      It's all feeble performative flailing.

      The closest shit we've seen to open insurrection in the last decade has been what? CHAZ in Seattle and the Jan 6th riot? The biggest criticisms lobbed at both amounted to "You're just a bunch of clout chasing dorks and internet obsessed weirdos". It all collapsed as soon as a few extra cops showed up.

      Who gives a shit if conservatives wiped up a Facebook group to downvote a YouTube video? How the hell does increasing engagement on social media amount to fucking anything? Its the epitome of slackivism.

    Yeah I'm surprised they even teach sharing to kids anymore. We all know sharing and cooperation are communism, they should teach preschoolers how to shoot and defend their property, their opium farm. :ancap-good:

    I wonder what it's like to be so utterly privileged that this is the injustice that gets your attention.

    Big bird is the vanguard party.

    The others represent the masses and the other classes.

    It all makes sense now.


    Being serious here though, communists should own it. "Yes." should be the response. It is a great opportunity to normalise communism as just something rather nice. Liberals will want to make it into an absurd joke, that it couldn't possibly be true, we shouldn't let them do that as they imply that Communism ISN'T all the things that are in Sesame Street when they do it.

      I, for one, encourage Chuds and Cons to continue repeating that good or necessary things are communism, actually. Most likely will have a negative side-effect like with Bernie's "Socialism is when government does stuff" but will at least ward off stigma and get more people interested.

      Only in communist society, when the resistance of the capitalists have disappeared, when there are no classes (i.e., when there is no distinction between the members of society as regards their relation to the social means of production), only then "the state... ceases to exist", and "it becomes possible to speak of freedom". Only then will a truly complete democracy become possible and be realized, a democracy without any exceptions whatever. And only then will democracy begin to wither away, owing to the simple fact that, freed from capitalist slavery, from the untold horrors, savagery, absurdities, and infamies of capitalist exploitation, people will gradually become accustomed to observing the elementary rules of social intercourse that have been known for centuries and repeated for thousands of years in all copy-book maxims. They will become accustomed to observing them without force, without coercion, without subordination, without the special apparatus for coercion called the state.

    It's so weird that during my lifetime we reached the point where a significant number of people turned against teaching kids to share and to have good teamwork.

      I'm old enough to remember Jerry Falwell going on a rant against The Gay Teletubby. And Newt Gingrich's crusade to defund PBS, because it was run by leftists. And the age-old conspiracy theories about everything from Disney to D&D being a Satanic Plot to End Christianity.

      This is depressingly normal American behavior.
