BADBASEMENT

@abbiedaniaa @heavennwatchers no, it’s not 😭

@heavennwatchers Fake woke keep forgetting that feminism is all about choice

i think this is the dumbest "gotcha" that people try to pull on prison abolition. like okay, well under the current system they barely ever get charged, rehabilitation stats are terrible and we let them become presidents and billionaires and control the world?

How do I cope with negative feelings from being forced to live in Pedophile Hitler World

trump is starting a war with venezuela over a drug cartel that doesn't exist to install a right wing puppet president who will sell the largest known oil reserves on earth to exxon mobil and we all need to take it more seriously

my most boomer take is that being endlessly gentle with yourself all the time and never forcing yourself to do anything you don’t want to do isn’t self care it’s lazy and it’s bad for you

happy halloween 🫶🏽🥀

Daily reminder that everywhere communists have been in charge, literacy rates and life expectancy have gone up. In 28/30 quality of life comparisons socialism outperformed capitalism.

@inherentlyso @emptimas @hugetreeguy @VitalistInt if that were even remotely true (it’s not), every person who has ever been evicted and their children would be anti-capitalist right now and that is not even close to being reality.

@emptimas @hugetreeguy @VitalistInt nah, getting an eviction notice when your landlord is bought out by a private equity firm, at the same time as all your neighbors, is a moment when the capitalist social relation that Marx spilled so much ink over is laid bare.

oh no, the discourse is coming back. let's skip ahead: marx developed a theory of capital, not a theory of suffering. we all know suffering. but our suffering alone does not teach us how capital works. for that, we have to actually study things intentionally.

First paragraph of state and revolution

Zohran issuing statements calling Cuba and Venezuela dictatorships as Trump gears to invade is some real peak shameless opportunistic slop from a campaign thats only become more eager to abandon leftist convictions to appease political interests and liberal pundit sensibilities.

A story in three parts:

@myyearofhateand maybe the more people lean right politically they lose talent and creativity lol

I always say the reason why liberals who love Che Guevara enough to plaster his face on t-shirts everywhere simultaneously demonize Fidel as a tyrant is because one got to live a long life and the other was shot dead by the CIA. If Che was alive, they would hate him just as much.

"I wasn’t against communism, but i can’t say i was for it either. At first, i viewed it suspiciously, as some kind of white man’s concoction, until i read works by African revolutionaries and studied the African liberation movements. Revolutionaries in Africa understood that the question of African liberation was not just a question of race, that even if they managed to get rid of the white colonialists, if they didn’t rid themselves of the capitalistic economic structure, the white colonialists would simply be replaced by Black neocolonialists. There was not a single liberation movement in Africa that was not fighting for socialism. The whole thing boiled down to a simple equation: anything that has any kind of value is made, mined, grown, produced, and processed by working people. So why shouldn’t working people collectively own that wealth? Why shouldn’t working people own and control their own resources? Capitalism meant that rich businessmen owned the wealth, while socialism meant that the people who made the wealth owned it. I got into heated arguments with sisters or brothers who claimed that the oppression of Black people was only a question of race. I argued that there were Black oppressors as well as white ones. That’s why you’ve got Blacks who support Nixon or Reagan or other conservatives. Black folks with money have always tended to support candidates who they believed would protect their financial interests. As far as i was concerned, it didn’t take too much brains to figure out that Black people are oppressed because of class as well as race, because we are poor and because we are Black. … [Earlier in my life] When someone asked me what communism was, i opened my mouth to answer, then realized i didn’t have the faintest idea. My image of a communist came from a cartoon. It was a spy with a black trench coat and a black hat pulled down over his face, slinking around corners … I never forgot that day. We’re taught at such an early age to be against the communists, yet most of us don’t have the faintest idea what communism is. Only a fool lets somebody else tell him who his enemy is… It’s got to be one of the most basic principles of living: always decide who your enemies are for yourself, and never let your enemies choose your enemies for you."

@shaTIRED “that ONE issue” and the issue is genocide…… like…..yeah i’ll die on that hill. you sound like a ghoul. log off

palestine is a really important issue and i hate every single elected/formerly elected official’s stance on it (including kamala’s), but y’all are silly af if y’all can only see that ONE issue, please don’t piss me tf off

no shade but this is also why the “kamala and trump are the same” shit literally made zero fucking sense to me, in what universe?
