How was Marxism-Leninism a catastrophe?

@alemppu

The hammer and sickle symbol is not "a symbol of totalitarian red fascism and oppression" just because you say so, and neither is Marxism-Leninism fascism just because you say so. The hammer and sickle symbol has its own meaning that isn't related to fascism, and a quick Google search will show the difference between Marxism-Leninism and fascism. If you're going to hate Marxism-Leninism, then at least do it without strawmaning it.

I'm going to do the same thing I would've done even if Harris became president: continue to try and educate and organize the working class. It'll just be harder now with a far-right wing administration in control led by a possible soon-to-be fascist dictator that will drastically push the social, political, and economic spheres of the country into even further hostility against leftists and leftist organizations than they already were.

The unity of the bourgeoisie can be shaken only by the unity of the proletariat. #socialism #communism

To all of the protest voters, if Trump actually does end up becoming a fascist dictator, just keep chanting to yourself, "Harris would have been exactly the same" and "at least I didn't vote for a genocider" to make yourself feel better.

A party that has set out to lead the fighting proletariat must not be a chance conglomeration of individuals, but a united centralised organisation, so that its activities can be directed according to a single plan. People first unite, then they organise, and only then do they go into battle. If that is not done, all struggle is fruitless. #socialism #communism

@nullpotential

Not all leftists. Just the ones that either voted third party and especially the ones that didn't vote at all.

@Delphi

They voted third party or didn't vote instead of voting for Harris.

Leftists in America have no sense of self-preservation.

Leftists in America are fucking stupid.

@jlou @tursiops

That's basically the same thing, and either way, it's not a false dichotomy.

@abdullahanam @superluminous

Whether you like it or not, these are the facts: Either Harris or Trump will be president, and Trump is more of a threat than Harris (I'm not saying that Harris also isn't a threat also. I'm saying she's less of a threat, so you don't have to remind me of the horrible things she's done because I already know).

@Hoodedman

Harris is a fascist? Where's your proof?

America is fascist? Where's your proof?

Do you even know what the word "fascist" means, or are you just using the word to refer to when politicians commit horrific atrocities (which isn't what fascism is)?

Fascism actually has a meaning that I don't think you're using or are aware of.

@tursiops

Is capitalism or socialism better? Well, that depends. Better for who? Capitalism is better for the bourgeoisie, but worse for the proletariat, and socialism is better for the proletariat, but worse for the bourgeoisie. In other words, capitalism is better for the minority of rich people, whereas socialism is better for the majority of working class people.

#capitalism #socialism

@jlou @tursiops@tooting.ch

The question isn't a false dichotomy. It's not stating that capitalism and socialism are the only two options, it's just asking the reader which is better between the two, just like how someone asking which is better, apples or oranges, isn't a false dichotomy.

@superluminous

I'm going to go crazy arguing with all of these people.

@krapocho

Then what's your bright idea? What should Americans be doing instead of voting for Harris?

@krapocho

And if Harris wins then the CIA, FBI, etc, will also still be in power, but the president won't be a far-right fascist and will support some policies that will be beneficial to leftists in some ways. There is no way to eradicate fascism right now. This election is about harm reduction, and Harris will be less harmful.

@diffiehellmanstan

My entire claim is that believing things without evidence is not a good thing because if you don't have evidence to prove something true then you won't know if you're belief in it is true or not true, which would cause both minor and major inconveniences in people's lives and communities, and that because of this we should strive to believe as many true things and as few false things as possible, and the best way to do that is to have evidence for our beliefs. Do you agree?

@krapocho

You're speaking as if you don't know a single thing about Trump, his support base, or how the American government works. If you aren't American, learn about American politics before forming an opinion on it. If you are American, then there's no excuse for you to be this clueless.
