Capital is a vampire-like phenomenon. Nothing to do with a giant hand.

What’s the point of your comment?

And I defend my rights outside lemmygrad/the internet as well. You claim that this is my “method of self defense and resistance against the fascists” as if it is the only I use.

You are very correct. I am fortunate enough to have one family member help me financially alongside the financial aid the social program i am in allows me to have. That said, I am painfully aware that most don’t even have that extra help I happen to have.

I was heavily bullied in high school and i am neurodivergent myself…

I am aware that imperialism funds those programs. Imperialism also funds the high salary of doctors, lawyers, or software engineers etc, and it basically assists everyone in all imperial nations in this way. Of course, I am against exploitation of the Global South. The point however is to eliminate this exploitation and keeping these programs that assists those that are disabled and unemployed.

did the mamdani thing set you off ? genuinely because youre my comrade and i want to understand

I am on welfare and disabled. Every day i fear that the fascists will kick down my door and kill me. Where i live, the fascists are setting up people like me as a scapegoat and i just cant allow that to happen…

I apologize if you are not against welfare programs, but when people talk about the “welfare state” they are indeed talking about those programs.

Just because someone said something in another post that you don’t like does not justify being rude to them in another post

Yes it does. I have the right to defend myself against those who wish to harm me.

doesnt welfare state as we know it today basically prevent revolution. communism is unpopular in northern europe, japan etc. because nobody cares for strugle and fighting when you have it relatively well. this is why mamdami is not good, we dont need you to be comfortable in your imperialist nations…

You just said this in my thread about welfare. So don’t lie and pretend you care about people who are neurodivergents and others who are disabled.

What we call welfare are various government programs where disabled people and/or people who are unemployed can have money and access to affordable housing in order to live and participate in society.

Can a lavatory mean just a sink? Yes, in the American plumbing and architectural trades, a lavatory refers specifically to a bathroom hand sink. It never refers to a kitchen sink, which the industry designates simply as a sink.

That’s where i got my info before making my other comment

I thought about that as well, but apparently, in plumbing, “lavatory” specifically means the sink.

Critical support for secret agents shitting in the lavatories of western politicians

This does not however mean voting for bourgeois parties just because they promise welfare state concessions. Building an independent socialist political movement that does not subordinate itself to bourgeois liberalism is not mutually exclusive with continuing to advocate for the protection and expansion of worker rights and social welfare.

Yeah I understand that. But groups such as the American Communist Party and the Swedish Örebro Party are both pretending to be revolutionary and left-wing, but they also advocate for a conflict between workers and people who happens to be on welfare. My fear is that this crap will mix with a genuine critique of how the welfare system and these benefits are maintained largely through imperialism. So we are witnessing a growing trend here whereby Western workers are told that both “welfarism” and imperialism are bad for them. But this is petty bourgeois consciousness, not proletariat consciousness. These false (read fascist) revolutionary parties will gain momentum as the workers’ cost of living worsen. That’s why I believe all real revolutionaries must explicitly advocate for social benefits and a complete stop to the military industrial complex, and protecting the former and attacking the latter by means of violence.

This logic brings our movement straight into reactionary thinking. Someone who needs “welfare benefits” can also fight for socialism. It’s absurd to claim that those who need social assistance “cling to the bourgeois state.” This is the worst form of ableism too because it asserts that people who have special needs to be inherently reactionary.

I did a “one minute google search” and all I found was a wiki of a person called Enoch Adeboye and that he “obtained a Master’s degree in Hydrodynamics from University of Lagos, and in 1975, he obtained a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Lagos.” He’s now a very popular preacher of the prosperity gospel in Nigeria.

It’s odd that such an intelligent man would become a preacher. But whatever. i am making this comment because it shows that education, by itself, doesn’t mean that a person will be useful for the cause of communism or that universities automatically molds people into principled leftists. University educated students can easily become traitors to their class and turn against the interests of the majority. My comment is a little off topic, IK…
