Are there any real socialist countries? If there is a place where the workers have actually seized the means of production and the capitalist elite have been thrown off, I would sure AF love to know about that.

Will you tankies ever not prove yourselves insane?

Just once, I want to interact with a tankie who breaks the stereotypes and the mold. Just a bit.

Do us all a favor and go try to hug a feral cat.

One of yes. Along with gene drift and flow, and genetic mutation. But our imperialist, capitalist societies really love to lean into the survival of the fittest as the end all, be all of evolution and life. There’s a whole lot more to the complexities of nature even if our “might equals right” societies don’t see it.

It’s unfortunately far more than just birds. They kill billions of reptiles, fish, amphibians, and mammals each year. Not to mention their toxoplasmosis has been found in ocean otters (just an example of something far removed from the daily goings of a cat) and in the soil and ground water, as well as our foods. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7033973/

Very nuanced. Thank you for your thoughtful response!

The moment billionaires coopted the internet was when it went downhill. They knew the threat it posed, the vision of the early cypherpunks, and made sure the internet wouldn’t do that to their power.

Decentralization and accessibility are good things. Elitism and exclusionary practices do nothing good.

Fuck the RCC

Many leftist have been those from high class families who had the education and means to make a difference. Guevara and Engels being two examples among many. FDR, though absolutely not anywhere close to a leftist, betrayed his own upper class and championed the new deal.

I am not defending wealth. I am a dyed in the red and black commie, but I do think we should recognize that sometimes it’s actually those with enough material means to make a difference who do so.

BTW. Hasan’s a internet personality who abuses his dog, so… This comment was more about people coming from wealthier families being able to do good things.

Your accelerationist bullshit does nothing but harm us all
