it’s not the system that is the problem, it’s the lack of class consciousness, in America the rich have it, but not the working class

no, SEAT IS VW

that’s the point, there is nothing the US can do

if your internationally sanctioned IP suddenly means a lot less, what is the US going to do? sanction them?

nah, just stick to the AI-Bro and Crypto-Bro

I guess this is the part where I tell you that 90% of what you hear about the killdozer guy is complete hogwash. and a lot of the “documentaries” are about as fantasy as Harry Potter.

the man decided to live in what before was the office area of the garage he bought, was surprised when an industrial building was put up in an industrial zone (why do you think the garage was built there in the first place?) got upset that the city didn’t connect him to the sewer lines for free (it would have required installing and operating a sewage pump alongside the actual sewer lines) and was told to install a septic tank like many Americans. He was then fined for dumping his literal shit into the local water supply.

he was a petty, spiteful, greedy, deranged, vindictive and straight up evil person

go read rand, her books literally advocate for an anti-social world order, where the rich and powerful have the ability to do whatever they want without impediment as the “workers” are described as parasites that should get in line or die

you will sit down and be quiet, all you parasites stifling innovation, the market will solve this, because it is the most rational thing in existence, like trains, oh god how I love trains, I want to be f***ed by trains.

ya, but as an LLC you get a lot of rights that you didn’t have before!

like any true Liber-crypto-bro-tarian, your understanding of crypto is only undercut by your understanding of economics

again, what use does it serve over traditional banking?

even PoS requires a lot of resources in comparison, for a system that literally exists to funnel money to a smaller group of people

Crypto is worse tho, it requires about the same amount of energy as the entire global banking network, but only serves less than a percentage of the transactions

why? what mechanism forces them to lower prices? the same that keep corporate profits at record highs year after year? we recently saw just how silly the idea of competition making anything cheaper is when every, even tho, there was no reason for doing so, started upping the prices of groceries, because they could.

why would you think that any of this effects prices?

the entire idea of the progressive moment is to abolish these hierarchies, then again the American “leftist” understanding is so fucked at this point that I can see you believing this, as most “communists” in the states are tankies, that would also explain the horrible misunderstanding of fascism along imperial lines, because you literally don’t have any other larger critical lens in the states, as most of you aren’t upset about the existence of hierarchies, but just have the feeling that you are not in your deserved spot of said hierarchy

Words DO have meaning, and you just butchered so many of them it’s not even funny.

fundamentally, fascism is the belief that social hierarchies are not only natural but preferable to any other social system that attempts to disrupt said natural order, all other aspects of fascism stem from this one line of understanding

nope, the Marx Leninist idea of a vanguard party doesn’t even purport to be communism, rather the idea that you must go through a phase of state capitalism to grow the nation’s capital after a revolution (revolutions tend to destroy capital) before you can enact communism, it’s just that during the age of ML Fascism was the popular new political ideology, and Lenin did heavily base the idea of the vanguard party on a lot of the same basic understanding as the fascists did.

and of course the fascists did what they do and killed the lefties

do I have to go into the levels of fucked your comment still leave the US at? most of the first world has not just stopped school corporal punishment, no it’s just straight up illegal to beat your child as punishment.

If a parent here gave consent to corporal punishment, with a paddle no less, they would soon see their child in foster care and themselves in front of a judge.

see, the difference is, in the US they already won, tho in the American context liberal s still more progressive than the neo-cons/fascists on the other side

that’s because liberalism in Europe is mainly “liberty” for rich people to do what they want
