They call us "tankies" because they'd look too obviously like fascists if they called us "commies"

ok i am watching the bulwark on Hasan and once again, i did not realize that "America deserved 9/11" was a controversial take? Like, we did a lot of meddling in areas that made people really mad at us! victims clearly didn't deserve to die, but there's a difference between people and the government

Hoosiers: I miss all those good well paying industrial jobs we used to have everywhere here in the rust belt Also Hoosiers: Unions are communist, which is bad "Union density has declined in the Midwest more than in any other region since 1979, dropping from 28.9% in 1979 to 11.0% in 2022."

It is ridiculous to speak of “law” when the landowners both make the laws and in practice apply or annul them. There is, therefore, a class that itself creates the “law” and itself annuls it. Liberal speeches about “law” and “reforms”, therefore, are empty chatter.

New: I wrote about how the SPLC let union breaking and fear of MAGA drive it away from its own civil rights principles. After I spoke up about Gaza, the SPLC disciplined me and terminated my employment—leading to a discrimination settlement: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Democrats don't want to defeat Trump, they want to BE Trump

You want to get into reading Marxist theory? Look no further! Starter pack in loose order: The Principles of Communism (Engels) The Communist Manifesto (Marx and Engels, optional) Socialism: Utopian and Scientific (Engels) Value, Price, and Profit (Marx) Wage Labor and Profit (Marx)

We are really at the crossroads, socialism or barbarism. We are already seeing more and more of the latter. Get organized.

The New York Times is a genocidal rag. They are framing Israel's ethnic cleansing of Shia Lebanese as simple "evacuation orders" from Israel. If you continue subscribing to the New York Times you are supportong this genocidal propaganda. Boycott the New York Times.

Fearmongering about the Chinese Communist Party in a country where a call for a $15 hourly wage is deemed too radical sure is rich

The Democrats are going to follow the right wingers at Third Way's lead, even if it costs them every election going forward. Calling it now.

TDOV coming up and I’ve lost count of the number of young people who’ve told me “it feels like it was all a trap telling us they had our backs” this year. Dozens? More? And I have nothing to say other than that I’m sorry and I’m so glad they’re here. But truly, world? You do not deserve trans kids.

The republicans want to kill every transgender person.

The republicans want to kill every transgender person.

I think you have to be a completely idiotic rube to think SCOTUS dropping their bipartisan torture-away-the-trans decision on Trans Day of Visibility is a coincidence

If you can't understand the danger inherent in such a law in a country where the existence of LGBT people is considered "pornographic", then I don't know what to tell you that'll penetrate the numbskull armor.

only democrats could look at a policy direction that inorganically sprung up the past couple of years in pretty much all and exclusively red states, observe that everyone in them is hating it so far, and come to the conclusion that adopting the same trajectory is appropriate for the opposition party

If you are buy merchandise with the Harry Potter IP, then you are actively supporting JK Rowling’s Anti-Trans crusade.

not enough people are talking about the attempt to assassinate Nerdeen Kiswani

How privileged of you to think these people don't yearn for the bombs, blockades, starvation sanctions, and assassinations.

criminalizing bathroom use essentially forces trans people to either out themselves in potentially hostile places or to stay in the closet, and if you don't see the issue there idk what to tell you man, you're just as evil as everyone says you are

They want to police our genitalia and run tests on our bodies to “prove” we are women, at which point they will still deny it. This is why the only feminism is trans-inclusive and why transphobia and anti-trans discrimination should be a top political priority.

Now that they've got Freddie Freeman out in these streets looking like Based Zhou Enlai, I guess anything is possible.

This early photograph from Tourane (today’s Da Nang) shows three Buddhist monks at the Marble Mountains temple complex. It is a rare colonial-era view of the full hierarchy of Vietnamese Buddhist monastic dress, from a novice’s plain robe to the ceremonial vestments of a senior abbot.🧵 🗃️ 📜 #Vietnam

In conclusion it will perhaps be worth while replying to a question which has probably occurred already to more than one reader. Did it pay to argue so long with such gentlemen? Was it worth while replying seriously to this stream of liberal and censor-protected filth…?

