Oh they’re here. They’re to us in our spaces as MAGA is to mainstream neoliberal spaces - they invade to sabotage, they seek to destroy. We could move to Mars and they’d send space drones with propaganda blasting from speakers.
This is very true
Interesting…I wonder how the devs will respond to this situation when it unfolds
Right? They just pull reality itself out of their ass, dust it off, and present it with glee
“As Marxists we must oppose everything the west approves of and approve of everything the west opposes”?
TIL Marxism is when contrarianism
“There is no flagship instance. The developers actively push sopuli.xyz and beehaw.org instead of lemmy.ml for multiple reasons.”
Lib is salty 😝
For comrades already here, I wasn’t sure how to go about this sort of welcome post as I’m not entirely sure what to expect/who will be incoming, so I tried to cast a wide net.
“So what is Marxism? Do I fit in here?”
Marxism is highly complex however the basic concept of it is:
Capitalism is fundamentally flawed, isn’t reformable, and requires a working class revolution to solve the constant revolving crisis’ of capitalism.
If you agree with the above statement you belong here.
Marxism takes a scientific and pragmatic approach towards solving this issue (organize, educate, agitate) as opposed to an idealistic one (we’ll just do a revolution and everything will be fixed!).
Welcome all new leftists! As per always, it is best to study works of our most successful comrades (Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao) and their works can be found at Marxists.org for free.
Really? The PRC should start a “Victims of US Imperialism Congress” and see how they respond
well…yes
Slogans
CIA: “Get in the -white- blacked out van, we have -candy- drugs”
DEA: “Where the cartels go to learn how to smuggle drugs!”
NED: “We love freedom and democracy” (snorts things which legitimize the concept of freedom in their minds, shoots democracy in the face)
Speaking of snorting things which create grandiose delusions…
Zelensky: “The victory is coming…just like the dragons in Game of Thrones, the victory is on it’s way…but I just need more money…for weapons…white powdery weapons of mass delusion…I mean destruction!”
CPUSA: “We’re definitely not reactionary opportunists in bed with the democrats…btw don’t forget to vote for the democrats!”
NATO: “We’re a “defensive organization”…if you obliterate the entire definition of defense and replace it with a picture of a monkey scratching his ballsack”
DPP: “WE ARE REAL CHINA!!..HEY! WHY IS NO ONE LOOKING AT ME?! …WHAT?! FUCK UKRAINE, LOOK AT ME!!! I AM ALL OF CHINA!!!”
Democrats: “Have you heard about this thing that sucks? Let me tell you how I’m not going to do anything about it. Actually, I’ll stop you if you try to do anything about it too…also fuck the republicans, they’re everyone bad from us to Putin to Satan except for when we’re talking about Putin then he is still Putin but also a republican/every republican and sometimes also the left who we try to make our base but could really give a shit less about because they aren’t bourgeois and those are the only people we even care to try and persuade with any real material concession…we just lie to the prols, then smack them on the noses like a bunch of stupid animals. Big dumb and stupi…wait is this thing still on?..Shit! Um…um…RUSSIA DID IT!!! Russia did it and I will gaslight the ever-living fuck out of you until you either believe it or there’s so much bullshit going on in the social strata that no one can organize an actual response to my bullshit. Yay, tyranny! Er- I mean dEmOcRaCy!!1!”
Republicans: “…What the democrats said/did but also fuck minorities. Guns and Jesus and stuff…”
Elon/Trump: “Let me show you why you can trust me” (sells a pile of bullshit then proceeds to fuck everyone over)
Gates: “This is why I’m NOT a weird anti-social sociopath” (proceeds to be a weird sociopath but in a social manner) “Welcome to my humble abode…whoops, mind the landmines! Have a seat on my couch made from refugee skins, you might feel a pinch, that’s just Cortana taking a DNA sample”
It means we all know they’re lying to and manipulating us through various means including terrorism and psychological warfare…and we’re expected to keep calm and carry on as if we don’t know what we do.
In other words, more of the same from the circus act
Still though, from Bernie (our 1904 point sort of speak) to Kautsky (1914) in only half the time is pretty impressive, no?
My mistake, it was smallpox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Fort_Pitt
CPUSA is explicitly named. Any other org would indeed be covered under colour of law (this law specifically) however it would require a court case to resolve such an invocation of colour of law which is always a gamble.
Depending on how much constitution ours have in OK, challenging such a movement not explicitly named in the referenced law in a court of law could end very badly for the prosecution. However, considering if our efforts were so substantial in OK I would not have to question the constitution of it would I?
Aside from being a gamble, all one has to do is consult law-practicing comrades to create a play list of legal foot dragging to be utilized in each and every single case so as to cost the state as much time and effort as possible challenging every single group from the PSL to the ABCDEFG. Until neoliberalism falls, money is no object to the regime, however this would create publicity for all of the left movements involved, which gives birth to more continuity, as well it would take up space in the legal process which could be used to fuck over our class.
