It's a meaningless word that liberals and anti-communists use to try and down-punch and discredit us.

I believe Norway still has a lot of good systems to take care of its citizens.

Sure, I'm not saying welfare programs are bad, but the system is still Capitalist. We're already seeing policies being rolled back as the pendulum swings. Norway is able to afford its citizens these luxuries because of its historical exploitation and wealth. That, and because of the proximity to the Soviet Union; they feared uprising similar to what was going on there, so concessions were made. It's always concessions.

tankie triad

Anybody who uses the term "tankie" can safely be ignored and blocked.

but social democracy has been a good way of keeping capitalism in-check in Norway

Even though some of these concessions have been rolled back? Also, Norway, etc were able to offer these concessions by exploiting other countries.

What I am interested in learning is how society would operate and function under socialism / communism. More about the differences. Preferably from less dry sources than The Capital from Marx. Where can I learn more? Preferably a bit entertaining.

A podcast called Actually Existing Socialism is really good!

I've had accounts shadow banned due to VPN. I've had more accounts banned from subs due to annoying mods. I'm still on reddit, but I really do prefer the non-corporate/non-VC-backed social media

Liberals will claim that they are furious at what's going on and then proceed to vote for another capitalist who perpetuates what's going on, all while refusing to listen to Socialists. 🤷‍♀️

Leftists, of course. Liberals will continue to be in denial for the foreseeable future. Conservatives just dgaf.

 

Join us at Downer's Grove library to assemble signs and stickers for the DSA rally on Saturday in Wheaton.

wdym? Every single week there's protests. Are you part of an org? If you're part of an org maybe you'll hear about them more?

I think people are having a "Napster moment" with AI, watching it disrupt the status quo and being afraid of it. I think there's way too many anti-technology hot takes.

However, AI is absolutely a threat to and a weapon against the working class (or will be very soon). The capitalist class is just salivating to use this tool to further exploit people.

regardless of all other factors

Yea that's not what DEI is. Look up affinity bias and why we need things like DEI.

These are not normal times. The capitalist, oligarchic system has failed to protect our planet or our freedoms. As more and more of our leaders turn collaborator, all of us must come together to fight fascism. Join us as we stand in solidarity with immigrants, for LGBTQ rights, for a free Palestine, and most of all in opposition to the "Elonreich." A better world is possible!✊

The 50501 movement -- a decentralized, nationwide call to action -- has set April 5th as a day of action. Answer the call with us.
