I haven't seen a good solution to bad guys abusing an anarchist setup.

And I have yet to see MLs plausibly explain the actual mechanics of the withering of the state under a socialist DotP.

Also the whole authoritarian vs anti-authoritarian dichotomy needs some kind of radical reframing imo.

Trump is first and foremost a crime boss. Crypto is perfectly suited for stripping national assets and moving money surreptitiously. Privatizing SS is another opportunity for billionaires to loot the Treasury.

It's all about facilitating crime. Trump wants government to be run like a business: the business of organized crime.

The work hustle culture in the US is massively harmful to men's mental health, not to mention their ability to do effective parenting. Are we fixing this? No, we are just subjecting women to the same toxic culture.

A thought experiment:

It's been nearly a century since the beginning of the New Deal. Arguably it was first (and only) major intervention to contain the worst aspects of unrestrained capital. Ultimately it failed. If you could magically return to any time in the past 90 years, could you *realistically* hope to avert fascism?

Corollary questions:

Is liberal democracy based on capitalism viable?

Is the Democratic Party a dead end?

Is electoralism a waste of energy?

Centrists have cynically hijacked "populism" as a synonym for Trumpism. We really need a vigorous defense of left-populism as the new template to replace the failed market fundamentalism that has handcuffed the Democratic Party.

Yes, I have wondered this. Thanks for the info.

I dispute the very existence of "analog" in those cases where the vinyl is derived from magnetic tape recordings. Magnetic domains on the tape media are *not* analog.

Apologies, missed the original context.

@feditips I seemed to stumbled my way into successfully redirecting my party account to my new one on mstdn social.

I have one question: if the Party server goes offline, will the redirect links still work? Ie, will I still have the migrated followers, settings, etc?
