  10. The guy is politically illiterate. He called Neil a left liberal because he was hurting his feelings with questions. These people wouldn’t know leftist if you smacked them in the face with The Conquest of Bread
    1000
  11. Alright! This is starting to look like reality and not corporate media manufacturing
    1000
  12. Best show with social commentary and relevance. Glover is a Renaissance Man with his artistic expressions.
    982
  13. There’s no hate like Christian love; there’s no tyranny like conservative freedom
    925
  14. Kyle is great on the Hill. But where’s the debate cover bruh?
    900
  15. What’s that?! Fake religious folk mad at real Christian folk who preach humanity? The Church of Satan literally have more morals

  16. It was highest during Eisenhower’s administration. That was the boom of the middle class.
    895
  17. The Establishment is more scared than ever. It’s hilarious they can’t even handle Social Democracy. Imagine if the workers revolt, they’ll fall back to Fascists as is historically appropriate.
    891
  18. Many memorable moments. My fav were “I dump your ass!”, Alexei, “The Never-ending Story”, and “Keep the door open 3 in.”
    880
  19. The Holy Spirit wanted to see what’s trending on social media
    817
  20. Coogler makes it a thing to know he follows history and is respectful of the cultures he uses in his art. Remmick hints at being from a time when Catholics first came to Ireland and English colonizers forced their way and stole their lands. He held gold that seemed Roman-Celtic era. If you notice Remmick is never portrayed as the racist white supremacists are. He never uses slurs, and is eager to find commune with people as once they become as him they become a hive. Though of course more than anything he wants to be with and see his people again, which is why he takes an interest to Sammy. Music that’s true and powerful is magical. Remmick calls the vampire hunters chasing him by their tribe name: Choctaw. This is a sign of actual respect and knowledge as any other would just say Indian or a racist slur. When the Irish famine happened (and capitalists screwed over supply in Ireland) the Choctaw learned of what was happening in Ireland. Despite their own struggles with settler-colonization they gathered what money they could and sent it as a gift to Ireland. Remmick understands oppression and colonization, but his form of solidarity is violence and more oppression. If you notice the times when solidarity are positively portrayed are those real human and commune moments among people forming real solidarity. This movie was fantastic and Coogler continues to be a force in the industry.

  21. It’s literally high school and she’s trying to get into the cool crowd lol.

  23. This guy is as bad as Nate Silver with his “residue” take
    686
  24. “Nitara is beautiful, a Queen, a goddess, a lethal assassin! She’s.... she’s dead” Her basic role in the movie
    686
  25. Funnily enough Feige just recently said over the next decade they’re interested in Moon Knight, Nova, and Eternals.
    652
  26. “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” — George Orwell, 1984
    646
  27. “Sanders plummets up the polls” - corporate media
    643
  28. The establishment will always prefer fascism over challenges to privilege
    618
  29. What genius, he gets it! Everyone knows people want to live in abject poverty and struggle to live and live to struggle all their lives.
    605
  30. Look like paid shills to me. You’re right I don’t know who that is

  31. Something I found refreshing about Thanos is how unique a villain he is. Clearly he’s the film’s protagonist. It’s scary how much he thinks his vision of life in the universe is the right one. The fact that instead of snapping up more space and resources for life he is adamant that the only way is to exterminate half of all sentient life. I think it enforces the idea that though he is rational he is also indeed a Mad Titan! Then there is the whole logical but twisted sense of fairness and mercy he possesses. He annihilates randomly without pretenses of social class, or nitpicking victims, it’s 50% death and it’s wickedly fair in that sense without a doubt. And with the Gauntlet and Stones he exterminated painlessly, no torture or pain, just random disintegration. To top it all off he doesn’t seek to become essentially God to rule and subjugate the universe, he has a goal, a mission, that he thinks makes him the unsung hero of the universe that’ll never be understood or praised by grateful life; but he has done it and will watch the fruits of his great labor and leave life now to their, as he sees it, better future and fate. He has a messiah complex and has sacrificed what he loves for the greater good... 😈 Mad Titan Thanos!
    599
  32. America is currently in search of Joe Biden the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party in a time of pandemic... my gosh that party sucks so much ass lol
    595
  33. Yo I just saw an ironically hilarious video of Trump at a graduation ceremony saying “Never ever give up! If there’s a concrete wall in your way go through it!” lol Just look up Trump 2004 speech
    584
  34. These people believe neoliberals are leftists, their political illiteracy gives them no credibility to be taken seriously about politics.
    576
  35. Happy Mhysa Day!
    556
  36. Love how he quotes Orwell for an anti-socialist take…
    540
  37. Bernie is coming out strong from this and asserting “no middle ground!”
    537
  38. It’s like witnessing the crack down of the dumbest crime boss in history.
    529
  39. Thank you for giving us welfare and relieving our taxation burdens, it was getting real hard for us. Sincerely, The corporations, multi-national or otherwise, of the United States of America. 💰 > 🇺🇸
    527
  40. Oh so he's the Kiki that gets mutilated by the cartels giving them green light to declare war on drug offenders and DEA are off limits. Does that mean this is a prequel to the first two seasons?
    524
  41. Law enforcement unfortunately attracts bullies and people with violent tendencies. Not all of course but it’s something to look into. Might be a phenomena like pedophiles in Catholic positions of power.
    523
  42. Capitalism is crap. Right populism is crap. They’re both whining about which oppressive force is better. Bend over for the corporate and private donor class, because it’s “freedom”
    521
  43. That had to be the sickest burn I’ve ever seen in politics.
    517
  44. 8 billion to Israel as Americans go through hurricanes and chemical spills
    515
  45. I don’t recall any historical document that claims Americans shall put aside their Bill of Rights in favor of a Jewish ethno-State. Cause it’s stupid.
    508
  46. Wish someone schooled her up there about the USA being one of the last countries to abolish slavery. Even Brazil beat them to it, in terms of years since country’s independence.
    501
  47. Bernie once again proving to be the only competent politician out here.
    499
  48. But we need to free the oi... I mean people!

  49. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. quotes: “I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic… [Capitalism] started out with a noble and high motive… but like most human systems it fell victim to the very thing it was revolting against. So today capitalism has out-lived its usefulness.” – Letter to Coretta Scott, July 18, 1952. “And one day we must ask the question, ‘Why are there forty million poor people in America? And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising questions about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth.’ When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy. And I’m simply saying that more and more, we’ve got to begin to ask questions about the whole society…” – Speech to Southern Christian Leadership Conference Atlanta, Georgia, August 16, 1967. “Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God’s children.” – Speech to the Negro American Labor Council, 1961. “We must recognize that we can’t solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power… this means a revolution of values and other things. We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together… you can’t really get rid of one without getting rid of the others… the whole structure of American life must be changed. America is a hypocritical nation and [we] must put [our] own house in order.”- Report to SCLC Staff, May 1967. “The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.” – Speech to SCLC Board, March 30, 1967. “You can’t talk about solving the economic problem of the Negro without talking about billions of dollars. You can’t talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of slums. You’re really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then. You are messing with captains of industry. Now this means that we are treading in difficult water, because it really means that we are saying that something is wrong with capitalism.” – Speech to his staff, 1966. “[W]e are saying that something is wrong … with capitalism…. There must be better distribution of wealth and maybe America must move toward a democratic socialism.” – Speech to his staff, 1966. “If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell.” – Speech at Bishop Charles Mason Temple of the Church of God in Christ in support of the Memphis sanitation workers’ strike on March 18th, 1968, two weeks before he was assassinated. Civil Rights and racial issues they can accept. But come after the Capitalist establishment and ruling class you’ll be an enemy of the State. Dr. King may have been more a Democratic Socialist than a Social Democrat. Either way he knew the truth and fought for the classes and masses, not just his downtrodden people. He was a true patriot and American.
    478
  50. State's right to oppress and enslave an entire race to maintain an agricultural economy. The basis of Confederate ideals and politics are akin to Nazism, as in rooted in racism. Slavery WAS the main cause for the Confederacy and Civil War. Lincoln emancipated the slaves, not out of moral duty, at least initially, but to maintain the Union. At least it served a greater good regardless of his intentions.
    461
  51. “Elitist to care about policy” I’m done WTF
    458
  52. Weakest installment in the franchise. Great cast though.
    454
  53. Don’t worry! The prosperity will trickle down on to us peasants! Any... day... now...
    448
  54. Imagine being so detached from humanity and claiming you hold Christian values
    444
  55. Educate yourself people. Socialism is not by definition disassociated from freedom. State control, command economy, and totalitarianism is not Socialism. Unfortunately tyrants tainted what is meant by Socialism. Look at the work of the critics of capitalism and intellectuals that founded Socialism. It's about empowering the worker, giving freedom to the laborer to labor as they please, to own their labor etc... George Orwell an acclaimed critic of Totalitarianism and State control was a true Democratic-Socialist. Einstein was a Socialist. Dr. King the civil right's leader was an advocate of socialist economic thought. The guy who wrote the American Pledge of Allegiance was a Christian-Socialist. Inform yourself and you'll find the truth the wealthy elitists and Capitalism hides, Socialism was and is the next step in freedom in a post-Capitalist society. By the way Supply side economics is the most economically inept model it's laughable they can continue this charade.
    443
  56. It’s like watching a sage
    429
  57. God is woke for creating the Rainbow after the flood 🌈
    427
  58. Chomsky was right. Dictators dream of having a media machine as efficient as corporate America’s
    425
  59. Are we still going to pretend this guy isn’t a right winger?
    411
  60. Gravel should be a counselor to Bernie on how to lay the smack down on these neoliberals
    406
  61. Grinding in the streets. Reminds me of a public servant
    403
  62. Classic Liberals should be the dominant right wing conservative faction in this country not Christian fundamentalist and white nationalist conservatives.
    399
  63. Dude is desperate to be controversial and edgy. Profiteer exploiting a new audience, trying to appeal to bipartisan ideologues.
    394
  64. I supported the dude for Texas senator but for president hell no! The guy is not a hardcore progressive, I knew when I heard he voted against HR 676 and to deregulate Wall Street. We need a leftist president, ideally Bernie. O'Rourke would easily lay with neoliberals.
    392
  65. But competition and Yelp will start to kick in!
    388
  66. Gasp! You mean people don’t like being screwed over! Well that is news to me.
    387
  67. Even objectively I think Bernie had the best closing statement
    386
  68. Capitalism isn’t a meritocracy. It’s feudalism reborn, wealth and privilege concentrated to a few on top, allying with State powers to maintain wealth and power. They undermine a people’s democracy and exploit workers. Plutocratic and kakistocratic tendencies. No American dream, just elitism of old.
    384

Nothing has changed. We let it happen.
    379
  70. Right “Libertarians” supporting an oppressive system and calling it freedom.
    376
  71. This was expected from these extremists. If the shooter turns out to be: Hispanic: “Build the Wall!” Arab: “Terrorists! Muslim Ban!” Trans: “Trans terrorism! It’s a mental disease!” Cis/straight/white: “We need to ask ourselves how are we as a society failing these poor troubled young men? What kinds of movies, video games, and music are we making?” Don’t let up on these extremists, let them know they’re in the minority
    374
  72. Be afraid capitalist owner class, and neoliberals. Your elitist world order isn’t safe anymore.
    372
  73. Sounds like a medieval warmonger “God wills it!”
    369
  74. I leave these quotes every MLK Day to remember what he truly stood for. “ I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic… [Capitalism] started out with a noble and high motive… but like most human systems it fell victim to the very thing it was revolting against. So today capitalism has out-lived its usefulness.” – Letter to Coretta Scott, July 18, 1952. “In a sense, you could say we’re involved in the class struggle.” – Quote to New York Times reporter, José Igelsias, 1968. “And one day we must ask the question, ‘Why are there forty million poor people in America? And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising questions about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth.’ When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy. And I’m simply saying that more and more, we’ve got to begin to ask questions about the whole society…” – Speech to Southern Christian Leadership Conference Atlanta, Georgia, August 16, 1967. “Capitalism forgets that life is social. And the kingdom of brotherhood is found neither in the thesis of communism nor the antithesis of capitalism, but in a higher synthesis.” – Speech to Southern Christian Leadership Conference Atlanta, Georgia, August 16, 1967. “Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God’s children.” – Speech to the Negro American Labor Council, 1961. “We must recognize that we can’t solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power… this means a revolution of values and other things.

It is socially as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism at the dawn of civilization, when men ate each other because they had not yet learned to take food from the soil or to consume the abundant animal life around them. The time has come for us to civilize ourselves by the total, direct and immediate abolition of poverty.” – Where do We Go from Here?, 1967. “You can’t talk about solving the economic problem of the Negro without talking about billions of dollars. You can’t talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of slums. You’re really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then. You are messing with captains of industry.

    369
  75. That’s what Mericans’ call bringing freedom to the world
    356
  76. While social conservatives continue being lames the rest of us will have fun with the games. Rockstar is no stranger to conservatives moral panic, woke is just the latest
    349
  77. Right wingers were the original snowflakes. “How dare they take prayer outta school!” “That girl is showing her ankles!” Rock and roll is the devil’s music!” “Let’s disrespect the dead soldiers because they were gay! God wills it!”
    347
  78. I loved Arcane so much, the characters are near perfect. Silco didn’t even feel like a villain but an antagonist proper, hero to their own narrative, and actually fighting injustice and oppression, thought not above it himself. I also love how he recognizes in Jinx the embodiment of what Zaun is: broken, abandoned, chaotic that has formed a sleeping “monster” capable of doing great things
    345
  79. Oh how they loathe the poor and the laborers.
    343
  80. They’re figuring out that no one actually likes far right Corporatism in the year 2019... journalism at its finest
    343
  81. Dank Matter Toys R Us...
    342
  82. Watching this video before they take it down. Tech oligarchs going full establishment. Censorship is bullshit.
    340
  83. Most of those were centrist neoliberal party loyalists, and even they recognize the change in the political landscape. Too bad the leadership isn’t as observant.
    336
  84. Bernie isn’t running for presidency. He’s basically running to be America’s grandfather. A grandfather gives you change, takes care of you when sick, worries about your education prospects, and wants what’s best for you.
    336
  85. So inadvertently that’s an endorsement for Nina.
    331
  86. Not gonna lie the ad was great. But I won’t trust the Democratic Party until progressives are the majority and candidates with integrity to not take big money are in power.
    331
  87. Gotta love the rise of the labor movement. Syndicalism is long due a return
    321
  88. And they insist that believing someone had him killed is a “conspiracy” lol MSM will die one day and we will dance on it’s ashes
    319
  89. Progressivism and populism, something so distant to American politics and policy people fear it as an unknown.
    319
  90. Anything to avoid talking about the real issues. Radicalization, white supremacy, crap rhetoric capitulating to bigots, the NRA etc.... They don’t believe it, they are selling an old bs argument to avoid reality and protect their pockets.
    316
  91. The party of “small government” It’s all frustratingly surreal
    316
  92. This represents the whole national political system. “No Label” is exactly how the class conscious wealthy financial and corporate class sees it. They buy out politicians from either party with no partisanship. Just unity in screwing over the working people.
    314
  93. McCain denouncing this scam is really hypocritical. Not that she used it, but be real her privilege has allowed such easy access and favors in her life. Conservatism in any period, was and remains, about maintaining the status quo for the elites, the privileged, the wealthy, and the powerful.
    312
  94. “The common welfare” is literally the point of A Christmas Carol. Dickens was a critic of British Capitalism, not to say he was a socialist
    309
  95. Thumbnail= Kyle on his way to Milwaukee early to riot
    309
  96. Imagine hating or caring this much about not being able to force others to live as you want
    307
  97. I’m sure Reagan and Thatcher are very proud of her
    305
  98. If you don’t like it you ain’t black. These poor kids are just as talented as white kids.
    305
  99. It’s those Judeo-Christian values that magically created American prosperity. As Jesus said: “Let the children come unto me; so that they may be separated from their parents.”
    303
  100. Reminds me of Oliver North and how they inundated poor urban neighborhoods with drugs. But thankfully the War on Drugs saved the minorities... oh wait
    300
  101. The great conundrum of the capitalist. How do I maintain the illusion that I work for my money, and not that I accumulate more wealth and capital by owning capital and exploiting the actual workers.
    299
  102. “Don’t worry this COVID thing isn’t serious just a Democratic hoax!” — deceased COVID casualty
    295
  103. Once in a generation event. We were there. In my opinion Marvel has cemented itself as the biggest franchise, even greater than Star Wars. Our pop cultural phenomena. And they’re still going.
    290
  104. From Social Democracy to Democratic Socialism to Libertarian Socialism. Thanks for opening the gates Bernie, bringing back real left political views
    289
  105. We’re reaching the “Let them eat cake” point of the Revolution.
    289
  106. They quickly collect money to rebuild buildings, so it’s a monument... When it comes to money for helping people everyone attacks the poor.
    288
  107. These corporatists are getting desperate. I’ve said it before they can’t even handle Social Democracy or giving for Social Welfare. It hurts their bottom line too much. Nah real freedom is allowing wealth to be concentrated to an elite few that buy the government. This status quo is the reality wherever Capitalism exists. “That’s what Liberalism was all about though” lol! Welcome to the new Oligarchy and literal Feudalism between the wealthy (corporate and private owner class) and government.
    287
  108. When this country has single payer healthcare, free college, progressive tax reforms etc... the conservatives will act like they were for all that the whole time, just needed to “find out how to implement it” Decades from now they would be claiming “if Bernie Sanders were alive today he would be a Republican”
    287
  109. Well then the Trump supporters can now shut up about him doing something good on foreign policy then. Told you I’d believe it when I saw it.
    286
  110. The cultists would want to give Trump authoritarian emergency powers to stay in office. How sad is it that people would actually advocate that...
    285
  111. I respectfully completely disagree with this video and here is why: The total screen time count is irrelevant, because the overwhelming majority of Dany and Jon's shared screen time was with other characters present, discussing politics, the war, and bending the knee. Their first meeting was like a 15 minute scene. Most of Jon and Ygritte's shared screen time only featured the two of them, building a relationship progressively and believably. Counting the minutes Jon and Ygritte shared before fucking is irrelevant. Jon and Ygritte could have had sex in Season 2 and there would have been no issue, if it was just sex. Sex and love are not the same thing. Sexual attraction can be immediate, love happens progressively. The second half of Season 3 continued to develop their relationship after they had sex, showing us that they were still in the process of falling in love. Dany and Jon are already "in love", after only 4 episodes. Jon and Ygritte had been together for 9 episodes before they had sex, and had lived together as Wildlings for weeks, if not months. Jon and Dany have known each other for a week or ten days tops (I go into this in detail later). Dany and Jon have only had 3 scenes alone together prior to Episode 6. None of those scenes established any sort of personal or emotional bond. Their scene in Episode 3 was all about business, so to speak. Mining the glass, bending the knee, etc... No personal connection at all. Their scene in Episode 4 showed that they were sexually attracted to each other, but that's it. The conversation was strictly about the war. Their scene in Episode 5 was also all about the war. Yes, Dany saw him pet Drogon, but once again, no bond between her and Jon was directly established. The writers didn't even make any effort to give them a scene where they could discuss what they have in common, going from nothing to being monarchs, being outcasts, struggling to find their place in the world, Jon not knowing his mother VS Dany not knowing anyone in her family beyond Viserys, etc... We didn't see them really get to know each other. There's nothing for them to "love" about the other. All they know about each other is what the other looks like and certain aspects of what sort of ruler they are. That's nothing. Beyond that, if you think about things logically, they can't have known each other for more than a week or so, as I said earlier. Jon receives permission to mine the glass in Episode 3, yet in Episode 4, he specifically says he hasn't begun yet. This tells us very little time has passed, probably only 2 or 3 days maximum. Dany then leaves to ambush Jaime immediately after they exit the cave. She returns in Episode 5, right before Jon receives word from Winterfell and decides to leave for Eastwatch. He presumably leaves a couple days later, once Tyrion and Davos return from KL. Basically they barely know each other. You can't compare that with Jon and Ygritte traveling and living together for weeks. The proof of how forced it is is that they have to have Davos and Tyrion telling us that Jon and Dany have feelings for each other, as opposed to the show actually building that relationship. It is the epitome of a forced relationship.

  112. Total Drama Island for rich kids. Was Chris MacLane there to torture them?
    282
  113. Freiza was based by Toriyama on the worst of scum, land speculators and rent lords
    282
  114. They won’t cover this as it’s not their anti-semite narrative about her.
    281
  115. We’re taking about a country where people go out to the beaches and gather to protest against quarantine during a pandemic..... liberty or freedom takes education, intelligence, and responsibility to keep. The sheep willingly going to the slaughter.
    280
  116. That’s a huge jump in theory. Lol Still I want Sansa to remain with the North. Tyrion can have the other 6
    279
  117. I’m not at all a Biden supporter. But I give him all credit deserved for ending this useless, profit venture, war in Afghanistan. Unfortunately the truth is this was going to happen, and just proved to everyone what a waste of lives and resources this folly was. Biden did good, and despite the backlash from the elites, he did right
    276
  118. Once Justice Democrats make it big you'll be up there as a co-founder Kyle lol
    275
  119. The corporate media live in a bubble and is rife with groupthink, the entire establishment is
    272
  120. Expose their conservatism and opposition to modern liberal and social democratic ideology
    271
  121. Ahh the business of war. Keeping them Christian values these Republicans I see
    271
  122. When he said Russia is greatest geopolitical threat was very dumb though
    270
  123. This video sounds the worst. Anyway censorship is a problem. We don’t censor opposing views, we refute them with factual evidence and realities.
    270
  124. I think the liberals in America are realizing they don’t have a modern social liberal party. Just a center-right and far right establishment.
    266
  125. Typical bourgeois ruling class using authorities to put the working class in their place
    266
  126. The two most progressive there wiped the floor with the establishment suits and neoliberals. Delaney getting destroyed was especially satisfying.
    260
  127. Hate these SOTU addresses. Always full of BS, and group think followers standing and clapping for no reason. “I took a dump today for America” (standing ovation from the collective hive mind)
    259
  128. I mean it’s known knowledge that modern Democrats are Rockefeller Republicans.
    257
  129. She lost with her establishment shtick and then claims to have advice for progressives lol
    255
  130. We all know it’s a sign of good things when governments start making a list of specific citizen groups
    254
  131. “Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses!”— Rage Against the Machine 🚩🏴
    253
  132. Can’t be Christian and Capitalist, it’s clear to me a contradiction. Recalling being Christ-like never meant self-interest, profit, or material wealth. Conservatives are ideologically and religiously challenged for real. The hypocrisy is worthy of mocking. Truth is Christians should or would advocate a Socialist/Communist Commune lifestyle devoted to piety and community. Fun Fact: Francis Bellamy the writer of the American Pledge of Allegiance was one such Christian Socialist.
    251
  133. "This country has socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor." - Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Straight out of Dr. King’s struggle Bernie comes from the Civil Rights Movement and has not forgotten the subsequent struggle for economic justice. If this freaks them out imagine when people start pushing for seizing the means of production.
    246
  134. Center-right neoliberalism and Third Way politics are garbage as we have seen over the decades. America has yet to have Social Liberal policies implemented we’re so behind the developed world.
    246
  135. I have no empathy for elitist boomers that drove the nation’s politics towards capital Corporatism and further right. Third Way Boomer trash
    246
  136. You’re telling me these idiots want to implement Minority Report without the precogs?
    245
  137.  @ddhb223sfyn Eminem always seem to hate his fans and understand how whiteness helped him crossover the mainstream in a way that wasn’t even available for Tupac
    244
  138. I wouldn’t vote for a neoliberal if I won the lottery and became part of the 1%
    243
  139. As far as I’m concerned progressivism is being humanitarian.
    243
  140. Meanwhile naysayers insist Marvel makes kiddie movies for laughs and no substance. But they can actually portray real world issues that don’t pander or try some pseudo-intellectual hogwash. Ryan Coogler himself says he loves that Marvel has been doing such stories since Iron Man. Are they family friendly action block busters, yeah! Are they bland without depth and substance, no! To this day my objectively best Marvel movie is Winter Soldier for executing all these elements to near perfection.
    240
  141. Got any news? Neoliberalism is the economic doctrine of Chicago School and Milton Friedman. It spread in politics with Reagan and Thatcher. Democrats are center-right.
    238
  142. Was Kyle the only progressive there? Cause most of them sounded like SJW authoritarian leftists that are sticking to the establishment.
    238
  143. This is just asking for a fan war. But House Stark is the best, they have Greenseers, Wargs, and built the Wall! And I'm pretty sure the shows Night King was/is related to House Stark.
    236
  144. Chomsky scarily predicted exactly how Afghanistan was going down. It’s like he has seer foresight. But he’s just intelligent and a critical thinker.
    236
  145. You knew it was bull when they claimed Anarchists support any politician or government
    236
  146. THAT is a public servant!
    235
  147. I would go further since I’m in the libertarian left but the man speaks nothing but truth
    234
  148. They’re really gonna have to do with mainstream media what they do with monopolies. Break them up!
    234
  149. Conservatives always on the wrong side of history. They don’t even realize that if segregation were still a thing they’d be defending it, or slavery for that matter. Why should conservatism be taken seriously? Especially social conservatism.
    230
  150. So far up conservative America’s ass. The establishment is his true God.
    229
  151. I’m on the satisfied ass cheek. It was a show for Wanda and her development, and coming into the Scarlet Witch character. This is just the start
    229
  152. It’s almost like a politician’s job is to use politics to help the people they serve. Like people want leaders who are public servants.
    225
  153. To make clear it wasn’t a Taliban attack. It was a group called ISK. While they are as fundamentalist extremists as the Taliban, they are a smaller group that are sometimes in conflict with the Taliban. Just another faction among many in Afghanistan
    224
  154. “We started off trying to set up a small anarchist community, but people wouldn't obey the rules.” Alan Bennett, Getting On (1972), Act I
    221
  155. Clearly no lesson was learned from 2016. The elite are never wrong
    220
  156. Kyle come on the conservative and neoliberal wing of the Democratic Party are moderate Republicans. They are literally the Conservative party of most European countries.
    219
  157. Pete was really made in the centrist neoliberal labs
    218
  158. Jesse always comes through with the knowledge. This should be the common view. Billionaires means absolute corruption and privileged unearned income
    218
  159. They literally said she won’t be James Bond, just the next 007 lol Conservatives always fighting the “real issues”
    217
  160. Neoliberalism is just capitalism without borders which screws over working class worldwide
    216
  161. “Touch this situation” the hell does that mean lol
    215
  162. Galifianakis makes Ferrell’s son call him daddy in a campaign ad, so he does an ad cucking him in response. Then Zach shoots him and goes up in the polls. You know everyday American politics.
    214
  163. Conservatism has always meant maintaining the status quo of those in power, the wealthy, and the privileged.
    213
  164. YA dystopian stories and novels are usually cringe and generic but the Hunger Games was actually good. The novels and films. It’s the pinnacle of that literary genre and shows it’s potential.
    213
  165. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭 The stupidity!!!!! An empty moderate slot when all Democrats should be there leaning right.
    212
  166. "We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians." “If one has to refer to any of the parties as a terrorist state, one might refer to the Israeli government, because they are the people who are slaughtering defenseless and innocent Arabs in the occupied [Palestinian] territories, and we don’t regard that as acceptable.” “”Why are they [the USA] not seeking to confiscate weapons of mass destruction from their ally Israel?” — Nelson Mandela
    208
  167. Dismantle mainstream media like you do monopolies. These morons aren’t the 4th estate, they’re part of the problem
    208
  168. For those still theorizing about the hierarchy, the Duffer Bros once again gave us exposition through Dustin. The Mind Flayer is an ancient primordial psychic entity that is the collective hive mind of all life in the Upside Down, a dark mirror dimension parallel to our own. Henry Creel aka 001, and Vecna was sent to the Upside Down in 1979 by 11/Jane. There he got burnt by lightning strikes. The being we call Vecna is Henry/001 becoming part of the hive of the Mind Flayer. Increasing his strength and abilities over the years, with the help of the Mind Flayer (the tentacle/spider legs coming from the MF) he healed and became this “dark wizard.” The creatures of the Upside Down, like Vecna have memories and actions of their own but they remain part of the super organism called the Mind Flayer. Vecna is his own person, but now part of the hive, and as Dustin said is the Mind Flayer’s 5-Star General. Manipulating his desire for vengeance and psychic abilities that can be used to open portals. The only weakness we’ve seen the Mind Flayer has (other than heat) is that it can’t crossover to our side fully. Which is why they’ve been able to defeat it’s vessels. Were it able to physically enter our world, not just psychically, it would be a huge world crisis and likely the plot of season 5.
    208
  169. Chomsky was right. Republicans have no ideology. They just want power and to serve corporations. They’re not interested in politics, just serving greed without ideology.
    207
  170. Dude is droopy cause the souls of the innocent massacred by neoconservatism haunt him every night. Sadly that’s not true he has no remorse.
    207
  171. “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” — George Orwell, 1984
    207
  172. Capitalists are sick and greedy. Funny that being a Capitalist and Christian is clearly a contradiction at this point. Being Christ-like from my recollection growing up never meant doing things for self-interest and profit.
    203
  173. Imagine if there were an actual Socialist movement. These fools can’t even handle some Social Democracy. History shows in pre-WW2 Europe Capitalist elites sided with the Fascists cause they feared Socialism. Rather Corporatism than anything that empowers labor.
    202
  174. Lol they are the equivalent of cartoon villains. Heil HYDRA
    202
  175. These moderate conservatives actually believe they’re any kind of left wing in politics
    201
  176. I get the moral issue. Though I think pragmatically wait until he’s out of office. The cult of personality are too far gone to know what’s good for them.
    200
  177. Like a mix of all the worst models of government. Theocracy, nationalism, authoritarian... You motherfuckers are crazy! It reminds me of that scene from Revenge of the Sith when they’re all clapping cause Palpatine is grabbing imperial power.
    200
  178. Who says Antifa has to get violent? Just blow them whistles!
    198
  179. They haven’t propagandized this hard since Iraq. The same media that claims Trump is a Russian asset, a buffoon not fit for office, are hardcore pounding the drums of war.
    197
  180. Donated. Set to donate monthly. The shift of the Overton Window starts nationally now. I’m with you progressives and Soc Dems.
    197
  181. Don’t ever vote for anyone the establishment pushes on you, specifically in the primaries. Bernie or bust!
    197
  182. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. quotes: “I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic… [Capitalism] started out with a noble and high motive… but like most human systems it fell victim to the very thing it was revolting against. So today capitalism has out-lived its usefulness.” – Letter to Coretta Scott, July 18, 1952. “And one day we must ask the question, ‘Why are there forty million poor people in America? And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising questions about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth.’ When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy. And I’m simply saying that more and more, we’ve got to begin to ask questions about the whole society…” – Speech to Southern Christian Leadership Conference Atlanta, Georgia, August 16, 1967. “Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God’s children.” – Speech to the Negro American Labor Council, 1961. “We must recognize that we can’t solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power… this means a revolution of values and other things. We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together… you can’t really get rid of one without getting rid of the others… the whole structure of American life must be changed. America is a hypocritical nation and [we] must put [our] own house in order.”- Report to SCLC Staff, May 1967. “The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.” – Speech to SCLC Board, March 30, 1967. “You can’t talk about solving the economic problem of the Negro without talking about billions of dollars. You can’t talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of slums. You’re really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then. You are messing with captains of industry. Now this means that we are treading in difficult water, because it really means that we are saying that something is wrong with capitalism.” – Speech to his staff, 1966. “[W]e are saying that something is wrong … with capitalism…. There must be better distribution of wealth and maybe America must move toward a democratic socialism.” – Speech to his staff, 1966. “If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell.” – Speech at Bishop Charles Mason Temple of the Church of God in Christ in support of the Memphis sanitation workers’ strike on March 18th, 1968, two weeks before he was assassinated. Nothing has changed. We let it happen.
    193
  183. Kyle this smug moron literally said: “Americans are abusing the freedoms here when they could be worshipping God” ... my brain just numbed
    192
  184. Beto sucked up all the ridiculousness, only a little was left for cloudbootjar and Delaney
    191
  185. Orwell’s 1984. Not even kidding.
    187
  186. Neoliberals your time is up! Though it’s annoying that some of the right is taking all credit for the Yellow Vests and claiming it’s a protest against immigration or some bull. Clearly those leading this group are leftists protesting taxes that hurt the middle and working class. Gotta look at context and well reality.
    187
  187. So much for Christianity from these evangelicals
    186
  188. So much support for the troops. She turned away their cookies :(
    186
  189. America has a lot more authoritarian tendencies think you’d think. The authorities used by the State and wealthy donor class to maintain the working class in check. As well as minorities. Underclasses are in such a state in Capitalist regimes. Well until the class conscious awakens the workers towards solidarity to lose their chains.
    185
  190. I’d blame tribalism too. But actually it’s just Trump and McConnell being assholes.
    185
  191. Is this video trying to be funny with the whole Henry Cavill situation? Convenient timing.
    184
  192. Not shocking. Jesus’ proto-socialism is inconceivable to these evangelists. Living life for fellow man, and leading a life of piety and community is common message in most religions.
    183
  193. When reality is too much for your bubble
    182
  194. You ain’t for shit but neoliberal policy. He was good against Cruz, a turtle would be a better senator, but keep this guy in the primaries so that real progressives will shine.
    181
  195. They only care about children as underdeveloped fetuses. Once they’re born and if they are not indoctrinate to right wing sycophancy when older they don’t care about their lives.
    181
  196. How very Christian. Selective Christianity is both hilarious and sad. Jesus was Socialist and pacifist fool
    181
  197. We don’t see race we see policy substance
    180
  198. I’m sick of seeing this ignorance on Socialism and Communism. An ideology that advocates worker’s ownership of the means of production is seen as stealing and taking others money. Yet in Capitalism someone can own the Capital and have others sell their labor to work them. You literally make the money without having to work or do relatively anything. The projection is real.
    179
  199. “no punishment, in my opinion, is to great, for the man who can build his greatness upon his country's ruin” George Washington
    179
  200. Good things come to those who aren’t fascists. Everyone this guy has lied about should sue him
    178
  201. For a SocDem politician you’d make a good advisor.
    177
  202. I’m disturbed by their monopolies
    176
  203. She’s a looney and is now a minority within a minority in Congress. She’s going to give us many moments of entertainment alright!
    176
  204. Whistled like that under a mask…. impressive
    175
  205. Work to live and live to work is their way. Easy to say when the production goes to the concentrated wealth of a few at the expense of the labor of workers. Meanwhile they detest even giving measures to ease their burden such as Social Welfare or higher wages.
    175
  206. I can’t believe it! I’ve been waiting for a nobody to run for President! This is big news!
    174
  207. Drake saying he planted a mole to make him look like more of a deadbeat is certainly an angle to take I guess
    173
  208. Kid’s skull crushed because of American nationalism. What a civilized and advance nation some pretend to have
    170
  209. 16:05 whoever sent him old “Bold and Brash” is a G
    168
  210. Did prezzy Trumpy not get his wally? And the establishment machines really are acting like parents giving their kid a serious talk. The kind to talk to their kids instead of taking real disciplinary action.
    168
  211. I don’t know who I dislike more Doc Antle or Jeff Lowe... 🤔
    166
  212. Everyone has the Infinity hype and I’m glad to see this channel isn’t apart from it 👏
    166
  213. Neoliberalism is the economic doctrine of Chicago School and Milton Friedman. It spread in politics with Reagan and Thatcher. Democrats are center-right.
    165
  214. Our lives are a literal parody. How civilization is failing.
    164
  215. And they call themselves God fearing Americans. If there is a hell there’s a whole dimension for American politicians. What an imperialist war pig.
    164
  216. Romneycare gotta go anyway. Until the better alternative though. Medicare 4 All on the way
    163
  217. The right wing is always about more authority and hierarchy, know that. Since the French Revolution that is it’s definition
    163
  218. On my side of social organization we believe in total recall in any representative elected office. That is basic representative democratic election to an office is subject to immediate recall and removal from said position whenever they are deemed not representing the interests of the group. No waiting for period elections, just immediate action.
    163
  219. Moderate Conservatism has taken over the Democratic Party. There hasn’t been a proper liberal party since FDR.
    162
  220. I thought it was obvious Jews don't believe in Jesus as the messiah lol
    162
  221. Think Kamala will be the establishment stooge cause identity politics
    162
  222. “Empire” that’s the problem. Republics aren’t supposed to be empires. It’s their downfall
    161
  223. Is she a racist now too? That’s the logic the establishment uses. Identity politics to play partisan hackery
    160
  224. The establishment’s problem is that they don’t do anything except capitulate to corporations and the right on policy.
    160
  225. Dude was amongst the first to get vaccinated in the world
    159
  226. Lol he has found the grift of the century. This guy might just be the greatest conman of all time. Enough to win the presidency and then profit the hell out it afterwards.
    158
  227. Imagine hating or caring this much about not being able to force others to live as you want. 😢 Protect INDIVIDUAL and CIVIL liberties
    157
  228. We saw this coming yesterday. They might as well refer to the Redditers as “financial terrorists”
    157
  229. That made me laugh. More political illiteracy. “Socializum is when the gov’ment duz thangz!” -Karl Marx
    155
  230. My dude don't need a debate to hand her her ass lol
    155
  231. Cause money is their God. Capitalism calls for the self destruction of the human race so long as certain individuals get their profits.
    154
  232. The "fiscal conservatives" always end up with deficits bigger than even the Democrats lol Knowing that and their firm belief in supply side economics tells you all you need to know about their intelligence of economics p.s. lol O'Reilly
    153
  233. This is the best you can hope from Catholics/conservative Christians. Protect LGBTQ from government and legislative oppression; still view it as sinful and not support religious marriage in their institutions
    152
  234. Just mention his son’s name next to corruption and he’ll become a schizophrenic
    151
  235. Neoliberals haven’t the balls for anything.
    150
  236. Been looking forward for the take. My grievance with this is that we were robbed of one of the greatest fictional villains of all time. With proper build up she would have been as iconic an antagonist as Vader, Voldemort, Thanos etc....
    149
  237. They asked for it. They keep making Trump look like the anti-establishment victim being attacked. They are so shit at their job, that’s to be expected when 6 corporations own the MSM
    149
  238. They only care to defend Israel’s pro-Capitalist right wing agenda. If Israel had a left government I wonder if their views on Israel change and then they’re the villains.
    148
  239. I really want to see the tax returns and family finances. The amount of human filth you'll find there will be memorable.
    147
  240. Joe “I learned about roaches” Biden at it again
    146
  241. I freaking love her commitment to going against the status quo of the military-industrial complex and business of war. Our foreign policy is as primitive as the empires of old.
    144
  242. “Religious freedom” = evangelist extreme fundamentalism. The religious right Barry Goldwater warned us about
    143
  243. Amazing how “real Americans” sooner believe corporations about climate change over professional climatologists
    143
  244. Even our furthest left Democrats (Progressive New Deal Social Democrats) are moderate center-left politicians. The political illiteracy in this country I swear.
    143
  245. The fact that no one, not even DeAsshole said woke much at the debate says it all. Not even when asked about education or trans athletes
    143
  246. Love them both! Aang is the OG that ended 100 years of war. Korra did her thing overcoming insurmountable threats in relatively short period. Avatars are badasses
    141
  247. So he fears progressivism and socialism over... elitist corporatism, neoliberalism and neoconservatism. The free market is at the point where the income gap is so wide if it keeps up people will start getting desperate.
    138
  248. That Denzel movie John Q is getting closer to reality
    138
  249. Working at Mickey D’s is like Heaven!!! Long live capitalism! Don’t worry I’m not bothering these workers trying to do their job. They’re not annoyed!
    138
  250. Biden is way out of his head. He’s tarnishing the little legitimacy he has had over decades of being politician. But obviously that was a career spent in corruption and serving corporate donors.
    136
  251. “City manager” sounds exactly like a neoliberal managerial class move
    135
  252. I started to laugh when he first said “thoughts and prayers”
    134
  253. “If the enemy is making a mistake, let them” — Bonaparte
    134
  254. Trump is the caricature of plutocratic and kleptocratic rule of wealth and capitalists the far left have criticized for years come to life. A real political cartoon.
    133
  255. Finally! The Chomsky misconception annoys me because it gives newcomers to Anarchist philosophy a wrong idea and premise. There’s way better way to let people know that organization and order can be, if not only be, done by voluntary and free association and horizontal relations.
    133
  256. Party of Lincoln wouldn’t have confederate flag wavers.
    133
  257. This is what happens when war becomes a business solely. Profit from the destruction of human lives.
    132
  258. Took like 3 days for a story like this to make headlines. Imagine all the cases that aren’t covered into national or even state headlines.
    132
  259. That’s literally dope lol! Bernie’s a real one
    131
  260. They say they've always been for things when they become popular and wanted. This is no different. If we get universal healthcare they'll claim the Republican party was always for it just needed to find a way to implement it.
    131
  261. She’s my Senator. She’s going hard for the women’s vote. But of course corporate interests come first.
    131
  262. At least they’re celebrating a pathetic pseudo victory and not an actual regime change oil elitist victory
    130
  263. The guy thinks he's standing strong in doing this. If Schumer isn't a Republican mole within the Democrats all these years, he's politically confused. He's not center-right he's just in the right. No ideology? Seems conservative to me.
    130
  264. Blue states also subsidize red states and are the driving economies, especially urban hubs of the country. Also statistics have red states at higher crime rates
    130
  265. That's a man right there. No matter how masculine the conservatives pretend to be thinking every liberal male is a soyboy lol
    130
  266. Not surprising. Progressives are a minority in the House, in government in general.We have to primary these corporate sell outs and replace with grass roots candidates.
    130
  267. They sound like the Church in medieval times when empiricists and scientists came out with their observations and rational inquiry.
    129
  268. Christianity is fundamentally anti-capitalist. Earliest Christian sects were basically Communists. Most religions advocate a life of piety and brotherhood of community, not material possessions and exploitation of the poor.
    129
  269. Pope Francis needs to give Biden a good ear pull and lecture
    127
  270. No successor of MLK like Bernie. At least someone remembers what MLK fought for.
    127
  271. This was in fact the most worthless town hall so far. Mike from HR was right it puts you to sleep.
    127
  272. Be prepared for fierce propaganda and frustrating corporate media to shill like never before. If this were an actual Democratic Socialists Revolution (even a non-violent one) they’d start supporting Trump
    125
  273. Movie analyses made me see Thor: Ragnarok in a new light. Initially I just liked it as a space adventure comedy. Then I saw videos that touched upon the imperial, colonial, and nationalist themes of the movie and it was mind blowing. Really give the movie depth, but unfortunately the seriousness is overwhelmed by the constant bathos.
    125
  274. Look at his face. He’s channeling all that Boomer rage. Bootyjudge is an old soul.
    125
  275. The system is built to follow partisan party lines instead of actually keeping checks and balances. Any “conservative” that does not seek to hold these Justices accountable for breach of ethics then they should never be allowed to masquerade as “traditionalists” or “republicans” again.
    123
  276. I swear every political ad generally is made to mock your intelligence
    123
  277. Conservative economics amounts to “ how can we maintain the wealthy elites in control”
    123
  278. Establishment so out of touch with reality they live in the Matrix
    121
  279. Colonizers will Colonize and help Colonizers to Colonize
    121
  280. Capitalism is pure Social Darwinian sociopathic primitive animal kingdom shit. No wonder the Nazis and Fascists loved it with their Social Darwinian belief systems.
    121
  281. The media fawns over Biden and never once covered his lies like being arrested in SA, Biden would not last a two hour debate one on one against Bernie
    121
  282. The American conservative faction is the only people in the world who deny Climate Change, left or right wing everywhere else people at least acknowledge it is happening. So that's all you need to know about American conservative's intellectual capacities.
    121
  283. CNN why do you think good journalism is serving the rich and fuckall the rest?
    121
  284. It’s sad how Orwellian the US is towards Communism and Socialism. They can’t even tell the difference between Socialism and Welfare. Socialism is a socioeconomic system, not State Capitalism, or government subsidies. It’s worker control of the means of production. Which is sad cause George Orwell was a true Democratic Socialist. Not a Social Democrat like Bernie, but a real post-Capitalist Socialist.
    120
  285. Kyle you should invite Richard Wolff and talk about Marxism, worker's co-ops, and the possibilities of democratization of the workplace and industry in America in the near future. The next step in liberty is economic and worker's freedom.
    119
  286. I hope he follows through, but the bosses will be on his ass. Policy is the most important thing when it comes to politics 🙄 Not to establishment media though.
    119
  287. I ain’t got no feelings nor do I think it “wrong” to say I don’t care if he dies. I’m not actively wishing for it, but I don’t have a single care to give about someone so blatantly hateful
    119
  288. "The oldest philosophy in the world is conservatism, and I go clear back to the first Greeks. ... When you say 'radical right' today, I think of these moneymaking ventures by fellows like Pat Robertson and others who are trying to take the Republican Party away from the Republican Party, and make a religious organization out of it. If that ever happens, kiss politics goodbye." — Freaking Barry Goldwater
    117
  289. The AnCap experiment isn’t going so well there is it? Pretty sure they’ll privatize conflict here in AnCapistan.
    117
  290. Jesus was literally a proto-Socialist pacifist. He’d be a Christian Socialist in today’s political landscape. Conservatives yet again being selective about their beliefs.
    117
  291. I’m not social democrat but last I checked people loved what she calls “socialism lite”. I believe they called it the New Deal and the two Roosevelt’s are remembered as the best presidents of the modern era.
    115
  292. This guy just continues to discredit himself as a political commentator. He’s politically illiterate. He called Andrew Neil a leftist.
    115
  293. Ironically Anarchism seeks a family institution founded on more traditionalist concepts, rather than the modernist nuclear family. This being due to the nuclear family being a product of capitalism, whereas more fluid traditional familiar institutions were based in communal child-rearing. You’ll always have the personal and direct parent-children familiar social relations; but supplement that with community child rearing, where all children are protected and guided by all adults in a specific community could produce more liberating social relations. Progress would be implementing anarchist ideals to our conceptions of family, in the context of the modern world
    114
  294. Here before they take it down again Not the actual video 😔
    114
  295. MSM eating at each other I really don’t care
    114
  296. Lula was screwed by the elites of Brazil and political establishment. Goes to show they don’t even want to concede a fraction of benefits to the working and poor people.
    113
  297. Reminiscent of Reagan when he showed signs of dementia. That and the neoliberalism.
    113
  298. We have to deal with both Fascists and Theocrats from the social conservative right wing.
    113
  299. John Stuart Mill had it right a century ago “I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. I believe that to be so obvious and undeniable a fact that I hardly think any hon. Gentleman will question it.”
    113
  300. that Pledge of Allegiance was authored by a Socialist. Ironic isn’t it
    113
  301. The government is now getting involved in a consumerist-capitalist cancel culture sociocultural issue.... what can go wrong?
    113
  302. Without a doubt American authoritarianism was always a thing.
    113
  303. My gosh the horror! The tyranny! Someone respected disabled viewers! 😱
    112
  304. Our government is actually doing good?!
    112
  305. That’s just one of the problems with Capitalism. Accumulating wealth, yet it’s never enough. And the public are sold the lie that you will one day reach that level of wealth in your lifetime. Sure win the lotto or invent something you can patent. Truth is innovation isn’t driven by profit but human ingenuity and passion to their craft. Lincoln warned even about valuing Capital over labor. A lot of Socialist movements in America supported the GOP in those days, and Marx even wrote to him on his victories. “This crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future career.” - Albert Einstein “Why Socialism?”
    111
  306. Rand Paul needs to leave the term libertarian to Anarchists.
    111
  307. It’s a return to Fascism plain and simple. Once again they blame immigrants, “The Others” for their woes. Decades of neoliberalism and rule by multi-national corporations and they still play right into the game of the Capitalists and Corporatists. They cry about preserving “Western civilization” and white or European culture. As if these things were all monolithic. Truth is Western Civilization is the progress and liberation of humanity, towards individual freedom, and equality of liberty. Yet these white nationalists, supremacists, neo-Nazis all fall to tribalistic collectivism and nation- or ethno-Statism and think they’re preserving Western Civilization. Fascism is the collective of the nation-State or ethnic-State over everything else. We see it for what it is, tribalism and hatred, blaming others for the systemic problems brought on by the established order.
    111
  308. Woke was just appropriation by conservatives and liberals, as usual, of Black vernacular and ideals. Woke started from the Black community’s experience and telling each other to stay aware of this country’s racist tendencies, no matter how banal. Stay woke is a Black cultural statement of their American experiences. Jordan Peele’s Get Out was a film about being Woke
    111
  309. That’s right stop the BS. Accept the trash that you are.
    110
  310. Future generations will recognize this era of the country as the age of dumbassery
    110
  311. Reminds me of his Simon and Garfunkel “America” ad in 2016
    109
  312. Establishment and centrist sycophants can’t handle that their ignorance and negligence has given this country to Corporations! Truth hurts
    109
  313. That's what's up. They may have realized Bernie's the only actual Social Democrat in the election.
    108
  314. Hopefully it’s for progressive fervor not just getting Trump out of office for more establishment BS.
    108
  315. The Matrix is about “the system.” It’s as old as the Cave Allegory. Capitalism is the modern system of the ruling elite. The primacy of of capital and wealth is a plutocratic state of affairs. All underclasses are relegated to little more than consumers for the capitalist elites. It also exacerbates the greed of humans, selfishness, and promotes a hedonistic culture. All is commodified for profit interest. Even liberal ideals, and Republican sense of civic duty and rights are eroding to leaving people’s societal role as just consumers. Break out of the system.
    108
  316. The Corporate Democrats: Grand standing and stroking their egos Republicans: the hive mind group think tank protecting their Queen Bee no matter how out of touch and ridiculous they look Progressives: bring out actual substance and note worthy facts. Though anyone not in the Maga cult of personality and of decent cognitive function knew or suspected what was revealed.

  317. Every once and awhile the working class must get thrown a bone

  322. DENY. DEFEND. DEPOSE.

  323. The funny thing about this is right wingers actually see this as validation that Obama was a Marxist policy maker lol
    105
  324. She’s the one. If there ever was a successor to Sanders.
    105
  325. Love your Soul Stone analysis.

  326. Never met a war he didn’t like, was another corporate stooge, and approved of the mass murders in Yemen by the Saudi’s until his last day.
    105
  327. But subsidize corporations won’t you?
    105
  328. Sorry neoliberals I don’t have the privilege of worrying about Trump like he’s the worst thing that’s happened to this country (another privileged take on modern history). Unfettered capitalism, like the neoliberals love, lead to Fascism last time history checked. The struggle of the proles and farmers is real right now
    104
  329. So he had the power and did nothing. Now he’s for progression... The big pharma checks must not be coming in anymore. “New idea” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  332. Watch him crash and burn like Hindenburg. As soon as he opens his mouth his support wanes
    102
  333. So he convinced someone to go from far right establishment to a little more left to center-right establishment. What an admirable accomplishment.
    102
  334. This jingoistic foreign policy has to be replaced quickly. This country is right wing in everything
    101
  335. My senator all grown up and corrupt running for presidential nominee!
    101
  336.  @palashsinha6680  but it is cause they mentioned this character in season 1. So even though it has to do with Mexican cartels chronologically this happened before Medellin and Cali.
    101
  337. Political hackery. Tribalisms and demonization of “the Others” so long as their paychecks come correct on schedule
    101
  338. Interesting that in the Boys Shetty would probably been portrayed a more of a protagonist, but we all know Butcher’s and the Boys perspective. They’re not completely anti-Supes, they have personal vendettas against certain Supes, and the power of Vought. They want to target Vought’s corruption and it’s “bad products.” Shetty went full genocide when the Boys are willing to work with the good Supes. Now they even have Starlight on the team officially. The OG Guardians of Godolkin provide us a team of Supes that is are not anti-heroes like the Boys, nor are they more Vought villains, they’re in a X-Men vibe. And Cate is more like Magneto leading a brotherhood of mutants, Supes supremacists despite Andre being the one with magnetic powers

  346. And having Republicans speaking at the DNC is standard. But it’s no surprise coming from a center right party
    97
  347. Just like Obama she talks a good game but she’s a party loyalist and while she’s confrontational to the corporate class establishment, she’s an ally to the political class establishment.
    97
  348. It’s true. Their IQs are compatible.

  351. Pretty sure that was Teddy Roosevelt. Early feminist, was a white man’s burden racist but still invited the first black guess to dine with his family at the White House, didn’t just talk took action like actually fighting in war with the Rough Riders which was one of the more diverse groups, was a pugilist, went from a sick boy to adventurist spirit, fought police corruption as NY commissioner with his bare hands, got shot and gave over an hour of speech, advocates national healthcare, progressive precursor to FDR etc....
    96
  352. Sounds like his people. The swamp creatures always scheming
    96
  353. It’s official their brains broke. They’re going to go with a Jew being anti-Semitic.... I can see the self-hating Jew headlines already. No shame or respect for the guy’s family history.
    96
  354. Just ask yourselves who stands to profit out of war with Iran and you’ll find the War Pigs. Gen'rals gathered in their masses, Just like witches at black masses Evil minds that plot destruction, Sorcerer of death's construction In the fields the bodies burning, As the war machine keeps turning Death and hatred to mankind, Poisoning their brainwashed minds Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role for the poor, yeah Time will tell on their power minds, Making war just for fun Treating people just like pawns in chess, Wait 'till their judgement day comes
    96
  355. What can I say? The workers have nothing to lose but their chains ⛓️ You’ll find that the radical notion of abolishing government, state, borders, and class hierarchies coincides with the desire for freedom. Personally I’m partial to anarchism though 🏴🚩

    92
  360. He saw the polls. But come on the guy is Dixiecrat light. He’s been in Congress for so long, he’s a moderate Democrat from the 70s. Which means today he’s practically a Republican. A Reagan neoliberal.

    89
  365. Nice to see Doel getting all this exposure among progressive groups.
    88
  366. Vecna’s story reminds me of two fictional characters with similar stories. Tom Riddle/ Voldemort from Harry Potter and Amon/Noatak from Legend of Korra.
    87
  367. I don’t know. A lot of people that talk guns don’t know much. Gun rights are a civic responsibility and benefit. Especially minority groups who can defend their neighborhoods as did the Black Panthers. However the mass massacre issue HAS to be addressed. Some regulation of gun ownership is warranted. I suggest period psyche evaluations, mental health records, a mandatory examination to know if one is capable of higher grade arms if they wish to have those and other such measures. Truth is there has to be an investigation into this relatively recent phenomena. I think it’s the gun culture where arms become more than just a tool and a symbol of power or masculinity. That must be addressed cause it is a relatively recent phenomena these mass shootings. Truly a complicated issue.
    87
  368. That name... I could say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious easily but that name... I couldn’t
    86
  369. You’re right wing, not right. Actual progressives care about humanitarianism, freedom from poverty, liberalism, and actual representative democracy.
    86
  370. I like his right wing twists on the subject. Regulations are the problem? The problem is there are barely any! Bernie’s proposed bill definitely appeals to right wingers but the establishment won’t let it happen. And I like how he accuses the Democrats as being corporatists, cause Republicans and their corporate welfare aren’t beholden to big money. Or don’t have a reputation of being the wealthy party lol! Spouting nonsense to sell his book.
    86
  371. So World Killers are second-rate Doomsdays?
    86
  372. American politics are so skewed right Bernie the moderate center-left politician is considered an extreme far left socialist lol
    86
  373. That guy was further proof we live in a legitimate Kakistocracy. My gosh what a display of idiocy
    85
  374. The establishment pushing for Beto and Biden feels orchestrated. Absolutely no one in the country thought "hey you know who'd make a good President? Joe Biden!" or "white Barack Obama" Beto for Texas over Cruz for sure! For President hell no. Fear the Bern!!!
    85
  375. In Capitalism there is only freedom for property or capital owners. The reality is the majority of populations are always stripped of true freedom from those in power.

    82
  385.  @JonWood007  this is wrong. This isn’t her ideology. The sub is based on post-left anarchist texts of Bob Black and David Greaber. She just made a fool of herself and let the guy mock her in front of her face without explaining the ideals. This is why the sub and fellow moderators were embarrassed by the whole ordeal. They now look like bums without coherent or critical ideals
    82
  386. They’re talking about the new one. She went from old money heiress, to fashion establishment, to punk fashionista and Grrrl! power in the latest iteration. The ever changing societal values and expectations. Conservative, liberal capitalism, underclass anarchy
    82
  387. She said she’s ok with police racially profiling her brown son. I’m telling you there are no more conservatives. It’s a party of evangelist fundamentalists, bigots, and conspiracy loonies ripe for fascist radicalization. Take it from one of the most prominent conservative American ideologues: “Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.” ― Barry Goldwater (5 time Republican senator from Arizona; candidate for president in 1964) quoted in a Washington Post interview, 1994. And modern political scientist and Conservative Norman Orstein has called the Republican Party ‘an insurgency of radicals not interested in parliamentary politics or data.’
    82
  388. Shapiro is another of these political illiterates. He honestly believes the crap he says more than others. Doesn’t know what’s left wing cause everything he doesn’t like is extremism.
    81
  389. Yeah it won’t be pretty. And the Dems will blame progressives and independents because they feel entitled to their votes
    81
  390. That’s a legitimate question? Bernie is someone who can actually call himself a modern Social Liberal. Biden is a neoliberal corporate tool.
    81
  391. Well that's cause Fox News don't actually care about their proclaimed religion, Mammon is their true god. I agree we need immigration law reform where people are treated with human dignity, a not xenophobic asshattery.

    75
  415. What the hell is that?! These people are just trigger happy. They’re so poorly trained they’re scared of poodles

  426. I blame working hours and the need for earning a wage for a living why a lot of people are uninformed and only buy mainstream media BS cause their work life gets in the way of the majority of people participating in politics at a level that counts. Majority of people don’t have time to participate in democracy honestly. Their immediate concerns are over any political nuance. It’s just how it is. Which is why we have to do what we can to inform the general public.

  427. The richer getting richer screwing over the average person. Same old, same old

  428. The entire center-right Third Way ideology is keep the underclasses on some welfare so they’d shut the hell up, and neoliberal free trade and globalization for a capitalist world order. No surprise

  431.  @SECONDQUEST the title is referring to the advent of social strata in Chinese social history. It’s about China, not claiming inequality was a sole Chinese institution or even the first. That would be the city-states of Sumeria as far as recorded history goes

  432. It’s always capitalism. What do you expect?

  438. @recniabsal Nope. They are heroes to a brainwashed people who became subjugated to the propaganda and fear of tyrannical regimes.The Communist Party of China and Russian oligarchs have people complacent in their disillusions. Figures like Mikhail Bakunin, and Emma Goldman were disgusted at Stalinism and what became of the Bolshevik Revolution. They continued their work and are hailed today as influential to modern Anarchism. Dictatorship,command economy, and State control and ownership is inherently anti-Socialist and anti-Communist. Socialism means social ownership, not State ownership. Hence actual left wing ideologues condemn such figures as Stalin and Mao as having anything to do with the Socialist ideology.

  440. “If one has to refer to any of the parties as a terrorist state, one might refer to the Israeli government, because they are the people who are slaughtering defenseless and innocent Arabs in the occupied [Palestinian] territories, and we don’t regard that as acceptable.” (1990) “The United Nations took a strong stand against apartheid; and over the years, an international consensus was built, which helped to bring an end to this iniquitous system…but we know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.” (1997) - Nelson Mandela

  449. The middle ground between Third Way right Centrism and right is right wing status quo trash
    66
  450. MartianManHunter2258 Libertarians were originally anarchists, anti-authoritarian socialists. Libertarian/Anarchist Socialism is the wing of socialist ideology that is anti-statist and has always been anti-capitalist. The first to coin the term Libertarian ( a synonym for Anarchism) was the Anarchist-Communist Joseph Dejacque. A Libertarian Socialist can either be Communist, or support forms of Market Socialism.
    66

  454.  @bustedloads9045 force no. It’s just civil rights of non-discrimination. No one is making laws forcing people to change genders or even acceptance, it’s just tolerance for individual liberties
    65
  455. “He was a hero, a martyr! He was for “liberals” when he said things about Trump! Ahyuk!” The establishment milking a passing for as much political points as it’s worth.
    65
  456. So much for “free markets” Fed already gives subsidies to oil
    65
  457. Republicans should admit they aren’t for actual state rights and limited government. It’s very selective and just political rhetoric to maintain POWER
    65
  458. I don’t have sympathy for someone threatening lives like that. However this is proof that the American Empire is collapsing. People are struggling and being lead to extreme ends. So much for conservatives trying to preserve the fragile social fabric and continuity of “civilization”
    65
  459. Of course Star Wars, anything else would have been lying.

    64
  462. A brilliant bill indeed. Sanders proving yet again why he is the most popular politician, cause he’s for the populace. And this bill’s political acumen is just a stroke of genius, it would appeal to right wingers. But yeah corporatism is the government of the USA.
    64
  463. Can’t be a corporatist or a neoliberal and claim to be progressive. He should be in the Republican Party honestly. Funny he’s proud of his boomer generation that let Corporatism take over the country and turned the Democratic Party from FDR Social Liberalism to Neoliberal corporatists.... Not all Boomers were clueless of course, but it’s the generation that let the political landscape move far right.
    64
  464. That was so insulting how they portrayed Frederick Douglass. William Lloyd Garrison was a radical abolitionist and Christian anarchist arguably. But Douglass didn’t compromise, he worked for radical abolition in the system and without, convinced in using radical libertarian Lysander Spooner’s arguments as to why slavery was Unconstitutional. That’s why he argued a Constitutional legal point against slavery. It spoke to more moderate and traditionalists, but also transformed the very legal framework. Spooner actually wanted the abolition of the Constitution. Douglass would take any available avenues, and supported John Browns crusade.
    64
  465. @2:38 wow that’s actually pretty really Democratic Socialist. Representatives (Delegates) being paid a common wage not far from the workers
    63
  466. He’ll use Jesus to support his xenophobia and conservative hogwash

  467. A weak coalition that was supposed to be more “moderate” than Netanyahu. This unfortunately will continue so long as nationalists and right wingers remain in power. And so long as the West continues their chess game without humanitarian concerns.
    63
  468. I also enjoyed Zizek exposing what I already knew. Peterson’s whole “post-Modern Marxism” shtick has nothing to do with actual Marxism. It’s Sociological Conflict Theory, while a Theory inspired by Marx’s class struggle, oppressor vs oppressed, theories of historical materialism; it is not Marxism. It’s like saying Social Darwinism, a social theory from Herbert Spencer and such, is Darwinism. Charles Darwin’s theories were the influence for this social theory, Darwin himself had nothing to do with it nor was it Darwinism, it in fact contradicts his research.
    63
  469. It’s official. The US isn’t a Democratic Republic at all. The alliance of corporate and State powers is the ideal Fascist model of socio-economic organization, aka Corporatism. But what we have here is even worse in a way. It is not an ideological path taken, it’s blatant corruption and undermining of our democratic institution and hiding it behind a veil of a “liberal democracy” or “Republic.” We are an Oligarchy of special interest groups, corporations maintaining a status quo with politicians to maintain wealth and power in a cycle of corruption.
    63
  470. “But it bans air travel!” Lol McConnell is trying to undermine it in the Senate, as if it would ever pass their servitude to Corporations
    63
  471. Neoliberals are conservative right wing so it’s no surprise. They killed nearly all modern liberalism of the New Deal days and forgot about the Four Freedoms ( Freedom From Want, Freedom From Fear, Freedom of Worship, and Freedom of Speech). These are the bureaucrats that shifted politics from the public to corporate interests and right wing economics. Democratic Corporate Conservative Coalition

  475. We all know what causes poverty. It’s literally it’s nature to create underclasses. My gosh these conservatives actually believe they’re for liberty. They’re not even actually for minimal government and they’re as laissez faire as you can be before reaching right Libertarian and AnCap levels. And Cortez wants Socialism? Lol
    62
  476. Republicans truly are a radical insurgency not interested in facts or politics. They want power to serve their corporate overlords and have little to no convictions or political values.

    61
  480. Best way to describe it “takes a brain dump” lol They also rolled tanks into British territory and fighter planes bombarded the forts as tanks broke the stragglers. General Washington threatened to go nuclear on the Crown if ‘Merica wasn’t liberated from tea and biscuits immediately.

  483. Beau of the Fifth covered this. It’s actually dumb as hell. Would they blow a fuse if they knew the Pledge of Allegiance as it’s done today was created by Francis Bellamy a Christian Socialist. And he didn’t put the part with God in there. That was Eisenhower.

  494. You don't have a brain if you love and support someone that claims to be liberal yet supports Trump in order to "trigger the sjws" the guy enjoys healthcare coverage yet he is pro-Republican in the States. A disingenuous PoS

  498. They're not. They are going to ask for asylum and then the process determines whether they'll be let in or not. Trump is giving the order to just not let anyone in and turn them all back. I don't see the lawbreaking.

  503. They had archives on Dr. King and Albert Einstein. You see they think all Socialism is Statist. But make no mistake they are also against Libertarian Leftism.
    58
  504. These two need to be the next ballot ticket for presidency and vice presidency. Bernie isn't wasting saliva, he's campaigning himself for presidency by actually fighting for the people and putting in work as a public servant.
    58
  505. Don’t take the bait. Carlson wants to divide simply by having Smalls on his show. He wants to hurt support for the Unionzers

    56
  517. At it again. This country is so shit in forgetting the American worker over the corporations.They gutted labor unions for capitalist interests, sorely missing today. We need labor unions! Labor strikes! True Socialism empowers the workers. And I'm no Socialist even, I'm a Social Democrat and the Nordic model is truly inspiring. Government should protect consumers and workers rights. Just let us have strong labor unions unhindered and we'll do the rest.
    56

    56
  520. So what’s the problem in calling these “religious” nuts Fascists?
    56
  521. Paleo conservatism? Eww. Republicans aren’t a normal party anymore. Their base is strictly evangelist theocrats and conspiracy nuts. They’re too close to nationalist populism. Which is xenophobic and authoritarian. Funny how they’re always on about “far left radicals” but no one pays attention to the obvious actual far right leanings of the Republican Party. Obviously that’s too much to ask from MSM and the Democrats.
    56
  522. The American people need to stop disappointing me. I’m not a social democrat even but I can see how beneficial the policies would be for most people. If only voting for your own interests were more a thing
    56
  523. That was garbage. Corporatism is disgusting. And actually Libertarian Socialism is the original Libertarianism
    56
  524. To be honest in this atmosphere it’s not surprising. And these politicians get no sympathy
    55
  525.  @myebbad how?

  526. Never let anyone that supports monopoly patents talk to you of free markets again

    54
  537. In Harry Potter “the Master of Death” is one who has accepted it. I always though Arya’s arc was about a traumatized young girl who loses so much and finds empowerment in violence and death. And that ultimately her journey will lead to finding her humanity again in those small but poignant human moments with family and good people. Or she’ll be lost to the violence and a faceless agent of death. The show I feel hasn’t really kept this arc and now just wants a badass assassin without deeper meaning. However as always you make some interesting and thoughtful points. I think Arya is is a great character, and if given more such depth, she’ll be exceptionally memorable. I think her being a Master of Death will mean understanding it’s consequences, it’s inevitability, and it’s more merciful or even benevolent aspects. Life is worth serving death, and death serving life, and both must be shown it’s respects as forces of nature.
    54
  538. The American Christian mores showing again. What a God loving and Christian system we have developed here. According to conservatives America was built s Christian nation lol
    54
  539. It’s like when the capitalist class agree to capitulate to the worker class so that by “granting” a few demands they remain in control.

  543. Notice when Republicans do such things the word “socialism” disappears from their rhetoric.

    52
  552. Oh how they loathe the poor and laborers. Elitism at it's finest.
    52
  553. Yet by their crap definition of “socialism” they are all for “socializing” corporations. They’re a lot closer to State Capitalism than they think. So they’re both ignorant and hypocrites, not a good look. We are against socialism so we must subsidize corporations not the working people....

  557. Carlson isn’t a journalist. He has people writing his shows and looking for corporate talking points to serve the State and corporate hegemony. He’s just a talking head on tv and that’s what he’s paid for. An opinion piece that retorts culture conflict to distract his viewers from actually questioning those in power. And whenever they give a veneer of populist rhetoric it is nationalist. All MSM is State TV
    51
  558. Credit to Russell here. However I would say that the individual and egoism is the foundation of the original libertarian socialism, and socialism is necessary because it counters the right wing capitalist pseudo individualism. Real individualism is self autonomy, and social freedom. Under capitalism the majority are exploited, and takes orders daily from a capital owning boss. Socialism is the emancipation of labor, to own their capital, and be autonomous. An anarchist would have mopped the floor with Candace. Max Stirner > Ayn Rand

  564. The guy can’t face the reality of being an establishment hack. Does he have no self awareness? Millionaires paid by billionaires is the perfect description. Where was his staring into space look when faced with the reality of his role in the establishment. As for the historian, he has this smugness about him. But it’s good to see the establishment squirm.
    51
  565. Always disgusting to see the authoritarian power people believe imaginary lines hold
    51
  566. Lord Twigo nothing will change so long as we keep this socioeconomic system. Socialism, despite the many misconceptions, allows for market economy, as well as non-market. In the past market socialists laid the intellectual and practicable groundwork for an anti-capitalist economy where labor receives it’s full product, and an end to exploitation of labor by capital. The solutions have been there in the past, just that people remain ignorant of it and subject themselves to capitalist propaganda. That a system of classes and supremacy of capital owners in society is freedom.

  570. They're gonna have to push her left on the issues and fight the corporate donors and Republicans influencing her. My biggest fear, seeing as no progressive legislation would pass the Senate or Trump anyway, is that once again she'll hurt the next elections. Progressives have to let the people know they're in there, there are more to run, and they are actually about change.
    50
  571. People letting corporations and Capitalists rule over them have no idea what freedom is. Denver is getting the right idea though far from it. What happened to the “my property my choice” mentality of Capitalists. Wasn’t the body an individual’s “property.”
    49
  572. Shame those neoconservative warhawks! Their business of war is disgusting!
    49
  573. U. S. S. A. That level of labor exploitation is just disgusting. No one becomes so affluent from own labor, but by exploiting the labor of others.
    49
  574. I hate this constant whining from all sides of politics. There are times when someone may say something completely uncalled for, other times when it’s just immediate thoughts being let out. Everyone needs to stop being so sensitive, have thicker skin, and clap back when it’s warranted. Read George Orwell 1984, thought police can get the hell out of liberal or libertarian societies
    49
  575. Cause we don’t have free market or socialist economies, that’s what Capitalism gets you. If you want Markets you should be anti- Capitalist. Capitalism = proprietors accumulation of wealth and capital, selling commodities produced by wage labor. The capitalists are the elite ruling class.

  582. Anything to help alleviate the burdens of the working class kill it. They can’t stand even Social Democratic reform. Imagine how these out of touch sociopaths will react from a worker’s revolt. Then again to them wanting living wage is a worker’s revolt to be put down.

  585. Republicans can do it but Democrats can’t according to her. Truth is you’re both sell outs. Progressives like him are principled.
    48
  586. That’s what “Don’t Tread On Me” actually looks like. Take notes law and order conservatives. This is what it means to fight actual tyranny, not lick the boot
    48
  587. Well. We all know it but barely say it. This is not the land of the free unless you’re of the elite wealthy class. The oligarchic nightmare some of the Founding Fathers didn’t want has come to pass.
    48
  588. Great video on the psychological core of authoritarianism. Social systems and constructs tend to be continuing churning the basis of authoritarian statism, the individualist social darwinian leader, and the following herd complacency in perceived security and order. The collectivism of the majority, the hierarchy of the leaders.
    48
  589. Capitalism at work. Another example of Capitalist interests working with State authorities to do what they do, screw over the people. Capitalism will always need the State, it protects private property. They ally against the public.

  590. The Progressive Voice Sargon “left winger” of Akkad enjoys single payer healthcare in the UK but in America not having it triggers the libs so we can’t have it
    48
  591. Nitpick Chick that’s exactly it. We see the rushed and lazy writing. Instead of building up to a villainous character, as GRRM would do if it’s book canon, they’re going for the less nuanced “all it takes is one bad day.” Daenerys has always been more Maegor the Cruel, than Mad King Aerys, to her enemies that is. But remember “Madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin. Every time a new Targaryen is born, the gods toss the coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will land.” - GRRM

  592. Even Barry Goldwater warned us of these crazy religious nutcases. He said they were taking over the Republican Party but people (conservatives) just let it happen
    47
  593. They’re so comfortable not trying to hide it anymore. For real though these assholes gotta respect national sovereignty.
    47
  594. Happy Holidays ya’ll. Glad to piss off any reactionary over non issues
    47
  595. Weird that Fox News can be better at questioning from the left than the “liberal” 🤣 media. But it’s just a few times. They don’t hold Republicans to standards and question their corruption.
    47
  596. I’m just waiting for the debates to see this Hindenburg Biden go down in flames. Maybe make a game out of it and take shots every time he pisses his base off and insults the left, or defends the establishment and conservatives.
    47
  597. Yes we know the “kulturkampf” has always been important to right wingers.
    47
  598. That’s cause Corpse is there lol
    47
  599. That’s what “centrism” gets ya
    47
  600. Mark Johnston no one actually paid all of that, they found loopholes and went around it. But the very fact that it was 90% still meant the wealthy paid some pretty substantial taxes. Enough to build the American middle class via wealth distribution. I’m not a social democrat, they advocate what is actually called liberal corporatism. Government regulation and mediation between class interests. This preserves capitalism, doesn’t abolish it. It maintains classified society. And it centralizes and bureaucratizes agencies. I’m in favor of no taxation on labor income. Billionaires do not labor, their income is not dependent on direct labor therefore I could care less how they’re taxed. Also i don’t care if wage slave jobs are being undermined, it helps in pushing for worker cooperatives and worker self ownership. The only reasons billionaires exist is due to government privileges and legal favors for capital.
    47
  601. Did the check not come correct? Oh wait he’s actually politically center right now. That’s what being a blind loyalist to the Democratic Party gets you to.
    46
  602. Progressives making establishment puppets squirm was good to see. The Overton Window is shifting. And Bernie and progressive policies came out looking great. Delaney and the rest of the suits need to drop out, yet again they remind people how bad centrists and the establishment are.
    46
  603. Guess to some people freedom of religion means you’re free to be a Christian but nothing else...
    46
  604. Rather wait for the election to remove the fool. It would be a waste of time, money, and give ammo to annoying right wingers.
    46
  605. Chandasouk the wood bum was just... wow.
    46
  606. I ain’t saying your Republic is a lie. Cause it’s obvious. Welcome to the Plutocratic 💰 Oligarchy of America. Reaching Kleptocracy (rule of thieves and corruption) as well at this point.
    46
  607. We all saw it, it’s unmistakable. By the 9th day we’ll know if he’ll be alright or gets worse
    46
  608. And that paradigm shift should be self-sufficiency, autonomy, market socialism, decentralized planning, workers self management, federations of collectives and cooperatives, LVT, UBI, green economy etc.... in my view
    46
  609. “We paid for those chairs and those lights” yeah cause teachers and school administrators are exempt from taxes
    45
  610. Too big to fail. How was it we let it get that bad. Americans have been negligent in their duties to maintain their Republic from authoritarian forces. Be weary of concentrated wealth, power, and privilege.

  614. It took looking into Biden’s corruption to do this... such partisan hackery. Democrat elites have done what Trump tried to do with Biden. No principles. All of these corrupt suits need be stopped
    45
  615. It’s true. Bernie Sanders at most is a centrist or center-right social democrat in other developed nations. Our Democrats are equivalent to liberal parties in other nations that foster free trade and neoliberalism.
    45
  616. Now cover the Long Island Montauk Experiments
    45
  617. That’s better than what Cloudbootjar and BetOnMyStork are doing with their wasted time still on the campaign trail

  618. After Kamala going after Biden became the “winning” strategy. But only a few candidates have records clean enough, or are new, to even do it without being hypocritical. Kamala was not even one of those.
    45
  619.  @olliefoxx7165  George Orwell was a democratic socialist and he did not see Fascists as socialists. The term “privatization” was coined to describe the Nazi economic policy. Hitler always used privatization as a distinction against socialism affirm that national socialists weren’t socialists. Hitler claimed by socialism he means nationalism. Socialists were the first enemies sent to labor camps. Ever heard of the poem? Hitler even said “we could have been called the Liberal party” because they agreed with private property

  622. HotD is set to have the stronger conclusions and it does great at expanding on the book material. It likely will surpass it’s predecessor in critical acclaim and fans approval. And to be honest the one element of this franchise that everyone loves the most is House Targaryen and dragons.

  624. This frustrated me to no end! We are ageist, funny cause the oldest guy in America is our de facto leader. So the Justice Democrats who ran not on identity politics but actual policy substance and take no Corporate money are a problem lol I follow Kyle Kulinski one of the founders of JD can't wait to hear what he has to say lol
    44
  625. Social Democrats don’t understand Socialism as well . Either you’re for a classless post-Capitalist society or you’re not a Socialist. Capitalism is by definition not compatible with Socialism, which gets rid of private ownership and property. Kyle you should watch documentaries on Revolutionary Catalonia and read “Homage to Catalonia” by George Orwell to understand a Libertarian Socialist society and economy. That’s where you have an example of such a social organization that isn’t just theories.

    42
  645. Criticizes Bernie for “defending an authoritarian” yet claims he got arrested trying to visit Mandela. Nelson Mandela after prison personally visited to thank Castro and Cubans for all their aid and support in ending Apartheid. Castro sent doctors (Cuba has one of the best medicinal fields in the world) to help train South African medics.

  652. As a Socialist worker controlled corporations sounds great, haven’t heard much of that from politicians. Of course 40% or 60% to me is not enough. People should look up Mondragon in Spain, a worker coop corporation that is one of the largest and most successful.

  658. You know I see a lot of people acting like Chomsky betrayed them and are trashing him for saying he’s a harm reductionist. First off he’s far more left than social democrats so he didn’t betray you. Chomsky insists electoral politics are pointless, they aren’t an expression of core principles, they are just selecting a ruling class tool. He still insists, as an Anarchist, real structural change comes from Direct Action. The Civil Rights Movement didn’t try to get a Civil Rights champion into office to implement the agenda, they forced their hands through boycotts, sit-ins, civil disobedience, protests, media coverage etc... take a lesson from the real Left and take Direct Action.

But it has so happened in all ages of the world, that some have laboured, and others have, without labour, enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue. To [secure] to each labourer the whole product of his labour, or as nearly as possible, is a most worthy object of any good government." —The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln "Fragments of a Tariff Discussion"

  671. Chomsky said it best. The American political spectrum has moved so right mainstream New Deal Democrats like Bernie Sanders are considered extreme left, Moderate Republicans (Democratic Party) are considered as "liberal left," though to the right even these Republican lites are too far left. And the Republican Party are so off they don't function as a normal political party. They aren't interested in facts or engaging in politics, they're a radical insurgency who's only motives are serving the corporate class above everything without clear convictions or agendas based on political values. Maintaining power is everything.

  672. Yeah but I also don’t expect high school employees at a shitty min wage job to care much about immaculate service. There was no malicious intent, just ignorance. And the fathers response was more ignorant.

  691. The guy is as bad as Nate Silver with their “political analysis”
    38
  692. This is great and agree with everything. I’ll just say that historically speaking there are many influences we can take from indigenous cultures such as communitarianism, Confederalism, a spiritual view of social and nature relations etc…. But let’s not fall into the European “noble savage” myths. Indigenous peoples were the masters of their environment. Land Back yes! But there are traditionalisms the world is better off without even in indigenous cultures. Which is why I’m interested in learning more about how indigenous cultures synthesize with modern political ideologies like anarchism, since indigenous cultures themselves aren’t anarchism. I have to thank you Andrew, one of your videos lead me to the IAF-FAI to learn more about indigenous liberation and their views in solidarity
    38
  693. I know Social Democracy seems revolutionary in the US. But it’s a moderate and centrist approach. A large welfare state is no substitute for a classless and decentralized society. So long as the capitalist ruling class is sustained nothing will change.
    38
  694. Some would rather die than pay the price. Either way this guy deserves either one. Many powerful people want this guy dead.
    38
  695.  @DB-sd3cw  umm….. no it was propagated by the continual abuse of authority on lower classes and a people that have been colonized and discriminated as lower class since the founding. You don’t need the shitty Democratic Party or MSM to be enraged and tired of police abuse. The police is a State tool, and like the State it has to go. The movement to return the protection of our communities to community militias and watch groups is making a come back.

  697. Conbin Spark No it creates large disparities and puts the working class under the boot of a wealthy elite who accumulate their capital at the expense and labor of the workers. It’s a shit unethical system of self-interests competing. We have the means to prevent world hunger, and shelter the poor, but under Capitalism it’s only profit that drives decisions. Why feed and shelter the homeless if there is no monetary incentive right? It just ensures wealth and power are in the hands of a few.
    38
  698. This crud undermines real anti-Semitism. Which tends to be a far right thing. From holocaust deniers, and “cultural Marxist” conspiracy theorists, they’re anti-Semitic. They were crying “Jews will not replace us!” a while back. But criticizing, or blatantly being against the Israeli government, or supporting Palestine Arabs rights isn’t that. Might I remind you Arabs are a Semitic people anyway.
    37
  699. I said it before. These people wouldn’t know leftism if they were hit with The Conquest of Bread in the face. It’s all doublespeak
    37
  700. All these conservative right wing pundits talk a good game. Not a single one of them would dare step up to a Noam Chomsky, or Richard Wolf. They’re scared of progressive youtube commentators (whom I like) let alone more prominent academics.

