    a communist family member start randomly spouting about how Ukrainians do have Nazis, that even with Zelenskyy being Jewish he was a Nazi, that Ukrainians WANT to be a part of Russia...

    Ukraine does have nazis though? Look at the pictures they put out and look up any of those funny runes. Association of German National Jews Why do they act like minorities can't be fascists? There's plenty of notable ones in the republican party. Its not some obscure thing.

    Can somebody who is not banned on r/latestagecapitalism post this over there, because those idiots seem bound and determined to get someone who is actively out to harm the country for personal gain elected

    r/LateStageCapitalism is a Russian or CCP ran sub where the whole point is to get people so depressed they disengage from American politics.

    Jesus that sub is worse than some right wing ones. I consider myself around center left but that sub is insane, it seriously is just making people sad because it controls people.

    It sucks because i agree that late stage capitalism is bad, but i didn’t know that late stage capitalism was an actual anti capitalist communist theory that eventually capitalism will always lead to the form that we see it, regardless of social safety nets. I dont hate capitalism i just have a lot of criticisms of how some parts of capitalism affect our society, but thats not allowed in that sub

    The idea is that capitalism inherently results in monopolies, duopolies, or oligopolies, and eventually the system continues to try to increase profit until the workers who make the products cannot buy the products, and the system consumes itself.

    Maybe absent a regulatory system

    There is no such thing as “late stage capitalism”. It is a failed Marxist prophecy.

    Why would anyone with respect for themselves go onto an populist leftist sub like that?

    I miss the pre internet left wing populism in America. It was about human rights, the environment, ending poverty and legalization of weed.

    There is way too much here to comment on. This particular thread goes on too. All deeply unserious people (well that one guy explaining late stage capitalism might be okay).

      Pre internet left wing America was the Black Panthers and the feds shut them down.

        I miss when left wing populism was ineffective liberal awareness-raising graciously accepted by all because it could not meaningfully change anything

          They want 2 Occupy 2 Wall St, not solidarity with AES. But in their minds they're the radical left. 白左 gonna 白左
