ROFLMAO this guy literally just equated landlords with minorities. Oh won’t someone think of the poor landlords!

Wait, you guys have read Capital? 😂
- Comment on YSK that everything the New York Times about Donald Trump actually happened 2 weeks ago:
If Trump had gotten his way the first time, we’d be in a fascist dictatorship that is 9 years old now instead of one.
- Comment on Mamdani to kill the NYC AI chatbot caught telling businesses to break the law— New York mayor says terminating the ‘unusable’ bot will help close a budget gap 2 weeks ago:
Fascist tankies? Tell me you’ve huffed capitalist propaganda without telling me you’ve huffed capitalist propaganda. Y’all are miseducated af

I am an ML as are most communists.

I’ve been accused of being a tankie, and I think he’s great. But obviously the McCarthyites of Lemmy would rather create a straw man than listen to anything a red has to say.
- Comment on YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change. There is a general strike in the works across the US for this Friday. 2 weeks ago:
- Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI 2 weeks ago:
Well, Google is an evil megacorp, so not really surprising.
- Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption 2 weeks ago:
Yes, except they’re not leveraging your data for advertising, they’re leveraging it so they can manipulate your political views and keep you from finding solidarity with other working people.
- Comment on Huang declares Israel Nvidia’s “second home” with record-breaking campus investment 3 weeks ago:
The people the West labels as terrorists have been exploited and oppressed for generations. They don’t have the resources to get into Israel and perform meaningful acts of sabotage. Actions like that are better coming from the citizens of Israel who still have a conscience. They could look to groups like Palestine Action, whose sustained sabotage efforts against an Israeli weapons manufacturer lead to the closure of at least one factory in Britain, and led to Barclays bank divesting from the company. Of course, now Palestine Action are labeled as terrorists for that…
- Comment on Slay Girl 3 weeks ago:
Someone one on Lemmy is going to suggest exterminating the tankie ducks now.

I dunno man, killing a genocidal maniac makes someone a hero in my book.
- Comment on Big AI has PC users furious. Nvidia and Micron's weird emotional appeals make it worse 4 weeks ago:
LOL If companies were honest we’d have a socialist revolution within 48 hours.
- Comment on What next, power supply shortages? 4 weeks ago:
Capitalism is a mode of production where the means of production (ie. capital) are owned by individuals who then use that ownership to exploit workers for their surplus labor value to turn it into profit.
Contrary to popular belief, “true capitalism” does not require free markets.
- Comment on ‘ELITE’: The Palantir App ICE Uses to Find Neighborhoods to Raid 4 weeks ago:
This is also what the DNC wants. Vote socialist.
- Comment on With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes? 5 weeks ago:
This has deliberately been done to us. The atomization of our society serves no one but the capitalists (who are the masters of ICE).
- Comment on With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes? 5 weeks ago:
The Black Panthers had so much success at preventing police violence by simply showing up with guns when the cops came that Reagan made it illegal to open carry in California.
- Comment on With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes? 5 weeks ago:
Yes, obviously.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 month ago:
All good points, although I think multiple things can be true, especially when a narcissist like Trump is calling the shots. I suspect he saw the non-renewal as a threat he had to respond to with a disproportionate show of force, and Venezuela happens to tick that box too.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 month ago:
The backbone of the petrodollar is the deal with the Saudis where they agreed to exclusively trade oil in USD. That deal is no longer in place. Furthermore, Iran is reaching rapprochement with the Saudis, and the Trump tariffs have destroyed US trade credibility. The geopolitics of oil are shifting, and not in the US’s favor.
This is the real reason the US wants to steal Venezuela’s oil now. Their global oil hegemony is no longer enforceable through soft power.
So the petrodollar may not be dead today, and it may cling onto life for another decade, but (to my view) the writing is on the wall.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 month ago:
The Petrodollar is dying fast though, with some saying it’s already dead.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 month ago:
China is going to flip the script very soon. They have already overtaken the USA on some economic metrics, their industrial power is growing while the petro-dollar is in its death throes and American trade power is collapsing on every front.
America’s only real power remaining is the military, which is incredibly strong, but maybe not enough to exert power over a world united behind China’s Belts and Roads diplomacy while simultaneously dealing with a divided populous at home.
- Comment on How much money should one person realistically make or have? 1 month ago:
It’s gotta be less dangerous than letting individuals have it. I mean, look around.
- Comment on How much money should one person realistically make or have? 1 month ago:
Just enough to escape capitalism. 5 million invested in stocks means you would never have to work again. Any more than that and you are part of the problem that everyone is trying to escape.
Honestly though, really we should all be working for an escape for our entire species, not individual escape pods.

We have all always had the choice to make politics something that the people do, and not something that is done to us.
