Alex Karp wiki
Fun fact: Karp studied under Jürgen Habermas. Habermas himself is famous for defanging the critical potential of the Frankfurt School, calling radical leftists fascists and being basically the state philosopher of the EU. I feel like there's a connection to be made here
"Immigration? Well that's a very complex issue, but I fall down on the side of maintaining the outrageous security state that directly increases human suffering all based on whether or not you were born on the correct side of an imaginary line. But that's because I'm a socialist - I like it when the government does stuff, and the more they do the more I like it."
"...What do you mean 'face the wall'? Guys, I'm a socialist! I voted for Hillary! I even bragged privately that I spurned an invitation from the Evil Cheeto! You guys, hold on..."
Most progressive policies, while they don't constitute socialism in their own, are still steps towards it. The rest are just good regardless.
All socialists should support authoritarian immigration policies and Imperialist military intervention because socialism is when the government does stuff.
No subtlety. You know exactly what that company does based on its name alone. The Palantir in Lord of the Rings were artifacts basically used to scry (and communicate).
Plenty of socialists are pro-imperialism and national chauvinists. The entire split of the communists from socialists organizations and the formation of the Comintern was premised on this. Read about the history of socialist parties after 1917 and you see they are rife with nothing but bourgeois progressivism if not outright reaction. It was only in the late 1930s and 1940s that the two began to reconcile due to the threat of fascism and in many places it was a mistake to maintain that relationship after World War Two because the socialists happily sold out the communists when given the opportunity. The names only remain conflated because of anti-communism and a failure of leftists to grapple with this history.
