I’ve heard liquidate used to describe what vulture capitalists do as well.

Call me out if you think this is bullshit.

Relative to the feudal conception of sex only after marriage as the acceptable form of relations to have (not that people didn’t get around before then), I’d say that it is an improvement to protestant/catholic traditional forms of relations. Various forms of birth control unburdened women the full consequences of free sex.

I suspect that the “free love” movement was kind of a movement for white petite bourgeoisie to just use social justice as a meme to have sex with alot of women. The new term is “sex positivity”, but sometimes that really is just encouraging sexual relationships over relationships that actually promote commitment. I don’t know to what extent this is intentionally promoting people to spend money on dating apps, memes to pretend to be the ideals of masculinity/feminitity over to seduce, but over time the mask slips. This results in therapy. This results in marriages of unhappy people or children without both parents. This produces more miserable people to create more gears for the capitalist machine to keep on running. All of these things cost money to the people and promote GDP growth. Promoting animosity between men and women and rightfully seeing each other as deceitful creates conflict to obscure class relations. Not all people buy into this bullshit but this way of thinking seems to create dysfunctional relationships.

I suspect we should build institutions that can take feminism seriously and encourage relationships that nurture both parties in more complex ways than just sexual ways. This does not mean we fully conform back to the old ways that are trans/homophobic. We can recognize what works in relationships for most people but we don’t need to alienate all of the outliers either. Mental healthcare for all would be a boon for everyone in the society.

An average US citizen’s vote is muddled through several undemocratic layers both institutional and bourgeoisie interests. Its kind of like a funhouse mirror where some votes are counted as greater than other votes, some votes look smaller than they really are, others just are at the wrong angle to be viewed so they are just not counted. It’s kind of why most people don’t bother.

The first primary is with the Bourgeoisie to select which candidates get funding to prevent a candidate from representing proletarian interests from getting attention. Next is the Democratic/Republican primary that one can vote for, but each committee can choose to change the results and that vote is more of a suggestion to the delegates that actually vote. The democratic/republican committee of each state makes its own rules. It could be winner of the state takes all, could be elected district by district, could be decided unilaterally independent of the popular vote in states like Oregon. There is also a spectacle effect of the early voting states that are televised, that make some candidates look more viable than others if they do well in the early voting states.

Next is the final election, which is your vote to decide what to suggest what your electoral college will vote for in your state. Often this is decided by how you vote in your gerrymandered district. Gerrymandered districts exist to make sure that the state government can decide which votes matter by geographically running the district through groups of people the current government would rather not influence the votes in their state. Once again each state can also make up its own rules on how the electors from the electoral college are assigned, sometimes it is winner take all, sometimes it is each electoral district decides how the voter votes. Also techically the elector in the electoral college can choose to be a faithless elector and vote for whoever they feel like without legal repercussions. Also the voter to elector ratio varies state by state.

This process is so complicated most normal people won’t follow this. You can vote on local issues a bit more meaningfully. Just be glad that once this country dies the insane procedures can be abolished for hopefully less maddening procedures of elections.

“These savages had no contact with civilized Europeans at the time. It must have been an advanced alien civilization. Its too absurd to think these savages could have done it themselves”

If these are the conditions that lead to the Russian Federation going socialist, I welcome it. Not like my opinion matters.

Russia really did join China as a last resort.

All ideologies are based on ideas from other places. there is no such thing as a completely unique ideology that shares no characteristics with ideologies in other countries.
