Our Destiny? world domination Communism.
How do we get there? westward expansion Socialism.
Who do we need to kill? innocent indigenous people The bourgeoisie.
What should we use along the way? covered wagon trains High speed trains.
I mean really, compare John Gast's American Progress to Boris Kustodiev's The Bolshevik.
There's no need to worry about the ethical concerns of stealing culture from :amerikkka: . The only morally fraught part is the need to be vigilantly anti-racist in the appropriation by emphasizing that it's a newer, more enlightened Manifest Destiny.
this adds nothing constructive do not click
no really
you've been warned
what if it was for trans femmes and it was manifest breastiny
:kelly:
Idk about specifically force femmeing all the cissies, but certainly force transing them all in gender gulag.
Once reeducated they can reenter society with a(-)gender of their choosing
it would be easier to have bimbo hypno playing on loudspeakers at all times than to make a varied himbo hypno experience :thonk:
Maybe they have one useful ideological tool to use in the American context
Is manifest destiny at its core too utopian and ideological to be a good option for a useful, inclusive communism though?
Nerd, "too utopian and ideological" is already the popular American imagination of what communism is, might as well lean in on the aesthetic
edit: because needless to say, America has its own long history of having popular politics being dominated by "utopian and ideological" ambitions.
It's a good bit. But I wonder if associating it in practice with utopian vision rather than historical materialism and dialectical progress just reinforces the popular beliefs rather than changes it
I feel like China will keep being a good example in the future, the argument from practicality might not be that much of a battle if people know who the winner is already by looking at the tags on their belongings.
What's amazing is that despite American companies choosing to outsource production to China and choose the lowest cost cheapest fabrication methods - it is somehow still the country of China that is blamed for shoddy manufacturing and materials (whether it's true or not).
"what would socialism in the United States look like" tacky streetcars that are styled as covered wagons
The Nazis already appropriated the idea tbh, turned pretty ugly
Guys what if we appropriated the concept of Lebensraum???
No thanks
isn’t this some of the criticisms of western leftists going to rojava ? (I’m asking jokingly not critically)
Pretty sure that one falls under "individualist adventurism" (I'm answering critically not jokingly)
