Becoming a Marxist shows you that Gandhi was a villain that is propped up by the west in the name of non-violence

You do realize how much of a patronizing asshole you are right?
It pops up when contradictions sharpen and people start turning to socialism and communism, we are seeing it pop up again because of the continuing 2008 fallout and especially recently the pandemic. They want to turn people down blind alleys instead of gain true class consciousness
You can make a lot of money with the grift too, that’s why you see so many people in the media pivot.
They are telling on themselves so hard here, confirming that they were sending poorly trained soldiers to Bakhmut just to fucking die. Fucking monsters
It is very disturbing how Reddit-like that response is
It was primarily an Islamophobic movement in the post-Gulf War and 9/11 era.
That’s what it seems like to me. It was very much the same “white dude pseudo-intellectuals pretend they know everything about the world but only push reactionary ideology” as the Peterson, Rogan, etc. bullshit.
This is genuinely terrifying
I think the most important thing is the Ukraine war showed what a paper tiger the west is. I don’t think we would see the resistance in west Africa if it weren’t for the war, for example. The US doesn’t seem so all-powerful to the global South anymore.
I mean yeah, mass murder has been part of the cultural psyche since the beginning. Once genocide and lynching fell out of fashion, the violence simply turned inward. You can see the parallels with relationship between liberalism and fascism.
The last sentence is terrifying but only confirms what we’ve feared all along.
Not just that, but our foundational social structures have been completely upended by capitalism. We are simply not meant to live like this and socialism will help us start to repair the damage. We are supposed to live communally, our isolation at the expense of capital has done incalculable social damage.
Would socialism be able to fix everything as it exists right now? No, obviously not. But socialism will change the conditions that cause these issues to arise over time. I think its fair for people to acknowledge the fact that capitalism and class society is the ultimate root of these problems and it is the fault of no single individual.
Neoliberalism has been particularly efficient at atomizing people and replacing many social and cultural things with products to be consumed. Low income obviously contributes to loneliness but its truly an epidemic across all income levels.
Damn the tankies were right again? Don’t listen to them though the economy is actually great and Russia is totally gonna collapse any day now
Tying retirement to the stock market is insidious class warfare
Only applies to the global north for sure
Okay, see we should organize to violently depose the Republican party since they are the primary obstacle in the way of creating a more fair and just society, right?
Would love for one of these fucks explain what the “nuance” is exactly
