  • Christians with deicide myth đŸ€ Zionist Shabibo

    Using Jesus to justify bigotry

  • Burma and second Kazakhstan take big chunks out of it and India.

  • They're so good. The Deprogram is funny, but I agree revleft is better.

  • One issue I have with many leftist podcasts I’ve found is that they’re more like round-table talk shows than educative/entertainment.

    ? I’ve found shows like TurnLeftist and Trash Future rather informative and entertainment. The Deprogram which is not affiliated with hexbear is very educational, diving into different subjects each episode.

    I’ll check out the podcast you mention.

    If First Thought got big enough it could serve the purpose you mention.

  • Somehow this comment got to the wrong post.

  • That’s cool, we need more English speaking stuff like that.

  • That just sounds like using organizing to get friends (not a bad thing). Unless you mean the social club is to be around people to convince them more, and you intend to radicalize that group from the inside.

  • If you asked some random cracker they’d tell you Taiwan was an independent country too. Doesn’t make it true.

  • Israel = occupying state

    Palestine = country

  • Most people aren’t recent settlers who commit genocide on still existing people. It would be one thing if Palestinians or First Nations people were gone, but they aren’t, and they could still get their land back. Otherwise I don’t know what you’re pointing to. We oppose all settler-colonialism, not all exploration or bloodshed in the same way. We seek to dismantle the worst and least historically based regimes.

  • I probably just suck at walking

    Lol

    It might be either because you’re used to “normal” shoes and your feet weren’t ready for the change, concrete sucks, or there might have been some stretch that could’ve helped. Or you’re not great at walking.

  • The Nazis were Amerika 2, Israel is just the newer frontier of Amerika 1.

  • Comrades, what do you think of barefoot shoes? I was convinced for it a while ago by this video. Obviously not the biggest issue, but if you’ve got the money to spare it seems worth it, and in socialist society they’d hopefully be more accessible.

  • “[we] marxist Leninists
 Chinese like their government
 stupid tankies
 China worse than state capitalism.” Wtf

  • Every time anyone calls you out on anything

    There’s nothing to call him out on. All that you dronie losers say is “how dare you say a country that I don’t like is good with sources, you’re not allowed to do that!”

  • Does it matter that social networks already existed before Facebook? It that online resellers existed before Amazon?

    I don’t think so? They may not have been the first but they did outcompete other similar companies at the start.

    I suppose that might be the point, that industrial and financial capital are married together. But that’s not what’s invoked by saying that someone starts one way and becomes something else later.

    Amazon is a marriage of both in itself, I think.

    Yes, this quote uses the word ‘feudalism’ but taken in itself, this quote does not say to me that the author thinks that capitalism is regressing back towards feudalism-proper. It says to me that the author (Hudson?) thinks that imperialists are as decadent and dastardly as feudal lords. It’s a metaphor. The context may contradict that interpretation, of course, and the sentence itself could be read literally.

    I can’t answer all your questions, but it seems Day’s point is that feudalistic rents within capitalism are not particularly different than regular profits. The most important point is that Industrial capitalism is in no way better for average people than financialized capitalism, if there is such a distinction.

    Again, I’ve not recently (maybe at all) read the texts in question, which may use longer quotes, but quoting one sentence from Hudson without the surrounding text does not do what Lenin is talking about here.

    A very good point, I hope he will address Hudson’s main argument more directly in the full RS piece. I wonder why he didn’t quote commenters from here at length.

  • What can I say? Day's argument made me think of your comment. Are you still writing that blog post?

  • People tend to toss around the word “emo” when it’s far from applicable, but Jack Ma is it.
