I felt the same vibe when european soc dems were rebuking Macron for going after LePen for corruption or whatever it was. Like if she’s actually fascist, you dont decide to play electoralism with them. Doesnt help that sucks

Edit: I find the top comment so revealing of the liberal consciousness:

I mean for one huge reason among many others, there is no legal mechanism to do what you are suggesting.

It’s like asking why I can’t make my iPhone eat a hamburger. It has neither the programming nor the physical characteristics necessary for it to perform that action.

They see the laws of the US as material things, like the laws of physics. They dont even consider the millions of times Republicans/Trump/Billionaires/Corporations ignore and violate the laws with no repercussions. They are living in a fantasy world

It’s happening so fast and yet slow enough where i feel the population is just adjusting to it being the new normal. Very surreal

Jesus.

Ive had the hypothesis that the big bourgeoisie must be making out handsomely from this genocide, but i never actually dug into it.

I liked this quote from a article i saw on The Cradle “War is profit by other means” except replace war with genocide

Newsom is easier to attack cause you can just blame anything bad happening in California on him. It also doesnt help that he is constantly capitulating to republicans on policies which are causing the problems in California.

Dems care way too much about appeasing Republicans on paper, when they’ll literally never be satisfied and it does nothing to win them over

The most common thing i hear from the average brainwashed person is “government cant run things” because they think the government is incompetent. This gets reinforced everytime politicians defund programs and they inevitably get worse

Nice juxtaposition with the Bezos wedding

This type of Catholic extremism needs to be stopped

Isnt Khameini 86? Dude couldve died from stress. Iran needs a new leader if killing him would be so disruptive

Chairman Maodani is going to liberate New York from the landord Cuomintangs

I am sorry Lenin, thank you for guiding me back on the righteous path

I do remember one of his economics lectures on aggregate demand and explaining keynsian economics he kept prefacing everything with “Im not saying this actually how the economy works, I’m just teaching you theory behind it”. If i had to guess he’s prob also a libertarian

I was taught about socialism in school, and it honestly seemed very reasonable to me, especially when contrasted with capitalism.

What i wasnt taught was about countries successfully implementing socialism (the USSR was apparently deviating from socialism) and so I just thought it was yet to ever work. Also I was taught the Nazis were some variant of socialism.

Then you get older and start becoming anti-socialist because “my stonks” or “the free market provides the best solution for all”. I think thats because anything socialist introduced into a capitalist society highlights the contradictions of capitalism. Then you need to come to the understanding that socialist reforms dont work, and the only way socialism can work is a complete transformation of society.

As Lenin (or I think Marx) states, you need to smash the old state and create a new one, the working class cannot simply lay hold of the state machinery to use it for its own advancement

As others said, the anti-communists of the past were much more competent and created the state apparatus that can have any idiot pilot it while suppressing the left. We are just at the point where the idiots are piloting it.

Him being so outwardly angry with Israel and not as much on Iran must mean behind the scenes Iran is being pretty reasonable and Israel, like we all know, is not

Im so sorry

Seems like a lose lose for them

Soo is he getting a slap on the wrist?

Its really too bad the soviet union didnt last long enough that it couldve been around while the empire is in full decline. At the same time, maybe this decline wouldnt have happened had it been around.

Well, on the bright side wars can start revolutions

There will be tremendous bloodshed, no doubt, it’ll be horrific

This is exactly what im pessimistic about