  701. Zach The Celtics Guy they just want limited government for corporate greed and agendas
    37
  702. Unfortunately she’s too flaky to me. I feel the establishment would walk all over her. Sometimes she sounds like an incrementalist too. I think we need to start using a Second Bill of Rights ala FDR as a litmus test for a progressive leader. The Four Freedoms still ring true today.

  705. Merry Christmas America
    37
  706. The thing about the USA is that it is so blinded by Capitalism they actually believe it’s a system that can create freedom when the results are the complete opposite. Somehow people are lead to believe self-interests competing is beneficial to the greater society... and that individuals being able to accumulate exorbitant capital at the expense and exploitation of workers to be an ideal system for freedom. A system that creates disparities, socioeconomic classes, and a ruling elite of wealthy capitalists, and corporate donors. At it’s foundation the GOP had the support of the socialist organizations in the country. While Lincoln believed that the laborer can one day become a well off owner and employer, which is possible but completely not good enough for Social equality and freedom, he also believed capital should not be valued more than labor. I’m obviously against Capitalism as a systemic institution of oppression and coercion. But regardless America failed it’s working class immensely. The employers and corporations are valued over the worker, the opposite of what even Lincoln believed. Unionization was gutted, wages remained stagnant, and workers are made to live a life of living by paycheck. Living to work, working to live. And American government and parties are reluctant to even alleviate the burdens of the working class by declaring Social Democratic reform too radical and fantastical. Even though other developed nations enjoy such measures. America truly is a most avaricious country, and Capitalism has taken it’s people their Republic (natural Constitutional rights) and Democracy (public influence on the polity or government).
    37
  707. See the thing about vulgar “libertarians” is they believe that all you have to do is take government out of it and things will be great without dealing with the existing corporations. They support working with supply side trash corporate Keynesians because deregulation’s. Liberty is subjugation to government backed notes and species
    37
  708. Caleb Counts Identity Politics is only useful when used to see how different groups are affected by the same Statism and capitalism that effects everyone. That is to say under this oppressive class system poor black communities have it even worse than poor White communities as they have to face not only capitalism but racial based injustice. That’s how identity politics should be used. But elitists use it as a weapon and tokenism to keep minority groups in line. I think identity politics are important, but it is class that unites all. As race, ethnicity, religion, gender etc... are all ultimately social constructs used by the ruling class to divide and conquer. They keep this social stratification cause it benefits them by preventing people uniting as common human beings.
    37
  709. Meanwhile reality showed Nelson Mandela thanking Castro and Cuba for being their strongest ally against Apartheid. Communist Cuba always was strongly against racism, and in solidarity with colonized people’s. To not be objective and nuanced is the neoliberal privileged way.

  710. The city knew this going in. The struggle continues. Each community needs to organize community and cop watch groups. Actual leftism is direct action and opposing the State. Mutual Aid

  712. Party of small government only when it comes to private capitalist interests that rule the country. These a-holes worship Mammon over your Judeo-Christian God.

  714. Good! I want Bernie to leave this world knowing the change is incoming. He deserves that much for being a politician with integrity and serving the people in his many years of public service.
    36
  715. Fox looks idiotic every time they attack things like free college, and medicare for all. They're so used to fighting center-right neoliberal elites they don't know how to handle actual leftists cause they don't have arguments against the policy other than talking points and fear mongering.
    36
  716. Scrambling words to bypass YouTube regulations nice lol
    36
  717. You mean the “halls of conservative intelligentsia” Lol nothing but a group of political illiterates. Not one knows what Socialism actually is.

    36
  719. The debates need to happen so I can watch the Hindenburg Biden go down
    36
  720. You better realize they didn't won just because of their sex or gender. Truth is most of the women were progressives. Look at the policy substance, that's what the people want. You morons would choose another corporate Democrat thinking they'll win on the basis of being female. It's the progressive movement that has the clout, you've learned nothing from the 2016 election. #Berniewouldhavewon

  725. How can the right sustain all the non-renewable resources without dying out first?
    36
  726. Andy Considering Communism is a stateless, moneyless, classless society where the community owns the factors of production and produce, through worker’s cooperatives, I doubt it. See Marxist-Leninism is one authoritarian strand of both Marxism and Socialism, and they never achieved Communism, but State Capitalism where the State replaces the private capitalists. They didn’t even get rid of wage labor, so they were pretty much Socialist Fascists that failed at emancipating the working class.
    36
  727. Neoliberals are waste of space. It’s past time we consider more serious means in dealing with these elitists.
    36
  728. The damn Democratic establishment. All the establishment.
    36
  729. Red Shield I’m an Anarchist idiot. I would see the dismantling of all unjustified hierarchies.
    36
  730. Crazy how a nation of people that were persecuted by ethnonationalists just want an ethnonationalist State of their own. Clearly they don’t represent all Jews, and they aren’t about liberal values
    35
  731. Crazy how we have to “fight” for it when every developed nations has proven it works. Goes to show you how far right American politics are
    35
  732. What federal republic? USA functions more as a syndicate than a nation.
    35
  733. The Breaking Points viewers are mostly Saager stans and supposed Saager like moderate “conservatives.” They trash Krystal every video, and they were defending this movie from Krystal’s critiques implying D’Souza had any merits. Most leftists and progressives clearly abandoned Breaking Points.
    35
  734. A bunch of right wingers are suddenly crying about SJWs and not being civil towards different opinions.... They completely deny Bush was a war criminal and think committing to torture and massacres is a valid “opinion” apparently. Tim Pool still pretending to be anything left wing after trying to defend Ellen on this? Ignorant tool
    35
  735. Don’t expect unserious people who believe in the righteousness of their own settler-colonialist state to rebuke another settler-colonial project
    35
  736. Fox and the establishment getting desperate and fearful of another FDR type of situation. Soon the neoliberals and conservatives will join into the next right wing political organization after the Trump kakistocracy.
    35
  737. CNN definitely the biggest losers. They are the worst aside from Fox.
    35
  738. look at that. Not surprising it takes loss of profit and economic concern so that select conservatives will start to begrudgingly look more closely at Climate Change. Notice how MSM never have actual experts or climate scientists on to discuss the issue.
    35
  739. Yep. Always get a smile when I hear these neoliberals dropping out
    35
  740. They only care about these things until it’s “cancelled”. I think Beau of the Fifth had the most accurate take on these things. Social attitudes change so those left behind feel they are being oppressed. In the past you had to hide being lgbt of you wanted a job or to cruise through larger society. Now society is more inclusive and progressing. Capitalism is crap, but markets themselves are telling. Companies cater to a larger and more inclusive demographic, because they see the social and cultural trends are ever progressing so they want to capitalize on that.
    34
  741. A lot of rural red state women are going to either openly or secretly vote Harris. No way they’ll let their princesses lose their bodily autonomy or risk regression in their futures. Emma made me realize how paper tiger the support for Trump potentially is
    34
  742. “You’re talking to Ye” is the most hilarious thing I’ve heard this week. This is the state of mainstream conservatism in the USA
    34
  743. “We want freedumb! That’s why we’re going to push for the forced installment of our dear leader because freedumb is when you give power to a state official!”

  744. While it’s weird that he didn’t vet the damn party he claims to be a founder of, this is great news and Dr. West is getting back on track

  745. “Biden and family are corrupt, believe me! But not the Trumps!” — Trump
    34
  746.  @lip124  conservatism of the classical (Adams-Hamilton) tradition sure. Regressive extremism and reactionary garbage? Nah. Conservatives need to take back the right
    34
  747. I really appreciate your content. It helps me see the need and importance for national liberations as part of the wider anarchist movement. That obviously Anarchists are a world beyond the national, but it also means diversity of flourishing cultures and peoples, associating freely in a libertarian world without borders or limits.
    34
  748. Gasp! The surprises keep getting more unbelievable! Such random coincidences!
    34
  749.  @Ataylor96  does it hurt? That Fox and these grifters call their viewers hicks and laugh at what they’re doing behind cameras? They’re just Big Brother. At least Kyle is an independent who doesn’t pretend to be a professional journalist
    34
  750. Love when someone goes into mainstream media and nearly bursts their elitist bubble.
    34
  751. Republicans are so corrupt and so servile to corporations they have to rely in the most uneducated, bigoted, and religious sycophants in the country as their base. It’s the only way they get votes, the only educated Republican supporters are well to do and wealthy people who understand the Republican policy will help them sustain wealth and increase it.
    34
  752. So it’s a problem that you just do the bare minimum for minimum wage now? Lol
    34
  753. Ima Carrot You’re not my friend. The right is full of followers, they need a father figure cause they’re insecure in their “manlyhood” So they flock towards the likes of Gavin, and Jones. Gavin is nothing more than a little bitch who wouldn’t handle himself well in a scuffle on his own. He talks chauvinism, and disassociates himself from his group when convenient. The right is full of cult of personalities. How about you think for yourself and don’t cry to people like Jorden Petersen to help you feel like a man by cleaning your room or some other bullshit.
    33
  754. The “urban residuals” Lol They got nothing!
    33
  755. You can see her losing brain cells in real time
    33
  756. DAMN! That was one of the best moments of his presidency
    33
  757. How completely avoidable were this a modern country and not the Gilded Age
    33
  758. They don’t wanna hear it but there’s a known history of right wingers infiltrating left wing protests to start violence to undermine them. Leftists are capable of violence no doubt, but right wingers sabotage to make them look bad. I myself think violence is a political tool, always has been. Liberal revolutionaries weren’t law abiding subjects. Rebellion is the spark of revolution.
    33
  759.  @thediamondfighterusa5453  another moron that doesn't know what actual socialism is. Norm Ornstein and Thomas Mann are right in decrying the devolution of the Republican Party to a "radical insurgency" They're off the spectrum. Eisenhower said anyone that is against the New Deal should be kicked out of America. And here we have the devolution of the right, scared of Bernie, a New Deal Democrat as a radical extremist who wants to be rid of private ownership and give common ownership to workers. The ignorance of the American right hurts so much, they'll be calling Reagan a communist lefty soon.
    33
  760. Gabbard is my second.
    33
  761. @Pat Orsban you really think the Republicans don’t do that with our money? Who do you think funds their wars, or have to pay for the tax cuts corporations receive?
    33
  762. I’m sure Puerto Rico could have been saved too! But too much gay tolerance 🤦🏻‍♂️
    33
  763. Pathetic! Hope he ends up homeless soon like the Vets his party claims to give a single iota about. He wouldn't say yes to a policy Obama or Democrats suggested if the messiah he claims to follow told him to.
    33
  764. They acting like students wouldn’t be posting that shit all over social media, or even bully people that actually use litter boxes for their needs
    33
  765.  @klkh.391  thankfully Malcolm saw the light after leaving the NoI, and came out in support of socialism, and denied Muslims should hold such bigoted views
    33
  766. Yang is good for the sustenance of capitalism. That’s a huge load of crap. I’m sick of a system of labor exploitation and dominance of capital in society. But to be fair his ideas are fresh and good on him for mentioning Thomas Paine, the greatest but most ignored of the founders. The earliest supporter of radical democracy, liberal socialism, worker’s egalitarianism, and social welfare.
    33
  767. I don’t trust this poll. But hey maybe he actually is representing his constituents. I rather doubt it. Let’s wait to see the next elections
    33
  768. “Follow the money” The corporate hegemony is consolidating their powers
    33
  769. Calimero Hœnir You’re telling me you don’t notice the obvious white identity politics, southern strategy, and blatant dog whistles of the Republican Party?
    33
  770. Light of The World ahh Cultural Marxism. One of the most oxyMORONIC ridiculous conspiracies of the far right and anti-Semitics.
    32
  771. So boomers accept the neoliberal era and rampant Capital-Corporatism taking over the political sphere; and informed millennials wanting to return to the ideology of Modern Liberalism and reform are the problem?
    32
  772. Tyler Moorman the despicable right wing Israeli government is also culpable of crimes against humanity. The US government aids them and the theocratic autocracy of Saudi Arabia as well. To them (US corporatocracy) it’s just about corporate profit and how conflict helps their bottom line. Israel is just as criminal as those Muslim nation’s. How about they all fuck off and the US actually only aids for humanitarian purposes. As for Omar, it takes some real political hackery to not understand that she’s against the Israeli government, not representative of all Jews, and that she is attacking special interest groups that buy off politicians. A lot of these AIPAC goofs are Christians that believe if they maintain Jews in Israel, Jesus will return and slaughter them... That is some crazy anti-Semitic shit right there.
    32
  773. He will triangulate, lie, and shill for Third Way
    32
  774. Ken93 Socialism is workers control of the means of production. Your ignorant comment is telling of Americans Cold War propaganda. It’s an Orwellian task to keep Socialism in a negative connotation, and guess what George Orwell was a true Democratic Socialist. Not a Social Democrat like Bernie Sanders but a real post-Capitalist Socialist.
    32
  775.  @JoJo-vg8dz  agreed. So people need to stop taking credit for things the generations of the past have done. They’re as much to be credited with those as they are to be blamed for atrocities committed. Nationalism is a garbage religion. Think for yourself
    32
  776. My own marijuana growing in the backyard. That’s what liberty is about
    32
  777.  @googlselzmiyinfo9040  better than third parties are doing. Progressives got more power in the last 2-4 years than the Green Party ever had. Unfortunately progressives are a minority in the House, so we gotta bear the struggles and keep steady. JD are already looking for more progressives to run by next election in all districts.
    32
  778. “Un-American violence” is the biggest load of crap this guy has said. Has he read American history?
    32
  779. Yes loss of privileges and greater egalitarianism often feels like oppression to the privileged
    32
  780. There’s the most progressive Democrat since FDR. Even conservative Eisenhower wasn’t as inept as these modern Third Way Democrats
    32
  781. daniel guillaume “I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle-man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.” — Major-General Smedley Butler
    32
  782.  @judeavision8807  you can be anti-Zionist without being anti-Semitic too. There have been anti-Zionist Jews since it was a political movement before WW2.
    31
  783. I also support GMO as modern tech that can help bolster biodiversity. I even think cloning can be beneficial towards animals facing extinction, or multiplying sustenance. Of course such projects are best served by community and socialist institutions rather than exploitative and greedy institutions
    31
  784. So Conservatives went ape shit over Biden give a speech in a dark tinted room with guards standing behind, which while arguably weird has been done by former Presidents. But Trump’s rallies go full cult of personality and big leader salute and not a peep from their own
    31
  785. We will watch Capitalism crumble, and then the Socialist economy rises from it’s ruins. It is as Marx foresaw. A Collectivized sector of industries should arise in the US. It’ll make the ultimate end of Capitalism and transition to a new economy easier.
    31
  786. I love Fetterman’s takedowns of Oz
    31
  787. I thought the point was more money in Medicare to make it universal... Isn’t it the Trump administration cutting budget from these programs.
    31
  788. His former boss was the deporter-in-chief
    31
  789. This case for the right is just a religious matter but it’s their religion not the nation’s. Government can’t make a woman make such a decision. This ain’t a theocracy, so keep it out of law unless it protects the rights of citizens.
    31
  790. That last quip at the Kennedies lol deadly
    31
  791. Independence he’s a theocrat. That guy doesn’t believe in democracy
    31
  792. Table full of Big Macs... never thought how hilarious that can be
    31
  793. Mike Figueredo just posted his own video on this
    31
  794. They’re authoritarians despite their rhetoric. Theta have no respect for individual autonomy
    31
  795. Oh the irony of the right wingers lol
    31
  796. lula libre that’s why Fox does it. Their viewership and target demographic are quickly becoming a minority of the most uneducated an bigoted
    31
  797. She was just making a joke, probably didn’t know what nizzle stands for. Also don’t think she meant any harm by that it, it’s just something that people associate with Snoop
    30
  798. So Conservatives believing in private property rights was all bullshit anyway
    30
  799. What can you expect in the Syndicate States of America! Pledge allegiance to the flag! 💵
    30
  800. The asylum has lost some patients. They’re on the loose!!!!
    30
  801. I can’t tell if he’s that bad or for once he saw the light and decided to do something good, and is helping Bernie and progressives by purposefully being so bad. How are you this bad?!!!!
    30
  802. DeathDoomDarkness how quickly they forget the Capitalist bourgeois liberal revolutions the world over. Property was seized by governments to grant to private individuals. Their revisionism is clearly an attempt to disregard intellectual arguments that have existed for centuries against private property and it’s alliance with State. Guess imperialism, colonialism, and slavery weren’t capitalist institutions where the private merchants and States profited and benefited from.
    30
  803. NDP is the progressive party. To their right are liberals and conservatives
    30
  804. They're poor, down trodden, but have human rights. It's amazing how conservatives fear the poor with little to no agency. Yet elect those that serve elites that rig the system against them in favor of the wealthy and corporate America.
    30
  805. Militarism and War for profit and economic incentive is literally a Fascistic agenda.
    30
  806. Tea Party was astroturf pseudo-libertarian fiscal conservative movement lead by corporate oligarchs. The Kochs calling themselves classical liberals is the most idiotic propaganda that embodies this movement.
    30
  807. Capitalism you wrought. What happened to “choices” and the good of consumer products?
    30
  808. This is our Watergate. Really important in the history of the Republic, and whatever precedent this sets.
    30
  809. This was his chance to drop out with some semblance of dignity lol
    30
  810. Exactly, why would Union supporters wave the flag of an enemy. Lincoln’s GOP was the party of liberal capitalists, the manufacturing class, the financial-banking class, the urban elites, and opposed to free trade as they were Hamiltonian and American School. They are confident people don’t know history so they get away with their false claims
    30
  811. Cuomo is a groupthink establishment jackass. But I’m with him. Shouldn’t be an issue to stand up for oneself.
    30
  812. Shaun Gorzell that’s a straw man. No moderate left politician actually calls themselves populist but some like Sanders do have the interests of the average people in mind. This country is governed by two right leaning parties. Both economically liberal and Capitalist. Both servile to corporate interests. I’ve yet to see a “left populist” in a position of power to implement populist policy. In Europe American progressives are moderate. Regulated Capitalism alleviates social ills but it’s ultimately a band aid for a system that creates disparities and concentrated power to a few on top. A system that’ll crumble in on itself without State intervention.
    30
  813. Classic State division of the underclasses to maintain exploitation and power. But these sheep aren’t worth it, they’re as complicit as the poor in the past that bought the racist propaganda and system. There comes a point that the blame lies in people who let themselves be manipulated by Statists.
    30
  814. Neoliberals your days are shortening.
    29
  815. Class conflict analyses and sheds light at the core socioeconomic issues of Capitalist countries. All other issues trace back to this age old system of disparities. Racism, sexism, all the isms are tied to the socioeconomic standing of people. Marxist thought is actually enlightening. Don’t have to become a Marxist, but you can acknowledge the merits of Marx’s life work in observing and critiquing the Capitalist economy.
    29
  816. The issue is settler-colonialism plain and simple. It is Western imperialism on more “brown” nations
    29
  817. Good to see. How funny that the right and establishment are quick to say “antisemite” for criticizing a government, and meanwhile the “cultural Marxism” anti Semitic conspiracy is straight out of right wing white nationalism. Undermining actual antisemitism is dangerous
    29
  818. Yes and good. Conservatives would cry at Frederick Douglass “What is July 4th to the Negro?”
    29
  819. Monica is now on the hunt for you. Quick distract her with dirty messes she has to clean up!
    29
  820. Queendom So it’s a theocracy?
    29
  821. That’s okay. The right are taking a right right over the cliff. If progressive policies are implemented a republican government coming to power would be a rarity.
    29
  822. This truly is the worst timeline. It’s time we start undermining the MSM, they have no credibility
    29
  823. Ngo is going to post 20 videos trying to blame the Antifa no doubt. Watch him not even mention this though
    28
  824. Picture me being surprised these warhawks have a corporate agenda
    28
  825. He’s not as intelligent as Sun Tzu hoped his readership would be though. He couldn’t even win a “trade war” with China
    28
  826. I have no idea what that clown was on about. “They want buildings with tiny windows”, “I know more about wind than you”, AOC+3 lol
    28
  827. Andrew Beecroft Iron Man himself was only moderately known or followed, but ever since Iron Man (2008) he’s been as big as Superman and Batman ever were. GotG is a perfect example, they made a raccoon and tree movie stars!
    28
  828. “Don’t indict me for being a traitor or else I’ll be a traitor and incite a knock-off Civil War”
    28
  829. Biden would support Medicare 4 All if it were segregated in distribution, otherwise it’s Romneycare
    28
  830. Matthew Mccormick I’m imagining Bernie in robes kicking establishment ass
    28
  831. Planck M. But still that doesn’t make Gabbard an Assad supporter or apologist. In fact Assad could care less about what Americans say, he would still be a peace of shit unless government’s take strong actions, preferably not involving regime change conflict.
    28
  832.  @rowingaway  well he identified as Democratic Socialist, and was ardently anti-capitalist
    28
  833. Krenshaw is always snow flaking. He just got schooled by a reverend about socialist examples in the Bible
    28
  834. Yes the plutocracy of capitalism is at last coming to full power
    28
  835. Consolidation of progressives towards Bernie will be a good fire lit under the campaign.
    28
  836. “Uhhh the Establishment is the way to go! Uhhh, Democrats will not let the people down again! We must, uhhh, rid ourselves from this race baiting demagogue undoing all we’ve worked so hard for! The Democratic Party is the way of the future, and uhhh it’s fine as is! We can do better sure! But uhhh, no need for extreme leftists that would have us destroy years and years of hard won compromise!” - Barack Obama supporting Democrats
    28
  837. madroon7 Actually Bernie is a Capitalist reformer and regulator, that’s what Social Democracy is. Socialism: worker’s ownership of the means of production and democratization of industry. A post-Capitalist socioeconomic system. Essentially worker’s are in complete control of their productivity and rewards. Capitalism: allows for private ownership so that workers can use them and make Capitalists rich while they do relatively nothing. You Capitalists like to project so much don’t you?
    27
  838. Yes I realized that modernization has meant the homogenization of societies with the same bleak commercialist and consumerist values of soulless material growth and consumption. Every city looks practically the same with little to no cultural representation nor creativity. Sure urban planning is serious and should be with safety in mind, but that doesn’t mean loss of colors and vibrant vibes. Sustainability isn’t only the rational basis but also a symbol of love to our posterity and families that will be when we’re gone. My first discussion about this topic funnily enough was in blogs critical of the Westernization of the fictional Avatar the Last Airbender world in Legend of Korra by the western creators and their biases of progress.
    27
  839. Progressives Against the Regressive Left .... Antifa is no where to be seen. I have yet to see a single Antifascist Action flag waving in any of these protests. The FBI haven’t found a link to Antifa being anywhere in these riots. But they sure have found several far right instigators that are pushing for violence pretending to be Antifa
    27
  840. Careful Canadians. You’ll turn into America. It’s true. As an American I can confirm that the Conservative party here is so servile to Corporations they have to rely on the most uneducated, bigoted, and religious sycophants in the country to get votes. The only educated people that are for Republican leadership are the wealthier people who understand their policies are for their benefit.
    27
  841. Tone Riggz they should have hinted at the Three Eyed Raven being the collective greenseers or Children of the Forest getting their revenge on men
    27
  842. It’s good, but with neocons around him who knows. I think they’ll pull out. Conveniently it comes after an arms deal with the Turkish. By the way ISIS was already practically dismantled by the Syrian government in the region. At least we’re getting out of an illegal war. Now sanction the Turks arms deal with not going after northeastern Syria to assault the Kurds. This is where diplomacy and strong sanctions come into play.
    27
  843. Bibi is a proud Israeli Nationalist. Too bad he doesn’t remember how fucked up nationalism can be.
    27
  844.  @kevinlocke4515  so much for competition and capitalism
    27
  845. Yep. Patriotism is caring, to want it's values kept, and to fight for those ideals. Checking the government is supremely American.
    27
  846. That was just the largest cult rally I’ve ever seen snippets of
    27
  847. Time to flood him with donations. The progressive wave and shift of the Overton Window to the left starts soon. As a LibSoc I am happy for you Social Democrats and progressives.
    27
  848.  @TheGreatestJediOfAllTime  no, the famous socialist
    27
  849. It’s just chewing on condoms. There’s no penises inside
    27
  850. Leave it to Hollywood to overact over a slap. Yes it was uncalled for, they could have just banned him from the Academy. He issues his apology and that’s it. The claim that this was inciting violence or a condemnation of society is such a stretch. It was just an moment of outburst from a person with personal and intimate problems. We all go through it, it’s not the end of civilization. I’d be more interested in how Rock has been since the incident. He seems be at forgive and forget.
    26
  851. The US government invites you to Lake Laogi
    26
  852. You know it’s sad that a psychologist and self-help instructor by profession is so fragile. His political views just doesn’t complement the science of the psyche. Since conservatism isn’t about enlightenment and progress, it’s about remaining in a narrow mind.
    26
  853. What they’re saying is that in a pool of diversity there can’t be anyone qualified for the job? When they interview applicants it’s people who are in that field, and yeah they want more diversity and more voices from that diverse pool. Dr. MLK, since she mentioned, was 100% for affirmative action programs and undoing centuries of injustice by giving more consideration to the oppressed in these institutions so that they can catch up. Because they were systemically and institutionally held back for centuries it takes systemic and institutional change and address to have equal opportunity.
    26
  854. This is “But Democrats are the good guys!” crowd. They have no idea what left-leaning politics actually are. Center right Third Way nonsense
    26
  855. Now imagine how Blacks feel to this day. Still feeling the effects of 400 years of slavery and discrimination. As Frantz Fanon said there is a psychological trauma among colonized people. The truth is Reconstruction isn’t over. Build a New South, respecting cultural heritage, but promoting diverse relations. South should move from social conservatism to Jeffersonianism, populism, classical liberalism, and agrarian socialism. Ironically New England was the bastion of Traditionalism and the south the bastion of liberalism and progressive populism in the early republic. Racial politics really distorted southern politics to more reactionary and at times regressive. I think there’s room for more populism once again.
    26
  856. That's what I support. Even though realistically we won't be on 100% Renewable Energy and completely out of carbon emissions and oil in the decade we have left to address climate change, it will do a lot to advert disaster. Not only is it environmental, but an economic renovation that will move the nation, provide jobs, moving towards a new reinvigorated era in American civilization. Those who pass this up are foolish. The nation who's industry own green renewable energy technology patents will be big on the global stage, since others will have to come to them.
    26
  857. Not that hard. It’s called “look at what all other developed nations have accomplished” Anyone who believes it’s not possible show they don’t believe Americans are capable of doing things that have already been done even. And show a lack of knowledge of America’s own past. Essentially they just believe their country is that stupid. But it’s just them that are that ignorant.
    26
  858. 1ronin Antifa‘s mindset isn’t arms violence, it’s physical aggression towards far right groups. The Dayton shooter was a registered Democrat and Warren supporter indicating he wasn’t a far left anarchist or socialist, but was supportive of the Antifa aggression towards far right groups. Investigations lean more towards mental problems, or incel misogynistic impulses. Such as a list of rape/kill victims, also alleged impulses to want to shoot up his high school due to bullying. Some say he feared he suffered from schizophrenia.
    26
  859. Beatles cameo?
    26
  860. They'll miss Thanksgiving over a political stunt as Ojeda said. It's degrading to these service men and women. Fear the poor with no agency and support officials that serve the corporations, that's the conservative way.
    26
  861. So he’s a “Christian” I get classical liberals that believe any life deserves a chance, that’s a more understandable argument. But those who are “pro-life” because they think an old book says so are just so wrong and intellectually challenged.

  862. Again dumbest mob boss in American history

  863. This video hit different. Phenomenal project Andrew! Skillful editing, and what to say about the content? Honestly imo your best work yet!
    26
  864. Die neoliberalism. Not quick enough it was you economic trash
    26
  865.  @perryroberts4353  yeah it’s called pro-business legislation and neoliberalism
    26
  866. 40 lashes she literally indicted her own candidate and campaign. The silent white moderate is the one that does nothing and incrementalizes instead of taking action
    26
  867. “Consent of the governed” pretty sure that’s the Social Contract
    26
  868. She just won’t fight for the progressive policies. To me she is flaky. She’ll try to please many and end up pleasing no one.
    26
  869. It’s the more mature version of the Outsiders
    26
  870. Հովհաննես Այվազովսկի lol you mean the Arpanet created by funding military research. The Founding Fathers were Classical Liberals they would have opposed this system. Concentration of power, wealth, and prestige were all to be dismantled by Liberal’s values in liberty and equality. Telling that they fear Social Liberalism actually being implemented into politics aka Social Democracy, not at all post-Capitalist. And they show how actually unintelligent they are by calling everything under the sun Socialism. Funny before Marx and Engels, Socialist theory had a left wing classical liberal approach. Indeed figures like Adam Smith and David Ricardo influenced this economic democracy. John Stuart Mill and Jean-Jacques Rousseau were such Socialists. That tradition continues in left wing libertarianism (Anarchism, Socialism, Communism).

  871. “Adult babysitter” the Warhawk is someone they think is a cool headed pragmatist... msm is trash

  873. Yes! Soon this unwitting nation will be more complacent to the takeover of our Dark Lord Cthulu!
    25
  874. The country needs full education reform. This whole testing system is undermining subject matter. Also get more modern tech and tools in the classrooms. More experience and hands on learning than theoretical testing. Yet another thing not talked about. The examination publishers make money off these tests, another institution driven by profit and undermining the public and community. Public Schools are funded depending on these test results, which are pushed by the publishers competing for billion dollar contracts. They push this Common Core BS and further erode the already outdated education system.
    25
  875. Lol CNN you center corporate democrats are dumbasses! Border Patrol existed before ICE and it can after it.
    25
  876. But they love the troops They rise for the flag and shun those that don't. They respect the troops so such they support a party that keeps the gun manufacturers and contractors happy so they can profit from ceaseless war in foreign nations that have their own things to deal with. Sending American lives to fight for the whims of neoconservatives and the Military-Industrial Complex.
    25
  877.  @mark84g5  maybe you can inform yourself and study sociology and statistics. This guy thinks the race issue is solved lol Systemic issues run deeper than an individual’s narrative
    25
  878. yet he's a long registered Republican. Guess the Dems been plotting this for awhile lol
    25
  879.  Daniel Amanfo  I got one. “The supposedly conservative ideologues face their true nature when they have dropped all pretenses of conservative Republicanism, and worship a government figure’s every word as gospel truth. Then the limited government folk, become the government folk.”
    25
  880. Cuomo is a POS! IF no one else is willing I'm about to get into politics and run for an office. NY needs more progressives.
    25
  881. Creative Nothing but we’re direct action not democratic, parliamentary politics lol. Still my beautiful radical labor unions rise up! From Social Democracy, to Democratic Socialism, to Libertarian Socialism
    25
  882.  @kiss-shotacerola-orionhear220 it’s a level beyond reconstructing sexual paradigms and deconstruction of what we view as human overall. Just as transsexuals would transition their sex according to preference, trans human says you can put your mind in any body you want and transcend the limits of biological evolution
    25
  883. Feel that Bern! time for actual leftists and progressives in power
    25
  884. Candidate_ Glass No. All mainstream media is corporate propaganda, but under Republican governance, Fox is indistinguishable from State news.
    25
  885. Centrist neoliberals being shamed were the highlights of the conference
    25
  886.  @elmerbeltshire7599  it wasn’t a continuation. One was against authority, the other for authority. Who the hell protests and riots to KEEP an executive lol
    25
  887. Neoliberalism will make us so poor we'll have no choice but go Bane on these elites.
    25
  888. Bobby Fischer it hasn’t been implemented at all. They still use a capitalist system, worker’s do not own industry, and there is still classism. What the hell are you on about? “Socialism is either classless, or it’s nothing at all” — George Orwell
    25
  889. But... but... the establishment!!! 😫 Please stop the progression! We’re not leftists, we’re right wingers! Keep government a corporate tool!
    25
  890. the stable genius is playing 3-dimensional chess again lol
    25
  891.  @NewNormalWorldOrder  so your gods let’s this be an evil world. Why aren’t you against worship then? Hell even founding fathers like Paine and Jefferson were anti-theistic if not liberal theologians. Definitely all of them were anti-clericals
    25
  892. "Blitzer 9000" that is so great lol!
    25
  893. They act like they actually care or even watch women’s sports lol
    24
  894. Pieces of a man in America private property laws allows the owner a lot of control over it. It’s a very Capitalist nation
    24
  895. Warren just corroborated the BS story that Bernie told her he doesn’t believe a woman can win presidency. Lol was that before or after he urged her to run in 2016? They’re DESPERATE!!!
    24
  896. Are we going to pretend there is any Modern Social Liberal media out there in the mainstream? Since when is Third Way Corporative Neoliberalism considered left politics?
    24
  897. Trump must be seething behind the scenes. He sees it
    24
  898. I think it violates the constitution. Working class stay armed.
    24
  899. He rambles when nervous. All he had to say was “I made an oopsie and got caught up in the memories. I was there in the aftermath of Tiennamen Square but not during. I apologize for the mistake, meant no harm by it.”
    24
  900.  Derek Hitt  keep talking out your ass. All the farmers depended on migratory labor since the 19th century. The whole point of liberal economics is free movement of goods and labor. The reason this economy is so trash is because morons like you keep supporting political parties that aren’t really for free markets, but for monopolies and uncompetitive markets. Wages would be high if capital were made to be as competitive as they want labor to be, reducing wages to the natural wage of full product You all love the Republican or Democratic rhetoric but it’s all theater to consolidate corporate hegemony. Yet ya’ll keep supporting them because one side says gay marriage is bad or because the other says racism is bad. Fuck all of you
    24
  901. MetalDetroit No they weren’t. The current Democratic Party is full of what we used to call moderate Republicans/conservatives. They’re neoliberals, a conservative economic ideology. The so called progressives and Social Democrats are modern liberals that want a liberal party like they had in FDR’s days.
    24
  902. The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists The PAYGO compels new spending or tax changes not to add to the federal debt. Not to be confused with pay-as-you-go financing, which is when a government saves up money to fund a specific project. Essentially it will be detrimental to progressive agendas like Medicare 4 All. Under the veil of this they’ll not be able to do such things. Which is hilarious considering the Republicans never have such problems blowing the budget for their agendas be it military funding or corporate subsidies.
    24
  903. I thought Homo sapiens sapiens brains would have developed enough not to believe in strongman rhetoric and bullshit cults of personalities anymore. Well shit...
    24
  904. Capitalist elitism and projection. Accumulating wealth off the backs of exploited workers
    24
  905. dude is as intellectual as corporate sponsored commentator
    24
  906. The American people need to be more politically educated. The neoliberalism of these center-right Democrats originate with Reagan’s (US) and Thatcher’s (UK) policies. Does that sound anything left leaning to you? They’re conservatives end of story. Can’t get progression with them in power.
    24
  907.  @whyamimrpink78  nah that's you and other intellectually inept folk. Be they left or right
    24
  908. In the future hope corporate media will be so shamed we'll look at them back with disgust as we do the KKK
    24
  909. The centrists and neoliberals were horrible and I loved it. Progressivism kicked their elitist asses. Bernie did his thing and came out on top. Warren did good too. I enjoyed watching the neoliberals squirming
    24
  910. Must have found a way to profit from peace. Now that it’s a special interest looks like end of conflicts might be a possibility
    24
  911. FreeRoamFantasy no actually Deuteronomy mentions welcoming and caring for the sojourner, for the Hebrews were once foreigners in foreign lands. It’s part of the OT too
    24
  912. Right wingers know they’re authoritarian. It is what right wing means. They cry about guns to prevent tyranny, but when it comes to it they side with the State. Just imagine thinking you are more a freedom fighter than literal anarchists that seek self sufficient communities and mutual aid.
    23
  913. Remember when the the founders of the Republic weren’t crazy religious loons and tyrants, but Deists who believed in religion but advocated rationalism and reason over blind faith and fundamentalism.
    23
  914. Like Bernie. These corporatists will have a reckoning soon. I wanna see progressives walking around with a copy of the Prince now
    23
  915. I guess Dr. MLK wasn’t for democracy either considering he identified his work as democratic socialism
    23
  916. It’s telling that his first attack ad on Bernie is about Bernie Bros and mean tweets. They got NOTHING! That’s the best they thought they could do lol
    23
  917. Play stupid games win stupid prizes
    23
  918. The 4% must be right wing Miltonist Chicago Boys (refuse to call them Libertarians) and delusional laissez faire Capitalists (refuse to call them anarchists)
    23
  919. Khomiko oh yeah they were social conservatives, the same that are Republicans today. The south mostly. But it’s not accurate to say all the left is authoritarian. Truth is as progressivism grows the standards of what we support will have to be, well standardized.
    23
  920. I swear every NPC is unique and distinguishable, they’re not reusing models it makes it all the more livelier
    23
  921. Anything to avoid talking about the real issues. Radicalization, white supremacy, crap rhetoric capitulating to bigots, the NRA etc.... They don’t believe it, they are selling an old bs argument to avoid reality and protect their pockets.
    23
  922. National Review sided with segregation, apartheid, and now the Israeli government. I wonder who’s right?
    23
  923. That’s a Catholic matter. It is what it is. If she’s a Catholic than it’s up to her to follow their guides or not. Though they have a shit record. Literally supported Fascism. And of course the education assimilation camps of indigenous cultures
    23
  924. So much for him being an intelligent scientific academic and free critical thinker. It’s amazing that these conservatives actually believe they are the edgy counterculture when the culture still isn’t liberal
    23
  925. Kakistocracy on display. It’s dumb to give that position to a surgeon, but to not have the decency to learn about your office... what has this clown done about housing and development again?
    23
  926. Dayne yep. It was the conservatives who were the Democrats, since the New Deal they transitioned to the Republicans. Party affiliation had nothing to do with it, it’s the ideology that tells you. Social Conservatives have always been the naysayers.
    23
  927. Steve Austin correction don’t trust establishment hacks in government. Democrat or Republican.
    23
  928. Jefferson is rolling in his grave from your take
    23
  929. @Black Manta yeah keep getting fucked with no Vaseline. Someone with actual values whether liberal or conservative and doesn't take corporate money is far superior to all your Republican corporate stooges. At least Democrats have several seats with politicians that didn't get in bed with corporations. Let me hear which Republican can say the same.
    23
  930. So the fact checkers are scientific fact deniers ...WTF?!
    23
  931. Nah. Middle class are too poor to these elitists.
    23
  932. Though let's be real progressives in House are such a minority they won't possibly do much. We have to get more progressives in power. The important thing now is them pushing progressive legislation that won't possibly be passed but starting now is important to have the bills there in waiting. Progressives gotta let people know they're there and though a minority they haven't abandoned the progressive agenda the people want.
    23
  933.  @Jonathan-du8fs  a fetus relies on the host mother, it’s not a baby. See lower class babies to see if they actually care about living babies. This is government control period
    23
  934. Liked for Game of Thrones.
    22
  935. Ima Carrot Left-Right political spectrum is a model, like in economics, used to simplify political complexities of reality by political scientists. It is based on the seatings of the National Assembly in Revolutionary France. The further left the less coercive forces upon the individual and the more progressive; the further right the more coercive forces upon the individual and the more conservative.
    22
  936. It’s not the UK so instead we get the “Committee of Truth”
    22
  937. A hate crime towards Fascism is an act of love towards humanity
    22
  938. Delaney is a sad excuse for... everything
    22
  939. These fat cats can’t handle social democratic reform, imagine if it were a socialist revolution (peaceful or otherwise). Well capital breaks Fascist when their elitist social place is really in danger.
    22
  940. Ricky Spanish sense the sarcastic tone. If you believe in your bible the US is the anti-Christ. Funny how that works isn’t it?
    22
  941. Vita Ignis neoliberals are POS. I’m surprised they don’t visit Reagan’s grave once a year and kneel in worship to their founder
    22
  942. Jesus must weep for these "Christians." Each day conservatism and Christianity looks more incompatible with each other.
    22
  943. Let’s debate the pros and cons of immigration and have a white nationalist and a neo-con to inform us of it. 🤦🏻‍♂️
    22
  944. MontanaMountainMen I don’t know about low wage. But as industrial capitalism came to America there was backlash towards it. The Individualist Anarchist movement lead by such libertarians as Benjamin Tucker and Lysander Spooner called for free market Anarchism and the halt of the capitalist system. They were Socialists. During the time the South would have political and economic arguments with the Northern industrialists. One debate was the North’s seemingly hypocritical stance against their slave economy, whilst northern capitalists relied on wage labor, otherwise known as wage slavery. Lincoln would say wage labor isn’t like chattel slavery as the wage laborer can eventually become a self-employer or a capitalist. As industrial capitalism grew it did not help his arguments as perpetual wage laboring is a thing and capitalism only grew in exacerbation as with today’s multi-national corporations and big businesses. Liberal economists did not foresee industrial capitalism, nor did they want the elevation of capital over labor. Like Socialists, liberals believed in the labor theory of value, and market oriented economies, a belief still held by Socialists who advocate markets. Capitalism is the primacy of capital, and it is a distortion of the free market principles of classical liberals.
    22
  945. Mr Megamax so you a agree with Marxists who want the working class to take over the State to transition to a Stateless and classless Communist society. Or you’re just a hypocrite.
    22
  946. they're so mad about centrist right leaning "liberals" wait until actual social liberals are in power. And they are scared shitless of those left wing progressives they think they're far left socialists and communists. They wouldn't know neo-liberalism is a conservative economic model. All they see is "liberalism" there
    22
  947. The neoliberal centrist Democratic establishment relies on selling platitudes and playing identity politics to get the socially liberal and minority votes. The conservative Republicans play identity politics for evangelists and Anglo-American traditionalists. Identity politics are mostly used to pander for votes. Reality they serve corporate interests. As a Socialist I’m more class conscience. At the root of all systemic and structural inequalities is socioeconomic class distinctions of a privileged minority and working majority.
    22
  948. “And the only regime which, in the long run, will dare to permit freedom of speech is a socialist regime. If Fascism triumphs I am finished as a writer — that is to say, finished in my only effective capacity. That of itself would be a sufficient reason for joining a socialist party.” – George Orwell, “Why I Joined the Independent Labour Party”
    22
  949. Happy Independence Day! Back to square one!
    22
  950.  @phillip_iv_planetking6354  good. Anarchist-Communism was influential to the Mexican Revolution
    22
  951. Just look at computers and the internet. The public taxes paid for decades of government and military research thus creating them. After decades of research & development were individuals able to capitalize off the new technology. And what did we get? The chance to purchase a personal computer, Macintosh, or smart phone from multi-billion tech oligarchs. And for all those “you complain on a phone or computer and hate capitalism” please be that dumbass. I just explained how the tech was publicly funded and yet isn’t for the public. Innovation comes from resources directed at people who have abilities and knack for creativity, not profits. Case and point the scientists funded to do what they’re interested in, who likely never saw money like the Jobs and Gates of the world.
    22
  952.  @blessing5173  one issue doesn’t make you completely one thing. He was a Democratic Socialist and as an evangelical had his thoughts on Homosexuality. Doesn’t mean he was supporting government repression of their civil rights, nor did he look to legislate against LGBT
    22
  953. That Jesus painting made me die of laughter when that came out
    22
  954.  @khululyp since when is conservatism or right wing politic the right side? Support of the establishment, status quo, and traditional hierarchies was always the wrong side of history. America itself was founded as a liberal revolution saying FU to traditional society
    22
  955.  @bulkierwriter2772 that literally means nothing…
    22
  956. As a New Yorker the establishment deserves to get swept away by hurricane Florence.
    22
  957. And the terrorists are.... what kind of “developed” country makes a business out of war? That’s really Fascistic.
    22
  958. Capitalism is incompatible with liberty, equality, and solidarity. The most liberated, Stateless, classless, and governmentless societies have been Libertarian Socialist. Also Capitalists need to stop acting like Capitalism is synonymous with Market Economy. Markets can and have existed without Capitalism. There is a left libertarian wing for Market Socialism or Anarchist Markets. Social Democrats are no longer synonymous with Democratic Socialists. They are now Social Liberals which has it’s American roots in the New Deal and FDR’s government.
    22
  959. chris grammatica they have the gall to act like they’re the humanitarians and morally in the right
    22
  960.    exactly. But it's funny that Bernie, barely even a Social Democrat, is fear mongered by the right as a socialist lol! Bernie calls himself Democratic-Socialist, but that's a misnomer. Regardless the right is all over the place and have no clue about Socialism other than Soviet Union and Venezuela, both of which fail at being actual Socialist societies, to confuse and scare the masses.
    22
  961. Yes! It’s a radical traditionalist Catholic organization who’s interpretations of Thomistic natural law is in direct contradiction with American tradition of secular and Enlightenment based jurisprudence. The original Federalists like John Jay weren’t originalists nor anything like the Federalist Society
    22
  962.  @elliottbetancourt6914  there’s still assimilationist politics involved. The issue of paper also has to do with lack of resources for minorities to prosper. Class and ethnicity aren’t completely dissolved in the States. Not to mention the lack of an actually genuine free market system where individuals and families can be prosperous. The economy is riddled with monopolies, anti-competition policies, and fiscal slavery. Rent capture is the most prominent economic issue and unless it’s addressed, and privileged income abounds there is no prosperous future for those in the underclasses. In America you learn quickly that social class and “race” are undeniably interconnected issues.
    22
  963. Yes I remember us all singing the Internationale every morning for our socialist victories
    22
  964. real american sure right when you admit Einstein was a Socialist (a real one) and Nazis were right wing Fascists not socialists. But you may be too indoctrinated in conservative talking points to believe otherwise. And yes neoliberals and corporate servers are what were not too long ago called moderate Republican. They’re center right
    21
  965.  @gorillaguerillaDK  the fact that it was based on a treasonous lie. Initially it was to get back for 9/11 but they attacked Afghanistan instead of Arabia….
    21
  966. 9:29 No Kyle it is Capitalism. It’s not liberal economics.
    21
  967. Chomsky said it best. The American political spectrum has moved so right mainstream New Deal Democrats, (American equivalent of Social Democrats) like Bernie Sanders are considered extreme left, Moderate Republicans (Democratic Party) are considered as "liberal left," though to the right even these Republican lites are too far left. And the Republican Party are so off they don't function as a normal political party. They aren't interested in facts or engaging in politics, they're a radical insurgency who's only motives are serving the corporate class above everything without clear convictions or agendas based on political values.
    21
  968. “Banana Republic store” these American businesses have some gall
    21
  969. Matthew Smith Yang is still a Capitalist. Socialists predicted the advent of machines replacing workers. But they didn’t fear it, they embraced it as tools of the liberation of humanity. So long as automatons are under the control of collective or worker’s ownership of industry it’ll be a far better situation. Automation under Capitalists however is hurtful to the working class.
    21
  970. PEOPLE OF THE SUN you think the party was going to let Sanders win? This isn’t about votes, they are in control of the party.
    21
  971. Johnathon Haney no it was driven by good source material, and a coherent story. Until they decided to go Wolverine: Origins again. Had she been properly built up, her imminent or immediate death would have weighed more.
    21
  972. GoW2 is still perhaps the greatest of the original. Though 3 wasn’t a bad ending, and I liked the Pandora arc. But the latest GoW was still top tier. The one with Boy and Norse myth
    21
  973. Nonya Bizness Make no mistake. Civil rights and racial issues they could handle. But come after the wealthy and Capitalist establishment and you’ll find yourself an enemy of the State.
    21
  974.  @muellersgame8001  that’d be fine. These aren’t real protesters. Washington deserves to burn. Right wing doesn’t threaten the powers that be. It’s called Conservatism because it doesn’t threaten progress
    21
  975. Well they have to! Them sticks and rocks they carry brought down all the Latin American nations they passed through. Those are some powerful weapons.
    21
  976.  @TheAlmacias curious word to use there thug. But what do you call the American system as a whole? Policing? American freedom has always been about as true as Christianity
    21
  977.  @RuffStuff420  a moderate between crap and garbage must be something special. Many people call pre-teens babies cause relatively they are.
    21
  978. Ann Linley Moron Welfare isn’t Socialism. That would be a post-Capitalist, worker owned, no private property economy. Take it from me an actual Socialist. Social Democracy is just a reformist attempt at alleviating the social ills caused by Capitalism. Americans have allowed another elite class to rise and take control of their government. Wherever there is Capitalism there is an elite working with politicians to maintain a status quo of wealth and power. At least Social Welfare and labor laws help the working class. Neoliberals and conservatives only look out for Capitalists and big business because they are under the illusion that allowing wealth and capital to be concentrated in a few owner class means freedom and equality. Give me a break
    21
  979.  @OblateSpheroid  when you defend a far right ethnonationalist party and try to justify all they do for “national security.” Last I checked not all Jews are Zionists. And Christian Zionists are crazy religious fundamentalists that believe gathering Jews in ancient Israel will trigger the Apocalypse and Jesus’s slaughter of all the non believers; including Jews.
    21
  980. John Ferdon No but thank you for recommending. It’s sad what ignorance there is on Socialism and Communism, but I’d expect nothing less from a world ran by Capitalists. I do know some of our Socialist history in the States. “Those who work the mills should own them”, and all those Republican Party affiliated Socialist movements. But I haven’t read a full book on it, thank you.
    21
  981. TheFluffyKirbyPrincess Korra took care of that so.... you late?

  982.  @brainlet99  he deserved it. How he and Iroh are brothers I’ll never understand
    21
  983.  @infiniterer287 that’s BS. Monorails can be built in a diversity of ways especially connecting municipalities
    21
  984. jrad410 the Red South will always sell their class over dumb grandeur’s of race. They will remain voting against their own interests even if Jesus ran as a Democrat
    21
  985. Still salty she couldn’t cut it. Then she shouldn’t have run during the end of neoliberalism
    21
  986. Mark Danis dude I’m a Libertarian Socialist. Let’s not play that shit. Marxist-Leninism was a strain of Socialism that was informed by Lenin’s revolutionary politics. This was leadership of Vanguard Party, Democratic Centrism (centralized, top-bottom), and bureaucratic administration. The result was State Capitalism, where the State and bureaucrats replaced the Capitalists. Which is a high point of criticisms from other Socialists as well as the authoritarianism of Marxism-Leninism. Ultimately Leninists always failed at achieving post-Capitalism and never got close to Communism that they wanted. We can’t say they weren’t a branch of Socialism. But in truth State Capitalism was not at all post-Capitalist Socialism. Marxist-Leninists are to Socialism what Fascists are to Capitalism.
    21
  987.  @matthewrutters6842  typical righty. The right wing has always been anti-liberal and trying to undo the American Revolution. Conservatism’s history in this Republic was first anti-republicanism and pro-monarchy. Then a counterrevolutionary Federalist and their constitutional national system attempt to quell the fervors of radical liberalism and democratic republicanism. Which is why Thomas Paine considered the Revolution undermined and failed. Now conservatives apparently take lightly the extrajudicial killing of citizens. They either look for character assassination of the victim to justify and support the State and police instead of fighting against this State sponsored murder of citizens. I don’t care if they come out swinging, the police don’t have the authority to kill citizens. They are a State institution, not a social organization beholden to the communities. Yes the more apparent murders of black citizens is more covered by MSM. And statistically black citizens are killed at a higher proportion than white citizens. Not to mention the very public areas of urban locations. I don’t even know how to start on the probable crimes committed by police in rural and more solitary areas of the country. But no citizens should be murdered. The reason for BLM being so prevalent is because black organization has a history of fighting police brutality and the State. So they have the experience. But if all citizens come together to fight this State sponsored murder of citizens then we shall fight for all rights. Just like the Black Panthers, Young Lords, and Young Patriots got together to fight off police brutality in Chicago. A Rainbow Coalition of real communities.

  988. So the idea is everyone can stop consuming meat, driving cars, and go all ecological... but that will end Climate Change more than the few corporations responsible for the largest emissions that scientists point out. If it were as easy as bottom-up organization we likely would have done something about it but our government is influenced by special interests. So top-bottom reformation and regulation is in order. It’s what the nation-state system we have calls for to address this. And I’m for a decentralized federal organization.

  990. Everyday Democrats want to erase the notion that the two parties are any different after all. This is what happens when you have two right wing parties

  991. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them You're right. Voldemort took over the Ministry and therefore the Magical community of Great Britain, and he terrorized the Muggle community. He also had his goons run Hogwarts and placed double agent Snape in charge.

  992. Admiral Anger If you can sue for that a good chunk of the population has a hell of a case to sue the establishment and Trump’s administration.

    20
  995. Steer clear from Fritos, Lays, Pepsi. I have to start focusing more on helping smaller businesses and coops, and stop living off shitty corporate products. Sad that almost everything is owned by corporate monopolies. However the real change comes from organizing and revolutionizing. The only thing that matters is building worker solidarity and fighting against this tyranny

  1001. They flock all over anyone that criticizes Trump or makes him look bad. Idiots the Trump administration does that by itself. All they do is call Trump meanie and cover stupid scandals, but don’t see how moronic they look doing it. Trump is a stupid head! There now I’m a paragon American and you can give me the Nobel Piece Prize for my stand against Trump.

  1002. Wall Street execs have also come out saying they’ll end support to the DNC and back Trump If Warren wins the primary. And she isn’t even the worse that could happen to them

  1006. You ask me we need real Socialism, not Social Democracy to replace the concentration of power and wealth of Capitalism. Democratizing the economy as was the political sphere. Grassroots community bottom-up organization. A true Democratic Socialist believes Capitalism is not compatible with Democracy. That’s my stance anyway.

  1013. Scott Humphreys Anyone who thinks Capitalism is a free market have deluded themselves into believing Statist plutocracy is freedom. Marxism is a social critique on a system of exploitation from an elite class of proprietors accumulating the wealth and capital of society. This is not classic liberal economics, it’s mercantilism rebranded. Actually learn about things if you’re going to argue.

  1026. real progressive actually I thank the scientists who pioneered computer engineering and science thanks to American and British tax payer funding. Capitalists just capitalized off tech founded by brilliant college and military research and development and privatized what public funding made possible. Funny how those scientists never saw money like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs did.
    19
  1027. real progressive capitalism. You idiots bought the lie that capitalism is synonymous with market economy. Markets exist without capitalism, the system of private owners accumulating capital. Besides learn about American history. Since the Federalists and Hamilton the economy was a nationalist ideology in opposition to Adam Smith and Free Trade economics. Hamilton wrote against using the British Free Trade System, and the Federalists, Whigs, and early Republicans supported the American Economic program. That is what Calhoun proudly called the American System. It was based on protectionism, government infrastructure projects, and national self sufficiency. Pick up a history book dumbass.

  1029. Spencer Whiteway you must be rich cause the corporate welfare is very much helping the wealthy and keeping them happy. Meanwhile wages are shit and purchasing power is not keeping up with inflation. The bust and boom cycle is in effect, come back when we reach the bust.
    19
  1030. Anthony Lalama “A country founded on Protestant work ethic!” they cry when the heavily Protestant South relied on free labor as their most industrious economy. And Capitalists in the North relied on wage labor, getting wealth far exceeding the wages laborers were given for their efforts, accumulating wealth off the production of workers
    19
  1031. They must prove they can bend over and take it hard before they are accepted by their masters

  1032. She gave money from working class Americans to establishment goons. She deserves criticism. Wouldn’t be surprised if some decide to never support her with donations again. Also recently a study shows she’s one of the least effective congresspeople. Well you also can’t be too harsh to a minority faction within the party. Still you can tell a bit of careerist motivations in why progressives don’t go Tea Party levels of opposition toward the establishment. I wish there were representatives that actually didn’t care about a political career or winning terms, but damage the establishment even if it loses them a seat, the next one will be filled and overall the goal is defeating the establishment.
    19
  1033.  @thatblerdoverthereb9654 yes there’s a lot that can be read as cultural assimilation and appropriation in the film’s portrayal of Vampirism. They don’t just feed on blood but in identity and culture. And a longing for community
    19
  1034. Capitalism: privileged capitalist owning class able to accumulate capital and wealth off the working class Socialism: worker’s owning industry collectively or democratically towards a classless egalitarian society. Emancipation of the working class. Which socioeconomic ideology promotes meritocracy and worker’s being rewarded what their labor is owed again?

  1036. John Adams literally said that the American Government was in no way founded on the Christian religion. The Founders were for the most part liberal theologians and their advocacy of religious institutions was as a institution that streamlined moral convictions among the populace and raise their values. Jefferson took all the miracles and magic out of his Bible. They wanted a secular government and to foster a liberal society, which is why they were Deists, and Christian Universalists, and Unitarians. Liberal theology that blended faith with reason.
    19
  1037. That was such a garbage comparison. And I’m glad Bernie told them they frame from the right. Cause neoliberals are right wing or center-right, it’s political science.

    19
  1041. usam1981 Bernie isn’t a Socialist. Neither is Social Democracy, or government subsidies. That’s just reforms to help the working class under a Capitalist system. Real Socialists would get rid of the private owner class and give control of the means of production to the workers. By all means keep showing me the failure of the American education system, that you believe Democrats to be left liberals, or progressives and Social Democrats to be Socialists lol
    19
  1042.  @2ndtonone1000  thats so biased lol. Yeah cause conservative areas are great for the black community.
    19
  1043. Harry Mann Jr well that’s ok Harry. Cause you believe the plutocratic state of capitalism is “freedom” and think markets are synonymous with capitalism we know your extent of knowledge. Maybe Green industry would be more viable by our own economic actions if the oil industry hadn’t the backing and privileges of the State.
    19
  1044. yeah this is what happens when you try to run a country like a business. These Republicans have no clue. We're run by two business parties, center-right Democrats, and radical Republicans. Exactly how big business functions in the US. You destroy as much as you can, take all you can from it to profit, and leave before it all blows up in the business'/country's face.

  1047.  @williamcrosby3863  the thing about slavery in America was 1) it was based in chattel slavery which was racist in nature unlike ancient slavery of defeated tribes. 2) race was the determinant factor of who will be the enslaved labor class 3) they kept slavery for years after the founding of the Republic, maintaining an economy from an antiquated imperial and colonial time instead of keeping true the values of liberalism and republicanism. Even after the end of slavery, the US being one of the last countries to abolish it on the historical timeline; they maintained the status of black citizens as an oppressed labor class completely undermining the Constitution and 13th amendment.

  1059. Progressive Muslim TV lol. You can be Socialist and against strong government. Marxism is but one strain of Socialism that advocates the worker’s taking over the State. But even Marxism doesn’t mean it can’t be decentralized and Democratic. Marx approved of the worker’s democracy that was the Paris Commune as a great example of “dictatorship of the proletariat.” Marxist-Leninism is the one with all that authoritarian Statism. Early Christians lived in communist like communes. Honestly Jesus would promote such communes devoted to piety and social good.
    19
  1060. They Live conservatives always try to paint it as a support of abortion. No one likes abortion. It’s about the liberal right to bodily autonomy. It’s telling that religiosity morons believe of pro-choice advocates as bloodthirsty murderers trying to serve a demon via abortions. Religion isn’t the best rebuttal, but the ideal of when life is to be respected in its developing phases is. When should a nascent life be considered developed enough to be protected with rights of their own. That’s the only real question to abortion.

Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration." "And, inasmuch as most good things are produced by labour, it follows that all such things of right belong to those whose labour has produced them. But it has so happened in all ages of the world, that some have laboured, and others have, without labour, enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue. To secure to each labourer the whole product of his labour, or as nearly as possible, is a most worthy object of any good government." "...the working men are the basis of all governments, for the plain reason that they are the most numerous..." - Abraham Lincoln

  1065. I saw Strange World and while extremely simple the narrative was quite radical in its implications for ecology. It was very Solarpunk. The gay relationship was a non-factor to the story and was just one of the protagonists being a shy guy crushing on a friend. They don’t share much screen time. The movie is so harmless it just shows how Fascist these reactionaries are going. Like seriously just ask the children if they were indoctrinated or bothered by the cartoons
    18
  1066. IronskullGM really? Worker ownership of the means of production and no private property is declared illegal by the Constitution or Federal law? Don’t think so. A form of government isn’t the same as an economic system.

  1074. Reparations are pointless if there is no clear plan that works and overcomes the systemic obstacles to black Americans. Such a program would require a modern context so that descendants of slaves can truly have opportunity. One good thing would be financial loans on low or no interest rates and investing in black business and capital. Revive a black Wall Street. These things can be done, but reparations in it’s basic sense is unlikely and not even the problem today. To give the black community generational wealth would take a focus on and investing in black business and economic growth.

  1076. free? pretty sure that's what the taxes do. Only instead of using those funds for giving aid to the wealthy that don't need it and unnecessary wars overseas, might as well use our taxes for better social welfare, domestic infrastructure, education etc... And there is vast proof of Trump being corrupt before and after his presidency. From committing fraud, to business deals with Saudis, to swamping his administration with Wall Street elites and other such nonsense. Drain the swamp my ass. Quit being naive, Trump is not for the working and middle class.

  1077. The government should fear the people, never the other way around.

Anarchy is Order

  1078. I mean Orwell would have disliked liberal California but he wouldn’t at all equate it to an Orwellian dystopia. 1984 was about the totalitarian superstates of his time (USSR, Nazi Germany, Franco’s Spain). He would have at least praised the liberal’s social stances whereas the Republicans are trying to implement illiberal policies and trying to limit democracy. Orwell opposed conservatism period. They also really have no idea how much Red States depend economically on the urban hubs like California. Red States are subsidized from these liberal cities and states.

  1096. It’s a fine line between Christian fundamentalism to Fascism. Fact: The Catholic Church was influential on the development of political Corporatism; unto itself not evil, but it is the Statist agenda that Fascists advocated and saw perfect for their government. Though to be objective this isn’t necessarily condemning of Christianity, just that religion tends to be parallel to right wing authority and hierarchy.
    17
  1097.  @lunaticred0  no, not at all. Still overall red states have the higher crime statistics. There’s about one or two blue states in the top 15. Experts also distinguish correlation and causation. Higher density areas have more claims of crimes because rural areas have more disperse authorities and have lower density. In other words many crimes go undeclared

Not all Socialism is based upon Authoritarianism, it never was before Marxist-Leninism. The Libertarian Left are the only ones interested in continuing the mission of Liberals. Breaking and dismantling all forms of concentrated wealth, power, and prestige. You can keep licking bourgeois boots though.

Meanwhile they’re made to believe their only function is to work and die while the rich keep them in poverty and unheard in their own government. These are the sane folks that love serving corporate interests over their own.

  1120. @George Christian can you blame people for not even feeling patriotic? What do we have to feel patriotic about? Supposedly Republicanism was about anti-corruption and fighting oppression of concentrated powers. All I’ve seen is consolidation of federal government and corporate hegemony. Ideals are only as strong as people agree to. If you’re a Patriot you should be freaking pissed at both these tyrannical parties. The whole spirit of the Constitution was no permanent government, but eternal vigilance against all tyrants and the removal of governments overreaching. I understand black American’s frustrations as they have felt the worst oppression from the State since the country’s inception and frankly the hypocrisy of the Founding Fathers. Be better than them, and actually make this a liberal democratic republic.

Smith did mention the invisible hand three times and the one time for economics was the belief that businessmen would have a home bias to grow national wealth instead of going to foreign markets. He greatly misunderstood what people would do for profit. That’s what Chomsky said

  1126.  @Atreus21  capitalism has raped the third world for resources. I recommend American Major-General’s “War is a Racket” explaining how American capitalists plunder underdeveloped nations and maintain modern day financial slavery. The problem with Communist Regimes weren’t their socialist ideals, it was the problem of authoritarianism. George Orwell was a democratic socialist and known for being critical of the USSR. Orwell’s name is synonymous with dystopian totalitarianism because he was a known critic of such systems, so it’s telling that he died a Democratic Socialist. He wouldn’t have been a Socialist if it were a tyrannical ideal or system. In fact Orwell fought alongside Marxists and Anarchists against Fascists in the Spanish Civil War

  1129.  @kevin6293  the religious zealots the US backed and funded to fight the USSR, and now are fighting against? The same ones who only got bigger and stronger since the war started 20 years ago? The group who’s numbers increased due to American atrocities and American backing of kleptocratic war lords, and children sex slavers? We shouldn’t be empire end of story. This is what happens when American greed rears it’s head in. It’s just a ruse for profit, war is a racket. The US government cares as much about Afghanis, as they did the Kurds, or Vietnamese etc….

  1133. Keep Moving as a Socialist I think Marx was a Socialist and while Marxism in itself is an intellectual critique of capitalism and analyzing historical materialism, Marxism is a school of thought of Socialism. Marx can influence many a Socialists from the more Democratic Luxembourg to the more authoritarian Leninists.

  1139. The media and State has us indoctrinated with believing who is and isn’t deserving of violence and who gets punished. Challenging their monopoly of violence always exposes the hypocrisy. As Stirner wrote “The State calls its own violence law, but that of the individual crime.” I’m surprised this hasn’t happened more. That CEO had more blood on his hands than Mangione possible could. And our political class and media seem to feel more aggrieved by Brian Thompson’s murder than that of hundreds and thousands of civilians in Gaza, Yemen and elsewhere being slaughtered with our arms

  1142. Here’s the thing. Hamilton is the founder of American Capitalism. His economics were severely better than slavery. But his was still an elitist that wanted a wealthy elite to rule and be the policy making class. Hamilton’s ideals came to fruition under the American School of Henry Clay and the Republican Party of Lincoln. The nail in the coffin of slave economics and full adoption of manufacturers and industrial capitalism. Capitalism is inherently Statist and functions by capitalist influence of the political system. Free markets while usurped by capitalism as synonymous are different things. True slave and plantation owners preferred free trade and limited government as it helped them financially, the small farmers and majority of lower classes or populists also supported limited government intervention in the economy. We are in Hamilton’s America, the GOP under Lincoln transformed the US into it. And it stands to reason that after the nascent period of protectionism and rise of national wealth, tariffs then are no longer economically beneficial. Hamilton notes it as well as he was a protectionist because he wanted to grow American business and wealth. Powers like Britain had the benefit of free trade because they were already developed nations. The USA can benefit from nationalist economics, but it won’t be for building economy, but for a more nationalist interest that won’t necessarily benefit everyone. Ultimately there’s a difference between liberal economics and capitalism. In fact many liberal economists were precursory to socialists and were anti-capitalists. Classical economists were developing labor theory of values, eventually the neoliberal split to place to endorse a capitalist vision of liberal economics.

  1143. Ayri Feek it seems conservatives love government and bow down to them when it comes to confirming your biases and telling you what you want to hear. At this point conservatives obey government and corporations. Not a good look for people that claim to love freedom

  1144. Brianne P to Chomsky’s point he elaborated why he believe so. Republicans ignore climate science for profit and are committed to corporate profit as the core of their existence. They have no thoughts about their descendants or coming generations. They purposely ignore facts and data to maintain their position. And their business of war maintains perpetual conflict for profit as well. Chomsky makes his case, understands its not popular opinion, but objectively believes it’s true.

  1150. Ann Linley Moron Venezuela isn’t Socialist. All they did was nationalize oil and provide Social Welfare. I didn’t see workers in control of production, or collectivized industry. The majority of production is still privatized. My gosh you are uninformed. “No incentive to produce” yeah cause owning your labor and productivity, and being rewarded in full is not incentive. And if you think the State Capitalism of “communist” countries like the USSR, or China is Socialism you’re just as uneducated as I thought. Look up real Socialist societies that have existed. Like Anarcho-Syndicalist Catalonia. Worker’s owned production in syndicates or trade unions, distributed according to needs and they lived without a State government. Shame the Fascists that aided Franco made sure they were defeated. And George Orwell wrote “Homage to Catalonia” to praise the anti-Capitalist society he fought for and respected. That’s right fool, George Orwell was a true Democratic Socialist. As was Albert Einstein. Oh and remember the Pledge of Allegiance you recited in elementary school if you’re American, it was written by a Christian Socialist named Francis Bellamy. How about you think for yourself instead of accepting the outdated Cold War propaganda. Real Socialism had a history in this country before WWII and FDR’s New Deal, which was just a way to save Capitalism, not to revolutionize the economy into a Socialist one.

  1155. It’s not a Conservative party, it’s a regressive party full of extremist religious fundamentalists, capitalist elites, conspiracists, and bigots. It’s an authoritarian party. An American conservative values liberal society and democratic Republic. They don’t seek to impose their social conservative attitudes or beliefs on others. Goldwater was right to fear the religious right.
    16
  1156. 1ronin sorry but the left, the actual far left, have a history of not being cowards and pussies toward the rise of hateful ideology and extremism. Why would we be lenient towards a group that has an ideology on hating us and stripping us of our liberties? Even Marx supported arming the proletarians so that they could defend themselves from the bourgeois exploitative class. Anarchists have a history of insurrectionist groups. Liberal revolutions were lead by insurgents. Freedom isn’t free, it’s fought for and taken. With all that said I’m an anarchist, but not a member of the disorganized group that is Antifa. Cause frankly I don’t see the need to be aggressive yet, the Fascists haven’t really grown in actual power, just numbers (which is alarming). Right now they’re just having their cute little protests and grandstanding, let them it’s their freedom. Once they have actual political sway and start influencing authoritarian legislation, or get a foothold of real political power, that’s when you need to get violent. But this equating of far left and far right motives is ignorant. One group is made of anarchists, socialists, and Social Democrats and aggressively confronting hateful white nationalist and neo-fascist groups. The other is trying to build their hateful ideologies, and gain attention and support to their regressive crap. And the authoritarians would happily hurt anyone they don’t see as “us.” Antifa ain’t out hunting conservatives and Republicans though they do think they’re accountable. They’re confronting racists, white nationalists, and neo-Fascists.

  1167.  @oceanview4795  good. Both parties are trash anyway. American conservatism needs to return to classical liberalism, and the left needs to rejuvenate libertarian leftism. Today the “left” party is one of neoliberalism and corporate hegemony, the “right” party is one of religious sycophants and more corporate hegemony. They are too authoritarian and imperial for our Republic and American traditional liberal values. This culture conflict is also destroying the nation. The answer isn’t authoritarian social progressivism, nor authoritarian social conservatism trying to legislate people’s lives, but the answer is social liberalism/libertarianism. Individual rights and liberties.

Unless developed nations with their multi-national conglomerates change the energy industry the underdeveloped nations will have to participate in the global economy. And the predominant reason for immigration is developed nations intervening in underdeveloped nations’s affairs and destabilizing their political institutions for geopolitical and market dominance of corporations and politicians.

  1185. Under Capitalism no. It is the dominance and rule of capital in society. The more capital you have the more you are free. It distorts markets, and perpetuates vast inequality, and it is a departure from ideals of freedom and liberty as developed in classical liberalism. "And, inasmuch [as] most good things are produced by labour, it follows that [all] such things of right belong to those whose labour has produced them. But it has so happened in all ages of the world, that some have laboured, and others have, without labour, enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue. To [secure] to each labourer the whole product of his labour, or as nearly as possible, is a most worthy object of any good government." The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume I, "Fragments of a Tariff Discussion" (December 1, 1847), p. 412.

  1186.  @jaysonfalsonusa2892  the Soviet Union was Satlinist with it's totalitarianism and command economy. Actual Socialism is about the workers solidarity, social control of the means of production, democratic decision making, and abolishing private property and the State. State control and corruption of the so called "Communist" dictatorships are not Socialism, and many intellectuals were disappointed about what the Bolshevik Revolution became and left Russia. Several immigrated to the States and were influential in modern Anarchism.

  1189. Telling that they fear Social Liberalism actually being implemented into politics aka Social Democracy, not at all post-Capitalist. And they show how actually unintelligent they are by calling everything under the sun Socialism. Funny before Marx and Engels, Socialist theory had a left wing classical liberal approach. Indeed figures like Adam Smith and David Ricardo influenced this economic democracy. John Stuart Mill and Jean-Jacques Rousseau were such Socialists. That tradition continues in left wing libertarianism (Anarchism, Socialism, Communism).

  1191. Ann Linley your ignorance for the value the workers have is remarkable. It’s the workers that make that Capital, and in Socialism it’s the workers who own it, not an individual that stays with the profits and leaves the workers wages not worth their productivity. Actually educate yourself before you criticize an entire socioeconomic system raised as a critique and alternative to the system of exploitation you have been brainwashed to defend.
    15
  1192. Ann Linley You’re mistaken that a Socialist economy is anything like a Capitalist one. And about that business model, Mondragon is one of the largest corporations in Spain and it is a collectively owned enterprise. The workers run it democratically. Under worker coops, workers distribute, plan, and gain and use capital as they see fit.

May or may not help, but in reality we’re not facing an apocalypse, but a point of no return. While it’s not the end of the human race, it is a shift in ecological circumstances. Several areas will become inhospitable, and the economic turmoil will destabilize many others. The climatologists tell us to prepare for the oncoming problems, which a Green New Deal will help for the economic and energy ramifications. Shifting towards a new green economy also deters the worsening of anthropogenic climate change.

  1233. I order Huxley, but Orwell was a strew observer the the rising totalitarian movements of his time. As someone who lived among an anarchist society, he sought to make known the vigilance needed against authoritarian tendencies that arise from revolutionary movements, completely making the revolution redundant. His vision of a totalitarian dystopia remains the most striking among sci-fi literature. However Huxley perfected the dystopia, as force isn’t necessary, merely a false peace and control by private entities and shadow governments.

  1235. Pashico no Marxism is the social criticisms of the Capitalist system made by Marx and an intellectual tradition of historical materialism. Marx criticisms lead to his political ideas for Socialism, which was already an ideology before Marx. Communism is a form of Socialism that is Stateless, moneyless, and classless. The factors of production, and distribution are held in common by the community. Marx ultimately argued for this Communist society. In order to reach it he held revolutionary politics in which the working class must take over the State and government to become the ruling class so as to transition forward from Capitalism to Socialism and eventually Communism where the worker’s State withers away and be Stateless. Marxist-Leninism is the strain of Marxist Socialism informed by Lenin’s application of Marxist ideals and Lenin’s own revolutionary politics that invoked very authoritarian tendencies. Such as State control, leadership of an elitist Vanguard Party that would “lead the working class revolution”, bureaucratic administration, and Democratic Centrism (centralized top-bottom organization). Leninism unfortunately became the dominant strain for Marxist and Socialist political revolution. Maoism and such are branches of Marxist-Leninism. And to be clear not all Socialism is either Marxist or Marxist-Leninist.

Wouldn’t they want it to burn so that people would see Dems are crazy? It’s just an excuse to live out their rebellion fantasies. They side with government and police to put down protests (violent or peaceful) because they have nothing better to do. Truth is they don’t care about what’s happening in these urban areas, they just want an excuse to follow Trump into “battle”

  1239. Ann Linley NAFTA... a neoliberal trade agreement... as in Free Trade and classical liberal economics. Are you under the impression that neoliberalism isn’t conservative economics? It’s based on principles of free trade and classical economics. It was the policy of Reagan and Thatcher, inspired by Milton Friedman. Please keep telling us how you don’t think Capitalism is the system responsible for modern social upheaval and economic uncertainty as the wealth is concentrated towards an elite few in bed with government. Please tell us more about how nonexistent Socialist economies are ruining the world, but first you’ll have to find a country that actually is Socialist.

  1242. TheNewCentrist Nationalists are all retarded. “Muh National identity! I like feeling special because I was born into something and take pride in a history I had nothing to do with! My contribution is being proud of what other people did! My nation state over individualism!” That’s right take vengeance for something in history that only effects you because the State told you to.

  1243. This is so freaking stupid and they literally just exposed that woman to unnecessary media coverage and public exposure. Okay it’s a private Catholic School so they’re well within their rights. But the blame goes for those moms that can’t handle it and got her kids expelled. Punish the kids must be a Catholic thing

  1252.  @EUistheFourthReich yeah read actual historical accounts. The European Jews of today are as related to ancient Hebrews as are the many of Palestinians (Jesus was a Palestinian Jew) who have lived there for centuries. Judea was a part of Palestine, and even if you believe the fairytales in the Bible the Hebrews mixed with Egyptians and others in the region. There was never a ethnic state there, in fact using your own beliefs against you Bible says the Palestinian people are descended of Abraham and Jacob (Israel) as well

  1254. Yeah tell me that when progressives don't do so well, they even only lost by a small margin on high profile races in red states. Meanwhile corporate Democrats get their asses smoked and it's whatever to me. Progressives do a lot better and with n corporate backed money. And when voting directly the progressive stance overwhelmingly wins.

  1269.  Howard Bueker  how are they wrong politically? The only way you are wrong politically is going backwards and not keeping with the values and philosophies of your political-state. Which in the USA means liberalism and republicanism, individual freedom and self-government
    14
  1270. Hendrix Price It does. The left right spectrum has to do with State or coercive influence and control upon the individual. Fascism is a right wing ideology as declared by scholars. It’s a Totalitarian form of government, where people are complete subjects of the State. The State is everything and the collective people live for the goals and ambitions of the State. Hence right wing.
    14
  1271. OG libertarian socialism is based. This apologia for corporations isn’t real libertarianism
    14
  1272. The Democratic establishment preparing themselves to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if they want to lose if a progressive gets nominated. They’re realizing they’re actually conservatives and if they lose the Democratic Party they’ll take their rightful place among the conservative political wing and Republican Party.
    14
  1273.  maximgruner there should simply be options. If the girl wants to keep it ok, if they want to abort ok, if they want to give birth but not keep the baby, well then there should be institutions to take custody of infants the parent found too painful a memory to either keep, or haven’t the capacity to care for. I believe in individual liberty, that includes whether a parent wants to care for a child. You’re imposing your morality on others with your ideal that a baby has to be born. Leave it up to the parent and their healthcare providers. Just cause people have the ability to procreate, doesn’t mean they are forced to either give birth, or keep the baby if their don’t want to.

  1279.  @Kurgana I wonder why Stephen King said Rowling sucks at writing years ago. For children’s stories them books are not engaging to actual children. The movies made the series most popular. Regardless whether someone wants to drop all support to the franchise because of the authors current behavior that’s entirely up to them. Especially if they or someone they live is being targeted by TERFs. Doesn’t bode well for Rowling that her latest franchise’s projects have been critically planned (the HP sequel play) and Fantastic Beasts movies. And that the actors have continuously come out to reject Rowling’s behavior. She’s killing her franchise and I guess if you want to die on a hill, do it rejecting the themes of your own books

  1281.  @bustedloads9045  that’s not discrimination and no one is forcing anyone. It’s as simple as a phD asking you to call them Dr., or a woman wed asking you to use Mrs. It’s just a courtesy, literally no one in the LGBTQ community has supported legislation to imprison anyone not being courteous, they simply support laws respecting their civil and individual rights and liberties from discrimination. Thought we already settled this in the Civil Rights but obviously conservatives can’t exist with a diverse reality and they always need someone to hate, discriminate, and enforce their beliefs on by law. The political stance that supports assimilation for social acceptance is conservatism.

  1284. Jason Young Capitalism is proving to be incompatible with Christianity. Self interests competing is not part of the doctrine. Truth is by the Scriptures Christians should be advocating Communist/Socialist commune lifestyles devoted to piety and community. Therefore there are Christian Socialists and Communists, such as Francis Bellamy the writer of the American Pledge of Allegiance.

  1295.  @lgroots8691  they’re useful tools for the capitalist state, and have chosen the paradigm of the established order rather than awakening their solidarity with their fellow workers. There is no class consciousness if you believe the social issues that effect many workers are problematic or harmful for gaining political capital. It’s being an ally to the issues that your fellow workers struggle against, and realizing that bigotries and discriminatory policies and practices are there to prevent unity and are the real obstacles to class solidarity. That was the whole program of the IWW, educating white workers that the racist policies and social institutions were just tools of the enemy and they must stand for Civil Rights and United with their multiracial class and communities, and social justice. Anyone who would water down and lessened the need to stand with Trans people against the Draconian polices being implemented by Red States isn’t an ally or showing class solidarity, they’re lapdogs for capital’s interests in fomenting division and white cis supremacy.

  1301. Billy boy Baggy pants some sure but many are willing to look the other way and support the Republican party cause of their own perceived “culture” wars and believing in religious piety of Republicans over workers interests.
    13
  1302.  Juan Martinez  the problem is Democrats don’t reach out nor do they have solid policies themselves since they’re also in the pockets of corporate interests. Beau’s new video on his channel explains why it’s important to reach out and not abandon them, after all it’s Workers of the World Unite; not just those I like. Just look at all the rural ranchers and farmers in the comments saying Beau and this video have influenced them to subscribe to More Perfect Union. Reaching out despite their different social views is how we achieve class solidarity. Before anything else comes the social revolution, which means changing social relations and minds
    13
  1303. Jeff Valcarcel you moderate conservatives are full of shit. You had modern liberal policies that allowed social mobility and a robust middle class. Then you assholes convert the Democratic Party from modern liberalism rooted in FDR’s New Deal and the Four Freedoms for Corporatism and Reagan’s neoliberalism. You centrists aren’t liberals, you’re center-right conservatives who don’t know liberal policy from conservative. Sorry liberals want their party back. But hey you’ll have a home left at the Republican Party where you belong.

