Talking about it and actively engaging it aren't the same.
Already in there, some people are acting exactly like parasites, talking about the next gme to jump on, and how they have no sympathy for those who might be left holding the bag, or even who didn't/don't jump in because they don't want to risk their emergency funds.
Not everyone, but it's there, and like a cancer, it'll spread if it isn't excised.
You're not excited by the chance to participate communally in the biggest kick to the hedge-capitalists in recent history? While watching the contradictions intensify to an unheard of degreee? wtf.
I would happily buy 50 dollars of GME, if I had a fucking brokerage account, and hold it forever if it contributed to this kind of acceleration.
The class conciousness I've seen on reddit in the last few days is unprecedented imo.
lol, if we're talking about either /r/wsb or reddit as a whole, I've seen more takes about "secret government interference" and demands to "free the free market", than realizations that the system of capitalism itself is inherently rotten and irreformable.
Genuninely think you're wrong on this, although I have heard kinda lib takes linking the alt right or whatever to the whole thing ( jack allison on latest ep of struggle session)
I've been seeing massively upvoted posts/memes about class war, class conciousness.....about tearing the system down, not reforming it to make capitalism better. Plz don't ask me to find them.
The Masters Of The Universe types were venerated on WSB up until very recently. If you can't see massive opportunities here I don't know what to tell you.
I'm not seeing lib posters looking for modest reforms either, or looking for the system to go back to the former normal. The curtain has been pulled back for them.
you gotta see the positive side of libs appropriating your words - it means you're winning. it means that your ideas are popular enough that the only way for them to make sense of everything is to pay lip service. get ready for more lefties coming down the pipeline
i dont have any skin in his, but if something like this ever happens again i will. you can hardly begrudge people for trying to make a buck in this hellworld we live in. and im sorry i don't have any sympathy for people who go in this beyond their means. Even in the den of evil, WSB itself, every fifth person is telling you not to ruin your life gambling on the stock market.
You should, though, because who the fuck knows what's happening regarding further stimulus and many people are looking at looming debt and eviction on the horizon, so they're putting in the savings they have now in the hopes they'll pull out enough to weather the coming storm.
I mean, they shouldn't, and a socialist website shouldn't be engaging in it, but I totally understand why some people are playing with fire.
Communism is an economic system
Crazy economic things are happening
Communists want to talk about it
:surprised-pika:
Also, if you are going to retire you have to have some skin in the stock market.
Retiring on just SS is not a happy place. True leftists would want to help other leftists no matter the system they find themselves in.

Fash want to tear the system down too.
And libs love to appropriate radical terms when they really just mean modest reforms

I mostly see radlibs and protofash, but I'd like to be wrong, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Where is there good analysis on possible protofash influences on wsb? Bobert Bevans? He's probably got the connections lol

So you walk like a capitalist and talk like a capitalist, but call yourself a socialist.
Good to know.
