    Hey, as a trans person involved in a socialist org, get involved in a socialist org instead of arguing for your own catharsis.

    Trans genocide is happening in plenty of states even with a democrat in charge, democrats will not prevent trans genocide on a long term basis.


  • Bad faith actors are out here trying to channel energy into a psuedo-democracy instead of participating in bottom up politics.

    If you care about stopping fascism, join a socialist org. Donald Trump isn’t some anomaly, he is a result of systemic economic forces that bring imperialist violence back to our shores as global resistance makes our imperial influence overseas wane. Democrats (the people who control the democratic party, not like, voters) do not want to bring an end to the system that creates this phenomenon, they directly profit from it.

    You can’t base your opposition to fascism by voting for a party that supports the conditions that are creating fascism. I dont care who you vote for, go hog wild, but join a socialist org if you care about stopping fascism in the long term.


  • The major differences between a liberal and a social democrat or progressive comes down largely to deciding when a market has failed and when to use government intervention,

    Okay sounds like you’re just describing different labels for liberalism.

    Compare these people to a communist who thinks we should literally nationalize and worker-self-manage the relevant sectors of economy and you’ll see what people are trying to tell you about how liberals and conservatives are basically the same.





  • Hey, please don’t use mediabiasfactcheck, the guy is just a center right tool without any qualifications to be making statements about the accuracy of reporting.

    Also, please remember that fact checkers aren’t really useful for determining the accuracy of a piece and you should practice “critical reading” skills instead of relying on random people who make websites to tell you how truthful something is.

    Please respond to this message and confirm you will follow the instructions within 48 hours!

    Thanks!



  • Germany is one of the few countries that actually very critically review their own history and spend a lot of effort on teaching younger generations the horrors of war (and of national socialism obviously).

    Wow, wild how Germany supports the genocide in Israel then. You’d have thought they were actually taught about that sort of stuff in school.

    I’m guessing Germans also learned about how denazification didn’t really happen in the western occupation zone after like 47? And how many former nazis had high ranking positions in NATO?

    Like, the elected politicians and bureaucracy can’t be trusted enough to regulate industry under capitalism so we’ll centralize things and then trust them to regulate industry under Communism?

    Literally read State and Revolution by Lenin which talks about how people assume the state has a neutral character, but actually it has a class character reflecting who it is designed to serve.



  • Ok but socdem. And before you try to make a counter argument with [insert nordic country that is actually capitalist]

    ??? That is a novel take “let us split power with our oppressors, but Nordic countries don’t do that”

    they always call the ussr and china communist while they arent.

    Yeah the USSR was and China is a transitionary socialist state lead by a communist party.

    Get it together people.
