Honestly, imo they lost the election before Gaza even entered the mainstream conversation. The Dems the past 4 years have exhibited nothing but betrayal after betrayal of their constituency. From record deportations of immigrants, to crushing labor strikes, to escalating the trade war with China, to deceiving the public about COVID relief, to bungled natural disaster responses, to lying about Biden’s obvious cognitive decline, etc.

Gaza was just the nail in the coffin.

Absolutely frightening. This technology will eventually trickle both abroad and even be encouraged to use by US police forces.

Not only that, but artists absolutely embue elements from their subconscious into their work. When we talk about the author’s intention, what we’re really talking about is their ego’s contribution to their work. They can give their works meaning that they didn’t consciously intend or even that they disagree with.

Yep. It is almost impossible to exist peacefully here unless you make at least twice as much as the average working person and happen to be born white.

Maybe this is a semantic thing, but communist parties actually don’t force revolutions. A revolutionary situation from capitalist crisis must occur for that to happen. This is clarified by Lenin. Trying to force a revolution before a truly revolutionary situation is an error ultra-left parties and orgs do and it ends up alienating them from the masses.

(Good) communist parties aren’t passive though; they build revolutionary consciousness, provide alternative systems for addressing people’s needs, and form networks with other organizations and unions and ultimately win over as much as the working masses and their allies that they can, so that when a revolutionary situation occurs the people have a party to turn towards. Communists don’t wait; they organize and prepare.

The most recent estimate outside of the US state department is well over 300k. That is taking into account the Lancet’s estimate of 186k by military violence earlier this July and estimating further indirect deaths due to disease and starvation based on previous conflicts of total war against civilians.

Gaza has likely already lost 20% of its population.

Liberal: “Russia is colonizing Ukraine!”

Meanwhile the majority of the country is now owned by Blackrock.
