You don't even seem to be talking about the same thing I'm talking about.

@marius_gs

I'm not talking about working class people leaving America due to financial desperation. I'm talking about socialists who want to leave America simply because they no longer want to participate in the class struggle out of fear of it becoming more dangerous for them under this second Trump presidency – a pure act of cowardice.

Any socialist talking about leaving America because of the Trump presidency is just as worthless to the oppressed workers of America as a non-socialist. If you want to abandon the working class the moment things get tough, then leave. You won't be missed by me. You were only a comrade as long as you were comfortable. The moment the class struggle started to heat up, you showed your true colors.

You absolutely can be a socialist and antizionist. I don't know about zionism being a form of socialism, but regardless of whether it is or not, a socialist can dislike zionism for its real-world implementations with Israel and still remain a socialist. Assuming that zionism is a form of socialism, a socialist doesn't have to agree with every version of socialism and thus can be an antizionist and a socialist.

You blocked them for what reason?

It's a Trotskyist organization, so I wouldn't say that the kids are completely alright if they're going to join a group that's so idealistic and disconnected from reality, but it is good in general that the kids are at least finding an interest in Marxism-Leninism.

I respectfully don't believe you. Until I either astral project myself or am presented with some sort of empirically verified evidence that proves that astral projection is a real thing, I'm going to withhold belief in astral projection.

@ghostxkitty3

No, and to add, I have no reason to think that anyone else has either. Why do you ask?

@stfueveryone

It isn't a good idea to completely abandon "complicated" theoretical talk altogether. There is a time and place for more casual talk about socialism, and there is also a time and place for discussing the more in-depth theoretical nature of socialist ideology. Both methods of discussing socialism should be used when necessary.

Yes, bad things happened in the #SovietUnion. Nobody denies that and nobody excuses that.

What you have to understand is that the Soviet Union was under constant #imperialist sabotage. Naturally, there were some excesses, just like under #capitalism bad things happen all the time.

Believers in god(s), spirits, ghosts, astrology, etc, if you want to convince me of what you believe, don't give me arguments. I don't want arguments. I want evidence. You're not trying to convince me of an idea. You're trying to convince me of an entity, force, phenomenon, etc, that actually exists and has some sort of effect on the material world. Arguments don't prove the existence of something. Evidence does. If you don't have evidence, then I don't want to hear it.

Advice for socialists:

Don't argue with anti-socialists. They can be convinced, but they're too far gone for you to waste your limited time on Earth with. Instead, spend your time conversing with people whose minds aren't made up on socialism or who know little to nothing about socialism, which is most people.

What do you mean "not like this?"

The dictatorship of the proletariat is not the end of the class struggle, but its continuation in new forms. The dictatorship of the proletariat is the class struggle of the proletariat, which has won victory and has seized political power, against the bourgeoisie, which although vanquished has not been annihilated, has not disappeared, has not ceased its resistance, has increased its resistance.

The number of people is the problem. The more people there are in a general location, the more dangerous people there will be, which will increase the need for prisons, police, etc. If societies were to divide themselves into smaller groups then the need for police, prisons, etc, would be lowered or even eliminated, but most people would have to be convinced to organize their communities this way, which I don't see happening any time soon, so this solution isn't very realistic.

We all know prisons didn't always exist, but they exist now, and they exist for a reason. Have you ever considered that the reason prisons didn't exist in the past and they do now is because the material conditions of the past were different than they are now, and thus different systems that weren't needed in the past are now required? Less people made up communities in the past, so prisons weren't really required to handle rule breakers, unlike in our modern large communities.

The problem with #anarchism is that it's idealistic and thus incompatible with reality, which is how you get #anarchists advocating for such things as the abolition of prisons (because they're "objectively evil"), but instead of taking the materialist (i.e., correct) route of examining reality to determine whether it's practicable now (it isn't), they instead take the idealistic (wrong) route of trying to shape reality to their idea of what the world should be no matter how unrealistic it is.