  1305. DeathDoomDarkness As an Anarcho-Syndicalist myself you should understand that the worker’s don’t have to be oppressed. They can own their industry, their means to produce, and reap the rewards without a Capitalist leach. The Syndicalists of Catalonia had no masters. They owned their industries and looked after their community.
    13

  1308. Aaron Hackbusch The whole point of Capitalism is to eliminate competition. Innovation isn’t driven by profits. Throughout history through every system there have been innovations. Even in a State Socialist Marxist-Leninist system is capable of that. All that’s needed is funding and resources to be directed at any field. Say computers and the internet. It took decades of public funding in government-military research to find the new innovations in tech. Only after that were private individuals able to capitalize. And none of the scientists that found that tech saw the rewards that the Jobs and Gates of the world have. Bitch all you want it doesn’t change the fact that the most liberated societies have been Libertarian/Democratic Socialist. In which the workers owned the means of production, and were organized in federal horizontal structure. Completely decentralized free associations. This is a level of freedom no Capitalist system has nor can achieve. Apart from the exploitation of laborers who sell their labor to the benefit of Capitalist accumulating all the wealth, and the private power of capitalists undermining people’s liberties and interests, the Capitalist system in itself is reliant upon the government to function. There is no freedom with Capitalism, it needs the protection of the State apparatus. Hence they sided with Fascists in Europe while Socialists and Anarchists sided with the Republicans during Civil Wars and WW2.
    13
  1309. Capitalists need to stop pretending like they’re libertarians. If you’re a capitalist advocate you’re not an anarchist. You shouldn’t even be a political party.
    13
  1310. Let me guess: "the Establishment has your back, our moderation is key, maintain the status quo that works for all Americans, we must keep Corporatism running rampant and undermining your democracy into an effective oligarchy!"

    13
  1312.  @DB-sd3cw  you sound like the religious right isn’t still in control of American conservatism. Is that why all those Trump supporters and QAnoners are predominantly evangelicals? They do hate them, and your sexual orientation isn’t a lifestyle. Brandi Love obviously felt the hate which is why she called them a religious cult. Conservatives aren’t liberals or libertarians
    13
  1313. By moderates and liberals? Yeah. By real socialists and radical leftists? Nah

  1321. Americans forget that labor organization in this country was vehemently socialist. The biggest Union was the IWW Syndicalist organization. There were calls to end land monopoly, rent, interest, profit. Capitalists have successfully demonized socialism as “un-American” spitting on the graves of American socialists that bled to bring capital to heel

  1331. Hello8 goodbye9 where do you get your info? Late term occurs for specific and literally life saving circumstances. It’s like all the false misinformation about Planned Parenthood. They do a lot more than abortion. It’s a whole healthcare organization. And they give information about medical conditions and make sure people are sure about what they are doing and whether or not they want to go through it.
    13
  1332. Then they won’t stop losing. Notice the weasel words. “Won’t accept corporate PAC money except for those that follow our values” what like the neoliberalism no one likes?

    12
  1346. Jake Patterson Free? Lol Prosperous? Lol The most Capitalist era in this country was the Gilded Age and it was an absolute shit show. Economic oligarchy is not freedom. Capitalism is not compatible to democratic values. Allowing class stratification and wealth accumulation into an elite minority in bed with government officials is not freedom. Hence the Yale University study classified the US as an effective Oligarchy.
    12
  1347.  @TruthHurts2u which is why we need a social restructuring but people that cry about social revolution eventually realize when change is not allowed through the proper channels then a complete uproot and schlock of the system occurs by force

  1349. That was a surprise. Every time you bring up the heavy sanctions on Venezuela right wingers try to downplay it’s impact cause they have the Socialism boogeyman to destroy. Even though Venezuela is no where near a Socialist State. To nationalize one resource and depend almost entirely on it is just a bad economic model altogether. Even still nothing Socialist about Venezuela and Welfare programs.
    12
  1350. Free speech to these conservatives means entitlement to a platform. Good ideas spread by their own merits eventually. No one cares what the ruling class has to say to the plebs. No entity is supposed to force people to listen. Discourse is free in that ideas are put out and either die or take root depending on your persuasion

  1353.  @lgroots8691 talking about those issues means you stand with the plights of the working class. Imagine of the IWW told workers to forget about segregation and civil rights they should just focus on better pay. That’s not class solidarity, that’s why their program was staunchly anti-racist, anti-segregation, and pro-multicultural. The socialist movement that motivated labor also were avant-garde in gay rights and feminist activism.

  1355. Dionis Salihu I hate Marxist-Leninism and authoritarian State Socialism, but even I can objectively say that the Soviets turned Russia into a superpower that competed against the US in advancements and technological innovations. And guess how the US competed against the Soviets? It wasn’t private sector of capitalists, but Federalist projects and public funding. Capitalism did not create NASA or military projects. The military-industrial complex was only concerned with arms building, the government-military research and development founded computing, higher weapons, and all those modern warfare advances.

  1357. Sheepy2055 You dumbfuck. You are one of those that believe starving to death and being homeless is a choice. Capitalism is from an individualist philosophy, but it is not democracy. Competing self-interests being good for society is the most ass backwards ethical point I’ve heard. Capitalism is incompatible with democracy. The Founding Fathers knew it was perhaps the best economic system for a free people in their time, but it is not sustainable anymore. They did not live in the post-industrial age and see corporations. Concentrated wealth, prestige, and power were all things Classical Liberals despised and fought against.

  1361. Maduro is a dictablanda at best. A poor bastard out of his depth trying to hold on to power, and a position he’s proven to be incompetent to hold. That said sovereignty and self-determination. Foreign governments shouldn’t be recognizing unelected governments, just concerned with being third party aid and diplomatic efforts. No military intervention, the people don’t want that shit. Also accept their oil is off limits to the agendas of foreign nations. US government think they’re cute with their sanctions. The geopolitical game is ran by market interest and power, it is going to screw them soon enough.

If you think this Capitalist country is ready for self reliant Anarchism lol Meanwhile the conservative supports big military and private Capitalist power. Real freedom lovers you are Also libertarianism = Anarchism. What an uneducated jackass
    12
  1368. Every President that focuses on military adventurism for corporate interests is by definition war criminal. Conflicts are only justifiable for defense.

  1369.  @kernalbert4939  no kid should be denied education. Even founding fathers supported that. This has nothing to do with her kids in school. She’s making money. Conservatives are just sexually repressed
    12
  1370.  @HP-fn4bo  shame that rhetoric didn’t find itself manifested in real policy. Reagan talked a good game about balancing the budget and free markets, meanwhile he was building the Chicago School neoliberal economic and fiscal policy that consolidated corporate power and hegemony, business elites, and blowing up the budget due to inefficient and terrible tax cuts for the wealthy conglomerates. Like Trump all bark, no bite
    12
  1371. Those Bond books actually read like lame erotica books lol
    12
  1372.  @michaelcorcoran8768  no one said that in 2016. Beau started saying that after Jan 6 and the ongoing issues of confidence since. Trump appeals to MAGA, the rabid base, but to win national you need independents and to motivate non voters. Americans already tried Trump when he was an unknown factor, well now he’s known
    12
  1373. Remember she said on her ad she’s against the “elites” lol
    12
  1374.  @tidus9942  democrats aren’t left at all. They’re moderate conservatives and what were once Rockefeller Republicans. Social conservatism isn’t the only form of conservatism. Neoliberalism is a right wing school of economics, which became policy and order under Reagan’s administration.

    12
  1377. whyamimrpink78 What New Deal was was a progressive stance on poverty and people’s right to be free from it, especially in a representative democracy. Guess how it got so bad that it took socialist programs to fix the economy eventually, unregulated capitalism fucked everyone.

    12
  1384. Christian Tompkins Lol the word privatization literally was invented to describe the Nazi economic program and policy. Fascists always go after Socialists first. They’re anti-anarchists (aka libertarian socialism), anti-Marxists, anti-liberalism, and anti-Democracy

  1385. That’s gangster as fuck lol! Those Cynics were on to something
    12
  1386. Ah yes... prepare for the Hindenburg that is Joe Biden
    12
  1387. Antonio Martinez Well from what I heard Bernie was concerned about American workers getting the shaft from the usual Capitalistic nature of exploitation of the workers, using cheap labor. Specifically workers from underdeveloped nations. Them coming here to be exploited isn’t helping themselves or American citizens. Hence the solution is get rid of Capitalism. As for talking to racists, well you kind of have to sometimes to discuss the issues. Racists make themselves look bad, and only fellow racists take them seriously. When Dr. King talked with or faced down racists it wasn’t to give in to them, but to fight their shit beliefs. Sanders was discussing something important against a racist, I don’t see the issue here. In fact he was right pointing out how this allowed the exploitation of immigrants and hurting American workers alike.
    12
  1388. Saga of the Warrior King far right hate Jews at a biased racial bigoted level. Leftists hate the warmongering and terrorism of the state of Israel. As well as neoliberalism of elites. Each comment you prove your ignorance.
    12
  1389.  @justinmiller947 social security originated in the cooperative movement of mutual benefit and mutual insurance organizations. The government did take the reigns eventually but mutual associations themselves whether done by private citizens or government has the same effect. Though one does leave you more at the whims of politicians so if you’re arguing for social security as a public good done by the people themselves that’s fine, it’s actually a tradition of the far left anarchists that build mutualist associations and mutual aid everyday. The Left usually started these associations and the government then make them more politicized like it did with social security and the school lunch program. However they are social goods and one of the good traditions American ideals. Social welfare and security harkens back to the writings the greatest of the founders, Thomas Paine.
    12
  1390. Mayor Pete tweeted he understands what neoliberalism is and that it’s a problem. Yet he claims they need younger voices with new policies different from the older politicians, thinks the party should move towards bold action and new ideas. Yet he’s in support of the status quo and neoliberalism... This guy is such a fraud!!!
    12
  1391.  @Z9zs  first off you don't choose a political stance by aesthetics and comments. You choose it by your values.
    12
  1392. I’m a Mutualist when it comes to banking. This financial capitalist system is just concentrated elitism.
    12
  1393. There is genuinely nothing more moderate than Social Democracy. Bernie is the only one that has a collected head.

  1394. If you like Vaush look up RE Education. He’s an anarcho-communist that makes videos of that particular libertarian socialist strain.
    12
  1395. I honestly think he would die if he went against Trump. Pressure would be too much on the guy
    12
  1396. Dylan Edwards no it isn’t. Market Socialism is a viable model, but Social Democracy doesn’t mix Socialism and Capitalism, those are incompatible. It blends market oriented economy with some nationalized planned industries. But seeing as Socialism is not synonymous with State control planned economy and capitalism isn’t synonymous with market economy, Social Democracy is not a blend of incompatible socio-economies

    12
  1401. Caleb Counts look at that the progressive telling the socialist about politics lol No I just know Corporative media manufactures and exaggerate the support for status quo. I do believe Biden was in the top, but the level of enthusiasm for him was highly exaggerated. And I also know they specifically choose their polling statistics, and even then the results aren’t exactly what they hope for

  1405. Not only is the funding problematic, but the antiquated educational system. This country does not produce free thinkers, but a complacent labor force. There is no surprise to me anymore at how capitalism screws over the working class in all aspects of society.
    12
  1406.  @Use_fediverse-7814 I don’t think so since that’s a personal situation with them not some trendy thing. Lamar is trying to set a standard for hip hop culture that isn’t Drake and rooted in the black community, which is why progressive figures like FD Signifier cover and analyze that situation. With that said a lot more energy by these popular artists could be put in things like this, donating to causes like this and helping students and Palestinians
    12
  1407. Replace wet with weak though
    12
  1408. Christopher those “liberals” were called moderate Republicans not so long ago. You’re hating a center right political organization. Corrupt, neoliberal, pro-status quo, and servile to corporations. Democrats appear to be more culturally/socially liberal but they use identity politics and tokenism to pay lip service without helping the working class. That’s the Democratic Party alright. Whereas Republicans are so corrupt and servile to corporations they can only get support from the most uneducated, bigoted, and most religious sycophant members of society. Otherwise they’d have no voter base. The only educated Republican supporters are well to do and wealthy people who understand the Republican policies are for them to sustain and grow their wealth. Two business parties, servile to corporations, two sides of the same coin. The left needs to be more Social Democratic, progressive, reformist and for Social Welfare. And the right needs to be more Libertarian right classically liberal and economically conservative (laissez faire); and neither corrupted by corporate influence. Only then will we have two respectable parties vying for political leadership of the country.

  1420. S E Luxemburg was one of the more libertarian Marxists. She hated Statism. She was more about direct council communism and didn’t like electoral politics. There are two political currents of Marxism. The workers Republic democratic socialists and the Statist collective bureaucracy of the Leninists. Luxemburg rejected single party and authoritarian governments. She believed in radical democracy and decentralized council trade unions. Also note to socialists the capitalists steal the value of labor because the only reason profit exists is due to State capitalism, or the State intervening on behalf of capitalists.
    11
  1421. Disappointing. She’s just too accustomed to the establishment. Can’t let them go.
    11
  1422. This country is so shit in forgetting the American worker over the corporations.They gutted labor unions for capitalist interests, sorely missing today. We need labor unions! Labor strikes! True socialism empowers the workers. And I'm no Socialist even, I'm a Social Democrat and the Nordic model is truly inspiring. Go after their stock buybacks, make them illegal. Dropping names like rap battles lol!
    11
  1423. Well one institution that grew out of colonialism or imperialism is the nation-state. Several national liberation movements such as Palestine is a movement for a sovereign national-state. Wherever there is State there is imperialism. For example the Mesoamerican empires were imperial states of other fellow indigenous cultures. Any proper Land Back movement must deconstruct all imperialism or it is nothing at all. Which is why anarchism and movements like Landback are compatible. They seek to deconstruct the organizing models based on social hierarchies or domination of man against man. Indigenous cultures can be inspirational in their communitarian cultures, and views on land, but we must all let go of those hierarchies that hurt us and the world

    11
  1426.  @vicfontaine5130 you mean white social conservative workers from Canada support conservatives?! They don’t have class solidarity if they’re class reductionist and think little of the issues that effect the majority of working class. Those social issues are there to divide the working class by fomenting bigoted attitudes against segments of the laboring class. Class solidarity is when you see it for what it is, agenda pushed by the capitalist state to keep workers in conflict. Class solidarity is when workers stand alongside the struggles of their fellow workers, not when their social conservatism outweighs standing with fellow workers.

  1434. Andrew Forte like Fingolfin said, Daenerys has been Maegor the Cruel a bit, but not crazy, she still isn’t psychopathic just lost sight of reality and developed a god-complex, or messianic-complex. Nothing suggested she would burn civilians after winning the city. She’s been cruel, to offenders and enemies, which is normal for the rulers of this world. But killing civilians, children, that wasn’t developed well.
    11
  1435. The plutocrats are not content with buying politicians anymore. The fear of the rising progressive left has them getting into government now. The avarice and hubris is disgusting. All cause he doesn’t like Bernie.
    11
  1436. The elites are far more class conscience than the workers unfortunately. When that changes it will be great.
    11
  1437. Expendable4 H00 no it’s not. Worker coops is a concept from Market Socialist and Anarchist philosophy. John Stuart Mill advocated worker coops over capitalism (individual capital ownership) and the socialist Owenites were the earliest advocates of them.
    11
  1438. @D34D 3D It sadly wasn’t that shocking that Conservatives protected the State, police, and property during the BLM riots. They haven’t learned from our own history. The Sons of Liberty were out there dumping a corporations tea, burning down tax collectors houses, feathering and tarring them, throwing literal shit at the Red Coats etc.... I knew then the American right wasn’t actually classical liberal, but the authoritarian religious right. Then again Conservatism has always been in conflict with the radical liberalism of the American Revolution and have been chipping away at it since 1776.

  1454. A. Neufeld the difference is the right wing capitalists just took the words libertarians and anarchism from the most far leftist political stance. Libertarian is a synonym for anarchist. Developed in the mid 19th century as the anti-authoritarian and anti-statist strain of Socialism. Anarchists advocate the dismantling of hierarchic social relations and pursuit of social organization under decentralized and voluntary modes. Free association. Anarchists support a free society through either communism or market socialism (specifically free market mutualism). Anarchism is also known as libertarian socialism. Then in the mid 20th century right wing neoliberal economists of the Austrian school developed some new fangled ideals of capitalist economics without government. And they liked calling themselves anarchists or libertarians even though historically they were anti-capitalist philosophies. The truth is the so called “Ancaps” are a poor imitation of libertarian socialist Free Market Anarchism which is anti-capitalist. Anarchism is a socialist strain, and is the most left wing ideology as it supports the most anti-authority and egalitarian societies. Capitalism has class hierarchy which is fundamentally incompatible with anarchism. Even the founder of “Anarcho capitalism” Murray Rothbard said that the adherents of unfettered capitalism have no basis in calling themselves anarchists. He however was glad that they took the term from anarchists as he believed his ideals of capitalism were the truest base for a free society. However the Free Market Anarchists that came before were socialists and advocated liberal economics or free markets. However they took Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and other liberal economists and concluded that the markets would be socialistic under such free enterprise. And that what we know as capitalism is just the distortion of free market ideals under a ruling class of capitalists using the State to their favors and privileges. And that under truly free market competition profit, rent, and interest would be finished as they are usuries upheld by the State.
    11
  1455. It’s just political opportunism, they had little ideological convictions they just want coverage, and post-politics jobs. She was always an imperialist even when portraying as a Berniecrat. This doesn’t prove horseshoe theory, just further proves political opportunism
    11
  1456. litoo2002 yes. Anarchist are socialists and anti-capitalists. Even if they are pro-markets they remain socialist in advocating a market socialism. So which strain are you?
    11
  1457.  @GregoryCunningham  I'm talking about Establishment in general. Whatever side right or center-right they're human trash and we should see what garbage they're hiding

  1458. I bet Trump yells “Allahu Ackbar!” when in the presence of Saudis.
    11
  1459. Imperfectious when it’s post capitalist. When laborers want to own the means of production. Also when workers want to become the governing class. In the past unfortunately authoritarians predominated the Socialist movement. After the Marxist-Leninist Bolsheviks won the conflict many Socialists took to their method of State Socialism and authoritarianism. But Socialism has origins in left wing politics. And forms of decentralized and democratic or liberal Socialism were always there. Also Socialists are anti-capitalist, but that is not the same as anti-markets. Market Socialism is a strain of Socialist ideology. Decentralized Socialism is preferable to Statist socialism.
    11
  1460. Mnd0vrMnky word. The American public are so uneducated it’s frustrating.
    11
  1461.  @sawtooth808  The person to popularize the term “libertarian” was the French anarchist-communist Joseph DeJacque. Libertarian socialists have been around since the 19th century. It’s anarchism. Communists want a stateless and classless society of free association of producers and communal ownership
    11
  1462. PC Principal actually it did increase standards of living and industrialized the country relatively quickly, as did the Chinese Revolution. Though I’m not a Marxist-Leninist. Even Marx supported Democratic Socialism in the more advanced or industrialized nations. So Marxist Democratic Socialism would be appropriate to democratic and parliamentary systems. But I myself advocate libertarian socialism
    11
  1463. French Flag USSR? The State Capitalist Marxist-Leninist State? What about the Libertarian Socialist societies that have formed? Oh that’s right Americans still believe in Cold War propaganda and the only Socialism/Communism is Statist Authoritarian Stalinism and Maoism. Never mind Pinochet, Hitler, and Mussolini and their pro-Capitalist regimes. Only the “good” Capitalist countries count.

There are Statist Socialists like Marxist-Leninists and Democratic Socialists; and Libertarian Socialists like anarcho-Communists and Syndicalists. Marxist Socialism’s end goal is Communism as Marx defined it

  1468. real american You wouldn’t know communism from a welfare state shmuck. I’ll believe in reform when I see it.
    11
  1469. real american I side with progressives who are the center left. Neoliberal Democrats are center right, and Republicans are the right. For the last several decades the parties have been right leaning and two sides of the same coin. Both are business parties supporting corporate donors, but looks like progressives want their party back.
    11
  1470.  Real Progressive  I like how you believe we have a free market economy. Under actual liberal enterprise the wages and labor power would be high, and under complete laissez faire the workers natural wage would be given. But under this industrial mercantilist system of monopolies wages are shit and exploitation is high. Classical liberalism was pretty dope, neoliberalism is garbage. The abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass declared "Now I am my own master" when he took a paying job. Later in life, he concluded to the contrary "experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other".
    11
  1471. Steve M yeah cause elitist white upper class privileged folk are the same as white wage laborers and farmers. We all know identity politics is a tool of privileged white folk that like to feel like they’re helping. It’s exactly what Jordan Peele portrayed in Get Out. The lunatics weren’t blatant racists, but elitists that think they weren’t racist and progressive
    11
  1472. Conservatives are supposed to conserve the progress that has been achieved, not regress back the clock on issues people have come around to. It’s Conservatism not Regressivism, you’re supposed to be for gradual progress not reactionary stagnation
    11
  1473. Here’s the thing. As a Social Democrat Bernie’s policies align with modern Social Liberalism. Today’s Democratic establishment is center right. You might as well call them moderate Republicans. They’re neoliberals, Reagan’s and Thatcher’s economic policies. Nominally socially liberal cause they do believe in things like social equality or justice. But what does it matter when they’re not for economic justice and they serve corporations? Bernie is a Democrat, not an establishment Democrat.
    11

  1484.  @Atreus21  the most far left position is anarchism, really hard to be more for freedom than Anarchy. Which isn’t what you think it is, it’s libertarian or anti-state socialism. Socialism grew out of Social Science, which is the goal of reforming into a rational industrial society, and the industrial administration replacing the state and government. Like capitalism, socialism has had authoritarian models like the Soviet Union and Maoist China. But capitalism has also had Fascist economies or the dictatorship of Pinochet in Chile. Please expand your knowledge of Socialism. American history is rich with the worker’s struggle for Socialism. Eugene Debs, the IWW, 8 hour workday, Individualist Anarchism, Josiah Warren, Lysander Spooner, Benjamin Tucker etc…

  1489. Well he’s not an anti-vaaxer. Everything he said insinuates he respects the decisions of international governments on the issue even if it deprives him of GOAT status by record. He is, forgive the term, pro-choice on the issue of what an individual decides to put in their bodily autonomy. He isn’t saying he is opposed to the vaccine just because, he is voicing a freedom of choice stance. Whether you choose to get vaccinated or not is on you. He doesn’t want to be associated with anti-vaaxers who seem to deny any medication or merely are the extreme opposite of supporting draconian mandates. He doesn’t seem to be a conspiracist , just a guy with his own convictions on bodily autonomy. That said what a dumb decision bruh. If only people had more of a rational mind to be more scientific.

  1490. Red Shield wrong. Anarchist or libertarian communes prospered under no government or hierarchy in some of the most liberated societies to have existed. No masters giving orders, decentralized democratic social order. Workers owned the means of production and didn’t have anyone exploiting their production. It was so free a society a great and renown author literally paid homage to them. LibSocs, AnComs, all Anarchists know what I’m talking about.

  1491. Steph J I’m LibSoc Anarcho-Syndicalist. Good way to transition from a Capitalist mode of production. Radical unionism controlling industries and decentralized free associations organized in federate and delegate systems. Though there are other worthy organization to look into such as Mutualism and Anarcho-Communism, as well as Communalism. The Libertarian Left has much to offer in libertarian socioeconomic organization.

  1504. well to counter argue your libertarian talking points: 1) Thinking it failed in Vermont because "it didn't work" instead of acknowledging the forces against it and effectively leaving it inefficient is disingenuous. Again the mere fact that every other developed liberal democracy in the world has universal health coverage and better statistics than the US is already empirical proof that denying it's effectiveness and superior results is false corporate backed data. 2) People can argue that denying accessible Healthcare is denying right to Life. Even now groups are suing government for denying Life, Liberty, even Property for failing to address climate change concerns. People feel they shouldn't have to go bankrupt or die because they couldn't afford treatment. It is simply the humane thing to do and valuing human lives, over profit is the moral stance. Hell greater health can only be beneficial to the US economy as the nuances of all that universal Healthcare results to are frankly beneficial to more than even just health. 3) The Founding Fathers did not believe taxation was slavery or theft. They weren't opposed to taxation, they wanted representation and voice as to how they would be taxed by government.

  1511. Ann Linley There is exorbitant poverty because Capitalism functions as a socioeconomic system creating disparities in wealth and classes. It’s called exploitation of the working class. Do you understand the system you’re rooting for, or just complacent to the system you were born into? Good for immigrants who make it now they become private owners exploiting workers and concentrating wealth over the labor of employees. If they really make it they become corporations large enough to buy government and maintain the elitist status quo of wealth and power. Lincoln believed in that falsity as well that workers who work for wages have the opportunity to develop capital enough to become employers themselves one day. True to an extent but vastly skewed. Not to mention Lincoln himself believed that Capital should never be valued more than labor. Many Socialists supported the Republican Party and Karl Marx even congratulated Lincoln on his victories.

I haven’t a clue why republicans and conservatives are trying to pretend what happens in “democratically run cities” I thought they’d just watch the flames and go “see these democrats are crazy.” The excuse is they believe the riots will spread to rural areas. I mean they have “law and order” Republican governors and mayors they’d have nothing to worry about. It’s just an excuse for the State to divide the working class, and some conservatives to pretend Trump is a competent president.

Or Black Hebrew theory. Or Native Americans were Black theories. That kind of pseudo history is why Hoteps are mocked along with the more reactionary content among them. The African diaspora had much more to do with West African civilizations than Egypt. Egypt had more culturally Mediterranean and Middle Eastern heritage along with Nubian to their south. Ethnically Egyptians were diverse Coptic people, not a predominantly black ethnic group. Just annoying to make up shit when real Black and African history is right there!

The title does little in suggesting anything negative other than what will be discussed is the rise of social inequality in China.

  1551. proud American Well I’m saying modern liberalism and social democracy cause they are basically the same. Social Democrats have long abandoned Marxism and Socialism. They now work within Capitalism. As a Socialist, Capitalism does not work as the most capable social order for freedom and democracy. Libertarian Socialist societies proved you don’t need a State, government, or capitalists in the workplace. The worker’s owned the means of production in highly decentralized free associations of worker’s syndicates in Revolutionary Catalonia. Therefore in conclusion Socialism works better for the emancipation of workers and overall liberty of people. No Capitalist society can thrive without the State, and it only creates a society of classes. I always tell people Marxist-Leninism isn’t all Socialism, it’s a broad ideology that existed before Marxist thought even. And Socialist societies have proven more capable of liberty, equality, and solidarity than any Capitalist one. No Capitalist can say they have had a history of Stateless societies under them. Socialism worked well in these autonomous societies. George Orwell wrote about it in “Homage to Catalonia”
    10
  1552. Bob Olsen socialism requires worker’s ownership of the means of production, and a push towards post-Capitalism.... nationalizing one resource doesn’t equate to Socialism. In fact unless the ruling party is a worker’s Socialist party that nationalizes all industry it isn’t Socialism. Nationalization/public ownership is not even the only type of social ownership. Worker coops and collectives are alternatives. Socialism is not government providing, it is some form of social ownership of the means of production and a push towards a classless post-Capitalist socioeconomic system.

  1554. The most interesting thing to me is Nolan’s use of Tale of Two Cities as inspiration. Bane and his actions here are portrayed as an allegory of the French Revolution. Bane is Robespierre and the League perpetrate a Reign of Terror like the Jacobins. They attacks the Gotham Stock Exchange, where greed and corruption financially enslave the common worker, an allegory of the Occupy Wall Street movement that was still fresh in people’s minds when the film released. Releasing the prisoners and freeing the downtrodden (whether they were truly criminals or not) is like the storming of the Bastille. Ultimately Nolan portrays the terrors that can come with Revolution, a cause for change and to change the system leading to another tyranny. Though in the DKR the Revolution was a smokescreen for the League’s real agenda. The French Revolution was a real movement that shook a continent and struck fear into the elites and rulers. My take away is that Gotham deserves baptism by fire, there is so much corruption and even the victory of the Dark Knight was a corrupt scheme that weighed on the consciousness of Gordon. The League created a revolt for their own sinister means, but the corruption and inequality persisted. Batman’s peace was a false one, criminals aren’t only street gangs, thugs, and organized crime. Batman didn’t fight the white collar criminals and elitists that sustain the elements that lead poverty to criminality. The source remained

Last I checked USA, European countries, Russia are all majoritarian white. China’s on the rise so I’ll give you that but they’re focused on economic domination. There is no white genocide going on. All I see is people expressing more freedom and individualism and fucking who ever they want. That’s right baby! We’re breaking down barriers by fucking each other! It’s a beautiful thing. And experts already said in about a century most of the world is going to be looking like Brazilians, all mixed ethnicities. Your melanin doesn’t make a people, your roots, culture, and blood does. Many old ethnicities live on through us. If white nations start getting more melanin doesn’t stop them from being Brits, or French, Germans, Nordic etc... they still have the roots.

  1567. “Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.” George Orwell, “Why I write” p. 394 Firstly, George Orwell was definitely a democratic socialist. He stated this consistently throughout his life – from the mid-1920s to his death in 1950. It is true that he wrote a compelling account warning of the dangers of a totalitarian state. But, Orwell always maintained that just because you severely criticised Soviet-style Communism didn’t make you any less a socialist. In fact, socialism as Orwell understood it, stood for all the values – democracy, liberty, equality – that Soviet Communism rejected. Orwell believed that only a truly democratic Socialist regime would support liberty. “And the only regime which, in the long run, will dare to permit freedom of speech is a socialist regime. If Fascism triumphs I am finished as a writer — that is to say, finished in my only effective capacity. That of itself would be a sufficient reason for joining a socialist party.” – George Orwell, “Why I Joined the Independent Labour Party” Homage to Catalonia Orwell detested Soviet-style Communism – a belief strengthened when he ended up fighting Soviet-backed Communists during the Spanish civil war – Orwell went to Spain to fight against Fascism and for the Republican movement. As a member of the ILP, he joined a fraternal Spanish party – POUM – a small Marxist / Anarchist / Socialist grouping who had strong utopian Socialist ideals. Orwell loved their utopian Socialism. “Socialism means a classless society, or it means nothing at all. And it was here that those few months in the militia were valuable to me. For the Spanish militias, while they lasted, were a sort of microcosm of a classless society. In that community where no one was on the make, where there was a shortage of everything but no privilege and no bootlicking, one got, perhaps, a crude forecast of what the opening stages of socialism might be like. And, after all, instead of disillusioning me it deeply attracted me. The effect was to make my desire to see socialism established much more actual than it had been before.” George Orwell, ‘Homage to Catalonia’ But, Stalin wanted to crush all left-wing parties who were not the Communist party; this led to a civil war amongst the Republican movement in Spain. Orwell got caught up in this and it made him really disgusted with Stalin and the Communist party. “the Communists stood not upon the extreme Left, but upon the extreme right. In reality this should come as no surprise, because the tactics of the Communist parties elsewhere.” George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia This experience of fighting alongside socialist idealists and against Stalinist backed Communist party, only strengthened his belief in democratic socialism.

  1569.  @edwuncleriii1922  no actually MLK was Democratic Socialist. And Malcolm X was a black nationalist turned socialist. Shortly before his death Malcolm said plainly that his struggle was not “a racial conflict of black against white, or... a purely American problem. Rather, we are today seeing a global rebellion of the oppressed against the oppressor, the exploited against the exploiter”. “I believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those who do the oppressing... but I don’t think it will be based upon the colour of the skin, as Black Muslim leader Elijah Muhammad had taught it.” Anyone who uses Malcolm X as authority for narrow black nationalist politics is being disloyal. In his last year Malcolm became willing to work with the (liberal-led) mass civil rights movement. He called for a struggle of both black and white people, not black people alone. “When the day comes when the whites who are really fed-up — I don’t mean these jive whites who pose as liberals... — learn how to establish the proper type of communication with those uptown [in Harlem] who are fed-up, and they get some co-ordinated action going, you’ll get some changes... And it will take both.” He dumped the Black Muslims’ vague talk of a “black state”: “No. I believe in a society in which people can live like human beings on the basis of equality.” Immediately after quitting the Black Muslims, he summed up his philosophy as “black nationalism” — but by January 1965 he had rejected that: “I haven’t been using the expression for several months.” He dropped the Black Muslims’ line of promoting black capitalism, in a way which Breitman shows must have been deliberate and considered — though he never openly argued against it, and never came out clearly with an alternative. He denounced capitalism: “You can’t have capitalism without racism... You can’t operate a capitalistic system unless you are vulturistic; you have to have someone else’s blood to suck to be a capitalist...” He told Breitman’s comrade Harry Ring that he “felt it necessary for his people to consider socialist solutions to their problem. But as the leader of the movement, he said, it was necessary to present this concept in a way that would be understandable to his people and would not isolate him from them”.

  1570.  @edwuncleriii1922  Lol idiot you’re talking to an actual free market anarchist. Capitalism is a statist monopoly for the capitalist class. And yes capitalism had to do with Black Wall Street’s destruction. The whole point was to maintain a exploited class, can not break away with that image. The black experience in America stems from colonialism, meaning black Americans have been a people exploited and ruled by empire. In order to change that they need to be more part of the Republic which has been gradual, but still with the State capitalist system black Americans haven’t been able to compete in an actual free economy without capitalist monopolies and their centuries of not being able to accumulate wealth, property and capital. Libertarian socialism, like anarcho-communism and free market anarchism, is the only solution to undo centuries of imperialism in their own country.

  1583.  @brothersandsistersofvalhalla  Sorry but as a minority that’s crap. We didn’t get this far from being passive to our oppression. Arguing for self defense isn’t supporting violence. Self defense is protection. Revolutions and progress are made through conflict, and conflict will always be an issue. People reserve the right to autonomy, freedom, and to live as they are. I understand you have a moderate position, but that isn’t of value to us who are at the lowest rungs of society. No one sane calls to abject violence, but we do call for preparedness and defense. It has always been a standard position of leftism to defend ourselves. This is even prevalent in liberal ideology and such. I have to say no thank you, some don’t have that luxury, and after seeing history I don’t think there’s anyone who would take the same tools of oppression without fighting back. “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.”

Taxing bad food products won’t be nearly enough to cover expenditures for social programs. In a Social Liberal/Democratic system the ideal is investing in society to produce more opportunities for individuals to flourish. As a Socialist this doesn’t do enough itself, but it is better than unproven laissez faire capitalist theory. Consensus is a complete laissez faire will create such disparity, and consumption that it wouldn’t last very long. Capitalism is freedom for capital owners, the majority might as well be surfs.

They left the central Federal government begrudgingly, they thought government itself a necessary evil.

  1642. Another great video?! I’d like to hear your thoughts on the current of “Anarcho-Primitivism”. Personally I’m in the camp that it isn’t an anarchist philosophy, it takes anti-modernity too far into Eurocentric views of hunter-gatherer societies and the world before the agricultural revolutions. You had some brilliant insights on archeological studies challenging the mainstream paradigms. I believe that if technology can be used in symbiosis or equilibrium with nature it is worth pursuing. That anarchy is ultimately a modern philosophy of the modern world, that seeks to deconstruct social structures, constructs, and powers to new forms of social organization not seen before, but inherited from a long history of striving towards social freedom and individual autonomy.

  1650.  @derek9783  In Luke 12:33, Jesus commands his disciples to sell what they have and give alms, and in Luke 14:33 says that no one can be his disciple who has not forsaken all his possessions. Historians generally confirm the view that a form of communism was taught by Jesus and practised by the apostles. "All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. ... Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common. ... There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold. They laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need." — Acts 2:44–45, Acts 4:32–35 While I don’t think Christianity and Communism or general Socialism can truly be comparisons as one is materialist and secular, the other spiritual and religious (faithful), they may share some communal or communitarian values. Look up figures like Dorathy Day or Leo Tolstoy among others. Regardless the New Testament shows that the earliest Christian sects, direct disciples of Jesus and their followers organized proto-communistic societies based in common ownership. Usury and interest were long seen as sinful by many religions, including Jesus and his followers. Christianity and other faiths have a long history of opposing such capitalist institutions, and many other material interests. That said you can’t say socialism/communism are 100% supplementary but they can be complementary and often people may find socialist values in their religious doctrine. However they wouldn’t be as secular and materialist as the political doctrines of socialism and communism originate from.

  1658.  @williamcrosby3863  in 1865 well over 1776. The Southern economy depended on a slave class cause the plantation owners were too lazy to work for themselves or to greedy to pay wages for labor. People always forget the actual slave’s feelings on the matter. The US was not founded on slavery, the Constitution didn’t accept it or reject it. The closest it came to mentioning it was the three-fifths compromise. It was a sensitive issue left to the States as not all States had need of slaves. In truth slavery wasn’t needed just the same old story of wealthy assholes exploiting labor. While the Republic wasn’t founded on the issue of slavery, it was there in it’s culture and economic institutions. Fear of disunion, conflict, and frankly being pussies to the slave owning class is what kept the institution.

  1659. Ironically Goldwater was the last genuine conservative intellectual and warned of what the Republican Party is today. “Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.” "The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C' and 'D.' Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism.'

  1673. @George Christian no one said that. I said actually live up to your ideals as a liberal nation. A piece of paper is worth as much as people protect those ideals. You claiming BLM as divisive and a violent wave is as much State and corporate propaganda as the ideal that all conservatives want an ethno State. It’s the narrative they sell people to divide. The Constitution in itself was a counterrevolution of the country’s elites. They feared the kind of democratic liberal republic the people envisioned from Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. The pamphlet that revolutionized the colonialists. They got rid of the Articles of Confederation to douse the fervor of radical liberalism and democracy. The Federalist Constitution was so that the elites could feel in better control. The anti-federalists were more radically liberal and Jefferson lead the conflict against the Federalist’s. In exchange for the creation of the stronger Federal government Jefferson and anti-federalists appealed for a Bill of Rights that may protect citizens from government overreach. But their fears were realized as seen by James Madison’s dissent into the anti-federalist or Jeffersonian democratic-Republican camp. The vision of liberal democracy and republicanism that inspired revolutionaries from Thomas Paine was quelled by Federalist elite’s need for order to protect their status as new ruling elite. This is why Thomas Paine was criticized by the Founding Fathers as a radical and extremist, and died in obscurity in the very new nation he inspired to form itself. Thomas Paine and Jefferson both believed a Constitution is only as valued as the living generations, and no generation should be ruled by the dead. They held ideas to reform and redraft constitutions every several years so that living generations may have a true social contract. Jefferson ironically despite his contradictions was the Founder with the most faith in common people. This is the liberal society counterrevolutionaries tried to contain, as they feared the loss of their privileges. “When it can be said by any country in the world, my poor are happy, neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them, my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars, the aged are not in want, the taxes are not oppressive, the rational world is my friend because I am the friend of happiness. When these things can be said, then may that country boast its constitution and government. Independence is my happiness, the world is my country and my religion is to do good.” (Rights of Man, Thomas Paine)

True the Soviet Union was meant to be a democratic Soviet represented union of workers, but Lenin was first and foremost a revolutionary, Vanguardism was all his doing. Now command economy, specifically one controlled by the State is antithetical to Socialism and Communism. The advent of Russians catching up to the modernized world led them to this mass mobilization of workers working for a planned economy. Yet ownership was not theirs, it was the State's, they did not choose their labor, they were made to work in whatever the State commanded etc... These are facets of what is referred to as Stalinism, that which Orwell hated to the core. The Soviet Union became subject to tyrannical regimes, closer to Fascism in it's government. In Social Marxism, abolishing the State is a goal, but under Stalin the State became the power to subjugate citizens, much like Fascism. I disregard Stalin's authoritarianism as keeping with Socialist values and ideas, and I have my own disagreements with Lenin's revolutionary politics, but Stalin did not in fact carry on Lenin's vision of his Soviet Union and Communism.

  1698. ​ @jbennett8030  You know before Socialists have any ideas for political government, they must first figure out it's economic organization. As in having social ownership, and go on from there as per the worker's decisions. Socialism is first and foremost an alternative to Capitalism, an economic organization, not a form of government. Ultimately it's goal is to end government and the State for self reliant worker's collective and be essentially a society of workers without obligations but to their labor and to society at large. There are some that would say with Socialism innovation and creativity are abandoned, but that actually does not seem true. Freedom of labor sounds encouraging and liberating. Truthfully all economies will move left, as Capitalism becomes less sustainable and desirable as technology automates jobs and such. Not all Socialists are Utopian, and true enough it's implausible. It's just an idea to keep striving for, as religious folk have their visions of paradise, so do Socialists. But the idea is liberating and scary. The less reliance of institutions and governments, the more self reliant and active will people have to be. Therefore many differing ideas for socialism, some radical some more practical. But let's be open minded and not necessarily bite the bait that Socialist ideas are evil and against freedom. One only has to take a look at the works of those influential to the ideology and realize, they wanted us to be free.

  1703. Ima Carrot you uneducated buffoon. Republics were founded upon the dismantling and decentralization of concentrated power, wealth, and prestige. The right are all for Capitalism, letting private owners take all the wealth at expense of the workers and now we literally had the 1% and .01% of people having the wealth and corrupting the government. I recall this being the same shit Revolutionaries of Liberalism fought against. And we have idiots like you believing State Capitalism is Socialism. The Founding Fathers begrudgingly left a government, if they lived post-Industrial Age they may have been Socialists or even Anarchists. Conservatives and the right are only good for bringing religion into government and expanding the military, the most dangerous branch of the government, “small government” my ass. Both Conservatives and Modern Liberals are State Capitalists, just have different priorities. At least the liberals rather help the working class than the corporate and owners class like conservatives. You can have a nice holiday now, and don’t forget to go back to your cult of personality to tell you how to be masculine.

  1705. Many folks in developed nations don’t understand. Formerly colonized peoples are socialist due to their continued struggles against imperialism, which inherently is an anti-capitalist struggle. National liberation movements like black liberation in America tend to be socialist. MLK and Malcolm X saw the struggle for black liberation as inherently socialist. There’s a reason Nelson Mandela had a close friendship with Fidel Castro. Indigenous peoples in Latin America support nationalization of national resources and maintaining western corporations out of their resources and controlling their markets. While social democracy and state socialism (specifically Marxist-Leninism) is not ideal, it is necessary to battle western corporate hegemony. Though let’s push for democratic and libertarian forms of socialism being more triumphant.

  1706. Curtis Edward totalitarian tactics? Moron the point of 1984 is that the proles “proletariat” need to revolt. They need to undermine the bullshit history the State sells them and create their own. Rebels aren’t the State, they don’t have a monopoly on violence. They are fighting against it. Destruction of the establishment is what Orwell promotes and a socialist society was what he envisioned for a free society, what he saw in Catalonia. A classless and stateless society where free associations of individuals and syndicates federated in autonomy. You know what the Sons of Liberty were a bourgeois revolutionary insurrectionist force and according to you they were totalitarians. The dumping of property (tea) into the harbor. The destruction of royalist governor’s homes. The feathering and taring of tax collectors. The scuffles in the streets. Yeah they were totalitarians. Even though they fought against unrepresentative taxation. Socialists like Orwell fought to end the capitalist establishment and ruling class for the anti-statist socialist revolution.

Clearly it doesn't get exploitative or fundamentally hurtful to the worker. No clearly all those appeals to revolutionizing the system, or the fact that socialism even arose as an ideology opposed to the system that was hurting the worker are myths. No capitalism has always worked and no one ever found the need to fight against it. Nordic nations enjoy comprehensive welfare state and collective bargaining at the national level with a high percentage of the workforce unionized. They didn't let go of the free market. That's what we would like here. https://www.jacobinmag.com/2018/06/regulation-economic-freedom-index-scandinavia

  1720. Julieta Noble I’m sorry but it’s the right wing that always want Capitalism, an economic system that functions literally as the accumulation of capital and wealth into a minority. If you look beyond Marxist-Leninism and State Socialism you’ll find Socialism is much broader a concept than State Capitalism, nationalization, or Social Welfare. Socialism at its core is worker’s ownership, a democratization of industry and the workplace. Yet Capitalists have the privilege of owning the Capital and therefore are able to do relatively nothing as the working class labors for their riches, settling for measly wages. Left wing has always been about liberty and freedom. Which is why Anarchy is the furthest left. But the political compass is most accurate. The more left wing the more anti-Statist, anti-Capitalist, and Libertarian Socialist.

  1726. charmander the reason a Socialist is against wealth is because wealth is exploited from labor. Do people still not understand this? This has been known since classical liberals came out against capitalism, like Thomas Hodgskin and his “Labor Defended From the Claims of Capital” People don’t get wealthy off their own toil, they exploit labor of others to enrich themselves. You have to know... Socialism is rooted in liberalism. There are two branches of liberal economics. One is capital based and is advocated by the minority in control of capital and wealth. The other is labor based and holds a Labor Theory of Value. It is Market Socialism and it’s most radical form Free Market Anarchism.

Jefferson was a slave owner that in ideology thought it wrong, but in practice was too cowardly to go against it. In classical liberalism you had your radicals, moderates, and conservatives all the same. Slavery was opposed to liberal economics, which is why the Norther liberal economy was so distinct and against what it viewed as an antiquated economic system of slavery. Free labor and all that.

  1735.  @christianp.9074  well then historically it is left wing right wing. Left wing since the French Revolution means support of greater liberties, egalitarianism, and right wing support of greater hierarchy and authority. That’s the meaning of left-right spectrum. Classical liberalism was once the most leftist position until libertarian socialism. State Socialism is right wing, it’s Statist and centralist. Makes no sense to put Lenin and Stalin in the same wing as Bakunin and Kropotkin. State Socialists are leftists at heart but believe in a party centralized bureaucracy and Statism before achieving communism. Therefore they go right wing to achieve leftist goals. But even in US context right wing should mean support of liberalism, limited government, and republicanism. This is straight up far right authoritarianism.

Capitalists accumulate more capital off the backs of workers. Are you dense?

  1744. this is capitalism. This whole cancel culture thing is a capitalist protest, in which people refuse to consume something they find archaic or against their values. It’s always been like this but with the advent of social media it only seems more prevalent. The right wing has also engaged in such capitalist-consumer protests such as protesting against the NFL/NBA with the whole anthem issue; or supporting Goya because the owner expressed his support of Trump. This issue is nuanced but it has yet to involve government censorship, as it’s just consumers and companies dealing with public relations issues. Let’s be real, as time goes social values change. Nowadays people are less prone to accept insensitive tendencies, whereas in the past gay people had to hide their identity because the majority of people would reject them, and they’d risk losing their jobs. Companies cater to the demographics and social values of the day, this is just capitalism. In a more inclusive and globalist economy companies are in a place where they want to give off the veneer of agreeing with the larger consensus and being with the times. It just seems to me conservative social views are becoming minority social views. We should be fostering a liberal culture of civic libertarianism, culture wars just muddy the waters and people focus on what is not important. As a Libertarian (of the socialist variety) I am socially progressive, but that doesn’t mean I want to control conservative views. I want communities to be free to express their views and not fear coercion of others moral convictions upon each other. But this isn’t book banning or government censoring information and knowledge; it’s a publishing company saying they will no longer publish 6 books that to modern sensibilities contain questionable content. The same books that are still in rotation are available out there in the world. Or there’s many digital copies to download. I find this hardly Fascism, most people don’t even know the actual political doctrine of Fascism. They just throw the word around for things not liked.

  1751. The founders of the American Republic were flawed and did much wrong. Looking into their personal documents and correspondence you can tell they came from a genuine place of philosophy and politics. Much of it revolutionary thought. They were people of their times, limited by the ignorance of their generations and cultural biases, but they certainly believed in the Enlightenment philosophy and it’s values. The conservative movement has been a reactionary movement to undo and reverse the clock back from the ideals of liberalism and the age of reason, towards a more traditionalist past where the Church held dominion, government was authoritative, and traditional social hierarchies considered unbreakable. Conservatives are in direct opposition of the Enlightenment, and hate what the framers tried to build with the best of their ideals.

  1754. Bookchin also spoke of the flaws and inefficiency of unanimous decision making where unanimous agreement is the rule. Majority rules is tyranny if the minority is deprived of rights, access, debate, personal property, and liberties. The minority could disagree and not participate, be free to move to other communities if they desire, or argue their position and if proven right be vindicated in their conviction. If consensus goes against the minority argument of what the group should do, it is not an infringement upon them unless coercion forces them to submit. So long as they can speak their cause, and their rights as part of the community are respected consensus will either prove them right or wrong and the community shall maintain what works efficiently, and by free association. Face to face is federal and decentralist for a reason. Autonomy of the smaller units means a truly autonomous community without hierarchical coercion

  1756. The Burger King You’re not understanding. It takes at least a year or over to see what an economic policy has wrought. What we’ve witnessed last year and going on is the residual effects of the last of Obama’s economic influence. Whatever has been the economy under Obama was felt from his second year in office to Trump’s first. In Obama’s case it was actually more complex possibly because what he inherited from Bush’s administration was really bad. Now we have policies implemented by Trump such as the new Tax Bills, we can’t feel that immediately. The rise in markets was starting to show before Trump had any policies implemented. Give it a while and we’ll see how we have benefited from Trump’s policies. Remember the first year or so of an administration is undoing and organizing, then we can truly see effects of any longer term legislations and executive actions.

  1773.  @Sheepy-hp9je  exactly laughing stock of "conservative channels" do you think there is no biases? By the way you wouldn't know real Socialism if you read a book. The progressive left are New Deal Democrats, or Social Democrats. They are not Socialists, they're progressive social liberals. They aren't calling for the end of capitalism, they want to reform and put band aids on the system that will eventually collapse on itself if the income inequality is too severe. Welfare states aren't Socialists, they're Social Democracies. Socialists would revolutionize the socio-economic organization of a society and replace the Capitalist system. The Democratic Party of today were the moderate Republicans of yesterday. Modern Republicans are just way off and a regressive and reactionary group. And progressives are mainstream New Deal Democrats, center-left reformers like in FDR's and Eisenhower's days. They aren't socialists, no matter what Bernie calls himself. It's funny too, the Democrats are the actual conservative party, Norm Ornstein a conservative political analyst in America classified the modern Republican party as a radical insurgency devoid of facts or interest in engaging in politics.

  1800. If you’re actually a leftist you at least have to be a market socialist by now. The truth is government isn’t needed for socialism, the society has to change it’s notion of property. Endorse personal possessions instead of private property and the worker’s self-management of worker’s associations.

Welfare states, and social safety nets are not in fact Socialism, but attempts at fixing the fuck ups of the Capitalist system from collapsing on itself when wealth is kept for the wealthiest of the wealthy, and the income inequality becomes exceptionally wide. Crack a book.

  1817. Longclaw22 - I still don’t like that argument. You saved my home now I bend to your will. The point is the North was independent until Daenerys. Would she only ally if they call her Queen? They would rather be her ally as an independent Kingdom than kneel to her. Which is what Sansa’s arc has been about the security she’s never had growing up for herself, her family, and her people. Daenerys is coming in to rule over them, coercing them to accept her rule. They owe her allegiance, but arguably they don’t owe her their freedom. They were all toasting and cheering her on anyway, and the Northern forces are going to fight for her Throne anyway. They’re made to, but they’re doing it and some do feel gratitude to her I think. It’s thanks to Jon really that the North is with her.

Ultimately the ultra-Conservatives seized an opportunity to make themselves feel better by changing the order, “cleansing” nations of undesirables, and commit themselves to the State and practical “gang wars” among States.

  1838.  @johnmaltby134  "I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child. The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow-men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society." Albert Einstein, Why Socialism?, 1949 "Why Socialism?" is an article written by Albert Einstein in May 1949 that appeared in the first issue of the socialist journal Monthly Review. Einstein was in fact further left than David who seems more of a Social Democrat. Twisting facts my ass. And well done bringing out identity politics where no one in this entire section did.

  1840. I had my problems with the season overall but I get what the ending tried to do, and I enjoyed it some. Even if it felt too lonely and empty. I liked that in the end it was “A Time For Wolves” and the Stark kids are alright. They won, they reign, they survived. Sansa as Queen in the North was the logical and satisfying end to her story arc. From being used and abused, Sansa wanted power for security, so that herself, her family, and her people will never be vulnerable pawns in the game again. She absorbed the cunning and scheming of her tormentors, but remains a Tully-Stark with no self interest and ambition other than security and to lead pragmatically. Arya ever the free spirit. Instead of finding empowerment in violence, finds it in exploration and discovery. She looks towards new horizons as she leaves behind her blood soaked childhood. She goes knowing her family will be okay. Bran is the receiver of memories (like in the Giver). He knows all, is a magical computer. No one corrupt and ambitious can hurt the realm with him as king. Truly the 6 kingdoms have a sage-King in practicality to lead them in a new age. The thing about Bran’s ascension is it calls back to Dwarves, Bastards, and Broken things. Tyrion has a soft spot for such creatures. Bran the Broken is the promise that things may be a little different now as the downtrodden, the least likely, the outcasts inherit the world or authority to make a better future by whatever margin. The Starks, including Jon, Tyrion, Brienne, Ser Davos, and even Bronn I suppose are all Dwarves, Bastards, and Broken things that through great obstacles persevered and come out victorious. Jon is a true selfless hero. His two lives were nothing but sacrificing and he proves to be the best out of all of them. Now he lives in exile where he can find some peace in freedom. Unfortunately his heritage wasn’t of much consequence, and it should have at least allowed him some agency. Jon wouldn’t be King, but he could have briefly used that inheritance to abolish the office officially and exile himself in penance. The messianic character, was just a guy, who did heroic things, has no real reward, and can find solace in freedom and relative peace for the rest of his days. The true North is in him, and he has proven to be more Stark than any other could claim. The White Wolf is legend

    7
  1843.  @Andre-qo5ek  you’re arguing nothing. I may not have conveyed right but what I was referring to was the development of anarchist principles to family. This includes youth liberation, and how to raise free thinking and autonomous individuals. Family is important so it is necessary to applicants Anarchist ideals whether communism, communalism, or individualism to what family looks like in anarchist society. For example anarchists aren’t big on legally sanctioned marriages, only voluntary relations, that itself fundamentally changes the ideal of family in an anarchist setting. Monotonous relations would likely be less appealing. So the familial relations of children would also fundamentally change. Anarchism is social experimentation so each community varies.

  1844. History lesson: Police or “law enforcement” was created a a gestapo for Capital. Community protection was done by the community itself, community watch. As industrialization and the Gilded Age came the ruling Robber Baron capitalists pushed the State to create a “law and order” outfit to keep the peace in urban areas. But what they actually wanted was an authoritarian boot on labor and the poor to protect their capitalist interests. You see as these tycoons and fat cats called industrialists got wealthier and went out of their way to but politics labor was for the first time organizing in the US. Labor Unions and socialist political groups, would arise to defy the Robber Barons control of their lives as well as fight for labor rights. Whenever labor organized and protested or strikes the capitalists would call in the Police to do their duty and break up the organization. And they did it aggressively as you can expect from any State authority. Remember the Haymarket disaster, that was why Police was formed. To maintain the underclasses in line protect and serve capital. Hence the police’s history of harassing the lower classes like workers, poor, homeless, and very much people of color. It is time we have a serious discussion about this authoritarian branch of the State. It is another tool of control and violated our civil rights and liberties very much. As you can see militarization of police exacerbated their potential as an authoritarian’s force. Easily implement a police state if the government wanted. The leftist position is abolish the police. Return to building community networks, relations, and watch groups. Who do you think is better suited to protect your community? The community, or the State and government? Facets of what police do can be done by watch protection groups, which are community members and volunteering to serve the community. Detective work can be done by professionals dealing in serious homicide crimes. The reactionaries will oppose this under guise of law and order, but reactionaries will always show their true colors as authoritarians. Not to mention that police force existing undermines the very constitutional right to bear arms and community militia protecting their communities. The State just took that power from civilians for their own control and capitalist interests. Radical or not, humans deserve better than a force that can at the drop of a dime be an oppressive tool against you and your community. Police force aren’t peacekeepers, that nonsense is not true. They aren’t a Jedi order. They were founded as an authoritarian tool, and they always will be.

  1849.  @TheHuxleyAgnostic  it’s not the same but no form of slavery should persist. Today prisoners legally can be slaves, and guess which ethnicity the State fills up prisons the most with? Wage slavery was found to be, while not as galling as chattel slavery, still egregious by former slaves themselves. The abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass initially declared "now I am my own master", upon taking a paying job. However, later in life he concluded to the contrary, saying "experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other". Douglass went on to speak about these conditions as arising from the unequal bargaining power between the ownership/capitalist class and the non-ownership/laborer class within a compulsory monetary market: "No more crafty and effective devise for defrauding the southern laborers could be adopted than the one that substitutes orders upon shopkeepers for currency in payment of wages. It has the merit of a show of honesty, while it puts the laborer completely at the mercy of the land-owner and the shopkeeper".

No you have to fall back to things that haven’t to do with the fact that civilians were killed for no reason. You idiots have lost the plot. Revolution and violence are necessary for change and fighting against a oppressive State. These were once important foundations for the Republic, and remain enshrined in founding documents. When we arm ourselves against fascists they won’t have any excuses for why we do so then. It’s time we arm our communities, have our own militias, and unify the working class. They’ll change their tune but even the Constitution is on our side. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. Return of the militant working class, syndicalism, and liberation movements. Do not stand idly as we remain oppressed. We won’t start violence so that the corporate media will spread misinformation and villainize our struggles, but we damn sure can defend ourselves. Just remember it was riots and violence that got the government to concede to Dr. King’s alternative. They feared revolution, they capitulated to legislation reform and civil disobedience. The Civil Rights movement, nor black and indigenous liberation isn’t done yet. There’s a reason after Dr. King the Black Panthers were the face of Civil Rights. Militancy, insurrection, and right to bear arms were the popular action for liberation. Suffrage wasn’t enough, the working people need their own autonomy, and popular assemblies, less this fascist regime continue to oppress the people. “We’re going to fight racism not with racism, but we’re going to fight with solidarity. We say we’re not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but we’re going to fight it with socialism.” - Fred Hampton

  1861. Erik Merrill The American economy was built on slavery and a nationalist philosophy opposed to free trade. Hamiltonian economics is the bedrock of the American economic growth. The tenets of protectionism, government subsidies towards infrastructure, and incentivizing advancements in tech and science. Henry Clay proudly distinguished it as the American System, in opposition to British free trade doctrine of Adam Smith. These same economic policies were found to be involved in the economic growth of South Korea and Japan. The American School of Economics was the economic policy of nationalists from the Federalists, to the Whigs, to the early Republicans. Free trade prosperity is a myth, and governments always protected economic interests. Since the time of Thomas Hodgskin, when capitalism, at the time defined as a construed political system built on privileges for the owners of capital; capitalism has been criticized as an exploitative socioeconomic system. Exploitation of labor by capital. Liberals like David Ricardo and John Stuart Mill supported the labor theory of value, and industrial democracy of worker’s cooperatives in a free society, over the classism of industrial capitalism. What is capitalism if not the rule, or dominance, of capital. Hence why industrial capitalism was pushed back in the time of farmers and artisans who owned their labor, and tried to halt the expansion of wage slavery. “Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration." Lincoln's First Annual Message to Congress, December 3, 1861.

  1906. Mr Megamax lol class is wealth disparities moron. The whole point of Marxism is that people be free to pursue their individual goals and talents by sharing goods and services in common. A Communist society would be common ownership of the means, and individuals having leisure to develop their own talents. Whereas Capitalists have the privilege of owning the means and exploiting labor to get filthy rich doing relatively nothing. Keep projecting.

  1912. Sheepy2055 No it didn’t. The internet that makes all this possible was done by government tax payed military research. Socialism isn’t the government doing things neither. Under a Socialist economy workers control the means or production and democratically make decisions. People have more leisure to explore their skills and abilities. Cause they’re not living to work or working to live. They own their labor. Believe it or not it’s not the profit solely that drives innovations. It’s people’s leisure and knack for exploring their productivity and capabilities. If they owned their labor they have even more incentive to be productive, cause they reap the rewards not an employer. The Capitalism is the only way for innovation myth is ridiculous BS. Einstein did great things not for profit, but cause it was his passion. How do I know? He was a Socialist and had articles on the limits and faults of Capitalism and literally “Why Socialism?”

  1920. Raymond Flores lol the word libertarian was coined by French Anarcho-Communist Joseph DeJacques. And the modern term of Anarchism was coined by Pierre Joseph-Proudhon, an Libertarian Market Socialist. All you Rothbardians, Ayn Rand fans, and Friedman enthusiasts just appropriate a word synonymous with Anarchism, which is historically Socialist and anti-capitalist. The biggest trick you all try to pull is conflate capitalism with markets, and socialism with authoritarianism. Conveniently leaving out that Anarchism grew out of the Socialist movement as an anti-statist philosophy. Bernie isn’t an anarchist, he’s a freaking Social Democrat, not even post-capitalist. He wants capitalism with a welfare state...

Fools that conflate “market economies” with Capitalism are a huge problem. Your Statist plutocratic system is but another of elitist rule and privilege. Labor has become second to Capital, a sad development that true Classical Liberals would be disgusted at. The concentration of wealth, privilege, and power into a minority is exactly the garbage liberals fought against. The ignorant believe subjugation is freedom, disgraceful display of prostration. Capitalism is a distortion of liberty and free markets. Any right winger claiming different is ignorant and slavers to the plutocracy.

  1929.  Derek Hitt  you shouldn’t be conservative either. Economic conservatism means support of the status quo. We’ve never had a liberal economy to conserve. Since the beginning of the Republic there have been two conservatisms that have dominated the country. The Federalists were American traditionalist conservatives who believed in lesser democracy and more of a natural hierarchy of educated and wealthy citizens. Hamiltonian economics was the basis of the American School of Economics which was mercantilist and anti-Free Trade. It was nationalist economics that favored government involvement in economic affairs. Traditional conservatism was more progressive on social matters as it was the ideology of urbane and industrial areas. This legacy went from Federalists-Whigs-Lincoln Republicans-Modern Democrats. In the south at first the radical liberalism of Jeffersonian democracy was ideal. However the interests of landowners and big planters would eventually form a more socially conservative, evangelist supremacist, and rigidly hierarchical Jacksonian system. Not interested in liberal economy or much yeomanry, this system was dominated by the slaver elites, a social conservatism to conserve the Southern way of life and the aristocratic rule. An agricultural economy dominated by big plantation and slave owners. This social conservatism evolved from Jacksonian Democrats to modern southern Republicans post-Civil Rights era. The New Right adopted social conservatism with neoliberalism which has proven to be support of corporate hegemony with rhetoric of free markets. We’ve never had a classical liberalism to conserve. Conservatism is represented in the social conservatism of modern Republicans, and traditional conservatism of modern Democrats. Ever since the Federalists the Republic has been in a steady trajectory towards right wing hierarchies and federal power. Now Republicans use social conservatism to get their evangelical base riled up to support terrible pro-big business policies. And Democrats use civil rights rhetoric of equality to support larger Federal government and the neoliberal order started by Reagan. Everyone who knows history knows supper if liberal economics comes from radical liberals. Shout out to all my Georgists out there!

  1931. Plo Koon the Bolsheviks took over a revolution that was already happening, people seem to forget this. Russian Soviets (worker’s councils) were already rapidly spreading and this council communism was the popular will of the working people. It was soon that Lenin and the Bolshevik Party took over and rejected direct industrial democracy in favor of State ownership and party rule. This was Lenin’s lousy interpretations of Marxist literature. This also lead to the Bolsheviks suppression of other socialists like the Mensheviks, the anarchists, and democratic socialists etc... Lenin called them “infants of the Left” and proceeded to crush the Ukrainian Free Territory of Anarchists and other opposition to “his” vision of socialist revolution. The nail in the coffin was the crushing of the Kronstadt rebellion by which all far leftists rejected Lenin as an authoritarian State Socialist and enemy to socialist social revolution. Since then leftist socialists have rejected all Leninism and bureaucratic/vanguard party socialism as authoritarian anti-socialism.

  1937. bongo155 Things should always be handled. If some say they weren’t treated fairly that’s worthy to look into, but the point remains that if Bernie knew and did nothing. I didn’t say he was being accused, the issue is whether he knew personally or not, which frankly there is no proof of. It’s not blind devotion, I’m much further left than Bernie and support him due to his aid of the working class. I’m going to look into these things objectively. And I don’t see any reason to believe Bernie himself knew. Now he does have a duty of keeping a closer eye on such things. Much more reason is needed in any case to blame Bernie for allowance of complete inappropriate behavior among his campaigners.

  1941. djangogeek It‘s not Communist because supposedly though their goal is to reach a Communist society they aren’t there yet. China is Marxist-Leninist and Maoist. Doctrinally they believe in order to achieve the association of producers, they must first protect the revolution by centralized Statist means. Therefore the Leninist government. So much like the USSR Communist China functions as a State Capitalist enterprise. The State is the premier capitalist, but there are private enterprises as well. China, if they are still about Communism, believes it’s in a transitional stage of Socialism where the Party Bureaucracy rules and represents the working class. That’s debatable of course. So Communist China started as another Marxist-Leninist Revolution. This means they have State Capitalism, as Lenin called it, as a state of affairs but they also incorporated what they call social market enterprise, a mixture of State and private owned enterprise, though of course the Party is the ultimate authority. China is not Communist because well they haven’t achieved the free association of producers in a stateless, classless, moneyless society. China is State Capitalist and does anti-socialist things like participate in global capitalism, exploit labor, and of course their market practices have hollowed out the American middle class and strengthened theirs. Growing a middle class is not adhering to socialist class struggle and classless society.

  1942. jr. two problems. AnCaps aren’t Libertarian nor are they Anarchists. Anarchist-Socialists coined the word Libertarian for their own.

Just call it what it is laissez-faire Capitalism. Or liberal economics.

  1947. The Nightingale you’re way off. Left wing means advocating less social hierarchies and liberty. Right wing means advocating greater social hierarchies and authority. It’s been this way since the French Revolution and the National Assembly. The furthest left is Anarchism aka Libertarian Socialism. The furthest right is Totalitarianism and Fascism. Understandably though today all these concepts are muddled and confused. Maybe by design or compromising academia. Social Democracy is a social reformation that maintains a capitalist framework, it keeps the status quo. It’s basically Welfare Statism. Capitalism is inherent a right wing politico-socioeconomic system where society is divided in social classes (hierarchy), and private property norms allows the privatization of natural resources excluding communities from common resources that should otherwise be accessible to all. Capitalism is a political creature inherently as it is based on the State and protections and privileges given to the ruling capitalist class. This is why Socialists like Communists and the Market Socialists or the more radical Free Market Anarchists are anti-capitalists. They want social revolution towards a classless and if they’re anarchists Stateless society. Social Democrats don’t even distinguish capitalism from market economies. And by the way while Marxist-Leninists and State Socialists have these left wing socialist ideals they take a right wing authoritarian approach to government model. Such as single party rule, Statism, and dictatorship. But the left has been criticizing this since the Bolshevik Revolution, and since Marx himself. The criticism of the left is how could you achieve Communism (Stateless, classless, moneyless society) by supporting first a Statist tyranny.

The real kick is when righties find out about free market socialism and how free markets with State interference are only possible in a socialist economy.

  1960. proud American I guess you are not aware the first libertarians identified as the anti-Statist strain of Socialism. Proudhon was first to call himself Anarchist, and Joseph Dejacque an Anarcho-Communist the first to call himself Libertarian. And Libertarian Socialists like Proudhon were for Markets, just not Capitalism. A lot of Socialists were inspired by Adam Smith and David Ricardo. Enlightenment figures like John Stuart Mill were early supporters of worker coops. Socialists came from the Enlightenment of Classical Liberalism and came to differing conclusions about what are free economies after analyzing and witnessing the social order of Capitalism. People who always go against the Status Quo are progressives. Teddy Roosevelt was among the earliest progressive American politicians.

  1962. Bernard M Social Democracy used to be synonymous with Democratic Socialism. Marx coined the term Social Democrats in his German translation of a Democratic Socialist Party he was criticizing for being too focused on middle class bourgeois interests. Social Democrats used to be evolutionary Marxists, until they became too moderate and abandoned their Marxist roots. Now Social Democrats are just Modern Liberals, looking to regulate capitalism and provide social welfare. Democratic Socialism is parliamentary and democratic Socialist revolution through the electoral political institutions. Also a value of liberalism in the sociopolitical sphere and socialization in the socioeconomic sphere. Marxists go either way of three, libertarian (Luxemburg Council Communism, Libertarian Marxism), liberal (democratic, evolutionary Marxism ), or authoritarian (Leninist-Maoist Marxism)

The US is a federal constitutional republic. As well as a liberal democracy with representative democracy.
    7
  1971. Marlon White no Marxist-Leninist countries don’t do well. Though they did increase standards of living from the former feudal and agrarian orders. An actual liberal democratic socialist worker’s republic with market socialism and decentralized planning of worker’s confederations/federations would do well in maintaining the classical liberal roots of socialism. State socialism and Marxist-Leninism ain’t shit compared to left wing socialism. Such as liberal democratic socialism and libertarian socialism (anti-authority; anti-statist). I see a future of Mutualist market socialism and decentralized planning of syndicalism and communism as the future of freedom and liberty. Also capitalism is not the same as a market economy. Markets existed before capitalism and they will after.

Or wages that keep up with decent purchasing power and inflation so that they may consume is detrimental to the economy.

    7
  1981. Big Hatter I didn’t make your case for anything. Capitalism is an oligarchic system that functions as a market economy. In right-"libertarian" and "anarcho"-capitalist ideology, freedom is considered to be a product of property. As Murray Rothbard puts it, "the libertarian defines the concept of 'freedom' or 'liberty'. . .[as a] condition in which a person's ownership rights in his body and his legitimate material property rights are not invaded, are not aggressed against. . . . Freedom and unrestricted property rights go hand in hand." This definition has some problems, however. In such a society, one cannot (legitimately) do anything with or on another's property if the owner prohibits it. This means that an individual's only guaranteed freedom is determined by the amount of property that he or she owns. This has the consequence that someone with no property has no guaranteed freedom at all (beyond, of course, the freedom not to be murdered or otherwise harmed by the deliberate acts of others). In other words, a distribution of property is a distribution of freedom, as the right-"libertarians" themselves define it. It strikes anarchists as strange that an ideology that claims to be committed to promoting freedom entails the conclusion that some people should be more free than others. Yet this is the logical implication of their view, which raises a serious doubt as to whether capitalists are actually interested in freedom at all. The Capitalists class supported the undemocratic Fascists in Europe, and American government supports dictators so long as they are opened to markets. As they did with Pinochet. The Anarchists and Socialists in Spain fought in alliance with the liberal Republicans against Fascist Franco. The Capitalists supported Franco, they supported Nazis who’s economic policy coined the word “privatization” to describe it, and they supported Mussolini. Capitalism is for the bourgeois ruling class and while they were classical liberals they held the idea of liberal Republics in mind as a society that would be ruled by the Capitalist owning class free from the old aristocratic rule of nobility. It was one step towards freedom but the struggle continues.

  1989. Chief Purrfect actually from what I’ve read in the books Daenerys struggles to fight her worst impulses. And she had these two young girls, a wine sellers daughters, tortured in front of their father. And she makes the torturer a chief advisor. And she clearly doesn’t care whether they’re innocent or not. The fact that Targaryens have had centuries of incest only makes Daenerys being unhinged more believable. Her own father was sane until the later half of his life. And not all madness is shown blatantly as violence and cruelty. Baelor the Blessed was mad in his zealotry and ended up killing himself, another Targaryen drank wildfyre and so on. Throughout their history there have been crazy Targaryens who consider themselves akin to deities. The most sane Targaryens have been arguably Jaeherys the Conciliator and Good Queen Alysanne. And frankly Daenerys is more Maegor the Cruel and Aegon the Conqueror. She may not have been mad, but I always saw her tendency for cruelty and Machiavellian strength. Again she never striked me as crazy, just a strong and strict leader with a sure sense of justice. I think this is one of those plot points from the books that D&D are doing, however badly so. We know they were given the big plots and the ending of the characters story arcs and the conclusion to the story, and that while they have to fit the show narrative and take differing methods the conclusions will be aligned with the books. GRRM making Daenerys the final antagonist is a stroke of genius you ask me. The lines between good and bad blur and there is a powerful statement about malevolence not always being so obvious. A face so beautiful can be capable of the worst impulses and capabilities of humanity. That sounds much like the subversion of fantasy tropes for story purposes GRRM goes for to me. Unlike D&D he doesn’t subvert expectations for shock value, there’s a purpose to the story and a pay off.

But beyond conservative values there is an underlying strain of bigoted and racist tendencies under groups of conservatism, because in the past racism and bigotry were the norms and even “values.” So it still ripples among modern conservatism.

  1996. Capitalism. Where the owning class make believe they work hard for their wealth and accumulated capital. Clearly Classical Liberals would have been anti-capitalist. In fact several showed they were and were suspicious towards capital. Since David Ricardo and Thomas Hodgskin (Labor Defended Against the Claims of Capital). John Stuart Mill advocated worker coops over capitalist wage work.

  1997. Jabber Eus No capitalism is functioning as it’s meant to, monopolists receiving privileges and favors from the government that represents them while maintaining the capitalist socioeconomic order of class society. What it isn’t is liberal economics and free market doctrine. See classical economics is the root of socialism in particular market socialism.

  2011.  @kevin6293  how does that justify abandoning the Kurds? You feel that shame as an American? Good every American should feel ashamed for letting this happen. The only way to prevent this is to not let it happen. We can’t even bring over allies and families because the right starts fear mongering about race and letting in terrorists. We should have brought over the Kurds, maybe their libertarian socialist revolution would spread over here. America has steadily consolidated federal powers, given executive powers to declare war, and on a rightward trajectory towards industrial mercantilism. The vision of classical liberalism was to form a commercial world order, where industry will replace conflict. But America only embraced corporate monopolies and mercantilism. “I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.” Smedley D. Butler

The problem isn’t markets, but capitalism, the system of private proprietors and wage labor.

  2014. marianmgm No Lenin was clear about a top-bottom organization. He created the rule of the Vanguard Party, bureaucratic rule, and “Democratic Centrism” which means centralized rule. Lenin never said he was for people’s democracy. As a matter of fact the Paris Commune, and Anarchist autonomous territories never turned to authoritarianism. They were defeated by Fascists and in Paris’ case the monarch won back Paris. Just take a look at George Orwell the fierce critic of authoritarianism, he was a Democratic Socialist. You have to look more into the history of Socialism, it’s not all Marxist-Leninism.

  2024.  @IronskullGM  Social Democracy isn't Socialist. I myself am a Social Democrat. Though I feel a kindred spirit with Socialists. However Socialist leaning ideas and policy are implemented in a Capitalist framework within a Social Democracy. This mixed economy is however not true Socialism. I'm afraid there is no successful Socialist country for no country has actually had social ownership of the means of production, abolished private property, or forego the State. There are several instances where workers tried. The most infamous attempts at Communism or Socialism have lead to tyrannical regimes not at all compatible with the Socialist ideology, which is not disassociated with a democratic polity necessarily, depending on the school of thought. Democratic decision making is a key concept however. Some of Spain had a syndicalist period however it was not long lived as Franco's Fascism made it impossible for them to act freely and soon Marxists or Socialists were eliminated as political opponents in his rise and dominance. Today there are citizen's assemblies in Argentina that aren't any political power but have an almost Anarchist platform and really just collectively bargain with government and business owners. I'm afraid we haven't seen a true Socialist society in action. The liberal West has antagonized the ideology true enough on the basis of tyrannical regimes and fear mongering. Is this the result of Capitalists influence, or ignorance of the entirety of Socialist ideology? For certain I tell you Capitalism hasn't an unblemished record either. We saw how bad it can be in the Gilded Age, how exploitative it can be, how unfree and harmful it can be to workers, how the wealth and prosperity is not even unequal but far form decent or acceptable . How it can endanger democracy as it becomes Oligarchical, a Princeton study affirms the US as such, how neoliberalism hurts the domestic economy etc... The truth is Socialism wouldn't exist as an alternative order if Capitalism were an unmitigated success.

  2036. real progressive how about Market Socialism. Where workers own the firms and the worker’s associations commercialize within a market system. See capitalism isn’t trading, its private property owners accumulating capital off the backs of a working underclass of wage earners. Liberal capitalism involves a market economy, yet Fascist corporate capitalism involved corporate orders of private capitalists. Quit talking like you know anything. "And, inasmuch [as] most good things are produced by labour, it follows that [all] such things of right belong to those whose labour has produced them. But it has so happened in all ages of the world, that some have laboured, and others have, without labour, enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue. To [secure] to each labourer the whole product of his labour, or as nearly as possible, is a most worthy object of any good government."

  2038. The only reason Gandhi worked which the consensus says no, is it wasn’t all Gandhi’s movement, is because there were many more radical and violent alternatives laid before the British colonialists. Professors of colonial history have revisited the old consensus and established that peace movements do not work, unless the fear of insurrection and violence is present. Therefore the Indian independence was won by a collage of methodologies. The same research has been given to the Civil Rights Movement which found that black militant nationalists were why the government was willing to concede to Dr. King’s movement. Yet it has also been established that the Civil Rights were deemed a failure to procure to Black citizens genuine civil liberties which lead to the militant movements of the 60s-80s like the Black Panthers. Civil Rights were a failure, and MLK was not happy with American society near the end of his life where he would advocate caution in pacifism cause these white people “will kill us.”

  2042.  @whyamimrpink78  you think that's possible in America where they gutted unionization and people turn to pussies in the face of anything remotely socialist. It's possible in the Nordic sphere because they're social democrats where they are actually concerned about the working class. You say "free market" as if it's something progressives want to be utterly rid of. It's a regulated market, like the Nordic countries. Or do you think progressives in America and Nordic social democrats are Socialists that want social ownership of the means of production? Whether through collective bargaining or Federal mandate the result is relatively the same. Though after years of gutting unionization, and corporatists very much interested in maintaining the status quo, and fear of anything remotely socialist chances of doing it like the Nordic countries appears very slim to impossible.

  2071. G. H It differs. The Social Democrats and progressives seem content with a government large enough to maintain social safety nets, competition of small businesses, and providing more equal opportunity measures. They’re pretty good on civic rights unless they let SJWs come in with authoritarian measures. The conservatives are content with having a government large enough to arm a military for special interests and perpetual conflict, and interfering in the personal lives and civic rights of minorities, as well as nationalistic tendencies, so much for individualism. Mean while little interference upon private power of corporations and concentrated wealth and influence to do as they please. See the problem that both share is Capitalism that leads to Corporatism. Corruption and Oligarchy. Social Liberalism is the result of the disparities and social ills the Capitalist economy makes. Conservatism clings to little interference upon the Capitalist economy thinking it is the best for freedom, but want people or society to behave in their own “moral” principles which ultimately seems phony. If I’d pick one that would actually provide opportunities for individuals to live well enough in a Capitalist economy it would be the progressives and Social Democrats as the Nordic model provides more social mobility and fairer competition. Conservatives are only concerned for concentrated wealth, power, prestige, and social traditions. Capitalism only works with the State, interference, keeping property rights, maintaining monopolies in check etc... You want freedom look beyond a system of classes and concentration of wealth.

  2072. JWil42 progressives defend anyone’s human rights. As for the Middle East in general they see transitioning to Green Energy ideal on many levels. Reinvigorating the economy, creating jobs, environmental concerns, and it’ll change relations towards the tyrannical and theocratic regimes of the Middle East in ending dependence on petroleum oil. And of course they want to pull troops from ceaseless conflicts in those regions where they die for special interests of big oil and the military-industrial complex. Ideally our relation to those governments would be humanitarian aid towards the people and trade.

Vaush doesn’t quite understand what Fascism is as a real political and economic doctrine. It’s the equivalent of seeing everything to the left of you USSR style State “communism” except in Vaush’s case almost everything called right wing might as well be Fascism or crypto-Fascistic. He’s also not fully into anarchistic free thought as he has supported the censoring of some things and is into “cancel culture” defense several times. Comes off as social liberal conflict theorist

Again they can ask asylum that doesn't mean they'll all be let in through the process. But pretending they're an invading militia is actually retarded. It would be nice if they accepted Mexico's aid, but truth is they know how bad it is there, the US is clearly more secure so they come here. Not all will try though and those that seek asylum go through a process. Regardless Trump is just denying them anything and will send them all back, acting like all are a rowdy menace. I'm critical of the blatant fear mongering, and ultimately perhaps immigration laws could use reform and clarity. Make secure borders and path to citizenship that isn't so blatantly heinous. Not to make it easy, but practical and rational. It is a nuanced issue, and any simplification should be criticized from either side.

  2085. Cameron Moore no the actual American System was a nationalist economic doctrine of Hamiltonian ideals. Government infrastructure projects, tariffs on imported goods, protectionism, industrial subsidies etc.... literally called the American System and was against Free Trade. It was the economics of the Federalists, then Whigs, then early Republicans (Lincoln era). But yeah it was economic nationalism.

  2086. Cameron Moore to be fair it was seen as the more elitist approach. Remember the Federalists were seen as the elites, speculators, financiers, bankers, Northern industrialists, capitalists etc... only this upper class could afford to worry about nationalist infrastructure and financial capital, or national economy. And yes they saw themselves as an elite, a higher class, better men, and more educated (partly true). Rural farmers and urban workers had their reasons to not agree with them, at least not on everything. But it is what built the national wealth along with slavery unfortunately. The changes have been neoliberal not necessarily “libertarian.” And nothing has been disguised as “communism.” Communism is a stateless, moneyless, classless society. People haven’t been supporting Marxist-Leninism much less actual Communism. Marxist-Leninism is an authoritarian path to Communism, but not the only Marxist or socialist branch.

However I would not be all selfless, selfishness is not inherently wrong. I would like to profit in business, and accumulate wealth. I would choose my loved ones over others and do just about all I can to protect them. I WANT to have feelings and be passionate. I’d have a struggle knowing when leaning towards the light or dark is more appropriate in any given scenario. I want to make something of myself but not at the expense of losing my humanity and hurting others, but I also want to help spread peace, justice, and freedom; but not completely over my own selfish feelings for those intimately in my heart. Peaceful enough to not live with wrath and anger, but powerful enough to protect what matters. It’s a struggle and dichotomy of conflicts but such is life. When does the academy for the Dai Bendu open?! 😇 😈

  2089. George Arndt There are genuine small government rural conservatives that hate Trump, and relish at the thought of defunding the police. They finally have an opportunity to weaken this State tool of oppression called police force. They be out peacefully protesting with BLM. The history of working class has been literal war against the police. The moonshiners was one of the first legitimate attempts at defunding the police as they didn’t want the law in their business. The origins of NASCAR and all that. Trumpists are social conservatives but they aren’t political conservatives. They don’t care about government size or civil liberties. They follow a cult of personality and believe he is the chosen one to bring back “white pride” or some other bullshit.

