Most people agree that the aim of governance should be to improve our lives and wellbeing but then you talk to someone who self identifies as a capitalist and within two sentences you realize actual humans don’t factor into their world view at all.

Imperialism stokes this imagined oppression because US Christians have to be maintained as a support base for US led imperialism, which needs propaganda narratives to justify attacking Muslim majority countries or communists to maintain capitalist hegemony.

Reading a book some asshole said you should read but it turns out the book says you’re right and the asshole is wrong

The biggest crime of veganism is trying to convince people that you can replace chicken wings with roasted cauliflower or that portabello mushrooms can be a substitute for steak motherfucker those aren't proteins

The reason why you can't have a socialist US president is that US imperialism isn't a choice of foreign policy. The very process of amalgamating and binding US territories, which the president oversees, turns the presidential candidate into an imperialist by taking office.

You ever notice that almost every piece of media produced in the US is about cops in some way or another

It's shocking how little the National Question is talked about in the US left. One would think that in a prison house of nations, where indigenous and black people are being oppressed across national lines, this would be front and center.

Chauvinist leftists talk about Land Back as if it's a single, unified movement, when in reality it's a range of struggles taking place across the globe, each with its own specific characteristics. Any sweeping statement that tries to paint Land Back as one single thing is wrong.

Communists are driven by two emotional impulses: our love for the people and our ecology on one hand and our hatred for their exploiters on the other. The way we navigate these extremes plays a crucial role in how we develop as individuals.

We must be vigilant against infiltration and ideological warfare, as well as against the psychological effects that such vigilance entails. Fomenting paranoia and mistrust within organization is just as effective a tool of subversion as methods of ideological warfare.

god saw us using steam to power machines and was like nah I'm out they were NOT supposed to do that

Kinda sucks how the popular conception of socialism is just a capitalist state with welfare programs and minority protections, instead of actual socialism where we smash the state and replace it with one that abolishes capitalism entirely while also doing the other two things.

Y’all are playing into the the right wing tactic of calling anything short of brutal neoliberalism “communist” or “socialist”. All this does is miseducate people who are already intensely propagandized and politically illiterate.

The first task of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat is to smash Žižek’s means of writing things.

Some of you are allowed to make gay jokes about Lindsey Graham and others are not. I will be deciding who is being homophobic based on how funny the joke is and whether I like you personally or not.

Imperialism. The reason you are struggling is imperialism. The reason the climate is collapsing is imperialism. The reason we get war after war is imperialism. I cannot take your political opinions seriously if ending imperialism isn't your number one priority.

People who exclusively engage with politics through streamer drama are why we'll need extensive adult reeducation after the revolution.

You actually should care if candidates are crypto-fascists. At least ask yourself why a nazi would be supporting your "leftist" program like god damn you people are naive.

The reason people in the US are experiencing economic hardship is imperialism. Backing candidates who support US militarism, one of the pillars of imperialism, is never going to fix the root issue, no matter how good one or the other policy they back sounds.

RSDLP -> CPSU -> LGBT SDP -> KPD -> SED -> LGBT starting to notice a pattern here...

Democrats calling Trump a fascist but then also attacking everyone to their left...They wanna be the Weimar Republic so bad

Socialism will always be more democratic than any parliamentary democracy. "Democratic socialism" is nothing but an anti-communist dog whistle.

One thing you'll notice is that most Western Marxist critiques are solely destructive. They say what the object of critique shouldn't be doing, but they don't offer up an alternative that actually takes into account the conditions that gave rise to the choices they are attacking.

Really weird how Europeans go on about democracy when the EU is entirely undemocratic and just acts as a trans-national manager for imperialist interests.

Trump claims that "thousands and thousands of our soldiers" have been killed in the war on Iran. Up to now, the official Pentagon numbers were 13 killed. This is either a devastating admission or a blatant lie, but I haven't seen any journalists pick up on it.

Left-liberals talk about not wanting to back actual socialist candidates because they aren't "viable" within the duopoly, but then keep backing candidates who turn out to be non-viable either, because they are predators, war criminals or because the DNC ends up rat fucking them.

So choosing to participate in a US imperialist war campaign can be overlooked but SA against an American is where liberals draw the line? Really makes it obvious whose lives they view as worth protecting and who they view as disposable.

Liberals will acknowledge that the capitalist state is run by the most vile people imaginable only to immediately try to convince us that we shouldn’t do anything about it. This is why people aren’t buying the lesser-evil schtick anymore.

Communism is categorically pro-trans and anti-bio essentialism. Social roles emerge in response to the prevailing mode of production, they aren't inherent or static. Transphobic communists are fundamentally confused or just plain wrong about the Marxist worldview.

Condemning DSA in its entirety makes no sense. We gotta recognize its positive aspects, that tens of thousands want to move beyond capitalism and are taking anti-imperialist stances, as well as the reactionary aspects, that social democratic leadership betrays these aspirations.

You should be more scared of the climate catastrophe than of socialism. Capitalism puts human society and nature into an antagonistic contradiction. The only survivable way of solving it is a planned economy that prioritizes human life and ecology over profits. It's that simple.

Staggering military spending while austerity measures impoverish young people who are already facing rising unemployment. But military service will be well paid. Germany is pushing young people into the military through manufactured poverty.

They granted me access to the archives. Big mistake.

Hopefully those 53% figure out that you need a communist party to get to socialism, or you end up with a few years of social democracy, followed by another round of brutal neoliberalism.

Socialism provides housing, healthcare, jobs & education to everyone and for some mysterious reason the people who are rich because those things aren’t universally available really want you to believe its evil.
