I’m Leftists Who Need To Touch Grass

Why hasn’t anarchism been done already (on a large scale)? “It would have, but the tankies keep subverting revolutions and doing states, and they give a bad name to leftists which turns people away from anarchism,” is a pretty convenient answer to that. Plus, by distancing themselves from us and from past revolutions, they can try to pass themselves off as “one of the good ones” while preserving an image of how they want things to be without having to defend any messiness of actually getting there. It’s much simpler to write off projects entirely as not being genuine attempts because the bad people took charge than to actually study them and confront the complex problems they faced.

Damn, saw right through me

All I can say about 2028 is that I look forward to telling libs, “Election? What election? Trump ended democracy forever, remember? There aren’t elections anymore” when they inevitably tell me I have to vote the lesser Hitler.

Are you going to do communism now? As a Hater and Loser, I cannot express how incredibly owned I would be if you did and it turned out the MAGA communists were actually right all along.

Write-in votes tend to be processed slower, I assume. My county has 95% reporting with zero write-ins, but I know it has at least one.

When you run on the status quo, and the status quo sucks, people are gonna turn to whoever manages to present themselves as an alternative.

When you run to the right on stuff like immigration and the military, and the people who like right-wing policies already have a party waiting on them hand-and-foot, they’re not gonna switch over to you, and you’re just going to alienate the parts of your base/coalition that are affected by those policies.

People are gonna blame the left or say it’s because she’s a woman of color. But Tammy Baldwin, a queer woman, looks set to win Wisconsin, and Elissa Slotkin is ahead by a hair in Michigan, so that narrative is dead in the water.

Don’t blame me, I d for Kodos

That podium’s name? Democracy.

I was sitting on my couch when I saw a guy on TV steal a podium. It was the most traumatic experience of my entire life

You actually can believe exactly that.

Should we participate in bourgeois parliaments? (V.I. Lenin)

Parliamentarianism is of course “politically obsolete” to the Communists in Germany; but—and that is the whole point—we must not regard what is obsolete to us as something obsolete to a class, to the masses. Here again we find that the “Lefts” do not know how to reason, do not know how to act as the party of a class, as the party of the masses. You must not sink to the level of the masses, to the level of the backward strata of the class. That is incontestable. You must tell them the bitter truth. You are in duty bound to call their bourgeois-democratic and parliamentary prejudices what they are—prejudices. But at the same time you must soberly follow the actual state of the class-consciousness and preparedness of the entire class (not only of its communist vanguard), and of all the working people (not only of their advanced elements).

Even if only a fairly large minority of the industrial workers, and not “millions” and “legions”, follow the lead of the Catholic clergy—and a similar minority of rural workers follow the landowners and kulaks (Grossbauern)—it undoubtedly signifies that parliamentarianism in Germany has not yet politically outlived itself, that participation in parliamentary elections and in the struggle on the parliamentary rostrum is obligatory on the party of the revolutionary proletariat specifically for the purpose of educating the backward strata of its own class, and for the purpose of awakening and enlightening the undeveloped, downtrodden and ignorant rural masses. Whilst you lack the strength to do away with bourgeois parliaments and every other type of reactionary institution, you must work within them because it is there that you will still find workers who are duped by the priests and stultified by the conditions of rural life; otherwise you risk turning into nothing but windbags. [Emphasis added]

Lenin’s view was that bourgeois elections were not an effective vehicle for affecting change, but that communists should still participate in them so long as the people are putting faith in them and paying attention to them. People care about the horse race, so we should have a clear position on the horse race in order to advocate for socialist policies in the broad cultural conversation, but that doesn’t mean we should expect the race itself to actually produce results.

Our hearts go out to the people of Palestine. It pains us deeply to say this, but while we would never endorse Harris, everyone must vote for her to stop Trump, only because he presents a unique, existential threat. Rest assured we will be working tirelessly night and day to pressure her to stop the genocide in Gaza, but the only hope of the situation improving is if we get someone marginally more sympathetic into office first.

…Did the leftists leave yet?

WOO KAMALA!!! U-S-A U-S-A U-S-A!!! WE LOVE YOU!!! DICK CHENEY DID NOTHING WRONG!!!

It’s a CIA honeypot where the goal is to trick FBI agents into thinking its an FBI honeypot.

You’re using a dataset of three.

Antisemitic hate speech (someone said BDS is good)

That was my alt actually

American Karl Marx (cw: meat):

According to our assumption the burger has double the value of fries. This, however, is only a quantitative difference, which is not yet of immediate interest to us. We recall, therefore, that if the value of a burger is twice as great as that of 10 fries, then 20 fries have the same amount of value as a burger. As values, a burger and fries are things of equal substance, objective expressions of similar labour. But cooking and serving are qualitatively different kinds of labour. Conditions of society, however, are found, wherein the very same person alternately cooks and serves; and both these modes of labouring are therefore merely modifications of the labour of one and the same individual, and are not yet specific definite functions of different individuals: just as the burger which our cook makes today, and the chicken sandwich which he is to make tomorrow only presuppose variations of the same individual labour. Appearance itself teaches, moreover, that in our capitalistic society a given portion of human labour is adduced alternately in the form of cooking or in the form of serving on each occasion in accordance with the shifting direction of the demand for labour. This changing of form which labour endures may occur not without friction – but it must occur. If one disregards the determinacy of productive activity and therefore disregards the useful character of labour, it remains true about it that it is an expenditure of human labour power. The labour of a cook and serving, although they are qualitatively different productive activities, are both productive expenditure of human brain, muscle, nerve, hand, etc., and are both in this sense human labour. They are merely two different forms of expending human labour power.

I sent them the wikipedia for tianamen square and they told me wikipedia wasn’t an acceptable source!

The real play here is to scroll down to the bottom and see how many sources are cited in the article, and then say, “I provided 90 sources that prove I’m right and they still deny it!”

Get this - one of them asked me to provide sources for my claims. As if that wasn’t bad enough, when I googled and posted the first four links I saw without reading them, they actually clicked on the links and went through each of them point-by-point and explained how none of them provide credible support my position.

At that point it was clear that it wasn’t possible to have any sort of reasonable conversation with them, so I just did the usual and called them a bot, then made a thread where I made up a story about them defending Pol Pot and said they were worse than fascists.
