From the LW admin:
Honestly those ultra right-wingers are pretty bad but the ultra left-wingers are worse.
holy shit this is great, one of them is now educating me on what communism is lmao:
This is prime example of my point.
Just so you know, we like communists (mostly, we are communists), we’re generally OK with socialists
Your statement reveals you have no knowledge of the subject or ideals you claim to believe in. Communism is a process in which to establish a Socialist utopia. It was conceived by Marx based on the Machiavellian quote “The ends justify the means.” and was laid out in the Communist Manifesto. It is a militant process in which to implement SOCIALISM by force. I am guessing you are a fan of how things worked out in China?
They got super upset about me pointing out that we're over here having a great time while they wring their hands and yell at each other lol
Means Morning News did a great job on this story today, here's a quote from the conclusion of the story:
"Tlaib never said anything about Israel's right to exist; she was talking specifically about the policies of the current Israeli government and how they amount to apartheid and should be opposed. And none of the criticisms against her actually address that point. They all just pretended like Israel isn't practicing apartheid. I will go a step further than Tlaib, though, and say that, actually, nations don't have a fundamental right to exist if they don't have the consent of those who live within their borders to exist."
In my head I know these people merely need to :gulag: but in my heart I want to see them get punched in the mouth every time they say or type the word "domestic" to refer to a human being.
This place has such a great community going. The people here (and I don't just mean the power posters, but also people like me who comment at most a handful of times a day, as well as outright lurkers) are all just really intelligent, witty, friendly, helpful, caring, and a variety of other positive adjectives.
