@AnarchoNinaWrites My favourite Soviet style joke:
Question: What did Capitalism manage in 5 years that Communism could not in 40?
Answer: Make Communism look good!

@AnarchoNinaWrites But Nina how else could centrists muddy the water, while handing out the keys to power?
@ekis I myself saw an Documentation of Arte about the workers movement (4h long btw) and only afterwards knew how essential that movement was to quality of life of the people in the 20th century.
When you grow up you get fed this idea that progress and decent living conditions came top down and weren't bled for by workers fighting for their rights and the media plays their part in that charade.
@AnthonyJK Dick Cheney endorsed her. Not because he suddenly became left wing but the DNC became the Paleo Conservative shithole his own party was mroe than 20 years ago.
Cant wait for libs in 20 years scoldingly telling leftists that their party is for less starvation in Death camps and therfore the moral choice.
@hannu_ikonen @Kierkegaanks Even after 20 years of learning where the term banana Republic came from, i am still baffled that the US Goverment overthrew democracies for bananas.
Thats Saturday morning Cartoon villain shit.
@AnarchoNinaWrites ITs also a way to limit political actions.
Lukewarm neoliberal centrism as the only "left" position.
They keep telling everyone that progressive or leftists policies dont get you votes and thats where this "We ran the perfect campaign" shit really stinks.
@AnarchoNinaWrites Blue Anon nonsense.
They also started their own version of "Stop the Steal"
@AnarchoNinaWrites @ciggysmokebringer @AnthonyJK @waitworry Correct. Thats also why i came fully on board of anti-electorialism.
The ballots only contain status quo or fascism that shit wont fly in the face of climate change.
I am oddly hopeful about the Trump Presidency. People seemed more inclined to listen during his shtishow and the Biden admin fostered a kind of complacency in libs that was disheartening.
@AnarchoNinaWrites @AnthonyJK @waitworry I hope its also what people mean but cant convey.
Half of the time i have had rewritten my comments 8 times so they are readable and get the message across.
About the topic Crimethink wrote this:
"Because neoliberal globalization has made it difficult for state structures to mitigate the impact of capitalism on ordinary people, no party is able to hold state power for long without losing credibility."
Thats also more along the lines AnthonyJK argued.
@ciggysmokebringer @AnarchoNinaWrites @AnthonyJK @waitworry Like people are too deep in the sauce of party politics to really get it? I agree.
Here in Germany we have two "centre left" party's that went deep into neoliberalism due to "electability".
The older of the two, the SPD, is a 150 years old former marxist party, that currently bleeds voters and members but no course change in sight.
The Greens pulled the same shit around the same time.
Point being that this type of crap is global.
@ciggysmokebringer I am always reminded of the Göbbles quote we learned in school about why a combative democracy is a must:
" We enter parliament in order to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its own weapons. If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets and salaries for this bear's work, that is its affair. We do not come as friends, nor even as neutrals. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come."
Libs only know how to fight with ballots.
@ciggysmokebringer They also cry about voter suppression and misinformation as if that isn't fascism 101 since 1945:
The only time That shit could have been stopped if there were real consequences after Jan6 but apparently trying to overthrow the goverment wasn't ringing Alarm bells in the DNC.
@newstephie Basically people on mastodon.social cannot interact with them as much. Something like removing yourself from a group chat.
I hope that helps ..
Well good news you dont need another account or App!
usually you go to https://social.zvavybir.eu to change your account adress
but this doesn't work and apparently they arent defederated anymore?
IDK i am very confused right now.
There is this book : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Blow_Up_a_Pipeline
Where one of the main questions is when we start to fight back in a way thats effective.
Because the voting and endless protest even making laws and not acting on them (looking at you Germany) are doing very little to prevent the return of The 'Thermal Maximum 2.0 The Reckoning'
Which was also my favourite part of the Democrats recent gaslighting: praising their climate bill that was less worth than the paper it was printed on.
@GNUmatic @hannu_ikonen I had faint hopes for the Ampel.
Got squashed as soon as Lidners talks with Porsche came to light and somebody reminded me of Olaf Scholz involvment with Wirecard.
The Greens and the SPD both embraced neoliberalism which Kabinett Schröder showed in 1998 and yet i still clung to hope.
At least we can bury the notion that the Realo vs Fundie discourse in 90's ended up. Realpolitik does not trump idealism.
@phaedral Maybe you are right. But I dream of a better world. I hope you do too someday.
In a odd way Harris losing the election further cementing my belief in anarchism.
I hate to quote Lenin of all people but : "'Fascism is capitalism in decay'"
Liberal Democracy always goes the way of the Weimar Republic and the myth of societal progress should now be carried to the grave. #anarchism #uspol #collapse
My first pang of disgust with liberals is when George W. Bush danced into Ellens show and people were like : "maybe we were overly harsh with him".
@AnthonyJK There is no one cause for Romes downfall but a very interesting aspect of it are the deaths of the Gracchi Borthers.
To quote Wikipedia:
They have been received as well-born and eloquent advocates for social reform who were both killed by a reactionary political system; their terms in the tribunate precipitated a series of domestic crises which are viewed as unsettling the Roman Republic and contributing to its collapse
