  • Never admit your mistakes. Always commit.

  • Nobody likes me

  • I see a part of myself in all four of these people

  • Which Korea? Should I be celebrating or outraged?

  • I think there's a real possibility for cooperation between DSA and PSL on this point that I think some locals chapters are in a prime position to exploit.

    The DSA is a club, not a political party. Unless it's members run as independents, they need a Party to run under in most cases. And while DSA can be good for building organizing skills, because of their lack of ideological discipline they lack the ability to create disciplined ideologues and are prone to endorsing opportunists.

    While DSA members cannot join the PSL or vice-versa, there is no rule against DSA endorsing PSL candidates for office or members volunteering for their campaigns. And while PSL branches cannot endorse non-PSL candidates, a common workaround is publishing a "Peoples's Program" of local political demands and asking local candidates to endorse the Party Program.

    In both the Cleveland and Akron branches of the DSA, most active members are either with the Marxist Unity Group (Trots) or Red Star Caucus (MLs). They have different organizational goals from the PSL but, overall, they're Good. I don't want to necessarily generalize my local experience to the entire country, but it seems that the DSA is heading in a more explicitly Marxist direction and I look forward to a future where the DSA serves as a part of the PSL's party periphery.

  • He might just be dropping out of the race to focus on his 2028 presidential bid

  • I think Starmer could be considered a reformer analogous to Stolypin, or perhaps Alexander II. In some ways, Starmer would have been considered a fairly radical social democrat able to appease the working classes, in another time. But now is not the time for moderate reformers who ultimately serve the existing ruling classes.

    And the people who say to "Give Starmer a chance!" are the same who, in 1910, were bemoaning Alexander II and Stolypin's assassinations because "We were just starting to get the reforms we've been asking for - and you radicals blew it for all of us!"

    The time for reform is over. The people demand revolution.

  • He's a one-in-a-million right-winger who has actually learned how to be funny, a lot of it based on self-deprecating humor.

    "> Is obviously a silly little girl, gets offended when I suggest she wears a diaper" is a great example. It only works as humor with the dual-subjects of "I am a creepy diaper fetishist" and "The woman I'm creeping on deserves it for being annoying".

  • Exactly - there's nothing inherently wrong with a group of people within a country, or even an ethnic group, banding together in order to advance their common interests as a People.

    Where do things go wrong? When you ask: "What are the interests of that Nation? And what do you plan to do to advance them?"

    An American Nationalist must realize that it is in the best interests of the nation to maintain Imperialism and exploitation overseas, and depending on how they define their nation, exploitation of immigrants and ethnic minorities at home as well.

  • I think an important difference between how racism manifests in China vs. America is that the Communist Party almost always takes an anti-racist stance. Sure, China has race riots. The difference between China and America is that when the police and army take a side, they're defending the minorities from Han mobs, not the other way around.

  • Signal is great. They always give good coverage for progressive causes.

  • I actually fucking love these pictures and I think the entire country should look like this. Just with more density and pedestrian infrastructure

  • Worldwide Socialist revolution. Creating a society hostile to the accumulation of wealth, where all means of production are controlled by the workers.

  • SHUT UP!

  • I know a bunch of you are going to call me a lib for this. But I canvassed for Sherrod Brown through my union and got to talk to his campaign manager (at the time, the campaign manager for the most well funded Senate race in American history).

    They really do see American politics as this: there is a political spectrum from left to right that all people sit somewhere on. Nonvoters are just impossible to reach, and the way you win votes as a Democrat is to appeal to Conservative values.

    They don't even really consider the possibility of using populist language to appeal to broad swathes of apolitical but discontented people, because that might alienate their candidate from the Democratic Party at large.

  • Rats, rats, everywhere you look

  • Nasser in Egypt, Assad in Syria, Gaddafi in Libya, Hussein in Iraq, Mossadeq in Iran, Assad in Syria - if you challenge Western hegemony over the middle east in any way, you don't last long. Same could be said for Yemen, Afghanistan, Algeria - any Middle-Eastern nation that has flirted with the ideas of Socialism or National Identity.

  • Is Yemen not being considered an Arab State here?
