isn’t it fun how American politics is all about the action or inaction of 80+ year old fossils? people society at large ignores when they’re family or neighbors but they’re running the whole fucking thing

oh no you got me! enjoy the collapse of your nation
Take some responsibility for how shitty the Democrats are. They’re not entitled to people’s votes they have to earn them. If my options are shit salad and shit sandwich I’m not worried about carbs.
It’s too bad corporations evolved in nature and there’s no way to get rid of them
Joe Biden nearly got 1 food truck in to gaza from the 300 million dollar pier and one of Israel’s bomb shipments was 10 minutes late thanks to him though. That’s bringing the left and liberals together.
If she didn’t want to be abused why did she ever have fun in her life before or after the abuse? Mixed signals.
You moron.
I feel like the effort to make such a repo and make it popular enough to be cloned and rehosted is a lot more effort than someone manually checking the results of an automated filter process.
The “effort economy” is hugely in favor of the mirroring side
I sure hope no buildings are damaged as society collapses from climate change strain
you’re advocating for the intentional drowning of people for the horrible crime of… wanting to enter your country?
not sure what new evil migrants can bring to your homeland when you exist
Only you know the truth!
Unsurprisingly the political organization whose power comes from private funding is the one backing right wing fascist bullshit. You’re not going to find a left wing organization with the same resources because it won’t have corporate political backing.
Anarchists and other leftists (leftists, not liberals) are typically pro-gun and for the reasons you mention
No the NRA doesn’t matter, right wing support of weapons doesn’t matter. The left wing support of weapons matters.
this is what paranoid skepticism looks like i guess. being skeptical isn’t noble in and of itself
Conservatives would be the first to call anyone participating in the uprising unamerican and would be more likely to form reactionary militias supportive of the fascist government than to overthrow anything
I think that’s a fair take and perhaps indicates you’d lean anarchist-left. Direct action, mutual aid, and forming parallel power structures are the exact political and social activities that are core to that philosophy. Not exclusively so, but anarchists emphasize that kind of thing over activities like voting or, I guess, awaiting revolution.
I have mixed feelings myself, that kind of natural transformation won’t just be left alone to evolve, it’ll be actively resisted by powerful political and global forces, the United States and its allies would not allow it, for example. So in that sense a powerful political organization manifesting as a new revolutionary state does seem more likely to work to me, similar to how feudalism and monarchy resisted liberalism and had to be resisted through war.
Funny enough a big reason there’s animosity between leftists, especially between anarchists and Marxist-Leninists, is because anarchist experiments were sabotaged and anarchists were fought by “Communists” during the Spanish civil war even as they together fought against Fascists. You’d think a “communist vanguard state” with the goal of establishing communism would be supportive of autonomous anarchist collectives, but those leftists weren’t under the thumb of the Soviet Union. I think this pretty clearly demonstrated that the USSR wasn’t interested in anything but Empire.
I wonder what you would think of trans men dominating their cis-female competition while having periods
Those states, according to theory, are meant to be a transition TO communism, but of course many things can go wrong in that process, and we’re kinda right back at the situation portrayed in the meme.
Despite my spat with the ML leftists in this thread, I see why the idea of a communist Vanguard state is appealing. I also see how a state which transforms into socialism or communism must be “authoritarian” in that it has to take away factories and land from those that keep it as capital, so that it can be shared. These states also had to contend with constant sabotage and aggression from the Liberal Democracies of the West who feared worker revolution coming to their own land.
Anarchists are a more idealistic bunch and generally strive to build parallel power structures and organizations of people and so try to construct a new order upwards. In practice it’s hard to imagine that method being able to replace nation states, especially with similar external sabotage on top of the existing internal challenges of running an equal society. Dictatorships and blind supporters of authoritarian leaders are hard to best in terms of efficiency.
Both approaches seek to accomplish communism, anarchists want to have their dessert right away, Marxist-Leninists believe the wolf will take care of them just as soon as he’s done eating his enemies.
There has never been a communist state, not as a cop-out, but because there is no state in communism by definition. These states claim that they’re transitional towards communism.
Also don’t go outside or let the Google car drive by your house or have email or throw documents in the trash
It’s also still relatively easy to tinker with windows to remove things you don’t like while still getting to use all of your software. Linux requires a lot of tinkering too but it’s so that you can use your software in the first place. It’s easier for me to tinker to eventually remove bloat and disable features I don’t use than it is for me to have to tinker to use my software and features in the first place.
there are more than two sides, Democrats would do well to realize that instead of making every election about how not Republican they are.
one of these parties will be gone in the next decade
