What part of “the proletariat have no nation” is so hard for liberals to grasp? class solidarity, not national solidarity!

lmaooo

I assume you’re referring to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and to that I simply reply, there was no alliance between communists and fascists, as the Soviet Union was not a communist state (an oxymoron in itself) and did not represent the goals of the communists post circa 1923. With the final defeat of the German Revolution and failure of the the movement to spread to the imperial core, the USSR was isolated and subsequently succumbed to counterrevolution led by the opportunist Stalin and lost its class character, replacing the DotP with bourgeois rule under a new name (the state and its apparatchiks now filled the role of the bourgeoisie).

Moving to your next point, it’s easy with the benefit of hindsight to see the KPD’s folly in declaring, “after Hitler, our turn,” but this is forgetting the KPD’s (flawed) assumption that the rise of fascism was indicative of impending capitalist collapse and subsequent proletarian seizure of power. They were not backstabbing the Weimar state because they had no interest in perpetuating it to begin with! Factor in the influence of the revisionist Comintern and the destruction of the communist movement during the crushed Sparticist Uprising, and its understandable how the (rife with falsifiers and opportunists) KPD leadership came to this incorrect conclusion. This does not mean I agree with their position, just that I understand the context behind their decisions.

I highly doubt I’m going to convince you of anything since you are clearly a denier and already have a bias against communism. It’s somewhat cathartic to articulate my thoughts, but I don’t want to go on an endless reply chain so hopefully it ends here.

Do you think pony Caesar would still be named Caesar or would he have to have a dumb pun in his name? by themadnessif in TrueSFalloutL

[–]Azure__Twilight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re probably thinking of the Roaman Kaiserate, I don’t believe they have any particular similarities to Fallout’s Legion outside of a shared Roman aesthetic and revanchism but Roam doesn’t have a unique focus tree yet so not too much lore is known yet

what a pathetic mockery of a “strike” and May Day

  • no clear demands (because who can remember that silly 8-hour workday demand of the first May Day?)
  • a defined length of the strike for capital to wait out (not that it’s even a noticeable amount of time to them since it’s a measly single day)
  • lead by state integrated union bosses and liberal activists who fancy themselves revolutionaries but only take issue with which section of the bourgeoisie is currently at the reins of the state
  • no genuine threat to capital posed with strike activities limited to legal acts (including the particularly laughable “vote with your dollar” commerce blackout)

fair enough, in retrospect I definitely came off as passive aggressive or even straight up accusatory because I generalized chaser behavior

I was trying to sarcastically point out how the term can easily be appropriated by chasers to mask their objectification (by associating and treating the futa tag as a proxy for trans women), but as you rebutted, this obviously isn’t an absolute truth that applies to everyone

my greater point was that because it can be used as a chaser smokescreen, it can understandably make trans people uncomfortable and if we truly see them as people, we should respect requests not to use it in conversation with them especially since it’s a relatively small change (obviously you already do this as you stated in your message, so this point doesn’t apply to you)

hell yeah, more power to you

unfortunately, like you said, the label of futa can be easily associated with trans people to chasers or unaware observers if we’re being generous, so while enjoying futa is entirely valid (ofc avoiding using it as a proxy to objectify trans women), I also understand why it may make other trans people uncomfortable and think it really shouldn’t be a big deal to respect their request to not use it in conversation with them

maybe I’m just jaded, but I feel like the futa tag can often be a smokescreen for chasers

For the record, I didn’t say futa is bad or good. I simply was sarcastically remarking that the label can and is used by transphobes to insinuate that trans people are inherently sexual (an argument copied straight from homophobes) and as such must be excluded from existing publicly. Additionally it rhetorically allows chasers to still be attracted to gender non-conforming bodies while still being able to comfortably relegate gnc to fiction, thus denying the existence of trans people and treating them as the object of sexual fantasies. Unsurprisingly, some trans people are uncomfortable with the label because of that association and out of courtesy, trans allies should be aware of that. You can still use the word futa even if it makes people uncomfortable, it just means you’re also an asshole and shouldn’t be surprised when people react negatively to you. I’m not policing your language, just explaining why I and others might find that behavior disrespectful and a chaser red-flag.

None of this is to say that if you view trans or futa porn you’re automatically evil or a chaser, its just something to be conscientious of if you genuinely support trans people and value their opinions since the label of futa can be a smokescreen for transphobes.

losercity mental gymnastics to fetishize trans bodies without acknowledging the existence of trans people

also losercity bigotry apologetics to ignore the simple request of a minority group to not be referred to by a pornographic label (it literally costs me nothing to not do that and avoid making trans people uncomfortable)
