in Canada, it’s burgerzed.

Thank you for all the hard work you do, anbol. You’ve helped enlighten me and by extension tens of others (I often use you as a source, and by extension your sources). Just thanks, you keep killing it.

There are people still alive who witnessed European Jewish settlers arrive in Palestine.

The only “historical nuance” the Israeli state offers is deathcult, promised land, chosen people bullshit. It is black and white.

Every peaceful option has been exhausted. The settler government decided that the proper response to “peaceful protest” is to methodically and brutally murder children, doctors and journalists.

From the river to the sea, libs. 🇵🇸

(I agree with comrade NikkiB here, for context.)

“Poor little tankie, trying to lash out. Maybe you should take out your frustration by going to the front line of the Ukraine invasion. You’ll actually increase the average IQ of the world when your brains are splattered in a ditch.”

Why do you larp as a socialist? To poison the well? I think you’d feel more included on .

Why do you claim it’s happening? Can’t disprove a negative.

I’m glad you liked it!!

Wonder if they know they’re regurgitating propaganda from a cult that believes there are different heavens for different races.

Begging for money. I work 40 hours a week. Cheapest rent out of anyone I know. 5x5 cell of an apartment. I get paid weekly. I get $100 in food stamps a month.

Somehow, still -30USD in the hole and still hungry. Having 1/3 of my monthly paycheck go towards simply existing is fucking nuts, especially when we’re expected to pay for laundry, electric, gas (both domestic and vehicular), internet, phone bill, health insurance, car insurance, union dues, loan repayment, hospital and doctor bills, what THE FUCK!!!

I’m amazed anyone survives this shithole. I have respect for anyone who makes it here without trampling everyone around them underfoot.

They won’t, though. We won’t. We’re the ones who “fall through the cracks”. The MILLIONS.

Really funny that they use the 800 million number given that in 1953, 4 years after the PRC’s founding, China’s population was around 582 million, yet in the past 40 years (notably after Mao’s death) the CPC’s governance has lifted 800 million people out of poverty.

Where did they get the 800 million number from? Did they get it mixed up?

I met too many folk just like this in college. I considered myself an ancom. I knew an anarcho-syndicalist, ecosocialist, democratic socialist, guild socialist, libertarian socialist, Christian anarchist…

I can’t fault them or myself too much, we are taught to identify with ANYTHING but Marxism-Leninism. I was the edgiest one of the lot for daring to even identify with “communism” (albeit in its softer, less threatening anarchoform.) We agreed on pretty much everything, yet we all identified our politics as meaningfully different based on what we named them.

Continued study of imperialism and self-criticism turned most of us into genuine communists. Some got tired of radical politics and became Hilary stans. One’s a pastor and a patsoc who believes in literal demons and performs exorcisms and shit.

The U.S. left is in an absolute state.

The truth is that the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 was only the formal declaration of a war that had been going on for years between the US-NATO-EU powers, which are using Ukraine as their spearhead, and capitalist Russia, which is being utilized as China’s cushion in the latter’s acute conflict with the USA over supremacy in the imperialist system.

Welp. KKE’s bought and paid for, huh?

I find the concept of Russia being China’s “cushion” just… it’s just such interesting alt-history. China is using Russia as a buffer against the U.S. in their inter-imperialist conflict over Ukraine. Fascinating stuff.

Russia must have become significantly smaller and weaker when I wasn’t looking, since it somehow became a Chinese satellite state hellbent on furthering Beijing’s imperial agenda.

I knew they’d keep taking massive Ls after they doubled, tripled and quadrupled down on supporting tailist homophobic garbage.

Leave my mans alone, he’s obviously Argentinean

Eliminate self, become the internet.

Why?

It’s the 28th and I can’t afford rent! I work a 40 hour a week job! I’m thinking of selling my plasma! Woohoo!

That’s why we fight. Height reduction surgery will be free (and compulsory) under socialism, after all.

I’m jk. I have a friend who’s almost 6’10". At that height, it feels like the world was made for short people alone.

It’s ok. You’re a height traitor in my book.

It was almost clever using “control” so many times in your statement, but it made your commend kind of hard to read. I have no idea what you’re saying.

How is it that there is no question of, in your assessment of authoritarianism, how the controllers wound up in control? What class they represent? The median net wealth of every congressperson? How many of the controlled get fucking murdered by the controllers daily?

Scientific socialism is winning. Whatever you’re supporting is half-baked at best, especially if you’re still using words like authoritarian seriously.

The title reads like a very polite own.

Otherwise, depends on your circumstances. Do your nationally syndicated news media propagate right-wing or left-wing ideology writ large? Do your nation’s school systems instill senses of nationalism and xenophobia into its youth? Does your country’s leadership more fervently and regularly repress one side or the other?

It is easier to be a fascist in a fascist state. It is easier to be a liberal in a liberal one, and a socialist in a socialist one. Half the battle has already been won at that point. There is comfort to belief in the system one lives under, a comfort that has the potential to breed ignorance or intellectual laziness.

My own experience shows that most people are more – I hate to use the word, naturally inclined towards sympathizing with a left-wing perspective when the correct words are used.
