Hahahahaha
okay but basically, right
even if it is the truth that women are equal
i still believe in marxist feminism and that socialism should defend women's rights
as well as men's
and all other groups of people
Then in that case the social justice part of your ideology is already met right?
well that's debatable
What country are you from if you don’t mind me asking
I think if a women doesn't want to take care of a child but conceives one a) shes stupid for ignoring the numerous forms of birth control readily available and b) at that point the child should be born and become the communities responsibility to raise as a fellow citizen
USA
rust belt to be precise
oof
@Bagrat that’s a little dumb... just because a kid exists doesn’t mean they deserve the fruits of my labor
And damn lol you guys got flipped in 2016 that’s for sure
It’s okay though I voted for the Donald
yeah really lmao
trying to convince people of socialism where i live is like pounding your head against a brick wall
cuz i live in a middle-class suburban neighborhood
It's the social aspects that people package with socialism that are unappealing
The real selling point for any white blue or black collar area is the decay of capitalism and the failing system around them
i always thought of it more as a difficulty of coming to terms with hard, depressing truths about the world we live in
most white families are slowly sinking out of the middle class and are trying to really on old systems which succeeded in the past at giving them reasonable legislature
ie the Republican party and conservatism in general
while simultaneously denying other groups that they dont much care about any say
i.e. the alt right
*care much about
Really the problem with marketing socialism now is the name itself
there are too many pissants who don't know anything about any form of Marxism and just want free stuff
and people who think socialism = they want my toothbrush
that's why i tend to refer to specific ideologies first and socialism/communism later
for example, when i talk about my beliefs, while i believe myself to be a socialist/communist first and a trotskyist second, i still open with the term trotskyism as not to instantly turn people off
Leon Trotsky makes me hotsky
ayyyy
out of the 3 big boise of the Russian Revolution he's probably my favorite
Although Lenin was onto something with the NEP
Mao was pretty cool to though
yeah he was alright
I think in the end all these figures failed in the long game though
