The billionaire class are so very clever about how they control the opposition to their fascist goals. See, they donate to Democrat campaigns of candidates like Harris who suck at their jobs. Then ordinary people do the work for them, by posting on the internet about how the Democrats suck. And thanks to the ordinary people who’ve been manipulated into spreading bourgeois propaganda that promotes apathy, Republicans win and pass tax cuts for the rich and hire more cops to beat up protesters and prevent the revolution.
No, not when the terms be phrased so delicately as you have just done. But I notice among certain communities, that anger stirs at the failure of Democrats to do anything, which is employed in further barring the Democrats from doing anything. I am certain this is by the design of some skilful propagandists, who have engineered our society in such a way that our very outrage is made our undoing.
And the mental health benefits are worth the downsides of spreading Bourgeois propaganda? The rich want you to think so, but the anarchists haven’t been taking the bait.
Which god? There are many.
“God” should never be capitalised, because that promotes exclusive monotheism. Faithful followers of Christ are henotheists, who believe in many gods. Jesus said to love our neighbours, and we cannot do that by denying their faith. Monotheism is a Roman invention they created to justify imperialism. That’s why you should never use “god” as a proper noun. It’s a title that belongs to no one god in particular.
Hivemind fallacy.
May Christ save you.
We are given no right to consume animals by virtue of power alone. To believe power entitles one to domination is the ideology of the fascists.
Where’s your sense of left unity? A few gentle nudges at your implementation of praxis, a bit of debate, and you call me a fake leftist. Dialectics requires good faith debate, but you resort to ad hominem defences as soon as a fellow leftist demonstrates the flaws in your plan to achieve communism. Your sect of leftism will never achieve revolution. You are too hostile to wisdom and unity. You will drive away all of your potential allies, and permit the capitalists to destroy you. So it was in Russia, so it was in Spain. I only pray to our Lord that you do not take us with you. Christ bless you.
why has hijacking a bourgeois electoral party to make it into a revolutionary proletariat one never been a strategy any revolutionary organizer you’ve read or read of ever made significant progress with?
Joe Simon did it while Stalin was still sucking Hitler’s dick
You’ve got to be one of the most annoyingly anti materialist goobers
you still can’t imagine anything beyond what already exists.
I can’t imagine anything beyond what exists? Well YOU can’t imagine anything but atoms! Everything’s made of atoms to you: people, governments, even our culture. I can imagine gods! I can imagine plagues! I can imagine worlds beyond this plane. I assure you that between the two of us, YOU are the realist. May your soul be saved.
The Democratic Party is not a person. Please set aside the Great Man Theory of history, which I see you have reskinned into your Great Egregore Theory. The Democratic Party is an organisation, which is subject to material pressures. We, the workers, ultimately create all material pressures. The Democratic Party responds to the balance of workers and bourgeois. When the workers are unprincipled, and vulnerable to propaganda, money begins to speak louder, and the politicians listen. When the workers are strong, united, and active in each and every avenue of politics, money is silenced, and the overton window shifts left.
Your primitive notions of good and evil individuals cannot be applied to national policy. You must switch to a dialectical determinist model, so you can truly understand what is going on. You can already see how dialectical determinism has begun to change New York for the better - the people are tired of fascism, they want change, and change follows. Tell them change is impossible, and you will make it so.
All or nothing fallacy.
Doing nothing is better than doing concentration camps. And yes, the Democrats are to blame for not stopping the concentration camps by doing something, but blame isn’t going to make that problem better, it’s just going to accelerate the problem, because their entire tactic is to be blamed.
What we need to do is think about the future, not the past. The right question isn’t “who is bad, who can I hate?” That’s not going to help. It’s going to help with Being Right, but Being Right only saves the world if it’s accompanied by Doing Right. You need to think about the consequences of your actions. This isn’t debate club, this is politics. You’re not just a spectator judging from the sidelines, you’re in this. You have choices to make.
You and I both want a revolution, so start from that goal, not from looking at the past. How do we get a revolution? We need to build a leftist movement and gradually escalate direct action. That takes time. We need to buy time. We need to slow down fascism enough that we can revolt faster than they can genocide. We do that by foiling the Democrats’ conspiracy to lose.
We need intelligence AND wisdom. Figuring out who the bad guys are is step 1. Step 2 isn’t hating them, step 2 is stopping them.
Where did I say do nothing?
you will find no friends in the halls of national government
There you go.
And by the way, politics isn’t about making friends, it’s about improving the world. But you want every option to be all - a worthy friend - or nothing - no possibility of cooperation. For the sake of Jesus Christ, read Marx’s address to the Communist League and be saved from this sin.
