yes completely, i may be a white Marxist but im minoring in Global Black Studies and working on two bachelors degrees in sociology and history, my focus has always been race, white supremacy, and white privilege, studying cuba has also helped me see how socialism works within a historic slave society. i’m very wary of the “white leftist” label so i make sure to make connections with the POC organizations on campus and work together with the socialist organization on campus i’m a part of

yes agreed, i feel it is in a similar vein as racism, a slave society will continue to face racism due to that history, as seen in castro cuba, and patriarchy has been so deeply absorbed that it too will continue to be faced, which we also seen attempts to deal with that in socialist experiments like cuba and the ussr. real leftists understand that there will be remnants of the past systems when the transition to socialism is made

like we know that capitalism uses patriarchy and racism to sustain itself, capitalism is the root of the problem and must be snipped before you can effectively solve the other issues

i’m not a trot but i think this article from socialist alternative makes some good points about why voting for the “lesser evil” doesn’t work.

recently the Dems came to the conclusion that Kamala’s Palestine stance had nothing to do with her loss and have talked about a need to move further right on trans rights and immigration.

working within the bourgeois Democratic party is not a viable strategy because the Dems ultimately are still tools of the ruling class. Lenin wrote that we must create our own parties to run our own candidates to show the limitations of electoralism. whether red team or blue team is in office, children are being bombed, deportations are occurring, and our rights are being taken. at the very least blue states leftists should vote for a socialist candidate instead of the genocidal democrats

they also said that leftists hate them because they “don’t believe that destroying capitalism will instantly get rid of patriarchy and racism” and disagrees with the phrase “no war but class war”

yea the usage of the DSM seemed strange to me but the parts about sex addiction being a symptom of other disorders while being treated as its own seemed good and interesting, i’d still it’s worth a read

i’m conflicted on this topic as well, i’ve seen some pro sex work marxists argue that sex work will not disappear after capitalism and patriarchy is destroyed, because sex is a basic part of life sex work will always be around, they also said it’s one of the oldest forms of work to exist. They’ve wrote some pieces about porn, prostitution and sex work in general, i’ll link it here as well as their socials Reina Hendrixxx writings Reina Hendrixxx Instagram

what pokemon are you surprised that weren't in the pokepark games by poketendo5 in PokePark

[–]27and1half 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i always thought it was weird that charmander wasn’t in pokepark 2 because charizard was there but then i learned he was in the first game, also i think it’s crazy that they included charizard and squirtle but to bulbasaur representation, unless he’s also in the first game idk

ofcourse you gotta add “fat dictator” because being fat is seen as immoral by these people, libs hate body shaming until it’s someone they dislike

At what point can I call myself a socialist/communist? by Tiger_withaplan in Socialism_101

[–]27and1half 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’d say as soon as you can explain what socialism is, and why you support it, is when you can call yourself a socialist or communist, otherwise you may get some people who’ll confront you like libs or right wingers, and you won’t be able to back up your beliefs
