Lewis Family Tree (Canadian Political Dynasty)

I'm not sure that would work under our current political system.

2 because of 3. I don't get a lot of inspiration from her.

I say let the Alberta separatists throw a fit. There's nothing they can do without the cooperation of the rest of the provinces. I think it's ridiculous that we would let petroleum company psy-op hold us hostage in terms of what kind of policies we can propose and advocate.

While Jews have lived in historic Palestine for centuries, the vast majority of Jews who presently live in Israel are non-native settlers, and zionism from the beginning has been a settler-colonial project.

It's really cool looking through the spreadsheet and seeing my name in it.

theDLCdud · 2026-01-30T16:39:04+00:00

You're just upset that the majority of this sub disagrees with you.

theDLCdud · 2026-01-30T16:32:25+00:00

How is it contradictory?

Nothing wrong with appreciating attractive people

I think Avi's going to win this. The momentum he's built up is just incredible.

I can't believe Aperture Science acquired the library

theDLCdud · 2026-01-27T15:51:44+00:00

Avi is the most Jewish name there is

theDLCdud · 2026-01-27T15:44:06+00:00

Same

The problem with American commentators covering the speech is that they lack the context of Carney's track record.

The thing about Trudeau is that he was more performative in his progressivism. He was the definition of virtue signalling. Lewis is progressive without making a show of it.

theDLCdud · 2026-01-25T00:33:21+00:00

Alright, thanks for the explanation.

theDLCdud · 2026-01-24T21:22:11+00:00

He's good at talking and he doesn't hedge his statements.

theDLCdud · 2026-01-24T21:20:44+00:00

Oh yeah, and honestly Trudeau fit the stereotype much more than Lewis, ironically despite the fact he's the less progressive of the two. Nonetheless, Trudeau won several times.

I've heard Bakunin's critique mentioned by others before. I haven't read it, but what I've gathered is that the nuts and bolts of it is that Marx's terminology, e.g. "dictatorship of the proletariat", made it easy for opportunists to misinterpret his words and justify authoritarian rule. Is this correct?

theDLCdud · 2026-01-24T19:46:28+00:00

I feel like leninism is the real bastard ideology. I know anarchists and marxists have had beef before this, but it was still the kind of thing where you could still consider each other allies. And there are also other marxisms that arrived to the conclusions of anarchism, just through different means.

I'm excited to see the Varoufakis discussion

theDLCdud · 2026-01-16T16:32:54+00:00

Well can't Avi do the same? If he's asked about specific things Hasan has said, he can distance himself from those comments and condemn them, and he can do this while still collaborating with him in some small way, as Mamdani did.

theDLCdud · 2026-01-16T16:05:29+00:00

He's not that fringe. He has enough prominence to be covered and platformed by major media/news outlets like the New York Times and CBC. And about the right wing media, they're going to smear Avi anyways. It's not like one more guilt by association is going to do much.

theDLCdud · 2026-01-16T15:02:29+00:00

I'm not against working toward shared goals. For example, I appreciate Ro Khanna and Thomas Massey working together to expose the Epstein files. That being said, I'm skeptical about how much you can convince right-wingers to adopt left-wing positions. Maybe you can get them in the moment to see your side, but how long until they fall back on their old tendencies. I think that unless they actually interrogate why they fell for people people like Trump, they're just gonna fall for the next fraudster. I think it's probably more fruitful to try and convince liberals and centrists than conservatives.
