35. Dem soc late to the game. Ecology🌹anti-imperialism🌹anti-capitalism🌹 internationalism.
the good thing about ap gov is that it's teaching me why americans are the way they are. this country was practically founded on the idea that property is sacred. it's why people show more outrage when a window gets broken in a protest (even if it's swiftly replaced) than when a black person is murdered for no reason.
@cybermeow Or perhaps may I suggest the Bread Book (The Conquest of Bread, by Kropotkin)?
Karl Marx's "Das Kapital was published 150 years ago today, if youve ever been curious about leftist ideology this is a perfect time to read What Is Property by Proudhon instead :>
Another member of German military has been arrested in connection to the plot of a 1st Lieutenant to pose as a refugee to perform a terror attack and blame refugees. Weapons, swastikas, etc confiscated.
Views were known before, but allowed to continue career.
53 cases of right-wing extremists in German military identified by military this year, 275 since the year 2011. -SVT
@empire_of_crime I think it was the first time the Nobel Committee gave an award to someone for NOT being someone else – George W Bush, that is.
Still, after 8 years of carnage, it is time to take it away from Obama.
I still think Obama is even less deserving than Aung San Suu Kyi, she has slaughtered far less people. Seriously. Let's start by taking away his.

'A confidential intelligence report by the DHS and the FBI accused the "anarchist extremists" of attacks on police, government and political institutions, along with any other symbols of the "capitalist system" or displays of racism, social injustice or fascism.'
So now apparently not only is violent anti-fascism considered domestic terrorism, but so apparently is civil rights and anticapitalism.

The concept that DSA isn't anticapitalist is a myth I see floating around.
DSA is, in fact, an anticapitalist organization. Officially, it describes itself as one, and members tend to be quite vocal about it.
The membership of DSA is made up of people with a diverse range of views, from social democrats to anarcho-syndicalists, because DSA isn't a political party and doesn't have a 'party line', but almost any member you meet will believe capitalism doesn't work and should be overthrown and replaced with a socialist system.
The concept of eliminating captialism and taking collective control of the means of production is in our constitution.
I, the person running this account, don't know any active DSA member of my local chapter who ISN'T an anticapitalist.
(Re-posted, fixing significant typo of is -> isn't)
A bunch of us got together at a member's house to make some buttons and cut some flyers. It was very fun!
We'll be at the Labor Day Breakfast at the Fresno Fairgrounds tomorrow, tabling from 8 AM - 12 PM. Drop in and say hi? You can get one of our sweet buttons!

in a capitalist society, who has the monopoly on violence? where and how is this power used, and against who? i will collect the exams at the end of the class.
lol the DSA facebook page deleted all the comments about fetonte. shit is fucked. I hope they call a special convention to boot his ass and all of the fascist collaborators that didn't vote to expel him.

i'm overwhelmed by all the hate in the world i'm so scared
this Vox video about Venezuela is so fucking disgusting (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1gUR8wM5vA&)
- Vox claims that Maduro rigged (lol) the economy by using graphs to explain the economic situation, while completely ignoring the broader imperialistic context, without taking into account the international division of labor, the unequal exchange that arises from exportation of cheap manufactures and resources from poor countries to the rich countries (venezuela is the fifth exporter of oil), the video is full of gross misrepresentation and revisionism
What does donotlink.it do?
Using donotlink.it instead of linking to questionable websites directly will prevent your links from improving these websites' position in search engines. Additionally donotlink.it will remove the referer, so the linked website will not know where its visitors are coming from.
How does it work?
• This url is blocked in our robots.txt file, so (search engine) robots are discouraged from crawling it.
• The "nofollow" attribute of the link and the intermediate page give robots another reminder to not crawl the link.
• If a known robot does decide to crawl the link, our code will identify it and serve it a blank page (403 Forbidden) instead of redirecting to the url.
• Redirects are implemented via JavaScript and not via http response status codes so the browser will remove the referer from the request.
#MarkBray 'OK, if you don’t think that it’s appropriate to physically confront and to stand in front of neo-Nazis who are trying to organize for another genocide now, do you do it after someone has died, as they just did? Do you do it after a dozen people have died? Do you do it once they’re at the footsteps of power? At what point? At what point do you say, "Enough is enough," and give up on the liberal notion that what we need to do is essentially create some sort of a regime of rights that allow neo-Nazis and their victims to coexist, quote-unquote, "peacefully," and recognize that the neo-Nazis don’t want that and that also the anti-fascists are right in not looking at it through that liberal lens, but rather seeing fascism not as an opinion that needs to be responded to respectfully, but as an enemy to humanity that needs to be stopped by any means necessary?'

–'...[these fascists in Charlottesville] are not the authors of neoliberal capitalism with its devastating effects on the poor around the planet. They are not the ones militarizing the borders to enforce global apartheid. They are not behind the extraction and burning of fossil fuels that is destroying the planet, with the poor and people of color the first to lose their homes and livelihoods. If we truly want to challenge racism, oppression, and inequality, we should turn our attention away from the few hundred marchers in Charlottesville and towards the real sources and enforcers of our unjust global order. They are not hard to find.'

" J. Marion Sims was a gynecologist in the 1800s who purchased Black women slaves and used them as guinea pigs for his untested surgical experiments. He repeatedly performed genital surgery on Black women WITHOUT ANESTHESIA because according to him, "Black women don't feel pain.” Despite his inhumane tests on Black women, Sims was named “the father of modern gynecology”, and his statue currently stands right outside of the New York Academy of Medicine.
