Autonomarx [he/him]

The shit is that if Sanders either got the nomination or grew a pair of balls big enough so he would run as an independent, he would beat both in a landslide

Fourth no? Military dictatorship, Menem, Macri, and then Milei.

Maybe Melina was just a huge Cinemasins fan?

Ah yes, the perfect investment strategy

Didn’t Trump set leaving Afghanistan in motion?

Your claim is wrong because the chance of AOC moving the US towards socialism is 0, exactly the same as Biden or Trump. The US is fundamentally undemocratic. I can see the argument for a Dem presidency (particularly for the climate) but positioning it as somehow revolutionary instead of just voting for PSL, CPUSA, or even the Greens seems unjustifiable to me.

Let’s spend the EV money on a time machine and drop a comically large anvil on Henry Ford

Do you have any specific book recommendations on this?

Found this book at a used store shortly after seeing this post.

You are correct that neoliberalism has already ended. Check out Samir Amin if you haven’t already https://piped.video/watch?v=EEq8OK4BUyM&t=0

It seems like we should have different standards of complicity when it comes to imperial core populations: the highest for those who gain the most benefits from imperial hegemony (e.g. white people), and then a lower one for those with fewer. There are certainly black neoliberals/fascists around, but there’s a different story from self-interest for an Uncle Ruckus. Although it can maybe be said that they simply incorrectly think that they will benefit and act on that, at some level people know where they stand.

The “one ad/one pamphlet” concept is a horrible idea. Reactionary political platforms rely on regressive ideas that have remained in the popular political consciousness for centuries - meanwhile, the positive development of society requires an understanding of complex things that won’t be adequately expressed in such a brief format. Think economic planning, human ecology, etc.

This is a recipe for a cruel, inhumane, and backwards society. In short, bourgeois democracy.

This reads so much like a Mussolini quote that I am stunned it’s actually real (at least as real as any e-quote is).
