“The bourgeois mode of production is the last antagonistic form of the social process of production… but the productive forces developing within bourgeois society create also the material conditions for a solution of this antagonism” — Marx, A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy
At least they’re setting deadlines and verbally admonishing Israel, under Trump you won’t even get that. If you had given the Democrats at least another four years to learn how to not continue sending billions of dollars to the entity they’re VERY upset with, then maybe we’d get somewhere.
You know when you vote third party or don’t vote at all, they count that as a vote for Trump, and that’s what won him the election. Congrats, you really helped Gaza!!
Explain to me what communism is.
But we are discussing it. There are multiple comments going through specific points in the article. If you gave an actual substantive reply to criticism of the article then you would get a substantive reply instead of a dunk.
Multiple comments have gone through bulletin points and explained why they’re wrong. If you can’t engage with specific criticism then don’t defend the article?
And if you say seriously engaging with criticism will get you a ton of dismissive replies, this is actually what willfully ignoring it will do, and has done.
You have no idea what communism is. I am 100% certain of that.
You are. Take an actual position. Push a specific point from the article, point out your specific problem with “tankies,” etc. If you can’t do that then read the other replies to the post. Try making a specific reply to their critiques of the article.
Heh, if I intentionally vaguepost then they’ll tell me to make clearer points or stop talking. This will prove the article right (I’m literally being censored for not conforming to your hivemind).
If they intuit what I’m saying and agree with me then they’ll be agreeing with the article and this will also prove the article right.
During uprisings, they’ll callously attack dissidents under a regime the vanguard supports, calling them CIA removed and calling their autonomous revolts “Color Revolutions”—if those same dissidents were in the US, ironically, the vanguard group would try to recruit them
I love completely ignoring the actual evidence of CIA meddling/color revolution constantly presented in these cases because even mentioning it must be a sinister propaganda ploy to undermine “autonomous revolts” against “authoritarian regimes”!! How do I know this? Um because there’s motive on the part of tankies to defend these “regimes” (which are praised as “anti-imperialist”) against criticism, whereas there is no motive to attack these “regimes” (which we thoroughly condemn as “authoritarian” and seek the collapse of) on our part!! And with this the “irony” is revealed that our position is correct and therefore the tankies are silly.
Wrt rent control (Prop 33) there were constant TV ads spreading lies about it restricting the construction of new housing and removing some nebulous protections for the elderly and veterans.
That misses the point so obviously
Proj 2025 is going to be implemented by Trump?* Waow I should vote for the party that conspired to elevate him in the Republican Party so he or an equivalent could be the Republican nominee in 2016!!
*No, it isn’t.
And you haven’t addressed what Kamala is actually saying.
“libertarian socialist” please PLEASE stop talking
I think I’ll listen to the future commandHER in chief:
As Vice President, [Kamala] supported the bipartisan border security bill, the strongest reform in decades. The legislation would have deployed more detection technology to intercept fentanyl and other drugs and added 1,500 border security agents to protect our border [and resumed and expanded border wall construction]. After Donald Trump killed the border deal for his political gain, she and President Biden took action on their own — and now border crossings are at the lowest level in 4 years, their administration is seizing record amounts of fentanyl, and secured funding for the most significant increase in border agents in ten years. As President, she will bring back the bipartisan border security bill and sign it into law. (from her website)
: “Um hello I hate immigrants more than Trump and justify this with drug hysteria while refusing to look at the root causes, if you vote for me I WILL increase harm and I WILL make the lives of oppressed people worse, something Trump is too NARCISSISTIC to do for our country”
: “Um wow I’m going to vote for you to reduce harm and keep oppressed people safe”
Don’t look at me like that pal
