They are led by Communists that are working towards Communism along Marxist lines. What do you mean when you say they aren't Communist? That they haven't achieved upper-stage Communism?
Lemmy indeed does have lots of leftists, the main dev is a Communist.
If the Democrats don't want votes, then it's on them when they lose, not voters.
Fascism is Capitalism in decay, and the US is a dying empire. They go together
Yes, this is the built status.
More people should be aiming to be Marxists, don't know why you're trying to draw an equivalence between Marxists and fascists that doesn't exist. You should read Blackshirts and Reds, Communists and fascists have served entirely different classes, the fascists served the bourgeoisie while the Marxists served the proletariat, and funded anti-colonial and anti-Imperialist movements the world over (including funding the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine).
Can confirm, these awful false-equivalences have only further convinced me that liberals will never lift a finger to help anyone.
Do you think the PRC has high speed rail because of "slave labor?" What on Earth are you talking about?
0, they aren't qualified in enough states to get 270 electoral college votes, and even if they did get 270, the electoral college would disqualify them. PSL is a revolutionary party, they participate in bourgeois elections so you can signal strength, protest vote, and draw attention to the party itself so more people join.
You're not understanding leftists if you think they can enact change electorally.
No, the blame lies squarely on the DNC for deliberately ignoring the loud and clear message from third party voters that genocide is a red line in the sand. The blame further lies with the liberals supporting a decaying Empire and never lifting a finger to help anyone, just showing up at the ballot box every 4 years while the US commits manmade horrors beyond comprehension.
Join an org, like the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) or Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO), this mess can't be undone by supporting the Dems harder.
I'm dramatically simplifying things for the sake of a Lemmy comment.
First, fascism is just Capitalism in decline, it isn't meaningfully separate from Capitalism itself.
Secondly, when I say that Marx believed Socialism to come after Capitalism because of Capitalism's mechanisms working towards monopolist syndicates ripe for planning, that doesn't mean Marx wasn't also revolutionary. Such central planning and socialism can't take place without revolution, because the proletariat needs to gain supremacy over Capital, which is impossible electorally.
Does that clear it up?
