You don’t speak for all leftists.
Signed, a leftist.
Trump said he’d make the courts partisan and he did exactly that. Now we have some of the most extreme right wing federal courts, and an extremist christofascist supreme court.
Alabama declared that IVF embryos are children. A federal court is arguing that FDA overstepped in approval of mifeprostone, an abortifacient and uterotonic medication that is considered essential to first world medical care. Roe v. Wade overturned. Gay marriage on the docket. Interracial marriage in their sights.
Do you really want to have Gilead at home?
What the fuck mate.
Trump literally just said “time to finish the problem” regarding the Israeli bombardment of Gaza.
I know it’s a shit choice, but it’s the choice between the status quo of global imperialism, or global imperialism AND domestic fascism.
I don’t want either of these things, but I really don’t want to get executed at home.
Right, that’s why you right wing lunatics referred to him as “God Emperor of the United States”
No, I think I’m far enough on the left to be aware of capitalist propaganda. In all fairness to you, my statement did not treat the subject with the appropriate nuance the subject should require.
The DDR was socialist. However, it was state socialism, which in my opinion is not ideal and not something we should strive to replicate. Yes, the means of production were “owned by the people,” but the state tasks itself with protecting the people. And therein lies the problem with state socialism - the state is easily commandeered by a corrupt minority who then uses the governmental apparatus to run an authoritarian regime. Precisely what happened in the DDR and the USSR.
We should be able to recognize the imperfections in prior socialist attempts, without immediately calling it “capitalist NGO propaganda.”
Even the DDR wasn’t doing socialism. The public had to be all-in the idea, or they were discredited or arrested. It was an authoritarian autocracy acting in the name of socialism.
I agree with the sentiment - co-workers should not be knowledgeable of one’s health requirements.
The problem is that there is no option to break from the race. Even if we are wheezy, we must run yet.
Lol. Nice erasure of the existence of McCarthyism.
Communism pwnd itself bruh - shit sucked so hard they didn’t need Anti-Propaganda like:
Is This Tomorrow? America under communism!!
Shit was so bad, that the US didn’t need to run any covert operations to subvert, discredit, arrest, jail, or even, allegedly, assassinate the prominent figures and leaders of progressive, socialist, and communist movements – I mean, if they did, they certainly wouldn’t have called it COINTELPRO. It’d be a dumb name anyway.
Pfft
“If you can dodge taxes, you can dodge a ball”
Bro probably has his w4 withholdings set to take minimal tax out, but his liabilities are higher - then cries at tax time when he owes money.
Quite the powerful and convincing example you’ve cited there.
What evidence are you basing that assertion on?
Socialism is NOT whatever the hell this “sovereign citizen” stuff is.
Socialism is instead a democratization of the benefits of our collective labor.
Rather than permit the kings and nobles, billionaires, athletes, movie stars, politicians, and pop idols to take the lion’s share - we use it to invest in our society, our collective well being.
You work? I do too. And so do the clerks at the gas stations and grocery stores - the brick layers and the office workers - we’re all just working a job for a living.
For the ones that can’t or don’t want to work - Setting aside the murky definition of “work” - I’d rather they be fed, clothes, housed and warm, because it means safer lives for everyone.
It doesn’t matter.
Even if the third party candidate was literally the best candidate possible in the eyes of every American - they still wouldn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell at getting elected under a first past the post system.
We must enact and enforce a ranked choice voting system nationally, otherwise it will always come back to red vs blue, and a third party vote is electoral masturbation.
Education is anywhere from free to really cheap in Germany, and we still don’t get many people from poorer families into uni.
I am not German myself, but I am familiar with the system. Please correct me if things have evolved, but…
I thought the post-elementary education system in Germany was a tiered system. University admission requires completing the Abitur exams, but one can only feasibly do this if they’ve attended Gymnasium, or the “highest” tier of high school. It may be possible to do if one gets very high marks in Realschule (mid tier), along with Abitur preparation courses, but it’s virtually impossible if one attends Hauptschule (lowest tier). These schools are not intended to provide university preparation, but instead provide a general education to prepare students for trades/vocational careers.
Whether a child attends Hauptschule, Realschule, or Gymnasium is decided at 9 or 10 years old, and is dependent on performance in elementary classes and teacher recommendations.
And when one considers that a child’s educational performance is directly related to both familial socioeconomic status and parental educational attainment, it’s not surprising that poorer people are less likely to attend or complete university.
Capitalists’ dominant position within the class hierarchy necessitates exploitation of the working class, and this is maintained by fomenting division. This tiered system is just one manifestation of how society can be stratefied and divided.
Are you glad because I’m not very inventive, or because my description demonstrates I’m disturbed?
And I have so many additional questions.
I can go on, but man this is weird…
Did you not see the video of the guy wearing his new tim apple ski goggles, in his semi-self driving Tesla cyber truck?
What makes you think people can behave?
I’m not really sure what point you’re making, but really do appreciate the documentary shared.
I look at this in the same way that I deal with dementia patients. Oh wow, that’s very interesting, hey I think “price is right” is on TV, let’s get you to the couch, and I’ll go get your lunch.
Why are we letting illogical opinion carry the same weight as tenured legal expertise and documented objective evidence?
Oh hi Mark
