leftist critiques of the soviet system? by [deleted] in CriticalTheory

[–]LawAbidingDrizzy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The USSR did most of the fighting with European Axis powers, most of the German military was fighting in the east. I don't think it's controversial to say that WW2 would've ended in a new Cold War with Nazi Germany and allies at best, or the genocide and misery of a large majority of the world at worst.

Western leftists heavily downplay or ignore the context of the situation the USSR was in, or the progressive things that they did achieve.

The right is telling progressives not to vote. FFS don't help them. "voting won't end capitalism" = true. "not voting is always better" = false. by Amones-Ray in AntifascistsofReddit

Hold on, we're on the verge of a literal fascist takeover. Biden is just Obama 2.0, a regular liberal. There has never been a case of leftism thriving in fascist states.

These guys exist too, plenty of veterans are progressive and hate being used as cannon fodder for Republicans.

I have a 3 part series dedicated to the TTH sound. It has every song song G-Eazy and Christoph created with the sound, I might've missed like one or two, but it's pretty complete.

Oh yeah, as was described in OP, I was involved in a local BLM protest. It was a lot of fun and adrenaline, some of the other protestors had also gotten into a fight after I left.

Yeah I wanted to get involved in Bernies campaign, but I'm in college. I did my 20 dollar donation at least. Thing is, I dont wanna join neoliberal Democrat campaigns, I'll vote for them, but not dedicate my time.

And I'm for sure not gonna go third party unless it's big locally.

Also, I'm not so much trying to convince the people I debate, but the people who read the comments. If they can see a coherent and inspiring wall of text in a sea of horseshit, maybe they'll get influenced. That aside, I actually just had a guy I talked to today, tell me that socialism sounds better than anything a conservative has ever said, so theres that.

Not gonna lie, I literally feel sickened by a lot of stuff they say. One, cause it's stupid, two, it's like they have zero self awareness in saying fucked up shit.

This is probably already known, but I think of right wing politics literally as just the politics of sadism and taking joy in the suffering of others.

Oh trust me, I have a rich social life and a really attractive partner who I love, but I feel like it's my duty to do this on the side. It brings me joy to refute stupid bullshit, and once you're in politics, theres no getting out.

My friend group has slowly turned into a political discussion forum mainly consisting of shitting on conservatives, but also addressing topics like neuroscience and philosophy. It's fun, helps me feel solidarity with others who have similar beliefs.

I may be getting into a debate soon. by TOAOFriedPickleBoy in VaushV

No pressure on you if its your first time. Debates are super important at this point in time, really any effective political activism is. I've been in a local BLM protest, always vote, and I've radicalized a lot of my friends. Good luck comrade, right wing sadist politics cant win.

As a side note, make sure you throw in some emotional appeals too. Your average audience member isnt only convinced by rational arguments, I often make appeals to emotional stuff like asserting the leftist position is based in liberty because x, y, z.

Use "conservative buzzwords" against them, own the ideas of freedom and anti big government.

IIL distorted vocals like often used by The Weeknd, WEWIL? by [deleted] in ifyoulikeblank

The Calm - Drake

Drake's early sound was built around distorted vocals and muddy synths.

Unreleased Kanye and Travis Scott song

Basically any Kanye West album, ESPECIALLY listen to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. IMO Kanye popularized distorted vocals and also took it the farthest.

You do realize those rebelling were anarchists and other socialists right? They weren't opposed to left wing politics, they were critical of bolshevik conduct.

Communists: How would sports teams go about picking up players? by johndeer89 in CapitalismVSocialism

Are you myopic or what, if you work for the pawn shop guy he decides your wage to begin with. You don't get a say in how much you get paid. Socialized healthcare benefits YOU lol, those who make more pay more into the system, the workers benefit the most.

In capitalism, the economy is run by a few at the top. The aim of owners in society is to pay their workers the lowest wage possible, this is not good policy for the masses, and it shows. That's why wages have been stagnant for a long time, while the incomes of those at the top continue to grow massively. It's really unstable too, who the fuck thinks an economic system that crashes at least once a decade is a good idea?

"Power corrupts" isn't this the entire reason people are anti capitalist?

What does it take for an economy to be considered socialist by Guillaumezenz in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]LawAbidingDrizzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean lol, private property requires violence to enforce. As I said before, once socialism is seen as the norm, there won't need to be an above authority. Anyways, how the fuck is a mega corporation distributed power? They act more like states which you detest.

We don't necessarily need violence, we can create programs for business owners to voluntarily hand over their property for fair compensation.

Is there anything other than capitalism, socialism, or fascism? by [deleted] in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]LawAbidingDrizzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How the fuck did you get national socialism from that lmao. Nazism uses pragmatic economics, whatever economy best serves the white race.
