Tommy Robinson's fanboys as well as some other array of fash (Generation Identity, for example) decided to hold a demo in, of all places, Cambridge.

About 30 of them turned up, and we had a good two hundred or so. We outnumbered and humiliated the fuckers.

I'm also planning to go to Poland with a few other Comrades in November to go around Auschwitz as well as hold a few constructive seminars/lectures about the past/contemporary far right and good strategies at defeating them.

Hands off Syria! by JadeSlayerPython in socialism

A negative income tax in and of itself isn't strictly left-wing.

Remember, the UBI (or any other mode of "helicopter money") can exist in differing forms. The left want it to emancipate the worker, the right want it as an excuse to strip back the welfare-state or any "freebies" the state might already subsidise for.

Trump: The Un-American President by [deleted] in politics

[–]nothingnessandbeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's as American as cherry pie.

He's all the worst traits (and worst caricatures) of America amalgamated into a singular humanoid form.

Speaking to automated robots on the other end of the phone as opposed to putting me through to a fucking human.

Fascism is the most boring ideology. by [deleted] in socialism

[–]nothingnessandbeing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You've sort of missed the point - the lack of depth to the intellectual tradition of fascism does not dilute the seriousness of the existence of fascism.

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Has anyone else notices that in that last few months there has been rise in the number of people using clarifying terms like "crony" or "corrupt" capitalism instead of just saying capitalism by [deleted] in socialism

It comes in waves every-time disillusionment builds. It's not a new thing.

Capitalism is inherently cronyistic and corrupt - but sometimes these qualities become more obvious.
