yeah I feel there is an appeal of anarchism but I am doubtful in it's application both currently and historically

@quiscalus Anarchy is always temporary.

my question is with a super powerful military and a wealthy western democracy is there any reasonable alternative to reform through electoral politics?

*in the US

Super powerful? You mean the same guys who got their asses kicked in afghanistan and vietnam and bugged out to save face?

They will be fully neutered once oil becomes impractical to use due to the scarcity and cost of it.

It's ok we can always sell the Saudis bombers that use green energy lol

they can bomb and family in Yemen using munitions that are sustainably sourced

hey guys i have an idea let's let the saudis bomb our own buildings and then use that as a pretense to invade iraq for their oil

@quiscalus The saudi's will collapse once oil becomes too expensive and impractical to use, since their whole nation is built upon it.

sorry will be back later tonight go to go to a dinner party

^

howdy fellow lefties

got back from my dinner get together

do you guys have any local leftist organization you dudes work with? I was looking into my local DSA but I never been part of any leftist group

you mean something like antifa?

or perhaps some DNC subdivision?

disgusting

No, he's not an ignorant, emotionally-driven cuck like yourself.

why are you so hostile

to

literally everyone here

are you cosplaying as that guy from adventure time

lemongrab?

I personally just consumed leftist media, donated to charity, and tried to vote in the best way possible as a leftist

He means a political organization whose views and aims are opposed to either of the major capitalist parties.

he said leftist

I have never been part of any organization I feel kind of strange going into any formal thing like this I would hate for it to get back to my work

I'm almost certain he is talking about a socialist organization.

i will encourage you to partake in the political process, however i will also warn you that many of these groups have violent associations with them

you may want to avoid them if you care about your job

I have not read enough theory to properly define my beliefs like I am unsure about markets, and currency or labor vouchers, etc?

yeah I am not interested in losing my job or my license to carry a gun

@quiscalus You will undergo a trial phase with any of the major socialist organizations in which your theoretical knowledge will be tested.

so you are fairly new to this realm then

this realm of politics

very mean i'll tell you that
