A @CBSNews poll found that 49 percent of men approve of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade and 51 percent disapprove of overturning it. By comparison, 33 percent of women approve and 67 per cent disapprove. https://t.co/r5bZ8NxCym— Eric Michael Garcia (@EricMGarcia) June 26, 2022
The point of Communism is not moral dictation, it is the abolition of class conflict.
Yes, and this is important, but if we don't also, at the same time, fight against white supremacy and patriarchy, then we'll find these ideas reproduced in our communist society. Because misogyny and racism don't just disappear, even in revolutionary populations. Cuba, for example, has had to work really hard to undo the damage that racism and patriarchy have done to their society, and Cuba is perhaps the most successful communist revolution I can think of. This work isn't done, of course, there's a lot of machismo and racism left in Cuba, but, unlike in America, these social issues are actively being worked on and the situation is improving.
I very much do not believe that America (or "the West" or whatever) has any moral standing to dictate anything to any other country anywhere in the world and further, even if we did have the moral standing, I don't believe it would work or be helpful. I'm actually a little offended that you would try to equate the revolutionary education a revolutionary populace will have to go through with liberals trying to "civilize" the Middle East. These are not the same thing and if you believe they are, I think it might be you who needs to do some more reading and thinking.
Also, really? You're telling me making fun of people for not liking flavorful food won't change anything? :surprised-pika: Who could have foreseen this?! I literally had no idea! I've been doing activism all wrong by chuckling to myself every time I see a white person complaining about spicy stuff! I'll never chuckle to myself about bland anglo food again, my bad.
(That last paragraph is a dig at you because I'm becoming annoyed. I think I'll log off for awhile. Have a good day.)
