I’m sorry but that’s in no way an objective source. On this particular social issue, that’s like citing Fox News. I’ll take some local news website or something that lists that sources or best of all the scientific study on the reluctance of doctors to perform abortions.
But I will not accept an NPR editorial on abortion as evidence.
Also that slogan is not as pithy as you think. Lol. Kind of makes you sound like a wine mom.
That’s on the doctors and I think it’s political in nature rather than as you described. I’m skeptical that this actually happens frequently.

There should be exceptions for when the mother’s health is at risk.

Roe versus Wade is not literally killing women. Hyperbole of the century.

And this my friend is exactly why communism is a dead philosophy. This right here above any kind of technical details or doctrinal differences or ideological issues… It’s this right here that you just described which is why communism will never succeed. Because communist themselves, in 2024 are nuts. I came to the same conclusion you did which is why I stopped calling myself one despite sympathizing and being a fellow traveler.

As a former extremist myself, you’re absolutely right. It’s not even really about changing the world or actual meaningful activism which is why these extremists are also totally useless in any movement they get involved. All they are is cancer. They just serve to alienate hard-working regular people who care about whatever cause it is.
That’s because communists are literally nuts and they’re not worth listening to in the modern day. Marxism has some valuable things to say. Communism does not.
Look, despite the appealing nature of some of the things Communists talk about they’re the last people that should be looked to to provide those things.
They haven’t even tried to acknowledge the horrors of communist regimes that have existed. There’s not even like an attempt to take responsibility and intellectualize it. It’s all just hand waved away as not real communism or blah blah blah or it didn’t happen or it was justified in truly horrifying cases. What kind of movement is going to be successful that can’t even acknowledge its mistakes? Acknowledging our mistakes is how we grow as individuals and it’s required to keep movements accountable and on the right track.
You cannot have a movement full of people who refuse to acknowledge the mistakes of the past… in charge. Best case scenario it doesn’t work which is what you see in communist circles today: Endless in-fighting, superiority complexes and toxic personalities.
Worst case scenario we have another genocide.
Communism is a joke philosophy and it’s not something that should be taken seriously by anybody. It’s one thing if it’s an entry point into the world of Marxism where there are legitimate things to be accomplished and to think about. But if you try and apply a communist philosophy or worse a Marxist leninist philosophy towards life and politics you’re not on the right track in the slightest.
It’s a doomed philosophy and a failed approach. Furthermore communism is not even necessary for the workers to seize the means of production. It’s just a particularly violent direct way that has been outmoded and is out of date.
So under this ridiculously broad definition any war whatsoever is genocide.
We both know that’s not a good definition nor is it really an accurate one historically. Nor is it what the vast overwhelming majority of people think genocide means.
And if the vast overall majority of people think one thing of a word that it doesn’t matter that a book says this is the actual meaning because people collectively decide what the meaning of words are.
Either way even this broad approach fails anyway because Israel is not trying to destroy Palestinians They’re trying to destroy a terrorist group that routinely murders people en masse.
You’ve nailed it. I couldn’t have said it better.

Communism is bad. Lenin was a murderer and Stalin was worse.
