*single payer starts to happen*
*Dems veto it*
"It is often said that the working class spontaneously gravitates towards socialism. This is perfectly true in the sense that socialist theory reveals the causes of the misery of the working class more profoundly and more correctly than any other theory, and for that reason the workers are able to assimilate it so easily...Nevertheless, most widespread (and continuously and diversely revived) bourgeois ideology spontaneously imposes itself upon the working class to a still greater degree." Lenin
the west coast and the UK are going thru hellacious heatwaves
meanwhile in RI it's raining or super humid all the itme and the temperature fluctuates vastly from the 70s to the mid-90s; sometimes skipping 20 degrees from day to day
climate change is starting to give us a Monsoon Season or some shit wtf man
feels like a good time to mention how constantly ragging on liberals without an actually solid marxist critique of liberalism makes it extremely easy for both radlibs to pollute leftist thought with nonsense like this, and fascists to infiltrate the left, because the online standard for leftism is just "yelling about liberals"
ppl on the bird site got REALLY strong opinions on whether china is socialist or not
(i am with the maoists on this one personally from what i have seen so far)
"We postulate each man to be an end in himself, not merely a means; and we accept the necessity of guaranteeing each man equal opportunities for his development. The implications of this for socio-political practice have to be worked out scientifically, and the necessary social and economic policies pursued with resolution. Any meaningful humanism must begin from egalitarianism and must lead to objectively chosen policies for safeguarding and sustaining egalitarianism. Hence, socialism." Nkrumah
and it's like, that's part of why it's hard for me to keep up constant motivation to look for work
it's counterintuitive at it's core to want to seek something out that will kill most of your free time, is unenjoyable, and might make your mental health tank.
a lot of the time i try to find creative non-steady work but it rarely works out. :/
i know i gotta figure it out sooner rather than later tho, sigh
so many jobs make peoples' mental health worse and so many jobs are not accommodating of peoples' mental illnesses AT ALL.
it makes me so fucking mad how much capitalism hurts the people i love
retoot if u hate the democratic party
there was a telesur article about all the factions and whatever lol i'll have to look it up again
*or maybe it's not the pyd it could be another one agggh now i'm not sure but there is definitely a soc dem/left-lib party in the area
like, the PYD's goals are not the same as other faction's goals for rojava, basically
the joys of decentralization
i remember in terms of rojava/etc stuff that there are a bunch of different factions within it and not all of them are socialist or whatever, like the PYD are a social democrat/left-liberal party or something iirc
so something to keep in mind regardless of which way you fall on the issue
why pee gee
A commie instance but it's called marxtodon
#ReadingSeries "We see that credit, instead of being an instrument for the suppression or the attenuation of crises, is on the contrary a particularly mighty instrument for the formation of crises. It cannot be anything else. Credit eliminates the remaining rigidity of capitalist relationships. It introduces everywhere the greatest elasticity possible." - Luxemburg, "Reform Or Revolution", Ch.2 "The Adaptation of Capital"
damn dprk discourse on all the social media websites
why are there ppl who think that a single dude dying in a prison is worth imperialist invasion
should he have not died? yeah. but should the US, which has 22% of the world's prisoners, fuckin invade them over it or slap them with more sanctions? that should be an obvious no!
got to smoke for the first time in like a month god bless
