When you introduce your really weird friend to the group and hope he doesn't embarass himself

I know I fear the same deeper-sadness

I come to terms with it by thinking that the Nazis once seemed inevitable and unbeatable, but they got the wall-flipped in the end

A populist non revolutionary left only works for the capitalists to capture revolutionary tendencies of the people and direct them in a non dangerous (for them) way.

When it ultimately betrays the people, it will only serve to justify neoliberal policies and fascism.

There's a reason why socdem is the moderate wing of fascism even if it sounds extreme, there is no room for compromise when it comes to being revolutionary or not.

Capitalism is what makes immigration a "problem". Under socialism there cannot possibly be enough hands providing value, everyone is needed in whatever way they can contribute, and in return they will get their work's worth from social goods that society as a whole produces.

Capitalism on the other hand limits production by producing only whatever is profitable for capitalists with as little workforce they can get away with. The reserve army of unemployed and homeless people are a necessity of the system and a natural result of capitalism.

Sending away people who are willing to provide to society based on their origin country has no place under socialism. Everyone is welcome as long as they provide to their ability, and everyone is given the right to work unlike in capitalism.

People who whine about free software being slightly worse that their bloated proprietary alternative annoy me to no end. Open an issue on Github if it hasn't been reported already and stfu, no one is forcing you to use software that actually respects its users

I imagine the distinction on workers means people who do physical labour etc.

A handy way for bullshit modern sociology to hide away the class war

Insufferable libs live in their own oblivion for 4 years and then they'll scold you for not watching a "debate" that adresses 0 of the real world issues because in reality both parties are completely in line on them. Democracy must be so nice when it wants you to do the absolute bare minimum to convince you that your opinion matters and affects anything at all. God forbid someone exercises their democracy by "disrupting the peace" and demanding an end to a genocide.

News flash: anyone willing to send you to kill for the profits of some monopolies already thinks you're a sucker despite calling you a hero after you return and get completely abandoned by the state you presumably fought for

This is great, I'm saving it

 

The government in my country is planning to install sea wind turbines as a part of the transition to green energy, and the communist party led local town govenment body is against it.

Lots of sensible reasons are stated, like the impact on local people and fishermen, and the energy being used for capitalists and not for the people, but one of the reasons is them supposedly being harmful to the environment. Is there any proof for this?

I would get them saying it for wind turbines being installed in forests or mountains where you would have to cut down many trees, but I don't get it when it's at sea.

 

Many people who are filthy rich by being corporate asslickers, the human trash that get paid huge amounts for manipulating the masses, and other similar people don't own anything yet they can hardly be called part of the proletariat.

Are they petty bourgeoisie or an exception of the working class that works against it?

13-18 November 1973 the Athens Polytechnic university was occupied by students protesting against the US supported junta in Greece, wanting NATO out and better living conditions.

The most famous chants were "US out, NATO out" and "Bread, Education, Freedom" (translated).

As of today, the police forces started becoming violent and the first innocent people had died.

The following two days martial law was declared and police with the army were beating and shooting at anyone outside of their homes.

In total, 34 innocent people were killed and 1103 were injured, though the numbers are still very uncertain.

Less than a year later, the junta ended giving place to parliamentary democracy. Many factors led to its fall, most notably its failure in politics surrounding Cyprus that led to the Turkish invasion, but the uprising and public opinion was surely another major factor.

Every year those days are kept in memory especially by the communist party KKE and communist youth KNE. Tommorow a protest will be taking place towards the US embassy against imperialism.
