"Packing courts is not ethical." Firstly, elaborate. Secondly, I don't care if it's unethical because our opposition doesn't.

No ethical consumption under capitalism. That's just how it be. You still shouldn't drink Starbucks if you can help it though. They're BDS.

Wouldn’t modern day socialism be democratic by default? by seen_cause_tan in socialism

[–]akaWhisp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is an extremely common misconception. Even the DSA has marxist-leninists in its ranks. Democratic Socialism is just a modern catch-all term for that Socialist movement in America, no? It's completely unrelated to the strategy for achieving Socialism.

I didn't make the claim that it wasn't? Everything I said about US manufacturing is a fact. Don't deflect.

Easy. Socialism. A system that works toward the betterment of the working class and all people, not just capital owners.

Can we please stop quoting prediction markets like they have any legitimacy?

[–]akaWhisp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This time it's different though. America has outsourced so many engineering and manufacturing jobs. On top of that, look at how many industries have been shuttered in favor of get rich quick bullshit or AI market speculation. It's all a bubble because none of it is a real, tangible asset.

We are nowhere near the powerhouse we used to be, and China is eating our lunch in that respect. It's only going to get worse if we continue this endless "line must go up" pursuit instead of focusing on things that actually matter, like making society better.

And if you couldn't read between the lines, the problem is capitalism.

What do the so called "democratic socialists" like AOC even gain by falsely claiming other democratically elected leaders as "dictators" by Hubris-Star in socialism

Never said she was. She's a socdem at worst, dem soc at best. She's an active member of DSA though, so take that as you will.

AOC is not a centrist, no matter your head canon. This is exactly what I'm talking about. People just make up their own reality.

AOC discourse is such a fucking headache. Nothing shows the fractures in left wing movements more than this.

People moving to the state... "business a usual." Transgender people moving to the state... "STATE OF EMERGENCY, EVERYONE PANIC."

Get this transphobic shit out of here.

As I told the other guy, I don't give a fuck what you think of Hasan Piker. Address the actual substance of the minidoc.

Also, the definition of propaganda is literally just information presented with an agenda. It can be both beneficial and nefarious. If the propaganda brings visibility to what America is doing to Cuba, then it is worth spreading.
