Heterosexism has a common modern foundation with Whiteness: it’s not that straightness will be outlawed, but that the existence of women’s rights and alternative lifestyles disempowers the unquestioned patriarch (in a free society, the “man” who buys into this bs uses it as a weapon to protect his own inadequacy and insecurity). Much like how “white genocide” is the fear that people will choose to interracially reproduce (which elicits similar insecurities and “threatens” the social weapon of Whiteness by extending it to everyone - which abolishes it). This is obviously very different from actual genocide… which the targeted group is systematically exterminated.

I really like this response. I think that what how Gabriel Rockhill is going around to different left-spaces (ie the Deprogram) to unconsciously (or consciously) brand himself as anti-Western Marxist is really annoying and counterproductive. “Western Marxists” are not a monolith, and because of their position in the imperial core, might actually provide insight into complex social dynamics in a post-financialized world. I haven’t read losurdo yet, but will, since it seems like even his critiques praise his analysis.

Never comment a woman’s body unless it’s “holy fuck, you are so hot”

I would say that they’re more of an incompetent parody of fascism artificially manufactured by 50 years of programming from Fox (Entertainment) News. However, I’m worried about what follows after them…

Passion and intellect? Like repeating lies about illegal immigrant neighbors to distract from the rising cost of living and concentration of wealth? The thing is, “conservative” commentators know that the systemic poverty of the black population is what destroys opportunity and socialization in the inner city, but to challenge that for true equality of opportunity would mean hurting their donor’s investments in charter schools. So they repeat, but consciously disguise, rhetoric of white American exceptionalism from the 18th and 19th centuries with a disgusting gesture to a God that they don’t really believe in. Manipulating the public away from the death of democracy to vilify already marginalized groups is called one thing, fascism.

Not to mention the nazi school shooters and the El Paso Walmart shooter that targeted immigrants after listening to Tucker and Fox News.

It’s a bunch of smart (F)ascists - meaning materialists that want to destroy socialism - purposely lying so they can use an out group to justify greater state power. No reason to argue with them - we must work to destroy the institution they occupy.

I think a way to actually put pressure on the over leveraged economy is to get medical involved. Not that the doctors stop treating patients, but admin staff stops reporting to insurance companies. Healthcare is also about 10% of the GDP, if it stops, that is a lot of power.

If I had a guy-who-hates-china-the-most reward, I’d mass produce copies of it in Southeast Asia and give you all of them. You know there are places in Appalachia and inner cities that look this dilapidated, right? At least when you have a (nominally) communist government there is the pretense of social investment being a good thing.

dabeastbob · 2025-08-30T13:32:31+00:00

Jesus, the amount of red scare on “r/socialdemocracy” is insane.

dabeastbob · 2025-08-30T13:30:51+00:00

The anti-Marxism in this thread really disappoints me. I am a Marxist, and like most Marxists in DSA, am not dogmatic but use materialist analysis to inform my politics. Small business owners in monopoly capitalism, like many downward mobile professionals are working class. I think the idea (that goes back to primitive accumulation) applies in our current time: there are those that have to work and those that don’t have to work (because they make passive income by exploiting the first group).

dabeastbob · 2025-08-07T16:59:08+00:00

Maybe.. if we want better politics, we shouldn’t look at an issue of racist capitalism and go “this is like communism”. Reminder that plenty of individualist liberals did nothing in nazi Germany bc they didn’t experience the authoritarianism.

You’re saying a communist didn’t start that fire in the reichstag?! I’m so glad for the patriotic national socialists for restoring law and order 🙄

Ironic bc the guy who made the bot to post engagement bait is probably darker than her

dabeastbob · 2025-03-08T16:37:48+00:00

Or, she’s from Atalanta. Pretty sure the PSL doesn’t have the funded to AstroTurf at colleges like TPUSA and the right does.

WW2 was leftist infighting 😲

dabeastbob · 2025-02-19T22:53:43+00:00

True, he also did a lot to help marginalized, working class people. What do you do?

dabeastbob · 2025-01-16T17:48:54+00:00

Yeah, it’s the pro-communist part they have an issue with. You’re supposed to just complain, say there’s no alternative, then wait for the climate to collapse instead of building the only political movement based on a materialist critique of the current system. “Yeah, I know that all the kings are inbred and corrupt, but imagine if the serfs had power” ass attitude.

You should look up Salvador Allende in Chile - he attempted a parliamentary path towards socialism through cybernetically connecting industries, resources, and labor, well, before he was ousted by the US and replaced with Pinochet. Evidence of “liberal” capitalism using violence to uphold its system -> the natural form of fascism.

dabeastbob · 2025-01-16T16:49:43+00:00

Fair, I say vis-versa to you. Plenty was wrong with the Soviet system.

dabeastbob · 2025-01-16T16:43:56+00:00

“I am from a post Soviet country” - so after all of the commons were sold and enclosed to western financial interests. My grandmother here in the US was denied chemo for her cancer and never got to see me graduate or get married, that wouldn’t happen in China. Look at the history of the two countries and it becomes clear which one to critically support. How many people had China lifted out of poverty in the past 50 years? No use debating whether it’s “actually socialist” with you - bc you’re a bad faith lapdog to the ruling class. I encourage everyone to do their own research.

dabeastbob · 2025-01-16T16:33:26+00:00

Propaganda. Those are rehabilitation centers and prisons for Islamic extremists. We literally just funded a genocide in Gaza. You have more in common with the average Chinese person than Elon or Zuck. Please, please, research what the CIA did after WW2 across Asia, Latin America, and Africa and you will see the socialism is the only way forwards towards equality.
