You can support indigenous people without cheering on the raiders. /s

Anticolonialism isn't just a word. Read Wretched of the Earth by Fanon.

It is a shame how many children were killed. It was very irresponsible for Israel to prop up a fundamentalist group to sideline the PLO, and then for settler parents to bring their children right next to the world's largest open air concentration camp.

such as supporting the restructuring of distressed developers

IMF begs China to give payouts to irresponsible developers instead of taking them over and managing them better

Yeah, the racial resentment and chauvinism is really an indicator that you're not miserable and impotent.

What about disabled people who have no family? What about people who have family that can't support them financially? What about people who can't afford to build a unit? The system is the problem. We are more insulated from it then most.

provide Taiwan nuclear warheads & start a Cuban missile crisis 2

I didn't realize that China had put nuclear missiles so close to the US, similar to the way the US put missiles in Turkey, where are they?

Oh, so you are an anticommunist "leftist" then?

Edit: your post history seems to indicate you're a social democrat, which is just capitalism with a welfare state. Aka capitalism.

Owning a truck isn’t capital, it’s apparently got to be a lot to make someone a capitalist.

Owning a truck for personal transportation is literally personal property, not private property. Can you give me a quick definition according to Marxists of personal and private property?

Because you speak as if you're qualified to define leftist:

That is not leftist or anti-capitalist, but simply “eat the rich”.

I do not believe most humans think this great system for all but feel helpless,

That is capitalist realism for you.

Dogwhistles? Lol I'm straight up using explicitly communist language to communicate communist ideas. And the only time I insulted you was the previous comment. Unless you think being haut bourgeoisie would be a good thing?

Ah, yeah, I used to be a social democrat too, but I did a lot of reading and I came to the conclusion that social democracy isn't really politically sustainable without the threat of communism, and it really isn't economically stable in the same way capitalism isn't as laid out in Capital (which is a good read btw, very dense but worth reading for the economic analysis)

Yeah anything gets you labeled a commie nowadays, McCarthyism is alive and well.

It was meant to be snarky as in laughing with you not at you.

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml -3 points 2 years ago

I've literally cited evidence before you left this comment lmao.

20 percent of children in the US are food insecure and we have the largest prison industrial complex on the planet. If I had a shittier job and broke my leg I would end up homeless. My cousin who can't hold down a job due to a chronic illness would die on the streets if she didn't have family support. But yeah the system works.
