Do you not even understand how time works? That Russia was feudal, and then socialist starting in the early 20th century, and now capitalist since the late 20th century?
Billionaires never get their asses kicked.
There isn’t a secret conspiracy to price people out of using computers for being a “democratizing force.” In fact, our computer & internet usage is monitored by the security state and by Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, etc. Or did we forget everything that Snowden revealed? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM
Under the past few Democratic admins, most of the US were complacent and they just put their faith in the imagined progressive forces of the Democratic Party to make things better. Under the Republicans, way more people get radicalized and start to look for solutions outside of electoralism.
If Harris wins, the Democratic base will continue to sleep. You can do anything when the Dems are in the WH. It was under Trump that protesters shut down airport terminals, but under Biden the base sleeps regarding immigration & asylum. That’s what Glenn Greenwald and I learned from the GWB to Obama transition: the Dems sleep when their team is in office. Greenwald “changed” from hero to villain without changing the least bit; the only difference was who was in office. Unlike the Dem-aligned media, he didn’t go to sleep.
You can war as much as you want. You can run a fucking star chamber. You can stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody.
I don’t get it? Was this supposed to have sound that made it make sense? Or are we supposed to be familiar with this episode of Naked and Afraid?
You want them all to die for your evil cause.
TBF, most Westerners are misinformed about why the US wanted this war, so I usually don’t accuse them of being aligned with those interests. They usually imagine Ukraine as Western corporate media want them to imagine it: as a peaceful, monocultural European liberal democracy which was suddenly invaded unprovoked by an imperialist autocrat bent on conquering all of Europe.
Which Ukrainians?

Previously. Previously.
When you have to go back 93 years to the Great Depression to find an example, you’ve made my point.
FDR did what he did to save capitalism from the threat of socialist revolution, and politicians have spent the last three generations clawing back the concessions he had made to socialist & labor agitators. They also purged socialists from labor unions, and they purged and even assassinated communists, to avoid any such thing happening again.
Chris Hedges, America: The Farewell Tour:
The New Deal, as Franklin Delano Roosevelt said, saved capitalism. It was put in place because socialists were a strong and serious threat. The oligarchs understood that with the breakdown of capitalism—something I expect we will again witness in our lifetimes—there was a possibility of a socialist revolution. They did not want to lose their wealth and power. Roosevelt, writing to a friend in 1930, said there was “no question in my mind that it is time for the country to become fairly radical for at least one generation. History shows that where this occurs occasionally, nations are saved from revolution.” In other words, Roosevelt went to his fellow oligarchs and said, “Hand over some of your money or you will lose all your money in a revolution.” And they complied. That is how the government created fifteen million jobs, Social Security, unemployment benefits, and public works projects. The capitalists did not do this because the suffering of the masses moved them to pity. They did this because they were scared.
I just think its swell that leftist is now cisgender heternormative and white.
If you’d developed class consciousness, you’d understand why neither party enacts progressive policies despite their popularity. Previously:
The US government was never not captured by the bourgeoisie, because the US was born of a bourgeois revolution[1]. The wealthy, white, male, land-owning, largely slave-owning Founding Fathers constructed a bourgeois state with “checks and balances” against the “tyranny of the majority”. It was never meant to represent the majority—the working class—and it never has, despite eventually allowing women and non-whites (at least those not disenfranchised by the carceral system) to vote.

I will gladly be a communist liberal.
It is impossible to be a communist/anarchist/socialist/leftist liberal, because communism/anarchism/socialism/leftism are diametrically opposed to liberalism.
Classic BlueAnon Russiagate conspiracy theory.
They did not all re-win their primaries. See Bernie Sanders, Cory Bush, and Jamal Bowman. And you can’t win a primary when the DNC undemocratically cancels it, as it did last year.
📺 Why the Democratic Party CANNOT and WILL NOT be Reformed
Democrats would rather lose to a Republican, to a conservative, to a fascist, to Trump, than address the material conditions of the American people.
I’ve never run into one myself. ProleWiki/Lemmygrad user Wisconcom was before my time.
A self-proclaimed Hoxhaist (although he would later start calling himself a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist, anti-revisionist, or a Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist… and eventually claimed he was never a Hoxhaist as Hoxhaism “does not exist”) […]
I’ve never come across anyone who calls themselves a “Stalinist.” Maybe that’s what some horseshoe theorists call Marxist-Leninists.
The problem isn’t that we’re shooting centimillionaire celebrities and billionaires into space, the problem is re-entry.
