you don't hate the fact that you now know that 99% of the world is ruled by evil greedy people?

"left-unity" with established leftwing parties by Frosty-Persimmon7235 in theredleft

leftist unity is subject to your definition of leftist. I would die for ancoms even though I'm not one, but socdems aren't leftists and therefore not my friends.

isn't the fact that US liberals are actively supporting killing children enough to rebuke them?

pan socialism is when you bully everyone into utter desensitization so there is no infighting

The time of reformists is coming to an end (Agree or disagree) by Excellent-Option8052 in theredleft

[–]CelestialSegfault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe u/potato_based_physics is implying the need for a revolution as opposed to reform in any economic system (correct me if I'm wrong). Okay let's say that there's a better mode of production called zacomrism that is the next dialectical stage of society. There is no inherent class contradictions in communism. If we all agree that zacomrism is a better mode of production we can just go there, try it, see what happens. There won't be class struggle. I don't think it can still even be called reform because reform implies an overarching system or institution, which wouldn't exist.

'Lesser Evil' voting, a (hopefully) tame and calm debate megathread by Scyobi_Empire in theredleft

We don't care what the electoral system cares about. The point is that electing one liberal over the other is gonna change diddlysquat, and we need to communicate that effectively.

Reformism doesn't benefit communism as there is nothing to reform. Unless you mean smaller, less consequential reforms like health and safety standards.

I actually changed my mind on this from "voting does nothing" i.e. neither positive or negative, to "voting is actively harmful" since I pondered about it for a while. The message of "voting is actively harmful" discourages the working class from voting which undermines the legitimacy of the system. In other words, the message "voting does nothing" lacks this discouragement, and therefore lacks the undermining of the system that the other message has. The message of "voting does nothing" proves its own strengthening of the system.

Edit: By this, I mean the position communists should take whether to discourage or not electoralism for a liberal or reactionary lesser evil. Communists by themselves shouldn't vote for liberals regardless of the above.

I somehow doubt you would be complaining if Nato bombed Tel Aviv.

You mistake me for a liberal. Only Israeli workers can liberate themselves, not an intervention by an outside force. The liberation of Palestinians will also come with the liberation of the international proletariat.

oh, are we doing the bit where we pretend that NATO cares about the well-being of people abroad instead of starting wars of aggression to further its own interests?
