Chairman Daou is planning a revolution. Biden is ahead enough to get 270 if the remain vote isn't for Trump he'll increase his margin by small amounts. But where did that bring you? :back-to-me:

It should be over soon.

If election day's got you in an emergency, you can find hotlines here


The 🇱🇷 2020 🇱🇷 American 🇱🇷 Presidential 🇱🇷 Elections 🇱🇷 are the single most important political event since The Last Fascist was VOTED 🔫 OUT 🔫. We on the admin team see it as our duty to enforce the views of our audience by any parasocial means necessary.

As a nacho-socialist cabal, we see no path to revolution other than by focusing the majority of our leisure time on consuming bougie media. Media that is obsessed with the details of an election we decided our preferences on months ago, if not years ago. Here's the bottom line: Voting makes you a good person and not voting makes you a bad one. Don't believe us? Just ask Lenin:

A democratic republic is the best possible political shell for capitalism, and, therefore, once capital has gained possession of this very best shell (through the Palchinskys, Chernovs, Tseretelis and Co.), it establishes its power so securely, so firmly, that no change of persons, institutions or parties in the bourgeois-democratic republic can shake it.

We must also note that Engels is most explicit in calling universal suffrage as well an instrument of bourgeois rule. Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you. Universal suffrage, he says, obviously taking account of the long experience of German Social-Democracy, is "the gauge of the maturity of the working class. It cannot and never will be anything more in the present-day state."

See? We can't let capital take control of this "very best shell"! Turtles belong to the people! And the way we do that is by voting for posts.

    So today in my archeology of ancient civilizations class we learned about the Indus Valley civilization, which was pretty interesting. Towards the end of class we watched a video about Mahendro-Daro which was one of the main cities and it talked about how there is little evidence of a ruling class such as ostentatious palaces, etc; and how there is some sort of assembly hall type structure and a large, presumably communal granary in the city.

    But instead of suggesting that Indus Valley civilization could have been some sort of communalistic democracy, which I think is a reasonable interpretation based on the evidence, the presenter kept talking about how it was some sort of big mystery because Mahendro-Daro was well organized and had big walls made from fired brick so it had to have had a ruling class.

    To me it seems like Mahendro-Daro could disprove the archeological theory that social stratification is necessary to organize large building projects, but I guess ideology is too powerful a drug even in archeology which is heavily influenced by Marx.

      Lots of Proto-Cities like ancient Jericho didn't have a ruling class. In fact, thats pretty much the only distinction between ancient proper cities and this other category of "proto-city."

        I still stand that humanity's default social state is some sort of communism and everything since then has been warping and twisting us in horrible ways.

          Yeah absolutely, this is in the bread book as an argument for Anarcho-Communism when confronted with "but capitalism/feudalism is the natural default state!"

      It’s ideology so blinding that you make up every bullshit excuse to ignore what’s in front of them. Same with women warriors, transgender persons in a different attire from what's indicated by their bones, women lovers identified as “friends” by historians. It sucks so much ass.
