Bruh did you forget the whole point of gerrymandering? Its literally rigging the voting system and your plan is to just vote with gerrymandering as a rallying cry. We’d be better off rallying around abortion rights. We’d be better off just rioting. I appreciate your rage about gerrymandering but thats something only primary voters give a shit about.

There are more districts that are no longer Republican strongholds than people realize.

The GOP is sitting at almost a 2/3rds supermajority in both houses. Which and how many districts do you think we can flip?

Speculations on democrat strategy should the GOP shove this down our throats?

2006, a fine vintage. Bush was still president.

“Woke” on foreign policy…

Xi first started geting so much hate from the west because he actually started purging communist party members for being too involved in the private sector. If he was encouraging the bourgeoisification of the CPC he would be hailed by the west.

I wonder how the government of nk earned those sanctions?

Please enlighten me on why you think that is?

Also do you think the DPRK is a real sovreign nation?

This loser didn’t buy the tazer.

My problem is you’re calling a well regulated market a “free market” when thats universally accepted as the total opposite definiton of the phrase. I dont know why you insist on calling market socialism “free markets”. You want market socialism for a free society.

Free markets are antithetical to a free society as you pointed out before.

Aaron Schwartz did not author reddit in search of capital. He created it because he thought it would facilitate internet communication. Ohanian thought he could profit off of it.

The fundamental ideology of capitalism is that people with capital reap the profits

That’s not an ideology. That’s the actual material conditions of capitalism. An ideology exists in people’s minds. Its the justification for those material conditions. The capitalist justification is “the freer the markets the freer the people”. Sometimes people see through that bullshit and they adopt a new ideology, usually some variant of fascism.

The Nazi’s and many fascists will cannibalize sectors of the market that dont get along with the new regime. This isn’t a particularly novel observation.

Its like you understand that everything the capitalists told you is bullshit but you still want the fake goal they set up. So you kept the label of “free market” and slapped it on “well regulated market” and are pretending like you’ve done some clever judo. Everyone will call you a market socialist because that’s what you want.

reddit needed capital funding to get started in a capitalist economy

Look man, good on you for understanding that “free markets”, the fundamental ideology of capitalism, is antagonistic to people’s liberty. Its just wild that you acknowledge that but then go on to insist we should keep doing free markets and capitalism.

Free markets and capitalism will always both ideologically and materially put people into power who disagree with you, people who want to deregulate the market and restrict people’s freedom. In order to actually do what you want you must shut those people, the bourgeoisie, out of power. It doesnt matter if you do that through revolutionary violence like the communists or through peaceful democracy like so many Latin american nations. You will be met with violence from the bourgeoisie. Doesnt matter if all you want is an actually regulated free market.

If you want your capitalism well regulated, put communists in charge of regulating it.

In the colloquial sense middle class is just an income bracket usually small business owners and skilled workers. Its a fairly meaningless categorization for describing someone’s relationship to society.

Small business owners (aka petite bourgeoisie) however, are the base of fascism as they are both heavily and precariously invested in capitalism. When capitalism enters a period of crisis, its the petite bourgeoisie that get politically motivated to “save” it by more fully subjugating the working class, but also intervening in the market to preserve sectors more loyal to the new fascist regime.

You should probably read up on the original author of reddit, Aaron Schwartz, before claiming capitalism made it.

Free market is the divine right of capitalism.

regulated enough that it stays free

What a perfect somersault.

The liberals just aren’t used to actual left wing push back.

The vast majority of world poverty reduction that capitalists claim has been from China. But hey, maybe China is a capitalist economy but you just need a communist government to regulate it effectively.

Being pro-Dessalines also underlines “tankie” mindset. Dessalines was an utter tyrant who declared himself emporer but his subjects weren’t slaves and everyone opposing him wanted to re-enslave them. Sure Toussaint Louverture would’ve been ideal but Napoleon rejected him so he failed. Its all strictly “lesser of two evils” mindset.
