The battle against trumpism has only begun. The trumpist oligarchs should watch their backs

"the most moral army" is a fractally wrong statement

@pvonhellermannn

I believe that public ownership of the means of production is looking increasingly necessary for a sane response to climate change, the maintenance of a democratic society, and the enduring presence of human life on this planet.

If asking politely made change, America would be much better off than it is now

"A bit too far" is letting tens of thousands of working class people die from preventable diseases every year.

@br00t4c what a coward

"Free Land for Auschwitz"

The people of South Korea stopped an auto-coup
The fight against Georgian Dream marches on
The Rojava revolution is raging on
The international movement against the Gazan genocide continues
Our comrades in France and Britain are currently fighting against the neofascist insurgency

This is the reason to hope. As long as there are people in the world who fight for freedom, liberty, and socioeconomic justice, the forces of oligarchy and neofascism stand no chance!

We together can resist the hostile takeover! We together can embrace the fight for civil liberties, for full employment, and socioeconomic justice! We together will win the battle for democracy, but only if we fight!

Resist!

Free software is proof that humanity is capable of nurturing nice things, and gives me hope for a better future.

I am increasingly convinced that capitalism is a terminal illness for humanity.

Is America even a little socialist for owning the public libraries and parks?

@Radical_EgoCom @IndyHermit @FisherPeter

I dispute this.

The USSR should be understood the way it was, not the way it claimed to be. Isn't that the spirit of historical materialism anyways?

Given the historical development of the USSR, it would be most accurate to say it was distinct from socialism, state capitalism, and communism. It was a hierarchical, state society where the working class had essentially no power over the economic process. The process of accumulation in the USSR was significantly different from both socialism and capitalism.

The USSR was the result of a Blanquist coup by a developmentalist and fierce clique of highly dedicated revolutionaries, and from the start was a perversion of the democratic vision of proletarian rule envisioned by Marx and Engels.

@IndyHermit @Radical_EgoCom @FisherPeter

Keep in mind that most countries where ostensibly socialist revolutions took place were underdeveloped, essentially emerging from feudalism. In addition, the Bolsheviks and their supporters worldwide were themselves not really advocates of things like worker's self management or participatory democracy.

I would argue that "Communism" as seen in practice was, in reality, a form of Jacobinist developmentalism, near-totally divorced from the actual intentions or beliefs of the first socialists.

@IndyHermit @Radical_EgoCom @FisherPeter

The USSR was communist in the same way Robespierre's France was democratic.

Trump "joked" about being president.
Remember that.

"The first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the position of the ruling class, to win the battle of democracy"

- Karl Marx, the Communist Manifesto

Trumpism will burn in time. Just watch, and do your part to accelerate the triumph of the democratic movement. (Lowercase d)

The post-war consensus relied on a tenuous class compromise. It was fundamentally unstable because it was conditional on endless growth, a condition that is unable to be maintained. It lasted roughly half a century. That's not a long period of time.
