Is this the new Hasbara talking point being pushed by Israel PR? First that Obama speechwriter says it and now Hillary

You’re correct. They aren’t right wing. They are communists.

I haven’t figured out if I’m fully anarchist, a “left libertarian” who can accept a restrained state, or if I’m coming around to being an ML, tbh.

And I’m not sure if I care. I just want capitalism dismantled and fascism/conservativism opposed. And I don’t want a police state.

But, and this is gonna be hypocritical of me, I feel like the sectarianism always seems to be coming from online anarchist and progressive spaces. Like no don’t join our mass movement against capitalism if you, IDK, don’t dislike China enough? Doesn’t make sense to me.

What instances block .ml that I’d be upset to miss?

Liberalism has an actual definition. Neoliberalism is a subset of liberalism. Either way, neither position is socialist and both are capitalist. That’s the distinction. That’s always been the distinction. Leftist politics is distinctly anti capitalist.

To leftists, liberalism, even progressive liberalism, can never address the material concerns for workers, inequal accumulation, and capitalism’s contradictions because it cannot attack the central tenet of its ideology: the private ownership of land and resources. And most of the social stuff was being advocated by leftist groups in the west for years before they became popular enough for the mainstream, liberal parties to embrace.

I’m an American. Conflating liberalism with leftism is a media game that has successfully ensured the Overton window does not shift left. It reveals the mass political ignorance here. Of the policies you’ve listed, only H4A is arguably socialist.

You can understand the two party system and make decisions to support certain candidates/policies in an election without identifying as a liberal.

Kinda surprised how long it took to scroll before seeing Ico and SOTC mentioned, tbh.

Crown jewels of PS2, imo. Pushed the medium forward artistically.

Gamepass only ever made sense to people who had time to play or dabble in a sufficiently large amount of games per year and felt the need to play some new titles soon or immediately instead of waiting. Otherwise, eventually your total subscription costs would outpace the total cost to purchase what you played, especially if purchased on sale at a later date. And the value gets worse if you ever replayed a game (s).

I’ll never really understand the excitement about this service. It was always a Trojan horse.

Why would that stop them? This fascist machine didn’t just turn on.

Trump was literally shot last year. Surely that was a more fitting moment

There’s a difference between voters and the party establishment

We were chillin rent free in y’all’s heads

That’s why it’s a called a “reaction”

They literally created the platform. They can moderate their instance however they like. That’s the point of the platform.

And being “authoritarian” is when you moderate your own server how you see fit, like banning the equivalent of bad faith spamming of My Lai, Tulsa Riot, or the 1985 MOVE Bombing Wikipedia articles and pictures in obvious attempts at anti communism and stirring shit.

It’s not like they’re putting demands on .world to tone down the liberalism.

Nah

What’s your point? Are you banning the entire Internet?

All this stuff is still accessible once the bell rings and before they get to school, just like it was when I was a kid. Kids were still going on YouTube/MySpace/ Facebook and more to share things. This argument doesn’t make sense.

You’re attributing the issue of algorithms to the medium itself.

A leftist/socialist/communist/Linux echo chamber is always better than a liberal one.

@ me

Remember when we once spoke about how a lot of Redditors are not people we want here and the culture here repulsing some isn’t necessarily a bad thing?

Well.

My decisions literally didn’t matter because the electoral college and the state I live in. Most states are not swing states

Libertarian and RFK votes would have very likely gone to Trump if those candidates are removed. Your argument literally doesn’t sum up to reality. There is no state where leftist parties prevented a Harris win.

Your candidate(s) were bad. Your party hasn’t had an actually popular candidate since Obama, who ran on a progressive message but governed as a neoliberal. His actual policies produced both a reaction and disillusionment to your party because they didn’t actually offer “hope and change” following Bush and the financial crisis. The man and party didn’t officially support even the benign issue of gay marriage until it was overwhelmingly politically expedient.

Oh well there is Bernie, but your party establishment would rather ensure his campaign and those like it are crushed, even as “centrist” campaigns continue to lose. Because your party answers to Capital.

Liberal half measures and means testing policies poison the message and strength of actual leftism. They do not and cannot affect the root causes of real issues because as capitalists parties they do not and cannot attack the institutions of private property and market dogmatism. Their policy failures (Obamacare is literally a Heritage Foundation based subsidy to private insurance) are then used against “leftism” by fascists and conservatives against populations too overworked, propagandized, and poorly educated to see through them. Trump came into power by running against Clinton on NAFTA, a literal neoliberal (e.g. Reaganist/Thatcherist) policy proudly pushed through and supported by Democrats. He had a populist message that appealed to people distrustful of elites both times in a county where the major institutions are becoming less popular by the year. The dog whistles and appeals to evangelicals got the R base, but the rest pushed him over the line. Because people want change and action.

Your party’s weakness and ineffectual policies are far more to blame for the rise of fascism in this country than leftists, who have never been in power. That’s ignoring that this country has been reactionary since its founding, with Madison himself arguing during the constitutional convention that the purpose of government is to “protect the minority of the opulent from the majority”.

Have you ever read or studied actual leftist (i.e. socialist) theory or criticism?

So you think the entirety of “independents” are leftists? You’re counting RFK and Libertarian party votes as leftist votes in your calculations?

Also, 312 - 25 (MI + WI) delegates is 287. Trump still wins. Try again.

You and your party clearly didn’t learn anything from 2016 and the reaction + disillusionment to the Obama years.
