There are definitely a lot of true things about trot chapters just being a huge mess, but there are definitely trot orgs that do good work.
Also entryism is something done by every smaller socialist org, I know some orgs did entryism into our revolution in 2016, there's been some DSA stuff too. But the real power around entryism lies in getting your members to take over parts of mainstream local papers.
Why are you booing me? I'm right.
But really. Good work.
it'll just be the next iteration of the spectacle. the theater will have delivered on its promise and one upped itself yet again. this will break and radicalize many of them but many more will just be more enthralled by the ludicrous display.
corporate dems will NEVER allow universal healthcare if they can help it. By letting corps be the only ones giving healthcare as a benefit, they're letting corps better control the employment market.
They're basically cutting off competition from mom&pop operators, because mom and pops can't afford healthcare on their own.
Bold prediction: over the next 5 years we're gonna see video games, movies, and shows about "resistance fighters" fighting the CPC. Like, CIA Jim goes undercover with the Uighyurs to bomb a CPC installation or something. They'll definitely emphasize attacking the CPC specifically and not "the Chinese government" in general. Most probably won't directly say Xinjiang or the Uighyurs, but it will be pretty obvious to everyone.
there's a popular multiplayer only version of call of duty in china i think, they may resist a little bit more. Remember though that Battlefield already did war with china like 4 times now
battlefield 2 was the best one because it just focused on fighting and left lore to nerds and loading screens. The future one was literally about China and Russia going on a genocidal rampage because an ice age had made the east uninhabitable and they needed to steal as much land as possible before it was too late. (Coincidentally Africa just lets the Europeans recolonize the south)
I didnt actually know that about 2142, I kinda just assumed it was presented as an amoral struggle for survival. I guess that the behind-the-scenes lore made the EU as the 'good guys'?
I mean maybe but in doing so the game will probably either be banned in China or it wont sell very well and the publishers reputation there will be damaged, which is not something game publishers want to do in such a huge market.
The bourgeoisie's alligence is to capital above all else, even national interest.
Under communism, I will personally go door to door and confiscate everyone's car keys at gun point and exchange them for bus passes
Is a bus pass like you are breathing, get on? I really hope y’all don’t pay to get on public transportation. Unless they force you.
There’s not a city with good public transportation. They’re all trash because they invest the bare minimum into it.
The only city in my state with free public transportation is a ski resort lol
A ticketbook (10 per) for the trains is like $60
If you call yourself an anarcho-bidenist then both tankies and anarchists should be allowed to shoot you.
Even ancaps. It's that annoying.
Existential Comics is one of the best accounts on the bird site. They do yeoman’s work and are always funny and on point. I wish i could do that. And they’re still anonymous AFAIK?
Existential comics stan thread go!
I harbor no resentment to people who are going to vote for Biden this election, but if your answer to people who feel powerless in the face of what, for them, could very well be an inconsequential election is to call them selfish and saboteurs, you're no comrade. You're not even tackling this from the left.
Well the narcos forced the poor ignorant indians to vote that way obviously, also who needs Bolivia anyway Santa Cruz has a inalienable right to seceed and take as many poor communities with it as it can.
ted cruz returns triumphantly to his homeland, ushering in an age of peace* and prosperity* for the christmas-caliphate of bolivia. cruz, now always seen wearing his signature red suit, is an iconic figure of democratic success, after his new lithium export policies are declared an unrivaled economic success.
(*terms and conditions apply, not suitable for the indigenous)
It's a stretch for sure, but I can see the argument being that "Evo wants socialism but we've tried that and socialism no food so this is a case where people are voting for the wrong thing that will actually hurt them". Probably the neolibs will just give up and move on to Chile or something.
fucken hate that I get ignored in work meetings until a dude repeats what I'm saying. really want to throw my phone at the wall.
Interactive bezos wealth comparison scrolly thing
Interactive mass incarceration scrolly thing
More helpful to send to your lib friends and parents then to you all, but still neat/ crazy and depressing and truly maddening.
edit: easier on mobile
Wow! Thank you! Valuable resources. I’ll make sure to spread.
But you do know Bezos doesn’t actually have the much liquid wealth? If he were to take it all out of his stocks it would be worth $0... :agony-4horsemen:
This also puts in perspective how important our fight is. We are fighting to free people from the shackles of the most oppressive state ever. Do they have one for people we’ve killed and injured in war?
God that would be horrifying and useful. If you go to the main page there's a "200,000 killed by covid" representation that uses generated faces, seems like they could do something like that.
I can only do two in one night but I’ll check out the Covid one tomorrow. Really great resources. Everyone’s so online these days. It’s a useful perspective.
Definitely. I sent the Bezos ones to my parents so they could do it on their own phones and it actually left a mark.
That’s what I was thinking. Really puts my rage into perspective. It just keeps going and you want it so badly to stop, but nope here’s some more. Like how I feel every day.
Wow those are great tools for education. Fucking horrific stuff. Fire to the prisons!
just found out about TERF reddit alternative: https://ovarit.com
they even have few threads about us:

obligatory "click to die instantly"
lmao well that explains the actual terf shit during that struggle session.
I find it hilarious that we live rent free in their minds even after we are pushed onto our own site
Love getting scolded by the mods for the brigaders' posts
They must not think very hard. Looks like they also think radical feminism is liberalism... which, if you can label the philosophy that promotes systematic analysis as that that while upholding your choicey-empowerment individualist rhetoric as presumably the radical one... well then, I guess people don’t read books anymore.
TERFs are Maoist?????
Damn... That's pretty pathetic honestly. Genuinely deranged shit.
Lol apparently we’re hateful misogynists? The only things I hate are chuds and cops.
I can’t stress this enough. Jeffrey Toobin caught Toobin’ it on zoom is the funniest thing that has happened this year
