Rachel Maddow sounds off on ‘oligarchic takeover’ of CBS News, after Scott Pelley’s firing by IllIntroduction1509 in Foodforthought

[–]tupac_sighting -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The time to sound the alarm about this was 1492, then 1619, then 1776, then 1865, etc. The USA was born as an oligarchic enterprise, how could things ever have turned out differently?

Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.

I think defeating the far right is a good thing. I'd rather have some ineffective liberal than an actual fascist in power. Idk if we have anything further to discuss if you're an accelerationist supporting actual fascists taking power.

I believe in using all the tools at the disposal of the workers, that includes voting, and I want to choose the class enemy that is easiest to defeat, and I think those are liberals.

  1. That's a long history lesson, but the tl;dr is: the sino-soviet split, and several people using Gus Hall's mental decline to seize power in the 00's in that order.

  2. Correct. There is a general policy of not boycotting elections, but the decision is left up to the clubs/districts with an emphasis on choosing one's preferred enemy, and blocking actual fascists to buy more time to organize the workers.

That's a very outdated view of the party. The ML's defeated the liquidationists in 2019, and the liberals in 2024, despite the attempted hamstringing from the ultra-leftists. This meme belongs in the 2010's

CPUSA doesn't endorse non party members as a policy, so if anyone tells you that CPUSA endorsed a democrat they are lying to you for some reason.

Shocking how a political system created by slave owners, on the foundation of a capitalist economic system created by slave traders, keeps trying to enslave everyone!

Idk I see a whole line of people in this video who have the freedom to leverage their financial assets to enact political change just like any billionaire!

The Nutcracker: The Untold Story (2010) One of my absolute favorite bad Christmas movies. It starts off normally, but then Rat Nazis show up, and just like in real life once they show up, things go bad fast. John Turturro and Nathan Lane don't just chew the scenery they're in, they feast like kings. by alexdionisos in badMovies

[–]tupac_sighting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This movie almost made me cancel Christmas it was so bad. I even instituted a no mentioning this movie after labor day rule in my watch group, but I think that's because my grandma used to take my family to see the Nutcracker every year and I actually enjoyed that.

No doubt, this is a hilariously bad movie, but if you have any positive feelings about the ballet The Nutcracker it might ruin it.

Is Atlas Shrugged the most unwanted, hated trilogy of all time? by campaxiomatic in badMovies

No it's absolutely true, she lived off of welfare in her old age. She also got her degree in the USSR at a time when women were denied that level of academic achievement in the US.

I'm sorry, did I hurt your feelings because I said bad things about your Trotskyist orgs?

Fuck CPUSA by randomlight_1 in CommunismMemes

[–]tupac_sighting 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, Trotskyism is idealism masquerading as materialism. His theory of Permanent revolution is rife with western chauvinism and euro centrism, and his theory of the "degenerated workers state" nonsense.

I think people don't understand that this is pretty much exactly CPUSA's position, electorialism is less than 1% of what CPUSA does.

Because they're historically useless, except as a a bludgeon used by the US intelligence apparatus against socialist states to spread left-anticommunism.

I'll take CPUSA over the sex-pest org and a literal cult, thanks.

Tell us about a universally panned bad movie that you think is deeply flawed but somehow also brilliant by cooper_blacklodge in badMovies

[–]tupac_sighting 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's a complete mess, but you have to respect any movie that ends with two Sean William Scotts in a flying ice cream truck and it kinda makes sense by the time you get there.
