Revolution, which depends on worker organizing in preparation for the inevitable crisis points of capitalism to take the entire working class in a unified direction against the capitalist state. Smash it, and replace it with one run by the working class, for the working class.
Yes, you need a vanguard party. It’s easily to see when you look at India for example where strikes of dozens of millions, even over 100 million were organised in last few years but despite having the strenght way more than enough to topple the government and even entire system, they didn’t even kept the status quo.
Bingo. Bowing to spontaneity is a foolish endeavor, you need direction for mass and force to apply pressure in a pointed area. It’s like blowing up a balloon, it takes far less air to pop it if all of the pressure were able to be localized to a specific area, rather than generally spreading evenly.
Vote as triage, but lower your expectations on a “big strong man” solving broken systems. Life is short; voting takes time from other meaningful activities. Triage, if time allows, but do other meaningful activities.
Being cautious of the “big strong man” will help recognition of the slide toward any of the flavors of fascism. Populists promise “for the people” or “for the workers” and then centralize “power to” and “power over”. The revolution results in the same broken systems with normal people with no power.
Your modlog is public, dumbass. You got banned for being an asshole. This uwu smol bean act you types try to pull off is so pathetic, at least stand by your behavior. If you have it in you to be a dick then you have it in you to admit you were being a dick. If you’re going to be a genocide denying fascist then at least have the guts to not go crying elsewhere about how you actually just a super chill civil dude arguing for socialism.
I’m interested that you call out the use of one slur in one thread, for stated reasons, and then use the word “dick” in this thread… what’s all that about then?
Good question. Dick does not have the structural or historic connotations that the other does, it is effectively removed from the gender binarh. Just like calling someone cracker is in no way similar to using the n-word.
edit: In the case you were just trying to point out hypocrisy: You should have pointed out my ableism in using words like “insane” as a derogatory. If you had done that then I would have responded along the lines of
“Hey thanks for pointing that out, I appreciate the callout. It seems to me like you are attaching some sort of moral judgement to being informed about your choice of words. This strikes me as odd, nobody expects perfection, we just expect each other to strive to do better. When someone points out a fault as you did here, then that is just a helping hand for me to better myself, just as it is when I pointed out your usage of a sexist slur.”
Yeah, I thought that might be the gist for your reasoning. Thanks for the civil reply. Hope you didn’t mind me asking…
For the record I’m more towards the original poster’s view, the daily use of insults has transcended any deep rooted sexist connotations and we now live in a glorious linguistic free for all when it comes to insulting people.
I think some words are, generally, free of previously regressive burdens, but I do not count the one you used as one of them. I struggle to think of any disparaging word about women that does not still carry an inherent core of sexism, but there is probably one out there. I do not need to find it.
Honestly, don’t overthink it. It was just that, in my opinion, I thought your word choices were incongruous so I sought out your reasoning. Like I said, thanks for answering - I understand where you’re coming from; but don’t personally agree. There was nothing more to it.
You were there, stop bullshitting. Quote where I denied the genocide, let’s see it. What I did say was to get your head out of your ass and vote. Genocide denial is what’s going on with you guys, only putting the dems on a magnifying glass while the other party plans resorts in Gaza.
In your last fucking post. I know you BlueMaga shitlibs can’t remember anything more than a week ago but now you can’t even remember your own previous post.
Or do you just love how things have been going this past decade?
Shrilly screeching at leftists that they must shut the fuck up and vote for Democrats has literally been your strategy for a decade, if you don’t like how it’s been going, stop doing it
Serious question. What is your actionable alternative? Actionable as in something you do
Revolution, which depends on worker organizing in preparation for the inevitable crisis points of capitalism to take the entire working class in a unified direction against the capitalist state. Smash it, and replace it with one run by the working class, for the working class.
So unionizing?
That can be part of it, but trade unionism alone is not revolution, nor can it become revolution without revolutionary organizing.
Yes, you need a vanguard party.

Thats not even remotely the same
Disrupt the course of the water permanently (every day of the year), instead of a symbolic gesture one day out of the year.
In this case the water is the accumulating mass discontent and the drain is militarism and nationalism.
The faucet is capitalism. We need to put way more text on this leftist meme.

Regarding individual actions:
No gods, no masters. All power to all people.
Just got banned from the USA community for, at least in part, asking this… Albeit less briefly and nowhere near as polite.

Genuinely, am I missing something?

No worries, I understand the confusion.
I think some words are, generally, free of previously regressive burdens, but I do not count the one you used as one of them. I struggle to think of any disparaging word about women that does not still carry an inherent core of sexism, but there is probably one out there. I do not need to find it.

I didn’t take it as anything more. I am not the one who downvoted you
Unfortunately for you, your modlog is public and shows you were actually banned for genocide denial

“Genocide isn’t so bad if it’s to build Israeli settlements and not American resorts!”
Literally your only objection to the actions of the current administration is that it’s Republicans doing it
"I know you are but what am I!’
