using that quote to defend religion is like defending the state by quoting the “Paris Commune” if that supports any view its mine.

yeah and in plenty of those societies religion WAS the hierarchy. how could we ever even eliminated class society while also preserving organizations and ideologies to which hierarchy is inherent.

did u happen to forget that religion has exists as it does today and in even more oppressive forms for thousands before capitalism came around? the idea that capitalism is making something that has been bad long before capitalism even exists bad is straight up a historical.

could have just said “so a slave should not have complained about his conditions because he ate his masters food and worked for him?” or pointed out that everything they have is made in China and everything they wear in Vietnam

like they said so many years ago about some nazi and pedo communities they had “we banned them because they were becoming too inconvenient not because of morality” im paraphrasing i dont remember what they actually said but it was something like that. they dont care as long as advertisers dont care

i dont think that little statistic about whites in 1775 america means anything, that was pre industrial and pre imperial power america it has nothing to do with the reality we live in now.

if sakai meant the first then idk he was smoking something mighty cuz the US is 60% white you cant just actively ignore 60% of people outright and build a revolution from there its not gonna work

there has to be solidarity otherwise this isnt gonna work, besides its not like white poor people are particularly advantage compared to black poor people or other poor oppressed people white people are just significantly more likely to be born richer to begin with (you know inherited wealth and a history of slavery/genocide/immigration dont generally go together) (not saying systemic racism doesn’t exist just that generational wealth is one of the biggest mechanism thru which it operates)

i dont think the situation has changed much i think settlers was just mostly wrong to begin with

idc thats for them to figure out im too ignorant and disinterested to have an opinion, tho im curious what you mean by japan do you mean Okinawa or the general american occupation of Japan

this isnt all that interesting its just Russian nationalism coping with the fact that Russia was at its greatest when it was part of the USSR. they cant deny their history as socialist because that would leave them with nothing to be proud of but they cant embrace it because it is antithetical to their ideology so you gets this shit
