10 million people die every year because it is not profitable to feed them or give them medicine. Capitalist wealth comes from the blood and sweat of everyone else.

That’s because in capitalism the politicians actually serve the wealthy ruling class, not the citizens, and the ruling class and the citizens have vastly different priorities.

You are factually incorrect.

Someone has filled your head with propaganda.

The gulags were the just the name of their prison system and most of them were actually west of the Caucasus.

Oh, and America now imprisons more people (by numbers and per capita) than the USSR ever did.

Pampas grass is actually super invasive in certain areas (like all of California).

The idea of “weeds” is a colonialist construct.

Not sure whether to downvote because of the shitty human nature argument, or upvote because you’re right about wage theft.

Very true.

My most American belief is that society fell apart when we got rid of dueling. Assholes need the threat of violent retribution to contain their assholery, and without that, they just shit everywhere.

Of course, that belief falls apart the minute that you realize that assholes can be good at dueling, too…

Oh, I see, you think that just because the UK labeled Palestine Action a terrorist group, they actually are?

…

Hey, come on over, I got a bridge to sell you!

Why are you talking about Hamas in a thread about Palestine Action? The two groups are not related at all and use totally different tactics (Palestine Action is explicitly non-violent).

Well, guess who is stopping us from changing the system?

Nah, he was always blaming the Dems. The first tweet says there wasn’t a leak because the Dems didn’t know- implying that if they had known, then it would have leaked.

The second one is him confirming what he already thought based on Trump’s accusation.

Nah, the news won’t do that. They’re all owned by oligarchs who are responsible for the current state of the world. Corporate news is not on our side.

No one is coming to save us, we have to do it ourselves.

Wow thanks for the detailed write up. Can’t lie, it’s pretty annoying constantly having pro-communist or anti-capitalist comments removed by the lemmy.world mods for “misinformation.”

I disagree. terrorism and accelerationism are not needed and do more harm than good. The idea that you can just commit political violence and solve your problems is too tempting to angry people, who then believe that the actually successful tactics like organizing are not necessary. It’s taking the easy way out and usually just turns more people against you.

Of course, violence to protect people from the violence of the fascists is entirely acceptable and to be lauded.

Uneducated ramblings about horseshoe theory have entered the chat…

Then there’s me, who joined .world because it was the largest, is a Marxist, but has no idea how to even switch instances or access .ml where I would like to be 😂

Absolutely, but many people do not have the time luxury to read dense theory books, and (good) podcasts can at least get people acquainted with the ideas.

Also, (and I’m putting words in your mouth, so sorry for that) I think it’s a fallacy to say that every comrade must be a theory scholar. Certainly our leaders and organizers should be, but I think it’s fine if people don’t have the academic inclination and want to contribute in other ways.

The reason the numbers are idiotic is because they don’t need to make sense. There is no point to these tariffs other than to crash the US economy so that fat cat rich scum can buy everything and create corporate feudalism.
