Ironic in a way that productive forces are so developed in China that the communists have become free marketeers while the capitalists are back to doing hardcore 18th century protectionist mercantilism.
Agreed but to be fair, I think the Soviets would have done this if they could have, but they were facing an imminent invasion from the Nazis and had to batten down the hatches. China’s borders seem more secure to me compared with the USSR, which had lengthy borders with imperialist countries.
The 45+ crowd will vote for him because they support isn’treal and are afraid of Drumpf but I think we’re going to see a massive drop out of young voters. Probably too with the people who already don’t vote to begin with, namely service workers who are fucked over either way with D’s and R’s....
Sorry for the noob question. But considering the awful way that the US is treating the protests, should people push for BDS from Amerika? Like should we advocate that people not travel to the US? Not study in the US? Not collaborate with research with the US. And not buy US products....
I think a blockade of the USA is inevitable because it seems impossible to invade and then pacify the USA…unless you’re using drone swarms or something. But who knows.
So I just started my first blue collar job a couple of weeks ago. I live in a rural, coastal purple state that has been trending blue for years.

None of what you advocate can happen without revolution, and as a certain philosopher and activist said, “a revolution is not a dinner party.” It will be violent, and many people will die.
You can either have that, or you can have the Democrats/Republicans pretending to be the party of civility while they commit genocide. No ruling class in history has ever given up power peacefully.
Are you suggesting that a state built on ongoing genocide and imperialism like Canada, or a backward, semi-colonial, semi-feudal country like India, are models that anyone in their right mind should follow?
Dude took off his shoes and then put them back on again twenty times before walking into his own home. When I was a kid I thought his show was fucking boring. I think libs are just pretending to love him because he was a civility republican. CMV....
I live in a swing state and I’m not voting for Biden or Trump. The trans genocide / end of abortion rights is already happening under Biden, and even democrats on the local, county, and state levels who pretend to care about this will still vote endless amounts of money to the police.
Good so I know my parents saw this—since CNN is on in their house 24/7–and then they thought: “But this will make it easier for Trump to win the election!” Then they thought that all violence is bad, something that did not apply on 10/6, in Ukraine, or really anywhere else. Then, as CNN cut to ten minutes of pharmaceutical commercials, they forgot about it.
This is not a reflection on Bushnell obviously, I have nothing but respect for him. I just hate my parents.
I used to think that people focusing so much ire on boomers was anti-Marxist because the main contradiction in American society is class (settler / indigenous, bourgeois / proletarian) but I’ve started to wonder if this profound and really ubiquitous age-consciousness (ageism) is actually just a step toward class...
I’ve spent years arguing with people online and really have nothing to show for it aside from my own education and amusement. I was radicalized by discovering r/chapotraphouse back in 2018 I think. Nobody argued with me there, I just lurked, loved the memes, thought it was the funniest place online, then started reading theory...

I support Hamas and think there should be a million million 10/7s whenever capitalism, colonialism, imperialism, or patriarchy are present.
