alsaaas

this is not supposed to be a "gotcha" or anything like that

I'd just like to make you aware that in the sense of preventing invasion from the RF, NATO is kinda redundant, since the EU has a mutual defence clause that would trigger in such a case

DS9-era Star Trek: beware of the corruption and moral decay that comes with secret agencies, laws do not matter to them. Is all that rly worth it, even if it is in the name of "national security"?

Discovery-era "Star Trek": We cooperated with the CIA to make the depiction of Section 31 more realistic and now we are making a separate film about them 🤠🤠

no one ever said anything about boycotting the vote. If you think trying to curb unconditional support for genocide equals Trump, that's on you. Ofc one should vote blue in a swing state, but don't act like it's a good thing that'll fix anything. Strategic and conscious voting may be necessary but is by far nor enough political action

your bourgeois state needs NATO, not the working ppl living in Poland

In an inter-imperialist war, shouldn't socialists from an outside country support neither side and shouldn't socialists from a country participating in said war employ revolutionary defeatism towards "their own" bourgeois state?

the answer to a regional imperialist power is not the largest imperialist block in the history of humanity(!)

after all, a socialist has no country and belongs to no nation. just like working ppl everywhere

EDIT: cmiw but isn't supporting one bourgeois state over another and thinking of it as "one's own" contrary to anarchist thought?

unfortunately neither Sanders, AOC, nor Warren are real solutions and never will be the solution. They mostly pay lip service to progressive causes but then actually support atrocities like the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia (in Sanders' case).

their job seems to be to "capture" progressive support and then endorce the reactionary candidates they actually plan on pushing. And even if they were to come to power, the best case is a renewal of capitalism so that it may exist another year/decade/century

as the DNC has become beyond repair

that is the case with the whole of the USA, it's beyond repair and in dire need of abolition if humanity is to have a future. Bourgeois "democracy" is inherently designed to halt real progress and to preserve the private (not personal!) property of the rich and the economic system that makes it possible in the first place (capitalism).

One viable future would be a socialist council democracy as one of the few true solutions

pls don't let all the liberal downvoting discourage you. posts like this are more than welcome here <3

If Harris were actually leftwing, she'd pull that lever instantly, burn NATO to the ground, crush Isn'treal and many other based things

but alas, she is just the "good" cop of the bourgeoisie

(which essentially just means slapping BLM, LGBT and "feminist" stickers onto the bombs she drops wherever Wall Street requires it)

classic lol

parasites at "work"

preach!

rly? From my perception it's a rare case that it's used coherently.
And as I said more often than not, just as a "someone to the left of me" or "someone I don't like"- type slur

Wish I could do that as well but I have to mod their shit TwT

That's one of the few good definitions tbh

However, most of the time liberals or so called social democrats/democratic socialists just say 'tankie' to everyone to the left of them
