    Wait, isn’t this the same guy who, two years after this post, disowned one of his own children because they came out as transgender?

      Well, it’s even funnier because he initially disowned her because she basically just asked him to be an engaged parent, and not just try and buy her affection like everyone else. The anti-trans stuff was just a result of him spiraling down a hole of mental illness because he so desperately need for everyone to like him, and suddenly there was someone whose love he couldn’t just buy. So instead of reflecting on why that is, he just blamed it on the transgender woke mind virus Marxist socialism.

    corporations, politicians and the super wealthy are all enemies of the international working class, and can never be trusted

    and no, there are no exceptions. use politicians as tools to make progress but never ever trust them.

    the working class must organize and sieze power ourselves or else forever remain slaves

        Almost all of them. There are maybe a few exceptions. I’m going to be honest, the only politician I would count as “good” is Miguel Ángel Revilla.

        some begin life as allies of the working class, but power corrupts. it is so unbelievably rare for humans to be able to resist that corruption that it can never be relied upon. politicians betraying the will of the people isn’t just an individual failing, it’s the system working as intended

          How does the working class collectively make decisions that affect everyone?
          Wouldn’t they need some form of delegates representing them?
          Cause those would also be politicians.

            No, it wouldn’t. The difference vs someone appointed as a delegate vs a politician is that the group can recall a delegate that is not representing them whereas politicians are on set terms (for the most part).

            You’re restricting your thinking to being solely within the current political system.

            Direct democracies exist as an antidote to the problem of corrupt “representatives” and politicians; replacing them instead with delegates who can only communicate goals and have no political power to enforce them— that power remains with the people within a direct democracy.

              So how do people in a direct democracy decide for example whether to defend their country militarily against an attacker, and how, or sue for peace?
              Do you publish all your military intel on the attacker and the strength of your own forces and then hold a vote?
              Who decides from which age on people are eligible to vote? etc…

                Look into anarchism, all of these questions and whatever else you can think of have been answered.

                Anarchistfaq is a site you can read on this more on.

      This was just months before the tantrum that started his negative public opinion trend, eventually leading to his 180 and trying to look good to the far right instead of the slightly closer to the centre right.

      Was that right around the time they were having all these problems with racism and sexism in their Fremont factory? Or was that a different time?

        Nah fuck that noise. Cowardice is what’s perpetually propping up that whole system.

        Shit isn’t going to change for as long as people keep trying to whip each other into line with an infinite never-ending “this is the most important election in history, you can worry about fixing the system later” every single time forever.

        Apart from anything else, blaming third party voters like they uniquely owe Dems their vote in a way that no other voter does, is neither backed up by the statistics nor does it bear any connection to reality. It’s just a sloppy lazy way of finding a scapegoat to vent at. Why not try blaming Trump voters for Trump instead?

        Or indeed, if we’re going to construct imaginary parallel universes with different election outcomes, how about one in which enough people voted Green in 2016 that the Dems were forced to actually try listening to the Left, instead of drifting ever Rightwards in an attempt to capture voters who will never vote for them anyway?

          That’s a lot of words to say you voted for worthless Jill. And yes there are election results you can look at to personally see how 3rd party took the win from the dems, if the dems hadnt conceded at dinner time.
