"A basic diff I would say between left & right is the diff b/w historicizing & naturalizing. If you’re on the left, broadly speaking, you look at things & you say, what are the historical material reasons why that is happening? if you’re on the right, you say that is what it is.” - Michael Brooks

So die Linke can purge whoever they want, but if we say Ramelow should go, we’re the sectarians? I’m done with this hypocritical PMC party. Might actually be worse than DSA.

Wenn Ramelow die Palästina Flagge, also eine Flagge eines vom Genozid betroffenen Volkes, mit der Reichsflagge gleichsetzt ist das rechtsradikale Rhetorik.
Sich solidarisch mit einer verfolgten und bedrohten Gruppe zu zeigen wie eben Regenbogenfahnen ist nicht politisch. Diese zu verbieten schon.

Clinging to the word fascism to define today’s growing reactionary forces risks falling into the same trap.

It's funny how his tune changed when confronted with Mamdani’s actual focus on affordability — something Trump claims to care about.
Let this be a lesson: Always stand up to a bully.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Presciently and tragically, in late March 2022, Zelensky told The Economist, “There are those in the West who don’t mind a long war because it would mean exhausting Russia, even if this means the demise of Ukraine and comes at the cost of Ukrainian lives,” - www.aaronmate.net/p/zelenskys-...
Zelensky’s 'Victory Plan' is a sign of defeat
After once warning that Western proxy warriors are willing to see "the demise of Ukraine" in order to bleed Russia, Zelensky faces the consequences of heeding their demands.

I’m not worried that the AI bubble will herald the end of capitalism as we know it - or even the end of the AI boom.
I'm worried that it will result in a massive upwards transfer of wealth - and further endanger our democracies in the process.

Champagne socialists can’t make progress if they keep romanticizing the working class and offering patronizing help. They need to start listening and supporting real self empowerment instead of treating workers like pawns in their moral narrative.

I hate this sort of meme.
“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”
Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?
