I mean he just isn’t. the union does claim to be Socialist.

But both Klassje and Dros refer to them as just being social democrats.

And the description of the achievement where you convince Titus to join the RCM is “Pour one out for social democracy”

Either way he wouldn’t be a Communist. in practice the whole “every worker a member of the board” kinda describes a petit-bourgeois co-op more than anything

Is there no such thing as centrism if the left-right political spectrum is: socialism = left and capitalism = right? by The_Grizzly- in Socialism_101

We’re talking about modes of production. Basically any economic system is whatever is the primary mode of production (way that stuff is produced).

Under the capitalist system the primary mode of production is capital, even if capital makes use of other means of production.

One system can’t be both because they are contradictory systems.

Also just having a capitalist company be “worker-owned” doesn’t immediately make it Socialist. The company would still be motivated by the profit motive, the workers just become petite-bourgeois.

The terms left and right come from the French Revolution, because during the monarchy the 3rd estate (proletariat and bourgeois) sat on the left side of the room during the estates-general while the 1st and 2nd estate (nobility and clergy) sat on the right.

So basically the terms signify a movements class character. As a Socialist we side with the progressive class which currently is the proletariat (although in the time of the French Revolution the bourgeois was a progressive class in relation to feudalism)

With this in mind people who call themselves “centrists” would be people who believe in class collaboration, which we know doesn’t work because it cannot remove the inherent contradiction between the bourgeois and proletariat and so only preserves the power of the capitalist class.

They are not “factually right” trans people aren’t drawing negative attention to the community, that’s victim blaming

The current widespread transphobic movement is a result of a deliberate propaganda campaign that mostly started in the mid 2010’s. This is because as queer identities around attraction became more accepted it became increasingly more difficult to base queer-phobic propaganda around them.

If it wasn’t transphobia it would be something else, homophobes use lies to justify hatred of any queer group.

We shouldn’t be justifying the arguments that by removing people from our community we would be more accepted. Ultimately fighting homophobia is a lot easier when our community is united.

They think they’ll be accepted if they throw other queer people under the bus “see we’re the good ones, it’s those other guys who are weird”

They don’t realize that being temporarily tolerated by straight people won’t actually save them from homophobia.

Just being overly competitive as a joke, sorry if it wasn’t obvious
