Drawing the line at genocide isn't a tall order.

"Please do not conflate conservatives with neo Nazis" no conflation needed!

It's also worth noting that nearly every single fascist regime arose from a liberal democracy. People act like it's an insane thought to see it happening in the U.S., but....

Facebook loves to platform fascists, but if you fight back against those movements you get your account banned.

The "big lie" is a very common trait in historical fascist movements.

"A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit."

Even if revolution is not achieved in our lifetimes, we should be planting the seeds in future generations to secure a better tomorrow.

"If one really wants to change the system and not just superficially, it will be necessary to destroy capitalism de facto, expropriating those who now control all social wealth, and immediately set about organizing, on a local basis, and without passing through legal channels, a new social life."

I think many people are also too submissive to put their foot down at the risk of police violence. It feels very much like a learned behavior from the various hierarchies we're subjected to and don't dare question, and the imbalance of power in that situation can make people crumple.

"If you are one of us", he continued, "you will realise that the magic of Christmas depends on Father Christmas’s system of production, not the stores’ attempts to seduce you to consume useless luxuries".

Do anything for social organization that you have the power to do, it will do far more than only voting every 4 years while expecting the state to solve the rot present within capitalism and neoliberal state systems.

The part where there is no feasible ideological line to draw between the neo-fascism Trump engages in and the theory that Marx wrote unless you do some extreme "Nazis were actually socialists" stretching. Highly suggest some Umberto Eco or Paxton so you can deconstruct these notions you have.

That is a laughably bad understanding of Marxism.

Revolution takes more than arms and ammo, it requires the development of dual power structures to rival those of the state and capital. Social organization is vital to a conducive revolution, and especifist literature provides many avenues to achieve this.

Removing a brutal dictator like #Assad is not yet liberation. #Syria will only be free when its people are free from all oppression - when its diverse communities govern themselves in full democratic autonomy.

The model of #DAANES represents the best hope for a truly free Syria.

The state simply does not have the ability to provide liberation for workers and marginalized folk alike. Any attempt to do so sanitizes a message at the very best.

Happy to see Zoe here, check out her work! Just started Means and Ends and highly recommend buying it.

132 years ago this cartoon was drawn, and in 132 years the problem has only gotten worse.

Side note: I see a lot of folks here that live in the AANES, and I would love to learn more about the region and history. If you're willing and come across this, please feel free to provide any additional literature and ways that individuals can help the movement! #AANES

The Ecology of Freedom by Murray Bookchin takes a deep dive into his view of social ecology; the notion that problems within society create problems within our ecosystem. His work was integral to Abdullah Öcalan, leader of the PKK.

"Bread for all, and roses too!" - Helen Todd

One could only hope the U.S. gains the class consciousness it once had! Neoliberalism has done a fantastic job at fragmenting workers since the labor wars, lots of work to be done to get back to that point.

A paper could be written about how "defenestration" as a term gained significance during the labor wars in the U.S.

I don't understand what win big businesses will glean from this. Before the NLRB, business owners just got thrown out of windows and down mineshafts to get rights for workers.

And laborers that will die members of the working class will always have a reason to defend their oppressors. Not everyone is into feudalism 2.0, my apologies that you cannot see your ideology through to its extent. Company towns are so 100 years ago.

You're gonna go nuts when you learn about how power and wealth flows under capitalism and how it generally does not reach the lowest members of society, but I'm guessing an analysis on power might be a bit too much legwork.
