There won’t be a moment where the “abolish capitalism and the state” button is pressed. That’s not how these things works. They are intractable society wide slow changes like a glacier that move slow but cannot be stopped. Was there a moment where feudal kings pressed the “abolish feudalism” button and the rich became the new rulers? No, it was a hundreds year long process of lurching progress
If you watched the history of geopolitical struggles throughout the last century you would be aware that DPRK has struggled on the correct and just side each and every time. They fought and provided support for countless wars of liberation and decolonization, from Africa to South America. Every single time they have been vindicated by history. They helped defeat Rhodesia and South Africa and are helping to resist against Israel.
So why is that they are on the correct side every time but you are on the fence and call them evil?
Explain how America has a larger prison population per capita & a higher police murder rate than DPRK. If they have a metaphorical gun to their back, what do we have?
no, no no they mean the modern definition of tankie: Someone left of Kamala Harris (everyone knows she's as left as it gets before you horseshoe theory around and become red fash)
You are sitting on lemmy complaining about lemmy devs being tankies so you won’t donate to them but you want them to succeed but you hate them but you love them
If you support Ukraine you should support their immediate surrender because they have lost and you dragging this out is just killing thousands of them for no reason and making their situation worse by the day.
Your entire logic is "lesser of 2 evils" right?
The two choices with Ukraine is to keep pushing military support until their country collapses and hundreds of thousands more soldiers die, or surrender and take a deal where they disarm and stay neutral.
GOP are better on Ukraine than the Democrats are, at least admitting the reality of the situation - that it was a proxy war they lost and they now need to extract themselves from it. Democrats are still in kookoo land on this subject.
So if we're calling both American ruling parties support for a genocidal ethnostate a wash, since they both do it equally, and arbitrarily picking other topics instead why don't we use this criteria to argue the GOP are the "harm reduction" candidates since they won't zealously lead us into WW3 and nuclear war?
(I am not advocating voting for the GOP, just using an example to show you the flaw in your logic here)
You've basically already accepted defeat. You're admitting that the DNC will keep moving to the right regardless of our actions, and also that we have no alternative than to vote for them anyway. Have you game theoried that out to see where that ends? That's why I call it a dead-end.
Seems way harder than what i want to do which is use dems to crush gop then beytray DNC.
You don't use the Dems, they use you. The capitalists who own the party have complete control over it, it's a private corporation. You have absolutely 0 chances of taking it over or using it to your ends.
Also have you seen the Democrats dawg? They have like 20% approval rating, they are the most hated "brand" in the entire country. In what way do you think they could ever "crush the GOP"? It's laughable.
How is the increasingly fascist state for them? This shit is so bad faith it reeks. I know so many disabled comrades that would laugh this shit out the door
Wrong. Aligning yourselves with the "lesser evil" makes you evil as well and compromises your entire project. When you work with the billionaires you don't have the wheel. You will do their bidding and be smeared for their actions. The only way to defeat the two party system is to attack both parties simultaneously, otherwise you are only reifying it by participating in the back-and-forth stalemate
