O Canada

These accounts have been around long enough and called out often enough that the mods must want them posting to their communities. And yes, the one on an “anarchist” instance is cringe.

Wrong, Ukraine began ethnic cleansing of their russian-speaking minority in 2024 after the US coup

You mean 2014.

This meme is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. While 98% of self-described anarchists are LARPers, anarchists do exist.

How do you do, fellow feds. Boy howdy do I love America and capitalism; nothing to see here.

That’s not a list of names; it’s a list of regulations.

their houses and businesses

Of course they worry about wealth redistribution, they’re wealthy. That’s why the capitalist class will do literally anything in their vast power to crush socialism.

Yes. I’m not disagreeing with you; I’m just highlighting what a unique moment it was, because most people think that was “normal,” and that we can get back to it, but we never can.

You seem very excited about this subject, maybe you should calm down.

“You are an emotional soyjack and I am a rational chad.”

Redditors, man.

We had a middle class when taxes on the wealthy were 50-90 percent. Unless we bring that back, the ‘economy’ is bullshit.

If you were white and male it was a good deal for one generation. That was an anomalous moment in world history that will never come again. The US was the only major power in the world that didn’t have its productive capacity blown to smithereens in WWII, unions were comparatively strong, and the USSR posed a serious ideological threat to capitalism which caused the bourgeoisie to give (temporary) concessions.

Especially with new leadership.

Zelensky was a comedian groomed by oligarchs. He played a president on TV and then ran for president on TV. This was planned out in advance. Zelensky has never been in control because he was an actor in way over his head, beholden to US comprador oligarchs, and his life is openly threatened by high-level Banderite fascists should he get out of line. And he’s quite wealthy now, an oligarch in his own right. He’s in no way a “servant of the people;” that’s an act played by an actor.

Nor are you, but I am an admin here.

Some of the economic problems were self created because many leftists have zero formal economic backgrounds

That may well be, but at the same time, most economists in the world have a garbage education in neoclassical economics and carry neoliberal brain worms.

✅Tankies are literally dumdum children.
✅Tankies are actually MAGAt trolls.
✅Tankies are bots funded by Putler and/or Xitler.

Biden literally framed it as “democracy vs autocracy.” As if the US has ever been anything close to a democracy.

The results are usually bad when you don’t kowtow to the imperial core, but they’re also likely to be even worse for the majority of people if you do. That’s why monopoly capitalism has to be fought, if we ever want better outcomes to even be possible.

It’s garbage at the level of tabloids, but it may also be a sign of conciliatory overtures toward China.
