Who says I don’t have will? You can’t vibe material conditions into changing, expecting Socialism to be built by the will of the people is idealism.
You have to build it, with your hands.
Actually, this town has more than enough room for the two of us
He/him or they/them, doesn’t matter too much
Who says I don’t have will? You can’t vibe material conditions into changing, expecting Socialism to be built by the will of the people is idealism.
You have to build it, with your hands.
By vibing it into existence? Can’t. It must be built through organizing and revolution.
Read theory.
You’re misreading me. Change happens every day. Socialism is the answer
You mean just vibing a revolution into action?
That’s why I am recommending you read theory. For the why of Capitalism’s inevitable demise, Wage Labor and Capital and Value, Price and Profit both do a much better job of actually explaining the inherent unsustainability of Capitalism.
What?
Marx definitely foresaw that possibility, his conclusions are more that if there aren’t grand wars or famines eliminating everyone, Capitalism itself cannot last forever, which is far more comforting than assuming socialism can vibe itself into existence.
The wealthy Capitalists that fund the DNC (and GOP, of course) didn’t want it to happen, so it didn’t. The US isn’t very democratic at all.
Just read theory, it’s not that hard, and people have been discussing how to get out of this Capitalist hellhole for hundreds of years.
Do you think that making immigration so difficult so that you create an underclass of workers below your citizenry you can domestically super-exploit for super-profits is causing housing issues?
Hey, I became a lot more hopeful for the future after reading Marx. Capitalism does indeed suck, but it’s unsustainable.
Talk to trans people about how they feel about lumping anti-trans views into the “transphile” category because rather than being hated outright, chasers simply prey on trans individuals and undermine their gender identity in a sickeningly fetishizing way.
Just touch grass.
Layers and layers of anti-socialist propaganda and misdirection.
I’m not stupid, I know it means “fear of.” Do you think Homophobes are “afraid” of gay people? What abiut transphobes? In the context of bigotry, phobia is used to refer to invalidating or undermining ones sexuality, gender identity, etc.
Literally talk to a trans person, or just read through that thread, it isn’t difficult.
I wrote a lot more than 1 sentence in the beginning and linked a good thread with a bunch of trans individuals discussing said topic. They aren’t adding anything, just playing semantics with philic vs phobic.
Did you read the original reddit thread? Chasers are dangerous to the trans community. It isn’t about being attracted to trans individuals, it’s about specifically seeking them out for being trans and fetishizing them being trans.
Can you not see how this may look if you are the trans person in this relationship?
Capitalists have their own power. Coming from wealth and private ownership.
And socialists also have their own. Coming from equality and collectivity.
What power do Socialists have in a Capitalist system? This makes no sense.
But I think expecting everything to be all nice, free, equal and collective is too good to be true. You have to be competent, useful and valuable to society.
Who is saying that everything should be “nice, free, equal and collective?” What does that word salad even mean? Why do you think Socialists wouldn’t be useful to society, and why do you think parasitic Capitalists are useful?
I have a friend and neighbor that is 68 and never worked in his entire life. Now, he’s quite intelligent but he decided to live on welfare his whole life because he could. I have absolutely zero respect for that. You talk so much about exploitation and abuse. Here’s an example of someone who abused and exploited a socialist system with his laziness and uselessness.
Not only is Welfare not Socialism, but this person has stolen far less from the Workers than Capitalists do every single day.
Please, read theory. It’s clear that you’re just vibing your takes and don’t actually understand the underlying mechanisms.
Fetishizing is also phobic.
You don’t understand how undermining someone’s gender identity by focusing on them being trans over them being their expressed gender is transphobic?
No, chasers are people that specifically fetishize transwomen or transmen for being trans.
Yes, and thus there is a tendency for the rate of profit to fall.
