The acquisition and accumulation of wealth

There is the problem, you don’t even know how to define capitalism. I would suggest reading “wage labor and capital” and “value price and profit”

Just so you know you can’t defeat fascism without defeating capitalism. I recommend reading “the economy and class structure of german fascism” and “fascism and social revolution”.

In general individual action doesn’t really help address social problems.

Politics isn’t gonna fix what is being undermined and dissassembled in our Democracy right now.

I dont think electoral politics will work but you have to expand your definition of politics if you think electoral politics is all that politics is.

He didn’t though, Jill stein got like 40 percent, Harris and Trump got 20 each.

Honestly this simplification comes off as disingenuous and attempting to play Arab voters are more conservative and backwards.

I think the correct thing to do to give yourself agency moving forward is to project blame onto 10 million people staying home.

I think that this will let you further develop yourself and do the things required to meet your goals.

What do you have agency over right now? Are you part of any democratically run political organization right now?

Press the big communism button together with a few million of your closest comrades

Nonjoking answer, join a socialist org

I mean they’re run federally, ICE is a federal agency

It doesn’t take a lot to go from concentration camps to extermination camps, historically speaking, and the US does have concentration camps for migrants and refugees.

This is vibes based politics.

No, an exploited class noticing their exploitation and some dude thinking he is entitled to having sex with women are not the same actually.

During revolutionary conditions a lot of bodyguards end up, you know… taking stock of where their class interests lie, if you know what I mean.

but doesn’t history teach us that violent revolution more often just begets more violence than actually solves problems?

Nope! Look at the life expectancy increases under socialist countries, they mathematically have less death!

Also compare red terrors casualty numbers to standard operating casualty numbers. Like 20 million people die of capitalism caused deprivation a year worldwide today.

The Nazis couldn’t have done the holocaust without IBM, yeah.

While I agree that Republicans are fascists, isn’t that kind of whataboutism? We aren’t talking about Republicans, we are talking about democrat policy that is more likely to be used on BLM or pro-palestine protestors than some Trump supporters.

Ze protestors are destabilizing our glorious empire, ze must be dealt with harshly for ze peace and stability of ze greater reich! /s

Yes, zwe must defend ze thousand year reich at all costs! Finally someone has ze courage to say it! /sarcasm

It is literally more likely for a socialist revolution to happen in the US than for us to use STV enough to choose the president that way.

The fact that your trans refugee friends continue to suffer is deplorable, but does not mean lgbt don’t have more rights now.

Trans people are experiencing low key genocide but we also have more rights now?

Things are better for some people and still desperately need to improve for many others.

Things are desperately worse for some people and have improved slightly for others.

Genocide of trans people > gay marriage on the impact on the queer community

Literally just target the root cause of the problems, capitalism. All these problems don’t exist in a vacuum.

Affordable Care Act, LGBTQ rights, marijuana reform…not to mention a Black man was president, and a Black woman is the party nominee.

Oh do lgbt people have more rights now? Oh fuck, I’ll let my trans refugee friends know.

I know people who have small children and are still involved in socialist organizing.

Fascism is caused by systemic political and economic factors- basically when capitalist psuedo democracy runs out of runway and the capitalists choose to preserve capitalism over the concessions of bourgeois democracy.

If you care about democracy you have to join a socialist org and fight for socialism.
