Those won’t require id

Yeah, I remember a while back I introduced a friend to some simple basic facts about capitalism and it just made him really sad to the point of passivity and not wanting to learn any more. I guess my approach was wrong at the time. I have more success now, but I’m not sure what I do differently. Maybe contradictions have just increased.

You could write a whole article about this. I’d read it. I’m mean, you basically did. Maybe with some statistics added in about more commodity export than capital export and about how countries benefitted from trade with China and about how China is mostly a victim of and not benefiting from unequal exchange.

The slogan “oppose all equally” may sound revolutionary in its refusal to compromise, but detached from dialectical and historical materialism it collapses into abstract moralism that objectively serves the very hegemony it claims to reject.

Yes! Say it louder for the people in the back. Even some well meaning western marxists really struggle with this, because it touches on their privilege.

Don’t judge

Thank you :)

Wow! It really works:

• Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still.
• Of all our human resources, the most precious is the desire to improve.
• The best way to get rid of an enemy is to make a friend.
• He who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at.
• Success lies in the hands of those who wants it.
• Patience is your alley at the moment. Don’t worry!
• It takes less time to do a thing right than it does to explain why you did it wrong.
• I am worth a fortune.
• Do not mistake temptation for opportunity.
• Don’t pursue happiness – create it.
• I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
• It’s amazing how much good you can do if you don’t care who gets the credit.
• Happiness isn’t an outside job, it’s an inside job.
• Enter unknown territory.
• He who expects no gratitude shall never be disappointed.

The post says “anyone saying that you shouldn’t call a Nazi to those who disagree with you means they are by extension Nazis”

No it doesn’t say that. Maybe you’re not overthinking it enough. I’ll walk through the proof referring to the numbering in the post. The post is saying: "anyone is probably a Nazi(3), who’s saying that you shouldn’t call everyone you disagree with a Nazi(2), if they are saying it in the following special context: they are saying it, even though you didn’t do that at all! Not even remotely. You simply made an obvious statement about real genuine actual Nazis in general being bad(1), but they somehow took offence to what should be the most uncontroversial statement ever(1) and came out and created a strawman to attack you for something you didn’t do(2). Simply because they don’t like the one thing they know about you: that you don’t like Nazis(1). Now why might that be? Well probably because they are a Nazi(3). qed

Now what? Depends

Don’t call everyone you disagree with Hitler, simply because they are named Adolf Hitler and were the leader of the German “Third Reich”, committed genocide and started a world war. So quick with the name calling, really /s (calling things by their true name, that is)

That’s a very mindful observation, thanks!

I don’t remember where I got it, but I found a HQ PDF for you.

Do you agree, that actual, genuine Nazis exist in the real world today? That they are more than ghosts from the past? Yes? Well, it’s those actual, real existing, Nazis that this post is about. Who else but other Nazis would defend them?

Yes, that can be tactically advantageous, depending on your circumstances. Just leave it at that. Don’t pour all your energy in electoralism, campaigning and following news around those.

The US moved 7000 of them to a “secure facility” in Iraq after the Kurdish SDF retreated last month. I read the theory, that the fighters will be used against Iran. Who knows what’ll happen to the families.

Yes, obviously it’s not only okay, but such groups are very necessary and should be publicly funded and protected. However almost solely in the specific case of excluding cis men. For as long as patriarchy exists, safe spaces and protection from the structural and individual male violence are needed. They’ll naturally drop away as they become unnecessary, if capitalism, which fuels patriarchy, is permanently defeated.

Advanced enough dialectics is indistinguishable from a curse and a blessing.

Yes! It’s so annoying! Saying “USians” sounds weird, but it’s the USians own fault for having a stupidly named country on stolen land.