  2100. Curtis Edward it was about failed revolutions that became tyranny 1. Orwell did not write Animal Farm to be anti-socialist or anti-revolution Writing to his friend, the American writer and critic, Dwight Macdonald, Orwell explained: “Of course I intended it primarily as a satire on the Russian revolution. … I meant the moral to be that revolutions only effect a radical improvement when the masses are alert and know how to chuck out their leaders as soon as the latter have done their job. The turning-point of the story was supposed to be when the pigs kept the milk and apples for themselves (Kronstadt). If the other animals had had the sense to put their foot down then, it would have been all right. If people think I am defending the status quo, that is, I think, because they have grown pessimistic and assume that there is no alternative except dictatorship or laissez-faire capitalism.”

  2101. Kratos why do people talk out of their ass. How about we wait to see if they gave us another promising character fans will like, or a stale liberal agenda. So far Marvel has focused on characters so I’m optimistic. The trailer would indicate more or less what direction they went.

  2106. Kelsper our per capita is more exceptional than most, 50 states populated. And we haven’t implemented these Social Liberal/Social Democratic programs and policies. The problem is that while Social Liberalism found roots in most nations, America abandoned this direction after FDR and the New Deal, and allowed a corporatist take over of the democratic process. Now we have people advocating against their own interests, an establishment media ran by about 6 conglomerates, and messed up priorities.

  2110. Sheepy2055 Fool Anarchism arose out of Socialism. The first to call himself Anarchist was Pierre-Joseph Proudhon a Libertarian Socialist and founder of Mutualism. And the first to coin Libertarianism was the Anarchist Communist Joseph DeJaques. Quit trying to rewrite history.

  2111. Boogaloo Facilitator difference being is no one is forcing them they just think right wing conspiracists are retarded for thinking wearing masks is tyrannical.

  2113. DrMossydog you don’t need conservatives that’s nonsense. How about you get the candidate that has the most individual donors and gets middle America’s support. Bernie’s actually gets the youth, the rust belt, and independents. The states that swung for Trump over establishment neoliberal Clinton originally supported Bernie in 2016

  2116.  @fuckamericanidiot  Fascism isn’t physical assault, political violence is a tool used cross spectrum. Fascism is a political doctrine of extremist nationalism and the goal of a Totalitarian Corporate State. Antifa in America tends to be rebellious youth using aggression to deal with groups they deem racist. While I as an anarchist do not believe them to be genuine political anarchists, and are merely more post-left lifestyle anarchists and punks, meaning they use anarchist aesthetics to rebel against authority, they aren’t contradictory. They aren’t part of a political party, they’re not trying to get power in government, and they seem to be remnant of the Occupy Wall Street, with new generation. I highly doubt these kids that spew anti-government rhetoric want political power. Democrats and Republicans are already more authoritarian than Antifa by being actual political organizations and power grabbers. As for the liberal takeover of sociological conflict theory, which right wingers refer to as “cultural Marxism” while true it is an incomplete social critique focused much on social racial relations, it is an academic school. Find your own schools to oppose that particular academia and may I suggest right wingers stop using Nazi tropes of conspiracy against it, but actual intellectual arguments. Conservative intellectualism is practically dead in mainstream thought. And tapping into Nazi “Cultural Bolshevism” isn’t a serious critique of Conflict Theory. From what I’ve seen post-modernism has increased among conservatives, as evidenced by the behavior of Trump’s administration and his base. A complete distrust to all claimed facts, systems, and institutions. But the neoliberals brought the post-modern conservative reaction on themselves. The West wasn’t built in white supremacy. While it is arguable due to the historical record it wasn’t the only driving force, however it was an important one and encompassed all European empires. White supremacy was imbedded within Western States as a tool of suppression and population control. It was a Statist propaganda and rule to enforce colonial, imperial, and slaver institutions. Rooted in the West’s history, and ripe for historical scrutiny. But the core bedrock of “western civilization” is it’s basis in progress towards greeter freedoms and individualism. Since it’s roots in Mediterranean Greek culture and so on. As well as “western civilization” being but one part of a larger “global civilization” in which cultural diffusion and conquests among global civilizations have formed the modern world.

  2126. Antediluvian Atheist I tend to keep the left-right political spectrum mostly for politics. Left is more egalitarianism in power distribution, less coercion, greater freedom. And right is greater hierarchy, more authority and hierarchy. Due to Marxism the “left” pivots right to achieve leftist goals. But that’s cause most associate socialism with government leaving out the more libertarian socialist models. On economics you can have greater or lesser concentrations of power as well. Most people would conflate capitalism with markets which is in itself a misconception. Therefore people forego Market Socialism which could be a powerful ally in the socialist movement. Truth is Capitalism will always be a socioeconomic model that leans right as it creates class hierarchies, authoritative business models, and concentrations of wealth and power. Classical liberalism lead to socialism, that’s something people like to erase from history. Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Thomas Hodgskin, John Stuart Mill etc... all developed the base of socialism. Neoliberals and Capitalists just like to pretend that their pro-capital economics is anything like what classical liberals were advocating. Back when a greater number of people were able to own their means of production and industrialize in agricultural and artisanal economic pursuits.
    6
  2127. Lance The Gimpy fisherman there are no Socialist countries, educate yourself. No country organizes socioeconomically where the means of production are collectively owned, has eliminated private property (not the same as personal property), or transitioned to a post-Capitalist economy. As a Libertarian Socialist I have to say you have spewed nonsense.
    6
  2128. Perhaps it’s time people look for alternatives to social media platforms. Capitalists would be rid of government, and have instead a state of capitalist rule, and claim it’s freedom of the individual.

  2130. The history and link is there. Not only is it not the actual flag of the Confederacy, it’s the flag of a Confederate battalion, the usage of Confederate paraphernalia as it is still used today became popular during the Civil Rights era against desegregation and reaction to the movement in the American South. It was brought in bulk as a symbol of keeping the lessers in their place. The monuments to Confederates also sprung up in this era. It’s all just racist intimidation of blacks. You’d think if they were proud of southern heritage they’d pick symbols that can unite all of the South, not just white nationalists and racists. Appalachia has more symbols, and figures that can be admired by Southerners, symbols not bigoted towards non-whites

  2132. See if you go far enough left arming the working class is essential. It’s the bourgeois Democrats that go on about believing arms should be regulated. While the frustration is understood, Democrats have no ideal about handling guns. When it comes to extremism and school shootings the problem is the culture.

  2133.  @talltexanintx ??? I mean they also know how to use the internet to study for civics test, I helped my dad for his citizenship test and the questions are elementary. Like really civics testing while I think antiquated in some sense wouldn’t effect liberals in any meaningful way. The youth simply don’t vote because they don’t like the options for election
    6
  2134. Slick Goomba yeah. He was a complex character but he was one of those you can call a true or genuine committed conservative not based on bigotry but genuine concern for Federal overreach. Goldwater’s constitutional stance did not mean he agreed with the segregation and racial discrimination practiced in the South. To the contrary, he fought against these kinds of racial divides in his own state of Arizona. He supported the integration of the Arizona National Guard and Phoenix public schools. Goldwater was, also, a member of the NAACP and the Urban League. Still as a politician looking for political aspirations he was one of the earliest users of the Southern Strategy, based on fear mongering about desegregation.
    6
  2135. Labor action didn’t translate to racial equality. For some yes, but plenty of labor organizers and white proletariat were still racist. Only those who took to socialist ideology sought genuine class solidarity and to dismantle racial hierarchy. IWW types

  2138. Justin Webb and they’re not even class struggle first they aren’t socialists at all. If you’re not anti-capitalist (which was an imperial and colonialist institution) you aren’t for class struggle. They’re class collaborators

  2139.  Julian Price back in action  yeah but Federales are corrupt and incompetent. I'm fairly certain our border patrol know how to handle rowdy crowds without much excessive force. Not to mention they probably fear the US more than corrupt Latin American agents and government. They're not letting everyone in by the asylum laws, and because of Trump's executive orders I'm certain no one is being let in anyway so nothing to worry about. Just that Trump is exaggerating the issue.

  2140. Mordec 101 As a Libertarian Socialist I don’t see what there is to fear of a system of Democratic industrialization, and worker’s control of the means of production. Then again I’m educated to know Socialism isn’t actually Statism, Authoritarianism, and State Capitalism. In other words “Socialism is when the government does things” that nonsense. Socialism is a post-Capitalist socioeconomic system of organization. It values worker’s self management, social ownership of the means of production, democratization of industry, and in Anarchist organization federate and delegate decentralized organization. Socialism is more than Cold War propaganda. And by the way Bernie is actually making Social Democracy popular. Impressive even as he calls it Socialism, the American bogeyman trigger word. Noam Chomsky marvels at this fact. There hasn’t been an American figure this revered talking about “Socialism” since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. And he had a more radical vernacular when talking about the failures of Capitalism.
    6
  2141. Mordec 101 Well Anarchist societies that forewent the State and established communes with Socialist economies say quite different. As a socioeconomic system Socialism is by principle economic liberation and democratization. That’s why all Anarchists are Socialists. Revolutionary Catalonia, the Paris Commune, Free Territory Ukraine, Rajava. Stateless societies with Socialist economies and Anarchist organization. And believe me, those that are no more did not fail in practice, they were defeated by Capitalists and Fascists or Autocratic powers. Regardless the pursuit of liberation remains, and Libertarian Leftists live on. I imagine this is what Liberals felt when the Aristocratic and Religious establishments pushed back and defamed the Liberal movement as impossible fantasies of radical insurgents. Liberalism struggled but survived, so shall their left Libertarian successors.

Universal healthcare is more economical than this private healthcare that costs us per capita double what other countries do. Only economically challenged morons would want the current system to continue over a cheaper and more efficient system.

  2145. Shannon Love that’s the true left wing position. Can’t tell you how tired I am that the “lefts” answer for everything is centralized things and let government handle it. The left is against hierarchy, and concentrations of power. It’s annoying. Social democrats, Marxists, and Jacobins really distorted the left, and the right while calling for limited government are duped into believing that would be the end all. No real criticism of big business and Corporate centralization. The call for limited government from right free marketeers is a call from corporate control without government involvement

  2146.  @gmartines8511  she did. Beyoncé is from Texas where Selena was biggest cause it’s their home state. Beyoncé listened to all the big singers.

  2147.  @nysaxman  probably cause she disagrees more with RFK. Duh she would likely have less confrontation with someone who she agrees more with. Besides RFK’s anti-science bull was already debunked extensively by actual professionals in the field. You ask me Krystal failed at preparing to confront RFK cause the data is already out there. Instead of interrupting she could have just had the information there I’ll give you that. And Kyle and Krystal already let their biases known, in particular Kyle he always says I’m biased towards progressivism. So either you’re just attacking strawman or you haven’t seen their content much. I’ve heard countless times Kyle criticize mainstream media for acting unbiased, and that they should be more like independent media let their biases known to the audience.

  2153. Mitchell klein that’s always the excuse. Einstein was an actual Socialist and the response is “well he was a physicist he should shut up about economics” And what have economists of the Chicago and Austrian school accomplished implementing the neoliberal age other than pissing off the global working classes and creating a global elite with more power than sovereign governments? This corporate world they’ve created would be a handy tool for Fascists to use to implement Fascist Corporatism as the world order.

  2158. missed completely what was discussed. The video is criticizing Shapiro's conflation of POC with other things. Which is funny cause who's more guilty of playing identity politics, which yeah both do it, the organization with one racial outlook or the one with more diverse ethnicity? It's amazing the right complains about the center-right's crappy identity politics yet ignores the blatant white identity politics played by their side.
    6
  2159.  @entishmusic  yeah but it was under the British Empire, and other European empires slavery of Africans spread to the colonies. It was the colonial system. Abolition became the norm in Britain after industrialization made slavery an obsolete economic model. Same here as the Northern industrializing states were supplanting or taking over the economy making the southern slavery model obsolete.

The whole thing was tedious until these two at the end. No one should be a Party Loyalist, that promotes group think. Politicians like the public need to be free thinkers. Besides if you’re a Social Liberal, or a Social Democrat this Democratic Party is not with that ideology. They’re neoliberals, as in Reagan’s economic agenda, and Third Way centrism. Which at this point is center-right. The so called progressives are trying to bring back the Democratic Party to it’s Social Liberal FDR roots.

  2171. Mutineer9 MLK was gifted a Utopian Socialist book from Coretta. MLK was definitely Socialist inclined. Whether he was a Social Democrat or Democratic Socialist I’m not sure. But he was around that area. Regardless Socialism is the next step in liberty and equality. Post-Capitalism that is.

  2173.  @TestMeatDollSteak  yeah the law shouldn’t really tear it’s tentacle in unless it’s protecting minors and real abuse. Social structures must be dealt with by social change not legislation. In the sense that rules are only as good as social norms
    6
  2174.  @whyamimrpink78  they don’t disagree. The majority consensus is that climate change is a danger to sustainable life. The detractors should be heard but they still fall into a minority. I will say though we need a better system of scientific community, because currently special interests and careerists limit the lengths they go to. Very detractor I’ve see has funding from some private think tank or company, the majority consensus are globally publicly funded.
    6
  2175.  @whyamimrpink78  no actually we have scientific journals, articles, peer reviewed research going as far back as the late 70s and early 80s. We have evidence of long term climate shifts throughout the decades, various extinctions, and glacial meltdowns.

  2177. proud American the hell are you on about? American progressives are literally Social Democrats, not much different from Modern Liberalism of the FDR era. You’re under the misconception that Capitalism is synonymous with market economy and Socialism with command economy. Not all Socialism is Marxist-Leninist and centralized economics. There are strains of Socialist Markets in Socialist thought. Just as there are anti-Statist and Democratic strains of Socialism opposed to authoritarianism. George Orwell was a Democratic Socialist. Capitalism is private ownership of the factors of production, reliant on wage labor, and commodity production. These facets aren’t necessary for market economies. There can be non-Capitalist market economies, which several Socialists support. Socialism is not all command economy, just as Capitalism is not a synonym for market economy. And it makes sense Socialists support Bernie. He’s the best person to help the working class out of all other politicians as his record shows.
    6
  2178. As soon as she said “I’m a progressive” I was ready to throw my phone in anger. These corporate Democrats are exactly the moderate liberals Dr.King criticized as being a huge part of the problem.

  2179. JonnyNice the only anti-establishment agenda I’ve seen in American politics come from Sanders and subsequently the wave of progressives he inspired. On the campaign trail, and occasionally at rallies, Trump sounds like he’s against the elitism but if you actually listen there’s nothing of substance or counterpoints to take action. We got our anti-establishment politician in Sanders thank you, we could do without Trump and his establishment policies.

    6
  2187.  @NorfolkCatKickers  the Brits don’t get credit for the “abolition” of slavery earlier. They started it, their colonies continued it, and they were the force of capitalism expanding. The reason they discarded with chattel slavery is because they now preferred wage slavery under industrial capitalism. They remained a colonial power well into post-WW2. And even today they still have financial imperialism in these “former” colonized nations.
    6
  2188. True. Capitalism is incompatible with democracy and freedom. Excess is greed and power over the individual and society in general. She sounds like a true Democratic Socialist here. Love it 😍

  2195.  @LittleAl016  it’s not even about majoritarian tyranny, though conservatives sure love minoritarian tyranny, be it economic or cultural. The fact is this is a liberal democratic republic. Citizens are protected in having civil rights and liberties no power can infringe upon. While to me the Constitution is an antiquated document in aspects, the spirit of it is liberal federal republic, and limited authority in individual affairs. This Republic was founded in principles of Enlightenment, and we shall continue the struggle against traditionalist reactionaries.

  2196. Hewlett Craphard sure but Socialism has always been understood as social ownership. The only mixed economies are mixed privatized and command economies. Not all Socialism/Communism is Statist control of the economy. But Socialism is generally post-Capitalist unless it’s Marxist-Leninist State Capitalism.

  2213. social ownership of the means of production, democratic decision making, riddance of private property, and eventually abolishing the State as an institution. Real Socialism is far more nuanced and different from dictatorships, planned or command economies, and State control or ownership. Those are distorted realities of what Socialism is as an ideology.
    6
  2214. Big Hatter lol Capitalism is private ownership of the means of production, commodity mode of production for profit, and sustaining on wage labor. Markets existed before Capitalism and they can exist without Capitalism. Like Mutualism. A Free Market economy is the free exchange of goods and services without intervention. You don’t need Capitalism for that. Which exploits the productivity of laborers so that Capitalists get wealthier off their work.

Thomas Hodgskin, Pierre Joseph Proudhon, John Stuart Mill, Benjamin Tucker, Lysander Spooner etc... Henry George was also great, though he wasn’t a socialist, his LVT was a sublime economic theory for addressing an issue of inequality Also Einstein was a Socialist lol what a joke

  2218. LampOfExperience So people who haven’t dealt with a problem can’t help deal with that problem? Statistically more whites are killed by police annually, and proportionally the killing of blacks by cops is higher than others. So yeah there is a vested interest to have cops not go in with a shoot first mentality. As for the urban locales, the drug war psyche still runs prominently. Cops think they’re at war with urban poor, and the image of “hoodlums” is still a trigger one. It’s a shame the drug war has lead to this image of the urban poor, where corporations can take advantage of a profitable justice system and fill in the prisons for their free labor markets. As you can see the issue is a lot more nuanced, and if you broad stroke it you get insecurities and rebuttals like “blue lives matter” or “all lives matter” as if the BLM were trying to say otherwise. Focusing on the issue is beneficial to all and police brutality is an issue. As for crime, yeah actual crime or as you put it “criminal brutality” should be dealt with by the parameters of the law. But understand there are more factors to the issue at hand.

  2223. Andres Rojas they force capitalism on sovereign nations to maintain hegemony and markets. The West forces capitalist markets on underdeveloped countries where labor is bought for cents an hour. Please STFU you don’t know what you’re talking about. Plutocracy did a hell of job convincing useful idiots that it is freedom. Real freedom isn’t capitalism or state socialism, it’s libertarian socialism (Anarchism) or liberal socialism if you insist on a minimal state. It is Market Socialism and decentralized planning. The rule of wealth, labor exploitation, and social stratification is exactly the kind of crap system that hinders freedom and liberty. Keep cheering for American imperialism while you can, but feel free to to wear a uniform, arm yourself, and go get that oil yourself if you value intervention. The future is anti-Statist. Go ask survivors of Pinochet’s Chile, or Iranians who lost their democratically elected leader for an American/UK puppet dictator, what they thought about western capitalist markets being forced on them as inequality and poverty grew for the wealth of a few. Who defends Venezuela? No one fuck the State, my support is with the people. Maduro is a half assed leader, in a country relying on one nationalized commodity and over 70% privatized industry. But their sovereignty doesn’t involve having foreign powers intervening in their politics.

  2224. b. 93 Yang is a pro-Capitalist who wants to preserve Capitalism even though jobs will be automated as he says. Yet he hasn’t talked about the issues of maintaining Capitalism as automation rises. That’s why right “Libertarians” like him. Those fools believe the free market and capitalism are synonyms. Bernie would also preserve Capitalism but at least he has plans for greater worker’s control and ownership. As well as elevating labor unions, since he’s a Social Democrat his plans are closer to working class empowerment.

  2235.  La Sneaker  considering it was our government’s meddling that lead to a theocratic autocracy in Iran when it was once a parliamentary secular democracy we shouldn’t feel guiltless. But of course anything for oil, including replacing the elected leader of Iran with a Western dictatorial puppet. Our government’s meddling in other countries hasn’t anything to do with human rights, but corporate hegemony. It’s people who want to fight for human rights, not States. Our military presence isn’t for bringing democracy, but ensuring natural resources. The fact that we want a military presence out of there doesn’t mean the end of struggle for human rights. We have other measures, such as boycott, national alliances against the State of Iran. It is the State that is tyrannical not the people. The human rights of Iranians, and any other nations, isn’t determined by how much we privatize their natural resources.

They knew better than to take that away for the public's support, only difference they only allowed it for those they accepted as German. Today no neo-Nazi supports Social Welfare unless possibly it's only for their group maybe, they are fundamentally opposed to such leftist policy.

  2263. “Corporations embraced the full range of union-busting possibilities in Taft-Hartley, risking only token fines from the NLRB. They drastically increased management resources devoted to workplace surveillance and control, a necessity because of discontent from stagnant wages and mounting workloads [Fat and Mean]. Wages as a percentage of value added have declined drastically since the 1970s; all increases in labor productivity have been channeled into profit and investment, rather than wages. A new Cold War military buildup further transferred public resources to industry. A series of events like the fall of Saigon, the nonaligned movement, and the New International Economic Order were taken as signs that the transnational corporate empire was losing control. Reagan’s escalating intervention in Central America was a partial response to this perception. But more importantly the Uruguay Round of GATT snatched total victory from the jaws of defeat; it ended all barriers to TNCs buying up entire economies, locked the west into monopoly control of modern technology, and created a world government on behalf of global corporations. In the meantime the U.S. was, in the words of Richard K. Moore, importing techniques of social control from the imperial periphery to the core area. With the help of the Drug War and the National Security State, the apparatus of repression continued to grow. The Drug War has turned the Fourth Amendment into toilet paper; civil forfeiture, with the aid of jailhouse snitches, gives police the power to steal property without ever filing charges — a lucrative source of funds for helicopters and kevlar vests. SWAT teams have led to the militarization of local police forces, and cross-training with the military has led many urban police departments to view the local population as an occupied enemy [Weber, Warrior Cops]. Reagan’s crony Giuffrida resurfaced as head of FEMA, where he worked with Oliver North to fine-tune GARDEN PLOT. North, as the NSC liaison with FEMA from 1982-84, developed a plan “to suspend the constitution in the event of a national crisis, such as nuclear war, violent and widespread internal dissent or national opposition to a U.S. military invasion abroad.” [Chardy, “Reagan Aides and the ‘Secret’ Government“]. GARDEN PLOT, interestingly, was implemented during the Rodney King Riots and in recent anti-globalization protests. Delta Force provided intelligence and advice in those places and at Waco [Rosenberg, The Empire Strikes Back; Cockburn, The Jackboot State]. Another innovation is to turn everyone we deal with into a police agent. Banks routinely report “suspicious” movements of cash; under “know your customer” programs, retailers report purchases of items which can conceivably be used in combination to manufacture drugs; libraries come under pressure to report on readers of “subversive” material; DARE programs turn kids into police informers. Computer technology has increased the potential for surveillance to Orwellian levels. Pentium III processors were revealed to embed identity codes in every document written on them. Police forces are experimenting with combinations of public cameras, digital face-recognition technology, and databases of digital photos. Image Data LLC, a company in the process of buying digital drivers licence photos from all fifty states, was exposed as a front for the Secret Service.” — Kevin A Carson; The Iron Fist Behind the Invisible Hand

  2264. MLG Bernie Sanders But why complicate things? It’s alright but it’s kind of taking the political identity of others. George Orwell was a true Democratic Socialist.

  2268. Clear Pilled all spot on points. Also note to the Fascist, specifically Nazis, they tried to cohort the word Socialism to have nothing to do with the labor movement or class conflict.

  2269. Gloin 120 Mussolini and Hitler placed their own movements on the political right. They blatantly say so in their works. The Bolsheviks had State Capitalism and publicized or nationalized all industry. The Fascists were corporatists and privatized everything, as in give it to private owners. Their economies were blatantly Capitalistic. The Fascists were ultra-Conservative and wished to crate empires based on conservative traditions and values. Their supporters were right wing, they literally sat to the right of assemblies before grabbing power. During the French Revolution a conservative was Monarchist. Today right wing is Capitalist.

That was just before the first episode of Stranger Things and when Will got stuck there in 1983. 11 did open a portal in 1979 when she threw 001 to the Upside Down, but it wasn’t a permanent portal. In the opening scene when Dr. Brenner sees little 11 in the rainbow room covered in blood and the carnage around the lab notice there is no portal behind 11 anymore. It wasn’t a permanent portal, she wasn’t strong enough for that, only a temporary portal that banished Henry/001/Vecna to the Upside Down. The first permanent portal was opened when she was older in 1983 and she contacted the Demogorgon

  2278.  @whyamimrpink78  President Eisenhower is too far left to you people. He said anyone against New Deal programs should not be in American politics, and he was Republican. New Deal Democrats were once the mainstream liberal left politician. Bernie is just that, a progressive reformer, FDR also did an ambitious mobilization of workers in the WW2 era. Today progressives aren't different instead of fighting wars, they want to fight Climate Change. None of this shit is new. "Also, he is a radical because he has no desire to listen to the other side." Projecting much? Tell me how many times Mitch McConnell, or Republicans did politics with the Democrats and work with them. Not to mention Republicans are the only faction in the world to flat out deny Climate Change. An organization that opposes facts and engaging in politics, that's what Norm Ornstein, the conservative political analyst Chomsky was citing, said of the modern Republican party. A "radical insurgency" he classified them. Let's mention also about all thes voter suppression and undermining of the democratic process this last general election done by Republicans. The politically uneducated are fools like you who think Social Welfare and Social Democracies are Socialist lol! Many intellectuals and brilliant minds were Socialist, true Socialists. They didn't advocate anything like you do because it was spoon fed to you and sold propaganda. They actually studied, analyzed, thought for themselves, and came to their own conclusions.

Libertarian Socialism or Anarchy values liberty, equality, and solidarity. Worker owned industries ran democratically in decentralized free associations.

  2290. Barry Goldwater, probably the last prominent genuine conservative, agreed. "The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C' and 'D.' Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism.' " --Speech in the US Senate (16 September 1981) "Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them." --Said in November 1994, as quoted in John Dean, Conservatives Without Conscience (2006)

Socialists movements and even Technocratic movements were becoming popular after the Great Depression. I can tell by your reactionary and uninformed comments you have no basic understanding of political economies. State Capitalism is still Capitalism enforced and regulated by the State, just as State Socialism has a State enforcing socialist economies. New Deal and Social Democracy isn’t Socialism. The far left has many ideas for Democratic or anarchist Socialism. It’s Capitalism that will always need the State because otherwise there’d be no protection of private property.

  2309. Can’t we all just support actual liberal society!? Civic libertarianism so that progressives and conservatives can just freely assemble, and tolerate one another. No one needs to legislate social morality, everyone thinks different. Let’s just defend individual rights and liberties and each community shall hold their own social views and leave it at that. The culture war is just protection of the establishment and elites from a unified underclass.

  2310. It's funny how I could care less about my fucking designated race. That's a real reactionary sentiment, cause it is okay to be White. But race has no actual substantive worth like ideas, intelligence, or beliefs. Now if SJWs have you concerned through their loud mouths don't worry, the left doesn't give a fuck about how you identify unless you use it as some pseudo-intellectual or philosophical pursuit to harm the rights of others. And the more left you go the more class conscience over identity groups. Cause it's rich vs poor out there.

  2319. Mark Afanasiev cause all other developed nations have single payer healthcare and the US must be specially retarded if they can’t figure it out over moon landing and nuclear power. And it is fake outrage cause people are mocking him and taking it for a joke he went to a porno with the woman that birthed him. Stop exaggerating. The only ones beholden by identity politics are neoliberal centrists who rely on the minority vote with platitudes and nominal social liberalism, and conservatives who rely on the white and traditional evangelist votes. Actual modern liberals, social democrats, progressives rely on policy substance and class disparities; as in the issues. Only in America would modern liberals and Social Democrats be considered far left instead of the moderates they are on the spectrum.

  2328. The guy get’s shredded for his phony shit. Bring back feudalism is their ideology and they call it freedom. The right has a Nationalistic collectivist ideology as opposed the the left’s worker’s solidarity and democratization of concentrated powers. Archaic BS and beliefs. It’s disgraceful what those right wing Poles are spewing considering it’s that ideology that lead to their invasion and began WWII. Don’t get me started on their Cultural Marxism Nazi conspiracy theories. It’s stupidly contradictory.

The homophobic aspects of the black community don’t shy away from derogatory towards LGBTQ+. It’s also prevalent in Rap. K Dot doing this could be impactful to changing the culture. Every community has anti-LGBTQ+ elements that uses slurs, it’s necessary to engage with it. It’s accurate that this is an engagement of cis gen hetero to trans. Culture isn’t there yet where people don’t realize the weight of their words.

  2339. Roof Korean no he meant the workers. Lenin revisionism not withstanding Marx was a pretty libertarian ideologue.

As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen (Muslims); and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan (Mohammedan) nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
    5
  2343.  @GThe-su9kl  classical liberalism, specifically it’s more radical wings, died out to landlordism and monopolies. The original was highly anti-corruption and anti-monopoly, arguing for the common property of land, and collecting the ground rent, today best exemplified by Georgism and the LVT. Liberals like John Stuart Mill advocated socialist production over capitalist. Classical liberals like Adam Smith and David Ricardo were the predecessors of socialists. Industrial capitalism would form as a reactionary economy policy of monopolists and landlords trying to change the face of liberalism, and succeed with neoclassical liberalism, which was more favorable to elites.
    5
  2344. DonCDXX Thank you. Everything of use these Capitalists try to claim come from Capitalist incentive were just government programs that made the early breakthroughs, publicly funded, and when Capitalists take the tech and privatize the public have to purchase things their taxes created. Socialism isn’t government programs. Nationalization and public ownership is only Socialist if it were a government of the worker’s and post-Capitalist. State Capitalism is a perversion of Socialism.

  2347. Interesting. All these conspiracies are spiritualists looking to fulfill their spiritual needs. Anti-vaxxers, flat earthers, QAnon etc.... The Left needs to solidify it’s stance on religious tolerance and liberation theology. Humanism and transcendentalism. There is spirituality to leftism. But we’ve let the right monopolize spirituality. And religious right are social tyrants wanting theocracy and religious based law. We need to counteract that. The religious right has taken over American conservatism.

  2348. Quigle- Dorf Socialist/Communism of the left? Welfare and social programs isn’t Socialism. Third Way is center-right. It’s globalization (capitalism without borders) and maintaining some social programs. That’s literally the platform of most if not all European Conservative political parties, or economic liberals. They’re to the right of Social Democracies even. Eisenhower was to the left of these Third Way Clintonite moderates, economically he was a Modern Liberal Keynesian like FDR. On that note, Socialism is the ownership of the means of production by the workers.

  2350.  @ojberrettaberretta5314  but that is a sociocultural issue. It’s not tyranny or government influence. It is simply capitalism and capitalist protests where consumers decide they won’t support something they find archaic or against their values. Same as conservatives refusing to bake cakes for gay weddings (government shouldn’t make them). Or conservatives “cancelling” the NFL and NBA for national anthem issues, or supporting Goya because the owner expressed support for Trump. It’s a sociocultural issue that government shouldn’t get involved in because that’s when the 1st amendment may really be in jeopardy. Why is it people conveniently forget the left, the far left is libertarian. Libertarian socialism was the first expression of anti-authoritarianism and anti-statism. Anarchists are socialists etc...

  2364. This is erroneous and misinformed. Marxism as it stands is a politics theory and social critique of capitalist society based in a material dialectic theory of history. Socialists, not just Marx, were a profound influence and innovators of what today is called sociology. Social science as it was known then was the scientific method given to social relations, institutions, and systems. The critique of political economy under capitalism was hence called socialism. These social scientists influenced the social sciences (sociology, economics, anthropology, psychology etc…) What you refer to as race Marxism doesn’t exist, as what you are referring to is a theory of Sociology inspired by Marxist dialectic called Conflict Theory. In which society is analyzed as a relation of perpetual conflict among groups and their interests. This was inspired by Marx’s observance of class conflict in every era of human development. However post-colonialism the Conflict Theorists recognized class aren’t the only groups in conflict. They saw that in the post-colonial world, and it’s social construct of race, racial groups were in conflict with each other. They focus on this niche of social relations and study it to better understand one of the aspects of modern society ie racial relations.
    5
  2365. Sheepy2055 Nazis left. You mean when they privatized industry? Or when they persecuted Marxists and Communists? Or was it when they’re ideology was based on scientific racism and class collaboration. Never met a far leftist who was for class collaboration instead of class eradication. Or was it when they were socially ultra-conservative and wished to preserve the German’s “Aryan” past. Please don’t ever speak to someone out in the world, they’ll lose brain cells.

  2366. Evan Fields if you define Socialism as Welfare then yeah it is socialism for the rich. But socialism is not synonymous with welfare so it’s actually just corporate welfare. Socialism = welfare only in neoliberal capitalist intellectual capacities spread. Actual socialism advocates classless society
    5
  2367.  @naejin  anarchism is libertarian socialism, which advocated bottom-up federation and free association. It originated in the mid 19th century as the anti-statist branch of socialism. What Americans call “libertarianism” is a product of the New Right and pro-capitalist backlash of neoclassical economists against the New Deal. Anarchism is anti-capitalist.

  2368. Conservative ideologue Barry Goldwater said on the religious and evangelist right "The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C' and 'D.' Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism.' " --Speech in the US Senate (16 September 1981) "Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them." --Said in November 1994, as quoted in John Dean, Conservatives Without Conscience (2006) "I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass." --Said in July 1981 in response to Moral Majority founder Jerry Falwell's opposition to the nomination of Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court, of which Falwell had said, "Every good Christian should be concerned." Time Magazine, (20 July, 1981)

You actual illiterate morons. Even the founder of “Anarcho-Capitalism” Rothbard admitted they have no historical basis to call themselves anarchists. Murray Rothbard, concluded "that we are not anarchists, and that those who call us anarchists are not on firm etymological ground, and are being completely unhistorical".

  2379. Modern Liberalism and Social Democracy are ok for a more humane capitalist system. But as we’ve seen elsewhere in the world these more moderate approaches fall back to the inequalities inherent to capitalism, where the capital owners and wealthy are in control of sociopolitical power. The answer is Liberal Democratic Socialism. Leftist forms of socialism where workers take the reigns of political institutions and labor federations and confederations revolutionize the socioeconomics into market socialist and decentralize planning models forming an egalitarian and liberal society.
    5
  2380. Luke Nutkicker speak truth comrade. We owe the things we find most useful to public sector funded research and development, computers, internet, medicine etc... When capitalists privatize and commoditize it they seek profit on things they didn’t “innovate” and then claim capitalism is innovation. Innovation is allowing people to follow their talents, skills, and abilities. Profit looks for self interest, efficiency, and cheapest methods. And then the exploit of underdeveloped nations of course.

And these liberals are actually liberal in the European sense. That is economic liberals.

  2408. Swae Ocean Idiot Capitalism is not a form of government. It is an economic system where means of production are privatized, and driven by self-interests and profit. It literally is how it functions. It’s commodity production. Are you that dense? Socialism is a socioeconomic system where the means of production are collectively owned by those who work them, eliminating private property, and seeks to erase class distinctions. I haven’t the faintest idea where you acquire knowledge but maybe read books and educate yourself. Your idea of Capitalism is laughable by the staunchest of AnCaps. And Anarchist societies like Catalonia thrived with Socialist economies. Enough that George Orwell pays homage in “Homage to Catalonia.” A society free of State government and hierarchies. Keep licking bourgeois boots. Einstein was right about Capitalism, free thinkers know it’s unethical and garbage concentrating wealth to an elite few. You have no clue what liberty is, keep regurgitating your masters taking points.
    5
  2409. Swae Ocean Libertarian (Anarchist) Socialist is exactly what I am. Socialism is a socioeconomic system not a form of government idiot. The Anarcho-Syndicalists of Catalonia developed such a Socialist economy. A completely decentralized organization of Unions. Your dumbass is indoctrinated by a system you were born into without questions. Funny that figures like Albert Einstein, Nelson Mandela, Dr. King, etc... were Socialists. Cause these were educated figures who thought for themselves. If only you knew. The Libertarian Left of Anarchists, Socialists, and Communists are the legacy of Classical Liberals. Those who fought to dismantle structures of concentrated power, wealth, and prestige. The Founders of the USA might have been Socialists and Anarchists had they lived to see post-Industrial Capitalism and mega-Corporations. Indeed they left behind a government begrudgingly, as they viewed it as a necessary evil. If only they knew social organization was possible without government or hierarchies. If only they had lived to see the works of the Libertarians of the far left wing. Anyone who isn’t interested in decentralizing and dismantling of all forms of concentrated power has failed the ideals of Liberalism, of which Libertarianism (Anarchism, Socialism, Communism) followed. Not the Chicago School laissez faire “Libertarians” of the right. Capitalism is exploitation of workers and oppression. Ask third world workers. It is a system of masters and servants. Fuck that shit. The Paris Commune, Catalonia, Ukraine and others proved free societies are possible. Keep licking your bourgeois master’s boots. Knowledge is power, which you don’t have. Now go and keep supporting the status quo of Capitalists and Government maintaining wealth and power and undermining your “Republic.” Kneeling idiot.

To this day the most ardent free market libertarians are anti-capitalist

  2430. Ecléctico Iconoclasta You’re right but the whole developed world has not moved on from liberalism, America isn’t alone in this. They are still predominantly capitalist, and social democrats abandoned the Socialist endgame for reforms and regulations within a Capitalist framework. Still everyone but America at least adopted Modern Liberal and Social Democratic reforms while we adopted Corporate capitalism. Doesn’t change the fact that Social Democrats became modern liberals essentially and there is no classless post-Capitalist Socialist societies in anywhere the developed or most of the underdeveloped world.

  2443. Ecléctico Iconoclasta I’m a LibSoc. I know all this and I wasn’t reducing anything. The Libertarian strand of Socialist thought is opposed to the Statist strands of Marxism. Democratic Socialism itself is a Marxist evolutionary form that advocates democratic principles and methods over the authoritarianism of the Leninist strand. Socialism is diverse, doesn’t change the fact that it’s incompatible with Capitalism. The Proudhonist Mutualism, Individualist Anarchists, and Libertarian Socialists you mentioned all advocated forms of Socialism or Market Anarchism. Not a single one was for Capitalism, wage labor, privatize ownership of the means of production etc... Some supported private property but far from the concept it is in Capitalism. Also Bakunin was a collectivist Anarchist. He was influential to Anarcho-Syndicalists and Anarcho-Communists alike. He was in fact a Social Anarchist. Communism is not defined solely by Statism and Marxist-Leninism. Again Bakunin is a predecessor to Anarcho-Communism as he influenced Kropotkin.

  2445.  @aibrainlet8041  Is that why the DNC gave the victory to Clinton? Or why they continuously scoff at his policies and call him a radical leftist? I'm not from Vermont but it makes sense he'll have ads there running. Here in New York I didn't know of Sanders until his presidential campaign and started seeing ads. The establishment is not behind Bernie, he doesn't take Corporate PAC money, and he's pushed to the fringes of the Democratic establishment. He's not center-right or a corporatist, and online is the only place I can see what he's up to cause mainstream media doesn't cover him like they do Stormy Daniels and her lawyer. Bernie works with Democrats, but he's not a tool of the establishment, he pushes progressive legislation. And why be closer to Democrats? Cause they're more socially liberal and not as far right as Republicans. Same way Libertarians work within the Republican party. They have a rapport but saying Democrats are Bernie advocates doesn't sound true to me. At this point Bernie is a staple in Vermont politics so I doubt they'll be able to push anyone against him.

  2452. Objective Viewer my access to knowledge (internet and books) has made me into a Libertarian Socialist, an Anarchist. Capitalism is an oligarchic system where wealth and capital is accumulated to the hands of a minority elite. They undermine democratic institutions and lay with government officials to maintain a status quo of wealth and power. You have no freedom under such oligarchy. A system based on hierarchy, class creation, wealth disparities, and exploitation of workers is not fit for any society of freedom. Anyone who does not seek to dismantle concentrated power, wealth, and privilege has forsaken the Liberal values they claim to be about. It is that fervor for the doctrines of liberty and equality from the Enlightenment that founded liberal democracies.

  2456. Nordkiinach I’m the clown? I have no interests in a political model (the compass) that claims Libertarianism is possible in any right wing capitalist economic doctrine. Originally left-right means the authority placed on people. Which is why the most left wing is anarchism/libertarianism and the furthest right is fascism/totalitarianism. Socioeconomics is diverse enough to exist under any type of government. But capitalism is a system of class hierarchy and capital domination. Yet they claim it can be libertarian. Only socialism can be libertarian. Not to mention it completely disregards Market Socialisms like Free Market Anarchism. So no the political compass is more of a status quo institutional model. Economics exists under any polity. Socialism can be libertarian or Statist. Market economies can be Socialist or Capitalist. Even Capitalism can be liberal or Fascist.

Scared of freedom, scared of anarchy

  2459. Christopher Barber as a libertarian socialist this is something progressives lack. The centralization of government is empowering the enemy. So long as the capitalists are the ruling class, they will use that government. Sure they could get the social programs they want.... but eventually an opposing government will be in power, and have been more empowered. Granted Universal programs are fairly democratic, it speaks of the weakness of reform when an opposing power can undo such them. This country once had great social programs, until much of the New Deal was eroded. Band aids are only temporary

  2468.  @Zicologo  you got it twisted. Orwell likely would have supported the BLM because it was a backlash and riot from the people. He didn’t like cops, and abhorred when those in power use violence. The protesters and rioters weren’t in power, just a mob out for insurrection. Which is bad, mob rule is bad, but the BLM mob didn’t actually have political power. It was a spring of both peaceful protests and riots culminated from the pandemic, police brutality, and political partisanship. Considering Orwell took up arms to fight alongside anarchists against Fascists in Spain, he would have been against the State. And be critical of focusing on the riots instead of the cause for them. Orwell opposed the capitalist State, and did not condemn insurrection from the lower classes. For damn sure Orwell would have supported Antifa

  2491. It’s time we all moved on towards post-Capitalist Socialism. And no Socialism isn’t the government getting involved. It’s the working class taking over the factors of production, withering away the class system, and moving on from wage labor. So many rich Socialist models to implement. From markets to worker planned economies. It’s time we live up to the ideals of Classical Liberalism and liberty, equality, and solidarity. "It is not needed, nor fitting here (message to Congress in re the civil war) that a general argument should be made in favor of popular institutions; but there is one point, with its connections, not so hackneyed as most others to which I ask a brief attention. It is the effect to place capital on an equal footing with, if not above, labor, in the structure of government. It is assumed that labor is available only in connection with capital; that nobody labors unless somebody else, owning capital, somehow by the use of it induces him to labor. This assumed, it is next considered whether it is best that capital shall hire laborers, and thus induce them to work by their own consent, or buy them, and drive them to it without their consent. Having proceeded thus far, it is naturally concluded that all laborers are either hired laborers or what we call slaves. And further, it is assumed that whoever is once a hired laborer is fixed in that condition for life. Now, there is no such relation between capital and labor as assumed, nor is there any such thing as a free man being fixed for life in the condition of a hired laborer. Both these assumptions are false, and all inferences from them are groundless. Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.” —Lincoln “It has so happened in all ages of the world, that some have laboured, and others have, without labour, enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue. To each labourer the whole product of his labour, or as nearly as possible, is a most worthy object of any good government.” — Abraham Lincoln Lincoln, like any good Classical Liberal knew wage labor was just as bad as slavery, sans the racial discrimination and cruelty. He believed wage labor was only better than chattel slavery because the condition wasn’t permanent. Yet the post-industrial world and multinational Corporative era shows that wage labor is perpetually undermining freedom.

At least the Democratic Party now is going back to center leftism and progressivism, as it was in the New Deal days. And more uncorrupted Democrats have won seats, and they want to expand their numbers. There is no such movement for the Republican Party and the right.

  2498.  Julian Price back in action  "Separation of church and state" is paraphrased from Thomas Jefferson and used by others in expressing an understanding of the intent and function of the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution which reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." The phrase "separation between church & state" is generally traced to a letter by Thomas Jefferson, addressed to the Danbury Baptist Association, and published in a newspaper. Jefferson's metaphor of a wall of separation has been cited repeatedly by the U.S. Supreme Court. In Reynolds v. United States the Court wrote that Jefferson's comments "may be accepted almost as an authoritative declaration of the scope and effect of the [First] Amendment." In Everson v. Board of Education, Justice Hugo Black wrote: "In the words of Thomas Jefferson, the clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect a wall of separation between church and state." In contrast to separationism, the Supreme Court in Zorach v. Clauson upheld accommodationism, holding that the nation's "institutions presuppose a Supreme Being" and that government recognition of God does not constitute the establishment of a state church as the Constitution's authors intended to prohibit. As such, the Court has not always interpreted the constitutional principle as absolute, and the proper extent of separation between government and religion in the U.S. remains an ongoing subject of impassioned debate

  2514.  @adosjustice3242  I said nothing of class programs. I’m a socialist, a libertarian socialist. The only way for black comrades to get self autonomy is the defeat of the State and class hierarchy. Instead of promoting government and Statism organize against the State, form direct action, take control of our communities and decentralize power towards the communities. So long as we keep strengthening the State, the same State that taxes and oppresses minorities, we feed the beast that enslaves us. We form our class solidarity against racism perpetuated by the State. The world belongs to humanity, and labor won’t be free until there are no classes, but the free association of producers. “We’re going to fight racism not with racism, but we’re going to fight with solidarity. We say we’re not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but we’re going to fight it with socialism.” — Fred Hampton, Chairman of the Chicago Black Panthers

Even now they sell arms to Arabia where they're committing genocide against Yemenites. They also are opposed to Universal Healthcare and continue to claim privatized health is preferable when the body counts keep rising over those who couldn't afford to be treated. And the Dems disregard human life? Reps care more about potential life than the actual living apparently. And the Democrats you're so against are center right moderates, they're not even left wing. They're neoliberals and take money from corporate donors same as Republicans. Republicans are the social conservatives, it's why you see the alt right and David Duke swing right towards them. Historically it's the conservatives that were for slavery, segregation, and bigotry. In the past it was Democrats until FDR fought for the workers and the party became gradually more liberal and progressive. Republicans would become the party of white America, Christian fundamentalism, evangelists, pro big business, and neoconservatism. The conservative party and that's why you do see today the bigots and racists support it. It's not that all conservatives are bigots or racists either, but those that are recognize it as the conservative traditional party. It's the political realignment, conservatives went from Democrats to Republicans, and liberals/progressives went from Republican to Democrats.

There is no greater incentive to a laborer than owning their own labor and the means of production. In a Socialist economy labor groups would be autonomous and democratic in their work. Say under Anarcho-Syndicalism medical unions would control their service and decisions under collective and democratized organization. They haven’t need of bosses, they make decisions collectively and to their and the community’s benefit. There is depth to Anarchist order, it’s not we have no bosses so now what?!!

  2525.  @Georgious  political assassinations are used to directly effect a political entity. This scientist was a State official. The whole reason for these interventions are Western and corporate hegemony, privatization of foreign natural resources, and national security. They want regime changes. What world do you live in? As an anti-statist the whole reason for these monopolies on violence is the existence of States. A State can kill en masse, people are punished for the same acts. Why? Because States reserve monopolies on violence and then deem whether people are justified in theirs or not. Chomsky is also an anti-statist. The whole point is to reduce the violence beget violence foreign policies. Ever since Adam Smith the genuine liberal position has been peaceful foreign relations with open markets. Not this mercantilist monopolist’s capitalist system of corporate hegemony.

  2526.  @Georgious  the only evil is the State. They all are. The moment an oligarchy controls it is empire and a liberal republic ceases to exist. The USA is an empire, it is an oligarchy. The way the world works is what it is due to State coercion, once people take autonomy history shows another story. Hence the rise in anti-neoliberal sentiments around the world. In case you forgot how the world works it follows the USA, hence foreign relations depends on our government. This jingoistic nationalist bullshit is just Statist propaganda. You honestly can’t believe that we have to be a police force for peace to reign. The problem is not enough freedom and the corporate hegemony that needs underdeveloped nations to remain so to maintain this neoliberal world order. Chomsky president? An anarchist? You obviously don’t know anything about him then. Chomsky’s ideal is a decentralist federation of syndicates not a State. And the rise of Fascism was due to the same unfettered capitalism and imperialist ambitions of States.

  2527. 32RollsRoyce You’re right. The Gracie’s were pioneers in actual MMA, and badasses. But it’s a chain reaction. The Gracie’s were influenced by Bruce and etc... For the more modern age of martial arts and fighting sports Bruce was a large influence, for his legend and stardom reached many fanatics and enthusiasts. I saw a video of MMA fighters praising Lee as not an exact founder of MMA but more of a pioneer and influence. Lee’s ideas are part of MMA, and they even described Lee’s fight in the first scene of “Enter the Dragon” as a real uncanny early display of MMA, they even took notice of the gloves Lee wore. I give the man his due, and he was changing the image of Asians portrayal in American/Western cinema, hope it progresses further. I love Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen etc... we could always have more such stars.

  2529.  @georgyboi4487 classical liberalism hasn’t been left wing or radical since socialism, communism, and anarchism replaced it as the left most political ideals. Today liberalism is right wing while libertarian socialism or anarchism is the far left. Not even left wing liberalism since that was stamped out by landowning reactionaries. Classical political economy, rooted in physiocracy, advocated common ownership of land and the collection of ground rent (LVT). Henry George would revive the classical tradition briefly in the 19th century. Today liberals are right wingers that equate land with capital and support landlordism and private land ownership, the very feudal relations liberals originally opposed.

  2559.  @whyamimrpink78  That's cause you're ignorant of anarcho-socialist ideology and thought; by the way that comment isn't about politics but socio-economics. Capitalism is a hierarchical structure, in far left ideology no hierarchies should exist unless they can justify themselves. Private ownership is coercive, you have a boss telling you what to do, making riches off your labor while you settle for meager wages. That particular relationship is one that sees capitalists accumulate wealth, while the worker resorts to selling labor for wages that is significantly disproportionate and lower than what their product makes. Hence socialism is the idea of worker's or social ownership, instead of individual. If you're going to criticize an entire ideology educate yourself on the nuances, not the Cold War propaganda the government gave you.

It’s not straw man that Social Democracy seeks to cure the social ills of capitalism via government regulation not ending capitalism. And to empower and centralize government to defend social and economic justice. That’s just describing the political philosophy. The only err here is misidentifying you as a SocDem. Frankly I find no reason to be disappointed in Chomsky. Just cause he supports voting Biden for harm reduction. Knowing his own philosophy that’s just a measure to end Republican policy but not a solution. Everyone knows Chomsky favors Direct Action and activism instead of relying on electoral politics. The backlash against Chomsky’s position and saying he is a traitor (which is laughable considering he’s far more left as an anarchist than SocDems) is because modern progressives only see a path through government and politics. Not a lot of organization of social activism and labor. They put all their marbles in the Sanders basket, and really all I see is progressives trying to win over a political party.

The working class isn’t free, they aren’t like the wealthy who can travel the world and live a life of leisure. Workers have to live day by day, and lucky those few times they can save up for a nice little vacation abroad. The state of their livelihoods is ultimately depressing. After industrialization urbanization boomed, as did alcoholism and crime. Gee I wonder what the disparities in life have to do with the psyche of the working class, the mass of laborers not privileged by the socioeconomic strata of the Capitalist system.

Just cause Meloni isn’t Fascist proper doesn’t mean she’s not far right which is problematic. She’s still into authoritarian ideals. One doesn’t have to be a Fascist to be an authoritarian or nationalist. Meloni’s coalitions are far right nationalist and figures in her circle do have actual fascistic affiliations

I said “at best” not “Venezuela is the paragon of Social Democracy.” Venezuela having a dictablanda that undermines the constitution notwithstanding the economic policy is more Social Democratic than Socialist, as it’s not post-Capitalist. So why is “at best Social Democratic” a wrong assessment? Maybe you should brush up your reading comprehension. This all stems from your belief that Venezuela is a “Communist dictatorship.” They’re not even Marxist-Leninist State Capitalist. There is no one party rule, the fact the fucking opposition is on the move shows you that. They’re not Communist or Socialist, they’re closer to a Social Democratic system got that? Not that they are a true Social Democracy, but that they’re closer to it. The perfected Social Democracy is of course the Nordic Model, Venezuela isn’t that, but at best they bear similarities.

  2589. Michael Vander Wal yeah I guess Nelson Mandela was also despicable for loving and praising Castro. I’m no Marxist-Leninist but the reason former colonized nations have respect for them is they actively supported National liberations and anti-imperialist ideology throughout history. They actively pushed backed against western hegemonic and corporate influences upon these nations, which is the new imperialism. If you’re so well versed you would be able to have the nuance to determine why underdeveloped and former colonized people love Marxist anti-imperialism. Something developed nations and western powers can’t grasp apparently. These people would even rather have an autocrat of their own to protect their interests than capitalist imperialist influences trying to take away their autonomy, create wealth disparities, and national dignity. “We have come here today recognising our great debt to the Cuban people. What other country has such a history of selfless behaviour as Cuba has shown for the people of Africa?” • "We admire the sacrifices of the Cuban people in maintaining their independence and sovereignty in face of the vicious imperialist-orchestrated campaign to destroy the impressive gain made in the Cuban Revolution. We too want to control our own destiny." • "The Cuban people hold a special place in the hearts of the people of Africa. The Cuban internationalists have made a contribution to African independence, freedom, and justice unparalleled for its principled and selfless character." —Mandela Castro was a dictator, an homophobe, and many criticisms can be made of Marxist-Leninist Statism, but to other people he was also a national hero.

In a national election he’ll moderate his tone to appeal to Republicans, but attempt to win over moderates, independents, and middle class voters as well. He’s more of a typical careerist politician. His real agenda is throwing meat to the constituents while serving the big business special interests. He uses populist rhetoric but the only time he’s in conflict with big business is the facade of going against “liberal businesses” and “left woke CEOs.” Like his scrap with Disney.

Conservative political scientist Orstein has said: "the Republican Party today is a 'radical insurgency that doesn’t care about fact, doesn’t care about argument, doesn’t want to participate in politics, and is simply off the spectrum.'" And even though in his time maintaining segregation was a conservative issue so he opposed Civil Rights legislation under legitimate State Rights concerns, and by our standards was a Ayn Randian character, Barry Goldwater was a prominent American conservative ideologue. He had this to say: “Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.” ― Barry Goldwater (5 time Republican senator from Arizona; candidate for president in 1964) quoted in a Washington Post interview, 1994.

Marxist-Leninists take an authoritarian model towards the goal of communism and they have failed every time achieving only State Capitalism. Hence why anarchists and the socialist left clown on Marxism-Leninism as being a failure. Even Rosa Luxemburg criticized Lenin for his authoritarian horse shit. The anarchists of Catalonia did get closer to achieving communism as they were Anarcho-Syndicalists and Anarcho-Communists, but were overtaken by Franco and the Fascists. But before they were gone George Orwell immortalized the Anarchist Socialists in “Homage to Catalonia” as he was there fighting alongside them becoming forevermore a Democratic Socialist.

Think about it the Republican Party today is strong in the South, has supporters that wave Confederate flags when the party of Lincoln was of the Union. Lincoln’s Republicans were the party of the manufacturers, the urban elite, NYC, and bankers. That sounds a lot like modern Democrats that dominate costal cities and financial hubs. Also Lincoln’s Republicans were economically Hamiltonian, they followed the American school system. Which means they opposed free trade and favored government sponsoring of economic growth, protectionism, and government involvement in economy. That’s nothing like modern Republicans. But again all we need to see is that no party of Lincoln would be waving Confederacy symbols. Funny thing is as a Libertarian Socialist I don’t like wither the old Democrats or Lincoln’s administration. The only good thing done was ending slavery. Lincoln was the harbinger of American capitalism and industry monopolies.

DO you think North Korea is a People's Republic cause they named it that? Nazis persecuted socialists and communists. Socialism is left wing, State control, Totalitarianism, and Fascism are right wing. You have no clue what the fuck you're talking about cause like all other idiots you think what Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Chavez, and Castro all did is socialism or even communism. By definition they are not. Those left wing ideas are about social ownership of the means of production, democratic decision making, assemblies, workers collectives, abolishing private property and the State. None of those totalitarian states and command economies are real socialism, it's why they are rejected by those circles and intellectuals. The education you received must be so right wing biased you think Bernie Sanders, a politician who is considered moderate center-left by European standards is a communist. He's more a social democrat and guess what shit for brains? They still have free market. People like you think Clinton was far left lol! Venezuela still had capitalism moron. The only things "socialized," but really nationalized were the oil industry which they relied to heavily on. They still had capitalists and private industry. They're failure was allowing Chavez to undermine their constitution eliminating the democratic polity, relying too much on their oil for the economy, and the nations that put sanctions on them for nationalizing their oil making it hurt America's and others interests. The same happened with Iran's oil when they elected their president and since America couldn't have that they created a coup to replace the elected leader for an American sympathetic puppet, after which the Iranians rebelled and placed a theocratic government ever since. Nationalization and socialization aren't the same. Nationalization means putting something under public control and administered by the government, by basically co opting monopolies. Socialization is something more left wing than that. The idea is founded on putting the workers directly in charge of the companies they own. Imagine if Wal-Mart was owned and run by its employees. That's socialization.

  2627.  @john.premose  yeah but it hasn’t really gone away, due to capitalism’s effects there’s a resurgence of classical conservatism rearing it’s head. Classical conservatism isn’t social conservatism or religiosity like the Christian Nationalism we are seeing today, which forms the ideology of Kirk and Turning Point. Economic liberals or right libertarians I’ve seen are starting to distance themselves from the Conservative fusionism coalition. This new wave isn’t conservative at all, it’s regressive. They’re not supporting capitalism but rather seem to be pushing for neo-feudalism, which is the so called dark enlightenment or alt-right ideology. And they’re pushing for theocracy. What we’re witnessing is the rise of Fascism with American characteristics. Right wing capitalism has been for landlordism, the left wing of radical liberalism has been against landlordism and advocate Georgism. This complexity is just lost in public discourse.

  2630. Shaniqua Shithead cause of post-imperialism and Capitalist interests still profiteering off their natural resources. Hell before the slave trade Africans had thriving empires. Mansa Musa is still legendary for his exorbitant wealth. The eastern African city-States were a central trading hub where India and China would commerce far more than in Western Europe. The African empires thrived as Europe was rebuilding from the fall of Roman State and the conquests of Germanic tribes. Today post-imperial and colonialism still affects the African people. In a Capitalist world there are always greedy pests looking to jack resources. They also suffer from their own lack of unity as warlords plunder the communities further. Unfortunately the pan-African philosophy hasn’t panned out. Regardless their struggles and destinies are theirs to deal with and they are as capable as any human. IQ was found to be genetic, not racial. I suggest “Wretched of the Earth” by Frantz Fanon so that you may further enlighten yourself.

  2634. Dooya Punk So I got to reading your comments and just like the conservative “intelligentsia” you have no clue what Socialism is, not just you but most others on this thread if not all. If you allow me to explain: Socialism is the ideology of socioeconomics, and all political beliefs in the pursuit of the ideology, for a post-Capitalist classless social organization. Where the factors of production are by any form owned socially by the workers. Forms of social ownership include: Public ownership in which the government subsidizes an industry or institution meant for the benefit or free enjoyment of the public. Such as nationalization of certain goods and services where the public partakes. Worker’s collectives/ worker’s coops, in which the worker’s are directly in control of and democratically run industries in associative relations. Common/ collective ownership which is a staple of Communism. In which the community own the factors of production and productivity in common, with all sharing the produce and goods and services. Socialism is broad with many branches or schools of thought. From Statist to Anarchist, Authoritarian to Libertarian. The belief that Socialism is State ownership stems form Marxist-Leninism which became the most prominent Socialist revolutionary political movement. However as I said, Marxist-Leninism is but one strain of Socialism, and even Marxism. Not all Socialists are Marxists, much less Marxist-Leninists. Since this particular branch lead to State Capitalism it is rejected and criticized by all other branches of Socialism as a failure. Even as the revolution was occurring Socialists were highly critical of Lenin and his politics, such as Emma Goldman who was a Libertarian Marxist and Council Communist. A more democratic and decentralized school of Marxism. Lenin himself got rid of the many Socialists who weren’t Leninists and rejected them as “infantiles of the left.” If you’d like a further discussion and any questions about Socialism and what it is, or it’s rich historical development please ask. You may be surprised. Like did you know that there are Socialists that aren’t anti-markets, we’re just anti-capitalists. Market-based economies aren’t synonymous with Capitalism, which is a mode of production. Just like Socialism isn’t a synonym for State control or planned/command economies. I mean Anarchism arose as a branch of Socialism. It is utterly anti-authoritarian and anti-Statist. Socialism is even informed by Classical Liberalism. Such as Jean Jacques-Rousseau or John Stuart Mill who advocated worker’s coops and rejected capitalist employer-employee relations.

Meanwhile the Democratic establishment prove to be corporate sellouts and center right neoliberals. Neoliberalism is the conservative economic policy of Ronald Reagan. They’re not at all social liberals, or well nominally since they do somewhat believe in social justice. But where’s the economic justice? Democrats are center right neoliberals. Bernie and the progressive wing are actually Social Liberals who implement that ideology through Social Democracy.

Mob rule lol Ironically, the rights of property (which are said to flow from an individual's self-ownership of themselves) becomes the means, under capitalism, by which self-ownership of non-property owners is denied. The foundational right (self-ownership) becomes denied by the derivative right (ownership of things). Under capitalism, a lack of property can be just as oppressive as a lack of legal rights because of the relationships of domination and subjection this situation creates.

  2646. Johnny J anti-authoritarian is anti-authority point period. It isn’t simply anti-government, it’s anti-hierarchy, anti-State. The government and State aren’t the same thing. Which is why anarchists are anti-capitalist and we laugh at wannabe right “libertarians” and “anarcho capitalists” trying to have a plutocratic state. We aren’t minarchists either. A lot of these right wingers are truly right wing, meaning deep inside they are authoritarians. They pretend they are anti-government but side with police and politicians over the underclass. They even still fall for racial divisions. Rittenhouse was seen in Trump rallies and is a blue lives matter advocate. That’s not even anti-government. And electric boogaloo been suspect. Some are white supremacist or neo-Nazi groups who believe that the impending unrest will be a race war. Charles Manson might as well be their leader. There are also groups that condemn racism and white supremacy. But if there’s room for ethnic and racial collectivism in a group they aren’t about that anti-authoritarian life. They are authoritarians that believe in racial hierarchies. https://youtu.be/S26-2RXRdOc

  2649.  @dwightschrute47  Sexual diversity has historically been the norm, not the exception, among Indigenous peoples. Ancestral tongues prove it. In Juchitán, Mexico, muxes are neither man nor woman, but a Zapotec gender hybridity. In Hawai’i, the māhū embrace both the feminine and masculine. The Māori term takatāpui describes same-sex intimate friendships, and since the 1980s it is the term used alongside the term queer. Non-monogamy is the norm among the Zo’é peoples in Amazonia and in the Ladakhis in the Himalayas. In other words, Indigenous sexualities were never straight: ranging from cross-dressing to homo-affective families, they are as diverse as the peoples who practice them.

  2651. And this is where people need to understand the property tenets of capitalism. Under capitalism private tyranny is actually the legal rights of the proprietor. Worker’s have no actual rights cause the way we view property under capitalism is private ownership plain and simple. In the workplace the capitalist is king, judge, jury, and executioner (in the give you the boot meaning). Modern liberalism grew out of a concern for capitalism and private power over the populace. Hence the social progressive issues and civil rights movements.

It’s a social liberal and centrist thing. “And the only regime which, in the long run, will dare to permit freedom of speech is a socialist regime. If Fascism triumphs I am finished as a writer — that is to say, finished in my only effective capacity. That of itself would be a sufficient reason for joining a socialist party.” – George Orwell, “Why I Joined the Independent Labour Party”

  2661. Machine Algorithm Alpha When arguing that modern-day fascists should be met with physical force, the response is often something along the lines of ‘who gets to decide who’s a fascist?’, pulling out a line from Orwell’s ‘Politics and the English Language’: The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies “something not desirable”. The implication being that anti-fascists just call anyone they don’t like ‘fascists’ and, by extension, that the people being called ‘fascists’ are actually ‘patriots’ who believe in ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy’ who don’t deserve physical opposition. Conveniently, these people don’t mention the next sentence which reads: “The words democracy, socialism, freedom, patriotic, realistic, justice have each of them several different meanings which cannot be reconciled with one another” and that “Words of this kind are often used in a consciously dishonest way.” The point, part of a section titled ‘Meaningless Words’, is that political buzzwords are used to conceal real meanings. One example Orwell gives: “Marshal Pétain was a true patriot”. Marshal Pétain was a Nazi collaborator who led German-occupied France during World War Two. Orwell’s point is therefore as much that fascists like to conceal themselves behind words like ‘patriot’ as it is that the word ‘fascist’ is sometimes misused. Interestingly, while these types like to pull out the ‘fascism has no meaning’ quote, they rarely mention the following one from chapter five of Homage to Catalonia: When I joined the militia I had promised myself to kill one Fascist — after all, if each of us killed one they would soon be extinct

We want global Stateless autonomous territories united in solidarity of the worker’s, not nation-States. Not one world government.

Social Democracy, like FDR’s Social Liberalism is the centrist position. Government regulation of Capitalism and mediation between capital and labor interests in collective bargaining. Without that moderation Capitalism crumbles under it’s weight and people will radicalize to the far left or far right. This all played out in internationally in the 1930’s.

  2679.  F D  no it doesn’t. Socialism is at it’s core the replacement of wage labor with labor associations. Hence creating a classless society. This is what all socialists like Marx advocated for. The blend of public owned and private owned enterprises is just a blend of State regulations and control of publicly owned assets, and private enterprise. Central planning is not exclusive to socialism, as market socialists can attest to. Corporate capitalism very much functions as centrally planned oligarchy. What those countries have isn’t socialism it’s called liberal corporatism. Economically it’s recognized as a moderate form of Fascist Corporatism. Based in Keynesianism it goes by many names depending on the country. Nordic social democracy, German ordoliberalism, French Dirigisme etc... others just call it the social market system. Keynes identified as a liberal capitalist, for that is what he supported. Keynesian based liberal corporatism is still liberal capitalism. Even Fascists like Mussolini recognized this: “Fascism entirely agrees with Mr. Maynard Keynes, despite the latter’s prominent position as a Liberal. In fact, Mr. Keynes’ excellent little book, The End of Laissez-Faire (1926) might, so far as it goes, serve as a useful introduction to fascist economics. There is scarcely anything to object to in it and there is much to applaud.”

Political doctrines pass; nations remain. We are free to believe that this is the century of authority, a century tending to the Right, a Fascist century. If the 19th century was the century of the individual (liberalism implies individualism) we are free to believe that this is the 'collective' century, and therefore the century of the State." — Benito Mussolini

  2686. Ecléctico Iconoclasta I was talking about Revolutionary Anarcho-Syndicalist Catalonia, not the modern independence movement. Socialism has always at the core been about worker’s ownership of the means of production. Then the Marxist strain introduced more Statist approach. The Anarchists (Libertarians) have always been the Stateless strain of Socialism. Proudhon indeed called himself Socialist, and created the Market Socialism of Mutualism. When saying he was against Communism he was against Statism as it was coming to be known. And I suppose he would disagree with the common ownership of production itself as well. Social Anarchists would develop collectivist, Communist, and Syndicalist movements. Marxists would develop Democratic Socialism, Marxist-Leninism and various other Statist Socialisms. I already said I’m agreeable to Anarcho-Communism which does have it’s differences from Marxist Communism. Such as abolition of the State instead of transitional period. But Anarchism would be free associations of many autonomous communities be they Communist, Mutualist, Collectivist, Individualist etc... All without a transitionary State period, which was what Anarchists had against Marxism as seen when they broke off from the Worker’s International. There is also Libertarian Marxism such as direct worker’s councils, developed by a more anti-Statist strain of Marxists. Socialism existed before Marx and Engels, and it continues to exist in many schools of Statist or Libertarian forms. Those democratic socialists parties you describe aren’t Socialists. Socialism is not compatible with Capitalism. Nearly all Socialists agree that private property, as in private ownership of the means of production, must be abolished. But all Socialists have respect for personal possessions/property. The few Socialists that would allow some private ownership of the means of production would only do so as long as the private owners recompense the community in some way. Just to be clear private property and personal property are two distinct things for Socialists. It’s private ownership of the means we are all pretty much against. Social Democrats aren’t Socialists, they do not wish to go beyond Capitalism. True Democratic-Socialists such as some in the DSA, maintain their Marxist roots and wish to end Capitalism for Socialism. They express that Capitalism is not compatible with Democracy. They would use the Democratic process to take the government and through reforms transition towards Socialism, and yes eventually Communism is the end goal for Marxists. If you’re not post-Capitalist you aren’t Socialist. You can be for Markets or not, but if you do not want to be rid of Capitalism (wage labor, private ownership, commodity production) you aren’t Socialist. Just State Capitalist.

  2695. @Pat Orsban If your resentment is directed downward against the “underclass” and recipients of welfare-for-the-poor, it’s most definitely misdirected. First, let’s look at the little picture, and consider the net effects of state policy on the actual recipients of welfare. Consider how state policies on behalf of land owners and real estate investors, like the enforcement of absentee title to vacant and unimproved land, drives up rents and closes off access to cheap living space. Consider how licensing schemes and “anti-jitney” laws, zoning laws against operating businesses out of one’s home or out of pushcarts, and regulations that impose needless capital outlays and entry barriers or overhead costs, close off opportunities for self-employment. And consider how zoning restrictions on mixed-use development and other government promotions of sprawl and the car culture increase the basic cost of subsistence. You think the money spent on welfare for the poor equals that drain on the resources of the underclass? Next, look at the big picture. Consider the total rents extracted from society as a whole by the dominant economic classes: The inflation of land rent and mortgages by the above-mentioned absentee titles to unimproved land; the usurious interest rates resulting from legal tender laws and restraints on competition in the supply of credit; the enormous markups over actual production cost that result from copyrights, patents and trademarks; the oligopoly markup (once estimated by the Nader Group at around 20% of retail price in industries dominated by a handful of firms) in industries cartelized by government regulations and entry barriers … Now consider, out of this vast ocean of rents extracted by state-connected parasites, the miniscule fraction that trickles back to the most destitute of the destitute, in the form of welfare and food stamps, in just barely large enough quantities to prevent homelessness and starvation from reaching high enough levels to destabilize the political system and threaten the ruling classes’ ability to extract rents from all of us. The state-allied landlords, capitalists and rentiers rob us all with a front-end loader, and then the state — THEIR state — uses a teaspoon to relieve those hardest hit. Every time in history the state has provided a dole to the poorest of the poor — the distribution of free grain and oil to the proletariat of Rome, the Poor Laws in England, AFDC and TANF since the 1960s — it has occurred against a background of large-scale robbery of the poor by the rich. The Roman proletariat received a dole to prevent bloody revolt after the common lands of the Republic had been engrossed by the nobility and turned into slave-farms. The Poor Laws of England were passed after the landed classes enclosed much of the Open Fields for sheep pasture. The urban American blacks who received AFDC in the 1960s were southern sharecroppers, or their children, who had been tractored off their land (or land that should have been theirs, if they had received the land that was rightfully theirs after Emancipation) after WWII. The state — which is largely controlled by and mainly serves the interest of the propertied classes — only steps in to provide welfare to the poor when it’s necessary to prevent social destabilization. When it does so, it usually provides the bare minimum necessary. And in the process, it uses the power conferred by distributing the public assistance to enforce a maximum in social discipline on the recipients (as anyone who’s dealt with the humiliation of a human services office, or a visit from a case-worker, can testify). So don’t resent the folks who get welfare and food stamps. Your real enemies — the ones the state really serves — are above, not below.

  2700. Tyvern Overlord no post Great Depression we lived in a Keynesian economics system and it was called the golden age of economic expansion. A robust middle class and greater opportunity for social mobility. Post-Reagan we’ve been in a neoliberal and supply-side economics system. Corporatism is the most common form of Capitalism, cause it tends to lead there. Capitalism is unsustainable without intervention, it’s very premise is on the protection of private property by government. Without intervention you get a social Darwinian mess, with subsidies you get Corporatism and monopolies. It’s just the natural inclinations of a Capitalist ruling class maintaining the status quo with the State and politicians. The New Deal, Modern Liberalism, looked to save Capitalism by looking at the modern context of allowing individuals to flourish. The New Deal served to placate the working class and prevent Socialist movements.

  2718.  @BleedForTheWorld  in a sense. The first ideological figures of American conservatism post-Revolution was Alexander Hamilton and the Federalists. The Feds held little confidence in the common people and felt that there superiors should be in power, an oligarchy. This included the wealthy, proprietors, and men of education or the erudite. This was known as natural aristocracy, a form of meritocracy. Some founders believed in a national education system that would be of use to find the educated leaders of tomorrow. The Feds also supported a presidency that resembled a monarch, especially Hamilton. Others like John Adams wanted the presidency to hold honorary titles equal to a monarch such as “His Grace” or “Your Majesty.” American conservatism is one of Republican oligarchy, such as the patrician senate of Rome. They believed lesser democracy, and more enfranchisement only to a few considered proper for leadership and governance. Others such as the anti-Federalists and Jeffersonians were more ardent democratic republicans and entrusted the people to know best for them even if not always accurate. They believed in greater popular sovereignty of the people, and self-government. Also economically the Jeffersonians believed in more liberal enterprise and free markets unhindered by monopolies and government agendas. The Federalists were state craftsmen and believed in government influencing economic affairs for building a great mercantile empire to rival the European powers. Economically more mercantilist and based in financial institutions and investment. Hamilton is the father of American capitalism, and he was against Adam Smith’s free trade doctrine against mercantile monopolies. As generations went the South would dissolve into reactionary politics based in institutional slavery economics and social conservatism. The urban hubs would become more diverse and push for populist and egalitarian politics among the lower classes. You can see the difference in ideology between John Adam’s criticisms of Thomas Paine’s “radical democratic” tendencies.

I’m a free market anarchist and the only way to end this monopolist system is socialism, ie replacing the wage slavery system with workers associations. Collective bargaining is a corporatist method of class collaboration. If we want an anti-statist free market, it has to be anti-capitalist. As the free market anarchists of the 19th century noted. Labor unions are just a medium for bargaining contracts between business owners and laborers. Done right it can be a mediator of free contracting. But capitalism doesn’t allow the free market to reign, and maintains labor subjected to land owners and capitalist monopolies, backed by State laws and regulations.

  2739. Billy Actually the so called Communists of the most infamous revolutions developed State Capitalism. Revolutions are bloody and as it so happens they wanted to eliminate all competition, it’s no different what Liberals did in Revolutions. But as it so happens Anarchists, and Socialists side with Republican Liberals historically. Such as in the Spanish Civil War against Fascists. Socialists want democratization of industry and work places. As it so happens the Authoritarianism and State Capitalism of these so called “Communist” countries failed the workers miserably. But Socialism isn’t authoritarian or a form of government, it’s a socioeconomic system. Doesn’t necessarily mean violence and eliminating people. It seeks to end classes and the Capitalist system. Several Communes developed without the Revolution. There are early examples of such Christian Socialist communes. Political revolution is not inherent to the system itself, it’s just one way of establishing it.

  2740. Billy What fault is that of the system? The Marxist-Leninists developed a crap system true enough, one that Lenin called State Capitalism.

And what of Capitalisms record? Rampant poverty, inequality, and profit motivation. As well as imperial pursuits. The more I learned about it, the less ethical a system it was

  2744. Հովհաննես Այվազովսկի lol So if I cared about worker’s I would support the Capitalist owning class exploiting them and accumulating wealth off the laborers productivity within hours of work. Yeah okay. It’s amazing Capitalists believe they’re about freedom. Freedom for property owners and wages for the workers. If you don’t know what you’re talking about do STFU. Capitalism doesn’t thrive without interference from the State. The State is needed to protect property, and assuring monopolies don’t arise the government is needed to regulate. This Capitalist free market fantasy has never existed. Without the State authority the Capitalist pigs would quickly horde all the wealth and concentrating to a few. It’s already crap with the few regulations the government imposes today. Capitalism will always need the State. It’s why Capitalists ran to the Fascists and the Liberals allied with Socialist Anarchists in the Spanish Civil War. Why Mussolini and Nazis had the support of Capitalists. Capitalism began in earnest with government providing private property laws. They are tied together.

Keep in mind the Constitution was made by Nationalist Federalists for a stronger central government. This action wouldn’t be condemned by the likes of Hamilton or even Washington. Remember they sent troops to put down the Whiskey Rebellion, as to them it disturbed the ‘General Welfare’ This is a more mild thing but not inconsistent in substance. The answers shouldn’t be authoritarian measures, and as a civil libertarian I don’t support this governor arresting them. But I don’t think people have the liberty to trample on other’s liberties. Indeed the ideal of “the law of equal liberty” is that all persons must be granted the maximum possible freedom as long as that freedom does not interfere with the freedom of anyone else. Endangering health and life interferes with the liberty of folks. The reason for this gathering is asinine as they could stream services online, or through phone calls, it’s what my grandmother’s Church is doing. Freedom is preserved by a value for rationality and education. This is not liberal, it is theological more than anything. And it can be solved without need of force or endangering others.

All government and public institutions should not refuse service to anyone, it cannot discriminate. Private institutions on the other hand can refuse service. Churches can refuse gay marriage if that’s their view, but civic marriage by the State is for all. In the same vain that government should not interfere with people’s liberties, and pursuit of happiness in sexual orientation, government shouldn’t force people to accept gay marriage, but they’ll have to tolerate it. The answer is no social engineering, and pursuit of liberal values, liberties, and rights. Trust if you are conservative in America you should be conserving a liberal society and the democratic Republic.

  2776. Nah Eisenhower supported the New Deal. Obama is a Rockefeller Republican. The Rockefeller Republicans, also called Moderate or Liberal Republicans, were members of the Republican Party (GOP) in the 1930s–1970s who held moderate to liberal views on domestic issues, similar to those of Nelson Rockefeller, Governor of New York (1959–1973) and Vice President of the United States (1974–1977). Rockefeller Republicans were most common in the Northeast and the West Coast with their larger liberal constituencies while they were rare in the South and Midwest. However Geoffrey Kabaservice states that they were part of a separate political ideology, aligning on certain issues and policies with liberals, while on others with conservatives and on many with neither. They often saw themselves as champions of "good government", contrasting themselves to the often corrupt machine politics of the Democratic Party, particularly in large cities. Eventually they would just be the Democratic Party. A villain is the hero of their own story.

  2792. MarshallJukov Lenin coined State Capitalism to describe the Soviet economy. And it’s as bad as private liberal capitalism. You just replace private owners with the State. Instead of emancipation of the workers, you replace the boss. Look at China with their shitty wages and worker’s committing suicide in sweatshops. If State Capitalism were so great why was Glasnost and Perestroika allowed to happen? I though the Marxist-Leninists got rid of capitalist influences? Nope just made it State controlled. I mean under Marxist-Leninists the nation was still involved in the global economy and traded with capitalist nations. Stalin made an alliance with the Nazis even. Here’s what Marx himself had to say: “You know that the institutions, mores, and traditions of various countries must be taken into consideration, and we do not deny that there are countries—such as America, England, and if I were more familiar with your institutions, I would perhaps also add Holland—where the workers can attain their goal by peaceful means. This being the case, we must also recognize the fact that in most countries on the Continent the lever of our revolution must be force; it is force to which we must someday appeal in order to erect the rule of labor.” At the time of the Anti-Socialist Laws beginning to be drafted but not yet published in 1878, Marx spoke of the possibilities of legislative reforms by an elected government composed of working-class legislative members, but also of the willingness to use force should force be used against the working class: “If in England, for instance, or the United States, the working class were to gain a majority in Parliament or Congress, they could, by lawful means, rid themselves of such laws and institutions as impeded their development, though they could only do insofar as society had reached a sufficiently mature development. However, the "peaceful" movement might be transformed into a "forcible" one by resistance on the part of those interested in restoring the former state of affairs; if (as in the American Civil War and French Revolution) they are put down by force, it is as rebels against "lawful" force.” And he called the Democratic Socialist Paris Commune “The form achieved” as in the prime example of a “dictatorship of the proletariat.” Well look at that Marx supported Democratic Socialism in liberal democracies and republics.

  2793. I’m an actual anarchist, a libertarian socialist. Boogaloo is to blame cause they don’t distance themselves from the hierarchic symbols and there are white nationalists that identify as boogaloo. Much of their actions are to incite the second “boogaloo” or civil war. They’re just anti-government not proper anarchists. The guy interviewed wasn’t the leader of boogaloo. And yes it’s been known there are anti-bigots among their ranks, but the group started from suspect white nationalist movements and it’s hard to dispel that. They can easily disband and start a new group without the bad elements. Us anarchists actually get along with actual classical liberal minarchists. There are genuine and principled limited government conservative folk. But many claim to be that but have a social tyrannical streak. Anarchists don’t have a problem with social progressive or conservative views themselves, though as libertarians most of us question the limits of social norms upon individuals. What we don’t like is when anyone, socioculturally progressive or conservative tries to legislate, rule, or coerce their social views and morality on others. Unfortunately the social conservative right has many on that side as well.

There are alternatives, like the SRA promoting the arming of the working class. Regardless the NRA is too much a special interest corporate group than a 2nd amendment advocacy group. Leadership should be bottom up grassroots, not corporate. The NRA only want people to buy guns. They don’t have advocacy for insurrection groups or open carry watchmen organization.

