Finally, some good food

Yes, that's implicit - you build something in order to use/live in it. The end I was talking about was referring to the end of the gradual transformation from capitalism to communism, it's not an instant process.

It is, pretty much every communist including ML's here fully accept and support the notion that communism at the end is going to be stateless, as the state itself would become unnecessary. The differences come from the means which this end would be achieved.

plot twist - they're gonna do a whole revolution just to go back to pre-trump liberal status quo with dems in charge + maybe some healthcare (dont count on it)

It literally is working, and ironically, many people nodding in agreement to this post are very likely to be affected as well without realizing.

Wonder what kind of narrative this is, been seeing it more and more from conservatives trying to paint Canadian government as terrible and authoritarian. Could it be an attempt at creating a casus belli for the US to invade Canada and turn them into 51st state?

Depends on context - if it's a yes/no question or something that can be replied to with a simple "great" or "okay", thumbs up serves as a "yes" or as a gesture that the person has read the message and doesn't have any problems with it.

It might be considered rude though for more complex discussions, where you need to respond in sentences

inb4 banks start to go bankrupt cause their gambling had gone too poorly and governments start bailing them out using workers tax money, like always

"if we all work together regardless of class" collaborationism is bourgeoisie propaganda and is not tolerated here, Comrade. Please face the wall.

Realistically, it's an impossibility. This view is mostly propagated via liberal news sources, having the main battle be conservatism vs progressivism or left vs right (as opposed to class struggle, the poor vs rich, working class vs capitalists), and since the democrats are more progressive than republicans, they're the "good guys" who should be supported.

For it to be destroyed, we'd have to catch up to their level of influence and reach or even surpass it, to show people that they're a party of capitalists who sometimes are progressive, and not an actual ally of the working or middle classes but only pretending to be one. Maybe going one step further too and influencing progressive movements democrats support to pay attention to economic aspects too, given how their root causes aren't purely social?

But again, it's impossible for us workers to have such reach, given how well funded media is.

Run's over, time to restart.

When you're below max combat level in Runescape

It goes against their interests to promote class consciousness, same applies to any electoral party (even those considering themselves on the left), not just the dems or liberal parties of Europe. Class consciousness develops outside the electoral system.

The revolution will be achieved with the support of good capitalists who say the good things as opposed to bad capitalists who say bad things

Reminds me of the student-led protests going on right now in Serbia, where students and the opposition party both have this mutual agreement of "we're both against the current regime and we both want good liberal things so we are aligned" but absolutely 0 cooperation, with the opposition sitting on the sidelines just occasionally cheering them on, with an expectation they'll get put in power because who else is it gonna be.

If this comparison isn't just a misinformed delusion, then get comfortable with the way things are right now USA.

Imma be real as an European, we kinda have the same problem here even with better voting systems. You either vote for "nothing ever happens" parties or literal Russia funded reactionary nazis.

My european mind can't comprehend making tea without an electric kettle, something that is very rarely used in the US

Replace with something else - back when I was actually addicted to soda, I realized how expensive it all was and replaced it with drinking tea.

Of course, might not be viable if you're an american.

There are some setups that allow you to do this.

• nixOS or nix + home-manager on some other distro, but it's a high skill-floor way to manage a computer so wouldn't recommend
• window manager heavy setup where you just set it up then copy over the config files to the new install, a bit of a pain to first customize but viable if you're willing to ditch mouse-heavy desktop experience in favor for keyboard and shortcut focus to control everything.

Apart from those two cases, not really.
