“The plan is, as it has always been”

2019-10-09 15:02:04 UTC  

Suggests some sort of cabal running things

2019-10-09 15:02:36 UTC  

The parties aren’t just shadowy organizations, they’re dynamic blocs

2019-10-09 15:04:58 UTC  

Yeah sure it’s not some organized and conscious effort, as much as it’s just a consequence of the political trajectory of liberalism. It’s the result of the political framework they’ve put themselves in. They’re wholly incapable of challenging the fundamental assumptions of capitalism, and as a result they seek its maintenance necessarily.

Then can you do something about Rockwell suggesting we get hung? @TheNobody

2019-10-09 15:05:34 UTC  

I don’t think that’s accurate

2019-10-09 15:05:45 UTC  

I mean look at Warren and Sanders

2019-10-09 15:05:53 UTC  

You don’t think they are a positive step?

2019-10-09 15:06:12 UTC  

Or are you just an anti-incrementalism so you think we should burn it all down

2019-10-09 15:06:17 UTC  
2019-10-09 15:08:39 UTC  

I think it’s a positive step, and ideally one of them becomes the Democratic Candidate, but they’re not suggesting fundamental changes, just compromises, and when the UN scientist are telling us even if we were to meet our current emissions reduction goals (which we aren’t), we’re going to have catastrophic changes to our food production output, an answer outside of compromise is necessary

2019-10-09 15:09:36 UTC  

Yes, I agree with most of that, what kind of fundamental changes do you think are necessary?

2019-10-09 15:09:36 UTC  

It’s not burning it down. If the boat is sinking it’s not crazy to suggest we get on a different one.

2019-10-09 15:10:48 UTC  

An end to production for the sake of profit, a nationalization of all industry (where it is possible), a cessation of non-socially necessary production

2019-10-09 15:12:25 UTC  

If we don’t stop making fidget spinners, and stop overproducing we are existentially threatened, and Warren and Sanders don’t suggest solutions which will fix things like that. I think they’re steps in the right direction and they could shift the Overton Window further Left the same way Trump has shifted it Right, but they’re the most extreme Left wing of the Democratic Party

2019-10-09 15:12:51 UTC  

As an institution, the Democratic Party doesn’t have the necessary anti-capitalist posture

2019-10-09 15:15:16 UTC  

Eh, I don’t think there’s evidence to support those claims

2019-10-09 15:20:27 UTC  

Nationalize the industry? Is globalization that bad?

2019-10-09 15:23:14 UTC  

Huh, guess we should stop importing goods from other countries because they're making profit; guess we should also slow down the economy because thats also how we make profit

2019-10-09 15:26:37 UTC  

Should take a look at the Netherlands, they're doing some interesting innovation with agriculture; but ofc, *don't buy produce from the Netherlands because it'll make profit for them*

2019-10-09 15:38:07 UTC  

@3v6en8 No it means like

2019-10-09 15:38:15 UTC  

State ownership of the industry

2019-10-09 15:38:22 UTC  

Not an end to global trade

2019-10-09 15:41:17 UTC  

So like China?

2019-10-09 15:43:41 UTC  

No China has private ownership of capital by individuals who operate their businesses for profit

2019-10-09 15:48:20 UTC  

China is so much worse with capitalism than communism amirite fellas?

2019-10-09 15:48:30 UTC  

#Commiegang

2019-10-09 17:09:58 UTC  

Actually they aren't capitalist

2019-10-09 17:10:05 UTC  

They still are communist

2019-10-09 17:10:26 UTC  

They just make monkey from capitalist countries

2019-10-09 17:11:53 UTC  

*Globalization*

2019-10-09 17:12:53 UTC  

Also there barely is private ownership in China; CEOs have like around 1% shares in their companies and everything is leased 99 or so years

2019-10-09 17:14:21 UTC  

Not saying its bad or good; but that doesn't sound very private ownership

2019-10-09 18:08:14 UTC  

Politically communist, economically capitalist

2019-10-09 19:56:24 UTC  

china isnt communist they have an authoritarian government

2019-10-09 19:57:21 UTC  

they also have a huge wealth gap which is something you dont see in communism

2019-10-09 20:06:19 UTC  

sure you do.

2019-10-09 20:08:46 UTC  

?

2019-10-09 20:11:45 UTC  

communism is inherently authoritarian in practice

2019-10-09 20:12:00 UTC  

there is no other way for it to be structured