Bernie is a Social Democrat not an actual Socialist. He’s not trying to end capitalism. I recommend you look into broader socialism. I assure you not all of it is Statist and authoritarian, that’s a result of Marxist ideology. Socialism originated in liberal spheres and this lead to libertarianism or anarchism (not to be confused with right wing libertarians of the USA).

  2805. It’s an outlier, I simply don’t think Trump appeals enough to non-conservatives enough to win a general this time around. The poll itself admits it’s an outlier. Beau did a video on why these polls are misleading. Polls are taken by people who for some reason answer unknown numbers. Republicans are overrun by too many extremists to be viable nationally. But I admit if this helps light a fire under the Democrats good for it. We must also look at the youth vote, just last week Taylor Swift got tens of thousands of fans to register to vote, will they actually vote? Idk but the youth is definitely far from Republican constituencies. I expect a lot of young voters to come out for the abortion issue alone. We’ll see

  2806.  @destinal_in_reality  a republic is just a form of rule that is anti-monarchist, a single ruler. Democracy went from having negative connotations of mob rule to meaning generally representative democracy. In America Republicanism has always been synonymous with representative democracy, and mostly is what people refer to when they simply say democracy these days. The “minority” framers of the Constitution like James Madison referred to was property owners. They feared the redistribution of wealth. In many ways the Federalists, which would be the forerunner of Whigs, Lincoln Republicans, and Modern Democrats; were a counterrevolutionary group that sought to contain the fervor of democracy, and institute a Republic with lesser democracy and greater checks on the political power of the people. The anti-Federalists like Jefferson were the left wing of their time and opposed to the right wing centralists of the Federalists. Jefferson was a radical liberal ideologue and had a greater faith in the common man to govern themselves. Second only to Thomas Paine, the figure synonymous with liberal Republicanism in his age. It was his description of a radical liberal democratic republic that sparked the flames of revolution. Paine was a dissident of what became of the American Republic, and was shunned by the other founders for being too “radical”. No question because Paine had a socioeconomic analysis to freedom and called for egalitarian land distribution, social welfare programs, and a UBI. Modern Republicans have become apologia for the corporate hegemony, and only share social conservatism with their Democratic predecessors. They’ve fully embraced ideals of unfettered capitalism. An oligarchy of business elites. Both parties have embraced aspects of the Federalists, ensuring a full Hamiltonian America.

  2808.  @IconoclastX  I disagree with some of Krystal Ball’s takes here. And I see your point. But populist leaders seem to me the opportunists, not the populist activists. Seems to me the problem has been our form of representative democracy, which is supposedly a compromise between direct democracy and oligarchy. But much of our issues stem from representatives that make legislation to the detriment and without the actual approval of voters. Once we elect representatives, they are out rulers for the next 2 years. They can vote for or against any piece of legislation without much accountability to the electorate other than primaries after. If voting were more decentralized participatory this wouldn’t be an issue. Education is another factor. Thomas Jefferson was someone who advocated more universal suffrage, but alongside an educated populace learned in civics, government, and politics.

  2809. GLYDR Actually it is. Capitalism is the global economy, even “Communist” nations engage in it. The Capitalist elites in every country lay with State government powers to maintain the status quo of wealth and power. Every Republic and liberal democracy is subject to Capitalist interests. They own the government. Granted the Nordic nations aren’t so because they have strong social interests not just capital. So yeah not all countries, but it is a Capitalist world.

  2817. UltimateMcNasty cause they voluntarily choose to be a federation of communes. Even the Individualist Anarchist Benjamin Tucker saw that of anarchist communism and why Free Market Anarchists became AnComs after industrialization prevailed. There is a liberation in pooling resources and possessions collectively together for the free distribution of them to the community. The only common goal in AnCom is the ownership of the means and free distribution. And people are free to pursue their individual interests and goals in AnCom. This has been an anarchist principle since Godwin.

No cause corporatism is what influences policy and their interests are put above the public’s. Taxation for investing in our society is not as bad as people make it out to be. I’d rather my taxes be invested for the people rather than tax cuts for the rich and endless wars to fuel the military-industrial complex. The establishment is who’s robbing us, taking our taxes to fund the corporatist agendas and all they have their greedy hands on: Big Pharma, Gun Manufacturing, Military-Industrial Complex, Corporate Justice System etc...

  2824. Chris's Kingdom of Air Fascism is the collective State over everything. Communism is a stateless, moneyless, classless society. Socialism is post-Capitalist socioeconomic system where the worker’s own the means of production. Fascists persecuted Communists and Socialists. They privatized industry, in fact privatization was a term coined to describe the Nazi economic model. Fascists were Corporatists who sought class collaboration not conflict. Their economies were capitalist. They put the State over everything. Communists would take control of the State to establish the working class as the ruling class and move towards an international Communist society without States. Don’t be disingenuous of the historical facts. Fascists were corporatists, and had private ownership.

  2832. Matt Orfalea the social liberalism is just paid lip service and a public relations ploy when it comes to capitalist elites. Not to say the individual person doesn’t believe in more social liberalism, but it is setback by the priority of their bottom line and making profits. Capitalist society is quite hedonistic and corporations and businesses target groups and advertise their support of social issues and environmental issues so that they have good public relations and a stable base of consumers and clientele. Their left leaning social commercialization doesn’t amount to much when their foremost concern is their business success. Socioeconomics is a serious issue for the welfare of people, and a corporation giving to charity isn’t helping inequalities and so it goes.

  2833. Dragon1717 no it’s only right wing. Fascism is the polar opposite of all anarchist and socialist ideals. Leftists see class struggle, Fascists class collaboration. Leftists want a world without States, Fascists want the supremacy of the nation-state. Leftists want to socializing of the means of production. Fascists want private property for the Nationalist Agenda. Leftists seek to abolish all hierarchy, and believe in equality of means of life while preserving individual inequality and autonomy. Fascists want hierarchy and believe individual inequality is an excuse for subjugation of lessers. Leftists want a decentralized society of autonomous commune, syndicate federations, and free association of producers. Fascists want centralized authority and nationalist syndicalism where collective bargaining occurs amongst interests under State purview for national state harmony. Mussolini and Hitler place themselves on the right wing. I don’t understand this confusion I see about leftism and rightism. There’s a reason Fascists persecuted socialists first. And why Socialists have a hatred for Fascists. They are opposing politics and ideological positions.

  2839.  @slibertas1996  are they? Jefferson wasn’t social conservative. The Dem-Reps were agrarian populist, more democratic, and secular liberal. Not all but the leadership like Jefferson were scions of an Age of Reason. Embracing Enlightenment principles. Jefferson got into trouble often for being mischaracterized as atheist. He was very secular. The modern Republicans trace their politics back to antebellum and Civil War era conservatism still agrarian, but based in rather reactionary politics of racial and aristocratic power. The southern aristocracy were fully reactionary, writing regrets of Enlightenment principles, calling Jefferson a liberal radical, and hating ideals of the American Revolution, or at least selectively choosing which they wanted. This lead to the KKK era, the reaction against Reconstruction, against Civil Rights, and the embrace of the religious right and illiberal politics. Today the Maga takeover continue that rather conservative streak. Another thing to note is the Republicans took over the pro-business politics which was once the northern liberal Republican Party of Lincoln’s agenda. Southern Republicans embraced industrial capitalism and big business, and northern states embraced social liberalism and business regulation. This sort of means Republicans of today embraces the business elite

  2845.  @b.t.1632  this is capitalism. This whole cancel culture thing is a capitalist protest, in which people refuse to consume something they find archaic or against their values. It’s always been like this but with the advent of social media it only seems most prevalent. The right wing has also engaged in such capitalist-consumer protests such as protesting against the NBA with the whole anthem issue; or supporting Goya because the owner expressed his support of Trump. This issue is nuanced but it has yet to involve government censorship, as it’s just consumers and companies dealing with public relations issues. Let’s be real, as time goes social values change. Nowadays people are less prone to accept insensitive tendencies, whereas in the past gay people had to hide their identity because the majority of people would reject them. Companies cater to the demographics and social values of the day, this is just capitalism. In a more inclusive and globalist economy companies are in a place where they want to give off the veneer of agreeing with the larger consensus. I too am a fan of John Stuart Mill, and since he was a classical liberal he had something to say about the conservative ideological persuasion: “Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives... I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it. Suppose any party, in addition to whatever share it may possess of the ability of the community, has nearly the whole of its stupidity, that party must, by the law of its constitution, be the stupidest party; and I do not see why honorable gentlemen should see that position as at all offensive to them, for it ensures their being always an extremely powerful party . . . There is so much dense, solid force in sheer stupidity, that any body of able men with that force pressing behind them may ensure victory in many a struggle, and many a victory the Conservative party has gained through that power." John Stuart Mill ( British philosopher, economist, and liberal member of Parliament for Westminster from 1865 to 68 ) Classical liberalism is something sorely missing from modern American conservatism. In fact the only culture we should be fostering is a liberal culture and free society. Civic libertarianism.

Orwell did not write Animal Farm to be anti-socialist or anti-revolution Writing to his friend, the American writer and critic, Dwight Macdonald, Orwell explained: “Of course I intended it primarily as a satire on the Russian revolution. … I meant the moral to be that revolutions only effect a radical improvement when the masses are alert and know how to chuck out their leaders as soon as the latter have done their job. The turning-point of the story was supposed to be when the pigs kept the milk and apples for themselves (Kronstadt). If the other animals had had the sense to put their foot down then, it would have been all right. If people think I am defending the status quo, that is, I think, because they have grown pessimistic and assume that there is no alternative except dictatorship or laissez-faire capitalism.”

  2855. Socialism comes from Sociology and essentially it’s the formation of a rational industrial society. The very notion of workers ownership means the workers running their respective industries that they are skilled in and the vocational training they have, it is technocratic. From Saint-Simon, to Comte, to Marx, to Proudhon Socialism is the replacement of government by industrial society and administration, depending on the school this Technocracy can be authoritarian or libertarian. The USSR was authoritarian, Syndicalist Catalonia was libertarian technocracies. What Socialism is the Industrial Republic. Much of the comments in this video are quite milquetoast social democratic, and do not encapsulate the whole of Socialist political philosophy and social theory. Suffice it that they don’t even mention the importance of Social Science to Socialism, which is important in forming the “Scientific Society” Socialists historically sought.

All they did was nationalize their biggest export, oil. And Chavez proceeded to use the profits for Welfare programs. But as we know nations like the US and UK don’t like it when a country they can exploit wishes to give it’s natural resources to the benefit of it’s native people. The situation in Venezuela is due to incompetence of government, corruption, over reliance of one resource for it’s economy, and heavy sanctions placed upon the country hurting the people.

  2886.  @adosjustice3242  what they’re saying is that racism and our notions of race are remnants of an imperialist era in which States created concepts of race and racism to maintain and exploit an underclass for cheap or free labor. Looking at history racial theories weren’t a thing until the Imperialist age. Before that nations had no notions of race, but instead of cultures, tribes, and tongues (ethnicities). The racial social construct was developed by pseudo-science to justify and impoverish peoples with notions of superiority by a made up concept of races. Why? For a labor class to be exploited, and plundering of natural resources. This is why most black liberation movements, and third world independence movements are socialist and communist. Socialism is about class solidarity and the abolishment of capitalism, a system of exploitation and racism based in old imperial concepts. The Black Panthers fought for the autonomy and liberation of black Americans, historically a colonized class for exploitation, through their struggle against the capitalist State and imperialism on black people. As well as the the fight of the global international proletariat. Nelson Mandela also fought against the racist concepts of imperialist ideology. His friendship with Castro and Marxist-Leninist leaders was one of class solidarity and struggle against capitalist exploitation and imperialism. Frantz Fanon was such an important writer on the issue.

  2889.  @PMTriox  the issue is social conservatism which is often religious social tyranny. There was a time when traditionalism was far more moderate and based in Burkean philosophy. In the US actually American traditionalism originates with the Federalists like John Adams and Alexander Hamilton. Though regressive politics has always been an issue since the colonial era. If you’ve ever read Rudolf Rocker’s Pioneers of American Freedom: Origin of liberal and radical thought in America, the go into that history of reactionaries against the American Revolution ideals of Enlightenment

  2893. Viorel viorel pretty sure that’s the right wing libertarian position. Free flow of labor, even better cheap labor. Again Democrats are economically neoliberal, a conservative ideology. Both Democrats and Republicans benefit from using immigration for political points. Dems use it for identity politics and put on a facade of progressivism. Reps use it to fear monger and scapegoat immigrants for the economy’s state which were caused by their economic policies and tax breaks on the wealthiest. For their masters the corporations they can use more cheap labor to exploit. I’m not entirely sure the progressive left has a concrete immigration stance but they haven’t been in power to see how they’ll handle it.

  2902. Abbadon380 compare a Statist country like all capitalist countries to the Anarcho-Syndicalists of Catalonia who had abolished the government and lived in the most libertarian society in modern history. Socialism has many schools. From authoritarian Marxist-Leninist, which is what you really hate, to Anarchism and Democratic Socialism. Socialism has roots in liberalism, such as advocated by the ideas of figures like Thomas Hodgskin, John Stuart Mill, Rousseau, David Ricardo etc... The biggest lie they sell you fools is that there haven’t been decentralized Socialism, or that Capitalism is synonymous with Market Economy. Market socialists prove that not all socialism is against a market economy. All socialists are anti-capitalism, not anti-markets. According to free market socialists capitalism is a distortion of free market economy, as the majority of society is regulated to an underclass of laborers being exploited by the capitalist proprietor class. What happened to fair trade and the laborer being in control of their produce? Thinking all Socialism is Statist Marxist-Leninism ignores it’s history as the emancipation of the working class, and is hypocritical. What if people dismissed liberal capitalism because of corporate capitalism of Fascist States, or capitalist dictators like Pinochet? Quit bending over for the rule of capital, spewing outdated Cold War scare propaganda.

  2906. Carter Kinoy I don’t know. Seemed like they were trying to make a point that the founders of the right wing Zionist parties weren’t ethnically Jews, but religious Jews. Ideologically it’s not left wing to be anti-Semitic, or any kind of bigoted. At least the Far Left (Anarchism) it’s part of the very principles to not be bigoted or racist etc... We don’t even believe in the justification of States existing. But that’s a whole other thing. It’s possible for people to be leftist liberals and have prejudices, but that wouldn’t really be consistent with progressive ideology left wing thought promotes. The far right however have justified ideologically bigotry and racism with pseudoscience, racial separatism, racial supremacy, and stupid conspiracies like “cultural Marxism.” It’s disgusting.

The idea the innovation is tied to profit is mythical. And Social Democracy isn’t Socialism. Socialism is a post-Capitalist economy. I would know, I’m Socialist.

  2927. t s this is wrong. Daenerys has never quit her ambitions to sit the Iron Throne. She said she would temporarily stay at Meereen to stabilize Slaver’s Bay/Bay of Dragons. She conquered the place and decide to remain to keep the place in order. She was still a Queen and never said she’s giving up any crown. Same as for her alliance with the North. She wants everyone to kneel. Her entire arc has been about taking her Targaryen Westeros crown. Nothing has suggested she would give up her crown. As far as she’s concerned she IS what is best for the people and is the rightful Queen. Giving up the crown means giving up the monarchy as Jon did. It doesn’t mean postponing her conquest for something else temporarily. She always wanted to be the Queen.

  2929.  @IronskullGM  Didn't care if people were a certain race or color? That was the core their ideology. Blonde hair, blue eyes, Nordic branch of the white race called Aryans. They didn't see Iran as purely Aryan genetically, they thought Germans were the purest descendants of the Aryans that swept through the Eurasian steppes and conquering all these lands. They explicitly promoted "living space" for Germans. And they thought of Jews genetically impure, too diversified, and ideologically fundamentally opposed to the benefit of Germans. There was no attempt at social ownership of the means of production in Nazi Germany at all. They had a capitalist market economy that was guided to serve the Nazi ambition and State. They saw everyone not "Aryan" as a threat to the Third Reich so they sought elimination of any "undesirables" from their State.That's still really bad. It should be said that while Iranians ate this up of course (being called Aryans, though the people had already been calling themselves as such) there were crucial areas where Iranians and Reza Shah didn’t agree with the Nazis, especially their racial laws. While the Third Reich was actively snuffing out Jewery in Europe, Iran was experiencing what has been called its third golden age of Judaism under the Pahlavi dynasty.

As MLK said: “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Which was actually a paraphrase of Unitarian Theodore Parker. Parker predicted the inevitable success of the abolitionist cause this way: “ I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways; I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice.”

You impeach and do the right thing a rabid idiotic fanbase would work overtime to protect their master, the impeachment falls through they get him back in office, or they’ll start their domestic terrorism. If you don’t well you kind of let go his crimes as president, but he’ll likely be out of office by next election anyway. Pros and cons for both, but bad precedent only counts if the same system or standards are sustained. It’s up to the public to choose a government that reforms and sets more appropriate standards where the people are in charge. Preferably a political group that isn’t corrupted by blatant corporate influence. All these problems are a direct resort of civic irresponsibility, continuing to support neoliberals, and sitting down while Corporatism took over the government.

  2939. Yt Account I did say the shows Night King. I know the books legendary figure and the shows King of the Others aren't the same. The 13th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch was speculated to be a Stark or from some other Northern House. I think in the show this figure was incorporated into some leader for the White Walkers. But in the books the Others haven't shown to have a specific leader. In the same way the show blends stories from different characters from the books like: Sansa and Jeyne Poole, Gendry and Edric Storm, and seemingly Jon Snow and Aegon "Griffin" Targaryen; they loosely blended the books mythical Night's King to some original king of the dead. I believe that the shows Night King is a distant relative of the Starks in any case.

Moron I'm talking about actual Marxist decentralization of business from individual capitalists in some sectors . Do you think a country like the US is ready for real Socialism at the national any time soon? First we need social-economic organization among the States, and gradual independence from Capitalist structures. Decentralization of the economic and Capitalist centralized power, should effectively happen among the State levels. Each State chooses it's government and institutions, so long as Federal law or the Constitution isn't trespassed. I suggest we start democratizing industry and the workplace, move towards collective worker's cooperatives, etc... Not everything has to be privatized and wage labor as it is.

  2990. whyamimrpink78 Norman Ornstein from the American Enterprise Institute, a right wing think tank, is the political commentator and analyst in question. You are showing your political illiteracy for miles. First there is nothing moderate about modern Republicans. The Democrats of today used to be called moderate Republicans, even Obama confessed that is what he is. They’re neoliberals, as in the economic agenda of conservatives like Ronald Reagan, and Margaret Thatcher. A liberal economics ideology influenced by Milton Friedman of the Chicago School of Economics. The Democratic establishment is center-right Third Way neoliberalism, the Republicans are more social conservative, and even more right wing laissez faire (and Corporatist like Democrats). One clear example of Republicans being political hacks with no intent of participating in political discourse and ideological consistency is their behavior towards Obamacare. The Affordable Care Act was originally a program founded by the right wing think tank the Heritage Foundation, which is Mitt Romney’s. It was his policy of enforcing private insurance. Yet when the self proclaimed “moderate Republican” Obama implemented the same rebranded ACA/Obamacare, which coincides with his center-right ideology, the Republicans turned on that conservative policy and smeared it as “Socialism” and “Communist.” Explain that political hackery. The so called “progressives” and “far left extremists” in the US are fairly left of center. They are Social Liberals/Social Democrats. While Social Liberalism took root in the rest of the developed world, soon after the New Deal in America it was subsequently abandoned for Corporatism and neoliberalism. These Social Liberals are very much the moderate in the rest of the developed world, where even conservative factions would be hard pressed to reject to an extent such programs as single payer healthcare, subsidized college, progressive tax reforms etc... The moderate positions of Americans are overwhelmingly for such “progressive” policies as it’s right at the center of what majority of Americans support. The fact that you honestly believe Social Liberalism is far left is showing of your ignorance, and uneducated political hackery. As an actual “far lefty” I laugh at your uneducated drivel, and recommend you read more or take political science courses in any form. You have exposed yourself as ignorant of politics.

  3011. Michael Vander Wal the tears after his death was enough proof. Afro-Cubans in particular loved Castro. The high-middle class social elites and professionals that fled Cuba for Miami and elsewhere in the States are the ones that hated Castro because as post the Communist Revolution the regime seized their properties, wealths, and attempted to control their professions. I sympathize with both interests, but to the lower classes Castro was a god sent. Also Cuba did have voting of elected officials in the Leninist system of Democratic Centrism. Not a system I support or care to defend, but the Cuban people did have elections. Not for head of government, but there was many elected workers to positions of office pertaining to industrious fields. Marxist/Leninism advocated a democracy from the top-bottom, it is not an ideal electoral system, there is only one legal party as well, but there was voting for industrial administration. Marxist Leninists should take a page from libertarian socialists and practice socialism from below and decentralized radical democracy. But that’s why the Leninists never got along with anarchists. M-L want an transitory control of State. Anarchists desire to abolish the State.

  3012. Michael Vander Wal the reason Soviets cared for anti-imperialism and end of western hegemony was ideological. In case you don’t know, from all your readings, socialism is an internationalist ideology. It’s “workers of the world unite” not “workers of Cuba unite.” The anti-imperialism of Communist regimes comes from their opposition to corporate capitalism and neoliberal global economics. They literally saw capitalist states as imperial states profiting off of extreme labor exploitation of the underdeveloped world. Whatever you think of these Communists, as I said before I am against Marxist-Leninism, they have an ideological view of the world. Just as western nations have a liberal and capitalistic view of the world. Just as Communists tried to spread their brand of socialism, the USA tried to spread their values and institutions of liberal democracy and capitalism around the world. Including opening capitalist markets to other nations via “Free Trade” It’s a sense of altruism on both ideologies that claim to have the superior morality. When the US government attempts regime change wars and sanctions as foreign policies it genuinely believes it’s in the right and doing good for the world, an altruistic purpose to spread their ideals and institutions. But the truth is when it comes to States it’s all based in the ruling interests. For the US that is corporate America, for so called “Communist” regimes that is the party bureaucracy.

  3025.  @Xpistos510  socialism is the end of political government, for industrial administration, and autonomy of people. The reason I don’t support welfare capitalism, or social democracy is simple, it is state corporatism in it’s sincerest sense. Mussolini said it himself: “"Fascism entirely agrees with Mr. Maynard Keynes, despite the latter’s prominent position as a Liberal. In fact, Mr. Keynes’ excellent little book, The End of Laissez-Faire (1926) might, so far as it goes, serve as a useful introduction to fascist economics. There is scarcely anything to object to in it and there is much to applaud." Now sure modern liberalism is better than unfettered capitalism, but it is only a band aid based on the state and the scraps of the capitalists, and not on the people, the working class, the social revolution.

  3030. __ SidImightbe maybe. The Republican establishment is powerful corporate organization. They won’t likely go far right, the capitalist elites would be more favorable towards Fascists if the far left rises, but it seems even moderate Social Democratic reform strikes fear. Could the far right infiltrate? Of course seeing as the the Republicans have been only moving further right, and white nationalists are in the administration. However Fascism is a distinct Statist political ideology. Once they officially renounce liberalism and democracy for a national rebirth they would have become truly Fascistic. However they may come under the veil of pro-liberalism and democracy. All these idiots crying about Antifa and daring calling them Fascist will soon see it’s not that simple. Antifa is far left to center left. And anarchists have an insurgent history, confronting the far right isn’t authoritarian, they’re not trying to make people fall under their ideology. Unlike the far right who I would grab power to undermine rights and liberties. Far right violence is not comparable to far left insurrection. One seeks authority the other insurrection.

How does the elimination of private property coexist with Capitalism? My gosh George Orwell was right the destruction of language is detrimental to freedom. Now everyone believes Socialism is regulated Capitalism. It’s sad to see. Venezuela is shit because of corruption, bad government, over reliance of one resource for the economy, and heavy sanctions placed upon it. So it’s actually US Capitalist interests of the oil industry that is doing much to hurt Venezuelans. Maybe allow them their sovereignty.

  3033. magomezga I’m not a Marxist-Leninist or State Socialist. Fact remains that Social Democracy is not Socialism. Left wing Libertarian or Democratic Socialism implements socially owned economy from the bottom up. Regardless what we see in Venezuela is not Socialist at all. The Statist Marxist Leninists had more Socialism by eliminating social classes, and being rid of private property. Venezuela nationalized oil and gave Welfare...that is not at all definitive Socialism which is by definition a post-Capitalist socioeconomic system.

  3034. The BenC actually State controlled economies bring people into poverty. Former feudal and Agricultural countries pushing hard to industrialize creates poverty. Centralized systems not working for locales creates poverty. Capitalism is based on the accumulation of capital and wealth thus relying on an underclass of workers kept in wage labor and less capital. It is based on creating inequality as a minority gets control of capital.

  3035. Expendable4 H00 liberal socialists would advocate forms of market socialism and decentralized planning of worker’s federations or confederations. Forego capitalist hierarchy for greater egalitarian and democratic worker’s self management. Anarchists would not have currency outright. Well not Anarcho-Communists. Anarcho-Collectivists would use labor notes. Market Socialists and the most radical Free Market Anarchists would see decentralized currencies where the State did not have monopoly with their national currency. Though likely move towards labor notes and time notes as Josiah Warren did. Socialists believe in the labor theory of value. Individuals would be free to be either independent entrepreneurs or self employed, or associate with a coop or collective and join the federations of labor syndicates as seen in Revolutionary Catalonia. Socialists were the impetus of anti-authoritarian and anti-Statist ideology. Anarchists have sought to abolish states, meanwhile capitalism relies on the State’s protection. Anarchism sees individual freedom as interrelated with mutual aid. Social anarchist thought emphasizes community and social equality as complementary to autonomy and personal freedom. It attempts to accomplish this balance through freedom of speech maintained in a decentralized federalism, with freedom of interaction in thought and subsidiarity.

  3036. NeanderthalRetardo wah. Tell me when Capitalists want to abolish the state and hierarchies and then I’ll take Capitalism seriously as a system of freedom. You like Ludwig Von Mises must be happy the Fascists ended anarchist revolutions. I swear when Capitalist supporting fools act like they believe in greater freedom and autonomy than Anarchists just makes me laugh. Comeback when you find capitalism without government. Orwell is rolling in his grave the way they have successfully demonized socialism as he said authoritarians will change language to rule. “The Spanish war and other events in 1936-37 turned the scale and thereafter I knew where I stood. Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.” “I am well aware that it is now the fashion to deny that Socialism has anything to do with equality. In every country in the world a huge tribe of party-hacks and sleek little professors are busy ‘proving’ that Socialism means no more than a planned state-capitalism with the grab-motive left intact. But fortunately there also exists a vision of Socialism quite different from this. The thing that attracts ordinary men to Socialism and makes them willing to risk their skins for it, the ‘mystique’ of ‘Socialism, is the idea of equality; to the vast majority of people Socialism means a classless society, or it means nothing at all. And it was here that those few months in the militia were valuable to me. For the Spanish militias, while they lasted, were a sort of microcosm of a classless society. In that community where no one was on the make, where there was a shortage of everything but no privilege and no boot-licking, one got, perhaps, a crude forecast of what the opening stages of Socialism might be like. And, after all, instead of disillusioning me it deeply attracted me. The effect was to make my desire to see Socialism established much more actual than it had been before. Partly, perhaps, this was due to the good luck of being among Spaniards, who, with their innate decency and their ever-present Anarchist tinge, would make even the opening stages of Socialism tolerable if they had the chance.” — George Orwell

  3052.  @GolemRising  the mode of geopolitics has changed. Part of the Russian invasion is because it’s an older politic of doing thing. America unfortunately is literally seen as the Sith empire in the world for generations now. From regime changes, to funding extremists (including literal Nazis), to using proxies in wars on their behalf. Just because America doesn’t invade democratic nations doesn’t mean they aren’t imposing wars by proxy or economic imperialism. And they DO invade nations still. Just cause Middle Eastern nations aren’t democratic doesn’t make it any less egregious to invade. It hurts Americans too as the executive consolidates more war powers meant for Congress. Just cause geopolitics is different doesn’t mean the consequences are different, authoritarianism just takes a new face. It also isn’t black and white, the US gov doesn’t consider Cuba a democratic government and nation, hence the heavy economic sanctions, but Cuba does have democratic institutions. The US just doesn’t like the Communist ideology, but it’s not up to them to decide what democracy is. The majority of Cubans believe in their anti-imperialist revolution and support their government

Imagine after Dany agreed to fight with the North, since she had even lost a dragon by then she would want to deal with this treat and avenge her son, Jon still had his crown and people would be less pissed and more friendly to an ally that didn’t want to sovereign over them immediately.

The problem is State’s can’t violate the Constitution if they wish to be part of the American Federation. You’re right that usually State’s Rights is viewed as a way to have tyrannical State polities, but that shouldn’t be a big problem. Political centralization means military adventurism, imperialism, and progress stunted. We need to endorse decentralization and localism, and any States that are illiberal should be shunned or replaced. In America conservatism means liberal conservative, and that should be made clear. Any attempts at State’s tyranny, religiosity, and reversion to illiberal social order should be dealt with in various ways, not least of which includes expulsion from the Federation. Ultimately though political federation should recede into industrial federation.

All they were good for was State Capitalism and scaring off the global proletariat into the hands of Welfare Statists and moderate social democrats. Anarchists predicted where Marxist authoritarianism was heading and Bakunin predicted it to a tee. The libertarian Marxists like Rosa Luxemburg were critical of the Statist control that became of the Bolshevik Revolution. The fall of the Soviets was the end of an era of socialist revolution, but they were to blame. Centralization and party bureaucracy formed inefficient economies. The working masses that need to be liberated only saw another political doctrine telling them what to do and when to do it. Parenti is a Democratic Socialist that doesn’t understand the principles of decentralization and the whole point of socialist revolution, autonomy of individuals and workers into an anti-statist future. The State is counterrevolutionary and anyone that claims otherwise are kidding themselves. The Marxist-Leninists committed enough blunders to know that the problem is Statism not socialism.

There are literally three races White, Black, Asian. And the basis of them are pseudoscience from the imperial ages. Anyway the point is moot. Nazi ideology was based in eugenics and racism. Hitler claimed the Jews were the most mixed ethnicity, therefore devoid of culture, roots, and nationality. Hence we say it was anti-semitism or racism. Honestly the whole concept of race should be contextualized and thrown to the trash bin. It’s not a good categorization of the human species. Ethnography is an actual scientific classification of species. Regardless people need to stop acting like Goldberg had anything intelligent to say, or gave any good analysis. Within context the Nazis were racist, cause they believed in racist pseudoscience and based their political ideology on the very concept of race (roots). Therefore in context the Nazis believed Jews had no race, and were a threat to pure bloodlines and eugenics.

  3079.  @Kevin_Anderson  no actually. Libertarianism entails no government involvement as it is historically a term synonymous with anarchism. Libertarianism originates as the anti-statist wing of socialism, more to the point it is a term coined by the anarchist-communist Joseph DeJacque. In America “Libertarian” isn’t meant as anarchism, but as a new term supposedly meaning classical liberalism. Individual rights and liberties. Abortion would be a issue that shouldn’t be enforced by government and be left to the conscious of the individual. Civic libertarianism is the answer to the culture war, and progressives and conservatives attempting to legislate their moral convictions on others. Neither should have the power to coerce a social life the way they deem fit and leave it to the individuals. Minarchist government is defense of courts, property rights, and national defense period.

  3090. Sheepy2055 In a right-libertarian or "anarcho"-capitalist society, freedom is considered to be a product of property. As Murray Rothbard puts it, "the libertarian defines the concept of 'freedom' or 'liberty'. . .[as a] condition in which a person's ownership rights in his body and his legitimate material property rights are not invaded, are not aggressed against. . . . Freedom and unrestricted property rights go hand in hand." This definition has some problems, however. In such a society, one cannot (legitimately) do anything with or on another's property if the owner prohibits it. This means that an individual's only guaranteed freedom is determined by the amount of property that he or she owns. This has the consequence that someone with no property has no guaranteed freedom at all (beyond, of course, the freedom not to be murdered or otherwise harmed by the deliberate acts of others). In other words, a distribution of property is a distribution of freedom, as the right-libertarians themselves define it. It strikes anarchists as strange that an ideology that claims to be committed to promoting freedom entails the conclusion that some people should be more free than others. However, this is the logical implication of their view, which raises a serious doubt as to whether "anarcho"-capitalists or right “libertarians” are actually interested in freedom. And Anarchist societies aren’t mob rules. There is no archaic beliefs in race, sex, ethnicities etc... No minorities to discriminate against. It’s a society of workers solidarity. A free society of free individuals.

And yeah Antifa has many leftists, too bad they don’t seem to know what the fuck they’re doing. Regardless I much preferred the commie Black Panthers cause BLM aren’t good at keeping the narrative. And if they are commies so what? It’s about time this country had more ideologies other than neoliberalism and neoconservatism. If you understand commies, you know they are anti-government. But I’m not a Marxist, no anarchist is a Marxist cause Marxists are pro-transitional government. They want a government before abolishing the State which sounds like bs to anarchists. And Anarcho-communists don’t want any government, they want direct abolishment of the State for free associations of autonomous communes (cities/towns). Which is why we get along with power to the county conservatives. If Marxists are genuine democratic socialists I’m okay with them. But if they are authoritarian Statists I would be opposed to them.

  3095.  @theaeronautical9203  I don’t care what statists do. I’m a libertarian socialist, an anarchist. If people want to venerate a State and believe in mythologizing the past that’s their problem. Libertarians want to liberate societies from the notions of State.

  3096.  @theaeronautical9203  Here’s my take. None of the historical figures of America lived up to the promise of a liberal democratic republic. The patriots that took arms were inspired by the radical liberal society envisaged in Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. After the Revolutionary War there was a counter-revolution of Federalists. They sought to consolidate power from the “rabble” and wished to replace the original confederacy with a federal centralized system. This allowed the merchant, and banking elite to consolidate economic social status and privileges. The Southern elite, the slave owners were against the Northern capitalist elites being in control of the Fed government so they opposed. Now Jefferson was a controversial figure. He had a radical liberal streak in the mind, but due to his social status and financial interests he remained a status quo bearer of southern elitism. The ideals of Jeffersonian democracy however are influential to any libertarian and liberal. Among the founders was Thomas Paine, synonymous with radical liberalism and republicanism in his age as Marx is with communism post WW2. After being the most important figure of the revolution, in radicalizing the colonists, he was ostracized by the other founders for being “too radical.” The truth is his support of actual liberal democratic republics threatened the status quo and elite status of most of the founders. He died in relative obscurity after calling for the first social welfare programs in the country (including early SS, and a UBI); and in Agrarian Justice penned the justice and need for a fair land distribution and that so long as there was poverty and social classes true liberty evades society. His work was the root of later Henry George’s economics and LVT. “When it shall be said in any country in the world my poor are happy; neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want; the taxes are not oppressive; the rational world is my friend, because I am a friend of its happiness: When these things can be said, there may that country boast its Constitution and its Government” - Thomas Paine, Rights of Man That’s what a liberal republic needs to strive for. The ideals that never came to fruition in America or elsewhere because of Statists and ruling elite classes. Or in the immortal words of Langston Hughes: “Let America be America again. Let it be the dream it used to be. Let it be the pioneer on the plain Seeking a home where he himself is free. (America never was America to me.) Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed”

  3107. Eric Jorgensen no it was the result of the new ruling class asserting their liberty. After ending the rule of Aristocrats and noble blood, the bourgeois became the ruling class. Were they interested in Liberalism and Republicanism, yes! Did they also have liberal economics and their wealth and property in mind also, yes! And so Capitalism became the economic model by which the bourgeois capitalists became the new social elite. If I were a classical liberal back then I’d be a capitalist too. But this mode of production and economy soon after would become another system of classification, disparities, and inequalities. Hence the social critics and socialists put this system under critical lens and developed alternatives. Take the French Revolution. A liberal revolution in which a Republic was eventually formed and capitalism took root. Yet somewhere in that long road towards freedom the worker’s took control of Paris and developed a different society for the worker’s whereby they are not under the boots of capitalist masters. This was the Paris Commune. Inhabited by Anarchists and Marxists (all Socialists) they started the organization of a new society based on worker’s ownership of the means of production and Democratized industry, workers councils, self-management, delegates subject to recall etc... for once the common man in control of their lives and destinies. Of course Paris was soon taken back by the monarchy but the impact was not insignificant. And so the struggle for liberty, equality, and solidarity continues.

  3108. jove dennings the Cold War propaganda is real with you. The Statist branches of Socialism creates a State controlled by the workers. Like it or not their industry and standards of living improved significantly from previous times, in China and Russian specifically. Eventually they devolved into oligarchic State Capitalist and one party rule. The other branch of Socialism are closer to what the likes of Marx proposed, common ownership of the means of production, not State owned. Anarcho-Syndicalist Catalonia is such an example of workers living in a free Stateless society that thrives until Fascist Franco won the Spanish Civil War. Among those in Catalonia George Orwell was heavily influenced by the life he experienced there and even fought back against the Fascists for Catalonia. He would write his praises to Anarcho-Syndicalist Catalonia in “Homage to Catalonia.” Ever since Orwell was a critic of Stalinist and Fascist type authoritarianism, and was a staunch Democratic Socialist until his death.

That’s not genuine leftism, like most countries in the world are liberal corporatist and not socialist or even liberal capitalist.

  3121. Machine Algorithm Alpha .... Homage to Catalonia was Orwell’s account of the anarchist communist society of Catalonia. It was the point where he was full on libertarian socialist. He wrote Animal Farm and 1984 after his experiences in Spain. Orwell detested Soviet-style Communism – a belief strengthened when he ended up fighting Soviet-backed Communists during the Spanish civil war – Orwell went to Spain to fight against Fascism and for the Republican movement. As a member of the ILP, he joined a fraternal Spanish party – POUM – a small Marxist / Anarchist / Socialist grouping who had strong utopian Socialist ideals. Orwell loved their utopian Socialism. “Socialism means a classless society, or it means nothing at all. And it was here that those few months in the militia were valuable to me. For the Spanish militias, while they lasted, were a sort of microcosm of a classless society. In that community where no one was on the make, where there was a shortage of everything but no privilege and no bootlicking, one got, perhaps, a crude forecast of what the opening stages of socialism might be like. And, after all, instead of disillusioning me it deeply attracted me. The effect was to make my desire to see socialism established much more actual than it had been before.” George Orwell, ‘Homage to Catalonia’
    3
  3122. Machine Algorithm Alpha you clearly are rewriting Orwell’s literature to fit your own narrative. The newspeak of equating socialism with government tyranny, that would have Orwell rolling in the grave. The appropriation of right wing capitalist Statists, that would have made Orwell take up arms and insurrect against the State. The point of Homage to Catalonia was Orwell’s promotion and love for the anarchist-communist or Syndicalist society of Catalonia as the most free and individualist society imaginable. And how the Statist Communists of the Soviets and Fascists undermined and destroyed that society. Orwell was no less against armed insurrection to fight capitalism and Statism as the liberal revolutionaries were against monarchy and aristocracy. Again from Homage to Catalonia: “ When I joined the militia I had promised myself to kill one Fascist — after all, if each of us killed one they would soon be extinct.” Or what about “ That rifle on the wall of the labourer's cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there.” George Orwell

  3133. I mean the Constitution itself wasn’t rooted in racism but in liberal republicanism. The closest it came to addressing the reality of slavery was the three fifths compromise. Concessions made to southern land and slave owners to ratify the Constitution and form the government. What was rooted in racism was American culture and economics, which lead to that interest ruling government for years. White supremacy was the scourge that kept this Republic from living to it’s ideals among other things. The government was formed with concessions to slave owners, but itself wasn’t based in slavery, unlike the Confederate Constitution. The wording was intentional because founders like Jefferson believed slavery and racial relations would be reconciled as generations progressed. The controversial figure that Jefferson was as a huge slave owner was his “conscientious” objections, but failure to deliver on his own ideals. His mention of slavery in the Declaration of Independence was it’s abolishment as a blot. But again with Jefferson the ideals were greater than the man

We make our country a corporate mess and some are looking to fix that. Maybe aiding these countries instead of blaming the powerless poor and attacking the heart of the issue as to why they choose to leave their native lands will help everyone.

  3135. Mr Megamax tell that to the Libertarian Socialist societies that have risen and said FUCK you to the State. In these Stateless territories Anarchists were revolutionizing social organization into classless decentralized free associations of workers. This is a level of liberation no Capitalist society could hope to have, because Capitalism relies on the State to even be sustainable. It could never be true freedom. I recommend you read George Orwell’s “Homage to Catalonia” to read about how “free” your Capitalist garbage is compared to Socialist emancipation of workers. I’ve had arguments with right wing “libertarians” before and they tried so hard to claim they’re not Social Darwinians. Try hard as they like, they like you (and Nazis) have a Social Darwinian philosophy and believe some deserve more freedom than others. Yet you are the first to fall to Fascism, and a collective hive mind of Nationalism. So much for valuing individualism.

  3136. whyamimrpink78 The bill would have corporations cover the costs of social welfare since they don’t want to pay a decent wage. This means tax payers won’t cover the costs of things like food stamps and such cause wealthy CEOs don’t want to pay their employees enough. Right wingers would love getting people off welfare or not having to pay for it. This government deregulates the corporate class, it’s why there’s complaining. Sander’s bill is actually about regulation true and Carlson semi approves of it even though he just said regulation is the problem... If them covering welfare leads to let employees go, they lose production. Don’t act like this bill even has a chance at passing though. No establishment affiliates, most of government, would pass it. Carlson makes it sound like the Democrats would crush the bill, when Republicans have congress and are very much for corporate welfare.

The only way to a liberal and free society, the principles this Republic was founded upon, is for everyone to associate with the communities that are like minded and live and let live. Civic libertarianism is the cure to this odious culture war that is just a State tool for people to be divided upon social issues, when social issues should be given space for diverse expression and development. This was the principle classical liberals advocated, that society is the association of free peoples, and culture must be given free reign to progress and advance. “I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society.” Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Socialism however is social ownership, classless, and post-Capitalist. And yes there are markets not using the Capitalist mode of production.

When you read a headline such as “Romney’s deduction caps don’t pay for tax cuts,” what’s actually being said is that the plan would require government to cut not just taxes, but spending as well (or else add to deficit and debt). The underlying premise is that all previously contemplated or projected future spending is sacrosanct — the money in question already belongs to the government, and forgoing that money and whatever the politicians want to spend it on is somehow a “payment” from government to the taxpayers from whom they propose to steal the money in the first place. Sooner or later, the equation balances as “taxes = spending.” Debt is just a way of deferring collection of taxes for awhile (and increasing them due to interest). If there are no spending cuts, there can be no tax cuts.

  3190.  @nickjohnson1424  do you have anything what left-right dichotomy means? You sound confused. Historically left wing is political, social, and economic positions of braking apart traditional hierarchies for more egalitarianism and less authority. Right wing meaning support of traditional hierarchies and authority. Since the French National Assembly this is what left/right dichotomy is. Since the radical liberals and revolutionaries sat on the left wing of the assembly, and on the right wing sat the monarchists, nobility, and clergy. The USA is very center-right to further right. It’s support of neoliberal world order, which started with the Reagan-Thatcher governments implementation of neoliberal Chicago school economic policy. Left-right has nothing to do with social issues, other than support of lesser hierarchies or more on social traditions. For example, countries you would call Communist left have very conservative social positions. If you are socially progressive or conservative you’re left wing if you’re a civic libertarian or liberal; but if you have progressive or conservative social views and wish to impose them by authority on society you are socially right wing. The basis of being left or right is in the breaking down of hierarchic orders. There’s a reason the most extreme left position is anarchism aka libertarian socialism, it’s the most anti-hierarchy and anti-authoritarian position there can be. In todays political landscape capitalism is a right wing position for it’s support of the hierarchy of property owners and laboring underclasses. There are leftist positions that support free markets and are anti-capitalist. Capitalism isn’t synonymous with markets, and conveniently enough market socialism is seldom discussed.

  3195. Daniel Paul hell no! There’s a difference between free market mutualism and phony AnCaps. Capitalism is not anarchist. Mutualists were anti-capitalists and a part of the libertarian socialist tradition. They followed the market socialism of Proudhon. They wanted mutual banking to provided funding to workers at 0% interest rate. They valued labor theory. They wanted occupancy and use, effectively socializing industry and land. They were against the usuries of profit, rent, and interest. Which they believed were allowed due to State monopolization and Statist capitalism where laws favor the propertied class. Free Market Anarchists were everything the Ancaps like to believe they are. They are actual anarchists, all anarchists are socialists.

  3196. Katakuri Shārotto Capitalism was always Statist. It began when the State coerced peasants off their lands for private ownership. Those peasants moved into to urban industrial areas to be wage slaves. Capitalism has always been Statist. There’s a reason the first person to call himself Anarchist was a libertarian socialist and anti-capitalist. "Capital" [...] in the political field is analogous to "government". [...] The economic idea of capitalism, the politics of government or of authority, and the theological idea of the Church are three identical ideas, linked in various ways. To attack one of them is equivalent to attacking all of them. [...] What capital does to labour, and the State to liberty, the Church does to the spirit. This trinity of absolutism is as baneful in practice as it is in philosophy. The most effective means for oppressing the people would be simultaneously to enslave its body, its will and its reason.” — Mutualist Pierre J Proudhon Or how about what Benjamin Tucker, Free Market Anarchist said “The economic principles of Modern Socialism are a logical deduction from the principle laid down by Adam Smith in the early chapters of his Wealth of Nations,—namely, that labor is the true measure of price. But Adam Smith, after stating this principle most clearly and concisely, immediately abandoned all further consideration of it to devote himself to showing what actually does measure price, and how, therefore, wealth is at present distributed. Since his day nearly all the political economists have followed his example by confining their function to the description of society as it is, in its industrial and commercial phases. Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be. Half a century or more after Smith enunciated the principle above stated, Socialism picked it up where he had dropped it, and in following it to its logical conclusions, made it the basis of a new economic philosophy. This seems to have been done independently by three different men, of three different nationalities, in three different languages: Josiah Warren, an American; Pierre J. Proudhon, a Frenchman; Karl Marx, a German Jew. That Warren and Proudhon arrived at their conclusions singly and unaided is certain; but whether Marx was not largely indebted to Proudhon for his economic ideas is questionable. However this may be, Marx’s presentation of the ideas was in so many respects peculiarly his own that he is fairly entitled to the credit of originality. That the work of this interesting trio should have been done so nearly simultaneously would seem to indicate that Socialism was in the air, and that the time was ripe and the conditions favorable for the appearance of this new school of thought. So far as priority of time is concerned, the credit seems to belong to Warren, the American,—a fact which should be noted by the stump orators who are so fond of declaiming against Socialism as an imported article. Of the purest revolutionary blood, too, this Warren, for he descended from the Warren who fell at Bunker Hill. From Smith’s principle that labor is the true measure of price—or, as Warren phrased it, that cost is the proper limit of price—these three men made the following deductions: that the natural wage of labor is its product; that this wage, or product, is the only just source of income (leaving out, of course, gift, inheritance, etc.); that all who derive income from any other source abstract it directly or indirectly from the natural and just wage of labor; that this abstracting process generally takes one of three forms,—interest, rent, and profit; that these three constitute the trinity of usury, and are simply different methods of levying tribute for the use of capital; that, capital being simply stored-up labor which has already received its pay in full, its use ought to be gratuitous, on the principle that labor is the only basis of price; that the lender of capital is entitled to its return intact, and nothing more; that the only reason why the banker, the stockholder, the landlord, the manufacturer, and the merchant are able to exact usury from labor lies in the fact that they are backed by legal privilege, or monopoly; and that the only way to secure labor the enjoyment of its entire product, or natural wage, is to strike down monopoly.” Whether supportive of communism or free market socialism, anarchists are anti-capitalists, because they are anti-hierarchy.

  3197. Daniel Paul cause I’m an anti-statist libertarian socialist.... I lean anarcho-syndicalist but know that in a libertarian society communities would be free to develop their own anarchist social systems. You on the other hand seem to be confused about “anarcho capitalism” which is a right wing ideology developed in the 20th century. And Mutualism which was developed by Proudhon, the first figure to call himself anarchist. Mutualism was his system of free market socialism. It was the root of free market anarchism and anarchist collectivism, communism and syndicalism. In case you don’t know socialists aren’t against markets, but against capitalism, which constitutes wage labor and private ownership of commons and the means of production. Now a communist looks forward to society without even markets, where distribution is made by needs and free to the commune for all. However this is because they believe communism would be superior system for a free society rather than distribution by market. Every socialist from Proudhon to Marx made a distinction that capitalism is the private ownership and wage labor, not markets. Most anarchists, myself included, are for society without markets, even socialist markets, but because we believe communism is better overall. We don’t conflate market economy with capitalism. Capitalism is a system of production. Markets can exist under socialism, as they have under feudal and slave societies. Markets are not synonymous with capitalism.

  3198. 8MercurySunrise8 I agree completely! You touched upon alternative currency. I also talked about ending the State monopoly of money. Currency best suited for a coop sector and society I recommend labor vouchers. Which is why I suggested our best approach would be mutual banking providing the workers with capital (free money) at 0% interest rate this providing means of production to worker’s cooperatives and farm collectives. And also militant radical unionism (syndicalism) on the labor current side. I suggest mutualism because as societies used to markets, a market socialist approach would be proper to get people used to socialization (via Mutualist occupancy and use). Proudhon’s anti-capitalist mutualism was about socializing production and distribution via markets where the usuries of profit, interest, and rent are gone. Unfortunately because of “ancaps” some people conflate market anarchism with right wing capitalism, but anyone who knows the history knows free market anarchism or mutualism is very much a libertarian socialist model. It is against private ownership, and wage labor. I also recommend as you do SEK 3’s Agorism. Participating in commerce and networks outside of the State. Using alternatives. Building mutual aid.

If you’re a Libertarian Marxist, or Council Communist I’m with you. Who was Marx but an incremental Anarchist really? Seize the State for the worker’s but forget Marxist-Leninism, the western world will have no love for it. We’re not transitioning from a feudal autocracy here, we are advanced enough. A worker’s State must be democratic and bottom-top organized. More like the Paris Commune, not Soviet Russia. To emancipate the working class one must liberate the working class. Post-capitalism not State Capitalism. Authoritarian Marxism is done, it’s time for more Libertarian and Democratic forms of Marxism.

I would support UBI under a Georgist program of Single Tax or LVT and on the privatization of natural resources and public utilities. This avoids deadweight loss, limits government taxation (abolish most or all other taxes especially on income) and is socially beneficial.

  3219. 1776 the Dems in the South or Dixiecrats were still segregationists, though they may have agreed more with Democratic fiscal and economic policy. Records show southern Dems and Reps were majority segregationists. The party realignment started happening as the Dems became a New Deal coalition which the working class favored. Come Civil Rights the Dem Party being pushed for legislation to end segregation and for the black vote ultimately shifted loyalties to what was seen as the party of civil rights. The Republican Party in the South then took up the white base as they had no other coalition to turn to. There are literal recordings of southern Republican strategist speaking of how they sought the loyalty of southern whites that now felt disenfranchised after the Civil Rights and end of Jim Crow. See Lee Atwater. You can see that since then Republicans are less socially liberal and more conservative. Republicans wave the “Confederate flag” that originated with protests to civil rights. Republicans have a stronghold in the rural Southern States. Republicans now are State’s Rights, not the Dems. And now the coastal cities and wealthy liberals hold the Democratic Party. That used to be the Republican’s turf (see Rockefeller Republican). Republicans under Lincoln were the party of urbanites, industrialists, NYC, social reformers etc... It’s now the Democrats platform. Right down to the Federal centralization and liberal elite.

Henry became another member of the collective hive mind called the Mind Flayer. As they explained he’s the MF’s 5 star general. The Mind Flayer is using him to open portals so that it can enter our world, which would take more than 11 to defeat if it’s physically in our world.

  3227. A. Q. Venezuela isn’t socialist. The majority of industry is privatized still. Not to mention that nationalized industry isn’t socialist, it’s ran by the government which is supposedly ran by the public. Socialism would give ownership to the workers. The reason you disagree with the Socialists ideas is because you live and have the Capitalist point of view in which success is achieved by profit. Socialism is getting all your needs, working a few hours a day, owning you labor, produce accordingly to a community’s needs, and go home for leisure and recreation. Or use your time with family or study. Socialism is living more fulfilled lives than being a laborer. Many schools and not all go the Statist route. Hence the libertarian left, anarchists. That’s the thing Socialism is having a different worldview. But all that won’t be necessary until Capitalism collapses on itself. Marx has predicted the great wealth disparities and automation, soon Socialism may not sound like what the Cold War propaganda told you

  3230. One of the earliest examples of “textualism” in the interpretation of the Constitution was done by anarchist Lysander Spooner. He used it to support the abolition of slavery. To argue the unconstitutionally of slavery. It was effective in winning over people who had no moral sense of abolitionism, but wanted to feel they were being constitutional. Textualism only works when you actually understand the liberal values of a liberal document like the Constitution. Ironically though Spooner used the Constitution to fight for greater liberties, and abolition, he believed the living generation have to reason to be governed by the dead. That it’s not a social contract anyone living agreed to, and that it was a hindrance to freedom. He believed in a free society, there would be no government to coerce, that people should freely associate in a libertarian anti-capitalist society.

  3237.  @blazetooth1  Most Americans see nothing wrong with inequality of income so long as it comes with plenty of social mobility: it is simply the price paid for a dynamic economy. But the new rise in inequality does not seem to have come with a commensurate rise in mobility. There may even have been a fall. The most vivid evidence of social sclerosis comes from politics. A country where every child is supposed to be able to dream of becoming president is beginning to produce a self-perpetuating political elite. George Bush is the son of a president, the grandson of a senator, and the sprig of America's business aristocracy. John Kerry, thanks to a rich wife, is the richest man in a Senate full of plutocrats. He is also a Boston brahmin, educated at St Paul's, a posh private school, and Yale—where, like the Bushes, he belonged to the ultra-select Skull and Bones society. Mr Kerry's predecessor as the Democrats' presidential nominee, Al Gore, was the son of a senator. Mr Gore, too, was educated at a posh private school, St Albans, and then at Harvard. And Mr Kerry's main challenger from the left of his party? Howard Brush Dean was the product of the same blue-blooded world of private schools and unchanging middle names as Mr Bush (one of Mr Bush's grandmothers was even a bridesmaid to one of Mr Dean's). Mr Dean grew up in the Hamptons and on New York's Park Avenue. The most remarkable feature of the continuing power of America's elite—and its growing grip on the political system—is how little comment it arouses. Britain would be in high dudgeon if its party leaders all came from Eton and Harrow. Perhaps one reason why the rise of caste politics raises so little comment is that something similar is happening throughout American society. Everywhere you look in modern America—in the Hollywood Hills or the canyons of Wall Street, in the Nashville recording studios or the clapboard houses of Cambridge, Massachusetts—you see elites mastering the art of perpetuating themselves. America is increasingly looking like imperial Britain, with dynastic ties proliferating, social circles interlocking, mechanisms of social exclusion strengthening and a gap widening between the people who make the decisions and shape the culture and the vast majority of ordinary working stiffs.

  3244. Right “libertarianism” is just laissez faire capitalism. It’s classical liberalism, not libertarianism. Libertarianism is Anarchism, Libertarian Socialism. The Stateless Socialists that first called themselves libertarian were anti-Statist, anti-Authority, and anti-Capitalist. Right wingers in America took the term, but they’re minarchist Classical Liberals. So called “left-libertarianism” or actual libertarianism is Anarchist Stateless Socialism. 9:54 by your definition of liberty I think you may find Libertarian Socialism agreeable in some forms. Free societies of free individuals. Unlike propertarian selective freedom, being Socialist we believe in the good of collective society to address their issues and allow an environment for everyone to develop their own innate abilities, skills, and talents.

  3252. Public Guy They call themselves Communist because their goal or Endgame is supposedly Communism. A stateless, classless, moneyless society with commune or worker’s ownership of the means. Marxist-Leninists are the ones that go around believing to achieve Communism they must first have a State Socialism. Which the far left criticize as State Capitalism and authoritarian. George Orwell for example was a Democratic Socialist (a real one that wanted to abolish capitalism) and he was highly critical of Stalin and the Soviet Union. Orwell also was an ally to the Anarcho-Syndicalists and Communists of Catalonia.

  3268. 10goldfinger Nope. Fascists privatized industry, and believed in class collaboration. Whereas Socialism is about ending classes and collectivizing industry. Fascists also persecuted Socialists and Marxists from their dominions. Mussolini in his youth was a Socialist, but later he came up with this collective ultra-Nationalism he called Fascism. And it was a political stance, whereas Socialism isn’t even a form of government, it’s a socioeconomic system. Mussolini himself places his movement on the right wing of the political spectrum. Fascism isn’t Socialism, Fascists themselves spoke of the “evils” of Communism and whatnot. Same with Franco who defeated Republicans and the Socialists that aided the Liberals in the Spanish Civil War. Also Fascists were VERY conservative. They sought glories from the past and espoused traditional mores and culture.

  3269. Christuserloeser Social Darwinism despite it’s name is more accredited to Herbert Spencer. They were contemporaries and influenced each other. Though I believe Social Darwinism in it’s core principles came after Spencer had read Darwin’s “On the Origins of Species.” But naturalist theories were around before them two and of course there was diffusion of information that went around and influenced their positions. Though Social Darwinism is the application of Darwin’s theories of natural selection and evolution into Society so not really true that Social Darwinian thought was around before Darwin’s theories were published.

  3275.  @FootballFanFlyingSaucer  they aren’t. Modern Democrats come from the legacy of Federalists- Whigs- Lincoln Republicans- Modern social liberal Democrats. The political tradition of Northern and urbane States. They aren’t really liberal in the classical sense. They are neoliberal and favor welfare state as a solution to modern capitalism. Modern Democrats are traditionalist conservatives, not social conservatives. They conserve the political institutions and infrastructure, they are incrementalists and favor Reagan Chicago School neoliberalism. Traditionalist conservatives in America have a pretty decent history of incremental progress when they feel it necessary. Social conservatives however are religious illiberal fanatics. But neither modern Democrats nor Republicans represent classical liberalism and republicanism. They represent wealth monopolies, are against a free market, and they are neoconservative in foreign affairs.

  3276.  @FootballFanFlyingSaucer  Lincoln’s party came from Hamiltonian American School of Economics. Meaning they were anti-free trade and for nationalist economics. This is not a stance I agree with, but Lincoln held illiberal economic views on foreign trade. He did however hold classical liberal views on labor and capital. The International Workingmen Association and Marxists therein supported Lincoln, and Marx even wrote him a letter congratulating him on a second term and victory for the end of slavery. Lincoln held proper views on labor’s place in the republic that modern Republicans would find “socialist.” "Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration." Lincoln's First Annual Message to Congress, December 3, 1861. "And, inasmuch [as] most good things are produced by labour, it follows that [all] such things of right belong to those whose labour has produced them. But it has so happened in all ages of the world, that some have laboured, and others have, without labour, enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue. To [secure] to each labourer the whole product of his labour, or as nearly as possible, is a most worthy object of any good government." The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume I, "Fragments of a Tariff Discussion" (December 1, 1847). "And I am glad to know that there is a system of labor where the laborer can strike if he wants to! I would to God that such a system prevailed all over the world.” Abraham Lincoln, "Speech at Hartford, Connecticut" (March 5, 1860) "...the working men are the basis of all governments, for the plain reason that they are the most numerous..." The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, "Speech to Germans at Cincinnati, Ohio" (February 12, 1861) Had Lincoln live the Republican Party may have been a John Stuart Mill-esque liberal-socialist party. After his death the wealthy financiers and capitalists took over the party and the Republican Party was the party of the robber barons.

  3277. 1776 left wing and right wing has nothing to do with social issues. That’s a distortion of the political spectrum. Since it’s origins in the French National Assembly during the Revolution leftism denotes political stances for limited authorities and greater egalitarianism. And Right wing denotes support of greater authorities and hierarchies. Hence why the leftists were radical liberals and Democrats, and the rightists were monarchists, aristocracy, and the clergy. In the USA the American conservative is someone that believes in maintaining the Constitution, committed to liberal society and a democratic Republic. Whether you are socially progressive or conservative you aren’t left wing unless you believe in limited government and deconstructing concentrations of power. Both American parties are right wing, for explicit support of greater government in peoples lives, and support of corporate power consolidation or oligarchy. But modern Democrats are closer to the conservation of Status Quo and institutions ideals. The American conservative is a sociopolitical liberal, and a patriot that defends the values, ideals, and words of the American Constitution and traditional institutions that serve that purpose. Today in the USA the establishment Democrats are the equivalent of what used to be called moderate Republicans/conservatives, or Rockefeller Republicans. The American conservative is liberal not authoritarian. Today’s Republicans are authoritative religious fundamentalists and corporate oligarchs. They are regressive authoritarian not conservative liberal. Don’t take it from me take it from genuine conservatives. From conservative political scientists Norman Ornstein and Thomas Mann’s “Finding the Common Good in an Era of Dysfunctional Governance”: “The framers designed a constitutional system in which the government would play a vigorous role in securing the liberty and well-being of a large and diverse population. They built a political system around a number of key elements, including debate and deliberation, divided powers competing with one another, regular order in the legislative process, and avenues to limit and punish corruption. America in recent years has struggled to adhere to each of these principles, leading to a crisis of governability and legitimacy. The roots of this problem are twofold. The first is a serious mismatch between our political parties, which have become as polarized and vehemently adversarial as parliamentary parties, and a separation-of-powers governing system that makes it extremely difficult for majorities to act. The second is the asymmetric character of the polarization. The Republican Party has become a radical insurgency – ideologically extreme, scornful of facts and compromise, and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition. Securing the common good in the face of these developments will require structural changes but also an informed and strategically focused citizenry.”

They have no merits and actually are against American conservatism (ie: Constitutionalism, Adams Republicanism, Hamiltonian American School economics, Enlightenment liberalism). The social conservatives are full of reactionary anti-Enlightenment religious zealotry and stand opposed to the literal Enlightenment liberal foundations of the American Federal Republic. I’ve met real conservatives, none are Republican. The modern in fact Democrats are the political legacy of the Federalists, Whigs, and Lincoln Republicans.

  3283. Norberto Torres collective or governmental. That is directly or through government. True Marx and Engels argues workers taking over the State apparatus to establish a Socialist economy. But Anarchists cut through the bull and got straight to it eliminating government altogether. A worker’s controlled government is one way, and eventually transition towards Communism where the State withers away. Unfortunately when Marxist-Leninists took this route they maintained a State Capitalist and one party rule. Very Authoritarian, it sucked. Point being unlike Marx and Engels suggested there have been societies that just got rid of the State. It’s hard to have a Socialist system and a government rules by workers when it’s top-bottom instead of bottom-up. But yes generals consensus is Socialism must be through a government controlled by the workers, but seeing as Anarchists skipped that step I’d say it’s not the sole definition of Socialism. Regardless thank you. Though I see they elaborate and make the distinction of Statist and Libertarian Socialism so cool.

  3284.  @HarryS77  It’s not garbage at all. As a libertarian socialist I concur that welfare is only a necessity due to the corporate-monopolist economy we have. Social safety nets are a band aid, but long term we should be looking for alternatives that doesn’t tax the workers. Out of principle us libertarian socialists don’t agree with coerced taxation. The same way you may get good out of Welfare, the same way the State uses taxes for things you don’t want like adventurism, foreign conflicts, and corporate tax cuts. A proper UBI would be based on ground rent and land value taxation. Social programs is giving scraps to the workers that are robbed through taxation and the monopolists and land owners. Since after WW2 the majority of developed countries have been social democratic and what is the socialist analysis of those systems? That it empowers capital, does nothing to end the monopolies that surrounds us, and have stability at the expense of underdeveloped nations and their labor force. I really hope people start realizing that leftism is the goal of limiting government, and concentrated powers and hierarchies, if not outright abolishing them. The problem with trying to solve problems with public ownership, nationalization, and social programs is, apart from heavy taxation, it depends on the faith of good government. I can’t believe that is any good system where it depends on your type of politicians to remain in power. Whenever opposition gets the power they’ll chip away at those reforms or tweak them. A system based on the belief of good government, as if their ever were such a thing, is doomed to failure. There’s a reason the goal of socialism proper is replacing government institutions with social organization and worker owned industry. That said Yang’s UBI isn’t based on geoism, and wouldn’t be as effective. In fact it sucks.

  3288.  @scratchpenny  the problem is Americans not understanding. Anarchism is socialist because only a socialist socioeconomics pushes for a classless society without hierarchy. Be that communism or market socialism. Also in America unfortunately left wing is synonymous with more government, which isn’t historically accurate, and right wing with limited government which is also not completely accurate. Since the French Revolution the Left Wing means political stance of less authority, and Right Wing with more authority. In America this stems from believing leftism has manifested in institutional government reforms, and conservatism means preserving a more liberal democratic republic, and therefore a limited government system. Which is partly true, but neglects the fact that American conservatism also traditionally holds social attitudes that conserve hierarchies based in ethnicity, sex, gender, and social class. And while much leftist positions have been achieved through government reform, it’s done from the bottom-up to push government to a more liberal stance. I agree that the American left’s reliance on government reform is problematic which is why we advocate the left to return to its roots of free association, anti-statism, and limited authority. Many don’t realize the government or State is the source of our problems including the corporate hegemony. Therefore we push for libertarian communism and free market socialism. The cool thing about American right wingers is they preserve a spirit of liberalism, independence, and limited authority so classical liberals make good allies to leftist libertarian socialists. But the only thing that holds the American right from alliance is social tyrannical views of hierarchy such as patriarchy, homogeneity, religious fundamentalism etc... Which is why libertarians urge right wing classical liberals or minarchists to help us push for a cultural change and promote civic libertarianism instead of the social tyranny of traditional social conservatism. The problem isn’t people holding socially conservative views, only that they try to legislate and control their morality upon society. There’s also a problem in American conservatism that they believe capitalism constitutes a free market economy. It doesn’t. Liberal economics is one thing, capitalism is another. Under the capitalist system we have a corporate hegemony and monopolist economy that the leaders of conservatism and therefore many conservatives do not criticize or find problematic. They actually have the nerve to call our current system a free market economy. When it’s propped up the State and monopolies. This is why we need to push our right wing allies to accepting that capitalism isn’t about free markets, as a property owning class needs the State. So we remind them of our history and expose the modern capitalist system by teaching them about free market anti-capitalism (market socialism) and it’s American past. Individualist anarchism and mutualism exposes the grift and shows them that free markets too are of the socialist Left. So we promote the ideas of Josiah Warren, Benjamin Tucker, and Pierre J Proudhon.

  3289. Tell them markets and socialism are compatible and indeed the only way to true free markets and they’ll break down. As a Mutualist you understand. Their “free market” is the State granting capitalists privileges and avoiding actual free competition, and protecting monopolies. When free markets return the to the Left watch all the “free market” capitalists start advocating State intervention in the economy.

  3291.  @Gunner6000WarZ  government hasn’t solve anything. But socialism, as in libertarian socialism, has solved the labor problem of replacing wage labor with free labor associations and federalist industrial democracy.

As they did with Syndicalist Catalonia, or Free Territory Ukraine etc...

Lol It’s simple economics. The minority elite of the land owning slaver south wanted to keep their antiquated economic and social system no matter what. Hence why it lasted so long. The slave owning class were influential in government and held the wealth of the south. It took a civil war and force to put those pseudo aristocratic bitches in their place. Yes America is great in spite of itself. By that I mean that the American Republic are founded on beautiful principles and values that have been an ongoing struggle to fulfill. And that Americans have had to drag other Americans onto progress and freedom. The American Revolution is far from done. “The pretense that the "abolition of slavery" was either a motive or justification for the war, is a fraud of the same character with that of "maintaining the national honor." Who, but such usurpers, robbers, and murderers as they, ever established slavery? Or what government, except one resting upon the sword, like the one we now have, was ever capable of maintaining slavery? And why did these men abolish slavery? Not from any love of liberty in general—not as an act of justice to the black man himself, but only "as a war measure," and because they wanted his assistance, and that of his friends, in carrying on the war they had undertaken for maintaining and intensifying that political, commercial, and industrial slavery, to which they have subjected the great body of the people, both black and white.” “…there is no difference…between political and chattel slavery. The former, no less than the latter, denies a man’s ownership of himself and the products of his labor; and asserts that other men may own him, and dispose of him and his property, for their uses, and at their pleasure.”   Lysander Spooner

  3313. Libertarian Capitalist Well Feudalism in medievalist times simply meant the socioeconomic system and order of landowning elites serving in a hierarchy based on fealties. The peasants would work the land of the landowners (the aristocracy and nobility) and be protected and sheltered. The highest in this order would be the monarch as it is the form of government (monarchy) and the overlord of all. AnCap is a neofeudalist system as private actors would do business with one another and compete for market dominance. There would be sabotage, backstabbing, and cheating. Ultimately Corporatism will reign supreme. And all at the expense of the exploited workers who would work for meager wages while the private owners accumulate the wealth of the laborer’s productivity. It is a feudal system where wealth rules, a plutocracy. And there would be business transactions, mergers, acquisitions etc... Contractual obligations would only be protected by parties involved so anyone can back out. Don’t get me started on private courts, the problems with that speaks for itself. Also the employer-employee dynamic isn’t voluntary. You either work for a salary or starve to death.

The Nordic countries and other developed European nations enjoy Welfare and high standards of living. The idea is investing in the economy and society. It’s not as general in America as you make it seem either. Many places require you be employed to receive subsidies. The problem is America has failed it’s working class. They gutted labor unions, maintained stagnant wages, and are reluctant to offer even Welfare. Unless you actually help the workers they will not be the active labor force that’d be effective and prosperous. When even just Social Democracy (regulated Capitalism) becomes a bogeyman you have a problem. America values corporations and employers more than the workers. Shame since Lincoln warned of valuing Capital over labor itself. It’s a disgrace.

  3330. Greg Piskos idiot the working class actually works and does the productions. Owning capital doesn’t make you smart or have any notable skill. You just have the money and privilege to do so. Socialism has always been about worker’s ownership and classless society. The first American Anarchists advocated Socialist Markets where labor was valued instead of wage slavery where the capitalists extracts all the surplus and rewards from the workers. Funny how Socialism, when worker’s control the workplace and productivity is considered less democratic than capitalism where a privileged capitalist class leaches off the worker’s. The economy you described is Capitalism, where a few, the bourgeois class, took control of the means of production and reduced the majority to wage labor. Yet without Socialists only property owners could vote, and working conditions would be abhorrent. Capitalism is unsustainable without the State or intervention. You need it to protect property rights. Yet there have been Stateless Socialist communities where workers controlled industry. Stop spreading misinformation.

  3333. Alex Smith You have a clear broad brush to view liberals, in fact you sound like you think SJWs are the liberal left. Careful there are some who think college kids high on liberalism are a threat to American society, like they’re a bigger issue than healthcare, wars, war on drugs, income inequality etc... I wouldn’t want you to go full on anti-SJW and forget the real issues. I’m sure conservatives thought the same of the hippies and psychedelics of the 60’s. And you know you have your faith, but this is a secular nation. Pro-life sentiment is completely based on religious beliefs and trying to force others to adhere to those beliefs is theocratic. Therefore government should not interfere on such personal matters merely cause it conflicts with some folks religion. Your faith is your own, not the nations. As for weed, it’s about time it became a prominent legal industry that boosts economies. Tobacco capitalists lobbied hard to get rid of marijuana as a rival industry to their tobacco and cigarette markets. Ever since the government made a non harmful drug a “moral” issue as excuses to keep it illegal. Truth is it would be a sprawling industry that would give cigarettes competition and take market shares, and they can’t have that. As for gender identities, social constructs are generated from millennia of conventional beliefs and some feel the need to challenge them. Well as someone who supports individualism what do I care what someone sees themselves as, they can believe they are who or whatever they want to be, as long as they do not seek the harm or taking of rights of others. SJWs have growing to do, but they aren’t the leaders or even main group of the left.

As well as the profit motivation and production for commodities. Communists want no markets, money, or State in the end. The core principle of common/social/worker’s ownership of the means of production is shared among all Socialists, all are post-Capitalist and eliminate the Capitalist markets for Socialist markets or other economic models

At some point social issues got confused with political/governmental stances.

The most popular politician in the country who always speaks the issues and is consistent with the moderate stances of the nation shouldn’t have a problem. Neoliberals are what we used to call moderate Republicans. Eisenhower who supported the New Deal is further left than today’s Democrats on economic policy. Neoliberalism is the economic policy of known conservatives Ronald Reagan (US) and Margaret Thatcher (UK). These center-right Democrats serve their corporate donors not their constituents. Ultimately consistent voting of these right leaning politicians would only make it easier for far right leaders to grab power. People are tired of the oligarchy of corporate special interests they’re living in. For any true Social Liberal and left leaning ideologue the choice between center-right and further right political parties is a no brainer. They want an actual left leaning party as are the moderate parties of Europe.

  3352.  Derek Hitt  you don’t understand Fascism, no one here does apparently. Fascism isn’t just authoritarianism, there are many forms of authoritarianism, fascism being one of them. Actual Fascism is a political doctrine calling for a Corporate State. That doesn’t mean control by business corporations either. Corporatism is when there is an institutional infrastructure of collective bargaining in all aspects of social, economic, and political life. It’s a Nationalist Syndicalism where business owners and workers collectively bargain and form “corporations” to express their interests. Fascism is basically interests groups collectively bargaining at a national level with government oversight. It’s also nationalist and supports the nation-state as the ultimate organism that expresses collective will of the nation. Trump isn’t a Fascist, he’s a neoliberal authoritarian with right wing populist rhetoric. He’s a kakistocrat and a kleptocrat. He’s part of the ruling class, the property owners and wealthy capitalists. He’s part of the horrendous NYC elites for goodness sake. The wealthy elites agree with Trump’s standard Republican legislation of tax cuts, deregulation, and supply side economics. He’s one of them, the only thing they don’t like is his personality cult and how he causes social unrest which hurts their bottom line. If he behaved they’d like him more, but he causes economic instability so they’re going to push him out. As a free market anarchist, Trump is not an ally to liberty, he’s a problem and an ally to power concentration and the neoliberal world order. He’s just too stupid to be respected by his peers.

Marx agreed that this is possible in the more advanced or developed and industrialized countries. As Democratic Socialist parties became more incremental and moderate they were deemed social democrats and distinguished as they stopped pushing for anti-capitalism and revolutionary goals

  3372. Capitalism isn’t even synonymous to a market system. Markets existed long before capitalism. And were the ideals of classical liberals followed you’ll arrive at Market Socialism. No one was in favor of labor being exploited by capital. No liberal advocated for a society ruled by capital and wealth. Not a single liberal said they were for a system called capitalism, just free markets with limited government interference. That’s MARKETS, not capitalism, the primacy of capital. They opposed concentrations of political power, wealth, and privilege. Hence why the ideas of classical liberals gave birth to Socialism, which grew out of liberal thought despite the authoritarian strains that have dominated the movement since the Russian Revolution.

  3374. Ecléctico Iconoclasta Socialism is the transition towards Communism. I think you’re having a difficulty distinguishing Libertarian/Anarchist Socialism from Statist Marxist Socialism. Communism isn’t defined by State ownership. That’s Marxist-Leninism. The Paris Commune was far more Libertarian than Marxist-Leninist States and Marx applauded the efforts of the Parisian’s taking controls of the means of production. You’re defining Communism as solely Marxist-Leninist Statism. Socialism existed before Marx and it will exist after. The left wing Anarchist strands support worker’s collectives, councils, democratized workplaces and federal decentralized organization. Libertarianism is synonymous with Anarchist Socialism. No Anarchist supports Capitalism or the State. The strands of Socialism/Communism are Libertarian and Statist. There are Communists who oppose the State. Cold War propaganda may have people believing all Socialism is State ownership of industry, but that is a half ass definition that undermines the history of Socialism. Worker’s, social, community ownership all essentially mean the same thing. It’s Marxist-Leninists who believe in the party dictatorship on behalf of a ruling working class. But that is debatable as being true social ownership. Bakunin was an Anarchist that opposed Marxism. He advocated Socialism of the Libertarian variety. This century’s definition of Socialism is essentially government subsidies, welfare, and nationalization. This does not address Socialism’s focus on class struggle, opposition to private property, wage labor, classless society, and social ownership such as in worker coops, and post-Capitalism. At some point State Capitalism became synonymous with Socialism, which even Lenin would disagree with. This assault on language and terminology was something George Orwell warned about. Socialism and Communism has been stripped of true clear meaning as people have described anything they oppose as Socialist or Communist. Ultimately Socialism is a post-Capitalist socioeconomic system in which the means of production are socially owned by workers as opposed to private ownership. And Communism is a Stateless, moneyless, and classless socioeconomic organization or society, in which property and the means are commonly or collectively owned by the workers.

Like the Fed coercing people to integrate when they weren’t ready or wanted to. He did support black suffrage and even gay rights.

But I know there is a virus and it’s potentially deadly if contaminated. So better safe than sorry and stay safe. But the reason I know it’s not nothing is because in capitalist States, the ruling class are the capitalists, the top brass of capital owners especially. Seeing as several corporations had to shut down and stop production I’d say the virus is pretty serious as they would not willingly shut down and lose money if they can help it. That being said there are other corporations that are making more money than ever like Amazon. It is the perfect opportunity for them to grab more market power and put smaller businesses out. So it’s mixed. Due to it being global and there being international reactions to the pandemic I’d say stay safe, better than being sorry, and whatever the reality which the professionals at least tell us is to be taken serious, trust yourselves to do right by you and your community. Do not strain the struggling economy, and do not endanger others with stupidity knowing the basics of pandemic measures to be taken.

  3392. Objective Viewer will you hear yourself? “Empire” like that has ever been a progressive form of State. Actually Libertarian Anarchist communes have existed and they succeeded in forming socialist societies free of government and institutions of hierarchies and coercion. Such as the Paris Commune, Revolutionary Catalonia, Rojava, Free Territory Ukraine etc... These societies functioned in decentralized free associations in federal organization. They abolished the State, and any coercive agents. They implemented Socialist economies (worker’s ownership of the means of production) and lived in solidarity and general happiness. The only reason they aren’t around is cause Capitalist interests and the old governments won the wars ultimately where they had been established. Take Anarcho-Syndicalist Catalonia for example. The author George Orwell immortalized them in his “Homage to Catalonia.” It was the most liberated society he ever witnessed, he was enamored with the Anarchists, he fought along side them against Fascist Franco, and was a staunch Democratic Socialist ever since. You see Libertarianism (Anarchism, Socialism, and Communism) are the next step in Classical Liberal values of liberty and equality. All innovations and advancements aren’t driven by individual greed or profit. They are driven by passion for one’s work and knack for doing what they love. By allowing resources to the benefit of the worker and communities. Capitalism is a grotesque system where due to commodity production and profit motivation while there is enough produce to end world hunger or shelter the homeless it is not so. Individual actors would not do anything were it not incentivized by individual profit. “Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights. [Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. Production is carried on for profit, not for use. There is no provision that all those able and willing to work will always be in a position to find employment; an “army of unemployed” almost always exists. The worker is constantly in fear of losing his job. Since unemployed and poorly paid workers do not provide a profitable market, the production of consumers’ goods is restricted, and great hardship is the consequence. Technological progress frequently results in more unemployment rather than in an easing of the burden of work for all. The profit motive, in conjunction with competition among capitalists, is responsible for an instability in the accumulation and utilization of capital which leads to increasingly severe depressions. Unlimited competition leads to a huge waste of labor, and to that crippling of the social consciousness of individuals which I mentioned before.” - Albert Einstein

  3414. Jamie McGuinness I find paying taxes for my society far more agreeable than wasting it on the military industrial complex agenda and tax cuts for 1% or corporate welfare. Welfarism is humane for the lesser classes and having social welfare in a capitalist system is pretty much one of the best systems. Capitalism or unregulated Laissez-faire ultimately widens the income inequality and corporate greed takes over policing, which is when social revolution looks appealing to the less fortunate, and people should do what they can to prevent those conditions. In a republic you’d think representatives will do the will of the public not just the wealthiest class. I understand Libertarians see taxation as a slaver’s practice but my inner humanitarian finds investing for the betterment of society a good thing. Better education, health, infrastructure can only help the nation socio-economically. If my taxes can help cure fellow humans, educate them for the service-based economy, build wonderful projects domestically I would find that just fine.

Also the liberation of the underdeveloped world from corporate imperialism. Literally why so many global south nations are socialist. Take it from George Orwell “Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.” George Orwell, “Why I write” p. 394 “And the only regime which, in the long run, will dare to permit freedom of speech is a socialist regime. If Fascism triumphs I am finished as a writer — that is to say, finished in my only effective capacity. That of itself would be a sufficient reason for joining a socialist party.” – George Orwell, “Why I Joined the Independent Labour Party”

  3424. michael lovullo no Michael. Individuals form free associations and they are a thorn on the side of the State and collectivists when they feel like it. Anarchism is also known as libertarian socialism. It’s a great revolutionary history of you care to learn about it. The State obviously keeps it buried and in real doublespeak likes to make people believe socialism is just Marxist-Leninist Statism so stay away from it. Never mind the history of libertarian socialism and leftist literature and revolutions

  3429. As a Left-Libertarian there are ways in which our ideals overlap on specific issues with Right-Libertarians. Open sourced software is definitely great. But Musk is a capitalist with a private agenda. I’m sure in some ways the platform will be more libertarian, but as David here says, a public square is a public entity, not a private company controlled by an individual. This is more like public meetings at someone’s private home. It can be accessible, but only on the whims of the private owner. I wonder what the Pirate Parties think about this.

