Harris made an ad about it and her billionaire donors told her to knock it off. I'm barely exaggerating

At the very least, that's how Trump imagines the situation

I would argue that libertarian communism is the end goal. We want to eliminate the state in the long run, after all. But the worker's state and the vanguard party are materially necessary in the (very literal) revolutionary war against capitalism

Yes but he had already done a lot of damage. His ideas were even a contributing factor to the famine in China, if any communist is a "mass murderer" it's that quack

rewild white people

That's a great way to put it

we can see through them just [how] much the goverments views white supremacy as a core pillar of American life.

What do you mean by this?

That's what's so "exciting" about the present moment. With Trump valuing blind loyalty above all else with his cabinet appointments, will he actually be able to make the bourgeois state dominant over individual bourgois interests? That is the ultimate goal of fascism, after all. They will elevate the dominance of the ruling class systemically, by overriding capital's preferred methods of state control.

Rome maintained a centralized state over a very long period of time, in a fairly compact region (the Mediterranean and western Europe). The Mongols covered a lot of different, far-flung cultures that almost immediately went their separate ways after Genghis Khan's death. Their influence is more comparable to Alexander the Great's empire, where it briefly had incredible influence across the world but then each region developed separately.

This is the closest we have

I believe you mean the enhanced community fun time facilities

You can take some of mine comrade. We will see many flowers cut down but no one can stop the spring

It was a lot of people, don't pretend it wasn't genuinely multiracial. Had better organizing been in place it might have had revolutionary potential

Thankfully I don't tolerate capitalism

I've been thinking the exact same thing, almost down to the year

I forgot how fucking entertaining Trump was as president. Horrible fascist policies, of course, but it makes for great TV

They started saying this in 2018, two years later we got the George Floyd protests. The Democratic party had to work HARD to coopt the surge left. And now people have even less faith in the Democratic party, and our organizational capacity is better (still small, but better)

Maybe I'm just too young but I've never seen the word "gossip" as gendered? Men definitely gossip

Naomi Klein is a good middle point, try the shock doctrine or this changes everything

It's not "controlled" so much as both parties represent different factions of the same class interests
