Does voting matter or not? Does voting dem over Republicans matter or not? You keep on writing essays on how bad democrats are and yes they are as I said imperialists still and I never supported voting communism into office and only revolutions can achieve it. But all I am saying is that in the mean time, taking 10min to vote dem over Republicans will at best alleviate worse situations or at worse as you say do nothing so why not do it?
What exactly are you trying to argue for?
You literally refuse to backoff of the point that voting doesn’t matter or that we shouldn’t vote dem over republican so by all means vote republican.
Since as you say in your argument it doesn’t matter and that Dems are just as bad. Explain to me how it matters based on your arguments so far.
Since voting doesn’t matter vote republican next election.
Ok then vote republican next election. Since it doesn’t matter.
They materially exist to at least slow down the more extreme racist and bigoted narratives and policies being pushed by Republicans. If democrats didn’t exist and this nations as purely Republicans we would be seeing the LGBTQ community being thrown in camps already.
Let’s go with your theory that voting doesn’t stop or alleviate any issues. Republican power has only been growing due to worsening conditions, and fascism is preferable to socialism in the eyes of the majority of the brainwashed reactionaries living here. We don’t help vote cause “voting doesn’t matter” and let Republicans win over and take every seat. The spineless dem will give in and join their side, and now we got a race of who can get more extreme right.
By the way conservatives are much more likely to vote than disillusioned Democrats. And they will vote in droves for their fascist leaders.
You already see this in republican circles already where they have really started sliding further right at an unprecedented scale. And just look at all the policies being passed in Florida, it is not looking good.
Anyone who thinks worsening conditions will lead to a communist revolution over a fascist one is not paying attention to the reactionary preference for fascism in this nation.
This does not bode well for marginalized communities. You may not give a shit but I do, as my own life has been severely negatively impacted ever since the trump presidency.
The only people who would have no fear of a republican take over are straight and white.
That’s purely speculation. I can also speculate that by letting Republicans win, the spineless Dems are just gonna join the winning side and swap over. Plenty have already done so or became libertarians who are just mini republicans. If popular support is on the side of the more extreme right then everyone moves further right. You can literally see this effect in CNN where they have increasingly worse narratives sliding towards the fascist right.
By the way the same Republicans are portraying the LGBTQ community as associated with groomers and also happen to have the gun nuts on their side. At least democrats don’t actively do that. Republicans have been sliding real fast towards an even more extreme right ever since the trump presidency.
But sure both are equal and let’s not vote and let Republicans win every seat. Definitely not gona have a worsening affect marginalized communities.
I mean yes both Dems and Republicans are capitalist imperialists who are never reformable and will forever be capitalist imperialists, however while the revolution hasn’t happened yet it is important to vote Dems which takes barely any effort.
Conservatives straight up are threatening the lives of minority groups and LGBTQ on an entirely different scale than democrats and life for me as a minority living in the US has gotten significantly worse since trump.
It is idealistic to just not vote or vote for some 3rd party that never wins while real shit has been ramping up for people like me from the republican side (and yes I know Dems do it too and are also bigoted racists but again Republicans do it on a whole nother scale).
Japan and their drawn porn filled with sexual assault and pedophilia definitely is oo and does not help perpetuate their rampant misogyny and sexual harassment issue
/S
As someone who can’t read the language this is pretty fascinating, you should totally post more on this topic!
How did they think having a pic of a child with a gun is a good look
Libs are perfectly fine with fascism as long as the word Nazi isn’t used
You can’t start conversations on communism by using the word communism with reactionaries who lived an entire life under anticommunist propaganda.
Assuming he makes a living as a worker and not by being a landlord or business owner, you can instead have discussions about how it’s in his interest to ask for more pay for less work while the boss wants less pay and more work this creating the class conflict and how the owners of companies make billions more without working a billion times harder and that’s how they exploit the worker.
You can also point out how wages stagnate and inflation increases and nobody in the gov does anything about it and yet the rich get richer. Where does the money come from, from whose value is it stolen from, ect.
Just avoid all mentions of buzzwords like capitalism, communism, ect as reactionaries have no values and operate entirely on buzzwords and what they’re told is good or bad without an ounce of critical thinking.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 most coherent anarchist theory
And yet china refuses to make policies that support billionaires and benefit the bourgeoisie class specifically, they instead do the opposite and fuck them over to the point where western media makes articles about how china is fucking over billionaires as if that’s a bad thing.
That’s what separates MLs from reactionaries and people like maoists who do not understand dialectical materialism and operates on idealism and being dogmatic.
If china really were revisionist they would be stripping social safety nets, reducing funding for public infrastructure, increasing privatization of everything that’s currently public and increasing policies favoring the bourgeoisie. Change happens in elliptical motion. For example when the USSR became revisionist they switched over real quick and policies favoring the proletariat were quickly stripped away in favor of pro bourgeoisie ones. The revisionists in powere immediately enriched themselves with this.
Maoists and reactionaries don’t look at objective material reality.
Starting off with enemy states of western imperialist nations is probably not going to go well. It’s better to start with talking about subjects that directly relate to and affects their material interest.
This is all assuming you are talking to someone who isn’t a bourgeoisie or materially well off. You can then talk about how their wages aren’t improving, and change in the nation isn’t for the better for people like him and how no matter who is elected it seems like they don’t change anything for the better. This can then get into discussions about class interests (how the proletariat and bourgeoisie obtain wealth and their conflicting interests) and exactly what determines a “democracy” and how the nations they live in aren’t “democracies” as they are dictatorships of the bourgeoisie. Get them to understand what capitalism really is and then describe features of communism without the word communism that they may agree with. Materialism vs idealism can also be discussed here. Debunking propaganda against communism and AES nations is gonna take a long time unless they are open-minded and willingly want to get a new perspective.
Yeah and I am one of them and I do not like polymatter’s shitty anti china propagandist takes that has a slight positive rice paper wrapping around it. He doesn’t lead to better understanding and positive relations to China. For example his shitty Chinese efficiency video is full of misinformation and china bad takes on their hsr and the video is weaponized to attack china in that regard as well as his china collapse videos in the past.
Him throwing a few bones here and there does not make up for his propagandist takes and the fact that people think he is remotely accurate is concerning.
It’s like seeing Tucker Carlson going against some western propaganda points and going listen to this guy he’s saying some good shit.
I have no idea why you are obsessed with defending this procapitalist shitbag propagandist.
Polymatter is cringe
Replace the guy on the top left with a child with no dialogue spoken and it would also be pretty accurate
You fundamentally believe Republicans in office in the future is exactly the same as democrats in the office so there is nothing more for us to discuss.
