Who gives a fuck? The car isn’t decorated for you it’s decorated for its owner. Same goes with how a person chooses to dress or decorate their body.
Ultimately just another form of “your body exists for my enjoyment”.

This is not true. Anyone that clicks anything remotely socialist immediately gets fed with the completely opposite, gommunism no food and 100gorillionbillion deaths propaganda. It immediately tries to lead people to the opposite.
The capitalists will even sell you the rope that hangs them.
“Speak to eastern europeans!”
“Wait not those ones!”
the west is leading the charge in embracing the queer community
Cuba has the world’s most progressive and inclusive legislation affecting lgbt people as of reforming their Family legislation actually.
I think you’ve really got a warped perspective on this. China has more protests than every other nation. And they don’t just disappear people for criticism. That is reserved for those actively fomenting revolution just as you say it does in the west. This site is obviously intended to be anti-China propaganda but I have a quite different take on it, what you’re seeing in this data is actually the real quantity of protests that China perfectly allows. In the last 12 months 1196 protests have occurred and I assure you the hundreds of thousands of protesters involved in those events aren’t “disappeared”. It would be utterly absurd. In just a few years you’d have nobody fucking left in the country. So this data is, in my opinion, useful to demonstrate the quantity of allowed demonstration rather than the quantity that is prevented. It’s shit like the hong kong attempt at literally overthrowing the government with shady western support that get real murky.
What exactly do you think happens to people that actually threaten capitalism?
The issue isn’t “speaking out” about problems. The issue is people attempting to overthrow the socialist system. Capitalism disappears and murders those of us that attempt to overthrow it just the same. You’re allowed to speak about problems so long as you are not actively trying to overthrow governments while doing so (and being effective at it). If you’re effective you end up like everyone in The Jakarta Method, like Allende, or like Assange. The US operates hundreds of blacksites all over the world and yet people pretend that people aren’t disappeared for being a threat to it. The lack of self awareness is perplexing.
Corbin saying that those regimes on balance did more good than harm is not the same as directly defending genocide as some of the programmers of this site do.
This is literally what all MLs believe. All MLs acknowledge the mistakes of past socialist experiments the people that don’t are a literally tiny insignificant number of people inflated into a meme that is used to attack socialism in general. There are only too positions that have been used to create this myth and that is the idea that holodomor was intentional (it absolutely was not) which is used by nitwits to claim a genocide was performed by way of famine, and the xinjiang issues that were inflated into nonsense and then backtracked on by the US state department.
The point generally is that tankie is a nonsense word used to attack the entire left and eliminate nuance. It prevents conversation. It is a thought-terminating word dumped into conversation by everyone that opposes socialism as a means of preventing any and all discussion that might make people think critically or understand any nuance that people in the left actually have.
lol when was it apolitical? As far back as 2010 it was getting mentioned on TV by liberal media for starting the Restoring Truthiness movement.
Your memory is awful, or you haven’t been on it that long and are just making up its history to suit yourself. The earlier days of reddit’s politics were mostly liberal. Although liberals were significantly more awful on social issues back then than they are today.
So like defending Mao, the USSR and praising and recommending the Black Panthers, who met with government of north korea and defended juche thought then. Like, literally everything I just linked to above?
Lmao what part of “my job is to overthrow capitalism” do you not understand?
Alright but like, which states aren’t then?
Like, if none of them aren’t which I assume is your take (I was an anarchist myself until the climate crisis started hitting hard so I have some sympathy for anti statism myself) and you can see that socialist states provide a better quality of life than capitalist states when compared at an equal level of development, surely you can admit that one is a lesser evil than the other? But that’s not what the people shouting about “authoritarian states” functionally do with their rhetoric, functionally they defend capitalist states and uphold the status quo by forming part of the opposition to the end of capitalist states and the formation of socialist ones.
He’s also an antisemite.
IT’S TWENTY TWENTY THREE AND NEOLIBERALS ARE STILL SAYING THIS RUBBISH
Embarrassing.
Depends on the day of the week to be honest. I’m a socdem some days, I’m a demsoc other days, and I’m a revolutionary on others. Right now I’m mainly calling myself a trade unionist, but I won’t tell you which union I organise for 😘😘😘
Enjoy the strikes though.
Give it a rest with the fake news. Anti-zionism is not anti-semitism. Opposing Israel is not anti-semitism. And the claims of antisemitism in labour being terrible were always fucking nonsense. The extent of this being nonsense were all unveiled in The Labour Files investigation, I strongly advise you watch it.
It’s fucking absurd that you neoliberals are still pushing this rubbish in 2023 lmao. Embarrassing.
Keep telling yourself that the amazon union just spontaneously appeared out of thin air and wasn’t the result of an absolutely massive organised salting effort by socialists then. Just deny reality.
Can you define what you mean by “authoritarian” in a way that doesn’t include actions the US does ? What is authority in your mind?
The compulsion that you feel to distance yourself from past proletarian movements so that your attackers won’t associate you with the supposed atrocities of those movements only functions to move you further and further right. It doesn’t work because the attackers will do it regardless of how much you moderate yourself. This instinct leads you to not only distance yourself from their own goals, and to condemn your own movement, but to uphold reactionary lies about our movements, sometimes even outdoing those lies by exaggerating them, in order to further emphasize the attempt to distance. It doesn’t matter how much we try to twist and turn and distance ourselves from atrocity propaganda, rubbish will be heaped upon the graves of working class leaders.
Functionally all this compulsion does is move you rightwards. You are attempting to make yourself more appealing to the right because you think that doing so will magically make people on the right suddenly like socialist politics. In the meantime they will attack you with every single piece of propaganda regardless, and you will moderate yourself even more. This deradicalises the movement and blunts the radical edge it requires to get things done.
It’s exactly the same compulsion that liberals have that has caused them to move further and further right over the decades. Every time they get called a communist by the republicans they desperately try to move rightwards in order to get it to stop happening, it will never stop happening though because it is not said in good faith, and the tactic of accusing them of it works well in moving them right.
I absolutely agree. I also think the irritating environment created by the current digital red scare trend will eventually subside once they move onto some new scare words because the existing ones are losing their edge.
You’re skipping the 11 other parties that are banned. Very free.
