control one's own workplace. own neighborhood. own town. etc
@not_matt I just don't think the average person is ready for that. Not without class consciousness and theoretical education.
true
that's why we need to win comrade
and quickly
we're losing earth in like 50 years, tops
I think our goal is the same though. An enlightened populace fully controlling its destiny.
Was it that hard to see that Trump wasn't what he said he'd be?
Depends which angle you want to approach it.
Politics in the modern day is a circus
its a sport. its entertainment tv
Most of the big first world nations are now reenacting the Weimar/Austro-Hungary
@Deleted User I made a bet with myself that if Trump turned into a shame, I would reassess my world view regarding the political system. It was hard. Most people never question their fundamental assumptions about the world like that.
we elected a reality tv star in the most important executive position in the world ffs
ugh i have work tomorrow morning
I think, accelerate the collapse, have a revolution with an educated Vanguard, create structures for mass education, and then go from there. Instead of the reverse of creating a new democratic and hoping for the best. You need to stop the old ways from returning.
acceleration just further entrenches capitalist hegemony imo
like, there's a reason the capitalist ideology is so pervasive rn
these fucks are GOOD at what they do
Well, I kind of think it is apart of the dialectic. Instead of bailing out the banks, for example, let society be enriched by the reality of capitalism.
>muh capitalism
This stage of capitalism is cancer and industrialists need a good old purge I agree; do not blame the problems on simple labels and apply the labels wherever
This is the rut I see most of the people on the communist spectrum landing in
Always
what do you mean rut
There is too much capital and too little good investments. Finance is all speculative. Too greedy. The tipping point is close. In Europe especially.
A place you get stuck in
we oppose capitalism lol
thats our thing
I oppose capitalism as well, not in the same way you do
well if we both oppose capitalism we comrades
like it or not 😉
unless ur fash kek
(i think fascism is misguided communism, thats why im so interested and repulsed by it)
>fascism is misguided communism
(they always co-opt leftist goals and terminology but fail to actually engage in critical evaluations of society)
("we have to do whats best for the working people!"... by entrenching capital)
same thing with conservatism tbh
they all talk about "freedom" and "democracy" but if you actually analyze society through that lens you realize the threats to freedom and democracy are rooted in capitalism
porky led them to believe that doing the opposite of what would see their ideals manifest is exactly how to manifest them
brilliant
the fact that right-libertarianism even exists in the united states is a credit to the koch bros and their pork-like ilk