  3430. The original right wing economic position was the American System. Not economic populism, but economic nationalism. Hamiltonian economics that protected American manufacturing through tariffs (protectionism), government infrastructure programs and maintenance, investment in sciences and technological advancement. To be fair this was the position of the Federalists, Whigs, and Lincoln Republicans. It was seen as elitist as it was advocated by Northern industrialists, bankers, and early capitalists. The South was more economically agrarian, and at the time slavery. The American System was against Free Trade and about strengthening the American national economy. Perhaps conservatives may take what works of that in a modern industrialized economy and context.

But here in America you complain about it and KNOW if they try to pay Americans shit wages you wouldn’t have it. Stop defending greed and avarice dipshit. You’re basically saying it’s okay for them to not want to pay workers for even bare minimum because it means they won’t look elsewhere to pay workers garbage so they’ll have more money. How about you criticize them instead for being greedy assholes that don’t want to pay workers more cause their god is money, and they have to accumulate as much as of it as they grotesquely can.

  3432. Daniel Austrian economics is economic retardation. The neoliberal age inspired by those shmucks is hated by everyone except the rich. The wealth inequality is ever widening and as you can see around the globe people are looking to change that world order. Austrian and Chicago School were the elites wet dream. They have you believing a system of inequality, coercion, and hierarchy has anything to do with freedom. No wonder the Capitalists historically allied with Fascists, you morons who defend the wealthy make it too easy. There is enough resource in the world to end world hunger and shelter the homeless, yet under an economy motivated by self interest and profit you see more disparities, poverty, and social ills. "I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child. The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow-men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society." - Albert Einstein

  3448. @DODO MCGuy Fascists were reactionary anti-enlightenment which brought liberalism and socialism. Fascists were nationalists and the pseudo science they bought into was still the result of imperialist propaganda. Nazis in particular pushed the pseudo science of racism and race to push their expanding agenda. Fascism supported the capitalist class and brought corporations into the fold. The othering of Jews and minority were the result of indoctrination into imperialist pseudoscience about race. Race is now known to be a social construct with no basis in biology and science.

  3449. @DODO MCGuy I mean Hegel inspired socialists as much as fascists, but socialists went the materialist route, fascists the idealist route. If you mean that the pursuit of racial science and eugenics at the time were expressions of scientific rationalism you’d be right and wrong. Because while the pursuit of science is an enlightenment facet, the social agendas of states weren’t. Racial “science” was used to justify racism, but it didn’t mean that it called for extermination of races, that was a Statist and social agenda. Fascist philosophy and literature made clear they opposed the Enlightenment, and wanted rationalism to take a seat behind idealism. Hence the racial fascist ideologies based in ideals on race and eugenics, and using faulty and terrifying scientific experiments to “prove” an already believed notion.

  3450.  @uncomfortabletruth3831  as a matter of fact not all socialist schools rationalize anti-market sentiments. In fact the most radical free market advocates I know were libertarian socialists. If you’re interested in the US there was an Individualist Anarchist school which advocated stateless free markets, and to form a more rational and scientific economy based on economic and social science studies. Benjamin Tucker is the big name of this movement among others. He said: “The economic principles of Modern Socialism are a logical deduction from the principle laid down by Adam Smith in the early chapters of his “Wealth of Nations,” – namely, that labor is the true measure of price. But Adam Smith, after stating this principle most clearly and concisely, immediately abandoned all further consideration of it to devote himself to showing what actually does measure price, and how, therefore, wealth is at present distributed. Since his day nearly all the political economists have followed his example by confining their function to the description of society as it is, in its industrial and commercial phases. Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be. Half a century or more after Smith enunciated the principle above stated, Socialism picked it up where he had dropped it, and in following it to its logical conclusions, made it the basis of a new economic philosophy.” And the first philosopher to identify as an Anarchist said this of Socialism: “Under the law of association, transmission of wealth does not apply to the instruments of labour, so cannot become a cause of inequality. [...] We are socialists [...] under universal association, ownership of the land and of the instruments of labour is social ownership. [...] We want the mines, canals, railways handed over to democratically organised workers' associations. [...] We want these associations to be models for agriculture, industry and trade, the pioneering core of that vast federation of companies and societies, joined together in the common bond of the democratic and social Republic.” - Proudhon Imagine Socialism if you will as a technocracy, an industrial republic instead of government, where worker’s self-management and economic associations form social relations, and the State have been abolished. If you’re curious of what such a society may look like I recommend George Orwell’s “Homage to Catalonia” if you can get a copy of it. It’s his account of experience in Revolutionary Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War. Anarchist-Syndicalism was the predominant movement of Socialism at the time rivaling Marxism. I’d also recommend a glance on the Wikipedia page on Syndicalist or Revolutionary Catalonia. Mahknoschivna might also be of interest. Or if you’re looking for more modern examples the EZLN (Zapatistas) in Mexico or Rojava in Syria are modern examples of libertarian/anarchist social revolutions going on now.

American revolutionaries were the Left of their time, and they were liberal republicans, for all their flaws. Thomas Paine remains influential to radical leftist movements. Right wingers don’t want rebellion, they only rebel when society and the world is progressing and they’re getting left behind. Do not forget the history of the Left. We change the world, we want progress, we rebel against conservative status quo and traditional hierarchies.

Not so much now but that is the fault of our government and these monopolist tyrants. In order for an actual free market to be we have to fight against these monopolies, and government corruption. I understand the plight of these immigrants and they are desperate for relief, huddled masses yearning to be free. It is for us to fix our situation so that immigrants like these will truly be in a free world. You see the liberal future is one of loose and open borders, which will have no strains on our economy once we get the monopolies and corruption out. The only reason immigration seems scary (apart from xenophobia and certainly racism on the part of some) is because our shit economy is fucked. But this isn’t because of the poor and powerless, it is because of the rich and powerful, the politicians, the Trumps, the Clintons, the Obamas, the Bushs etc… and the corporate conglomerates. I desire nothing more than these people let in and welcome them to our republic. Unfortunately it is a republic in crisis thanks to illiberal parties, and corrupt elite. These thieves can fuck right off they’ve stolen more from me than any immigrants ever have. I have more in common with immigrants than I do assholes. They are welcomed, the elites have to be put in their place or they can get out.

What you don’t understand is there isn’t much difference between you conservatives and modern liberals except the priorities. In America conservatives take your taxes to fund unnecessary wars, tax cuts for the wealthiest, give corporate welfare and could care less about the workers. Democrats are no different but they at least don’t want to cut the few help people can help. I mean Amazon workers were working full time and could still qualify for and needed government subsidies, until Bernie Sanders made Amazon pay workers a $ 15 min wage. So who’s for the workers? Oh yeah the progressive liberals that are more interested in the Nordic model and some form of Social Democracy. Obama was a center-right neoliberal, he even called himself a moderate Republican cause that’s what corporate neoliberal Democrats are. They have the same ideas moderate Republicans had not so long ago. They’re centrists and center right politicians. Social safety nets are needed cause it puts a band aid on the Capitalist system before it can collapse in on itself. Keeps blaming the poor and immigrants instead of the wealthy elites that have a status quo with politicians to maintain wealth and power among them. Or the rampant corporatism we’re witnessing. But no it’s not the wealthy corporations and corrupted politicians that are the problem, it’s the poor immigrants looking for better prospects from the hellhole they come from that we made with our interventions and destabilizing countries and toppling their democratically elected leaders in the name of “American interests” aka corporate agendas.

  3482.  @sarahnerd1950  leftists look at “western civilization” and see a talking point of ethno-nationalists and racial supremacists. Because the far right it as meaning “European” or “white” civilization. Protecting “western civilization” were the exact words of Nazis to justify their anti-semifinal and racialist fascism. Forgive the world for being skeptical of it’s use considering it’s usage. It ironic that “leftism” is about “destroying western civilization.” Western civilization is a collection of mixed ideals, and cultures from Mediterranean, to Egyptian, to Near Eastern, to African, and indigenous Americas etc... And to that point Marxism (which I’m not by the way), socialism, anarchism all grew out of Western Philosophy. Marx was a student of Hegel, inspired by enlightenment thinkers and philosophies expanding the cult of rationalism and scientific reasoning. Classical radical liberals were secular, anti-clerical, and pushed reason and materialism over religious spiritual tyranny of the mind. Marxist’s historical materialism was only an expansion of such thought. Thomas Paine the father of liberal Republicanism was an ardent anti-cleric and pursued liberty and equality all he went. The motive and pattern of “western civilization” is striving for greater freedom and egalitarian societies. No wonder liberals were inspired by the indigenous tribes they came to encounter, their system of no rigid hierarchy and near governmentless societies living harmoniously without tyranny. The history of western civilization since the Greeks was a focus on the individual on the basis of society. Anarchy follows, mankind shall not be freed until, as egoist Max Stirner put it, we are free of “spooks” such as statism, nationalism, private property, borders, nation-states and every other imaginary social constructs made to limit the ego/the individual to conform to social expectations and beliefs. As egoist anarchist Max Stirner and libertarian socialist Proudhon put it: “Political liberty,” what are we to understand by that? Perhaps the individual’s independence of the State and its laws? No; on the contrary, the individual’s subjection in the State and to the State’s laws... Political liberty means that the polis, the State, is free; freedom of religion that religion is free, as freedom of conscience signifies that conscience is free; not, therefore, that I am free from the State, from religion, from conscience, or that I am rid of them. It does not mean my liberty, but the liberty of a power that rules and subjugates me; it means that one of my despots, like State, religion, conscience, is free. State, religion, conscience, these despots, make me a slave, and their liberty is my slavery.” — Max Stirner "Capital" [...] in the political field is analogous to "government". [...] The economic idea of capitalism, the politics of government or of authority, and the theological idea of the Church are three identical ideas, linked in various ways. To attack one of them is equivalent to attacking all of them. [...] What capital does to labour, and the State to liberty, the Church does to the spirit. This trinity of absolutism is as baneful in practice as it is in philosophy. The most effective means for oppressing the people would be simultaneously to enslave its body, its will and its reason.” — Pierre J Proudhon

Sociocultural change is about as authoritarian as when in the 60s people were against racial segregation and pushed for a more egalitarian society expanding civil rights. The progress of culture isn’t authoritarianism. Government restrictions are. The limits on individuality and social restrictions on individual autonomy are. Which is the core of liberal (classical) philosophy. This is just giving reactionary views validity as if they are on equal footing. Also no discussion on the appropriation of “woke” from black vernacular. Conservatives just took a black cultural perspective and are twisting it for reactionary purposes.

Through the Chicago philosophy they promoted tax cuts, deregulation, free trade etc... Not completely neoliberal as Friedman would have advised against corporate subsidies and such corporate welfare. Thatcher would also adopt neoliberal economic doctrine in the UK and so neoliberals became the dominate economic philosophy promulgated by political, economic, and educational institutions.

In fact it seems Marx had no problem with a liberal worker’s democracy or republic as seen with his impressions of the Paris Commune. But at all times whether liberal or not the working class must maintain an authoritarian boot on the advocates of capitalism and exploiters of labor.

  3504. Silverdeathgamer290 Before we can say whether an anarchist future is possible, we should start by saying what exactly anarchism is. Emma Goldman, the great American anarchist, defined it in 1910 as “the philosophy of a new social order based on liberty unrestricted by man-made law.” Anarchists believe that all forms of government—be it a liberal democracy or a socialist state—are based on violence and coercion. To sum it up: government equals tyranny. Many of you might agree with that basic idea that state power is necessarily coercive, yet wonder if there really is an alternative. Perhaps we must suffer some degree of tyranny at the hands of government in order to guarantee certain public goods, like education, health care, and infrastructure. And don’t we need the state to ensure law and order? Who would protect us, if we didn’t have police and a judicial system? In light of the many stories in the news these days about police racism and brutality, and the lack of accountability for such abuses of power, some of you are probably scoffing at the thought that police are there to protect and serve. And given the astounding number of people incarcerated in US prisons, many of which are run by private companies for profit, it’s a little difficult to take seriously the idea that the criminal justice system is working for the good of (all) the people. But we should be careful not to damn all government over the particular failures of one. There may be deep injustices in the US criminal justice system, but perhaps those are best tackled by reform, not by abolishing state power completely. Let’s set aside criminal justice for a moment and think about civil justice. Without the coercive power of the state, how do we enforce agreements and protect people’s legitimate interests? For example, let’s say you and I make an agreement with one another, and I pay you to do a particular job, like painting my house. Let’s say I pay you the full amount, but you rip me off by not completing the job. Under an anarchist social order, how can I protect my interests when there can be no legal sanctions or deterrents? What kind of recourse would I have, if there are no laws and no state authority to enforce them? What's to stop everyone from cheating one another? Under any social order, be it liberal democracy or anarchy, cheating customers just seems like a bad business model. You would never get repeat business and surely word would spread about your shady practices, and you’d have difficulty building your livelihood in this way. Yet, despite this, people do cheat one another all the time. Obviously, then, our current system does not prevent that from happening, so the mere existence of the state is not itself a deterrent for cheaters. Moreover, you’d have to have a very dim (and, I’d say, unrealistic) view of humanity if you think an honest, hard-working person would suddenly become a scoundrel and a thief because the state is not controlling everything anymore. Moreover, an anarchist might argue, if people had more autonomy—if they were able to decide for themselves what kind of lives they wanted to lead, what kind of work they wanted to do, and how to spend their time—maybe then there would actually be less cheating. Is anarchy the only way to give everyone greater autonomy in their lives? The anarchist thinks so—the mere existence of the state and its arbitrary coercive power undermines personal autonomy because we never explicitly consented to live under its authority. Sure, some of us get to vote for representatives at different levels of government from federal to state and local, but once elected, these so-called “representatives” make their own decisions that may or may not be what their constituents want or need. And so often the choice we are given is between Tweedledum or Tweedledee, with one just about as bad as the other. It’s hard to see how that is that anything but arbitrary. While I find this line of thought persuasive, again, I think it’s important to distinguish between how things happen to go in the US, and how things must go in any liberal democracy. The two certainly come apart, which begs the question: what’s the best way to tackle these problems—reform the state or abolish it? For example, if the US had a multi-party system elected by proportional representation, like they do Denmark (which is often touted as the best example of a functioning liberal democracy), would this give us the kind of personal autonomy the anarchist wants? Or, do even the Danes need to be freed from the tyranny of the state? In the end, it all comes down to one issue. Do we give up some of our autonomy because we get some things that only the state can provide? The anarchist might say we suffer from a lack of imagination, that we can achieve many great things working together without any hierarchical coercive structures in place. The Church and Aristocrats also spoke ill of Liberalism. Decried it as radical nonsense that wasn’t plausible. Each progress towards liberation has been treated by the establishment as fantastical and impossible. That won’t stop humanity from seeking more liberty, equality, and solidarity.

  3505. Kathalijne Brinnosch I bet. Europeans have had Social Liberal and Social Democratic governing for decades. In America there hasn’t been such government since Eisenhower or so. New Deal Democrats were replaced by moderate right neoliberals and the conservatives moved further right. Americans have had the misfortune of being governed by two right pro-Corporations parties in favor of laissez faire Capitalism over it’s working class and even Social Welfare. We must look insane to nations who have enjoyed more Social Liberal and Democratic policy, even from their conservative factions. Governments that actually are concerned somewhat about the social welfare. At least you don’t leave healthcare to profit.

  3507. Kathalijne Brinnosch truth is wherever Capitalism exists you’ll find the wealthy and ruling elites working together maintaining status quo of wealth and power. They undermine all liberal and democratic institutions and principles. It’s an oligarchic plutocracy of socioeconomic elites and State officials and bureaucrats. America doesn’t have single payer healthcare system. Obamacare (Affordable Healthcare Act) was made by a right wing conservative think tank working for Mitt Romney. It is not at all like the healthcare in European or Canadian systems. Healthcare is still largely for profit. In the Far Left we understand it as Rich vs Underprivileged. So we seek solidarity among the working class.

Fascists make capital serve the State. They were anti-liberal capitalism. Prager U wants liberal capitalism and a corporate oligarchy.

  3518. Celestial Morning Light Great comment explaining. Arguably left libertarianism is an extension of Liberal principles as well. Anarchists, Socialists, and Communists continue the goals of dismantling concentrated power. Even in Classical Liberalism the individual isn’t completely alienated from larger society. There was the belief that individualism is important to the collective, but not necessarily one takes precedence. Especially economically Liberalism went a Capitalist route which proved to be another oppressive force. The Far Left sees economic endeavor as more a collective task. The Far Left is Libertarianism in it’s original sense, Anarchists. Liberalism was about individual liberty and limited government, and economically Capitalism and Market was seen as the ideal economy for a liberal society. But the critics who saw Capitalism was the successor to oligarchic and feudal powers founded upon Capitalism’s decay Socialism, a socioeconomic system where the means of production are socially owned instead of Capitalists accumulating wealth in a few creating class disparities and inequality. Thus Anarchists called themselves Libertarians to avoid censorship and getting the Socialist message out. Left wing libertarianism of no government and post-Capitalist economic organization. This is where I lie on the political spectrum, Libertarian Socialism (Anarchism)

Orwell was against all authoritarianism, but supported socialism his entire career. “And the only regime which, in the long run, will dare to permit freedom of speech is a socialist regime. If Fascism triumphs I am finished as a writer — that is to say, finished in my only effective capacity. That of itself would be a sufficient reason for joining a socialist party.” – George Orwell, “Why I Joined the Independent Labour Party”

  3550. *****   And in the 20th century God, Most High, said "let there be Music". And the music became incarnate, and these four mighty individuals were giving mastery over each realm of the craft respectively.   The 'Golden God' was given power over the fires of the stars, light, and given the voice of the gods, whose wails could enamor and seduce even the Devils. His wails shall be heard till the end times, till that godly essence returns to it's source. And the 'Golden Lion' of Albion was given grace and a mane of golden locks.   'The Wizard' was given wisdom in the magical arts and powers over thunder and lightning. He used his white magic to power his string instruments to perform the most beautiful and godly of melodies. Together with 'the Lion', 'the Mage Sage' would create poetry to soothe the people's souls, convey the emotions that protrude over man, and part the wisdom of the gods.   And 'the Beast' with the power of strength, whom the ancients called 'Bonzo', would have control over the earth, creating quakes that shake the very foundations of Earth. It is said that he could at will destroy entire cities for his stomps shook the very ground. And his power, precision, and speed are unequaled to this day. With his groove, 'the earth Shatterer', managed the adoration of the peoples.   The base of this godly group, who like foundations held this group together was a being of great wealth, wisdom, creativeness, and solitariness. The aristocrat would lead a quiet life, preferring to remain in his abode, working on his ingenious inventions and compositions. Recognized as the most intelligent man in the world in the art of music, 'the genius' was an instrumental Renaissance man with mastery over all manner of instruments. In the like of such individuals as Da Vinci, Nostradamus, and Cayce. Endowed with wisdom, psychical, and prophetic gifts, he shared his wisdoms with man.   These musical gods, who chose to convey the godly message through the Rock genre, were sent by the Heavenly Father, to be a beacon to mankind, a reminder of the beauty, power, and creative capabilities of God's children when one with the Holy Spirit.

Far as character goes Frieza is the most developed and nastiest. I agree that Frieza is number one. Broly not even top 5. He lacks a certain quality. I get that as the true SSJ (non canon) he symbolizes the overall personality of his race. But his story was poorly developed. He was born left for dead and I don't even understand how a saiyan would survive in space. His character wasn't appealing at all. His charisma comes from his bloodlust, muscles, rage and tendacy to fight berserk. He is very similar to Bojack.

  3569. Mr. Mountain Capitalists are property owners and bosses. Not everyone is a Capitalist. Capitalism is not equivalent to a market economy either. It is a mode of production that’s exists within a market economy. One fundamentally opposed to what Classical Liberals actually had in mind.
    2
  3570. Mr. Mountain that’s not capitalism. He’s not owning a factor of production and employing anyone, he’s working for himself. When the United States was shifting towards industrial Capitalism before and during the Civil War a Libertarian Socialist movement occurred. Lead by Benjamin Tucker these Individualist Anarchists fought against the encroachment of wage slavery. They understood Capitalism is not the free market Classical Liberals advocated and be harmful to freedom the laborers enjoyed. Influenced by the Mutualism of Pierre Joseph-Proudhon they advocated actual freed markets. Such as property ownership based on usufruct and actual usage. The elimination of privileged forms of profits, landownership, and usury. The Anarchists pushed for a Mutual Banking of little to no interest that the worker’s may always have Capital to participate in the free market. Worker’s would have their full value of labor. Unfortunately the spread of industrial Capitalism hastened under The Civil War and they understood they couldn’t break the privileged Capitalists concentration of wealth by their means. Tucker’s was a artisanal Socialism and post-industrialization it was no longer viable. Hence some became Anarcho-Communists or moved towards more insurrectionary and revolutionary methods. Capitalism involves State favor and privilege. Capitalists have the privilege to own the factors of production and be protected by authorities to maintain the working class. It’s ironic that Lincoln did away with chattel slavery but allowed for the system that would subjugate the majority of Americans to capitalists and concentrations of wealth and privilege.

  3577. Neilson Truong the hell are you talking about? Despite American capitalist attempts to say otherwise libertarianism was always the anarchist branch of socialism. Libertarian and anarchist are synonymous. Anarchists used libertarian more prominently when they were censored for anarchy. One of the earliest uses of the term libertarian is credited to the anarchist communist Joesph DeJacques. Any case you just agreed with what I said. That the only real question to abortion is when is a nascent life developed enough to have rights of their own.
    2
  3578. Susan Bones there is a huge misconception that socialism is anti/markets. No it’s anti-capitalism. Historically socialism developed from classical radical liberalism. Adam Smith advocated for free markets. His successor David Ricardo expanded on the labor theory of value. John Stuart Mill advocated worker cooperatives as the only way for a free society to organize industry. And was against standard wage labor. Thomas Hodgskin would also write works like “Labor Defended Against the Claims of Capital.” Classical liberals were precursory to socialist economics. You should look up the Free Market Anarchists also called Individualist Anarchists. An American strain of Proudhon Mutualism, they are fellow libertarian socialists and perhaps the most radical school of market socialism. Evidently you can be socialist and support free markets. In fact to socialists free markets, truly free markets not capitalism, inevitably lead to a socialist socioeconomics. Or as Individualist Free Market Anarchist Benjamin Tucker put it: “ The economic principles of Modern Socialism are a logical deduction from the principle laid down by Adam Smith in the early chapters of his Wealth of Nations,—namely, that labor is the true measure of price. But Adam Smith, after stating this principle most clearly and concisely, immediately abandoned all further consideration of it to devote himself to showing what actually does measure price, and how, therefore, wealth is at present distributed. Since his day nearly all the political economists have followed his example by confining their function to the description of society as it is, in its industrial and commercial phases. Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be. Half a century or more after Smith enunciated the principle above stated, Socialism picked it up where he had dropped it, and in following it to its logical conclusions, made it the basis of a new economic philosophy.”
    2
  3579. Neilson Truong yeah you realize that government intervention in economics on behalf of the property owners is what socialists call “capitalism” right? The system we’ve been raging against since the mid-19th century. It’s in the name Capital-ism, the ideology of the property owners. It is the Statist system anarchists and other socialists would like to abolish for either communism (stateless and classless society where the city/township is the only matter of politics and the workers own industry) or market socialism (socialist organization with market distribution system). We don’t like capitalism because it’s statist and sustains itself via an underclass of labor to exploit and concentrations of monopolist private powers. Hence why libertarian socialists aka anarchists are strictly anti-statist, anti-government. Under truly free markets socialism reigns. As Free Market Anarchist Benjamin Tucker said : “The economic principles of Modern Socialism are a logical deduction from the principle laid down by Adam Smith in the early chapters of his Wealth of Nations,—namely, that labor is the true measure of price. But Adam Smith, after stating this principle most clearly and concisely, immediately abandoned all further consideration of it to devote himself to showing what actually does measure price, and how, therefore, wealth is at present distributed. Since his day nearly all the political economists have followed his example by confining their function to the description of society as it is, in its industrial and commercial phases.

  3580. Sheepy2055 the neoliberal era you live in and is hated was implemented by Reagan and Thatcher inspired by Milton Friedman. As was Pinochet’s dictatorship. Socialism is worker’s ownership of the means of production, the democratization of the workplace. The Libertarian Socialism of Anarchists is about a free society of free individuals. Individualist Anarchists support Anarcho-Communism as a society that would be good for individual capabilities and livelihood. Please stop spewing what you know nothing about. Not all Socialism is characterized by Statism and Marxist-Leninism. It existed before and after Karl Marx. The left libertarianism does not roll with the authoritarianism of Marxists. You can’t be libertarian and for capitalism as it is synonymous with anti-authority and anti-capitalism.

  3581. Հովհաննես Այվազովսկի too bad it’s about solidarity among workers. In libertarian societies people don’t give a fuck about race, gender, or all that archaic BS. It’s a society of workers, people living in horizontal organization and equal standing. There is no minority to discriminate against. A free society of free individuals. Democracy is a collective effort, and individuals are encouraged to be free thinkers not tribalists. The Anarchist societies that have been weren’t mob rules, but libertarian worker’s paradise in a manner of speaking. I recommend Orwell’s “Homage to Catalonia” to get a clue.

And to be frank I'm not that far left, I'm just a Social Democrat that feels a kindred spirit with Socialists. I myself am not ready to depart from capitalism altogether, and the idea of such self reliance is scary when it comes to Socialism. But I recognize that it's actually an ideology of freedom, of the worker, of an alternative to Capitalism. Maybe one day we'll get to actual Socialism, as automation takes jobs and the private ownership becomes a coercive power to those that are not, but I'm moderate relatively in my ideology and stance. However I am studious of left-wing ideology.

Biden is faaaaaar from ideal and yet he’s been better for labor, with his screwing over the railroad workers and lackluster policies, than any other Prez since the New Deal Dems. With the NLRB making it easier to unionize, fully supporting the UAW demands, and bringing back hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs back. It is what it is, it’s a low bar, but it’s something. We can do much better though, we must demand better.

  3594.  @millabasset1710  the leftists position is decentralized bottom-up federation. 50 states isn’t a problem, power should always be broken down to the local level and build up. Subsidiarity and federalism. I must disagree, the national government has never been an ally to minorities, the only time they reform is when a grass roots movement moves them. Though if there’s an amendment then that’s different. Centralized authority isn’t the beacon of hope you think it is. A proper federation should be United in diversity.

  3600. Matt Soriano the CCP is definitely the most Orwellian government out there. Communists my ass. And the USA isn’t falling behind. There is no Federalism, the USA functions officially as a Unitary State, and the executive has too many powers. The NSA, military-industrial complex and plutocratic oligarchy takeover of Congress, and the courts. The only reason it’s not as authoritative as the CCP is because the USA still holds liberal capitalist values which means many selfish individual interests conflicting among the elites, but they have a sense of class solidarity.

  3607. Yt Account I'm saying the First Men that got turned to the Night King was a distant relative, a proto-Stark, if you will. It's not that hard to establish, this is what Bran's for, exposition. The show runners said we will learn more about the Others and the Wall this season or the next one. I know Brandon the Builder established House Stark after the Others came to be, but as I said the show writers mesh storylines. In the show we've never heard of a Lord Commander that declared himself the Night's King. They apparently wanted a leader for the White Walkers and decided it would be cool to give him the Night King name. Not saying he was turned after the Others came to be and he was turned when he was a Lord Commander, but in the show it could be that the guy they turned into the first White Walker was a proto-Stark before Brandon established the noble/royal House. It would be a cool reveal and seems plausible in the tv show. Where as in the books the Others don't have a leader that we know of.

  3619.  @sciencecompliance235  it’s a liberalism issue. The mind is the individuality, the free cognizant individual. Therefore by respecting individual liberty we must go with the autonomy of the mind. Because science allows us to advance the human biology with our understanding and advancements. The pursuit of happiness is fundamentally important. But I would rather trust the medical professionals and actual trans people to know what’s best for them. I hear you about children being confused during puberty, but that is just life, trust that they know what make them feel good and content. I’m tired of people treating the youth as idiots, when they’re understanding enough of themselves to know what makes them feel happy and content. Their future belongs not to society, or to their parents, but to themselves. It’s a matter of autonomy, individual liberty, and further development of our knowledge of science and sociology.

Such as fearing a conservative Supreme Court will undo won progress, the consolidation of executive powers, and military adventurism etc… We shouldn’t be a Unitary State. The whole point of the Federal Constitution is that if any State were not following it, they should be kicked out of the Union, or those illiberal policies struck down. But at some point the Left has to reconcile that decentralization and federalism is the historical left wing position

Welfare it self was a conservative tool to keep workers away from Socialist movements, Otto von Bismarck is credited with finding the first modern Welfare State and he did it to protect capitalists interests not to care for the workers. In general I agree however that Social Democracy is far better a system then the plutocracy we live in undermining democracy.

  3649. stefan vukovic considering Europeans are far less religious and have moral principles I’d say it’s a non issue for religion to outright die. Matter of fact as a Libertarian Socialist, Religious Socialism is something we support. Anyone is free to practice religion, and we push for the actual principles most religions push such as brotherhood, generosity, peace, love etc... If people were to actually practice what they believe they’d live in Communist communes where work, piety, and solidarity for fellow humans were the way of life. Like the earliest Christian sects, who were proto-Communists. You see the left has room for religion, so long as it’s not hypocritical and coercive. What passes for evangelism today is a smokescreen for old Southern Strategy and white cultural hegemony of bigoted ideals.

The Mind Flayer is a being so ancient it doesn’t even remember it’s own origins or home. It conquers dimensions. We don’t know if this is the case with the Mind Flayer in the show, but they certainly tease that it’s an ancient being of unknown origins. The dimension of the Upside Down may not be Mind Flayer’s original world. As as seen throughout the series now that it knows of our world it wants to come here and conquer it. Essentially turning our world into another Upside Down.

  3670.  @TekkaSage  time is paused at 1983 when 11 contacted the Demogorgon. That doesn’t coincide with Henry being thrown into the Upside Down in 1979. Though it may have to do with him hating time, he’s not the king of the Upside Down. He’s another 11, the first, and neither he nor 11 are as powerful as the Mind Flayer which is a collective hive mind. Literally a collection of minds. The hellish landscape we saw when Creel was thrown in isn’t much different from what we’ve seen before. The Upside Down has two shades. The majority appears bluish with white particles falling, and a desolated world. The outside of the Creel house also exists in this bluish tint. And then there’s the red, like inside the Creel house and Vecna’s domain. We also see red and thunder when the Mind Flayer is around. Red seems to indicate the Flayer’s presence or strong psionic presence.

  3671. whyamimrpink78 name one classical liberal that ever called themselves capitalist? Capitalist was a term that existed before “capitalism” used as a pejorative towards those of the merchant class that received State favors and formed monopolies. Capitalism is the system of proprietors accumulating wealth and capital, and the dominance of the capitalist owner class in society. A distortion of the values of liberalism who fought for egalitarian and freed societies, not concentrations of wealth, power, and privilege. The now right wing Republican Party has fell far from it’s original principles and beliefs. To equate the capitalist system of labor exploitation to ideals of liberal economists is as dishonest and wrong as equating socialism with State control and an authoritarian form of government. It (Socialism) is a socioeconomic ideal and philosophy that grew alongside liberalism. Socialists were liberals before Marx, and some left wing Socialists and Marxists still are liberals and anti-authoritarians, and advocate socialist market oriented economies. Capitalism is a sham of a “liberated society.” And not equivalent to freedom.
    2
  3672. Pedro Tavarez it’s called wage slavery dumbass. Why do you think self employers, artisans, and farmers didn’t want industrial capitalism in America? The Individualist Anarchists such as Benjamin Tucker and Lysander Spooner lead the Market Anarchist (laissez faire) Socialist movement and warned of the exploitation of labor by capitalists. Even the fucking South called out the hypocrisy of Northern industrial capitalism as being any better than their slave economy. Lincoln’s only response was the wage slave could eventually become a self employer or themselves join the capitalist do nothing class that own property and employ others. Lo and behold wage labor proved perpetual and subjugated the majority of society to the capitalist elite and ruling class.
    2
  3673. whyamimrpink78 No dipshit, you are a capitalist if you own capital, the factors of production, property. What are you dense? Learn some actual history and reality. The Capitalist system while functioning within a market economy, is not synonymous with market economy, nor the only mode of production a market oriented economy can have. It is also a distortion of free market and liberal principles in being a system of a ruling capitalist socioeconomic elite, devoid of the labor theory of value supported by liberal economists. The value of capital over labor is not adhering to liberal ideals. Socialists and liberals, like John Stuart Mill, are the ones who hold the labor theory of value. “Labor is prior to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.” — Abraham Lincoln State of the Union Address 1861 “And, inasmuch [as] most good things are produced by labour, it follows that [all] such things of right belong to those whose labour has produced them. But it has so happened in all ages of the world, that some have laboured, and others have, without labour, enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue. To [secure] to each labourer the whole product of his labour, or as nearly as possible, is a most worthy object of any good government." The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume I, "Fragments of a Tariff Discussion"
    2
  3674. whyamimrpink78 So the term capitalist existed first as a pejorative by liberals to mock the merchants who are favored by states and form an elite business class, the very system Adam Smith criticized. Capitalism is the system of private proprietors accumulating wealth and capital (land, machines, tools, factories, buildings, money etc...) for profit, using commodity production produced by a working class exploited out of the value of their labor. And they also become big business elites as they receive State favors. Moron no one who labors their entire life becomes exceedingly wealthy, they exploit the labor of others to do so. How are dolts like you still believing Capitalism is anything like what Classical liberals supported? The very term Capitalism implies the dominance of capital, of capitalists, of the owner class, in society. economic privilege is a real and pervasive social problem, but that the problem is not a problem of private property, competition, or profits per se. It is not a problem of the market form but of markets deformed – deformed by the long shadow of historical injustices and the ongoing, continuous exercise of legal privilege on behalf of capital.
    2
  3675. Pedro Tavarez Lol Capitalism is good at creating and concentrating wealth into the hands of a privileged minority alright, hence why back when Americans were self-employed, family farmhands, artisans etc... they pushed back against industrial capitalism, where they sell their labor to proprietors, get paid a wage not at all the value of their labor, and work under conditions of the wealthy. Dumbass in a socialist market dominated by worker’s self management and cooperatives, worker’s associations the actual markets liberals dreamed of will come true. Just end the capitalist system sustained by the State, and remove the government from giving capitalists privileges and favors. Socialism is a socioeconomic system that pushes for classless society and worker’s ownership moron. I don’t think you’d know more than Socialist figures like John Stuart Mill, Rousseau, Lysander Spooner, Benjamin Tucker, Josiah Warren, Oscar Wilde, Proudhon, Albert Einstein, Dr. King, George Orwell, David Henry Thoreau etc....

Trump’s movement has no ideology, it’s just a personality cult to let out frustrations against cultural elites. It’s a culture war group, not any real ideological basis.
    2
  3687.  @01nmuskier  they didn’t like some political outsider (as in not part of the political class but still capitalist class) riling up the base with nationalist rhetoric obviously. It was just rhetoric even then, Steve Bannon’s strategy. Andrew Jackson was also an outsider, but administrated as a populist. He was some rugged country boy that made a name for himself in the military. Yeah he was all the negative things of the time: racist, responsible for the death of many indigenous people etc.... But his economic populism wasn’t rhetoric. Jackson, though a PoS, came into government for the first time and did what he said he was going to. Unlike the millionaire from NYC. Like honestly thinking another NY elite was going to help out country folk and understand working class Americans is the set up to a joke. Trump is about as anti-elite and anti-establishment as Giuliani, or Cuomo, or Bloomberg. NY’s finest. It doesn’t cost anything to spew populist rhetoric, what matters is record and action.
    2
  3688.  @AleXand4life  💯 Jackson was an actual populist, presided over the most democratic era of the time, and implemented anti-establishment policy. Jacksonian democracy as we call it was the first time universal “white” male suffrage was allowed and no longer was property ownership a necessary caveat. Long way to go from there we had of course. Interestingly majoritarian rule was a key concept of the Jacksonian era of the Democratic Party. Indeed it was the most democratic political organization since the beginning of American political parties. In some ways Jackson was a demagogue that captured the image of American individualism and country living. Urban Northern elites thought him an uneducated country hick caveman and derided him as “King Andrew” to criticize his advocacy of executive supremacy in Federal government. So many criticisms can be made of Jackson’s presidency, but he was undoubtedly an economic populist. It baffles me that people think Trump is any kind of populist and are taken by his rhetoric. They know politicians lie but just because Trump wasn’t in politics before doesn’t mean he doesn’t lie just as much, if not more. Wealthy elites are in the same category with corrupt politicians.

  3689. JW Deet L Spooner like me was an anarchist. Anarchy is much about democratic control but with the utmost egalitarian principles and liberties that it is not a contest of groups, but individuals in autonomy and free associations. Spooner was anti-capitalist and did not advocate mob rule, but radical democracy. A stateless society where the only association of individuals were economic and no political institutions coercing. No divisions in class or other stratification to reduce people to majorities or minorities, but autonomous individuals in free associations

  3690. Swanzo what are you on about? Republic literally means sovereignty is a public affair, not the dominion of a monarch. A republic can be liberal, democratic, oligarchic, rule of single party etc... The Roman Republic was an oligarchy of patricians in the Senate with blocs of mob interests being in conflict. Republicanism is literally politics made a public institution, concerning the public, opposed to monarchism. The US is a federal constitutional republic and liberal democracy with representative democracy. And it’s right to say that a constitution or ideals don’t always uphold. For the longest this liberal democracy has had slavery and segregation. This was imposed by the majority on the minority.... so what makes representative democracy and Republicanism different from the fears of direct democracy? Just that under direct democracy the populace immediately and directly makes the decisions by ballot. A document does not immediately and permanently protect your rights and liberties. They are fought for as was done in the Civil War and Civil Rights movement. Either by violence or passive resistance. The US government has violated the constitution many times, since it’s beginning such as the Alien and Sedition Acts. Quit playing like calling it Republic automatically makes it better than direct democracy. Either way individual liberties are reigned in. Hence greater liberty in bottom-up decentralized organization.

  3692. It’s a difficult position Republicans have put themselves in. They need the MAGA cult to be successful in the sub political levels, but they cannot appeal their extremism to the national level. Republicans cannot win big with there ever shrinking religious right base, due to their having to appeal to the MAGA cult they find themselves at odds with moderates and independents. Trump is needed to win local and state, but can’t win Federal with him. We’re witnessing the self-destruction of the Republican Party. As someone said, soon the Democrats will take their proper place as the right wing party, and a left wing party emerge from the transition.

  3694. This is why I urge leftists to return to libertarian roots. Political Decentralization is fundamental to freedom and more diverse political involvement. I don’t understand why leftists are so gung ho for centralization of government authority and power, government is the obstacle of all our causes not the solution. I recommend looking into Georgism, Murray Bookchin’s Communalism (libertarian municipalism), and libertarian socialism overall. If you’re Marxist look into left-communist ideals. America has the first fully fledged Marxist political program and true to American liberalism was a libertarian political philosophy that post-humously is called Marxist-DeLeonism, founded by Daniel De Leon.

  3701. Isoroku Yamamoto one progressive reformer against corporations in a government full of corporate backed politicians is somehow going to get more policies passed than the status quo parties? Bernie is still the least wealthiest politician, he’s principled enough to not take corporate PAC money for his campaigns. His policy substance is what people look at. The one time he ran as a Democrat was his presidential campaign, other than that independent.
    2
  3702. Isoroku Yamamoto it has cause Vermont seems very happy with his leadership in the Senate. He wins by large margins with small donations from his constituents. The only movement I see getting uncorrupted politicians into power by going against the establishment and corporate interests is coming from the progressive liberal left. Can’t say the same about center-right Democrats and right Republicans.
    2
  3703. Isoroku Yamamoto and yet he also took Corporate donations... No corruption means taking only small donations. Not to mention he fills his administration with Wall Street, telecommunications, and big oil employees. Corruption all the same. Frankly I never looked into his small donations, but it doesn’t negate his corruption. Sanders didn’t make it to the general, but his primary support was nothing to scoff at. More importantly he ONLY took small dollar donations, not beholden to any corporate donors. My point remains there is no movement getting uncorrupted officials in government not beholden to big money interest other than the progressive left.

  3704. Isoroku Yamamoto when have I ever defended Clinton? She’s a neoliberal, a corporate shill, a center-right elitist. She can fuck off. And Donny J wasn’t voted in by the people who chose not to vote for Clinton. Even with the lowest voter turnout in recent history he lost the popular vote and won by the electoral college. Still just another shill serving corporate interests and the 1%. Anyone thought a guy born into privilege was somehow going to care about the working class was horribly blinded and ignorant.

Conflict Theory goes alongside Structural Functionalism and the third one about individual social relations. Nothing to do with Marxism and capitalist critique. That’s like saying Social Darwinism is the same as Darwinism, it isn’t. Marx was an influence on many fields of study including history, politics, economics, sociology, psychology to an extent etc....

One solution is the Marxist route of the underclass of worker’s taking over the State, but it leads to bureaucratic dictatorial control. Or a more liberal/democratic government. The prototype is the Paris Commune. A democratic Republic polity with a socialist economy. There’s planning economy which can be centralized in the State, or directly and decentralized by syndicate and cooperatives confederation or federation. Then the Market Socialists would stress the Occupancy and Use property norms. Socialism is so broad it appeals to anyone who believes in a classless society where people earn the true value of their work. Socialism in fact finds its roots in classical liberalism.

  3733.  @elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770  he lost because his commitment to state’s rights erroneously lead him to a platform that would prolong segregation, which was the biggest issue of the day. Goldwater was not a supporter of segregation, but he believed the Federal government should not have the power to control the states. He supported and voted for the civil rights act, but did not support the second because it gave the federal government powers over the state. Goldwater was also a member of the NAACP and actively renounced racism. However he was an economic libertarian, and he wasn’t beyond using southern strategy to get votes. He even played up religious values when campaigning though he was Jewish. In his later career and life he had a more liberal bent, supported gay and abortion rights, and even was a supporter of the Clintons. He was a strong critic of the religious right he feared would take over the Republican Party and form an apolitical cult. These quotes show his more right libertarian leanings which only grew as he got older. http://bluenc.com/content/barry-goldwater-religious-right-and-gay-rights

As the president Obama had influence in the party and if he pushed for a bill and was approved and supported by the public that would pressure the Dems to support it. He could threaten to take support from any Congressman not supporting and constituents would make their pressure known. Doing nothing is not an excuse.

  3741. Majin Troll and you have the misconception that Capitalism is the only possible form of market economy. There is a whole wing of Socialist Markets. Capitalism is hedonism, profit motivation, reliant on wage labor, commodity production, and a privileged capital owning class. It has long passed it’s use. The Libertarian Socialists like in Revolutionary Catalonia had no use of the State, unlike Capitalists. Not all Socialism is State ownership, as some have more direct worker’s control, and even markets. Anarchism arose as anti-Statist Socialism. The Capitalists need the workers, workers don’t need Capitalists. Capitalism will always need a government and State apparatus. Hence why they sided with Fascists when Socialism was on the rise.
    2
  3742. Majin Troll right “libertarians” are laissez faire capitalist delusional folk. Capitalism is unsustainable without a State or government intervention. Libertarian is what Libertarian Socialists (Anarchists) have been calling themselves for over a century. Workers are not capitalists they don’t own the means of production, which is what Socialism advocates the common or worker’s ownership of the means of production. Socialism would desist wage labor cause workers would receive their full value of labor. Capitalism is not synonymous with market economy just as Socialism isn’t synonymous with command economy.
    2
  3743. Majin Troll In a right-libertarian or “anarcho”-capitalist society, freedom is considered to be a product of property. As Murray Rothbard puts it, “the libertarian defines the concept of ‘freedom’ or ‘liberty’. . .[as a] condition in which a person’s ownership rights in his body and his legitimate material property rights are not invaded, are not aggressed against. . . . Freedom and unrestricted property rights go hand in hand.” This definition has some problems, however. In such a society, one cannot (legitimately) do anything with or on another’s property if the owner prohibits it. This means that an individual’s only guaranteed freedom is determined by the amount of property that he or she owns. This has the consequence that someone with no property has no guaranteed freedom at all (beyond, of course, the freedom not to be murdered or otherwise harmed by the deliberate acts of others). In other words, a distribution of property is a distribution of freedom, as the right-libertarians themselves define it. It strikes anarchists as strange that an ideology that claims to be committed to promoting freedom entails the conclusion that some people should be more free than others. However, this is the logical implication of their view, which raises a serious doubt as to whether “anarcho”-capitalists are actually interested in freedom. Looking at Rothbard’s definition of “liberty” quoted above, we can see that freedom is actually no longer considered to be a fundamental, independent concept. Instead, freedom is a derivative of something more fundamental, namely the “legitimate rights” of an individual, which are identified as property rights. In other words, given that “anarcho”-capitalists and right libertarians in general consider the right to property as “absolute,” it follows that freedom and property become one and the same. This suggests an alternative name for the right Libertarian, namely “Propertarian.” And, needless to say, if we do not accept the right-libertarians’ view of what constitutes “legitimate” “rights,” then their claim to be defenders of liberty is weak. Another important implication of this “liberty as property” concept is that it produces a strangely alienated concept of freedom. Liberty, as noted, is no longer considered absolute, but a derivative of property — which has the important consequence that you can “sell” your liberty and still be considered free by the ideology. This concept of liberty (namely “liberty as property”) is usually termed “self-ownership.” But, to state the obvious, I do not “own” myself, as if were an object somehow separable from my subjectivity — I am myself. However, the concept of “self-ownership” is handy for justifying various forms of domination and oppression — for by agreeing (usually under the force of circumstances, we must note) to certain contracts, an individual can “sell” (or rent out) themselves to others (for example, when workers sell their labour power to capitalists on the “free market”). In effect, “self-ownership” becomes the means of justifying treating people as objects — ironically, the very thing the concept was created to stop! As L. Susan Brown notes, “at the moment an individual ‘sells’ labour power to another, he/she loses self-determination and instead is treated as a subjectless instrument for the fulfilment of another’s will.” [The Politics of Individualism] Ironically, the rights of property (which are said to flow from an individual’s self-ownership of themselves) becomes the means, under capitalism, by which self-ownership of non-property owners is denied. The foundational right (self-ownership) becomes denied by the derivative right (ownership of things). Under capitalism, a lack of property can be just as oppressive as a lack of legal rights because of the relationships of domination and subjection this situation creates. You lack understanding of the history of Socialism as a broad ideology. From Libertarian Anarchist forms to Statist and Marxist forms. From Socialist Markets of Proudhon, Josiah Warren, Benjamin Tucker informed by Adam Smith and David Ricardo of the Enlightenment, to the mutual aid economies of Kropotkin, and Bakunin.

Overtime those values eroded in favor of post-modern conspiracies and religious dogmatism. We are facing a crisis and the values of reason and liberalism are being challenged against a wave of zealotry and conspiracies. I read the correspondence of the founders of the American Republic and while they were flawed and controversial they had a deep understanding of the powers of reason and science, and some like Jefferson talked of how society and the Republic will advance alongside scientific achievements. Today we’re actually more prone to partisan games and believing in memes on the web rather than actual information

Fascism is a political doctrine that advocates a Corporate State, basically a nationalist syndicalism where every special interest of business and labor sectors collectively bargain under government oversight. Antifa is opposed to corporate hegemony, Democrats, Republicans, Statists etc.... It has adherents in Europe, Latin America, North America, Oceania, Africa etc....

  3769. The Polish Latino from Philly actually economic liberalism is the laissez faire and Free Trade doctrine begun by Adam Smith. Simply means limited government influence on economic affairs. Liberalism as an ideology encompasses, as most ideologies do, politics and economics. Though classical liberalism is not to be confused with capitalism. Capitalism is the socioeconomic system advocated by the property owning or capitalist elites that features specific property rights, capital and wealth accumulation, wage labor, and profit motivation. Also traditionally free market laissez faire principles. Capitalism is liberal economics in favor of capital. Several classical liberals however had a pro-labor view and were the precursors of Socialist ideology. Figures like David Ricardo, Thomas Hodgskin, Rousseau, John Stuart Mill etc....

  3775.  @gcnstudio  ummm socialism isn’t against that even. Socialism is wanting to replace wage labor with labor associations. Economic democracy. And while some are communists, there are market socialists that support free markets. America has a history of it. Look up Josiah Warren, Benjamin Tucker, Lysander Spooner. All socialists for free markets. And all anti-capitalists. Even socialists outdo capitalists in support of free markets. Before Marx, socialism grew out of radical liberalism and were the original libertarians. A communist coined the term libertarian in fact, Joseph Dejacque. And Proudhon, a libertarian socialist, described socialism as such: “Under the law of association, transmission of wealth does not apply to the instruments of labour, so cannot become a cause of inequality. [...] We are socialists [...] under universal association, ownership of the land and of the instruments of labour is social ownership. [...] We want the mines, canals, railways handed over to democratically organised workers' associations. [...] We want these associations to be models for agriculture, industry and trade, the pioneering core of that vast federation of companies and societies, joined together in the common bond of the democratic and social Republic.” Socialism has no need of Marxist Statism. Libertarian socialists were before Marx, opposed Marx, and continue to be after Marx. I myself advocate free market socialism and anti-capitalism.

  3780. Warpmek no it’s not. The Nazis argument was social darwnian and based on pseudo racist science and propaganda. The Communists or more accurately State Socialists like the USSR were in a class struggle against imperialist and capitalist forces that sought to privatize and classify resources and society respectively. They felt their revolution was as just as liberal revolutionaries felt there’s were. Thatcher was Cold War era and her and Reagan established the neoliberal world order we are in today. The Thatcher Principle is about the celebration of death of public figures, not about political ideologies or revolutions.

  3785. The owner of property, especially the landlord is the most parasitic unproductive leach of productive society. Socialism originates with establishing the efficiency and order of productive society for the abundance of goods and wealth to society. This has been core of socialism, industrial and productive society since the utopians like St. Simon. “True equality consists in each drawing benefits from society in exact proportion to his social outlay, that is to his real capacity, to the beneficent use he makes of his abilities. And this equality is the natural foundation of industrial society.” — Henri de St. Simon "As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce." -- Adam Smith

According to the rules that everyone presumably has to abide by, breach of social contract certainly shouldn't be something you can get away with just because you're a religious bigot. If "Christians" want to be outsiders, then there's no particular reason it should be fun for them.

    2
  3816. Well the cause for political factions is class distinctions, so unless equilibrium is reached in socioeconomics expect class interests to play a role. Than you have the ideological rift. Liberal vs Conservative. Proper conservatism is about hindering radical progress to maintain order and stability. Proper liberalism seeks to advance and progress. Jefferson said that the ideological division will always be those who distrust the common people to look after themselves and choose aristocracy/oligarchy. And those who have faith in the common people to know what’s in their best interest, if not always making the wisest of decisions. Jefferson identified with the latter, a democratic anti-Federalist. Washington wanted to avoid factionalism, but politics in itself is the administration of a polity. Perhaps the best way to avoid factionalism is a more decentralized model of bottom-up republicanism. Subsidiarity as it were. People making decisions from the local > county > state > national. This was the vision of Ward Republics Jefferson held. Though the Federalists were nationalists not concerned about political administration, but in national state’s crafting (creating a nation-state). However there has to be a way to equilibrate class antagonisms, or undo it, if there is ever to be no factional interests. The Founding Fathers did not have the advancements of science, technology , sociology, and economics we have today. What we need is a political and economic reformation and restructuring. Otherwise revolution it is.

  3824. Scott Ferguson as free as you think you are in a capitalist economy you aren’t. Capitalism depends on the owners of capital being the ruling interest of the State. They get legislative favors that prevents full fledged competition but enables the usuries of profit, rent, and interest. The classical liberals that advocated free markets did not support capitalism. Adam Smith thought of landowners and rentiers parasites getting income off of no industry. David Ricardo further developed labor theory from Adam Smith. John Stuart Mill rejected the capitalist relationship and asserted the socialist worker co-op as the industrial model best suited for a free society. Thomas Hodgskin also was critical of capitalism as it was developing in his time. He defended labor and was one of the early liberals to develop class analysis. “Labor Defended From the Claims of Capital” was his work focused on capitalists taking from labor. There is a direct line form classical liberalism to socialism. And from feudalism to mercantilism to capitalism. In the early 19th century the term “capitalist” was a negative term used by liberals to attack those merchants and commercial men that succeeded off of favors and privileges from State rule. The term “capitalism” was later created by socialists to call the economic system of labor exploitation they opposed. It wasn’t until the split from classical liberalism to neoliberalism in the 20th century that capitalist economists started to call the capitalist system as old free market enterprise. Those economists that followed classical liberal economists developed many various socialist economics and especially market socialism. As Free Market Socialist, Benjamin Tucker put it: “The economic principles of Modern Socialism are a logical deduction from the principle laid down by Adam Smith in the early chapters of his Wealth of Nations,—namely, that labor is the true measure of price. But Adam Smith, after stating this principle most clearly and concisely, immediately abandoned all further consideration of it to devote himself to showing what actually does measure price, and how, therefore, wealth is at present distributed. Since his day nearly all the political economists have followed his example by confining their function to the description of society as it is, in its industrial and commercial phases. Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be. Half a century or more after Smith enunciated the principle above stated, Socialism picked it up where he had dropped it, and in following it to its logical conclusions, made it the basis of a new economic philosophy.”

  3829.  @readytoworkboulder  rebellion is good. It reminds the State they won’t always monopolize violence. The State commits the most atrocious violence and yet we’re supposed to allow the State to dictate to us what is moral violence and what isn’t? And people are just supposed to sit still while State cops can kill American citizens for whatever reasons? And demand the people still remain docile about it and pay taxes to a State that doesn’t care about them? Nah man, it’s time we regain our radical liberal roots. As Jefferson said: “What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.” And this goes for those that stormed the Capitol as well. While I disagree with why they did it, I understand their frustrations and fears. Even if many are into conspiracies. Unfortunately as have occurred in BLM riots, during the Capitol storming people got hurt, and some even died. If only we can channel this anger not at our fellow citizens, but to the ruling class. The problem isn’t rioting, as MLK said “riots are the language of the unheard.” The problem is how can we take back our liberties and remind the government who rules this Republic.

  3831. Expendable4 H00 capitalism is based off certain property rights and owners of capital accumulating more capital and wealth through the exploitation of labor and an underclass of labor, selling labor for WAGES. It is based off profit motive. Socialism has had liberal and libertarian/anarchist forms since the 19th century. The socialist Owenites were the first advocates of worker coops. The Paris Commune was a liberal democratic socialist short lived revolution. Anarcho-Syndicalist Catalonia was the largest anarchist revolution. Maybe don’t speak if you don’t know. Here’s what Free Market Anarchist Benjamin Tucker had to say about the classical liberal roots of socialism: “The economic principles of Modern Socialism are a logical deduction from the principle laid down by Adam Smith in the early chapters of his Wealth of Nations,—namely, that labor is the true measure of price. But Adam Smith, after stating this principle most clearly and concisely, immediately abandoned all further consideration of it to devote himself to showing what actually does measure price, and how, therefore, wealth is at present distributed. Since his day nearly all the political economists have followed his example by confining their function to the description of society as it is, in its industrial and commercial phases. Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be. Half a century or more after Smith enunciated the principle above stated, Socialism picked it up where he had dropped it, and in following it to its logical conclusions, made it the basis of a new economic philosophy. This seems to have been done independently by three different men, of three different nationalities, in three different languages: Josiah Warren, an American; Pierre J. Proudhon, a Frenchman; Karl Marx, a German Jew. That Warren and Proudhon arrived at their conclusions singly and unaided is certain; but whether Marx was not largely indebted to Proudhon for his economic ideas is questionable. However this may be, Marx’s presentation of the ideas was in so many respects peculiarly his own that he is fairly entitled to the credit of originality. That the work of this interesting trio should have been done so nearly simultaneously would seem to indicate that Socialism was in the air, and that the time was ripe and the conditions favorable for the appearance of this new school of thought. So far as priority of time is concerned, the credit seems to belong to Warren, the American,—a fact which should be noted by the stump orators who are so fond of declaiming against Socialism as an imported article. Of the purest revolutionary blood, too, this Warren, for he descended from the Warren who fell at Bunker Hill. From Smith’s principle that labor is the true measure of price—or, as Warren phrased it, that cost is the proper limit of price—these three men made the following deductions: that the natural wage of labor is its product; that this wage, or product, is the only just source of income (leaving out, of course, gift, inheritance, etc.); that all who derive income from any other source abstract it directly or indirectly from the natural and just wage of labor; that this abstracting process generally takes one of three forms,—interest, rent, and profit; that these three constitute the trinity of usury, and are simply different methods of levying tribute for the use of capital; that, capital being simply stored-up labor which has already received its pay in full, its use ought to be gratuitous, on the principle that labor is the only basis of price; that the lender of capital is entitled to its return intact, and nothing more; that the only reason why the banker, the stockholder, the landlord, the manufacturer, and the merchant are able to exact usury from labor lies in the fact that they are backed by legal privilege, or monopoly; and that the only way to secure labor the enjoyment of its entire product, or natural wage, is to strike down monopoly.”
    2
  3832. Expendable4 H00 Nope. I as a socialist believe people should be paid their value. So long as there is employment worker’s are to be rewarded the full value produced, and not exploited for a wage. Hence Free Market Anarchists call to end profit, rent, and interests for a Mutualist economy of worker coops and self-employed. No one should have an authority in their labor. Only those elected and subject to immediate recall. And capitalist wage labor ended in favor of what Josiah Warren called “cost the limit of price.” As there is more competition between capital instead of labor, the cost of labor should be what the laborer produces in full. And so worker coops and syndicates overtake private capitalist business. Who gives a shit about your wage labor jobs when the worker’s can associate voluntarily in self-managed coops and industrial federation? Rather they own their labor and capital then make someone else wealthier.
    2
  3833.  @expendable4h002  completely misinterpreting. If you want to know how it works look up the revolutions and material. Start with classical liberalism and move on to Proudhon, Mikhail, Kropotkin, Tucker, Spooner, Warren, Luxembourg, Goldman etc... There is no individual choice in starving and haven't capital so you sell labor to survive. The underclasses are just propagandized and subjugated by the ruling elite and their apparatus of control, the State. Successfully demonize socialism, anarchism, and make them see what you want them to. capitalism isn’t synonymous with markets. Markets existed long before a socioeconomic system of proprietors relying on wage work for the accumulation of wealth and capital. Capitalism is very much a system of the primacy of capital, the rule of wealth, plutocracy. Classical liberals were even critical of capitalism, the word capitalist was a pejorative for those merchants and owners of capital whom received privileges and favors from State authority, so that they maintain monopolistic practices. Early liberals advocates for industrial democracy and what today is called Market Socialism. David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill, Rousseau, Thomas Hodgskin etc... several were self proclaimed socialists, as socialism was understood as those who hold the labor theory of value, and against the primacy of capital over labor, or a ruling business elite. Hodgskin’s “Labour defended against the claims of Capital” is one of the earliest works of class struggle and socialist principle. Such sentiments continued in liberal circles unto Abraham Lincoln and the modern socialist movements. As Lincoln said: "And, inasmuch [as] most good things are produced by labour, it follows that [all] such things of right belong to those whose labour has produced them. But it has so happened in all ages of the world, that some have laboured, and others have, without labour, enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue. To [secure] to each labourer the whole product of his labour, or as nearly as possible, is a most worthy object of any good government." Or... "Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration." Lincoln's First Annual Message to Congress, December 3, 1861.

And that was said around the mid 19th century so imagine how truer that is now. The Constitution was a government created by the more elitist Federalists whom were Nationalists and favored more centralized government. They sought to calm the fervors of Democratic radicalism that inspired the Revolution. Thomas Paine’s Common Sense which stoked the fires of revolution was a vision of radical liberal democratic republicanism. Boy did the Federalists fucked that up big time. Instead of fixing the Articles of Confederation their solution was big Federalist government.

  3846. The Conductor Esplin Well China isn’t Communist. That would mean achieving a stateless, moneyless, classless society. They call themselves Communist sure but that’s because supposedly that’s the end goal of their revolution. Truth is Marxist-Leninists usually go State Capitalist instead of post-capitalist. Communism isn’t inherently Statist in itself as it’s an anarchist ideal that requires the abolishment of State. However Marxists do believe in State control of the workers, that is to say a State where the workers rule and govern, to eventually get to Communism. Doesn’t necessarily have to be authoritarian as seen in the Paris Commune it can be very liberal politically. They established a bottom-up worker’s democratic socialist republic. The Marxists-Leninists however are authoritarian in method and advocate single party rule of a supposedly worker’s party and State control. With that said Bernie Sanders is a Social Democrat who isn’t even a real Democratic Socialist despite what he calls himself. He’s not post-Capitalist. He just wants a welfare state like most of Europe has where certain needs are a public matter and capitalism is still very much the economy. Thus a robust middle class. Some of his policy ideas used to be implemented in the FDR New Deal era in America. As for what @abstracttraitorhero is telling you is that America is very right wing economically. Calling social issues left or right is tricky but when it comes to social and cultural issues you’re either progressive or conservative. Believe in greater liberal rights or traditional norms. Government could be involved in protecting or granting greater rights to certain groups or be involved in protecting conservative norms and institutions.

  3847. The Conductor Esplin I’m not just any socialist. I’m a Libertarian Socialist we are Anarchists. If you think libertarian socialism is an oxymoron I recommend you look up the history first. Lots of pro capitalists think they invented the term. Socialism comes in many flavors as does capitalism. We have anarchists, Marxists, liberal socialism (real Democratic Socialism), Market Socialists and Marxist-Leninists (authoritarianism). As capitalism has liberal capitalism, State Capitalists, Corporative Fascism, authoritarians like Pinochet etc... Shame you dismiss all Socialism as government control or Statism. It’s annoying as imagine if we measured all capitalism by Fascist Corporatism (as seen in Fascist States of Italy, Germany, Spain) or dictatorships like Pinochet’s. Lot of people are practically indoctrinated to think all Socialism is Marxist-Leninist, not true. Socialism gave birth to the first anti-Statist and anti-authoritarian political ideology, anarchism. In any case rest easy, Bernie Sanders isn’t an actual socialist. He wants Welfarism and isn’t going to get rid of capitalism anytime soon.

  3870. Ken93 Lol and yet Anarchists came out of Socialism. The most Individualist ideals lay in Anarchism. You see you might want to take credit for being born into an identity, but you had nothing to do with their accomplishments, because it was individuals who lead progress and accomplishments not the collective sheep. People always thinking Western Civilization is about a collective white European identity and culture. Europeans are ethnically diverse and have different cultures. In fact Iranians are also Caucasian, so are they treated differently? There is no monolithic culture an identity, people can’t even agree on type of Christianity. You lose. Civilization in general is about progress, freedom, and West Civ has a focus on individualism.

  3873.  @libertybell5796  you think Founding Fathers was just the usual suspects? That’s an epithet they give to every important figure of the revolution and transition towards the American Republic. Including Crispus Attucks who didn’t do much but was seen as the first casualty of the struggle towards independence. It’s well known that at first the Americans wanted fair representation, and voice in parliament. They didn’t resort to independence until it was seen as the only measure to get their ideal social order. Even then the public wasn’t exactly up in arms. That is until the man synonymous with radical liberalism and republicanism, Thomas Paine, penned Common Sense and radicalized the colonialists towards a vision of a radical liberal democratic republic. Of course the Federalists ruined his vision and Paine spent the rest of his life criticizing what became of the Republic, and the loss of the revolution. Paine’s was shunned by the more famous “founding fathers” for being “too radical” and died in obscurity. They couldn’t handle his proposals of fair land distribution, of the first social welfare programs (SS and UBI), and anti-slavery. Thomas Paine unlike the rest wasn’t part of the ruling elite that were concerned for property and financial interests. “When it shall be said in any country in the world, my poor are happy; neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want, the taxes are not oppressive; the rational world is my friend, because I am the friend of its happiness: when these things can be said, then may that country boast its constitution and its government.” — Thomas Paine, Rights of Man

  3897. sweetbriar huslin they really don’t actually. If you’re referring to Democrats and neoliberals, those are very conservative and pro-Capitalist positions. Economic globalization is a product of neoliberalism, implemented by conservatives like Ronald Reagan (US) and Margaret Thatcher (UK). Neoliberalism is an ideology calling ideals of classical economic liberalism, as projected by the likes of Milton Friedman and the Chicago School of Economics. The left wing (Anarchists, Socialists/Communists) and even centrist Social Liberals advocate global cooperation, but not global economies reliant on the exploitation of and syphoning of resources from underdeveloped nations and countries. The far left has always been against neoliberalism and multi-national corporations exerting their Capitalist markets on others. So I do not understand where you got that the left are for economic globalism, it’s completely against what we believe.

Though the Molinari Institute recognizes the liberal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustave_de_Molinari as an early market anarchist for his strong liberal economics. The Austrian School of Economics would develop late 19th and early 20th century with Menger, Bawerk, and Wieser. Libertarian socialism (Anarchism) developed early and mid 19th century. And the Individualist Market Anarchists were anti-capitalists. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individualist_anarchism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Tucker

In 1973, General Pinochet launched a coup against the democratically elected socialist government of Salvador Allende in Chile, and instituted a dictatorship under which thousands of trade unionists were tortured and murdered. Hayek wrote an infamous letter to The Times defending the coup in the following terms: “I have not been able to find a single person even in much maligned Chile who did not agree that personal freedom was much greater under Pinochet than it had been under Allende.”

  3907.  @dr.gheese3727  authoritarians playing at anarchism classic! Anarchy is Order! And Anarchy is anti-statist socialism. I’ve always supported an AnCap society in any one of the States just to prove itself not anarchist. There is no stateless society when property and land are accumulated to capitalists. Anarchy is voluntary socialism based on Max Stirner egoism (a radical individualism). Our guns are to prevent tyrants in private, social, and economic life. The first man to call for Anarchy (libertarian socialism) said: “To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be place[d] under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.” “Property, acting by exclusion and encroachment, while population was increasing, has been the life-principle and definitive cause of all revolutions. Religious wars, and wars of conquest, when they have stopped short of the extermination of races, have been only accidental disturbances, soon repaired by the mathematical progression of the life of nations. The downfall and death of societies are due to the power of accumulation possessed by property.” “"Capital" in the political field is analogous to "government". The economic idea of capitalism, the politics of government or of authority, and the theological idea of the Church are three identical ideas, linked in various ways. To attack one of them is equivalent to attacking all of them. What capital does to labour, and the State to liberty, the Church does to the spirit. This trinity of absolutism is as baneful in practice as it is in philosophy. The most effective means for oppressing the people would be simultaneously to enslave its body, its will and its reason.” “Under the law of association, transmission of wealth does not apply to the instruments of labour, so cannot become a cause of inequality. We are socialists under universal association, ownership of the land and of the instruments of labour is social ownership. We want the mines, canals, railways handed over to democratically organised workers' associations. We want these associations to be models for agriculture, industry and trade, the pioneering core of that vast federation of companies and societies, joined together in the common bond of the democratic and social Republic.”

  3910. Sure the principles of the American Revolution lead radicals, leftists, and progressives to fighting against injustices, but the elites and establishment did not care fore equality or freedom for all. That’s ignoring half of the history, as the power structure of white supremacy allowed the majority of Americans to believe non-white people were subhumans that didn’t deserve the same freedoms and rights as white men. Abolitionists were in fact critical of the Constitution and the compromise with slaver’s to form the Republic. Other’s used the Constitution to justify abolition. The point is it’s sad that it had to be fought for rather than consistently applying the principles of liberalism and republicanism to others.

Meaning white citizens have a head start in capital accumulation and wealth inheritance. The nature of States is to control the masses, hence society is divided in hierarchies. In a State that relied on racial hierarchy, the centuries of inequality and biased wealth distribution is felt throughout generations. It’s not a matter of if systemic racism is currently still a problem, it’s the ripples still felt from that system that ruled this country for centuries.

  3922. matthew cogar time for a schooling. Some political science 101: the political left-right spectrum is based on the seatings of the National Assembly during the French Revolution. In the right wing were seated monarchist loyalists (royalists) and clergymen of the Church. In the left wing were seated the radical and moderate liberals. So right wing politics is understood as politics that values authority, hierarchic social orders, and coercion. Left wing politics are considered politics that are more in favor of egalitarianism (lesser or no hierarchic social orders), liberty or freedom, and less coercion. The most extreme left wing position is Libertarianism/Anarchism and it’s polar opposite extreme right wing position is Totalitarianism/Fascism. If you are a liberal conservative it does not mean you are an extreme Statist. Just that you are an advocate of liberal Republicanism and Democracy with traditional values that supports a certain degree of proper authority and social orders. Usually they support religious institutions and moral authority, government protection of traditional values, and conservative attitudes towards progress. Trump however is not a traditional conservative more of a Kleptocrat and comparatively to standards of intelligence a Kakistocrat. He however is moving the right wing in America further right to where even far right groups support him and are coming out in grandstanding rallies.

The goal of all is a leftist stateless paradise of freedom; but the authoritarians (Marxist-Leninists) seek a transitory State first to defend itself from capitalist influences. They don’t hide their authoritarian tendencies either. Since Lenin they all told the proletariat they need a strong centralized government system to defend the revolution. Just saying the authoritarian socialists don’t hide their authoritarianism. Everyone knows what the Marxist-Leninist doctrine is. But I agree wholeheartedly on your take of neoliberalism. I think all in all you got your head on your shoulders, unlike neoliberals with their heads up their ass.

It’s a bottom-up federation of communes where the free association of producers replaces wage labor (wage slavery) for a classless society.

  3955. Mukiwa Banda I was about to respond a full answer but others have covered it. Evidently you did not understand Marxist thought. Did you know the only official Communist revolution that had Marx’s approval (though he thought had more work to do) was the Paris Commune. He thought it the best example of a “dictatorship of the proletariat.” It was not an authoritarian state. The worker’s collectivized industry, held worker’s councils, and implemented recall of delegates. It was a democratized society, not lead by authoritarian political parties. Goes to show you, not all Marxism (which I’m actually not) and Socialism/Communism is Marxist-Leninist and State Socialism. There are two strands the Statist (Marxist, Democratic Socialist) and Libertarian (Anarchist Socialists). While Marx did advocate the working class become the ruling class in control of government, he envisioned a democratized worker’s society. Not all Socialism is Statist, and not all Statist Socialism is authoritarian Leninism and Stalinism. Your point “Communism is State ownership” shows you do not in fact understand the broader range of Socialist ideology.

  3956. Leah Dijon I still refer to us as Libertarian. It’s a synonym for Anarchist Socialist. Pretty much all real Anarchists are Socialist, even those Individualists that advocate a market economy like Proudhon and Benjamin Tucker.

  3965.  @theaeronautical9203  I beg to differ. Trump’s tax cuts were standard corporate hegemonic, and those of lower classes weren’t permanent, wouldn’t even last a decade last time I checked. The Republicans and Democrats are not interested in a fair taxation. Democrats, I might get flack for this, and progressives believe alleviation comes through tax redistribution and strengthening the social welfare programs. Even as a libertarian socialist I have no problems with welfare today, as many people struggle under this system, though ultimately welfarism isn’t the solution I would advocate. It’s a band aid on the state capitalist system. The best taxes would be Georgist kind. Not only is LVT, and other such taxes on public utilities, economically sound they go along way in limiting the State, and distributing to the citizens. Even a neoliberal economist like Milton Friedman saw the economic genius of an LVT tax. As a socialist I don’t like the notion of involuntary taxes, but a taxation for the privatization of public resources is not only ethical, it is just. So long as we have a State, such taxes wouldn’t be crippling. I hate when workers get taxed their wages, incomes, salaries etc.... Capitalism is a statist system entrenched in the privileged and elite status of property owners. True radical free markets are of a socialist bend. Libertarian socialists support either market socialism, or libertarian communism, both coexisting in a libertarian society. In America there was a strain of libertarian market socialists, known as individualist anarchists, and free market anarchists. Since the 19th century they exposed capitalism for the tyranny it is, and advocated a libertarian enterprise system of market socialism. Free market socialism allows us a better critique of political economy, and to see what really goes on in the “free market” of capitalism. Welfare is minuscule compared to to robbery done by monopolies, and capitalists. If your resentment is directed downward against the “underclass” and recipients of welfare-for-the-poor, it’s most definitely misdirected. First, let’s look at the little picture, and consider the net effects of state policy on the actual recipients of welfare. Consider how state policies on behalf of land owners and real estate investors, like the enforcement of absentee title to vacant and unimproved land, drives up rents and closes off access to cheap living space. Consider how licensing schemes and “anti-jitney” laws, zoning laws against operating businesses out of one’s home or out of pushcarts, and regulations that impose needless capital outlays and entry barriers or overhead costs, close off opportunities for self-employment. And consider how zoning restrictions on mixed-use development and other government promotions of sprawl and the car culture increase the basic cost of subsistence. You think the money spent on welfare for the poor equals that drain on the resources of the underclass? Next, look at the big picture. Consider the total rents extracted from society as a whole by the dominant economic classes: The inflation of land rent and mortgages by the above-mentioned absentee titles to unimproved land; the usurious interest rates resulting from legal tender laws and restraints on competition in the supply of credit; the enormous markups over actual production cost that result from copyrights, patents and trademarks; the oligopoly markup (once estimated by the Nader Group at around 20% of retail price in industries dominated by a handful of firms) in industries cartelized by government regulations and entry barriers … Now consider, out of this vast ocean of rents extracted by state-connected parasites, the miniscule fraction that trickles back to the most destitute of the destitute, in the form of welfare and food stamps, in just barely large enough quantities to prevent homelessness and starvation from reaching high enough levels to destabilize the political system and threaten the ruling classes’ ability to extract rents from all of us. The state-allied landlords, capitalists and rentiers rob us all with a front-end loader, and then the state — THEIR state — uses a teaspoon to relieve those hardest hit. Every time in history the state has provided a dole to the poorest of the poor — the distribution of free grain and oil to the proletariat of Rome, the Poor Laws in England, AFDC and TANF since the 1960s — it has occurred against a background of large-scale robbery of the poor by the rich. The Roman proletariat received a dole to prevent bloody revolt after the common lands of the Republic had been engrossed by the nobility and turned into slave-farms. The Poor Laws of England were passed after the landed classes enclosed much of the Open Fields for sheep pasture. The urban American blacks who received AFDC in the 1960s were southern sharecroppers, or their children, who had been tractored off their land (or land that should have been theirs, if they had received the land that was rightfully theirs after Emancipation) after WWII. As Frances Fox Piven and Andrew Cloward argued in “Regulating the Poor,” the state — which is largely controlled by and mainly serves the interest of the propertied classes — only steps in to provide welfare to the poor when it’s necessary to prevent social destabilization. When it does so, it usually provides the bare minimum necessary. And in the process, it uses the power conferred by distributing the public assistance to enforce a maximum in social discipline on the recipients (as anyone who’s dealt with the humiliation of a human services office, or a visit from a case-worker, can testify). So don’t resent the folks who get welfare and food stamps. Your real enemies — the ones the state really serves — are above, not below. Trump’s tax cuts and deregulations that only affect corporations were as much a give away to the corporate hegemony and capitalist class as was the abysmal “COVID relief package” concocted by Republicans and passed by Democrats. No surprise as both parties support the corporate hegemony, and are neoliberal capitalist.

  3984. Chaz McGooski Freedom of association is a libertarian socialist tenet and concept. It has to do with worker’s coming together in association and federations. Industrial democracy and worker’s ownership and self management. The Mutualist Proudhon famously exposed capitalism in “What is Property?” and his answer was theft. He proposed the basis for a market socialist economy where commerce took place in Mutualist exchange free from capital exploitation of labor. Even early classical liberals were against the hierarchical socioeconomics of capitalism. Thomas Hodgkin’s “Labor Defended From the Claims of Capital” is one of the earliest examples of liberal socialist ideals. Liberals were supportive of laissez faire market economies, but showed anti-capitalist sentiments as they believed labor should be rewarded it’s due, not a primacy of capital in society.

  3985.  @cp3190  I’m talking about libertarian socialism aka anarchism. The original anti-statist (anti government) movement. The first individual to refer to themselves as anarchist was the libertarian socialist Pierre J Proudhon. And the person credited with popularizing the term “libertarian” was the anarchist-communist Joseph Dejacque, whom had the first anarchist periodical in NYC
    2
  3986. Decent try David but completely wrong. Social Democracy is akin to FDR’s Modern Liberalism, though a bit different. It is maintaining a capitalist framework while having a social welfare system. The history of Social Democracy is Evolutionary Marxism and Democratic Socialism. But Social Democratic parties became increasing moderate and pragmatic so as to basically abandon Socialist revolution (whether armed or democratic) in favor of a Capitalism inspired by social justice. Socialism is the broad ideology of socioeconomics and politics opposed to the capitalist system. This includes Communism. It is sociopolitically about the emancipation of labor from the rule of capital. Socialism essentially deals with property relations and ownership, it’s relationship to social inequities, and the means to an egalitarian society rid of classism. In essence the revolution of society for a classless system, and property norms not inherently exploitative of labor. Socialism has Libertarian, Liberal, and Statist (Authoritarian) tendencies. Such as Anarchism, Democratic Socialism, and Marxist-Leninism (State Socialism) respectively. Socialists also support a variety of economic models, that’ll lead to the ultimate goal of a classless egalitarian society. Such as State Socialists supporting a Centralized Command/Planning Economy. Libertarian Socialists supporting decentralized planning, like trade and industrial federation or confederation. Or Market Socialists in support of market economies (markets and capitalism are different things) where socialist structures form an egalitarian system distinct of capitalist private ownership, class hierarchy, and profit motivation. The most radical form being Free Market Anarchism. Communism (a form of Socialism) is a stateless, moneyless, classless society in which the community own the means of production and distribute goods and services primarily by need and are collected in commune stores for distribution. Distribution can be through a labor note/voucher wage system (Marxist Communism; Anarcho-Collectivism) where Labor notes are wages received in accordance to productivity. If I have a labor note worth 900 shoes produced I could use it to obtain anything worth upto that value, be it food or appliances. A labor based trade medium. Or it can be like in Anarcho-Communism where goods and services and produce are freely given to the community without need of any medium of exchange. “From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs.”

  3990. Beyond Fables I don’t know if it’ll happen in my life time. The Far left views Social Welfare and such measures as but band aids to halt the collapse of a self destructive system. The first Welfare State indeed was created by Otto von Bismarck, a conservative Junker who sought to maintain Capitalists interests and Capitalism by creating programs of complacency towards the workers who would otherwise been won over by the despised Marxist and Socialist movements. Thus maintaining the status quo of wealthy elites and political powers. Marx also foresaw the replacement of workers with machines, automation. Automation is on the rise and Marx’s critique of Capitalists throwing workers to the trash bin is also coming true. But technology is not the enemy to Marxist thought, it is humanity’s salvation from the labor it’s needed to live. Socialism is producing accordingly to the needs of a community, worker’s owning the means of production and their own labor. Worker’s are awarded their productivity accordingly etc... Marx claimed Socialism will arise at the end of Capitalism, and would need to be lead my the most industrious nations and other details. The world is changing and automation will force societies to make new decisions about human organization.

  3991. chaz Mc GOOski Well can hardly say there won’t be problems with such a small number of coops in a Capitalist profit driven society. But gradually collectives and democratized industries I plan advocating for in our society, since I’m still a student making my rounds in college I haven’t but organization and education are my goals to push for a collectivized sector of American industry. This is not new as since the Mill Girls and beyond people have pushed for more democratized industry in America. Strange the coops I’ve been have cheaper prices than most stores but accounting for the locale some may still be more profit driven if around competitive markets.
    2
  3992. juanamigo No. Those are for the future when automation is taking all the jobs. As far as America I think the best thing to do now is transition to Market Socialism where worker coops replace private ownership. First thing we have to break concentrated wealth and power of the private owner class. This country can be a leading force of leftist economics. And I don’t see profit motivation, or commodity production ending soon cause the globe would have to get rid of that system, not just one nation. However there are many viable Socialist economies to look into that’ll fit the United States. One way or another we must address the Capitalist issue.

  3993. Ann Linley if you’re afraid of corporations taking their jobs overseas because they’re too greedy to pay some taxes that could be used for the benefit of society, then how about you let yourself be further exploited and take crap wages to compete with third world workers. Idiot! You’re hear defending greed and the wealthy, Capitalism is among the most unethical systems to ever disgrace this world. The Irish Famine could have been alleviated had Capitalists had a bit of generosity, but they don’t move unless there is profit and self-interest. They migrated here and got shit wage jobs to live. Keep denying the truth that Capitalism is another system of disparities creating classes where the affluent buy power and sustain wealth creating an elite class undermining liberal democracies. It’s the new Aristocracy. Only difference is now it’s just your wealth not family line that is valued. Anyone who isn’t interested in dismantling and decentralizing concentrated wealth, power, and prestige has failed the ideals of liberalism.

Every time I hear “strong female character” or “strong woman” like it’s so generic. How about showing the human experience of women rather than superficial aesthetics. Feminism is in crisis if it doesn’t abandon it’s moderate liberal veneer, speak to minorities and working class, and offer a radical vision of the future. Rojava’s Jineology for example. There’s great work being done in the libertarian socialist tendencies.

That’s fine too. Most anarchists are civil dissenters stemming from the philosophical anarchist David Henry Thoreau’s “Civil Disobedience” which would inspire MLK and Gandhi. I myself believe in revolution of the mind first and armed conflict only for defense of the revolution against tyranny. Civil disobedience until armed insurrection is necessary. Orwell was still committed to being prepared for conflict and insurrection should it be necessary. But went into parliamentary politics as a first measure of course.

