He’s doing exactly what Trump wants, is he a secret MAGA supporter?

What merits does Marxism have? What fallacies, enemies, violence and censorship does it use to keep from collapsing?

And participating in a circlejerk hating tankies prevents a Trump regime? Belittling potential allies by calling them “useful idiots” is sure to prevent Trump from winning. Keep up the good work. /s

Broad generalizations, I can’t argue against that. Defeated by vaguery again.

How are Marxists-Leninists preventing Social Democracy? They aren’t organized, they have no viable political parties, as far as I know, they don’t even hold any state, or federal offices. It seems your complaints are with the neoliberals that are firmly in control.

Hate “tankies” all you want, but they are irrelevant to what is happening in America. This is punching down because people feel hopeless while facing a Trump re-election. It is unproductive and detrimental to building the unified coalition needed to fight fascism.

It can be. Capitalism as an economic system is efficient at raising industrial standards. Capitalism, as a tool for industrialization isn’t bad.

The problem with capitalism is that it strains social relations within the system by producing inequality of wealth distribution.

Technology-driven changes in production make new social forms possible, such that old social forms and classes become outmoded and displaced by new ones. Once, the dominant class were the land owning lords. But the new industrial system produced a new dominant class: the capitalists. source

Capitalism isn’t evil, it’s a tool. But the social relations capitalism creates is oppressive, and will be dismantled.
