  • The sarcasm is in taking the common false argument against Marxism and directly showing how absurd that argument actually is by forcing it into a vignette for the viewer, ie a Marx that actually forgot human nature and suddenly realized it destroys his arguments and analysis. That absurd situation highlights the absurdity of the argument.








  • No, the best option is to organize directly and agitate against the system. This historically has protected marginalized groups far better, it’s how the Civil Rights movement passed. Simply “spreading the word” about socialism does absolutely nothing about the existing levers of power we can and cannot pull, we must do so in the context of broader organizing.





  • Netanyahu doesn’t have the actual power in the US-Israel relationship. Israel is thoroughly dependent on the US, while there’s some counter-influence the real seat of power is the US Empire. If Israel becomes more costly to support financially, such as the incredibly high shipping costs due to Yemen’s attacks on shipping, as well as an exodus of settlers to keep the project going, only then will Israel lose support and thus collapse.





  • The US Empire is the world’s worst country. It’s the biggest exporter of genocide and terror, and the world’s biggest plunderer. Harris would maintain that exact same brutal system, domestically and internationally. It’s not hard to be better than them. Yes, Harris would send people to CECOT without trial, every imperialist president has done acts like that.

    Chill out with the calling everyone to your left a child or a Russian bot, etc. It’s the peak of liberalism.

    I’m not ignoring everything except one aspect, though. Both are genocidal, and both serve the interests of the US Empire above all-else, and as such they share far more in common than not. I’m not ignorant, and you can take your faux-superiority back. I’ve been here far longer than you have, telling me to go back to Reddit doesn’t make any sense. I’m a communist, the devs are communists, and a lot of communists are on Lemmy after various subreddits like r/GenZedong, r/TheDeprogram, and r/ChapoTrapHouse got banned. What I say fits in here.