Jews received immediate reparations, unfortunately this country has shit history with black folk. So reparations aren’t a direct possibility for slave descendants anymore but certainly something in a modern context should be done that can equate to giving slave descendants socioeconomic uplifting. Whether that means just checks to cut or other things I don’t know.

  4029. Generic Scout yet this system is about a few accumulating capital and wealth at expense of the laborers. A worker has the “options” of selling their labor to a capital owner or starve to death and be homeless. Meanwhile employers, big businesses or corporations, specifically have a hard time compensating worker’s livable wages. They want to profit over anything, and screw over workers in the process. If they can get cheaper labor they’ll do it, if they can pay lower wages they’ll do it, if they can let go and get richer they’ll do it. Millions isn’t enough, billions isn’t enough. They accumulate it all and buy government to their favors.

    2
  4031. Som Keshav Arguably so. However ethno-statism, racial supremacy, racial separatism aren’t exclusive social ideologies to Fascism. For Confederates to have been Fascists they would have believed in one nation-state and centralized government; not a loose union of States. Fascism is about collective strength over individual interests. The decentralized confederation is not ideal for Fascist unity. Racial castes are seen around the globe without need of Fascist rule. Such as India, Apartheid South Africa, segregationist US, colonial Americas etc.... For sure Confederates were socially precursory to what we saw in Fascist Europe, their political doctrine was racially based. But that can be said of many empires throughout history. Roman Empire was State-wise precursory to Fascism. If you think Confederates were socially Fascistic you wouldn’t be entirely wrong. Think of it as a proto-sociocultural Fascist ideal.

  4033. Keith Warner exactly. Capitalism is just rule of capital. The property owning class only want to accumulate wealth and capital, at the expense of an underclass of exploited laborers. Worker’s cooperative and collectives, or syndicates would decentralize economic power and advance an industrial democracy.
    2
  4034. michael nola yes people always conflate Socialism with government, welfare, authoritarianism etc... Marxist-Leninists do not dictate what all Socialism is. It has a broad history in liberalism and libertarianism aka anarchism. Like Rosa Luxembourg, George Orwell, and many others we need to advocate liberal and libertarian socialist ideals. Democratic Socialism predicated on an ideal of a worker’s liberal democracy, or worker’s Republic. This is where much of socialism originated. John Stuart Mill advocated worker’s cooperatives over capitalist boss industries. We need to ensure democratic and decentralized power in the hands of the people, the workers.

I’m done not calling out conservatives extremism pretending they’re not hiding their hateful bigotry under the veneer of conservative ideology. We know the subtext and even more so the direct rhetoric of making these communities out to be evil made flesh. True conservatives will call out the bigots, unless the whole of conservative coalition agrees with this message and are just too cowardly to be as explicit of their hatred. The conservatives that call out and reject the bigots among them are the real ones

And yeah socialized prejudice is a real thing, people never stop to think of what a black person may feel every time they get some type of representation in media, fiction or non, and it’s a huge problem. Like people really have decided that white is the standard and anything else is political and agenda driven. I’ll tell you what Ubisoft’s agenda is capitalism.

    2
  4052. Fortnite Elite USA That’s not Marxism. Marxism is a critical ideology of the Capitalist system. It focuses on Class Struggle, or Conflict. It advocates the working class becoming the ruling class by taking the State. And then ideally they transition into a Stateless, classless socioeconomic situation. While Marx did stress Social Justice, that is not unique to Marxism. It can be found in many ideologies and religions. These capitalists do not want Communism. They’ll lose all their privilege and wealth if the working class were to revolt. The right has this misunderstanding. Ideals like feminism, multiculturalism, social sciences aren’t inherent of Marxism. Social Liberalism shares these schools of thoughts, as it promotes the old classical liberal ideals of liberty, equality, and solidarity. Also Marxism isn’t political correctness. Marx would have the working class armed and ready to throw down to break their chains. His Social Justice focused on the emancipation of the worker’s across racial and class lines. Not to mention the media aren’t left wing. They’re center-right. If they were Social Liberals Bernie Sanders would be their number 1 politician. They don’t advocate for universal healthcare coverage, or tax reforms. They aren’t biased to the left, they’re biased towards the establishment. They are just a little to the left of conservatives. They’re center-right neoliberals.

  4060. George Orwell was a fascinating figure and brilliant writer. He was an idealist, who is best known for his work in warning of the dangers of totalitarianism (whatever its political form) This can be seen in the two classics 1984, and Animal Farm. Orwell was also a committed socialist who sought to promote a more egalitarian and fairer society. “Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.” George Orwell, “Why I write” p. 394 Firstly, George Orwell was definitely a democratic socialist. He stated this consistently throughout his life – from the mid-1920s to his death in 1950. It is true that he wrote a compelling account warning of the dangers of a totalitarian state. But, Orwell always maintained that just because you severely criticised Soviet-style Communism didn’t make you any less a socialist. In fact, socialism as Orwell understood it, stood for all the values – democracy, liberty, equality – that Soviet Communism rejected. Orwell believed that only a truly democratic Socialist regime would support liberty. “And the only regime which, in the long run, will dare to permit freedom of speech is a socialist regime. If Fascism triumphs I am finished as a writer — that is to say, finished in my only effective capacity. That of itself would be a sufficient reason for joining a socialist party.” – George Orwell, “Why I Joined the Independent Labour Party” Homage to Catalonia Orwell detested Soviet-style Communism – a belief strengthened when he ended up fighting Soviet-backed Communists during the Spanish civil war – Orwell went to Spain to fight against Fascism and for the Republican movement. As a member of the ILP, he joined a fraternal Spanish party – POUM – a small Marxist / Anarchist / Socialist grouping who had strong utopian Socialist ideals. Orwell loved their utopian Socialism. “Socialism means a classless society, or it means nothing at all. And it was here that those few months in the militia were valuable to me. For the Spanish militias, while they lasted, were a sort of microcosm of a classless society. In that community where no one was on the make, where there was a shortage of everything but no privilege and no bootlicking, one got, perhaps, a crude forecast of what the opening stages of socialism might be like. And, after all, instead of disillusioning me it deeply attracted me. The effect was to make my desire to see socialism established much more actual than it had been before.” George Orwell, ‘Homage to Catalonia’ But, Stalin wanted to crush all left-wing parties who were not the Communist party; this led to a civil war amongst the Republican movement in Spain. Orwell got caught up in this and it made him really disgusted with Stalin and the Communist party. “the Communists stood not upon the extreme Left, but upon the extreme right. In reality this should come as no surprise, because the tactics of the Communist parties elsewhere.” George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia This experience of fighting alongside socialist idealists and against Stalinist backed Communist party, only strengthened his belief in democratic socialism. Down and out in Paris and London Orwell had a privileged upbringing – he studied at Eton College, along with many future members of the British establishment. After school, he got a job in the Burmese civil service. But he came to reject his class privileges and also grew to detest the British Empire. In Down and out in Paris and London and Road to Wigan Pier, Orwell wanted to experience the difficult life that working class people experienced. These experiences in Paris, London and Wigan made Orwell very sympathetic to the cause of the working class, and Orwell believed it was socialism that was the fairest way to help create a more equal society. “For perhaps ten years past I have had some grasp of the real nature of capitalist society. I have seen British imperialism at work in Burma, and I have seen something of the effects of poverty and unemployment in Britain…. One has got to be actively a Socialist, not merely sympathetic to Socialism, or one plays into the hands of our always active enemies.” – George Orwell, “Why I Joined the Independent Labour Party” Animal Farm Animal Farm is an allegory on revolutions which fail their ideals. It is clearly an indictment of the Russian Revolution. Orwell made no secret of the fact that he detested what Stalin was doing in Russia. Orwell was scathing of left-wing intellectuals (like George Bernard Shaw) who thought Soviet Russia was a Socialist paradise. Orwell lamented that Communists in Britain were too liable to excuse Stalin’s crimes and paint a picture of Russia which was not reality. To Orwell, Soviet Russia was a failing of democratic Socialist ideals. Stalin had merely replaced one dictatorship (old Tsars) with another more murderous dictatorship. Independent Labour Party George Orwell was a member of the Independent Labour Party (ILP). The ILP was one of the founding forces of the British Socialist and Labour movement. Their roots were strongly influenced by Christian Socialism and the Fabian movement. Key figures in the party included John Keir Hardie, Ramsay MacDonald and James Maxton. To give a flavour of the ILP 1928, the ILP developed a “Socialism in Our Time” platform, embodied in the programme: The Living Wage, incompletely applied. A substantial increase of the Unemployment Allowance The nationalisation of banking, incompletely applied The bulk purchase of raw materials The bulk purchase of foodstuffs The nationalisation of power The nationalisation of transport The nationalisation of land Conclusion Unfortunately, many in America equate Socialism with Soviet Communism. They are unaware that Socialist ideals have nothing to do with Stalin’s policies. Orwell saw Stalin and Hitler as pursuing essentially the same aim of creating a totalitarian state. Orwell wrote against totalitarianism and passionately for a democratic and fair Socialist society in Britain.

  4066.  @empireepic92  Jefferson in his yeoman physiocratic ideals wanted the propertyless to be as least as possible and wanted as many to have their own land to labor and farm. He also was pretty much supportive of Thomas Paine’s land reforms. A controversial and contradictory figure, he was a large slave owner but actually wanted of ways to abolish it without dividing the nation, a goal he thought impossible in his time. He did end the slave trade to Virginia. Jefferson was a slaver and should be criticized, but his Jeffersonian democratic ideals were influential to liberals, socialists, and anarchists

  4076.  @ParadoxRoyal  Neo-liberalism comes from the same neoclassical economics conservatives champion. They're all about the free market. And minimal government is a falsity. Like liberals they choose which areas government should intervene upon the individual only with completely different priorities. Liberals are concerned with attempting to equal the opportunities and social safety nets, etc... Conservatives are all bout expanding the military and bloating it's funds, denying women's choice of abortion, defining marriage and whether homosexuals can marry or not etc... Yeah no Conservative aren't Libertarians they just have differing priorities of government intervention. The figures associated with influencing modern neo-liberalism are economists Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman and James M. Buchanan, along with politicians and policy-makers such as Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan and Alan Greenspan, conservatives.
    2
  4077.  @ParadoxRoyal  what do you mean? Neo-liberalism is solely about the economic model. Conservatives didn't call themselves neo-liberals, scholars did, from the Reagan era that is. Today neo-liberals are corporate moderate Democrats, and they try to moderate a bit of social welfare, and Conservatives are for even less intervention on the economy. Conservatives like Reagan claimed they were classical liberals, but they weren't, they were heavily influenced by Christian fundamentalism. Libertarians are classical liberals.

  4080.  @BiggusDiggusable  well the political allegory of the poem has been long discussed. Paradise Lost can be read as a political allegory, character and events can be aligned with aspects of the political context of the poem's creation. Milton infuses his political thinking using Heaven as metaphor of the greatest Kingdom. Hell represents a republic, God the powerful monarch, and Satan is the protagonist of his ideas. In Book I Satan says, " Me though just right, and the fixed laws of Heav'n / Did first create your leader, next, free choice,[...] Established in a safe unenvied throne / Yielded with full consent,". In the quote Satan argues that in Heaven God rules without the consent of his subjects, shoving the hard work and sacrifice off the others, and explains that he being chosen as leader would be quite the opposite. Through the speeches of Satan in Hell, Milton illustrates the way he believed true leaders should act, and how they should be selected. Likewise, Satan's attempts to rouse the fallen angels are reminiscent of Milton's desire to rally support for the Cromwellian government. For example, as the poem expresses in Book I, "Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n" and adds, "Here we may reign secure, and my choice / To reign is worth ambition, Though in Hell; / Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heav'n." . Satan delivers his heroic speech challenging God, and tells the other rebels that they can change the world, there is nothing that is fixed, Hell can be the Heaven, and vice versa. Satan is trying to encourage them to continue challenging God. As Mary Ann Radzinowicz puts it in The Politics of Paradise Lost "Milton […] deposits in Satan's 'democratic, antipatriarchal, irreligious views' his own pre-Restoration republicanism.".
    2
  4081.  @jeffreyherrera5069  understood. Though I find it since Milton was such a Republican, his ideals found themselves into his great works of literature. Similar to how the authors of the Book of Revelations let their feelings towards the Roman Empire and persecution of Christians influence their apocalyptic visions of future, and the hope that the evils will be snuffed out for a new peaceful beginning where things are set right. One thing we can agree on is that our modern sensibilities shouldn’t be a factor in analyzing historical context, only used for real critique. As we can see with our modern sensibilities the faults with Cavaliers and Republicans in objective criticism, but recognize through historical analysis the systemic issues of which side was better for the future of society. Thank you for conversing with me, was fun.

If Fascism triumphs I am finished as a writer — that is to say, finished in my only effective capacity. That of itself would be a sufficient reason for joining a socialist party.” – George Orwell, “Why I Joined the Independent Labour Party”

  4089. Edward Moran Orwell would have hated Democrats and Republicans alike. To him all liberals were capitalists that maintained it’s status quo. Orwell was an actual leftist, an ally of anarchists, and so an anti-authoritarian socialist.

  4090. Edward Moran duh Orwell was against the State Socialists and authoritarians. He was a Democratic and even libertarian socialist. Right wingers conveniently don’t know that socialism isn’t just Marxist-Leninist. There are Democratic Socialist and anarchists which are the anti-statist branch of socialism. And we’ve been against Marxists since anarchist Mikhail Bakunin debated Karl Marx and the anarchists were kicked out of the 1st International. But there are also libertarian Marxists like Rosa Luxemburg that were critical of Lenin and the Bolsheviks.

  4091. Edward Moran “Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.” George Orwell, “Why I write” p. 394 Firstly, George Orwell was definitely a democratic socialist. He stated this consistently throughout his life – from the mid-1920s to his death in 1950. It is true that he wrote a compelling account warning of the dangers of a totalitarian state. But, Orwell always maintained that just because you severely criticised Soviet-style Communism didn’t make you any less a socialist. In fact, socialism as Orwell understood it, stood for all the values – democracy, liberty, equality – that Soviet Communism rejected. Orwell believed that only a truly democratic Socialist regime would support liberty. “And the only regime which, in the long run, will dare to permit freedom of speech is a socialist regime. If Fascism triumphs I am finished as a writer — that is to say, finished in my only effective capacity. That of itself would be a sufficient reason for joining a socialist party.” – George Orwell, “Why I Joined the Independent Labour Party” Homage to Catalonia Orwell detested Soviet-style Communism – a belief strengthened when he ended up fighting Soviet-backed Communists during the Spanish civil war – Orwell went to Spain to fight against Fascism and for the Republican movement.

I’m just wondering why they don’t cross the threshold and still believe Capitalism is worth keeping. But at any case it is their ideological choice.

  4099. Vasilije Samardzic would you hear yourself defending avarice? If you hate jobs being shipped overseas how about you accept the shit wages to compete with foreign workers. It’s exploitation all around. They exploit third world workers to avoid paying taxes that could help society. That’s sociopathic avarice that Capitalism encourages. Why do these plutocrats need excessive wealth that’s never enough? If a small business owner owns the means of production they are exploiting the labor of value of workers. Freedom to Capitalists is accept tyranny in the workplace or don’t get money to live. Democratize the workplace. Funny before Marx and Engels, Socialist theory had a left wing classical liberal approach. Indeed figures like Adam Smith and David Ricardo influenced this economic democracy. John Stuart Mill and Jean-Jacques Rousseau were such Socialists. That tradition continues in left wing libertarianism (Anarchism, Socialism, Communism).

  4105. Lexort 420 well it is for liberalism. Under socialism class conflict is the core principle by which the ruling classes maintain subjugation over the underclasses. Maintaining superficial differences along racial, ethnic, religious lines and etc... prevents class consciousness and unification of worker’s solidarity of all people. Classless society would be a society in solidarity that has forgone notions of separate races and what not. It’s why Socialism is a international ideology, humanity is one, and ruling elites divide among superficial differences. Individual differences are respected, but all humans are equal in measure of worth.

I would be more of an Anarcho-Communist myself true enough. But I would also like to see more Anarchist Markets, Market Socialism etc... Socialism doesn’t always have to become Communism true enough. The beauty of Anarchy, every community can experiment with left libertarian ideals and social organization. Are you a Lib Soc?

  4123. dakobbz no actually classical liberals advocated a market economy and were early labor theorists of value. Capitalism is a socioeconomic system that developed under liberal markets, hence liberal capitalism, but isn’t inherently liberal. There is also Fascistic corporate capitalism. Early liberals in fact spoke out against capitalism since Thomas Hodgskin. John Stuart Mill was an early advocate of market socialism and industrial democracy. The Paris Commune was a liberal and radical socialist revolutionary effort. Liberalism just means an ideology of limited government, civil liberties, civil rights, and value of individualism. A liberal economy is one where government is limited in economic affairs. And liberal socialists as seen with true Democratic Socialists are liberals who want a socialist economy under liberal principles instead of authoritarian. Conflating capitalism with market economy is a TRUE right wing propaganda Socialism grew out of liberal circles since Adam Smith spoke of the labor theory of value and David Ricardo further developed socialist economic tenets.

And children aren’t interested in sex until puberty age is reached. Then the feelings of biology come naturally. As a civic Libertarian the sociocultural problem is both progressives and conservatives trying to legislate their moral views and make others conform. I’m radically socioculturally progressive, but to foster a free society one must emphasize and support liberal society first and foremost.

  4135. History is clear. Conservatives are for the Status Quo, they are government’s and the State’s best allies.

The USA is the tyrant, the Sith Empire. You Conservatives know nothing about tyranny and oppression, you don’t even defend the minorities in your country that are oppressed, you’ll defend the State rather than stand for the rights and freedoms of those in the lower classes and marginalized communities. You want the State to maintain these hierarchies and to keep those you deem lesser in their place, and when grassroots activism and progress gain ground you react and call it oppression.

It’s rather a synthesis of Catholic Social Teaching with Marxian philosophy, but rejecting Marxist materialism and atheism of course. Catholic Social Teaching has also lead to philosophical and social theories that despite coming from traditionalist perspectives and thought, share similarities with progressive ideologies. For example Distributism, and Subsidiarity. In the course of this Catholic traditionalism is more communitarian than secular socialist, but it goes to show the blurred lines of the political spectrum

  4144. Christian Traverse you’re right Trump isn’t close to a Fascist. Fascists actually have the balls to discredit democracy as a viable political system and also reject liberalism. They believe in extremist nationalism and socioeconomic Corporatism. But with that said you gotta be a special kind of stupid to remain centrist in a neoliberal age. If you understand what is going on you want to get rid of “liberal” capitalism from the left or the right. One chooses Statist Corporatism or State Capitalism and class collaboration. The other Socialism and class struggle. One maintains capitalism but takes out the liberal in favor of the State and national interest. The other seeks to abolish the State and dominant social hierarchies like capitalism, towards a classless society. Corporatism v Socialism, Totalitarianism v Libertarianism, Fascism v Anarchism
    2
  4145. Christian Traverse that is a false argument. A representative democracy is a representative democracy. It is a form of democracy with elected representatives or delegates. And depending on how structured could be more or less democratic. Such as immediate recall. A Republic is a political entity in which governance and ruling is a public affair not the dominion of a monarch. Republic is the antithesis of kingdom or monarchy. Republics can be liberal democratic, single-party rule, oligarchy etc.... so long as it’s not a State ruled by a monarch and dynasties. Capitalism is a problem. It is the rule of Capital. It is sustained by the State and legal privileges and favors. Capitalism is not free market economics. Markets existed long before capitalism. And deregulation helps out big business more as they already have an uncompetitive advantage. You’ll have to do more than give corporations tax cuts and deregulate to their favor to actually form a free market. Capitalism is the State protecting Capital.

  4146.  @libertybell5796  it’s called the political realignment. As the Democratic Party became more labor based in the New Deal era, their politics shifted towards the working class interests. Come the mid 20th century the civil rights movement became an issue of support for the Democratic Party. Early one the parties were still mixed social and economic interests post WW2. But with the rise of the civil rights movement and activism came the reactionary neo-confederate movement among the Southern States with Jim Crow laws. The KKK became a prominent hate group and started using confederacy symbols. As it became official that the Democratic Party was now a party for civil rights, and labor unions, the Southern Republicans took the opportunity to transforms the Republican Party into the party of anti-civil rights, confederate symbols, and opposition towards the Democratic platform. No matter whether they were Republican or Democrat, politicians in the South were pro segregation. Now the Republican Party was of Lincoln’s Northern urbanism, but of the rural South and descendants of Confederates. Neo-Confederacy groups like the Daughters of the Confederacy took to spreading propaganda across institutions in the South that supports “Lost Cause” myth, the Civil War wasn’t about slavery, and trying to build a Confederates states sense of nationalism. While that happened the southern Republican politicians now used what is called “Southern Strategy” in garnering support among the coalition of southern neo-confederate enthusiasts. Infamously the Republican political strategist Lee Atwater was caught on tape discussing the Southern Strategy in using dog whistles and confederate nostalgia for getting support of southern whites enthralled by the heroic mythological spin on the Confederates as freedom fighting rebels. Funnily enough I’m a libertarian socialist. The only good thing Lincoln did was end slavery, but was the harbinger of American capitalism and wage slavery. And the Confederates were social and cultural tyrants that followed the bidding of a landed slave owing aristocracy to divide to poor whites from solidarity with poor non-whites. The only records found in the Civil War era that wasn’t so full of Confederate racist shit, and Union federal centralizing shit, were the anarchists of the day who called both sides out on their bullshit.

  4150. Ken Oakleaf Ever heard of Anarcho-Syndicalist Catalonia? Libertarian Socialism aka Anarchism collectivized industry as workers self management. The worker’s owned the means of production. And they were organized and complete decentralized free associations. Stateless and classless society. If you like to know more I recommend Orwell’s “Homage to Catalonia”
    2
  4151. Kyler Curtis Yes I understand the difference between Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism. And actually no, Socialism is social/worker’s ownership of the means of production. It’s not necessarily nationalization and gov control of industry. That is State Capitalism and is closer to Social Democratic nationalization and Marxist-Leninist economics. Democratic Socialists could expand worker’s coops and push a collectivized sector of industry. This is not government control, it is simply industry and the workplace being democratized. A DemSoc government shouldn’t nationalize, but push for a post-Capitalist Socialist economy through policy and reform. It’s grassroots bottom-up organization. This is a lot closer to my own Libertarian Socialism, which is Anarchism. The difference is Anarchy requires no State. A Democratic Socialist would have a Democratic government alongside a Socialist economy. It’s close to Bookchin’s Communalism aka Libertarian Municipalism. The government would have a Minarchist function, and elected delegates subject to recall. Believe me not all Socialism is State Capitalist nationalization of industry. In fact that is not considered actual Socialism by Socialists unless they’re Marxist-Leninist. Though Lenin himself coined what the USSR achieved as State Capitalism.

  4152. Chad Simmons I disagree. The inclination of humanity and civilization is towards freedom, in all aspects of our lives. The revolution for Liberty, Equality, Solidarity has not stopped. And it’s not about ideological tribalisms, I know that is just more division. But it is about advancing social organization towards it’s greatest potential. Interestingly George Orwell believed also that every ideology is susceptible to, and ultimately leads towards corruption and authoritarianism. All except that is Socialism. Democratic Socialism as he understood it, a classless and liberated society, was the only hope for humanity’s freedom Orwell believed. This due to his experiences in Libertarian Socialist Catalonia where he witnessed the most liberated society he knew.

Besides it would seem the wealthy would prefer to save rather than spend, shocker! That’s capitalism for you, I just wish I were one of the wealthy, maybe someday.

  4157. Can no longer compete against capitalist firms. The ideal solution is mutualist banking providing for coops and associations, but also militant syndicalism and radical unionism. Capitalism can not be done away with reforms and competition. They don’t need the state anymore, they have all the capital resources they need to crush worker coops
    2
  4158. Daniel Paul exactly. But I’m saying the free market anarchists or Mutualists eventually saw that capitalism has garnered such capital that they can’t be competed with. They don’t even need the State. They can hire thugs, they can monopolize more, they can do lots without the State. Which is why Mutualists turned to militant communist anarchism. However the State is the sustainer of capitalism. It must be a social revolution of both mutualism and militant syndicalism. Socializing land (occupancy and use) and destruction of the Statist monopolies on land, money, tariffs, and patents. Without free money labor notes would not be a viable currency. The State monopolizes legal tender and therefore there is not competition. Worker coops are subject to the dollar and profit usury. Learn from our past. The synthesis of Mutualist and communist strains of anarchism is at this point our greatest potential against the State and capitalism. By competing with the capitalist market with our socialist market, and militant activism of radical labor unions. Civil Resistance first and foremost, and insurrection when we are oppressed by private thugs and police trying to stop our revolution. But so long as the State monopolies stand, we are at the mercy of capitalist laws and property rights. And then libertarian societies can experiment their own Mutualist or communist ideals as they wish. But our freedom must be won first.

  4161. Daniel Paul I mean social democracy in the actual Marxist Democratic Socialist sense. What Marx and Engels argues as the “political action” necessary to make the revolution happen. The use of a labor socialist party to take the bourgeois state and implement socialism. Today social democracy is not seen as socialist, because those parties descended into welfare states. It’s so bad social democracy is a word no longer accepted by even Marxists. So there is one aspect of the Commune that was uniquely Marxist, namely the participation of socialists in the elections to the municipal council and the subsequent municipal government. As noted, since the 1840s Marx and Engels had urged workers to support (and, where necessary, fight for) the creation of a bourgeois republic and to use “political action” (namely, standing in elections) within it. Unsurprisingly, then, for Marx the Communal Council would “serve as a lever for uprooting the economic foundations upon which rests the existence of classes.” This repeats the vision expounded in the Communist Manifesto which argued that "the first step in the revolution by the working class" is the "raising the proletariat to the position of ruling class, to win the battle of democracy." The proletariat "will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degrees, all capital from the bourgeois, to centralise all instruments of production in the hands of the State, i.e. of the proletariat organised as the ruling class." It is only in this sense that it is correct to state that “the insurgents had no prior experiences of a successful anti-capitalist movement to draw upon. They were truly pioneering and cut a new path for others.” Sadly, that “new path” was social democracy and the domination of Marxism within the international socialist movement. As Engels put it in 1884, the Commune was “the grave of the old, specifically French socialism, while being the cradle of the international communism, which is new for France.” In this "new path", the Commune was relegated to an inspiration because there had been a democratically elected “workers’ government” and used as a warning of what would happen if a rising happened before the party was ready to secure power nationally. By 1895, Engels was praising the legal successes of social democracy in elections and mentioned the Commune only as an example of “only one means by which the steady rise of the socialist fighting forces in Germany could be temporarily halted, and even thrown back for some time: a clash with the military, a blood-letting like that of 1871 in Paris.” Now it was a case of the “successful utilisation of universal suffrage” which had now (quoting Marx's word) been “transformed by them from a means of deception . . . into an instrument of emancipation.” While insurrection was not totally dismissed, it was clear that Engels final article was a vindication of social democracy's peaceful tactics, tactics that provoked the "revisionism" debates after his death (i.e., the attempt by its right-wing to bring the party's rhetoric into line with its actual practice). Thankfully, Engels comments proved premature. With the obvious descent of social democracy into opportunism, bureaucracy and reformism radical workers looked again to the federalist traditions in the First International which were kept alive by the anarchist movement and turned to syndicalism and industrial unionism. Only with the Russian Revolution (with the help of Fascism) did Marxism (in its Leninist form) became the predominant tendency in the revolutionary left. The path of federalism from below, as was predicted and developed by anarchists like Proudhon and Bakunin, lost ground before social democracy (in part, due to errors by anarchists themselves). Be that as it may, for anarchists, the commune does present issues. After all, a key argument of anarchism is abstaining from “political action” as being irrelevant to creating socialism and opening up the possibility of reformism within the labour movement. Yet, here, surely is an example of “political action” which did produce a revolution (even one so limited in its initial acts as the Commune). Libertarian members of the International, such as Varlin, did successfully stand for election. Does this mean, as Marx and Engels argued, that the general anarchist position of standing in and abstaining from elections is wrong? If the Internationalists had abstained from participating in the elections would the Paris Commune have been different? Clearly, the circumstances of the Commune’s elections are atypical and were conducted in a revolutionary situation (unlike the social-democratic strategy). However, given the limited nature of the reforms the Commune implemented and the lack of dynamism of the Commune’s Council, Kropotkin concluded that any such “revolutionary government” should be avoided. While supporting the initial revolution, anarchists should have encouraged the creation of popular self-organisation in the community and workplace rather than seeking to focus the struggle onto electing a few leaders to act on behalf of the working class. The problem was its representative nature, that “the people was not governing itself.”
    2
  4162. Daniel Paul When did I mention working with the State..... Literally never said that as unlike you I don’t support political action, I support popular assembly and direct action. Refer to me when I said we must work with the a State. Marxists are the ones that believe in using the State for an ultimately anti-statist revolution. This is why I only support libertarian Marxists like council communists.
    2
  4163. 8MercurySunrise8 thats surely the communist analysis of markets. However a free socialist market is preferable to capitalism. As the means of production are socialized. Just distribution via market by cooperatives and individual workers. Even Bakunin still talked about a wages system (not wage labor) in his collectivist society. Workers be given a labor voucher and they use them to acquire whatever they need from the commune stores. It wasn’t until Kropotkin developed the full Anarcho-communist vision that the case for abolishing all currency became prominent in anarchism. Even Marx contemplated a system of labor vouchers or notes. The point is every anarchist society would be free to experiment. Some would be Mutualists, other Syndicalists, others Collectivists, and others Communist. Which ever proves to be the best for free association will ultimately be adopted by free people.

  4165. 8MercurySunrise8 yeah a post-scarcity communist society will take leaps in technological advancements. Some call it full automated luxury communism. We’re talking Star Trek advance lol!

A great insight into the potential of future liberation via technological symbiotic balance with biology and nature.

  4166. 8MercurySunrise8 we need to learn from the past. Be accepting of fellow religious anarchists that found their way through religion. Obviously we’re not going to dictate people’s lives. So long as religion isn’t doctrinarian, and kept personal and to like minded communities. Anabaptists, Buddhist monasteries etc... precursory to libertarian society. Be anti-clerical, but let’s not isolate religious folks that can live in peace without a hierarchic and coercive religious institution. Much preferable a communal and voluntary religious community, than indoctrinating dogmas and theocracy.

  4172. islanderkush doobies The Democratic and Republican parties switched ideologies a while ago. In Lincoln's day the GOP were more liberal and supported industrialization and capitalism. The Democrats were more rural, conservative, and quite frankly racist. Not saying today Republicans are racist or are of exact nature as the old Democrats. Just that now Republicans are the more conservative, religious, and anti-big government of the two parties. This switch happened most prominently when they opposed Democrat FDR who approved of a more welfare state.

  4173. Elizabeth Becker Slavery has been a dark truth of humanity's history. This country was founded by racists that committed themselves to conquer Native lands and for good measure treat them like shit for it. I know Irish came as slaves. You know why? Protestants of Anglo-Saxon roots have always saw themselves as the real white-Americans, and superior to all others. Not everyone in recent ages of course but it's how it started. The British Empire, or European powers, left a legacy of "White Man's Burden" dogma that the world is still feeling the ripple effect from it. I have nothing against Brits, or American whites, or any race. Just I acknowledge they left a legacy of negativity as much as positivity. I fucking hate labels. I see a human being before any stratification. And to all responders don't assume my ideals or intelligence. People here measure my intelligence from less than 200 characters, how insightful. Racism is present in every race, every nation. Slavery is not unique to America or colonial times. But we must address the issues that are still present from this history. I am hopeful another age of cultural, artistic, and idealistic enlightenment is to come and a paradigm shift will be imbedded in the minds of future generations where people see human beings before anything else such as race, creed, nationality etc... We must face our past and learn from it, but hurtful sentiments are getting in the way of dealing with the issue. Face the ugly truth and move on. The Confederacy is only part of American history because it is a people who wanted to leave the country and form a state of racism and slavery. There's nothing to be proud of or inherit. Just the knowledge to be better than the people of the past. This includes people in the Union that turned a blind eye to the suffering of a people.

  4174. Calvin Scott I said the emancipation was for the greater good. And actually yes the Civil War prevented a state of racism and slavery that would have endured for who knows how long? So yes it served a greater good in this continent which is more than you could say about other wars. At least the most brutal war in domestic American history was about ending a horrendous institution. Even thought similar institutions prevailed, it served to progress faster than it may have if slavery continued.

  4176. ꧁ᜰ꙰࿐ Marxism calls for labor to be paid it’s full value of production. And to create a society as the association of producers. Individuals associating freely to produce for the community and their own. Capital needs labor to produce wealth to expropriate. Classical Liberals were not Capitalists, they even hated it. Classical liberals like Thomas Hodgskin wrote such economic documents as “Labor Defended Against the Claims of Capital” because they were free market economists and in favor of labor value and liberal enterprise. They were all against Mercantilism and so they would also be against Capitalism.

  4177. Jack Jaunt you mean you grew up in a Marxist-Leninist country. Nice try though. Marxist-Leninism is but one strain of Socialism. And that’s not even close to Social Democracy, which isn’t Socialist.
    2
  4178. Jack Jaunt lol you are so ignorant for someone who lived in Socialism. The Marxist-Leninist strain of Socialism is authoritarian but not the end all be all of Socialism. Libertarian Socialist societies like Revolutionary Catalonia were thriving well. George Orwell wrote Homage to Catalonia to honor the most liberated society he ever witnessed. Catalonians were Anarcho-Syndicalists. They were ultimately defeated in the Spanish Civil War. Just like the Leninists defeated the Anarchists of Free Territory Ukraine. To say Socialism is all State control and authoritarianism is intellectually dishonest. That’s like me saying all Capitalism is authoritarian because of Pinochet. Marxist-Leninism is not all Socialism. Conveniently the Libertarian and Democratic schools of thought are seldom mentioned.
    2
  4179. Jack Jaunt The Soviets were Marxist-Leninist. This is one strain of Socialism informed by Lenin’s revolutionary politics and interpretation of Marxist thought. Lenin’s ideas included rule of the Vanguard Party, the elitist bureaucrats leading the worker’s, and an authoritarian top-bottom organization called Democratic Centrism. His ideas were always criticized by other Socialists who thought him too authoritarian, most notably Rosa Luxembourg. Socialism advocates social or worker’s ownership of the factors of production and a post-Capitalist classless socioeconomic system. Socialism isn’t opposed to markets depending on the school, but are against Capitalism. That is private ownership of the factors of production, wage labor, commodity production, profit interest etc... And not all Socialism advocates State control, Marxism does. Marx called for the worker’s to take over the State and develop a Socialist worker’s State. This didn’t mean it had to be a dictatorship or authoritarian. Indeed the only revolution to have Marx’s stamp of approval was the Paris Commune and that was a highly bottom-up worker’s democracy. As for Communism, it is one form of Socialism where there is Stateless, classless, and moneyless society and there is common ownership of the means and distribution. It has not been achieved by Marxist-Leninists. Anarchists came close. The progressives of today aren’t much different from Modern Liberals of the past in FDR’s days. They want reforms and regulations but aren’t looking beyond Capitalism. They aren’t Socialist really though they think they are. In truth they want to preserve Capitalism as FDR did. Social Democrats of the Nordic Countries have robust middle classes and successful Capitalists. That’s the model they want. They aren’t Socialists. Due to Marxist-Leninism everyone has this misconception about Socialism that it’s all State control, government doing things, social programs, authoritarianism etc.... Nope that was one Socialist strain it did not encompass all of Socialism. Socialism doesn’t need the State or government, it can be democratic and at it’s most extreme anarchist.

  4180.  @blackphillip564  he was anti-communist in the sense of hating Marxist-Leninism and the Communist Party of the USSR. But he always expressed his support of socialism, which he believed the Stalinists were tarnishing, and he literally paid homage to the anarchist-communist society he loved in Catalonia, Spain. Orwell simply disliked all authoritarian powers, but he saw true democratic socialism as the answer

  4181.  @HahaDamn  Orwell was a socialist that hated authoritarian forms of it, or the version of socialism in the USSR. He saw them basically as Red Fascists no better than Nazis. Hence why he didn’t want that movement to win in Britain. He’s no less a socialist than the Mahknovists were

  4182.  @billystanton1522  really? Cause that sounds like you projecting your ideas on a dead man. And considering what he wrote I doubt he would have been fine with capitalism continuing considering the ongoing consolidation of corporations, the degradation of environment, the military adventurism, and the corruption of “democratic” governments. In fact this passage alone from Orwell made clear what to him is the socialist vision he would support. “Socialism means a classless society, or it means nothing at all. And it was here that those few months in the militia were valuable to me. For the Spanish militias, while they lasted, were a sort of microcosm of a classless society. In that community where no one was on the make, where there was a shortage of everything but no privilege and no bootlicking, one got, perhaps, a crude forecast of what the opening stages of socialism might be like. And, after all, instead of disillusioning me it deeply attracted me. The effect was to make my desire to see socialism established much more actual than it had been before.” George Orwell, ‘Homage to Catalonia’ As you can see Orwell could not abide a social democracy full of social class hierarchies.

  4183.  @Evirthewarrior  “Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.” George Orwell, “Why I write” p. 394 Firstly, George Orwell was definitely a democratic socialist. He stated this consistently throughout his life – from the mid-1920s to his death in 1950. It is true that he wrote a compelling account warning of the dangers of a totalitarian state. But, Orwell always maintained that just because you severely criticised Soviet-style Communism didn’t make you any less a socialist. In fact, socialism as Orwell understood it, stood for all the values – democracy, liberty, equality – that Soviet Communism rejected. Orwell believed that only a truly democratic Socialist regime would support liberty. “And the only regime which, in the long run, will dare to permit freedom of speech is a socialist regime. If Fascism triumphs I am finished as a writer — that is to say, finished in my only effective capacity. That of itself would be a sufficient reason for joining a socialist party.” – George Orwell, “Why I Joined the Independent Labour Party”
    2
  4184.  @Evirthewarrior  Orwell did not write Animal Farm to be anti-socialist or anti-revolution Writing to his friend, the American writer and critic, Dwight Macdonald, Orwell explained: “Of course I intended it primarily as a satire on the Russian revolution. … I meant the moral to be that revolutions only effect a radical improvement when the masses are alert and know how to chuck out their leaders as soon as the latter have done their job. The turning-point of the story was supposed to be when the pigs kept the milk and apples for themselves (Kronstadt). If the other animals had had the sense to put their foot down then, it would have been all right. If people think I am defending the status quo, that is, I think, because they have grown pessimistic and assume that there is no alternative except dictatorship or laissez-faire capitalism.” The lowest class and enemy of IngSoc is literally the Proles (Proletariat). IngSoc was Orwell’s conception of the Nazis and Bolsheviks, using socialist imagery and ideals to lead people astray towards a totalitarian abomination that is nothing like socialism. Do you folks actually consume literature or do you just read quiz notes on them?

  4188. Maheedhar Sonthineni you think democrats are leftists? Lol even Bernie Sanders is right wing. Leftists are anarchists, Marxists, socialists in general. You know anti-capitalist and against private property in the means of production. Leftists support either communism or market socialism. The goal is to abolish State and hierarchy.
    2
  4189. Maheedhar Sonthineni what do you mean at the moment? Socialism developed alongside capitalism in the 19th century. It was in France where the radical liberalism and capitalist criticism formed libertarian socialism. And then Marx formed statist socialism. Leftism has always been socialism since then. In America the Free Market Anarchist movement developed to oppose the rise of capitalism. Left wingers oppose a system of hierarchy that is sustained by the State... capitalism. The system of private ownership, and wage labor. The USA hasn’t seen major a leftist movement since the 1930’s. By then social democrats and progressives were victorious in sustaining capitalism with the New Deal. There is not a leftist party in the USA. Both parties are capitalist and status quo. Democrats are literally neoliberal, as in capitalist. And so are the Republicans. The moderate Democrats are the progressives. Biden is more a moderate conservative. A Rockefeller Republican.

They appear wherever white nationalists appear to make their rallies hell. I’m tired of people pretending to care about aggression and violence. Antifascsim is an old ideal since the WW2 era. Anarchist militias took to actually killing Fascists. There’s a history of insurrectionism in anarchist history. They pretend destruction of capitalist property is egregious, well all liberal revolutions begin with aggression and violence. They didn’t ask for liberation. The only thing I can say as an anarchist is that the Antifa are going about it all wrong. The aggression doesn’t start until you actually see these far right wingers actually start grabbing dangerous political power.

  4198. Hierarchies are BS. Humans evolved as social creatures, and so mutual aid was the way it is. Anthropologists say the majority of humanity was spent in Stateless communities, quite egalitarian so as to survive, and with equal distribution of goods. Tribalisms did exist, but it wasn’t all conflicts. Once the Agricultural Revolution came a shift in society occurred where a minority took the surplus and put themselves above the majority by holding resources. Hierarchies don’t have to be. Peterson’s garbage was especially egregious for a Libertarian Socialist.

  4202. Altruisminservice Ironically the Status Quo and Capitalism is so horrendous, it’s economic liberalism is for Capital only, for the Capitalist property owning class to receive favors and privileges of the State. The Far Left and Far Right both hate it and seek to abolish it, as it is recognized as a parasitical plutocracy. I want to be very clear here I am in no way saying you are a Fascist or anything near it. Not everyone who has nationalist ideals or tendencies are Fascist. But your argument of liberal capitalism hurting national economy is very much the argument Fascists made against capitalism. And just because the Fascists made the argument doesn’t make it a bad argument, they were right. Liberal Capitalism is a plutocracy in which capitalists do not care for nationalism or national economy, but their own profits and disgusting speculation and finance. The Fascists argued from the Far Right that this hurts nationalism, the nation’s integrity and character, and that it was a parasitical plutocratic system that should be done away with. Funnily enough Fascists economically were Corporative. They actually wanted capitalism (though they wouldn’t call it that) just not liberal bourgeois capitalism. They maintained the capitalist socioeconomic model but made it serve State and National interests instead of just private capitalists. This was Corporatism. The Far Left or socialists of course have their own arguments against the capitalist system and hate it. However from the Far Left you have a more anti-Statist criticism of it, and is concerned with wage slavery worldwide and the exploitation of labor globally, not concerned about nationalism. Either way Capitalism is a Status Quo that when it evolves to it’s worst levels of exploitation pushes the masses to seek to destroy it from either the left or the right. I myself am a leftist.

You can bet nations want their hands on Vibranium and many a people will want to flock down to Wakanda for better prospects.

  4218. A. Q. Where that’s the Statist Marxist-Leninist branch of Socialist Revolutionaries. Stalinism was a totalitarian state and no where in those states were the workers ever in charge. There wasn’t common ownership, just State control and ownership. That’s a method the Libertarian left condemns as a departure from ideals of freedom and liberty that Socialists and it’s founders also desired. George Orwell who wrote the cautionary tales of Totalitarianism and State power hated the Soviet Union. He wrote Animal Farm and 1984, yeah that guy guess what? He was a true Democratic-Socialist and fought for Anarcho-Syndicalist Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War. He also wrote Homage to Catalonia where he expresses his love and admiration for the Anarchist and Socialists of Catalonia where he spent much time during it’s period. I think you’re failing to realize Socialism isn’t a form of government, it’s a socio-economic organization. Just democratization of the work place, and industry being collectively owned not in the hands of private capitalists. In America that could mean industries and businesses collectively owned by the workers that work in them, and that’s it. No need to mess with the government or Republic. Just the economy having different ownership from private ownership to worker’s co-ops or ownership. And while the Nordic model has workers protection, strong unionization, social welfare etc... they are implementing reforms that allows Capitalism to use wealth to aid society and salve social ills. It is not Socialist, it is Social Democracy, no Socialist society has privatized industry. And true many of the Nordic policies tax the people but they have established a different view in which they believe people’s taxation should be implemented to the benefit of society. Even that I find preferable to what the US does. Takes citizens taxes to cut taxes for the wealthiest, to fund unnecessary wars, and to give corporations welfare or bailouts instead of helping the working and middle classes. Nope what you see in America is forsaking the workers in favor of the corporate class. If I’m being taxed I’d rather it go to society rather than the wealthy and wars I don’t agree to. It’s a matter of beliefs. But hey we wouldn’t need to have such programs if it weren’t for the Capitalist system where the motivation is profit and creating large inequalities of wealth and prosperity. Whereas a socialist economy would be motivated by need and the community. You work the few hours today’s technology allows, go home and have recreational and personal time to study, relax, participate in activities whatever it is to the individual that makes a more fulfilling life than being a laborer.

But when I look at the social democracies of Europe I see nations enjoying capitalism, societies divided into classes, and content with the exploitation of the underdeveloped world. Just because they live in relative peace doesn’t mean they do not benefit from labor exploitation and severe inequality in the world. I see complacency of labor being exploited by the capitalist ruling class. It is necessary for the working people to be armed. They will not emancipate labor from capital otherwise. History shows capital uses police and even they break fascist to keep their privileges. I am not content until labor and all people are free. Descending from an underdeveloped nation I cannot accept that social democracy is the pinnacle of human development. There is much more to be done. And arms are necessary for freedom and social revolution. The culture I refer to is one where working class is divided into races and other collectivist bullshit. That arms make you masculine. The gun nuts culture. There is another culture. One based in solidarity and mutual aid.

Marx himself believed the ideal “dictatorship of the proletariat” was first manifested in the Paris Commune. A Democratic Socialist Revolutionary government of decentralized democratic worker’s associations and syndicates. The working people took over the city of Paris until the Emperor Napoleon III (I believe) took it back.

  4238. Shapiro did not get a lot of the movie. Wakanda is an xenophobic isolationist state to preserve their Vibranium and culture. And the movie clearly portrays their flaws. Their tradition allowed for a radical madman to take the throne simply because he won a fight, and they would have to follow him, obvious flaw. Also the point was that Wakanda’s isolationism allowed for the enslavement of their neighbors without batting an eye, their traditions also helped create Killmonger. T’Challa saw that his nation, father, and ancestors were wrong and agreed to open Wakanda’s borders for exchange of tech and aid. Wakanda clearly represents a superpower and the issues they face on the global stage. Do we keep to ourselves, or help others in the world? In the end T’Challa acknowledged his country’s flaws because as he saw it the wise build bridges not barriers. And the whole Wakanda was prosperous because it was not influenced by European colonization isn’t a bad thing. Technically without European imperialism the African nations would have been free to use their own resources for their own people and they would have evolved as nations instead of being enslaved and have their resources depleted for the wealth of other nations. Africans would have evolved, just as Europeans did. Wakanda was untouched by outside influence so their culture flourished and they kept their resources for themselves. Anyone thinking this film is trying to further exacerbate racial tensions did not get the film.

  4242. "Take notice how a moral man behaves, who now often thinks he's through with God, and throws off Christianity as a bygone thing. If you ask him if he's ever doubted that the copulation of brother and sister is incest or that monogamy is the truth of marriage, that phyllial piety is a sacred duty, then a moral shutter will come over him at the idea of once being allowed to touch his sister as wife also." —Max Stirner The point here is that ostensibly secular moralists are still effectively Christian/religious when it comes to the content of their moral sentiments. 'God' was replaced with 'Humanity', and Christian moralists largely carried on as before. And some of the evidence of this is in the continuity of Christian moralist prohibitions and commandments (e.g., against incest and for filial piety). Enlightenment replaced God to keep more or less the same moral values….

  4247. m. rude Did you literally just claim that Capitalism, the system of exploitation of labor by Capital is about meritocracy and working for what you have?! Do you think millionaires and billionaires work for a living or exploit worker’s and extract the surplus? No individual could work their entire life and earn that much wealth based on their own labor, it’s impossible. You should actually look into history. When industrial capitalism was taking foot in America during the Civil War period, the self employers, artisans, and agriculturalists were up in arms and did not want it. It was hot debate topic during the time, and the South would argue that the Northern industrialists are no better than their own chattel slavery, as wage slavery was equivalent to their slavery of the black race. The newly formed Republican Party under Lincoln were advocates of the ideals of Classical Liberal Economics and were essentially much a party for labor. However Lincoln mistook the position of rebutting the Southern argument by assuring them that wage labor is not like their slavery, and is superior for the wage laborer can become a capitalist and self-employer. Ironically industrial Capitalism would worsen and make wage slaves of generations exploited by Capital. Lincoln emancipated the slaves, but allowed for the system that would make slaves of many Americans. Americans did not foresee the problems that capitalism would lead to, and the concentration of wealth, privilege, and subsequent eras of robber barons and multi-national corporations. In this time the first Libertarian Socialist movement arose in America lead by Individualist Anarchists like Josiah Warren, Benjamin Tucker, and Lysander Spooner. Their freed markets are the pinnacle of classical economics, and they’re anti-capitalist. Adam Smith and David Ricardo saw the value of labor. Capitalism favors capital and wealth accumulation over labor. As Lincoln said “Labor is prior to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.” SOTU Address 1861

  4248. By the way all leftist ideologies are about the freedom of the individual and in particular socialism is about finding a balance between individual and social interests. Liberalism also advocates individualism but is void of the individual’s place in the social dimension. The right wing and conservatism of full of collectivism. It promotes nationalism, racialism, social conformity, traditional values etc…. The only place for the individual is in relation to their place in traditional hierarchies. The socialist left wing only talks of materialist collectivism, in other words the collectivization of collective property. Because it believes that in order for individuals to be free from domination of classes people must have free access to the means of production. That a material base is necessary for individuals to flourish free from exploitation and working for the wealth of others. Having your necessities fulfilled means more time to pursue your goals outside of work.

Capitalism is a political creature that has nothing to do with classical liberal economics. Liberal economics is the basis of Free Market Socialism and Socialist socioeconomics in general. What’s actually American would be Free Markets, not capitalism.

Equating capitalism with freedom is one of the most “Big Brother” moves ever seen. Free markets are possible under socialism.

  4269. Logan Flowers you do know that civil resistance and disobedience is an anarchist philosophy right? Both Gandhi and MLK were inspired by the philosophical anarchist David Henry Thoreau. And by Leo Tolstoy. The era of “propaganda of the deed” was a violent era of organized anarchist violence. However as it was proven a failure anarchists dropped such tactics generally and focused on education and social action instead. This said never let the State, the biggest sponsor of violence and murder, tell you what actions are justified and what aren’t. Social democracy or democratic socialism has existed for over a century and they haven’t even gotten rid of wage labor and private property in the means of production when they were in governance. The answer is outside the State. Into mass social revolution, into direct action, into workers being educated and forming worker’s associations. Into participating outside of capitalism and forming socialism via free associations. Have socialist governments all you want, socialism isn’t a political revolution, it is a social and economic revolution.

  4270. Logan Flowers libertarianism is a synonym for anarchism. And it is not moderate. It is radical, it’s anti-statist.

  4277.  @bravecaucasian  no actually. Leftism is anarchism and libertarian socialism... doesn’t get anymore anti-government than that. In fact the first person to call himself anarchist was the socialist Proudhon who said about government: “To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be place[d] under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.” Real Leftists find natural alliance with true classical liberals that actually want limited government. That’s what American conservatism should be about. But since the Federalists there’s been a faction of conservative efforts to undermine and subdue the liberal revolutionary principles of the Republic. Today’s conservative movement is about cultural tyranny, religious fanaticism, State bootlicking looking at law enforcement like they’re the Jedi, and worst of all not republicanism but nationalism. Barry Goldwater tries to warn us: "The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C' and 'D.' Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism.' " --Speech in the US Senate (16 September 1981) "Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them." --Said in November 1994, as quoted in John Dean, Conservatives Without Conscience (2006)

And I've said it before they want security from the cartels that very much are in Mexico and they have connections in most of Latin America. They would be more secure in America from those criminals, and some may potentially be turned back to possible deaths. But they are being denied asylum at all and won't even be processed to see if they will be granted it or not. They are doing something legal, that has been going on for over 15 years. Just Republicans wanted a scapegoat for the elections I saw the footage but they showed a criminal convicted in Bush's administration. They were disingenuous which told me I needed about propaganda. The caravan has lessened and won't be as large as it began by the time any get here, and they would know better than to behave unruly towards the place they seek asylum. US ain't Mexico full of cartels and corrupt cops. And even if they allowed the to go through the asylum process not all would be let in, under Trump I doubt anyone will. So stop your bitching.

  4294. Benjamin Muller Corporatism is the belief that society is best functioning with the harmonious collaboration of corporations (bodies of organization) working with the State to maintain stability and order among the different interest groups. Business corporations are the result of market dominance of businesses, as Capitalism is individual private owners competing for their success in the market. All Capitalist nations have corporations, who have a quod pro quo with government maintaining wealth and power. We’ve never seen Free Market capitalism, and that’s impossible in the post-industrial age. Without the State there is no form of Capitalism, it needs the intervention to maintain private property rights and to prevent a collapse of the system. Conglomerates forming is the natural end result of Capitalist interests to profit from the markets. It’s not feasible to have a perfect market of only small businesses that wouldn’t require massive and strict government interventions. The consumer get attached to brands, big businesses will always thrive as they dominate their market share and become powerful entities. There is no thriving Capitalism without the State. Capitalism was in full force an economic model when government’s granted clear private property laws and protection. The Fascists clearly stated they were for privatization and Capitalism. Big business Corporatism is part of the Capitalist model.

  4296. redd Greene Blue damn I thought you were being genuine in your well wishes. Guess you’re just a triggered little bitch who wouldn’t know true emancipation of the worker if you were offered it. Worker’s cooperatives and associations will always be superior to working for capitalists and getting exploited. Keep licking bourgeois boots wage slave. Our “opposition” to collective bargaining isn’t because it’s bad, we would have the working class have something even better, being a self managed worker, not just an employee.

  4297. redd Greene Blue utopias? Education is so garbage in America. Guess Anarcho-Syndicalist Catalonia was a fantasy. Or maybe Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia would know more as it’s a persoanal eye witness account. Worker’s cooperatives and labor federations have been proposed since capitalism’s infancy and figures like David Ricardo called for the labor theory of value. Free Market Anarchists fought against industrial capitalism spreading in the States threatening the self employed with wage slavery. “Hitherto there has been no alternative for those who lived by their labour, but that of labouring either each for himself alone, or for a master. But the civilizing and improving influences of association, and the efficiency and economy of production on a large scale, may be obtained without dividing the producers into two parties with hostile interests and feelings, the many who do the work being mere servants under the command of the one who supplies the funds, and having no interest of their own in the enterprise except to earn their wages with as little labour as possible. The speculations and discussions of the last fifty years, and the events of the last thirty, are abundantly conclusive on this point. If the improvement which even triumphant military despotism has only retarded, not stopped, shall continue its course, there can be little doubt that the status of hired labourers will gradually tend to confine itself to the description of workpeople whose low moral qualities render them unfit for anything more independent: and that the relation of masters and work-people will be gradually superseded by partnership, in one of two forms: in some cases, association of the labourers with the capitalist; in others, and perhaps finally in all, association of labourers among themselves.” – John Stuart Mill

  4298. redd Greene Blue federations or confederations of worker’s cooperatives and associations, decentralized industrial democracy. These things aren’t new, and the goal is to increase this sector. Worker’s solidarity is not a half way measure, it is for the emancipation of worker’s from capitalism.

  4299. redd Greene Blue yes they fell to Fascists. And no you don’t choose that. The capitalists are the property owners, you could be one, but the vast majority of underclasses don’t have that capital, so rather they come together under their own cooperatives to avoid being exploited. "And, inasmuch [as] most good things are produced by labour, it follows that [all] such things of right belong to those whose labour has produced them. But it has so happened in all ages of the world, that some have laboured, and others have, without labour, enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue. To [secure] to each labourer the whole product of his labour, or as nearly as possible, is a most worthy object of any good government." — Lincoln

The traditionalist conservatives of the Republican Party of Lincoln favored nationalist economics and progress of modernity. They were the party of urbanity, progress, and manufacturers. Indeed Marxists supported the Republican Party. Traditionalist Conservatism isn’t social conservatism. Traditionalists concern themselves with the conserving of political institutions, and social orders which in the States, albeit inconsistently, means republicanism and liberalism. Social conservatism arose in rural southern states as conservatism of the southern way of life based in white supremacy and religiosity. Rather illiberal and antithetical to American revolutionary principles.

  4313. 1776 Or take it from “Mr. Conservatism” himself, Barry Goldwater: On the Religious Right "The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C' and 'D.' Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism.' " --Speech in the US Senate (16 September 1981) "Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them." --Said in November 1994, as quoted in John Dean, Conservatives Without Conscience (2006) "I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass." --Said in July 1981 in response to Moral Majority founder Jerry Falwell's opposition to the nomination of Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court, of which Falwell had said, "Every good Christian should be concerned." Time Magazine, (20 July, 1981) On Gay Rights "The big thing is to make this country, along with every other country in the world with a few exceptions, quit discriminating against people just because they're gay. You don't have to agree with it, but they have a constitutional right to be gay. And that's what brings me into it." "Having spent 37 years of my life in the military as a reservist, and never having met a gay in all of that time, and never having even talked about it in all those years, I just thought, why the hell shouldn't they serve? They're American citizens. As long as they're not doing things that are harmful to anyone else... So I came out for it." “Gays and lesbians are a part of every American family. They should not be shortchanged in their efforts to better their lives and serve their communities. As President Clinton likes to say, ‘If you work hard and play by the rules, you’ll be rewarded’ and not with a pink slip just for being gay.” On True Conservatism "What I was talking about[Gay rights, Abortion]was more or less 'conservative,' " Goldwater recalls, saying he was smeared by the people around President Johnson – "the most dishonest man we ever had in the presidency." Goldwater continues: "The oldest philosophy in the world is conservatism, and I go clear back to the first Greeks. ... When you say 'radical right' today, I think of these moneymaking ventures by fellows like Pat Robertson and others who are trying to take the Republican Party away from the Republican Party, and make a religious organization out of it. If that ever happens, kiss politics goodbye."

  4317.  @DrSanity7777777  "Socialism is not the answer. While capitalism concentrates power in the hands of a few individuals, socialism concentrates power in the state. The solution is to find ways to broaden ownership of capital as widely as possible so that everyone has access to a second stream of income besides wage labor." Isn't that the REAL Socialism? Socialism was to forego the State and worker's collectives would democratically own the means of production and corporations/businesses. Though that appears to be a CNN article so I'm guessing like most they confuse original Socialist ideology with state ownership and command economies. Is that what happened there?

Seeing as Communism is about the abolishment of State and government it does matter more what actions are taken to secure that reality. As a Libertarian Socialist I affirm China is not Communist, they do not practice Socialism as the bureaucracy controls the means of production instead of the workers, and labor exploitation is allowed as well as building classes. And most revealing they function under profit motivation. China isn’t Communist the same way the US isn’t a representative democracy but an oligarchic corporatocracy. Big business ruling is Capitalism, Statist or liberal.

What about anti-capitalist classical liberalism as seen in the doctrines of David Ricardo, Thomas Hodgskin, James Mill, John Stuart Mill, Rousseau etc... How come it’s never brought up that classical liberals never advocated this capitalist system and in fact used the terms capitalist and capitalism as pejorative for a system dominated by business elitist interests and monopolists? How come people talk of Adam Smith and “Wealth of Nations” but never his successors who held the labor theory of value Smith discussed. What about Hodgskin’s “Labor Defended Against the Claims of Capital”? Why is it that whenever someone speaks of Socialism lazy pro-capitalist ideologues immediately conflate it with Soviet Model State Socialism? No one ever does the same with capitalism and claim it’s Fascist Corporatism or Pinochet capitalist dictatorship. And most of all why are people so disingenuous in conflating the market system with the capitalist system. When you know they are separate things. In that market economies do not have to be capitalist. Markets existed long before a system of private property owners accumulating wealth and capital off a class of wage laborers.

  4332.  @brian6speed  lol as a free market anarchist I call BS on that take. Capitalism isn’t a free market or liberal economy, it’s completely prop up by the State to sustain itself with monopolies in land, money, tariffs, and patents. This ensures the usuries of profit, rent, and interest. Capitalism has never been about free competition, but against such a concept. Genuine free markets are a libertarian socialist school and concept.

  4333.  @HarryS77  no I didn’t. You’re going on about universal programs... I’ve never heard of an anarchist supporting government programs. You’re literally defending welfare statism.

    2
  4334.  @HarryS77  I’m not defending Yang’s UBI, I literally said it’s trash. I said a UBI system based on basically Georgism would be more liberal. Georgism is based off classical economics, the precursor of socialism, in which land is recognized as a public resource. And communism isn’t a feasible system until post-scarcity and abundance of wealth is achieved through technological advancements. I also believe it would be inhumane to cut off the poorest from aid, but a system like Georgism, and especially market socialism would better replace those as alternatives. You said markets like they’re anti-socialist. Market socialists have been around since our early philosophers, classical liberals were supportive of socialistic modes of production. Proudhon coined modern Anarchism and he was a market socialist. We’re anti-capitalists not necessarily anti-markets. Well Communists do see a society beyond markets. But don’t make the mistake many leftists do in associating markets with capitalism. We’re against wage slavery and private property as a means of exploitation of labor, not markets themselves. Though many of us do consider a communist system with no need of markets. Ultimately an anarchist society would be diverse full of mutualist, collectivist, communist societies.

  4335.  @schumanhuman  he’s gate keeping. In my reading of both classical liberal and libertarian socialist literature I have seen clear the connection between them. The Physiocrats and Classicists were revolutionary in their geo-liberalism. The fact that most people conflate liberal economics with capitalism do not see the forest for the trees. There’s a reason libertarian market socialists were radical free marketeers. The Classicists gave us labor value theory, common land, and even theories of labor exploitation by capital. Where do they think Marx, a student of classical economics got it from? Then I mention radical liberal John Stuart Mill’s promotion of socialist production, and he thinks me a bourgeois capitalist for it. Despite liberals having questionable social stances, their revolutionary ideals are a boon to free society. Capitalism has never been about free markets, they kicked peasants out the commons for a labor force to sell their labor for wages. Capitalists used the State to their advantage. It’s sad many don’t see how classical liberalism gave way to libertarian socialism. They think socialism is about collective over individual. That’s Fascism. Anarchism is the most radical expression of free individualism and social freedom. We support socialism because it’ll liberate all individuals, not just the property owners. Anarcho-Communists were influenced by the Egoism of Max Stirner. The liberal concept of laissez faire is like our own ideal of the spontaneous order. This is what happens when anarchists are more influenced by Marx than actual libertarians. Anarchists that feel closer to social democrats, which is just liberal corporatism, other than liberal limited government and the free association of society, are confused. Unfortunately they conflate liberalism with capitalism. Even though capitalism has never been about genuine free markets, and not a single capitalist or neoliberal protests the State monopolies of land, money, tariff, and patents. I admit I mistook their comments as support of centralized government programs with the use of “universal programs” but that’s on me. Still calling me liberal cause I rather have a system based on classical liberalism than the State corporo-monopolist system of modern capitalism so long as we have to live under a State is just ignorant. No one expects to abolish the State any time soon. Rather a limited government and liberal State so long as we have one. Libertarianism and the abolishment of the State is a long term goal.

As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen (Muslims); and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan (Mohammedan) nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.”

  4342.  @PatriotUSA1776USA  yeah it tells me the modern Republicans are the legacy of the southern political tradition (once the Democrats). Considering the Republicans of Lincoln descended from the Federalists and favored anti-liberal American school economics, government infrastructure and strengthening American manufacturing through tariffs, were Federal over State, and were the political coalition of urban States, Yankees, and the capitalists and bankers I’d say history tells us the modern Democrats are the political coalition of urban States, government intervention, and national government. Where as the modern Republicans…. well they wave around Confederate paraphernalia so that should hint you as to who are the legacy of those that opposed the Union and Lincoln. The Party of Slavery: well that’s the legacy of the southern political coalitions, the change of name didn’t mean change of politics. They had to be brought kicking and screaming towards progress from slavery and segregation. Infanticide: well the liberal urban states are more in support of the choice of abortion. Violence: well the Northern states did force the South into a Union they didn’t want. I’d say that was wrong, authority and coercion shouldn’t be the answer in free societies. Shame the Confederates didn’t extend that principle to black Americans. But the Civil War proved that there is no federation, but an empire of Federal government ruling over States. Indeed the South were correct on a Confederate structure, wrong in everything else.

  4345.  @mutualistmusings7040  as a matter of fact the Mutualist Proudhon inspired Individualist Free Market Anarchists in the US were convinced that market socialism was closer to Adam Smith’s free enterprise than capitalism. Capitalism was more a Statist and mercantilist industrialism. Classical liberalism was the root of market socialism. Classical liberals developed labor theory of value, and even though they supported private property as good for the economy, they held the common ownership of natural resources and just compensation to the public for privatization of those resources, specifically land. Libertarian market socialists were students of classical economics, and abhorred neoliberalism and the school of capitalism. Neoliberalism is a complete departure from classical liberals, and it holds that nothing is in common, and apparently have no problem with monopolies. Modern capitalism is as bad as the mercantilist monopolists Adam Smith was criticizing in Wealth of Nations.

  4351. Evan Loginov the socioeconomic system makes that possible, as it constitutes the social relations. Take the Free Market Anarchists for example. They advocated a market economy, based on mutual exchange free from all forms of usury, profits, rents, interests and any source of incomes not produced by labor. This done by having Mutual Banks that lend at low rates (so that the Bank may cover it’s expenses). Property being owned by the principle or rule of “Occupancy and Use” etc... There is no fixed human behavior, people are too complicated to pin down. But they are capable of revolutionizing social relations, especially if it increases their autonomy and prosperity. That’s a fact of historical record. Exploitation is a drive of elitism and class social orders, and not everyone is of the higher classes able to exploit.

  4352. Soul Prestigio no they go overseas to exploit cheap labor they won’t get from Americans. You’re literally defending avarice. “They have to move because their exorbitant wealth will be taxed more, they have to abide by laws that protect the consumer and environment, they can’t handle making millions when they could be making billions, they’ll look for cheaper labor if they raise minimum wage!” My gosh that is sad. No wealth should be that concentrated, no humane system allows for wealth to be for a privileged few that get wealthier off worker’s production, who’ll settle for a wage. Democratize the workplace, and give people ownership of the means of production. Social Darwinian sociopathic avarice is not a sustainable economy.

  4353. Soul Prestigio lol. Then why did the internet and computers come from decades of government-military R&D public financed research. Only after all the risks and developments in college campuses were individuals able to privatize the tech. And the public has the privilege of purchasing PC’s from these billion dollar worth companies. Shame the computer scientists that developed the innovations in tech never saw the rewards of the Jobs and Gates of the world. Same thing happening within campuses in the medical field today. Profit doesn’t motivate innovation, just motivates profit. Innovation is driven by proper allocation of resources towards people with talents and abilities in their fields. People having the freedom to follow their skills and passions, and having proper resources that’s how you innovate. Given that innovations have occurred in every period in history. Competition for profits motivates efficiency and cheaper methods, not leaps in the sciences. "I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child. The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow-men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society."

But our infrastructure will have to accommodate. And several places around the world will become inhospitable. This is about preparing for a shifting ecology, not about an apocalyptic scenario. But if nothing is done then it will be a disaster.

  4361. Karen Taylor Climatologists do not speak of a doomsday scenario. The data informs that we have to accommodate our infrastructure accordingly to a shifting ecology. Several places may become inhospitable. Prepare now to avert a global crisis. Politicians fear monger like it’s the end of the world, but that’s their game. But truthfully preparation for the circumstances must be achieved. As well as if nothing is done then things may get worse and then you may have an existential crisis to deal with. But right now it’s about preparing for circumstances and avoiding a worsening of the situation.

Palestinians are not liberals, they’re a religious people, but they aren’t the “colonizers” they were made to make room for an Israeli State and now they’re treated as lesser than wherever Zionist zeal marks its influence. Were it the other way around we’d be criticizing the Palestinians. In fact any political violence from either side should be criticized and condemned.

    2
  4372. Charles Lajoie Modern Liberals/Social Democrats are still liberal capitalists. They just think that private power and inequities of capitalism should be curved some to allow for individual freedom and greater equality of opportunity, so they do intervene and regulate. It’s not laissez faire, but it is liberal capitalism still. You may not be Modern Liberals, but you are still Classical Liberal Capitalists. Libertarianism is anti-Statist snd anti-hierarchy Socialism aka Anarchism.

  4382. Oh I see you believe in the horse shoe theory. Gotcha. I don't believe that BS. Generally the further left the less government. Left of Liberalism is Socialism, Communism, and Anarchism. Anarcho-Capitalism is rejected by any real anarchist as it is full capitalism promoting hierarchical structures, hence not anarchism, opposed to leadership. It's just a market economy feudal state, which Anarchists also oppose any state. The idea of liberalism and social democracy requires the social contract. It is not opposed to government, so long as the people agree to it's organization, limitations, and powers. For example we believe in a representative democracy the government should have the people's interests at heart. Hence why such social programs are not seen as some oppressive institution, so long as it is the will of the people. And in other areas we don't want big government such as military, privacy invasion, drug wars etc... Essentially the good government can do for it's governed by consent. Furthermore the more left you stand the less dependence on a government body for a society in favor of collective interests, most notably the workers where they distribute the goods and needs in workers collectives, or syndicates etc... There's a reason the most left position is Anarchism and the most right Totalitarianism. The general spectrum of political ideologies relies on government bodies and state influence upon the governed. There is the general spectrum where left = less government and right = more government. Then there is the more regional or national spectrums where left = progressive and right = conservative.
    2
  4383.  @Cheeseburger.Launch.Sequence  In America the political spectrum is not the general spectrum. When speaking about nations the spectrum means progressive vs conservative. In the general spectrum everyone in America are left wing liberals. In the American spectrum the right is the more conservative faction and the left the more progressive. Conservative in the American context does not mean Authoritarian, they are liberals that support liberal democracies in the general spectrum. But Conservatism is right wing in the context of keeping things as they are. The further left the more changes one supports to the current system. There is a difference of the general political spectrum and national/regional specific political spectrums. In the US it's social liberalism and classical liberalism.

  4384.  @Philbert-s2c  us genuine libertarians tend to have more objective analysis of history based on economic and state paradigms. We aren’t hurrah the Union, and huzzah the Confederacy! We’re more like they were both authoritarian and statist. One based in chattel slavery; the other in wage slavery. One was stuck in the past, the other ruining the future. Both hindrances to genuine Liberty. My favorite figure of the Civil War period to discuss the issue was our own Lysander Spooner

  4386.  @TheStoneSpiral  Cooperatives are a bit more Left than what I had in mind, but in that model people have to be VERY self-reliant and attend every meeting, and it's tedious but someone has to be very committed to that. I don't think all business should be Cooperatives or the like, but regardless the left is about post-Capitalism and labor empowering. The American political landscape needs to shift towards the left than this right wing lunacy we have. It's so bad people think Bernie is a Socialist/Communist and the Clintons are leftist liberals and to the right they're far left lol American politics are so skewed towards the right

  4390.  Derek Hitt  exposing that private property and profit is the problem. Free market anarchists have been exposing capitalism for the statist system it is since the 19th century. The biggest misconception is that socialism is anti-free markets. No. Socialism in particular libertarian socialism, is about anarchist communism and free market socialism. Free market anarchists were straight out of the classical tradition and they were fare greater radical free marketeers than the capitalists. It’s why they were anti-capitalists and against the State monopolies of land, money, tariff, and patents that prop up the ruling capitalist class. Pierre J Proudhon, Josiah Warren, Benjamin Tucker, Lysander Spooner, Voltarine DeCleyre, William B Greene etc... All anti-capitalists, libertarian socialists, and radical free enterprise enthusiasts that exposed capitalism as statist. Free markets belong on the Left, it’s part of socialist tradition despite what the modern capitalist state has you believing. Even classical liberal economists were anti-capitalists like Thomas Hodgskin and John Stuart Mill, or David Ricardo. Free markets are socialist. Another libertarian socialist market strain is rising and soon the right capitalists can no longer claim they believe in free markets as we agains expose them for the Statists they are.
    2
  4391. Keeping priorities straight by a useless vote that even lame l liberals fall for. This is why historically liberals embolden fascists. We need to clear up the circus. By the way Socialism is the call for a rational industrial society and based on Sociology. It’s literally replacing the government/State for the administration of industry. Last I checked wanting to abolish government is a very libertarian view. This is quite literally starting to look like McCarthyism 2.0

  4393. Eric Hahn So National-Anarchists are more tribalist right? They advocate communes along Separatist and racial and ethnic homogenous lines? Can’t say I’m for that but I tell you something if a group decide to do it that way, say the American South then I would have no issue with it. As long as they’re friendly towards their neighbors, we’re all still comrades. Sounds like some blend of radical left and right ideologies but as long as camaraderie and worker’s solidarity is still around no problem. I’m a Libertarian Socialist myself.

  4395. Eric Hahn These fools are still scared by Cold War Capitalist propaganda. Sure Marxist-Leninists went this crap Authoritarian and Statist route, developed single party rule and State Capitalism but they buy whatever propaganda they’re told. If people like him actually got educated instead of sulking in every establishment and political tribalism talking points they’d know that Left wing libertarianism (Anarchism, Socialism, Communism) is the evolution or next step to liberty and equality of the Classical Liberalism. Only without hierarchies and masters of any kind. True Democratic principles based on voluntary actions and respect for individualism and collectivism which are symbiotic with one another. I always say Liberals like the founders of the USA would have been Socialists and Anarchists had they lived in post-industrial Capitalist times. They saw government as a necessary evil, imagine if they knew of Libertarian left ideologies where social organization is possible without government and hierarchical structures. These fools claim they know freedom yet they live in a Corporatist plutocracy of wealthy elites. They’re brainwashed and fight anything that might help their interests. I’m far form Sander’s political position but he obviously would help the workers and alleviate their suffering under Capitalism some. Yet he’s the enemy, the radical commie, the delusional madman against Americans. Lol the irony of hating those that are helping you. They don’t know.

  4396. Eric Hahn sorry comrade I’m not big on social media. I just have google and YouTube accounts. I’ll be on the look out for fellow comrades though and remember you. I’ll hit you up should I ever get to expanding my social media. For now respect comrade.

  4399.  @declanh2314  with the tribalism I see you can bet some citizens would be on the tyrant's side. These days you don't just fight with soldiers, drone strikes are used immensely. Not to mention guided missiles, and if we're talking about an evil fucker nuclear warfare would sure be a great fear tactic. As in nuke one area to prove that they're willing and resistance is futile. The Continental militia used guerrilla tactics and received French aid. The Brits war with colonialists was just one of many, they were spread throughout the Americas, Africa, and Eurasia. To think their empire were as focused on dealing with a colonial insurrection as a tyrant would be taking power is inaccurate. Red Coats were a force to be reckoned with but spread thinned and battling revolutionaries as army and militias on foreign soil. Regardless modern warfare is completely different. Technology is key. But I see the merits in having an armed citizenry, so it's best we keep military size and power limited enough to defend the nation and not enough to be an imperial power.

  4404. whyamimrpink78 That’s not the far left position, we’re anti-Statists. Social Democrats and Modern Liberals certainly involve government so as to curb the undermining of freedom from post-industrial capitalism and distorted capitalist markets. As for you right wing Capitalists you believe in the ever unquestionable power of big business and capital elites. Yet capitalism is a corruption of free markets of State sanctions and favors on behalf of Capital. Pink once again I must tell you STFU! You know nothing of freedom boogie slave.

  4414. Jefferson was a slave owing racist, but his ideals are the basis of modern leftists and liberal politics, he shouldn’t be rejected so the the right wing can tell their own narrative. A good take on historical figures like Jefferson is both critical and apprehensive to the historical record and facts
    2
  4415. Libertarian Capitalist yeah no. There’s a reason Anarchists are historically anti-Capitalists. The word Libertarian itself was coined as a synonym for anti-Authority and anti-Capitalist. Capitalism is a hierarchical system. It creates a wealthy class of private owners that are above the working class. The creation of classes, disparities in equality, and coerciveness upon the individual is why AnCaps aren’t anarchists. Anarchism dismantles all forms of oppression, coercion, hierarchy, and masters. We eradicate classes, not create them. Capitalism itself is also tied to the State. Historically Capitalists are abed with State powers to maintain the status quo of wealth and power. In Europe Capitalists supported Fascists over the workers movements such as Marxists and Communists. They follow stability and anyone who’ll protect their interests and private property. Capitalism originated with British law giving and protecting private property. It is what it is. I’m Anarcho-Syndicalist. Though I see merits in other commune types of organizations like Communalism, Anarcho-Communism, and even a bit of Mutualism maybe.

  4418. Jose Mendoza and not for the reasons you think. Marxist-Leninism makes use of right wing forms of government (authoritarian dictatorship, single party rule), and State Capitalism is still Capitalism. Left wing Communism is Communism as properly defined. A stateless, classless socioeconomic condition where the factors of production and production are owned collectively.

  4421. Jim Braatz So I, a Libertarian Socialist Anarcho-Syndicalist equates Socialism to State control..... Yeah no. Socialism isn’t inherently anti-markets, it is anti-capitalist. Proudhonist Mutualism, Individualist Market Anarchism are Socialist market-oriented economic schools. A Libertarian Socialist is either for some form of Market Socialism, or altogether Anarcho-Communist which would be rid of markets. Socialism as a socioeconomic ideology is advocate of equal distribution of the factors of production, classless society, and end of exploitation of labor. Throughout it’s history there have been supporters of markets, and as well as communists. Just as there have been libertarians and authoritarians.

Such as letting Covidien monopolize markets and purchasing the patents of a more efficient and economic ventilator product that was set for mass production until it was bought out by monopolists just to avoid competition. Or government avoiding warnings of an outbreak for years and not preparing for it. This was a known threat as far back as 2017.

These Social Democratic liberals want regulations and reforms that’ll allow more equality of opportunity and to negate corporate power.

Modern liberalism is a result of disparities created by unfettered Capitalism. So how do you fix it? Move on from Capitalism. You’ll find Socialist Markets less garbage.

    2
  4469. Lady G progressives are welfare statists and capitalists reformers. They basically support everything most other developed nations have or what this country itself had during FDR’s administration. I myself am a far leftist libertarian socialist (anarchist). We support the abolishment of the State, workers autonomy, agro-industrial syndicate federation, and free market socialism or libertarian communism (not to be confused with Marxist-Leninism). I don’t know why the left-right thing got so out of whack but historically it’s left wingers that support greater freedom and egalitarianism. Right wingers authority and hierarchy. The social democrats support centrist right reformation at best and aren’t that radical. I can link a video better explaining how ridiculous American notions of left-right have gotten.
    2
  4470. jim bob silly bob. Fascism is the most extreme right wing populism. It is based on the supremacy of the nation-state. Nationalism is everything and Fascists believe the State is the will of the nation. Yes it’s elitism, hierarchic, and Statist, but from the far right perspective populist and anti-liberal capitalism. Fascists seek the Corporative State, the closest you get to a human hive mind. It seeks to harmonize all social and industrial interests under a Corporate system of collective bargaining among interests. Fascism is against liberalism, socialism, and democracy. They don’t like liberal capitalism in that the capitalist has more loyalty to class and self interest than the nation, so under Fascism the capitalist is made to serve the national State agenda. Fascism is full blown collectivism. Fascists are actually against the bourgeois culture and believe financing is a Jewish conspiracy to control nations. And Nazism is national racism based in racial ideology. It’s more focused on ethnics and eugenics than Italian Fascism. Again right wing populism is based in nationalism, chauvinism, xenophobia, and anti-immigration. It says the problem is foreigners and for the nation to get better it must exclude them. That any welfare is only for nationals. And that instead of class struggle, classes must collaborate with each other. So they crack down on labor unions. As opposed to socialism which actually seeks the liberation of all individuals by achieving a world without states and global worker solidarity. As well as the free association of producers. Biggest Orwellian lie is that Socialism is Statist and collectivist. Tell that to the anarchists. George Orwell himself admires anarchism and was a Democratic Socialist. It’s why we hate each other. Fascism is literally antithetical fo everything socialist. The most extreme polar opposites. Socialists want an anarchist world. Fascists want a social darwinian nation-state world and national supremacy. Socialists want a world of free individuals, free associations. Fascists want State control and collectivism for the supremacy of the State.

Ever wondered why Southern States are now Republicans? Because there was an ideological shift, and the conservative South whether Democrats or Republicans were conservative. They took reigns of the Republican Party after the Democratic Party moves towards Keynesianism and social progressivism. You know it’s bullshit when in reality Lincoln’s Party was the party of modernization, urbanization, Northern industrialists, and economic nationalism. Republicans were National Federalists, they believed in Federal supremacy. None of that describes the modern Republicans. The country was always ideologically divided in the urban North and rural South.

  4477.  @reasonerenlightened2456  you’re conflating capitalist markets with socialist markets which aren’t based in capital wealth, but in LTV and labor exchange for labor. The first school of anarchism was Mutualism, a free market economics school. And it’s been advanced in modern libertarian market anti-capitalism. Socialism is the solution to the social and economic problem. It is not everyone and everything the same and equal. Not even communists like Marx believed in equality of everyone. Since individuals are distinguished in their own capabilities

  4478.  @jvd3339  sociocultural issues aren’t left issues. Left wing means lesser hierarchical authorities, right wing means more. It’s been that since the French National Assembly in the Revolution. Leftists were the radical liberals, rightists were the monarchists, nobility, and clergy. One can be socially conservative and be a leftist, so long as they aren’t trying to coerce others to their social views via government authority. And vice versa. Neoliberals for example try to legislate morality which is a right wing thing to do, same with Christian fundamentalists that would prevent gay marriage. I’m far left which makes me civic libertarian, and economically libertarian socialist. I haven’t seen a single news media express the view of anarchists, Marxists, and other socialists. Where’s our anti-statist views?

