I mean what you saw last night is exactly why your revolutionary movement will be snuffed out. If the fascist has that kind of popular support, there is no revolution, only martyrdom. Maybe civil war.
All of these so called anti fascists sure do seem excited about a fascist being elected
It’s more illustrative of how liberals and progressive consistently suck at messaging and voter outreach because they are always hedging, equivocating or focused on negativity.
No wonder voters don’t engage with that messaging when it’s pretty apparent that even the most enthusiastic progressive barely gets out of bed to advocate for anything other than the new outrage of the day. And I’m not just pointing fingers here - I am definitely guilty of this myself.
IS THAT HOWARD DEAN WITH A FOLDING CHAIR??!!!
We only get to see John King slowly get drunk on live TV once every few years.
This is widely misunderstood. Liberalism doesn’t start with axiomatic capitalism as a first principle, but rather acknowledges that it’s hard to have individual liberty without the concept of individual material ownership. Even most contemporary forms of anti-capitalism have sort of come to terms with the idea that some form of capitalist structure is a near inevitability in the context of material and labor scarcity, and that beyond that you are really just debating different forms of harm reduction. And that’s really the important thing - to understand that we are all just talking harm reduction here. The idea of eliminating capitalism entirely is a bit like curing cancer. It’s a long term goal which requires technology and conditions which simply do not exist at this time, but there is not like some weird faction in the medical community which is ideologically opposed chemotherapy because it doesn’t go far enough, like there is in (outdated) leftist philosophy.
It honestly makes me concerned about the broader security risks of using lemmy. There’s a lot of opportunity for them to target users they don’t like by serving them malicious content via lemmy.ml, and they have shown nothing to indicate that they are above this kind of thing imo.
I legit would not be surprised if Dessalines takes money from some unsavory people to operate .ml as a kind of information war training ground.
User donations are certainly not generating him any real cash flow.
