  • Saddam was like one of those smaller predators that hunts in packs but tend to get picked off by bigger predators when isolated. In this case the U.S. was the bigger predator.

    "There's always a bigger fish."

    Rest in piss, #PACKWATCH, etc. but what came after him was definitely worse. Same with Assad. If Putin falls and a Western lackey replaces him it'll be the same deal.

  • 🫵 You WILL have hope, comrade.

  • Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis is Fichtean, not Hegelian.

    But yes socialists have to act in accordance with their material conditions. If the workers are mostly religious then anti-religious sentiment needs to be toned down. Of course there's a difference between antitheism and anti-clericalism.

  • You have to remember that the extremely militant atheism of the Russian and Spanish revolutions were in response to the clergy aligning themselves with the ruling class and reactionary forces. This is because the class interests of the clergy, as property owners, was aligned with that of the aristocrats and bourgeoisie and was inherently at odds with socialism. I do think certain parts of the revolutionary movements overcorrected in reaction but it's understandable why they zero'd in on religion so strongly with this context.

  • This is pretty much all AI can do consistently well: find links and sources for what you're looking for. For everything else your mileage is going to vary.

  • Lesser Evilism

    America isn't perfect but everyone else is "worse" - according to U.S. propaganda and Western chauvinism, of course.

  • "Antizionism is a hate movement." says man spouting racist bullshit about Arabs.

    Like really what is the difference between this and Nazis turning on each other because they found out one of their buddies had Jewish ancestry?

  • Redditors on average seem to be the types of people who make good money, not the types who are actually poor and struggling.

    Not quite petite bourgeois (although many are) so much as just earning a living wage.

    Don't expect sympathy from them. They're going to be classist because they just frankly don't get it.

  • Literally nothing you just said is true.

    Have you met any actual radfems? And no, TERFs don't count. Most of the people using that label or having it applied to them aren't even feminists in the first place, much less radical ones. Rowling and her ilk aren't TERFs. Actual TERFs fly under the radar as TERFs because they don't constantly talk about trans people. I've had to distance myself from many radfems who seemed genuinely normal before revealing how transphobic they were when it came to trans issues because of this, and even then they are outnumbered by trans-inclusive radfems - many of whom are themselves trans, much like myself.

    "Kill all men" is a misogynistic, anti-feminist stereotype. It is used to smear feminists and especially radfems. The man-hating feminist caricature exists to demonize feminism and its supporters and doesn't reflect a statistically significant trend within feminism but is based on deliberate misframing of radical feminist theory.

  • It is impossible to be both a radfem and a liberal.

    Radical Feminism, much like Marxist Feminism, takes a materialist approach to gender relations and the workings of patriarchy. Liberals by contrast are notoriously anti-materialist and build their worldview on vibes and virtue signaling.

  • 🫵 You WILL have hope, comrade.

  • That's okay because nobody fuckin' asked you.

  • I mean I just got back on BlueSky a few days ago (their ban evasion methods suck apparently lmao) and deadass I just saw a guy (calls himself a demsoc, sympathetic to anarchism) confidently try to argue that Marx wasn't anti-capitalist.

    Social media has a way of bringing out the most bewildering takes from the most ignorant people on planet Earth.

  • I don't think this comparison is fair or honest. Never once seen an anarchist call the Gaza Genocide anything other than what it is.

    Liberals are the ones always hand-wringing about how "complicated" Palestine is.

  • i mean sure but what does that have to do with communism

  • US companies are the US government.

    Almost all government offices are staffed by current or former private sector ghouls and it has always been this way. People with money & property have made up the majority of the government for its entire existence and have consistently used this power for their own class interests.

    You can't separate the oligarchs from the politicians. They're the same thing.

  • honestly i strong recommend against getting a "low skill job"

    they rarely pay well and there's usually a catch when they do

  • They took the saying "adapt or die" seriously.

  • many such cases

  • communism made people so miserable that the people who lived under it want it back

    fascism made people so happy that Mussolini's own people lynched him

    make it make sense
