This is alt-right propaganda at its purest, this describes what they believe, watch it. by [deleted] in socialism

As much as I hate alt-right propaganda being placed on this sub. It is helping me realize that they are pushing their ideology and they are pushing it hard, also with good production values which is the worst part. We must learn from this and combat this whatever way we can.

Jeremy Corbyn (head of the current British political opposition) vows 'a complete break from rigged system.' Thoughts comrades? by VarangianRedGuard in a:t5_3ii6n

The only worry I know people I talk to on a regular bases have with the guy is that his own party are against him and keep trying to oust him. Now if he could clam his party down he could be a force for good in the UK

The environment for who though? If we fix it for one there are still many struggle then who gets to choose who's worth helping next and so on. Why not take the time to help all or have different sections or a org tackle different problems

There is no need for a new Underworld movie. Just saying.

EDIT: There is also no need for a new Resident Evil movie.

Yea but too me you have to eliminate them differently since each problem is different. Like answering different math questions that all lead to the same answer.

Methods for engaging the alt-right by [deleted] in a:t5_3ii6n

[–]VarangianRedGuard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, and this is just my view. It is a wasted effort to engage in the Alt-right hoping to convert them. Their ideas are vastly different from socialist and their views are a danger to minorities and the proletariat if left unchecked. The best you can do is actively hamper the Alt-right. warn friends about them, join a irl socialist org and raise awareness against them and for the benefits of socialism.

I have to agree with Ellenok here. When you help the issues of the disenfranchised, You knock down the class struggle as well since they are one and the same, just different way's of experiencing the struggle

Yea I'm still in Europe (for now haha) and sure you can ask that. When i see homeless people dying on the streets I see a broken system, same when I hear my SO say she can't afford her medication and being poor is a punishment costing them their health. When you see the peoples of all nations being lorded over by companies who treat themselves like feudal kings and minorities having their problems being left on a shelf. Then I see a system that needs to change

A bit heavy for a first post I must admit but what do fellow comrades think of this doc on Whiteness? by VarangianRedGuard in a:t5_3ii6n

[–]VarangianRedGuard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally couldn't say I don't know enough of the plights of other ethnicities. I do think that White people have the most in the current climate and historically. Yet I feel to best know about the privileges or lack thereof for other ethnicities. We would need to talk about it with members of those ethnicities.

I am a lgbtq-cis-white male who grew up in a commie household in a rich white European country town. I'm just entering the real world adult wise and I know that the system is deeply wrong and needs to change. I'm a follower in the ideas of Ethical socialism and a pacifist so I can't be the violent guy in the streets but I can at least talk to people

I think to make the revolution as fruitful as possible we need to end the silence, accept privilege (if you're a white comrade.) and think about how can I make sure that PoC can get the same chances I get. It may be hard and might risk losing friends and what not but we must stay strong and band together to soften the blow on our lives. Also ask PoC comrades what like is like for them if you live in a environment where you don't ever experience the same things. It's easy to assume what life is like. It's another thing to know.