Seeing "trans kids given deadline to segregate themselves" and "trans women banned from yet another part of society" headlines *every single day* while everyone you know and every organization stays breathtakingly silent takes such a damn toll on your heart.

Neither Democrats nor Republicans offer a coherent set of politics that provide an adequate explanation of our political reality. You see someone with their head way up the ass of one of these parties, it means that they absolutely have not thought through the logic and/or don't care about coherence

The NBC article is HORRENDOUS and goes so far as to claim a "testosterone boost in utero" makes trans women *born* with advantages. That's where we're at now: a major national news source claiming trans women are born wrong. This is genocidal rhetoric plain and simple.

absurd bit is basically EVERY study in last 5yrs comparing trans women to cis show not only no real "advantage" but with transition said "advantages" quickly become actual "disadvantages". Literally IOC OWN studies show full bans/sex testing are NOT fact-based..this is purely political/bigotry-based

A statement on the IOC's decision to reintroduce mandatory sex testing for women. Please share widely. Alt text follows in the following posts.

I’m so sick thinking about how Trump, Elon Musk, and especially JK Rowling’s vile harassment campaign of lies and slander against Imane Khelif resulted in even more restrictions on women athletes. Meanwhile, Khelif is an actual inspiration to women and girls wanting to pursue boxing!

I was hoping they would hold off on Great Depression II until the 100th anniversary of the first but with worrying signs about the AI bubble and the Strait of Hormuz situation, we might get it early.

Working in a pandemic world is just listening to colleagues say “there must be something going around” on a weekly basis for years and trying to decide if you wanna remind them it’s covid or silently scream into the void again.

When the global financial paper of record says the market is fake and being manipulated by the President you just know we are entering the Cool Zone

The fact that anyone that supports the United States or Israel feels like they can call anyone on planet earth a tankie continues to boggle the mind inside my skull

today's a banner day for elected democrats being like "we need TSA security theater, NOT ICE security theater!" "we need a strong DHS, NOT markwayne who can't even help us secure the border!" "we can't afford to let trump FORCE us to swallow cyanide, we want to CHOOSE to swallow deadly strychnine!"

This is Fetterman's 46th yea vote for a Trump nominee this session. This is Heinrich's 21st. The top 5 Dems voting yea for Trump nominees are now: 1) Jeanne Shaheen (NH): 53 2) Maggie Hassan (NH): 47 3) John Fetterman (PA): 46 4) Tim Kaine (VA): 39 5) Mark Kelly (AZ): 36

If people who regard themselves as liberal and progressive scholars are capable of tolerating such heroes of buffoonery…if these heroes are granted scientific degrees…then that only shows the ‘law’ of the bourgeois era: the more shamelessly you mock science to demolish Marx the greater is your merit

If they understood literally anything, they wouldn't be liberals.

ALL WOMEN are now facing the full tyranny of anti-trans activists as they rip apart abortion rights. If you shout at them to stop, they will label you aggressive men who don't care about real women. Stand with your trans sisters to fight back. Trans rights are ALL WOMEN’S RIGHTS!!

The Liberals have been accustomed to console themselves with constitutional illusions and phrases about the rule of law, and close their eyes to the real relation of forces, to the class struggle.

The US is so far right that the center-right Democratic Party is considered the "radical left".

Socialism is not a ready-made system that will be mankind’s benefactor. Socialism is the class struggle of the present-day proletariat as it advances from one objective today to another objective tomorrow for the sake of its basic objective, to which it is coming nearer every day.

Unsure if the current situation is actually more corrupt or just more obviously corrupt. Sometimes it seems to me that they simply dropped all pretense and not much else.

All FBI directors are devil beings, no matter if Democrat or Republican approved, because their systemic purpose is to persecute anyone who endangers US hegemony.
