  • He seems to be a decent candidate comparatively, though. Yeah sure he sucks in some ways but so did/does Bernie.

    I don’t think it’s very beneficial to sit and nitpick whether this guy is the best embodiment of socialism or piss and moan because of online beef with the People’s Party. We could utilize this election as a way to broaden support for socialism (or, like Bernie, at least popularize being against the status quo).

    Yes, he’s said stupid things about the Soviet Union and Reagan. But he still seems like a pretty decent candidate when compared to others in the US, and while he has no chance of winning under the two-party dictatorship, we could use this to give awareness of socialism a boost.

    Correct me if I’m wrong.









  • Why is polygamy (or in your words promiscuity) inherently worse than monogamy?

    As long as it is acknowledged and agreed upon by everyone involved, there should be no issue. The only problem comes when one person thinks it’s monogamy and the other breaks that trust.

    The social player thing is not just a woman problem, in fact I’d say it’s worse coming from men. As another commenter said, men do that shit all the time and only when women start to engage in similar behaviors does it become a problem. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with holding certain values for yourself, I myself could never be a social “player” (meaning casually sleeping around, if I’m interpreting that right) and am not interested in anyone who is, but that doesn’t give you or me the right to pretend we’re morally superior in that regard. I guess the only time I’d feel comfortable shitting on someone is if they’re sleeping around while their partner is unaware. But that could just be trauma on my part, someone educate me if I’m wrong lol.

    Anyways, I really suggest you take the time to read what some of our comrades here are recommending and digest/think where these thoughts are coming from.





  • I don’t know, comrade. I think you have a good point in surveillance being strong and having unity against China/Russia among most of the population, but this is changing. Not only that, but we don’t need absolutely everyone to be on board, right? That’s kind of the point of the vanguard, if I understand correctly. To have a spearhead of the most educated and dedicated revolutionaries lead us to victory in the interest of the proletariat. Of course, the more supporters the better, and we must remain vigilant in maintaining the people’s interest, but it is not required that 51% or whatever magic number of people are properly educated and radicalized.

    Also, if we just sit back and wait for the situation in the global south to get to a point where revolution is viewed as “ripe” in the US, too, we will run out of time. With climate change breathing down our necks, there is no time for waiting. Revolution must happen at some point in the US and no matter what it is going to be incredibly difficult. No sense in waiting until they destroy the world, I say.

    What do you think?




  • First they need to ‘organize, organize, organize’

    That is kind of what I mean. I don’t mean just throw yourself into a suicide mission or anything like that. I just mean like, it doesn’t even seem like those in the US want to organize. They won’t even start the process of revolution. I don’t really understand how even those in the labor aristocracy don’t want something to change though. Sure, we import exploited labor’s value here and have better circumstances, but they still aren’t that great. Those who make a good living are still chained to the grind, still forced into jobs they often don’t like, still living in a drab, capitalist hellhole. Is it a fear of what they have to lose?

    I feel like it does matter though. It will affect the rest of the world for a very long time. It isn’t like the 20th century revolutions anymore; we have an existential time limit and it is getting very close to being too late to act. Yes, the US will collapse on it’s own due to its contradictions, but if it lives for another 50 years, that fucks the planet and the rest of the world.

    It doesn’t matter much because none of us can do anything alone.

    That’s what I am saying, it’s so sad to see people not willing to unite and make changes.

    I don’t know, my head feels like it has a tornado inside. So many things I don’t know or understand. So much passion and desire to change something. I hate being young and lacking experience lol




  • I use the Comradeship/Freechat community for venting but

    Yes I agree with you. I live in the United States and not to be dramatic but it does seem rather zombified here. It’s really weird, everyone knows things are going bad, that the “bad guys” are winning, they even make little references or comments about it regarding inflation and how nobody approves of our government. But that’s it, just murmurs. Nothing more. Nobody does anything about it or actually says out loud what the problem is, and that further discourages people who KNOW what the problem is from doing anything, too. It’s a terrible cycle and is bound to collapse soon enough.

    I am with you though it’s so tiring being raised and living in a liberal hellscape lol. Education here is capitalist education, not quality education… it is not for the betterment of humanity or the beauty of learning but to create the most profitable worker.
