“Both sides” idiocy.
The GOP is full of fascists, KKK, white supremacists, religious fundamentalists and anti-science pieces of shit. There is no way to redeem them.
The Democrats are a mixture of economic conservative socialists liberals, and socialists. There is a chance to fix it.
The socialists are the minority because the economic conservatives are corrupt and very well funded by billionaire Democrats and Republicans making them an effective controlled opposition.
There are no socialists in any position of power in the democratic party, you are delusional
People that believe in socialism are socialists. They don’t have to label themselves that way.
Americans are so brainwashed to be afraid of certain labels that they will do everything that the label is but will still claim that the label is bad.
People that believe in socialism are not given positions of power by the democratic party
I agree.
They have to win elections and they have to fight from within. AOC and the squad have been dealing with that since day one.
That’s my point. People that actually believe in fighting corruption can win elections in the Democratic Party. We need more people around the country to primary the centrists everywhere and work hard for the people.
Wait everyone! Don't you see? If we join the Nazis we can change them from within!
All I see is goofy smug trolling and zero solutions. Give us some solutions.
Here's one: study insurgencies that managed to hold off and/or beat the US and get ready to apply those tactics because that time is coming. Best get to networking too.
lmfao the notion that the feds would try to crush socialism by directly inviting us to study forces that have successfully fought off the US military is so funny to me.
"Fight the fascists? Heh, nice try Russian FBI, you're not gonna trick me!"
-You, on your knees in front of a trench with a pistol pressed to your skull, seconds before it all goes black
Death to USA.
Honestly the conciseness of this argument is heartwarming to me. 🥰
I think It is hard for elections to push any reform. And that is for countries with actual democracy.
Socialism can only be achieved by non democratic methods
We already have socialism in the US. We have a mixed system. The issue is how mixed we want it to be and what specific policies would be the most effective at improving the lives of Americans.
Examples- Social Security, Medicare, Infrastructure, Fire protection, Police, national parks
What is Medicare? What is social security? What is public infrastructure? What are public schools?
Go to school. It might teach you more than posting dorky memes.
Let’s make it easy for you. What do you suggest we all do?
Nazi Germany was socialist because it had hospitals. Rome was socialist because of aqueducts. Every country with roads is socialist
You people are always so smug in your complete lack of knowledge, the way a small child would be. I guess i can't totally condemn you, because I used to be that way too. It's never too late to un-embarass yourself. But right now, I want you to tell me what you think Socialism is, and then I'm probably going to point and laugh at you
Those are examples of social welfare not socialism.
Socialism is when the workers own the means of production not when the government does stuff.
You guys could stop bombing arabs. Just a thought
Yes exactly! Socialism is when government does stuff, anarchism is when it does nothing, fascism is when he does but shouting and communism is when we do it all together holding hands.
ICE is socialism guys

All you got is memes? How are things in Russia?
You are a perfect caricature of a liberal so far out of their depth that they are in danger of imploding.
Liberal
BlueMAGA Democrats trying to insist they're not the same as Republicans while all acting like the resurrection of McCarthy.
Sorry, I didn’t realize we were in c/electoralism where
solves everything.
There are no people who believe in socialism in any positions of post in the democratic party.
There is one side, the omnicidal rich imperialist side, and it wears two faces to fool people like you.
One thing all seppos agree on: blame the foreigner. The thing they disagree on is which foreigner to blame.
good try igor we know you're currently hanging in the lubjanka shoving caviar and drinking vodka :3
:sicko-wistful: except for the caviar, since I'm vegan
Vegan caviar it is.
I dont even know if I'm still allowed to say that in the EU lmao.

Yeah stupid consumers drinking scouring milk... need to protect them from themselves...
Yer yappin at a member of the PSL, baby

"Democrats aren't fascist! Anyone who opposes us is a foreign agent though!"
Five minutes ago I saw discussion about a Democratic candidate, who was a Blackwater merc, Abu Ghraib guard and has a Totenkopf tattoo. Both parties are full of fascists.
“both sides are the same” - never the smartest person in class
"We have to vote for the blue genociders because they're different somehow from the red genociders, I am smarter than you btw"
Yours is the opinion of an intellectually lazy coward who will later lie and swear they had no idea what was happening in the camps.
To be fair, that's pretty much the ancestry of West Germany. Well, that and all the Nazis who got a great big beautiful American bailout.
They both serve capital at the expense of the working class. They arent the same exactly but they're on the same side.
They both serve capital but one is fully captured while the other is fighting back but it is still well below the 50% needed to be able to redirect the party back to FDR ideals just without the 1940s racism.
American parties play "good cop and bad cop" routine. They are not the same, but they work together to the same ends.
Going to accuse him of being an evil ruskie next?
"Economic conservatives" AKA
Genocide denier
