There is something to be said about how capitalist media in the U.S. does actually frame β€œworking class” to mean bigoted white dudes with the blue collar aesthetic, regardless of whether they’re workers

Libs throw the baby out with the bath water and think β€œworking class” is meaningless

No he’s not, stop this delusional shit. He will never be punished by the legal system of the U.S. the U.S. WILL dive further into fascism. It’ll be unrecognizably worse in the 2030s, and be worse from there. Let’s be honest about the reality of what we live in

Not even imaginary Trotskyists really believe that shit 😞

Of course it’s actually because they don’t really think about this stuff at all

I don’t even understand why they get mad like that, the whole reason Jesus came to earth was to get killed

For more on use of natural resources- I’ve heard this book recommended but haven’t read it yet: Socialist States and the Environment by Salvatore Engel di Mauro

possible on the job, naturally, so factories, mines, etc had to figure out ways to work around this. You wouldn’t be able to have two jobs plus a side hustle, it simply wouldn’t be allowed (or necessary in the first place)

Yes, there would definitely be caps. A big problem in the USSR was actually lack of productivity because workers (after the panic before and during the world wars - which for obvious reasons made working conditions worse) had much more freedom in that sense. People still tended to do as little as

I wonder if any of them feel like even an ounce of emotion about the thousands of starving Palestinians they suspend over and over for the crime of begging for donations while they’re a victim of a genocide in an active zone of ethnic cleansing

Fantastic thread. We as communists should be compassionate, and that extends to not making distasteful jokes about US bombing campaigns or genocide or anything of the sort

Every day I see multiple messages to β€œboycott this company because they’re Nazisβ€œ and at some point it will be worth reckoning with the fact that the entirety of the capitalist class are Nazis

LMAOO right, like wtf? I’ll be in a doom spiral because I β€œwasted my day β€œ and it’s like 12:30 😭

Facts, I stopped looking at stuff like ADHD reddit communities or other online communities and instead just try to find a Dr Russell Barkley video on whatever concern I’m having

They literally killed 150 Iranian sailors just so they could jack their peepees and post le epic footage. You don’t hate these people enough.

I understand, that was during my little phase of trying really hard not to be the β€œannoying atheist” but now I’m like fuck it I’ll be an annoying atheist all I want

I’m realizing that, at some point in seeing the Gaza genocide, a flame went out in my heart I haven’t seen since. A steady drumbeat of atrocities and brazen sadism rewarded with, at best, tacit complicity, if not open bloodlust and frothing glee, eventually deadened something in me and left me cold.

It is literally the easiest thing in the world to get a medical discharge. I know of someone who got it for claiming erectile dysfunction. There are so many resources for how to leave. If you stay it is a choice and a genocidal one. And I have no sympathy

Yes this Trump administration’s bullshit has made me militant about being an atheist again

Watching more tax dollars then I will generate in my entire life be wasted on trying to blow up a drawing of a drone on the ground and crying tears of joy that we are going to lose and the American empire will fall

The numbers are staggering:

Rent is now unaffordable for a record *half* of U.S. renters.

Some 30 million jobs pay less than $15 an hour. The average wage needed to afford a one-bedroom apartment has climbed to $28.17 β€” nearly four times the federal minimum wage, which hasn't gone up in 16 years.

I’m a big time descriptivist but there’s something going on now where specialized and precise language unravels into slang and approximation of the original meaning within scant months and that makes it really hard to have conversations in which you know what both people mean

we realize that "the internet was better for us when it was a thing you had to sit down to do" is basically the same argument as "computers can never replace physical books" or whatever but also it's right. constant shortform communication every day is not good for your neural pathways

The approximate cause of death for Anne Frank was the Nazis. The specific cause of death was the outbreak of Typhus at Bergen-Belsen camp, which overtook her (and others) from chronic malnutrition and medical abuse. These conditions are not, in character, unlike our system of immigration camps today
