Yeah liberals are discrediting their own system when they describe it as being forced to vote for a lesser evil under the threat of fascism every election.
Not to say all liberals describe it that way, but if I was a non-political apathetic non-voter, I wouldn’t find that convincing.
There are loads of people who think you can’t demand better from your elected officials. People were out protesting Mamdani for being a liberal zionist and I saw plenty of commenters saying how they must’ve been paid opposition because how could anyone be criticising Mamdani?
You got it wrong. It’s supposed to be strumpet and dink.
These are likely indexing bots. Not all bots are the same. Yandex is a search engine.
It’s really funny seeing you guys yelling at ghosts.
Yeah are we forgetting that Russians exist?
“Lesser evil!”
“No! Not like that!”
Guns could save them from this but the only ones with guns are the ones supporting the policies.
It’d be nice if they just disagreed but instead they hate you for reasons made up by those who enjoy get richer off of people not having their needs met.
Why is this your reaction to my comment calling out someone describing a genocide as “imperfect”?
I feel like it would be more effective to highlight political movements that required changing the status quo of the political landscape all involved more than just voting. Like lgbt rights starting by throwing a brick at a cop or women’s suffrage obvious not coming from women all showing up to the polls to vote for their right to vote.
Basically take a look at any history book and the case is clearly made that effective political change never came from voting alone.
What happens to the working class after they take control? History says they don’t stay the working class. They become the new rich or the new military leaders.
First of all class in the Marxist sense refers to your relation to the means of production. Getting a higher paying jobs doesn’t change your class.
And sure some do become military leaders, because they literally lead a revolution. They proved they were capable military leaders, why wouldn’t they stay a military leader?
And no, they don’t become the new rich. You can look up how much people in government positions in communist governments were paid. They didn’t all become overnight billionaires. And working for the government is a job.
Their revolutions mean nothing because they just use violence as a response to violence rather than taking a holistic proactive approach to the advancement of mankind.
Communism has been successful everywhere they’ve been tried. They all improved the material conditions of their people, improved literacy, and health outcomes. There’s a reason polls show most people who experienced communism preferred it to capitalism.
Can you give some examples?
Dang what socdems do you know. I’d love to meet them.
“unpersons”
This is Lemmy I don’t know why you’re censoring yourself.
“Imperfect”
Looks at imperfection
Genocide
It really weakens your position too. Because people who aren’t familiar with the issue will see one side blatantly strawmanning and when they see the other side not mentioning that at all, they’ll just awesome the first side is full of shit. Even if their positions are corrects.
Go to any left wing space and they’ll never shut up about doing practice and that involves joining and supporting left wing parties.
People were constantly criticising both parties for funding the genocide the entire time there’s been a genocide. You must not be in any vocal communities if you only see criticisms during election times. Pop outside your bubble every once in a while.
Why are you treating actual adults whose job it is is to represent you as being nothing but a misbehaving animal when they don’t do their fucking job.
