I'm not complaining; I'm simply making a statement of fact. Quite literally no resistance happened on June 14th.

I was more wondering where he got the money, but I guess you can spend campaign money on that stuff. That makes sense.

I was talking more about the whole fascist takeover thing. The current batch of oligarchs and dictators has to go before you can fix anything anywhere, and by the next election cycle American democracy will be dead. The timeline simply doesn't allow for an electoral solution.

Can you cut this shit out already? It's bad enough that you're using the suffering of living, breathing people to make a point, but if you have to then can you not at least make a point that's not tired, unproductive and fucking stupid?

we had the largest protest in U.S. history on June 14th, we aren't doing nothing

Nope. No Kings was the third largest in US history after Earth Day 1970 and BLM, and given that it was basically a weekend parade I'd say No Kings was nothing.

Wait, how does he have a security detail?

I won't dignify this slop with a response. Fucking tankies, man.

I can't find a way to phrase this that's not offensive, so I'll just go ahead: Are you being obtuse or do you just not know what you're talking about? Because if it's the latter you should at least take a scroll down this Wikipedia page before you talk about this stuff. However, I will say that sacrificing millions of people for holy communism (which is what happened; the famine was a choice) isn't much better than sacrificing them for holy property rights. Not asking for foreign aid and denying a famine even existed was also inexcusable.

After the October Revolution of 1917, homosexuality was decriminalised in Soviet Russia with the repeal of the legal code of the Russian Empire, and this decriminalisation was confirmed with new criminal codes in 1922 and 1926. Under Joseph Stalin, the Soviet government reversed course in the late 1920s and promoted harsher policy against LGBTQ rights. In 1933, homosexuality was recriminalised in the Soviet Union, and Article 121, which prohibited male homosexuality, was added to the Soviet penal code in the following year.

You don't get to blame this on the Nazis.

So first: You do realize there will likely be no free and fair elections until Trump is overthrown right? It's too late to solve this using elections because there will be no elections. You're in the equivalent of 1933 Germany after the Enabling Act, where the Act is substituted by the Republican majority in Congress and the lack of consequences for Trump doing whatever he wants.

Second and more relevantly, though: Revolutions aren't just "started;" they happen when political unrest reaches a boiling point and is given some kind of trigger. You see the protests in LA? That's building towards the revolution. A revolution can then turn violent due to violent backlash from the state, but either way it is literally impossible to "start" a revolution in the way you're talking about. I mean hell, the fall of the Bastille wasn't exactly planned; it just kind of happened. If a revolution does happen I'd put the start at the current LA protests, but I digress. The point is: To get a revolution, you don't necessarily need to grab a gun and shoot cops, but you do need to resist on the streets. Again LA is a good example of what I'm talking about, so what I'm calling for is, for starters, more of that in more parts of America. Organize among your community and in your workplace and please someone go on strike already.

PS: I'm not American, so internet forums are about as much as I can get in on the action.

Yeah... no. Very little in modern history is morally worse than Soviet management of the famine of 1930-1933 (which they caused, too). That shit was at least on par with the Irish Famine in terms of sheer moral depravity.

Ifkr? You'd think he was a political dissident at least with how hard they have it for him.

we love social security and freedom of expression, religion, movement and speech. Love and solidarity from Deutschland <3

For now.

Does anyone even go to North Korea? Is that like a thing?

And this was said about able-bodied parasites such as owners of the means of production, shareholders, landlords, and others living off society on non-labor income.

And Ukrainians, don't forget Ukrainians. I know enough about early Soviet history to know that Stalin was a cold-blooded murderer. Not that the rest of the Communist Party was full of upstanding global citizens, but Stalin was particularly egregious.

Uh... This is coming from the folks who said "he who does not work, neither shall he eat" during a famine so... uh... yeah, that's not the flex you think it is.

Edit: And in case anyone is wondering, this gets worse with context.

That is irrelevant to their point and such blatant deflection makes you look immature.

Not necessarily. NYC is left-leaning enough that Republicans are firmly in the minority, and also you have Cuomo, Adams and the Republican nominee splitting the asshole vote.

It sounds implausible at first glance but, like, this is literally just COINTELPRO.

Eh, why not let them dump their money into European economies?
