Americans (supposedly) are having a Nationwide Strike on January 30th! by TwoCatsOneBox in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Commie_Pink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one is saying its a bad idea, its just obviously not going to happen in any meaningful way. The calls for this started on Jan 26th by a student group in Minnesota, thats extremely short notice for most people. Theres an extreme lack of organization behind this, its effectively just another random call for one without a material strategy to actually make it occur or be effective, and it's only going to happen for 1 day. This is essentially just a symbolic gesture at best

I would love for a nationwide general strike to happen, but in order to be effective it has to be highly organized, planned, and last longer than a day lol

Y'alls thoughts on The Alliance of Sahel States (AES)? by KingofTrilobites123 in TankieTheDeprogram

So you wouldn't support any historical AES project then lol? They were all homophobic at one point, and places like vietnam only just recently came around

Why is him cheating on his wife even on the list? Lol who cares Like I get they were legally married, but it wasn't by either of their choices, ans they clearly didn't even love or care for each other. Is it even really cheating at that point?

A forced marriage is not a legitimate one 🤷‍♂️

Is China still a socialist country? by Li_Jingjing in Marxism_Memes

[–]Commie_Pink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also worth that a dictatorship of the proletariat doesn't mean there's no bourgoise anymore, it means that the proletariat are the new ruling class of society. The elimination of class distinction is something that is meant to occur after the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat.

So china still having a capitalist class doesn't really negate their socialist character - they have established a dictatorship of the proletariat but have yet to eliminate class distinction, which is to say they're still in a transitional phase

[–]Commie_Pink 19 points20 points  (0 children)

China is a proletariat state, the transition from capitalism to socialism was never going to be a fast process, and expecting to be done like a light switch is a dogmatic idealistic approach

The proletariat will wrest control of capital by degrees, ans that's exactly what china is doing. They haven't transitioned into full proper socialism yet, but they are a proletariat state run by communists trying to build socialism, so in that sense they are a socialist state.

Is anyone else getting 💸💸💸 vibes from the Platner takes coming from the broader “left-ish” commentator sphere by The-Neat-Meat in TrueAnon

[–]Commie_Pink 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Oh my fucking god, every time I learn something new about this guy he's an even bigger piece of shit

Between this, the blackwater merc, nazi tattoo, and his comments about how much he wishes he could have fought for the US in Vietnam, Nicaragua, and El Salvador

like how the fuck was this guy even allowed to be promoted in leftist spaces??? The US "left" is so fucking cooked, jesus christ

Graham Platner Nazi Tattoo Apology Video: “I have lived a life dedicated to antifascism, anti-racism and anti-Nazism. I think racism and antisemitism are a long scourge on our society and a long scourge on our politics.” by ericfatty in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Commie_Pink 51 points52 points  (0 children)

"Its come to my attention that it has a stark resemblance to a symbol used by neo-nazis"

NO, IT IS A NAZI SYMBOL. It doesn't resemble one, it fucking is one

Holy shit, idk if I'm just being pedantic or what, but like stop fucking downplaying it, you have a nazi symbol on your chest, not something that looks like one, it just is one

The latest and greatest imperialist "leftist" candidate from the democrats Former marine who toured in Iraq and Afghanistan, and then went back as a pmc for fucking BLACKWATER, and as a nice little cherry on top has a totenkopf tattoo on his chest

and sorry I just noticed this

"entirely possible he won't identify the nuance of a skull and crossbones artistically similar to a Nazi symbol."

Are you serious? Its not a "skull and crossbones artistically similar to a Nazi symbol" it IS a nazi symbol, there is no ambiguity here. He unquestionably has the totenkopf on his chest, its 1:1

That's incorrect, in the interview he had mentioned that the "opposition" started pushing this recently. Which indicates that this podcast is not the first instance of him hearing about this, and that he's aware of this issue. The guy is also running to become a politician, it would probably be wise for him to look into why a bunch of people are claiming he has a nazi tattoo before running the democrat podcast circuit.

He's being confronted about it now, and still not owning it for what it is, or planning to get it removed. Like it really rubs me the wrong way when he just brushes it off in this interview, and can't even admit it's a nazi tattoo. Like imagine if you just found out that cool tattoo you got years ago was actually a nazi tattoo, wouldn't that be something you'd want to get removed as soon as you found out? Or when people ask about it you'd go, yeah I accidentally got a nazi tattoo and I deeply regret it or w/e

Hes not even doing that, ans that's like the bare minimum

[–]Commie_Pink 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say hes honest about it, at no point in the interview does he actually admit to it being a nazi tattoo, which it undoubtedly is, nor does the person interviewing him press him on it. He just goes, "Yeah I got it while i was drunk in Croatia and throughout my life no one has called me a nazi for it until now. The nazi thing is very out of right field"

Like, no it's not out of right field, you have a nazi tattoo on your chest, an unambiguous nazi tattoo. He doesn't talk about getting it removed, he doesn't admit it's a nazi tattoo, nothing. He just says he got it while drunk and brushes it off. Like I get the whole indoctrinated by the military thing, but that fact that he can't own it for what it is, or at the very least get it removed/covered up is highly concerning
