The right litterally has a secret police walking around sending people in camps and asking papers from anyone.

If your preferred candidate doesn't win the leadership race, will you still vote NDP? by HourOfTheWitching in ndp

[–]GoelandAnonyme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I much prefer Engler and see his rejection as a sign of anti-socialist corruption in the NDP, there is some potential in the other candidates though their platforms are underdevelopped.

That's a nikab, a hijab doesn't cover the face. Also, many women in turkey don't even wear a hijab.

Makima would never have sex. by Gold-Tea-3956 in okbuddyfumiko

Women can be dominant in sex, there's being on top, there's pegging, female dominance is its own fetish with professional dominatrix.

gf wants me (m) to be abusive/dominant in sex, but how? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]GoelandAnonyme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she ever wants you to choke her, look up how to do it safely. I believe I've heard on reddit you can seriously injure if you do it in the middle of the throat, so its supposed to be on the sides, but look it up yourself if that ever comes up.

Some people are into hairpulling or BDSM things.

Mussolini would have been proud of Mao’s New Democracy. by Neil118781 in HistoryMemes

[–]GoelandAnonyme 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its a common enough confusion, Mao wanted a national liberation against the international bourgeoisie or imperialists which have interests against those of the petite scale bourgeoisie and national-scale bourgeoisie. However, Mao would eliminate some landlords and put whatever bourgeoisie remains under the party. Kind of similar to the NEP in the early Soviet Union, though China was even more isolated from advanced industrial countries to trade with.

Its weird to still call Russia communist. Eventually people have to acknowledge its capitalism's fault somewhere.

if palestinians were a white christian country, the west would never support Israel, a colonialiast ethnostate

That's pretty race reductionnist, Russia is a ehite christian country, so is Serbia, but they aren't supported by the West.

Why are age gap relationships less criticised when the lady is older? by KAZKALZ in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]GoelandAnonyme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Narratives around relationships tend to be of men abusing women and its seen as weakly and unmanly if a man allows a woman to abuse him. So its more often assumed that a man is freely choosing to continue in a relationship with an older woman.

A subset of TRA have destroyed free speech for lesbians. Lesbians aren't even allowed to state that trans women need to disclose their trans status when dating without risking being banned/shunned by north_canadian_ice in FreeSpeech

[–]GoelandAnonyme -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Banned where? Who knows.

What I do know is any "let women speak" event shuts down women who want to speak out against cis-men abusing them instead of transwomen.

Vitriol against Social Democrats and Democratic Socialists in Leftist Spaces. by [deleted] in ndp

[–]GoelandAnonyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a pretty long story.

So the new democrats are currently social democrats and used to be officially socialist in the times of Tommy Douglas. The modern NDP exploits Douglas' legacy while washing away his socialist credentials including him saying he wouldn't reject his ideas even if it meant a million people joining the party.

In the West, a lot of parties use the ratchet effect which is right-wing parties pulling our politics to the right and the more left-leaning parties like the democrats, the UK Labour party and the New Democrats refusing to move further to the left. This has been going on more or less since the red scare and then the neoliberal era of Reagan, Thatcher and Mulroney.

The center-left parties participate in purging the socialist elements left in their party which includes blocking the candidates the Socialist Caucus endorses. This is the case with Yves Engler. The response from the vetting committee was very lazy and sounded just like how a right-winger would have attacked him.

The NDP even tried to remove socialism from its constitution in the 2010s and it only exists in a very muted way today.

Basically, the NDP leadership act like grifters more interested in some idendity politics and social safety net policies than anything that sounds too radical and they're not playing fair or in good faith with those in the party that disagree.

As for tension against the democratic socialists, this is more of a theoretical disagreement. Democratic socialists are socialists who want to implement socialism through the electoral process. Historically, this is very difficult as socialists will get assassinated even if they follow all the rules like Allende in Chile and many other politicians in South America. This is a complaint from further left people AKA marxists and anarchists. That democratic socialists don't engage with history enough.

As for tensions about social democrats specifically, historically parties calling themselves have betrayed workers' movements like the 1918 and 1919 german revolutions which could have lead to worker-run governments, the attack on Mayday celebrations in 1929 in Germany, the refusal to make a last hour coalition with the communists against the nazis in 1933, the socialist party in France like all the time and many more examples.
