Banned for making bad (and kind racist) “xinnie the poo” jokes, lmfao

They couldn't even finish the 710 because it would require them to domain the rich folk in the hills. So now the city still owns some homes that are going to rot below the hills and they spend (waste) money on cops to patrol/make sure no homeless can squat in them.

The fact that you're so focused on marx is really what showing your ass here. Almost like you're full of shit.

But also I and plenty of others do spend time organizing offline. Turns out I have the free time to both organize offline and post if I want to. Actually I suspect most anyone who does organizing has that much free time.

During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime's atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn't go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them.

If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.

Any day now.

I'm sure you know a lot of these real communists and they don't exist entirely in your head

The government has a long sordid history of violently suppressing which of these groups?

I've talked to enough people with new money to see that the general reason they choose to entrench themselves in conservative or just classical liberal ideals is that they want to protect their own status. Generally, they desperately want to feel like what they have is earned or is because they deserve it. Often they understand, on some base level, that it's all very fucked but their beliefs are not really concretely based on thinking that the system as a whole is correct.

It's honestly very sad to see people I know that struggled early in their lives with poverty switch to this kind of self defense, knowing that all it will actually take is conditions declining enough that they too feel the pain for them to flip back into some kind of class contiousness. What I do know is that I'm never going to date someone again who cries at Elizabeth Warren losing the primary.

The Harry Potter jokes are there for a reason. Most US folk never read a book of their own volition past their school years. You don't need to read a lot, or even read theory at all, but even a nominal amount of personal reading will lend a lot to deprogramming the propaganda.

I usually just suggest the Jakarta method and Manufacturing Consent and if someone won't read those then talking is pointless

I too wish to kiss a girl after my alter ego forms anarchist cells and blows up the major credit reporting company buildings.

How is it brigading when this is one of the top threads on active when browsing hexbear? How is it brigading at all when we can see posts from other instances naturally, without having to jump between them? This isn't reddit.

Copy paste those names and have a gaff
