This is literally not true. Like quite literally, even in socialist history this is not a true statement. Leninism particularly had some very funny hijinks about linking wealth to class.

That’s weird, because the class = relation to labor stuff is literally in Socialism: Utopian and Scientific by Frederick Engels

I’m not deifying Hasan, I don’t really care about Hasan. I was just correcting an incorrect sentiment in this post that having wealth means you can’t be on the side of the working class.

Everything else you said is weird too online gossip so I’ll just move on.

Also, class is not defined by wealth, but by relation to labor. He is doing the work he is getting paid for, regardless of whether someone thinks its too much. He’s not exploiting others to make that money as far as I know.

A person’s class is defined by their relation to labor, not their wealth. He’s not exploiting labor. I’m not sure the people claiming he’s a hypocrite for having money understand anything about communist/socialist theory. Engels was famously in a very similar situation.

Babylon 5 did an incredible job showing how fascism can slowly take power. Great show.

You live in a fantasy invented by your own propaganda. I don’t even know how you’d measure what you’re saying at a mass scale, much less notice it while living in a country.

“Oh man, if we were in a capitalist country, Jim would have invented a new form of sliced bread, but alas we are unmotivated by our available housing and food.”

there is nothing I could possibly do that would alter how much it affects me unless I suddenly got a lot wealthier

I mean, that is a possible thing for your e-mail admin to do. They just generally don’t.

Did anyone else not know Lycos was still around? Lycos is still around. Seems not that bad. No AI stuff.

You’re willing to trade a maybe for a surely.

America is currently “surely” assisting in a genocide. Hope this helps!

America JUST exited a decades long war where the only results were death and destruction.

If you think the oligarchs in America are the people up for a vote, you’re completing misunderstanding what you’re being told right now.

Do you even hear yourself?

Based on how liberals have accepted genocide as necessary at this point, the “fascism later” option seems more likely to make people comfortable with fascism, rather than buying us time to resist.

It qualifies as a war crime but not as genocide.

Okay… if its a war crime and not a genocide, that still qualifies as a way to stop sending weapons.

They are, legally speaking allowed to close any port of entry or exit from their country.

Huh wonder if maybe Palestine should be legally recognized as a country to prevent this? Oh well, nothing we can do, since the politicians in power don’t want to do that.

But I don’t think that it can be proven especially seeing as the official government statistics coming out of gaza are provided by a group that is internationally recognised as a terrorist organisation.

Every organization operating out of Gaza would get called a terrorist organization by Isreal. It is almost as if America is being intentionally obtuse to allow Isreal to carry out a genocide.

The thing that keeps their job more than voters is donors. Hope this helps!

Waiting several election cycles to end a genocide is insane and there is no world in which that is the moral, ethical, or logical path forward. Hope this helps!

The only time pressure can be applied is before they have your vote. Hope this helps!

Do you even hear yourself?

Yeah, for instance: funding a genocide, xenophobic immigration policy, building the wall, dropping the ball on covid right before delta/omicron, a lack of healthcare reform, the inability to protect abortion rights, being a cop, denigrating anti-genocide protestors, racially profiling Muslims at your events
