The right thinks Joe Biden is a communist, being “a moderate” won’t save anyone.

Why would I be ranting about communists? From where things are now, a communist wants things to move in the same direction I do. Also, when I look at who's to blame for how fucked up things are right now, communists don't even make the list.

It’s like people forget the lessons we learned with the Antiwar movement after 9/11 and the occupy movement a decade later and the BLM protests a decade after that. You cannot advocate for real change in a system this diseased and broken.

Anyone ranting about communists, please think for a fucking second that they call truly everyone a communist.

the problem with most american "lefties" is that they are lazy and refuse to actually do something about what is (and has been) unfolding around us. I personally think it's a lack of organization/leadership from any prominent figure, and if you look at the bolshevik revolution, you see many major /1

figures such as Lenin and many others (im too lazy to do the wiki deep dive to find more). meanwhile, the most prominent person i can think of here is Bernie Sanders, and we don't even have a party with any major prevalence that isn't subservient to the capital class's interests. Most organization/2

i see around "resistance" is either unsuccessful (there were some protest with a crazy small amount of people attending) or stupid "yeah so, we're gonna just not buy things on the 28th. oh, but the 29th? yeah, buy everything you want!".

end of rant.

not 100% on topic but notice these “communism failed in the 20th century” types all gloss over the 500 years of capitalist experiments before a successful global revolution. they dont mind sharing reactionary ahistoricism w fascists as long as it furthers their shared goal of anticommunism

their argument then would be "capitalism isn't perfect but it's the best we have", and to back it up they cite feats that happened under capitalist regimes

problem is, the capitalist class is capitalist because they exploit others to produce. the capitalist class doesn't achieve the feats. (1/2)

Most of the time the successes they cite are the result of socalist countires or the result of pressure from workers. See, the decrease in poverty during the 20th century, they attribute it to captilaism instead of the result of soclaist revolutions in the ussr and China.

if the logic of the "capitalism isn't perfect but it's the best we have" quote is to support the better system for the sake of pragmatism, then socialism is the answer, not capitalism

fasscass.bsky.social•6 days ago

you can even say socialism is what achieved these supposed achievements of capitalism. companies follow the profit motive and would have you work to death if they get the opportunity; suffice it to say, it's certainly not these companies that achieved the weekend for example, it was left-wing groups

We have seen it happen a hundred times before. These demsocs betray the left in order to “save” the system. Rosa died for it and the Weimar collapsed years later. We are seeing it happen in Germany today as well. We are barreling towards conflict with no solution insight except “reform”
