  • Ok, so if it hurts the party's image being pro-genocide, they can solve it very easily right now while they're in government

  • Last I checked the SPD's party program still speaks of socialism

    I'm sure the SPD party program talks about the end of capitalism /s

    Again, not here to engage with smug factionalists. Have a good day

  • You're right that they ignore the science and the facts, that's why they're holding the positions they hold (climate change denialism, prohibition of abortion and gender reassignment, austerity policy, etc.) The problem IMO isn't so much with the individuals as it is with the propaganda apparatus. It's clear that people can be indoctrinated into such things, and much worse actually (see nazism), so instead of focusing on whether the individuals are arguing from bad faith or not, I'd rather blame the propaganda apparatus that turns them into ghoul, and not just blame it but put the focus onto it.

  • Harris openly said in the DNC convention that she believes in "Israel's right to defend itself", while not letting any pro-palestinian talk in the convention (cops had a representative though). It's painfully obvious.

  • there’s already a term for socialists who tolerate capitalism, it’s social democrats

    Social Democrats don't want a transition to communism, not even ideologically. Dengists and Mensheviks do, at least ideologically. Whether you believe that or not is a different debate, but equating socialdemocrats with mensheviks is dumb, not a dunk.

    why did they implement, and I quote Lenin, state capitalism

    Look, I'm not here to argue for Marxism-Leninism against you because you're obviously trying to be smug, not trying to have a civilized discussion. If you actually want some good (in my opinion) analysis of actually-existing socialism, there are plenty of Michael Parenti videos online, or you can pick up his book "Blackshirts and Reds". But I suspect you're just here to punch to those communists that are further left than you are. If you do want to have this discussion let me know.

  • You could be less condescending, I think I've been quite clear in my comment but maybe you don't understand because of the language barrier (I'm not a native speaker). Can you make the effort to consider that there exist actual countries that for the past decades have engaged in no war against any other country?

  • The party is literally in the government right now. Biden is a rotting corpse who is obviously not making the decisions for US international policy, so the arm deals with Israel are with the full consent and approval of all the democrat elites. Harris won't change this as it hasn't changed for the past 80 years.

  • Milei managed to improve on the deficit a lot! Turns out all you needed to do is to put 3/4 of your country in poverty and destroy 3.4% of GDP in a year! And you'll solve inflation as well, prices can't rise if people don't have money to buy things!!

  • Deficit is a good thing for the most part. It literally means by definition the government is putting more money into the economy than it's extracting, which increases the capacity of families and businesses to save and to spend. Surplus means, by definition, that it's collecting more money from the economy than it's reinvesting into it, which literally, by definition, makes people poorer.

    The problem isn't with deficit itself, public expenditure is cool, the problem is where it's spent. We want fewer corporate bailouts and fewer corruption schemes, and more investment in education, healthcare and pensions.

  • As a guy who's absolutely in the far-left camp, and at risk of being exactly what the post is complaining about, I'm sorry but you're being tribalist and delusional. Many conservatives try and argue from what they consider "good faith", it's just that their moral compass has been destroyed by conservative propaganda. Many conservatives actually believe that unborns have souls and are people, and that abortion is murder, even if it's a clearly wrong moral position. Many conservatives do believe that immigration is hurting their countries and they're making their country a better place by opposing it. Many do believe that reducing labour regulations will end up boosting the economy for the benefit of everyone. The fact that they're demonstrably wrong in most of it, doesn't mean that they're necessarily arguing from bad faith.

    Please tell me on how many international wars countries from Latin America have engaged during the past 3 decades. Maybe, you know, let's do what they're doing in that regard?

  • You're absolutely ignoring their comment. If democrat voters showed a spine and conditioned their vote to an end to the genocide, the democrat leadership may decide that it's worth it to cater to these voters to win the elections if that's what they want. By enabling all their actions through "vote blue no matter who" you're just degrading the democracy further, and postponing the choice 4 more years during which nothing will happen.
