  • The lemmy.ml in my name for a reason. My realization moment was while I was in the military ironically enough.

  • Modern Russia is an imperialist shit hole. There you got a straight answer.

  • That's the rub,

    You think government is inherently bad. I think they, and us by reflection are a product of their material conditions. Governments are a reflection of a people's relationship with material. IE - America says "Greed is Good" Ergo we get the corporate profits over people shitfest we have now. The first step towards breaking that hold is education and organization at a community level. So that is where I focus.

    I could get into a big lecture/discussion about Dialectical Materialism, the conditions requiring a vanguard, how that vanguard should be defined ect. ect. ect, how we as a people work to stop capitalist vampirism and "corporatism" (capitalism in a trench coat) - but I don't think that would help.

    Alternatively, I could pull the typical Tankie "Read theory" at this point (and I do think that is what is needed for us to continue this conversation, but I admit it's a copout that doesn't really give you a good starting point. Really though the first 2 pages of the manifesto would give you the gist of what I'm trying to say here.)

    So, where do we go from here? - If you have a suggestion, I would be happy to talk more.

  • EDIT: The post above this was just saying that I was trying to "No u" him, but he called me a bad name, so the mod tagged it, just for context. To be fair, I am saying that it happened and happens in many cases, so I can see the argument, I just think it's inaccurate.

    We both do. I just don't hide from that fact and work to minimize the damage.

  • I don't support any killings.

    Clearly you do. You support a world order that can only survive on exploitation of the global south and developing world. So yes. You do.

    You can pretend all you want. But you benefit from those killings you don't speak out against. That is tacit support.

    We can and should do everything we can to minimize suffering. You want to bury your head in the sand about the killing and suffering needed to support your lifestyle.

  • The same you feel when I ask about the millions killed yearly due to imperialism & capitalist overreach.

  • Inflation?

  • Perhaps I was being overly cynical but last years grocery hike was all of those businesses acting in concert. Which I'm sure is illegal for everyone but the rich...

  • Without a way too keep them from just raising costs to match, raising min wage has a limited effect. Taxes on profit are more effective. Reinvestment or raises should be deductable, tax the everliving fuck out of gross profit for the rest.

  • Israel is not a functional democracy, pretending as much is gross intellectual dishonesty.
