[W]e must recognize, and loudly proclaim, that everyone, whatever his grade in the old society, whether strong or weak, capable or incapable, has, before everything, the right to live, and that society is bound to share among all, without exception, the means of existence it has at its disposal.

  • Kevin O Leary starts talking --

  • Past failures don't define the future of socialism

  • Do you mean to imply that capitalism works and works without repression?

  • Yeah those protests and votes will sure show capitalism! 2nd amendment? whats that? sounds AuThOrITarIAn

  • What do you define as violence? Property destruction? Denying insurance claims? This is a vacuous statement.

  • California is completely captured by tech billionaires.

  • If this is a quote, who said it?

  • Contrapoints after going on Bad Faith podcast

  • I tried to watch the podcast but I had a difficult time listening to Contrapoint's meandering.

  • Rehabilitating Stalin IS important

  • Thanks a lot 🫡. It's hard to know what to read given the level of bias out there.

  • Rehabilitating Stalin IS important

  • Do you have any resources that you would recommend on the Stalinist vs Trotskyist issue and/or scholarly resources on the history of the USSR? I don't see anything in your course/advanced course and it seems to be a reoccurring debate.

  • Just just one more protest guys! That'll show em! VoTEeee!

  • The right-wing does want to organize: in favor of white supremacy. If being white puts them higher on the hierarchy, then them can reap material gains while feeling superior. That superiority complex prevents them from anticipating the danger they are in; the division of the working class will be their own downfall when the fascism they enable comes back to extract wealth from the white supremacists.

  • "but human nature"

    Jump

  • If you only saw a bear in a circus, you would think its nature was to ride a unicycle.

    It's also intellectually dishonest to ignore examples of communal behavior, such as gift economies and communal farrming, as somehow not counting when we're considering "human nature". There are exceedingly many examples of selflessness even in this individualist hellhole we built for ourselves.

  • There is no left wing in America politics. There's only right wing and farther right wing.

  • The problem is that people come out to protest, on one Saturday, with zero threat of escalation. We need to read theory, form mutual aid groups, join leftist organizations, start worker's strikes, start renter's strikes, elect representatives, control the media narrative, and prepare/train for the inevitable response from the police/military.

  • Americans think they know about Tienanmen Square 1989 while themselves living in a police state / surveillance state.

    No one talks about the Philadelphia police bombing (yes, a literal bombing) of a Black residential neighborhood in 1985.

    No one talks about the police brutality against peaceful anti-Vietnam war groups in the 1960s/70s. Veterans who were drafted to fight an immoral war of aggression overseas were then beaten by the police for protesting that war. In 1970, the Ohio national guard opened fire on college students protesting at Kent State.

    Eric Garner, Tamir Rice (12 years old), Daniel Shaver, Philando Castile, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Renee Good, Alex Pretti and far, far too many people have been murdered on camera. Millions around the world protested the routine extrajudicial killings of unarmed Americans. But police killings increased every year during the Biden administration and Trump continues to throw people in the back of unmarked vans.

    Americans judge the PRC (and every socialist country) by their own retelling of its worst blunder in history; Americans judge the US by it's latest controversy while forgetting everything else.