What they achieve is called State Capitalism and State Socialism. Democratic Socialism is politically liberal or Republican, and socioeconomically Socialist. Several socialists agree to Market Socialism, but all are anti-capitalist. The market economy is not synonymous with the system of capitalism, private owners accumulating wealth and capital. Socialism is either Statist, Democratic, or libertarian. It can be authoritarian, liberal, or anarchist. Like capitalism, liberal democracies have liberal capitalism, Fascist States has Corporate Capitalism, and dictators like Pinochet in Chile protected private interests and capitalism

  4485. More and more society is no wing from traditional notions of family and sexual relationships. Marriage is more of a civil union and people realize that love and your heart aren’t ties to anyone person, realistically we’ll have as many intimate relations as we’re open to. Tying down the knot is more of a socioeconomic issue, and every generation erodes the norms. Marriage will never go away, but it will definitely transform and people are more fluid in how they approach sexual and intimate relationships.

  4486. I think it’s time the political Left return to their roots of decentralization and federation. Just cause State’s have more autonomy doesn’t mean regression, in fact liberal states would be far better off as they’re the hub of central commerce, industry, and culture. The consolidation of federal powers is what has lead us to this period of gridlock, doing nothing for climate crisis, and overreaching unitary state where national government and politics is this large behemoth that decides all our rights and liberties. State’s rights historically being an excuse for State’s tyranny doesn’t mean there isn’t merit in decentralization. Historically the forces of Federal enlargement has been capitalist-industrialist agenda to consolidate markets and foster the proletariat class of wage workers. The Left needs to look to it’s libertarian roots and not fear political decentralization but embrace it. Yes there will be reactionaries trying to take control of the constituent States, but we see this now in the Federal government. Don’t fear opposition, challenge them, and make all States of the Union more progressive with every generation. Of course the more liberal and progressive states would challenge the regressive and reactionary policies from any conservative states, and the citizens of each state will also fight for progress under any circumstances. We can’t allow authority to be vested in one locale, one large government, one imperial power. The American empire starts at home, making the national everything and the locale nothing.

They still have imperial aspirations and superiority complex. Within the empire the goal is to rise through might. Fire Nation is driven by rage and ambition in the time of Aang. Better are those like Iroh and later Zuko who respect life and use passion instead. The Fire Nation was first to industrialize and are technologically based due to their fire element as well.

  4500. Considering Jefferson thought freedom belonged to every living generation, not the rules set by generations long dead, and as a liberal believed society and government will change along with scientific advancements and the times I’d say Jefferson himself would understand. Thomas Jefferson did not live up to his own ideals of liberalism and democracy; but he at some level knew he was on the wrong side of history. His social status and fear of losing the American Union gave way to his own misgivings on slavery. History shall judge him accordingly. Also Jefferson would vehemently be opposed to religious fanaticism entering the spheres of political influence. Jefferson may have agreed with this generation, and live with the shame of being on the wrong side of history.

  4501. Monique Lestine The NRA’s main mission is to fight any possible restriction on guns, the solution to every instance of gun violence is to arm more people, anyone who says anything else is part of a global conspiracy to disarm everyone, nothing else matters very much and, oh, by the way, they need your money. The NRA, once “the premier firearms education organization in the world” is not performing its traditional educational role of elevating the discussion and advancing the interests of all gun owners. Despite solid social science and opinion research on everything from how guns should be sold, owned, stored and carried to how and when convicted felons should have their rights restored, the NRA has but one answer to every debate on gun ownership — more of it, with no restrictions. And then there are their answers to every incident of gun violence: Send thoughts and prayers, plus this wouldn’t have happened if the victims had been properly armed — but let’s not let those who question unlimited gun ownership politicize a tragedy. Furthermore, the NRA has abandoned its traditional role of representing all kinds of gun owners on all sorts of issues involving gun ownership. Where the organization was once bipartisan, bringing together a large coalition of Republicans and Democrats to protect and advance the interests of all gun owners, their advocacy today is almost entirely limited to helping Republicans. In the 2018 election, 99 percent of NRA support went to GOP candidates, making the NRA a de facto wing of the Republican Party. In a stark contrast to its current bloodthirsty propagandizing, the NRA was once a firm proponent of gun control, and was a key component of the passage of 1934’s National Firearms Act, which imposed restrictions on machine guns. That began to change in the 1960s; the NRA continued to support gun control, but its members — who had begun buying guns more for protection than for hunting — started to protest. The shift crystallized in 1977 with the ascent of Harlon Carter, a former immigration agent who’d killed a Mexican teenager in his youth and went on to shape what still fraudulently insists on referring to itself as “the oldest civil rights organization in the country” in his racist image. Now the NRA’s insistence that it fights for the civil rights of legal gun owners rings hollow. Lest we forget, Philando Castile — a legal gun owner — was still killed by cops, inches from his partner and child. He’d informed them that he was carrying, and it proved to be a death sentence.

My ultimate point the State kills Dr. King, Malcolm, Fred Hampton etc… Donald Trump still lives and you expect me to think he’s a threat to the State? He’s their tool and stooge

  4508.  @NewNormalWorldOrder  way to go “white genocide” that proves you are indoctrinated by far right conspiracy which historically means tools for the State. It also means you believe in racial hierarchies which is fundamentally authoritarian and you still believe in social classifications created by imperial interests. The State uses far right extremists to fight far left threats to the State. Because right wing means not revolution but conservatism, they help the State. They use right wing domestic terrorism to enlarge the security State, as people give up their liberties for security. This is the pawn role of far right extremists. Case and point there wasn’t severe action taken against the rioters in DC, they let them in and now use those useful morons to strengthen the security State. Whereas they feared the multiethnic riots and protests of the last summer seen clearly by the reaction of police State against the protesters of BLM. Notice they feared actual police reform and that their authoritarian militarized tools will be taken away so they reacted swiftly. That’s how they treat threats to the system. Whereas the all white conservative rioters (sent by Trump as stooges) got a slap on the wrist for breaking into the FREAKING CAPITOL?!!! That was coordinated and planned.

The SC just screwed them over by turning the issue to the political process, an issue in which they are in the minority.

  4525.  @NewNormalWorldOrder  it’s not a double standard considering Conservatism has been replaced by Regressivism and reactionary extremists. The Republicans are not upholding the principles of Classical Conservatism, nationalism and religious fundamentalism isn’t Conservatism. Classical Conservatism stems from Burkean political philosophy and American Traditionalism in particular stems from Federalism (Hamilton-Adams). Real Conservatives are lamenting their alliance with social conservatives, as they have replaced genuine Traditionalism for their regressive zealotry. Barry Goldwater aka Mr. Conservative warned the country of what would happen if these extremist regressives were to take control of the Republican Party. "The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C' and 'D.' Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism.' " --Speech in the US Senate (16 September 1981) "Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them." --Said in November 1994, as quoted in John Dean, Conservatives Without Conscience (2006) "The big thing is to make this country, along with every other country in the world with a few exceptions, quit discriminating against people just because they're gay. You don't have to agree with it, but they have a constitutional right to be gay. And that's what brings me into it." "Having spent 37 years of my life in the military as a reservist, and never having met a gay in all of that time, and never having even talked about it in all those years, I just thought, why the hell shouldn't they serve? They're American citizens. As long as they're not doing things that are harmful to anyone else... So I came out for it." “Gays and lesbians are a part of every American family. They should not be shortchanged in their efforts to better their lives and serve their communities. As President Clinton likes to say, ‘If you work hard and play by the rules, you’ll be rewarded’ and not with a pink slip just for being gay.” "What I was talking about[Gay rights, Abortion]was more or less 'conservative,' " Goldwater recalls, saying he was smeared by the people around President Johnson – "the most dishonest man we ever had in the presidency." Goldwater continues: "The oldest philosophy in the world is conservatism, and I go clear back to the first Greeks. ... When you say 'radical right' today, I think of these moneymaking ventures by fellows like Pat Robertson and others who are trying to take the Republican Party away from the Republican Party, and make a religious organization out of it. If that ever happens, kiss politics goodbye."

  4527. caldweab At one point in time Democratic Socialism and Social Democracy were synonymous. Marx coined “Social Democracy” when he was criticizing a Democratic Socialist Party, for being lead too much by bourgeois interests, and the German translation came out as Social Democrats. At one point Social Democratic parties abandoned it’s Marxist roots and became more attuned to Social Liberalism, and not looking for a post-Capitalist system, but reforms and welfare of it. They remain Capitalist Social Liberals seeking to alleviate the disparities of Capitalism. Now they are distinguished from Democratic Socialism. I did explain somewhere on these comments that DemSocs and once SocDems were Marxists who sought the evolutionary method instead of revolutionary coup. That they hold to democratic principles and parliamentary methods. Marx himself believed this was a possible way for the proletariat to grab the State in the more developed nations. But the roots of Social Democracy does not negate the fact that they abandoned the Socialist cause of a post-Capitalist society over reforms and regulations. That’s not at all what Marx had in mind. Socialism as varied it may be in schools of thought remains constant in it’s insistence on reaching for classless societies where the social collective own the means of production. Social Democracy does not look beyond Capitalism since Bernstein’s philosophy and the like.

  4529. Leo D That was such a sad and half assed argument. Who equates a child’s lemon stand to private property in the Capitalist understanding. They aren’t employing anyone nor are they in actual possession of land. Anarchists define “private property” (or just “property,” for short) as state-protected monopolies of certain objects or privileges which are used to control and exploit others. “Possession,” on the other hand, is ownership of things that are not used to exploit others (e.g. a car, a refrigerator, a toothbrush, etc.). Thus many things can be considered as either property or possessions depending on how they are used. To summarise, anarchists are in favour of the kind of property which “cannot be used to exploit another — those kinds of personal possessions which we accumulate from childhood and which become part of our lives.” We are opposed to the kind of property “which can be used only to exploit people — land and buildings, instruments of production and distribution, raw materials and manufactured articles, money and capital.” [Nicholas Walter, About Anarchism, p. 40] As a rule of thumb, anarchists oppose those forms of property which are owned by a few people but which are used by others. This leads to the former controlling the latter and using them to produce a surplus for them (either directly, as in the case of a employee, or indirectly, in the case of a tenant). The key is that “possession” is rooted in the concept of “use rights” or “usufruct” while “private property” is rooted in a divorce between the users and ownership. For example, a house that one lives in is a possession, whereas if one rents it to someone else at a profit it becomes property. Similarly, if one uses a saw to make a living as a self-employed carpenter, the saw is a possession; whereas if one employs others at wages to use the saw for one’s own profit, it is property. Needless to say, a capitalist workplace, where the workers are ordered about by a boss, is an example of “property” while a co-operative, where the workers manage their own work, is an example of “possession.”

They had capable intellectuals and leaders that lead the people. Their history allowed them to develop and progress. Many interactions violent and diplomatic.

The problem here is Bernie is not nearly as left as you are. But before Socialism becomes appealing at any capacity you'll have to transition further left in the first place. It'd be far easier for a Socialist not to seem crazy in a country long leaning left like the Nordic nations. US definitely ain't ready for your ideas. First we have to shift the political landscape to the left rather than this right wing lunacy we've lived under for decades. Of course you find Bernie problematic, in any other developed nation he's be a moderate or center-left. Chillax man, we first got to focus on the here and now. If anything Bernie should be the most agreeable politician for you, he's not a Socialist but he's far better for your ideology than every other politician in America.

Orwell was against authoritarianism, State Socialism, and tyranny; but wasn’t an anti-socialist. “Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.” George Orwell, “Why I write” p. 394 “And the only regime which, in the long run, will dare to permit freedom of speech is a socialist regime. If Fascism triumphs I am finished as a writer — that is to say, finished in my only effective capacity. That of itself would be a sufficient reason for joining a socialist party.” – George Orwell, “Why I Joined the Independent Labour Party” “Socialism means a classless society, or it means nothing at all. And it was here that those few months in the militia were valuable to me. For the Spanish militias, while they lasted, were a sort of microcosm of a classless society. In that community where no one was on the make, where there was a shortage of everything but no privilege and no bootlicking, one got, perhaps, a crude forecast of what the opening stages of socialism might be like. And, after all, instead of disillusioning me it deeply attracted me. The effect was to make my desire to see socialism established much more actual than it had been before.” George Orwell, ‘Homage to Catalonia’ Nice try Prager U. Appropriation of more leftist literature for the capitalist right.

  4556. Eww, Sorelianism was influential to Fascism. That nationalist crap has no place in revolutionary syndicalism
    2
  4557. Kekistani Patriot Sorelianism is the definition of nationalist syndicalism and added integral nationalist right wing ideology as well. It is opposed to the original leftist anarchist syndicalism which sought solidarity of the workers, whereas Sorel would go a nationalist agenda route. The far left and far right had the same desire to be rid of bourgeois capitalism, but the left is anti-statist whereas the right is nationalist and Statist. Sorel started off Marxist and went right wing. However I see the original revolutionary syndicalism in the anarchist philosophy of Pierre Joesph Proudhon. The influence on Anarchist Communists and Free Market Mutualists. Is the IWW still an Anarcho-Syndicalist organization or has it become moderate and third party? Socialism isn’t supposed to be nationalist as it defeats the purpose of anti-statism. Nationalism is a collectivist ideal that limits individual autonomy. Serves as a distraction to dull the masses with myths and symbolism. Fascism was syndicalism taking to integral nationalist ideology and incorporating all interests of the Fascii/Syndicates/Corporations within the State

  4564.  @stoopidhoomons pretty sure the republic was founded by criminals breaking the law tired of their perceived oppressions by tyrants. As a matter of fact violence is just a tool and can be used for any reasons. The State’s monopoly on violence has you believing what is and isn’t proper violence and indoctrinated us who is deserving of punishment and isn’t. As Stirner wrote “The State calls the violence of individuals crime, but it’s own law” That CEO has more blood on his hands than this guy, and our government seems to care more about one elitist’s life than the hundreds and thousands of civilians in Gaza being murdered with our arms.

  4571. Flightof2Owls yeah but their State Socialism only gave way to oligarchy of capitalists. And they were too Statist, the criticism the left has of Marxism-Leninism. Not to mention they failed at achieving communism. So I’m not impressed in how successful a revolution Marxist-Leninists have. The libertarian revolutions were weaker and more short lived, but better a model. Worker’s should be emancipated not suppressed to an elite Vanguard party and bureaucracy. Anarchists like Bakunin predicted the result of Marxist authoritarianism to a tee, decades before the Bolshevik Revolution.

  4580. Single payer is just nationalized health insurance. Like it’s not State control of medical centers, procedures, medicine, and medics. It’s public funding of medical treatment. The system with the most government influence is the British NHS. Wherein not only is health insurance nationalized, but medical institutions are as well. Government officials run the hospitals and medics are approved by government. And yet they rank highest. The US doesn’t need to go into that kind of system, but single payer would benefit all Americans. It is far better (and humane) than corporate health insurance. Even as someone who believes there are better alternatives to Medicare 4 All (as a libertarian socialist), I can recognize it would be far better than our current system.

  4581. Krystal is confused. She is ranting against Corporatocracy which she calls corporatism. But she’s the actual liberal corporatist, which is what the New Deal was. As a libertarian socialist hell no big government isn’t the answer it’s the problem. Big government solving the capitalist problem is like curing a disease by injecting it’s origins. Government is why corporations and capitalism is sustained.

  4584. Paul Dygert I keep wondering why Kyle and Mike from Humanist Report aren’t real post-Capitalist Democratic Socialists at least.

  4585.  @KatInHerKat  you're right
    2
  4586.  @LittleAl016  not really. Considering classical liberalism was pro-free markets and the communalization of land value. Classical liberals like Adam Smith gave infamous rants against landlords, Thomas Hodgskin and John Stuart Mill supported socialist production, David Ricardo was influential to socialists like Karl Marx. Eventually a reactionary coalition of landowners, industrial monopolists, and politicians pushed for neoclassical paradigms to take over economic policy in favor of monopolies, and what we call industrial capitalism. This is why early libertarian socialists who were favorable to free markets, were anti-capitalists. Classical libertarianism was rooted in classical liberalism. Though I agree that modern neoliberalism comes from neoclassicism, and the capitalist system. Politically however liberalism means limited government and individual rights and liberties; which socialists would further radicalize into anarchism or libertarianism, the abolition of State.

  4593. Steven Crowder isn’t wrong, however just remember that rebellion and revolution is the history of the Left. American revolutionaries were the Left of their time, and they were liberals, for all their flaws. Right wingers don’t want rebellion, they only rebel when society and the world is progressing and they’re getting left behind. Do not forget the history of the Left. We change the world, we want progress, we rebel against conservative status quo and traditional hierarchies. This republic was found by radical to moderate liberal republicans.

  4602. Jamie McGuinness I have to disagree. Sanders’ policies are not just practical but reasonable and true to the ideals of the enlightenment. His policies are basically bringing the US to the level of contemporary first world nations. He’s the most honorable politician, the poorest and not beholden to corporate interests. I don’t know if you’re new to this channel but try sticking around, maybe you’ll see more where progressives come from. Funny thing is politics in America are so skewed to the right Bernie is seen as some radical leftist commie. Other nations would see him more centrist on their political landscape.

  4603. Bookman He overestimates the generosity of capitalists. It’s pretty much proven the wealthy save money they don’t spend it. If the 1% were generous enough to provide great charitable works, improve infrastructures, build public institutions etc... well that would be something to see. Free market (laissez-faire) might be able to work if all the capitalists gave a lot of their capital to society, but be real they are more greedy than generous. Not that religious but even Jesus showed his knowledge of this: “It’s easier for a wealthy man to go through the hole of pin needle than for them to go through the gates of heaven” or something to that effect.

  4611.  Derek Hitt  As Murray Bookchin makes clear regarding pre-capitalist society: “Unknown in the 1640s, the non-bourgeois aspects of Locke’s theories were very much in the air a century and a half later ... [In an artisan/peasant society] a Lockean argument could be used as effectively against the merchants ... to whom the farmers were indebted, as it could against the King [or the State]. Nor did the small proprietors of America ever quite lose sight of the view that attempts to seize their farmsteads and possessions for unpaid debts were a violation of their ‘natural rights,’ and from the 1770s until as late as the 1930s they took up arms to keep merchants and bankers from dispossessing them from land they or their ancestors had wrestled from ‘nature’ by virtue of their own labour. The notion that property was sacred was thus highly elastic: it could be used as effectively by pre-capitalist strata to hold on to their property as it could by capitalists strata to expand their holdings.”

  4612. spitchill as a matter of fact Zionism has a history before Theodore Herzl. There are examples of Christian Zionism, around British elites and elsewhere in the Christian world, that believed in the scripture of Revelation and that God will return when the Jews return to their homeland. Zionism is prophecy confirmed to evangelists and Christian fundamentalists, therefore they are supportive of the nation-state of Israel. Those roots go way back, and certain Christian factions have long awaited and welcome the Revelation and Christ’s return. Jews back in Israel or Palestine is an important feature of such beliefs.

The fact that Ana whitewashed the history of Civil Rights, claiming being peaceful and beat up won the culture…. Dr. King was hated by the majority of America in his time and even liberal moderates thought he was a troublemaker that should just get out of the public view. Stonewall riots? The origin of the LGBTQ civil rights movement was a struggle against police. She’s pulling People’s Party BS. She has also been calling out leftist as too radicals. Yes Ana, leftists are anti-capitalist socialists and have always been more radical than progressive liberals/SocDems like you and Cenk… what’s the problem? Oh yeah you found an issue your reactionary on and because of the backlash you’re going to move further right because you can’t stand with the right side of history.

Or maybe even economically a Geoist.

  4634. Eric Duprey There are Socialist Markets or Anarchists Markets that don’t require anything from a State. In fact true enough Socialism that isn’t Statist has no need for the State, and Anarchists don’t even believe in the State. Enlightenment thinkers like Adam Smith and David Ricardo influenced a Socialist strain of economists. Their conclusion wasn’t the Capitalist one, but an economy based on collectivized industry, workplace democracy and such facets of Socialism. Market economy (laissez faire) is not synonymous with the Capitalist mode of production.
    2
  4635. Jeremy Chase I’m with you comrade
    2
  4636. Eric Duprey First off I’m not saying Anarchists would coerce Capitalist communities to end it. We just don’t accept and never have accepted Capitalism as Anarchist. Anarchy is without rulers, the dismantling of all unjustified hierarchies or vertical relations. It’s not just no State or government. It’s self-autonomy and horizontal structures. If you’re for a free market that’s possible in any anarchist society that wants free exchange. But Capitalism isn’t synonymous with a Market Economy. It’s one form of a market economy. One that relies of wage labor (an underclass), private ownership, and commodity production for profit. These factors have made Anarchists anti-Capitalist, not anti-markets. It’s not like we would fight you for being Capitalist, we just won’t accept any Capitalist community as being Anarchist. Having a boss in the workplace is not compatible with the “no masters” principle of Anarchism, either is class distinctions. Again had worker’s the chance they’d be their own boss in the workplace, and want all the rewards they deserve for their labor not just a minimal wage and the rest accumulated by the boss. And yes Anarchy is about self-organization, autonomy, and free associations. So long as relations are horizontal, decentralized, and not coercive. As an Anarcho-Syndicalist we organize in Syndicates in decentralized networks and federal for larger areas.

  4640. True reparations won’t happen until the State that oppresses and exploits black Americans is abolished. If the government ever does the usual reparations best believe it’ll be working people,black Americans, and ADOS who will be made to pay for it. Because it was the State, and the elite ruling class that benefitted from slavery, it is only proper that the ruling elite pay for reparations. If not than the government just playing you for suckers. You pay taxes to the State that oppresses you, and you won’t be free until that State is over with. This kind of reparations of one time payment for one generation ain’t going to do anything but help the exploitative capitalist system. That money is going right back into economic circulation. What descendants of slaves need is the fostering of proper wealth and capital distribution. As well as addressing the modern slavery of the industrial-prison complex.

  4644. EarthToday sounds like Jesus and early christian were anarchist communists. In fact early christian sects were. Only idiots that bought the propaganda believe communism means state redistribution. Communism means a stateless, classless society where people pool their labor together for free distribution by need. Religion used to reject the usury of charging interest and profit. Pretty sure Jesus’ ideal society isn’t one based in greed, profit, and materialism. But of community, brotherhood, and pious living. Devotion to God and humanity. Acts 2:44-45, "All who believed were together and had all things in common; 45 they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need." Acts 4:32-35, "Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common. ... 34 There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold. 35 They laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need." Revisionist history indeed. I wonder why no one talks of Christian socialism and its history anymore. The Pledge of Allegiance was written by a Christian socialist. And many Christians have been anarchist communists. Libertarian socialism or Anarchism is the anti-statist branch of socialism. The only anti-stats position. Because socialism is about a world with states or classes, but of free autonomous communes or societies. It’s amazing how the propaganda has made people believe socialism is synonymous with state control. That’s a Marxist tradition. Their goal is for the proletariat to take control of the state to defeat capitalist forces. But even their goal is achieving communism, the abolishment of state. The difference is anarchist think that counter revolutionary for a revolution that seeks to dismantle statism.

  4645. Here’s the thing, unions and labor organization is left wing. There’s a misconception of left wing meaning social progressive and right wing meaning conservative. No! Left wing means less authority and greater equality. Right wing means greater authority and hierarchy. Ever since the origins of left-right in the French National Assembly. Yes you can be progressive or conservative but left wing. And labor power was fundamentally a socialist revolution. Labor sought to end land monopoly, abolish usuries of rent, profit, and interest. To emancipate labor from capital. To destroy capitalism for either Syndicalist communism or market socialism as the long game. Receiving benefits short game. The IWW, socialist parties, communist parties, Knights of Labor etc... socialism was the battle cry of ending wage slavery. It’s amazing how this history is distorted and unknown today.

  4649. H. A. R. D Again the Hellenistic civilization was colonialism. Much imperial expansion is. But the reason Hellenistic civilization is important is the philosophies that focused on reason and logic. Persians had no such thoughts I believe. However Zoroastrianism was a religion that was universal and did not discriminate as it was more a individualistic faith. The Persian Empire was not bad, there have been worse. But Hellenistic civilization wasn’t bad for the world either. Greeks did have a superiority complex, but Alexander himself did not think less of his conquered people. He respected them, Cyrus was an inspiration to him. It was his generals that saw others as barbarians not equal to their overlords. Things may have been different had Alexander lived long enough to consolidate his empire. He was integrating Asians to his army, arranging for cosmopolitan cities throughout the empire. He even killed some viceroys when he found out of their abuse of the subjects. He left capable Satraps in their post if they but be loyal to his rulership. The Egyptians were so happy to be out of Persian rule they accepted Alexander, a foreigner as Pharaoh. He was one of the more tolerable rulers of antiquity. We’ll never know if he would have been a capable administrator, but he did accomplish much to be a legendary celebrity. In the end the kingdoms of his Macedonian generals were not as tolerant to Asians as he was.
    2
  4650. H. A. R. D Both civilizations had pros and cons. I see Alexander as the same as Cyrus, great conquerors, unknown administrators. It was Darius I that consolidated Persian administration. Persepolis burned to avoid a rebellion hub and retaliation for Xerxes’ burning of Athens and the Acropolis. To say one was undoubtedly the superior civilization is just conjecture on how you view their influences. I believe the influence of civilizations compound throughout the years and not Persian and Hellenistic empires had much to offer development. However I have particular like for Greek culture and I’ll just leave it with a great quote a Spartan told a Persian who was baffled the Greeks would raise up arms against the benign rule this emperor: “You understand how to be a slave, but you know nothing of freedom. Had you tasted it, you would advise us to fight not only spears but with axes.” If you think a concentrated empire that united many nations was a more beneficial state for people then the Persian empire would be better. If you think the preservation of ideals of freedom and individual achievement were a better state of being then you’ll side with Greeks persevering and maintaining their autonomy or Alexander allowing this culture to flourish around the known world. I however respect and condemn both wherever appropriate, as with any other state in history. Both had much to offer and has influenced later civilizations though.

That means you must also love immigrants because you were immigrants... “ Deuteronomy 10:17-19 “Don’t take advantage of poor or needy workers, whether they are fellow Israelites or immigrants who live in your land or your cities.” Deuteronomy 24:14 “Give justice to the weak and the fatherless, maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” Psalms 82:3-4 New Testament: “All who believed were together and had all things in common, and they sold their possessions and goods and divided them among all men, as every man had need.” Acts 2:44-45 “And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul; neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.” Acts 4:32 “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you posses and give to the poor.” Matthew 19:21 “When you give a feast, invite the poor, maimed, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you.” Luke 14:13-14 “Distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.” Acts 4:35 Oh well look at that it seems God and Jesus are not opposed to socialist communities. If you’re to take your scriptures literally I mean...

  4666. Johnny J the doomsday clock has never run out given to the fact that it’s constantly in flux. The record would show that bipartisan attempts at addressing the issue from the 70s to 90s by international governments had much to do with it, but they were mild matters of restraining the issue instead of outright attacking it head on. Most felt economic concerns outweighed an infrastructural program. That being said I remember a time when both parties were talking of the issue and addressing it. It wasn’t until the 90s the Republican Party came out with hoax talking points and partisan propaganda to use as political capital. It’s a shame what it has become, no longer a Conservative party but a regressive party. Genuine conservative intellectuals reject the modern Republican Party. Even Barry Goldwater warned of the takeover of the party by the religious right and sycophants that are not interested in politics and compromise.

I’m a radical leftist, an anarchist, and I’ve yet to see which leftists support the corporate hegemony, or monopolies, or government itself. Last I checked leftists world wide have been organizing anti-government protests, anti-globalization protests, and as recent events as Occupy Wall Street, Yellow Jackets, and Anti-fa. The power of corporate hegemony was consolidated under right wing neoliberal powers. In the US that’s both mainstream political parties. Both parties support monopolies, and corporate hegemonies. They even support military adventurism for the interests of these corporations. If you think the pro-big business and pro-free trade globalization parties of the US are “left wing” that’s your ignorant problem. Last I checked leftists have been the only direct challenge and organizers against multinational conglomerates and monopolization of resources https://youtu.be/Q3dvbM6Pias

  4669. Chief Purrfect Personally I think you’re being too narrow minded about the potentiality of this story development. A character you like isn’t getting the ending you prefer, add to that the fact that it’s being badly executed. GRRM is a conscientious objector and anti-war protestor. Or is supposed to be so I don’t know why he endorses Biden. Anyway according to himself he actively hates war, and Daenerys is a character that seeks it due to a complex of entitlement that Mhysa knows best. And her dragons have been described as the equivalent of WMDs. She actively seeks war, so that she can bring about peace, sounds like my country’s government. If this is an anti-war story it makes complete sense that Daenerys the Conqueror turns out an antagonist to the Westerosi. The rich complexity here is that she is the hero of her story. Arguably the aristocracy of Westeros are not better than her, they are elites looking out for self-interests. Daenerys would be a Machiavellian looking out for the greater good, she’d probably kill hundreds to save thousands. Daenerys is a utilitarian through and through, reminiscent of Marxist-Leninists almost. With such interesting potential I fail to see how you think this story would lead no where or not provide a decent enough message. Daenerys certainly is admirable, but we all harbor mistakes and our experiences shape us into something decent or terrible. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that Daenerys might just not be lady Justice incarnated or a paragon of feminine goddess figure. Targaryens themselves resemble privilege, entitlement, and delusions of grandeur or superiority complexes of supremacy. Don’t miss the forest for the trees. But not the show, that’s proving to be a disappointment to any good Daenerys fan, it surely sucks seeing her character development butchered. The show hasn’t earned this development.

  4673.  Accelerationist  it’s because they are individually diverse is why they can unite. The common cause of labor solidarity. If we respect people as individuals they will not fear being socially outcasted. The problem with social conservatism and social progressivism is both attempt to coerce each other’s vision of morality and society. As a libsoc we need to embrace our differences and unite in a goal of free society, free association, and civic libertarianism. Classical leftists understood that individual freedom is a social individualism. The right wing would have little arguments against a left that promoted limited government, and authority. Free markets belong on the anti-capitalist left, where market socialism shows that true freed markets are a socialist model. Imagine the right not even having their false narratives to fall back on. Oligarchic capitalism cannot not stand against free market socialism, and free communism. We must strip them of the false narrative that they believe in limited authority, when that has always been the goal of the Left. All those that genuinely are liberal and Minarchist will oppose the Statist right wing of corporate hegemony, distorted free markets, and class tyranny. People misunderstand that actual leftism is an anti-statist stance in support of free associative societies and classless egalitarianism. It is not collectivist in the sense of the social being superior to individuals, but seeks to free individuals from hierarchy and coercion.

  4676. RealYRM because he’s socially liberal.... literally the only issue liberal capitalists like Bezos differ with Republicans. Economically both parties are capitalist and pro-corporate America. The Republicans with their tax cuts (how much has Bezos and Amazon paid in taxes under Republicans?), supply side trickle down, MIC (foreign wars, regime change coups, privatize foreign markets), and corporate welfare. The Democrats with their neoliberal free trade, bailouts (corporate welfare), and Wall Street support. Democrats also support minimal social programs or welfare that are inheritance from the New Deal, but maintain them as they are and do not add more. The only difference between capitalists like Bezos and Koch are their social attitudes. They don’t stop making vast wealth just cause the party they lean more towards is not in power. They get benefits form both. Fairly certain no monopolist is complaining about the economy under Trump, you see how well they’re doing in stocks and profit during the pandemic. But they hate Trump’s social problems, the social unrest that can cause hurts business, and his blundering idiocracy is exposing their game. They already fear the rising populist sentiments arising, and that soon they’ll once again have to make concessions to provide social stability and calm the unrest. Usually this is done by a period of social democratic reforms as was done during the New Deal to save capitalism.
    2
  4677. No actually you can’t. Capitalism wasn’t defined as a free market economy. Socialists coined the term “capitalism” to call the system of capital monopolies, and land owner monopolies, industrial feudalism. Hence why many of the original libertarian socialists were free market radicals. They saw that free markets leads to socialism, as influenced by the classical liberals. “The economic principles of Modern Socialism are a logical deduction from the principle laid down by Adam Smith in the early chapters of his Wealth of Nations,—namely, that labor is the true measure of price. But Adam Smith, after stating this principle most clearly and concisely, immediately abandoned all further consideration of it to devote himself to showing what actually does measure price, and how, therefore, wealth is at present distributed. Since his day nearly all the political economists have followed his example by confining their function to the description of society as it is, in its industrial and commercial phases. Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be. Half a century or more after Smith enunciated the principle above stated, Socialism picked it up where he had dropped it, and in following it to its logical conclusions, made it the basis of a new economic philosophy.” — Free Market Anarchist, Benjamin Tucker

  4680.  @42tribes  I’m talking about the existence of social classes, the haves and have nots, the proletariats and property owners. This is what sets socialism apart from all other political ideologies, it’s core is eliminating class society for a free associative society without class hierarchy. For that reason Anarchists came from socialism in which they extended the philosophy to the elimination of all hierarchies that divide people. Class, race, nations etc...

  4691.  @jimbob3030  Francis Bellamy had the social conservative attitudes common to his era, but as a nationalist (which meant he was part of the nationalization movement) he advocated for the nationalization of all public utilities. He was also an educator who fought for a national education system that taught children civics, humanities, and the sciences. He was a Christian Socialist, and felt patriotism is doing good for the nation. I myself don’t agree with nationalism, but to the group Francis was a part time of the time nationalism meant an economic democracy as he described it Also Francis Bellamy although a Christian believed vehemently in the separation of Church and State . There was no mention of God in his Pledge, that was added by Eisenhower as anti-communist propaganda.

  4693.  @bearbryant3495  The Pledge of Allegiance was written in August 1892 by the socialist minister Francis Bellamy (1855-1931). It was originally published in The Youth's Companion on September 8, 1892. Bellamy had hoped that the pledge would be used by citizens in any country. In its original form it read: "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." In 1923, the words, "the Flag of the United States of America" were added. In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Bellamy's daughter objected to this alteration.

  4694.  @jimbob3030  national socialism was fascism based on ethno-nationalism, collectivism, and corporatism. Bellamy was more of a St Simonian State Socialist. If what I described sounds like Fascism to you, well you need to learn more about it. Fascism doesn’t support nationalization, but private property. And they also didn’t support separation of Church and State. Bellamy still supported Republican government. The coining of the term “privatization” was initiated in describing the Nazi economic policy. With all that said I agree that Francis Bellamy’s socialism isn’t something I would support or advocate, as I’m more of a libertarian socialist

  4698. When he says the difference between liberal and woke… Is not the liberal principle of sovereignty of the individual or law of equal liberty? So why is he saying a minority group trying to solidify their rights and civil liberties is asking too much. Like Mike says “live and let live.” He’s using the same conservative tactics of “this is a danger to society and will be the downfall of civilization.” When you’re being criticized or receive backlash for something said that is freedom of speech. When you are arrested and prosecuted for criticizing institutions of power that is a violation of free speech principle. Freedom of speech is not a bulwark against public backlash and being ostracized from a professing society for your still conservative views, it is a limit on governmental authority and your right to voice grievances.

  4702. @Louise Heiwood sorry it’s late but go ahead. I didn’t get a notice of your response. Free market anarchism is a libertarian socialist school that stems from Proudhon’s Mutualism and has a history in America called Individualist Anarchism. So basically it is free market socialism. Free market anarchists are anti-capitalists, and though they differ in socioeconomic solutions with fellow communist libertarian socialists, they share solidarity with the anarcho-communists and advocate anti-statism and anti-capitalism. Shouldn’t be confused with right wing “anarcho”-capitalism. Free market anarchism and mutualism are interchangeable terms in many respects. The only difference is free market anarchists focus more on the libertine economics, and traditional mutualism adds more about social structure and organization. It is one and the same anarchist market socialism though. I welcome any questions you have.

  4704. Quorry Raphael they are anti-liberal, anti-democratic, and anti- liberal capitalism. Extreme nationalist and advocacy of political Corporatism. Trump like all Republicans are conservative liberals, they believed in a liberal Republic. That is they believe in limited government, though mostly for economic reasons. The Republicans and Trump may not be paragons of democratic institution, but neither are the Democrats. They both use suppression, gerrymandering, and do nothing to change the electoral and voting system to ensure more democratic participation. Such as ranked choice voting, and population based like in parliament systems. Both parties participate in the winner take all representative democracy. Not as democratic as things should be but they aren’t anti-democracy in total. Trump has nationalist rhetoric but it’s not extreme nationalism. It’s no different from the usual American Exceptionalism crap both Reps and Dems have spewed in the past. And most important Trump is not out here advocating Corporatism. What the US does have is Corporatocracy, the rule of business corporations. However it’s not Corporatism. Corporatism is the belief that society should be divided in interest groups, syndicates, guilds, corporate bodies or fascii. Each field of profession and economic sector have their interest organized “corporations” be it medical, education, business and industry, capital and labor well they collectively bargain their interests regulated by government for the national interest. This seeks to maintain national State unity, stability, and order. This socioeconomic order is not what neoliberal Trump is about. Fascists would be against neoliberalism and globalization. Fascism is the collective over the individual. Extreme nationalism and socioeconomic Corporatism. Trump and Republicans are all about liberal capitalism and corporate neoliberalism. Trump has some mild characteristics that Fascist leaders share, but that’s not incriminating. Fascism is an actual political philosophy not a word to be thrown around willy nilly. The danger with Trump and Democrats is neoliberalism. Fascism is the far right answer to unfettered Capitalism; just as Socialism and Anarchism (libertarian socialism) is the far left answer.

  4705.  @gettuffstudios  no that’s my possession. But land is a common resource, and classical liberalism has the Lockean Proviso. The Earth belongs to people. Hence the classical liberal motto “Free Land, Free People, Free Trade” You see borders and nationalities are just social constructs for hierarchies. We don’t own territories. That’s a collectivist view inherent to nationalism. “As no man made the land, so no man can claim a right of ownership in the land.” — Henry George
    2
  4706.  @gettuffstudios  common resource as in no one owns it. What are you 7? Common resource like air or water. Classical liberalism keeps to the Lockean Proviso: “Nor was this appropriation of any parcel of land, by improving it, any prejudice to any other man, since there was still enough and as good left, and more than the yet unprovided could use. So that, in effect, there was never the less left for others because of his enclosure for himself. For he that leaves as much as another can make use of, does as good as take nothing at all. Nobody could think himself injured by the drinking of another man, though he took a good draught, who had a whole river of the same water left him to quench his thirst. And the case of land and water, where there is enough of both, is perfectly the same.” The classical liberal tradition is clear that land is a common and the right to privatization comes with just compensation due to society for it’s private ownership. This is the liberal ground rent. Ever played Monopoly? Or heard of Georgism, or Thomas Paine’s Agrarian Justice? Thomas Jefferson’s notes on the issue? Classical liberalism holds the LVT as the only just and efficient tax, the value of land, and all others unnecessary and inefficient. Look up the Wikipedia on Georgism. Youtube isn’t allowing links but here’s some educational articles from the Cato Institute about the immigration matter: The Founding Fathers Favored a Liberal Immigration System By David J. Bier Immigration and Naturalization in the Western Tradition By Alex Nowrasteh

  4707.  @gettuffstudios  forgive me for saying, since I believe you come from a genuine place, but that view comes from xenophobic nationalist illiberal indoctrination. The home is your possession, it is your home, and everything in it your property. The land itself isn’t. This doesn’t mean I own your house, but the land is common property. “Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built." — Abraham Lincoln And again just compensation is due to society for anyone that seeks to privatize land itself. Again as Henry George said: “The equal right of all men to the use of land is as clear as their equal right to breathe the air — it is a right proclaimed by the fact of their existence. For we cannot suppose that some men have a right to be in this world, and others no right.” “The tax upon land values is, therefore, the most just and equal of all taxes. It falls only upon those who receive from society a peculiar and valuable benefit, and upon them in proportion to the benefit they receive. It is the taking by the community, for the use of the community, of that value which is the creation of the community. It is the application of the common property to common uses. When all rent is taken by taxation for the needs of the community, then will the equality ordained by Nature be attained. No citizen will have an advantage over any other citizen save as is given by his industry, skill, and intelligence; and each will obtain what he fairly earns. Then, but not till then, will labor get its full reward, and capital its natural return.”

  4708. Brian Schultz nah John Brown has it right. Slavery was illiberal. And Lysander Spooner said it best, the South weren’t traitors to want to secede from a government they no longer wanted. But States Rights were just a ruse for the authoritarianism not of a federal government, but if tyrannical unitary State governments. I also agree with Lysander Spooner that the US constitution is an outdated social compact created by a generation long dead that subsequent generations do not have to adhere to. And he said that in the mid 19th century. Anarchy is Order!

But the biology and genetic research is nuanced and I can’t give a solid opinion on these kinds of issues. But one thing is for certain, trans folk can and should compete, the question of against whom is more nuanced. Maybe it should be based on the individual and their weight classes. 🏳️‍⚧️

  4735. Modern Liberalism and Social Democracy are ok for a more humane capitalist system. But as we’ve seen elsewhere in the world these more moderate approaches fall back to the inequalities inherent to capitalism, where the capital owners and wealthy are in control of sociopolitical power. The answer is Liberal Democratic Socialism. Leftist forms of socialism where workers take the reigns of political institutions and labor federations and confederations revolutionize the socioeconomics into market socialist and decentralize planning models forming an egalitarian and liberal society.

  4743. Professor Eggplant All you described are staples of State Socialism and Marxist-Leninism. You should learn more about the history of socialism, which began in liberal circles. Thomas Hogdskin, John Stuart Mill, David Ricardo etc... provided socialist development. It also ha it’s start in ideas of industrial technocracy. Apart from authoritarian State Socialism like Marxist-Leninism there is: Liberal Socialism such as true Democratic Socialism, evolutionary Marxism. Which is socialism supported by liberal sociopolitical institutions. Democratic system and government. George Orwell is a famous Democratic Socialist. Then there is Libertarian Socialism aka Anarchism. Yes despite the propaganda against socialism, the ideology gave rise to Anarchism, which is the anti-authority and anti-Statist strain of socialism. This includes Individualist Free Market Anarchists like Josiah Warren, Benjamin Tucker, Lysander Spooner; Mutualism founded by Proudhon and Social Anarchists like Anarcho-Communists and Syndicalists like Bakunin, and Kropotkin. Then there is the school of Marxism which could be liberal and libertarian depending on the interpreters; such as Luxemburg Council Communism or authoritative and Statist such as Leninism. To left wing socialists the Leninists were a right wing deviation who took to authoritarianism. During the conflict the Leninist Bolsheviks has a crackdown on left wing socialists like the Anarchists, Democratic Socialists, and Mensheviks. Lenin called them “infants of the left.” There’s been criticism of them since the Russian Revolution, and beforehand against Marx’s more authoritarian ideals. In caused a split in the IWW against the libertarians and the Marxists.

  4752. Jacob Elledge so much to tell you. Well first off Macron is a neoliberal aka a conservative economic policy influenced by Milton Friedman and done by prominent conservatives like Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher from the US and UK respectively. The whole problem is this neoliberal globalization of corporate/capitalist greed outsourcing jobs and exploiting third world countries. This is why the Far Left, actual socialists and anarchist, have been fighting globalization since the 90s and beyond even. It’s the right that hijacks the left’s fight and makes it about xenophobia and bull like “cultural Marxism” looking like idiots. The Far Left is not New Deal Democrat’s, or Social Democrats, or Social Liberals like the Nordic countries. What they do is provide Social Welfare, protection laws of the laborers, and high unionization. They all still live within a Capitalist framework. So they’re not socialists, socialism is the end of capitalism and common ownership of the means of production. Reforms and regulations like in the Nordic model, or FDR, or American progressives aren’t real socialists. They’re trying to put band aids on the social ills and fuck ups of the Capitalist system otherwise it’ll collapse on itself. So remember if it’s not the end of capitalism it isn’t socialism. Modern liberalism means concern for social welfare, equality of opportunity, and fighting any systemic roadblocks against marginalized groups and minorities. That’s not socialism, which would just give workers ownership of their industries. Educate yourself.

  4755. Jacques Lewis A socialist state (the working people in power) will certainly give high priority to health, education, art, science, and the social wellbeing of all its members. That is why it exists, that is the purpose of its economy. But “welfare” in a capitalist state, to improve the efficiency of that state as a profit-maker, is not socialism but a form of state capitalism. It can be an improvement on capitalism with no welfare, just as a 40-hour week is an improvement on a 60-hour week. But it is not socialism. When socialism comes to America, it won’t be “one size fits all”—although it will have universalist aspects and aspirations. Rather than imposed from above, it will be bottom up, in line with America’s best traditions—able to draw, like the New Deal, on a rich tapestry of experimentation in state and local “laboratories of democracy.” It will be democratic, decentralized and participatory. It will be rooted in racial, gender and sexual justice, recalling Langston Hughes’ “and that never has been yet—and yet must be.” It will dismantle an already-existing American gulag—today’s racialized regime of mass incarceration, encompassing the largest prison population in the world—rather than imposing one. It will be about living safely, wisely and well within a flourishing commons, in solidarity with our nonhuman comrades, rather than overshooting ecological boundaries in the pursuit of financial accumulation. This will be actual socialism, rather than social democracy or liberalism, because it will have socialized the means of production—although in plural forms that do not all center on the state. Instead of concentrated wealth, it will have broad dispersal of ownership. Instead of frictionless global markets, the rooted, participatory, recirculatory local economy. Instead of extractive multinational corporations, the worker, community and municipally owned firm. Instead of asset-stripping privatization, myriad forms of democratic public enterprise. Instead of private credit creation by commercial banks and rentier finance, the massive potential power of public banks and sovereign government finance—harkening back to Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

  4757. Usman Akhtar How can economics be absent from any political organization? As I said the socioeconomic Fascist model is class collaboration and an economy guided by or driven towards State ends. Take Nazi Germany, a Capitalist economy where private owners accrued wealth and the resources were allocated towards the State’s goals such as the war effort and such. The “Socialism” of German Fascists was not the socioeconomic ideology of the left. In their view Socialism is the collective society collaborating towards the State, or in Germany’s case the ethno-State’s, goals and stability.

Your white guilt is going far enough to claim other ethnicities can be atrocious because they’re non white. Last I checked Arabs were implicit in slave trade.

  4767. An important and complex topic that once again you make accessible and understandable. The definitions here really just broadened my understanding of Indigenous identity and Indigeneity. Of how the social struggle is advanced by decolonization, and what is necessary of a revolutionary society’s relationship to nature. Amazing how tradition can offer a spark for revolutionary progress, in a sense of worldviews more organic and in harmony with natural development as part of the ecosystem rather than “aliens” to the native life. This requires conscious sustainable and nondestructive efforts in living with the environment. A eco/bio-anarchism focused on bio-regional and bio-dome social organization and self-sufficient autonomy, as well as coordinated cooperation across biospheres.

  4771. Merika Ramocan you know that social stances has nothing to do with being left wing or right wing right? Left means you want lesser authority and more egalitarianism. Right wing means more authority and hierarchy. Yes lots of social conservatives try to legislate and coerce society to live as to what’s conforming to their traditional beliefs. But there are social conservatives that do not and just want communities to be left to live as they want. Same as there are social progressives that want to legislate and coerce others to live up to their standards. But there are progressives that believe in live and let live as well. It’s a case of using authority. If you’re a left wing social progressive or conservative you value civic liberalism or libertarianism. If you try to social engineer cultural norms through legislation and penalties that’s leaning more right. Don’t know why the POLITICAL spectrum got confused with socio-cultural positions.

  4779. ​ @pooperscoop54321  it's not but it didn't ban all abortion as well. And besides since Christians believe the New Testament did away with the Old, well they still have trouble doing what Jesus preached. Jesus was a Jewish reformer and took the social justice to new levels for gentiles as well as Jews. Hence all those socialist, brotherhood, and love for fellow man was all part of his reformed religion. Yet the Church at it's earliest stages began to diminish women's power within the Church, even though they were early leaders and organizers, and soon Christianity began to resemble something that wasn't even original intent. The New Testament was even use as anti-Semitic propaganda go figure. It's not like it's founder was Jewish. Goes to show you people will interpret whatever justifies their ideology.

  4783. There’s a nuanced discussion to have here. Part of the problem is the Left seems to think freedom involves government enlargement and expansion of programs and agencies the public have no control over. The Right talks a good game of limited government but they want social control, and for private businesses to have financial and economic control. Even Jefferson said the wage laborer isn’t independent or free, they depend on the capitalist. During the New Deal it wasn’t just right wingers opposed, leftists like the Communist Party saw it as an attempt to save capitalism and to foster Fascistic class collaboration. And the New Deal in fact was the most Corporative system in American history, Mussolini recognized it as watered down Fascism. The goal of leftists should be communal and workers emancipation. Worker’s self-management, industrial democracy, and libertarian municipalism. We meet to return to our roots of decentralization and autonomy, then the right wingers can’t hide the facade of freedom and show their true authoritarian colors.

  4784.  @geraldmeehan8942  that isn’t in the constitution. But the Republican structure of government was one that, the Federalists, sought to achieve by balancing between interest groups. John Adams viewed a Republic in the classical sense, a balance of monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy in its structures. James Madison believed the wealthy elite should be protected from a democratic tyranny that could confiscate their wealth and property on whims. To be fair he was not advocating aristocracy, he wasn’t for the wealthy oppressing the people either. He wanted the opulent and popular masses to participate and have their rights in a Republican government. But there were other views of Republican government as well. Jefferson viewed a government Republican depending on how democratic and actual self-governing was implemented. The more individuals and citizens had a say in governing affairs the more Republican that government.

  4785.  @nil981  in due time. But for a while I’m afraid reforms and amendments are the avenue that we can take.

But I say revolution is never a done business and always fight and strive for a better world

I know what Socialism is cause the liberal bourgeois told me what it is mehe Only dumbasses that don’t know their shit believe Socialism just means planned economies and government doing things.

  4787. Rudolf Rocker wrote some about the reactionary religious zealot movements that arose against conspiracies of these liberal secret societies. Illuminati being the most popular. But these liberal secret societies were organizations formed to create a liberal world order. Meaning an order based in Enlightenment ideals and values. Individual liberties, republicanism, anti-clericalism, and a philosophical and intellectual paradigm based on liberal reason and rationalism. These societies and conspiracies offended the zealot reactionary religious fundamentalists. Freemasonry is another fascinating subject. A secret society clouded in Abrahamic symbolism, liberal theocracy, and Enlightenment liberalism. Unlike other secret societies of the Enlightenment, the Freemasons were accepting of Judeo-Christian based faiths blended with rationalism (liberal religions). Unlike the Illuminati which was more anti-clerical. A reactionary religious movement of anti-Masonic sentiment grew in the US, fearful of the conspiracy that the Illuminati were responsible for the French Revolution (as you can see the reactionaries were against the very ideals that the American Republic was founded in). George Washington tried to quell those fears. Ironically Washington was a member of the Freemasons, a secret society which expanded nations to push for a New World Order based in Enlightenment values. Religious conservatives feared the conspiracy of a secret society with an agenda for a New World Order, doing away with traditional orders. Anti-Semitism was also prevalent in these conspiracies. Ironically the Freemasons were such a secret society and were integral as to why liberal republican revolutions like the American Revolution even happened. Several Founding Fathers were Freemasons. While the French Revolution was violent, it was also based in a liberal and republican movement based in Enlightenment values. Arguably today a liberal capitalist oligarchy is consolidating an international hegemony. No conspiracies needed. Capitalism, imperialism, and statism functions exactly as such, consolidating power. Just beware of conspiracies, they are the right wing’s bread and butter. Not that leftists don’t get involved in conspiracy theories. Especially Anarchists who hold a healthy skepticism of power hierarchies and institutions. But Anarchists deal more in reason, and science; the deconstruction and analytical critique of the nature of statism and hierarchies is no conspiracy. Today of course capitalism, not feudalism and monarchism, is the old reactionary order, and socialists fight to expand and complete the revolution towards complete freedom.

You don’t have to bring down the show, criticizing and letting you issues known, having the conversation is enough. Not everyone agrees with Chapelle, and not everyone disagrees. It’s an important conversation to have, but typical soft social liberal protests don’t do much. Stick your ground, accept the challenge, and with allies show them why they are wrong. The show being platformed isn’t the problem, so long as you can voice your criticisms and your issue. Comedy is always edgy, pushing the envelope, the comedians want to push buttons and bring forth conversation on the matter. I agree that even apart from the controversy Chapelle’s The Closer was overall not good. I laughed fairly few times

The forming of death squads with former Nazis, the American protection of dictators like Pinochet, the American business alliances with Fascist parties etc….. the problem here isn’t the people, the problem is States. The nature of States is to be geo-political gangs that justifies violence for the State and criminalizes violence of the individual. The Soviet Union was State Socialism, and ideologically opposed to Fascism with it’s international proletarianism. Mussolini was killed from a communist insurgent. The Nazis could not overcome the numbers of Soviet soldiers. The US government interest in the war was strictly business, the literal interests of American businessmen and their allies. The Soviet interest in the war was stopping Fascism from spreading as a threat to communist goals. So both weren’t in it for solely altruistic reasons. If we want a world where millions die because States deem it so, we need to start an alternative form of social organization that isn’t the nation-state.

  4805. Plainglasswindows supporting a socialist economy or socioeconomics. Meaning you want to end the capital tyranny on labor. That is to say end wage labor and private ownership of the commons and means of production. Socializing the economy isn’t solely State ownership, that’s the authoritarian State Socialist route in which supposedly the government represents the working class. The original socialists were libertarians, meaning direct worker’s associations, coops, and self-management. The means of production in the direct hands of the workers, aka industrial democracy. To be a socialist means you want the end of usury, the State monopolies of rent, interest, and profit. These usuries are only possible due to the State capitalist system. As much as capitalists like to claim they support free markets they don’t, they support markets dominated by Capital interests, and government protection and privileges for the property class. Capitalism needs the majority of people to be property less and so sell their labor. This is what I mean, to be a leftist you must be against a Statist system of capital rule. Neoliberalism was an excuse for capitalism. Classical liberal economics is in fact the precursor to socialism. From Adam Smith, to David Ricardo, Thomas Hodgskin, John Stuart Mill etc... the labor theory of value was developed. These classical liberals also supported worker coops as proper of free societies over capitalist firms. As Free Market Socialist Benjamin Tucker put it: “The economic principles of Modern Socialism are a logical deduction from the principle laid down by Adam Smith in the early chapters of his Wealth of Nations,—namely, that labor is the true measure of price. But Adam Smith, after stating this principle most clearly and concisely, immediately abandoned all further consideration of it to devote himself to showing what actually does measure price, and how, therefore, wealth is at present distributed. Since his day nearly all the political economists have followed his example by confining their function to the description of society as it is, in its industrial and commercial phases. Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be. Half a century or more after Smith enunciated the principle above stated, Socialism picked it up where he had dropped it, and in following it to its logical conclusions, made it the basis of a new economic philosophy.” That said you could do this two ways, a socialist market system, or communism where there are no markets and the commune distributed goods as needed freely.

The most popular politician for a reason. He takes on the establishment that serve corporations and special interests. As a Hispanic-American I could care less about diversity over the policies. Although he would be the first Jewish president. Regardless content of character, not thinking he’s white so it’s same old. It really isn’t. We haven’t had a true Social Liberal like him since FDR. The Social Liberal movement began in this country with FDR’s New Deal. And we haven’t had someone in politics so strongly devoted to the working class’ interests until Bernie, who’s platform looks like Dr.King’s.

  4828. marianmgm spoken like the kind of ignorant shmuck who thinks Socialism is the government doing things. Socialism is social/collective ownership of the factors of production. This can manifest itself as public ownership (State controlled), direct worker’s control (worker’s cooperatives), or common ownership (common owned production and distribution). Marxist-Leninism was but one strain of State controlled Socialism. And it became the dominant strain for political revolutions but it is not the only school of Socialism, or Marxism for that matter. The Paris Commune was a bold experimental revolution that unfortunately had many factors against it as the Monarchy was still around. But it is the most significant moment of the revolution as it was for the worker’s and for once no elite group or class would raise themselves higher than the rest of society. Revolutionary Catalonia was the next big Socialist revolution. As Anarchists created a social order of highly decentralized, Stateless, federation of worker owned syndicates. George Orwell wrote of his experiences there and with conviction wrote of Catalonia as the most liberated society there has been. After the Fascists with the aid of Soviets did away with the Revolutionary Anarchists, Orwell would be a staunch opposer to authoritarianism and supporter of Democratic Socialism. These Anarchist and bottom-top organized Socialist societies being short lived have nothing to do with the system itself. Parties involved had reason to quickly put down the revolts that did away with class society and strived for the freedom of all not just a privileged few. Still today historians and economists marvel at what the Anarcho-Syndicalists accomplished. It worked, people thrived, and it was a completely decentralized hierarchy-less social organization. If anything Anarchists proved social organization is possible in voluntary free associations and horizontal structures. Your understanding of Socialism is indoctrinated propaganda. You wouldn’t know that Capitalism is not synonymous to market economy, that Socialism also allows for markets that forego the Capitalist mode of production. Adam Smith, David Ricardo influenced many a Socialist who came to the correct conclusion that bourgeois Capitalism is not the free economy Classical Liberals had in mind. Indeed such Liberals as Rousseau and John Stuart Mill advocated a Socialist market economy in which the worker’s were in charge and labor was rewarded what it’s owed, and advocated worker’s cooperatives over Capitalist businesses hierarchy. “No longer enslaved or made dependent by force of law, the great majority are so by force of poverty; they are still chained to a place, to an occupation, and to conformity with the will of an employer, and debarred, by the accident of birth both from the enjoyments, and from the mental and moral advantages, which others inherit without exertion and independently of desert. That this is an evil equal to almost any of those against which mankind have hitherto struggled, the poor are not wrong in believing. Is it a necessary evil? They are told so by, those who do not feel it---by those who have gained the prizes in the lottery of life. But it was also said that slavery, that despotism, that all the privileges of oligarchy, were necessary.” —John Stuart Mill

  4873. • Tensakuma "Tendro" Kadro​ The Mesopotamian religions were the first known I believe. Anu and all that.
    1
  4874. • Tensakuma "Tendro" Kadro The similarities between the Ancient Mesopotamian and Jewish beliefs are enough to know the Jewish traditions come from the Sumerian, Babylonian, Akkadian etc... Tales of floods, gods making mankind as workers for their works and so on. If humanity truly began and spread from one point of origin then yes every religion has some first source that evolved with every culture. Though even if this isn't so, one thing for certain is that every religion more or less teaches the same; Peace and love is the way for humanity to behave and progress.
    1
  4875. PancakeVsWaffle​​ The Mesopotamian's beliefs were strikingly similar to later traditional Jewish beliefs. Creation of Man to tend to the gods works, the Great Flood, mating between gods and humanity. It's much the same stories and beliefs, the only difference is that in traditional Judaism the focus was on the Most High God and the lesser gods were named messengers and angels. In fact in reading the Bible one can see that the Hebrews acknowledged many gods and believed in a pantheon headed by one God of Gods, who was the true God to worship. This is most supported by the constant use of Elohim, the plurality of the word god, and the treatment of angels as mighty ones, or Elohim. Also God himself called mankind gods, as their first state was godly children, as when God said when speaking of Man, "Man has become like 'us' (the gods/angels) and knows knowledge of good and evil. Also the fallen angel said " God knows if you eat of this fruit you will be like the gods, knowing good and evil".
    1
  4876. 432 hz True enough. I have heard an interesting theory that Osirus was in fact the Biblical Nimrod who traveled the Post-Diluvian world conquering peoples and creating civilizations. This of course concurs with the myth of Osirus as a civilizer of barbaric people, teaching agriculture, warfare, and giving structure and order to a primitive people. Also the fact that Osirus according to myth was the first King of Kehmet; Egypt. These two figures may be the same historically recorded first Pharoah Narner.

  4884. Mondo Cool I feel like you are debating something pointless. Simply because Broly is non canon meaning he never existed in the actual DBZ universe. So you can forget him and every other DBZ movie along with GT. The only characters that are official are those from the Dragon Ball and DBZ animation series along with the "Battle of the Gods." I thought Broly was cool and still do but the story of the true Legendary Super Saiyan should have been better. And we finally got that in "Battle of the Gods." Turns out the true Super Saiyan is endowed with their godly power by being a pure/good hearted being borrowing strength from six others. Thus making the now not so fabled Legendary Super Saiyan a god.
    1
  4885. blacktee31 It has to do with the fact that these characters might as well not exist. The ones that have to do with the actual plot or story are genuine and therefore have more legitimacy to the actual series. They count the others don't, just ask the creator of the series. He doesn't acknowledge non canon material.
    1
  4886. blacktee31 and yet Broly sucks because he gets his ass kicked by inferior Saiyans. Birus was so much more believable. Non canon was just never believable because the stupid stories interrupted the actual story. Continuity is key.
    1
  4887. blacktee31 He didn't destroy the planet due to not having enough power left to do so not a change of heart. He's more believable because he is an actual god in the DBZ universe. He destroys as he sees fit not maniacally and carries him self with some grace. Pretty cool villian. He fits into the story because it is after the series. And canon or non canon he is the most powerful villian of the entire series. Broly is basically fan fiction. And he obviously got his ass kicked 3 times. Broly came out of nowhere suddenly being born with Goku. Birus was actually at planet Vegeta in the past and planned on killing Frieza. He's the overall better character.
    1
  4888. blacktee31​ I realize how true to my opinion I sound. And no in the real Japanese version and English version Birusu clearly was going to destroy the planet but couldn't gather the power. His master tells him it seems you have used a high percentage of your energy. There you go. In the end Goku vs Broly didn't happen really. Birusu kicked everyone's ass with chop sticks. Broly went berserk. Different styles but Birus was more refined in his martial art. And he wasn't planning on gaining power or wealth. He just did his job as he saw fit and kept the balance of life and death. Better character. Better fighter. Better story.
    1
  4889. blacktee31 You think that I believe I have a superior opinion lol. That's a paradox. And just so you know I like Broly more than Birus. Doesn't change the fact that Broly isn't a legit character. Though Birus has more substance than Broly and Frieza is my number one favorite with the most substance.

  4890. blacktee31 Vince McMahon voice: "yeah shake that head!!!"

  4891. Mondo Cool They sure have the same carnage loving personalities. Of course Bojack's story is irrelevant as much as Broly's due to them being non canon. In BoG it is revealed the true SSJ is in fact a god. Broly still is a simple character. And Bojack is even simpler. This is why I wouldn't put Broly in my top 5 favorite DBZ villains. He lacks true purpose like Kid Buu only I found Kid Buu much more charasmatic.
    1
  4892. Mondo Cool​​​ Now how can you be wrong on an opinion? As far as canon goes however the true SSJ is the god form that even Shenron recognized. It also explains the myth that King Kai said earlier in the series that the guardian god of the Saiyan planet destroyed the planet due to their wickedness. The story was of course embellished and wrong in that Frieza was the one who destroyed the planet, but the god wanting to end the Saiyan's wicked ways was very much true. And as it turns out the appearance of that SSJ god either created or enforced the legend of the SSJ amongst their race. Canon aside Broly is a badass and his bloodlust is parallel only to Kid Buu. Much like the totem shaman warriors of Germanic and Scandinavian peoples Broly is the ideal ruthless cutthroat Saiyan warrior they all aspire to be. It speaks of how heartless and war oriented this race truly is. They seek to have no bonds of love of any kind to be the perfect warrior. To be ruthless and strong enough to kill own blood is encouraging to these people. Broly is the prime Saiyan warrior, the example for all to follow, like the Germans sought to be like Thor. It's possible that the SSJ god who was actually a force of good was the inspiration for the unparalleled strenghth and power of this legendary Saiyan warrior. Yet they twisted his purpose to fit their own bloodlust ideologies in which the legendary SSJ was a prime Saiyan, the perfect killer. Of which Broly embodies. The legend of the SSJ to these people whether they believed in the being or not, what they took of the story is the perfect Saiyan warrior and what they should aspire to be.
    1
  4893. Mondo Cool What I said was speculation. That the SSJ god that appeared may have been the influence of the SSJ myth. And the Saiyans were inspired by the strenghth of this Saiyan god. Saiyans being how they are twisted the story to fit their ideologies of the perfect Saiyan warrior. And didn't only Shenron knew about the SSJ god. Vegeta I think didn't knew and neither did Birus or Whis. Could be that the legendary SSJ is the embellished story of the SSJ god. That of course is a calculated speculation. It is possible. Myths are embellished throughout years and they eventually turn out different from the original.

  4900. Cap'n Mo His father taught him the fundamentals of tai chi quan before he met Yip Man.
    1
  4901. Cap'n Mo Absolutely. Though Yip Man was still only tied to the Wing Chun style. Bruce went on to find his own philosophy and martial art seeking to perfect and expand Kung Fu by being more eclectic and openminded. Safe to say the student surpassed the master. Bruce's legacy is almost mythical. A master martial artist and as a philosopher as important to Chinese martial arts as Confucius is to Chinese ethics and social law and order, and as Lao Tzu is to Chinese mysticism and life, or Sun Tzu to Chinese warfare.
    1
  4902. Cap'n Mo Agreed, his influence is beyond Chinese Martial Arts, but in Martial Arts in general.
    1
  4903. FlippingTables WithMyDik They got to remember that the movie Ip Man was loosely based on the actual Wing Chun Grandmaster. Movies are made for entertaining purposes. He whom they saw on the screen was Donnie Yen not actually Yip Man. Though I am sure Yip Man was a great master.

  4905. Cap'n Mo No problem.
    1
  4906. FlippingTables WithMyDik People see Yip Man as the greatest martial artist of his day but this is based on Donnie Yen's performance in the Ip Man film. The real Yip Man was not a martial artist who went around fighting every chance he got to defend China's honor. Safe to say Bruce surpassed his master as a martial artist, and in reality he will always respect him and never fight him. Yip Man was a grandmaster but not a superhuman.

The Bible teaches man the godly way, as in how man should live as the Heavenly Father's children. This is the truth you are denied. Mankind's original state is God in flesh. Jesus was the first to acheive where Asam and Eve fell. Hence he is firstborn and the first of many. Like Jesus all will one day be reborn and transcend to godlihood. One can walk on water and calm storms. These are miracles one is gifted with when one is conscious with the Father. The Heavenly Spirit will take over and man will shine bright like the Sun. Because Man has the honor and privilege of being God's children.

  4962. Sisyphus Sapiens Capitalism is a Individualist social Darwinian system where property owners exploit labor and restrict freedom from the majority. They are the new ruling elite. Not at all what Classical Liberals has in mind. Europeans suffer from the class oppression as well. Worker’s do not own their labor or produce. Under Capitalism freedom is tantamount to a person’s property.
    1
  4963. Mr. Mountain you exploit the labor of those employees. The Capitalist relies on wage labor. They extract the surplus and take away the value of labor. An actual free market as the Classical Liberals advocated would have the laborers be in complete ownership of their labor. Hence why John Stuart Mill advocated worker co-ops instead of the Capitalist employer-employee relationship. And no you’re not a bad guy, just understand that as you say for the workplace you can tell your employees what to do and how to behave. You are their master for hours a day. The Capitalist system perpetuates wage labor. You might claim as Capitalists do, that the working class are free to work where they want, they aren’t forced, or they can start their own businesses, but we all know people work whatever they can to not starve and have accommodations. It’s not that you are a bad person, it’s that Capitalism itself is a system of exploitation predicated on ideals of propertarianism. Classical liberals would be appalled at post-industrial Capitalism. Capitalism is not synonymous with market economies.
    1
  4964. Mr. Mountain Socialism isn’t government doing things. It is the ideology that advocates some form of social ownership of the means of production, and classless society. This ranges from Statist to Libertarian, Anarchist to Marxist etc... Marxist-Leninism was but one strain of Socialism that ended not in post-Capitalism but State Capitalism. What of the Anarchist societies that rid themselves of State and hierarchies? Revolutionary Catalonia, Free Territory Ukraine. Bold revolutionary excitements that unfortunately ended when they were defeated by Fascists and undermined by Leninists. Socialism has the individual free to develops their own innate talents, skills, and abilities to be free to do as they please. “The Soul of Man Under Socialism” as Oscar Wilde put it. As well as George Orwell and Albert Einstein.

  4965. Mr. Mountain lol what? Didn’t I just mention Socialism has many schools? Some advocate using government but they aren’t what we’ve seen. In order for a government to be Socialists the ruling party and class would have to be the worker’s and Capitalism would be abolished. Libertarian Socialism aka Anarchism literally arose out of the Socialist movement. Anti-authoritarianism, anti-Statists, no hierarchies. Seriously man way to live with Cold War propaganda for 40 years. George Orwell said it true. They’ll use language to distort the meaning of words and make you believe tyranny is freedom. Socialism the ideology of emancipating the working class towards classless society is now considered the government making decisions for you. Well we have Marxist-Leninists to blame for it.

  4966. Mr. Mountain Another one indoctrinated to conflate markets with Capitalism. It’s not like there are Socialists that advocate markets. No cause “Socializum is when the gov’ment duz thangz. The more it duz the more Socializter it iz!” Lol Again Libertarian Socialism aka Anarchism completely shatters that belief. Even other more State based Socialism aren’t so authoritarian and Statist as Marxist-Leninism. They can be democratic and decentralized. Or the most libertarians being the Anarchists. Market anarchists believe in Market exchange, not in economic privilege. They believe in free markets, not in capitalism. What makes them anarchists is their belief in a fully free and consensual society – a society in which order is achieved not through legal force or political government, but through free agreements and voluntary cooperation on a basis of equality. What makes them market anarchists is their recognition of free market exchange as a vital medium for peacefully anarchic social order. But the markets they envision are not like the privilege-riddled “markets” we see around us today. Markets laboring under government and capitalism are pervaded by persistent poverty, ecological destruction, radical inequalities of wealth, and concentrated power in the hands of corporations, bosses, and landlords. The consensus view is that exploitation – whether of human beings or of nature – is simply the natural result of markets left unleashed. The consensus view holds that private property, competitive pressure, and the profit motive must – whether for good or for ill – inevitably lead to capitalistic wage labor, to the concentration of wealth and social power in the hands of a select class, or to business practices based on growth at all costs and the devil take the hindmost. Market anarchists dissent. They argue that economic privilege is a real and pervasive social problem, but that the problem is not a problem of private property, competition, or profits per se. It is not a problem of the market form but of markets deformed – deformed by the long shadow of historical injustices and the ongoing, continuous exercise of legal privilege on behalf of capital. The market anarchist tradition is radically pro-market and anti-capitalist – reflecting its consistent concern with the deeply political character of corporate power, the dependence of economic elites on the tolerance or active support of the state, the permeable barriers between political and economic elites, and the cultural embeddedness of hierarchies established and maintained by state-perpetrated and state-sanctioned violence.

  4967. coldflame I agree. There are studies that show big bosses and corporate suits exhibit behavior of sociopaths. Even Milton Friedman admitted “There is one and only one social responsibility of business–to use it resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition without deception or fraud”

Or the Heymarket martyrdom I said I’m a LibSoc and they went to Marxist Trotsky? Like anarchists are known for defending Marxists-Leninists? The only Marxists we’re cool with are the libertarians like Luxemburg.
    1
  4975. Dara Marc Sasmaz Bernie’s federal government ran programs like Medicare-For-All or Green New Deal calls for a centralization of power and bureaucracy. That’s not decentralization. Not only that but it’s a weak approach as opposing parties can undermine and cut those programs so they aren’t permanent fixtures. The American Progressive movement of the early 20th century was born from scholars that wanted social reforms they learned from their German studies abroad, inspired by the Bismarckian Welfare State that was specifically meant to stifle labor movements and socialist parties. These middle-upper class students took it upon themselves to create this new bureaucratic class devoted to social reform as they saw in Germany. Their heart was in a decent place, but they were just expanding the State. Modern progressives come from different but similar interests. They want social reform, a band aid on capitalism, expansion of the Welfare State, maintaining a society divided by classes, maintaining capitalism, and increasing dependence on government parties and programs controlled by politicians instead of Direct Action and self-autonomous workers association. There’s a reason Benito Mussolini said “You want to know what Fascism is like? It is like your New Deal.” Social Democracy is a branch of liberal corporatism (corporatism meaning the structuring of society by social and industrial/economic interests). It advocates class collaboration not struggle. It advocates labor and business/capital interests collectively bargaining under government mediation. This is the concept of Fascist Corporatism, however more moderate and liberal, whereas Fascism is political Corporatism to the extremes as well as extremely nationalist. Socialists want to achieve the classless society based on mutual aid and individual autonomy. As Orwell said “Socialism is either classless, or it is nothing at all.”

  4976. EvolvedApe33 How is Chomsky a Marxist? I’ve seen videos of him specifically rejecting Marxist politics analysis. All socialists admire Marx’s social and capitalist critique but don’t all agree with his political opinions or what he called scientific socialism. There are Marxists with libertarian views like Rosa Luxemburg. And Anarchist Communists aren’t Marxists. They study Proudhon, Bakunin, and especially Kropotkin. All of which were literally arguing against Karl Marx’s transitory State Socialism. Proudhon argued against Marx in published treatises in a back and forth, and Bakunin debated him face to face when in International meetings. He even predicted the Red Bureaucracy of Lenin. Eventually the Marxists kicked anarchists out of the International. Marx had libertarian aspects but libertarians could never agree to his idea of a transition from Statist control to Communism. And libertarian council communists like Luxemburg rejected all authoritarian methods on the path to Communism. Even Karl Marx preferred the decentralized Paris Commune as a vision of the socialist republic. You’re either an anti-statist or you aren’t.

That’s what truly makes Anarchy, genuine statelessness. No permanent forms, just constant constructs and deconstructs, overlaps, splitting, fusions, dissolutions and restructuring etc… Be creative in thinking a new world is possible. “The most complete man (person) is the one who, doing the most things, depending the least on others, enters into a greater number of relationships. A kind of composite liberty, superior to simple liberty.” — Proudhon (1851 note)

  4985. As a libertarian socialist I have to disagree that the Left needs government or is about government. Genuine leftism has always been the anti-statist wing of socialism. The problem with these far right militias is they have a distorted version of “Libertarianism” unique to America. American conservatism and right wing has always had a weird blend of supporting levels limited government but also socioculturally tyranny. Which is why many of these groups start off as social conservative “libertarian” and some even roots in white nationalist movements. While I have seen genuine libertarian socialists allied with genuine classical liberals; we’re always careful of not promoting groups that allow or can’t control a segment of social tyrants and bigots among their ranks. If you have that problem you should leave that group and join a better one. Also these groups comes from a more AnCap economic philosophy which anarchists reject as pseudo anarchism because capitalism is antithetical to anarchy.

This tale of bourgeois decadence is just reactionary propaganda that forgets that communism is built on the progress of liberal capitalism, not meant to be something wholesale different. The dialectic is thesis/antithesis = synthesis not two distinct dialectics being completely separate and having nothing of the previous state of affairs. Communism I supposed to build on the freedoms of liberalism, and complete the liberation of humanity where liberalism is limited or has failed to.

  4991. Susan Bones That’s cool. As an anarchist I believe in sowing the seeds for a libertarian future I may not see in my lifetime. It’s an ongoing struggle. I agree and you’ll find all anarchists believe in education firsts and foremost. A revolution of the mind is first necessary for a social revolution. Though I don’t agree with your 1984 assessment. Authoritarianism will always seek to encroach on societies where a privileged minority exploit the masses. Fascism came into being before 1984, which was a fictional story warning of the dangers of totalitarianism in it’s forms encroaching in society. It was a critical response to Fascist Europe and Stalinist Statist Socialism. George Orwell was a staunch Democratic Socialist and he fought alongside anarchists in Spain against Fascists. Orwell was against authoritarianism, and a strong supporter of Socialism. Right wingers try to use his works as anti-leftist propaganda, but the historical record shows Orwell was a far leftist and just cause he hated the Soviet Union, didn’t mean he wasn’t Socialist. He believed the Soviets were distorting and tarnishing true Socialism into an authoritarian bureaucratic oligarchy. To him they were false socialists and as much an enemy to Socialism as Fascists.

  4998. This isn’t genuinely a labor general strike. The power of the general strike doesn’t come from petitions and social media calls. It comes from organized industrial unions, like the IWW, where many trades are unionized to the same Union and so all at once strike and halt production. This isn’t what’s going on. First labor has to organize into a national union. As well as build alternative networks to provide food and resources. This is dysfunctional and while nice, it isn’t tactile and organized. Hope I’m proven wrong and they could organize such, but take it as constructive criticism

  5000. There have been radical democrats who defined or described a state more the republic the more it was democratic. Yes the constitutional aspect protects individual and civil liberties and rights that the democracy cannot interfere not infringe upon, but the governing administration was to be, to some of the founding insurrectionist revolutionaries, democratic. Paine of course was a stalwart of democracy in republicanism. And Thomas Jefferson, who many conservatives believe is their philosophical forerunner (not really he was liberal) believed in decentralized direct democracy. Jefferson presented the idea in a letter to Samuel Kercheval in July, 1816. "The true foundation of republican government," Jefferson wrote, "is the equal right of every citizen in his person and property, and in their management". In that letter Jefferson outlined the need for "ward republics," small units of local government, within Virginia's existing counties, which he thought were too large for direct participation of all the voters. He proposed to divide the counties into "wards of such size as that every citizen can attend, when called on, and act in person … will relieve the county administration of nearly all its business, will have it better done, and by making every citizen an acting member of the government, and in the offices nearest and most interesting to him, will attach him by his strongest feelings to the independence of his country, and its republican constitution". Doesn’t get any more democratic than that political theory which radical democratic socialists like Murray Bookchin would agree with.

Quit acting like you’re down with it, killing is a horrendous thing that is the last resort.

As George Orwell attested to, Marxist-Leninists we’re authoritarian dip shits that betrayed worker’s with their State Capitalist BS and aligning with Fascists. Bakunin was right the Marxist strand was susceptible to authoritarian dipshits. Predicting Leninist failures decades before they arose to give Socialism a bad name.

  5061.  @gorillaguerillaDK  Afghanistan was illegal under international law, constituted unjustified aggression and would lead to the deaths of many civilians through the bombing campaign and by preventing humanitarian aid workers from bringing food into the country. By one estimate, around 5,000 Afghan civilians had been killed within just the first three months of the U.S. invasion. More broadly, the invasion of Afghanistan appeared to opponents to be a stepping stone to the 2003 Iraq War, increasing the geo-political reach of the United States. “The UN Charter is a treaty ratified by the United States and thus part of US (Constitutional) law. Under the charter, a country can use armed force against another country only in self-defense or when the Security Council approves. Neither of those conditions was met before the United States invaded Afghanistan. The Taliban did not attack us on 9/11. Nineteen men – 15 from Saudi Arabia – did, and there was no imminent threat that Afghanistan would attack the US or another UN member country. The council did not authorize the United States or any other country to use military force against Afghanistan. The US war in Afghanistan is illegal.” — Marjorie Cohn, professor at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, president of the National Lawyers Guild

  5063. The early Republicans were nothing like today’s organization. They were Federalist Nationalists (supremacy of Federal government). Economically Hamiltonian Nationalists (advocated the American System of economics; literally were against Adam Smith’s Free Trade doctrine) which was for government infrastructure projects, advocacy of technological or scientific innovation, pro-manufacturing, and protectionist tariffs. Republicans were the party of urbanization, modernization, and industrial capitalism and big business. And of course they saw slavery as an antiquated institution on its way out or inconvenient economic system.

Trump still legislates against Russia’s interests and people are genuinely concerned the Russians will start reacting. A Putin puppet doesn’t look to take away their oil deal with Germany, or send fleets to Black Sea, or troops to Russian borders, or intervene in Venezuela allied with Russia. Policy over theories. Facts remain collusion either didn’t happen or have no substantial proof making it all a waste of time. So investigate cases with substance like dealings with Saudis and Israel. Those are substantive.

  5081.  @kalebaldwin5398  Biden is old enough in politics to be all kinds of conservative. The guy just goes for what’s politically beneficial career wise. He worked with segregationists to prevent busing (Dixiecrats). He supported “law and order” tough on crime bills in the Clinton era. And he is entrenched in the Democratic establishment post-Obama. As Obama said his own politics would once have been called moderate conservative/Republican. What I’m getting at is Biden is a moderate conservative. Incrementalist. Many people confuse conservatism with regressivism. Conservatives do not oppose change, the political scientific definition is a stance of incrementalist change to preserve traditional institutions and maintain a sense of continuity in social order. Whereas regressives want no change unless it’s a return to an old antiquated system or way of life. Biden isn’t socially liberal. Another term American politics distorts. To be socially liberal means to advocate individual rights and liberties. To promote a liberal culture of limited government involvement in social life. Social progressivism is the pursuit of transcending social norms, mores, and attitudes. And social conservatism is conserving traditional social norms, mores, and attitudes. Biden is socially progressive on some things, but conservative in others. People tend to be okay with certain things but not with others. I myself am socially progressive and libertarian and am fine with polygamy, prostitution (so long as it’s a proper occupation and not extorted and exploitative), free love, sexual orientations, no marriage etc.... A social liberal and progressive would support gay rights, but not government infringing on rights or liberties. So if an establishment owner wished to refuse service to lgbtq+ potential clientele a social liberal would not advocate government making that owner serve against his wishes. Same in impeding government from telling people who they’re allowed to marry, or what constitutes marriage. A social progressive would disagree with the owner’s position on non normative sexual orientations, but as a social liberal defend individual liberties of both the owner and the lgbtq+ community. Hence a social liberal advocates limited or no government social interference. Something a libertarian socialist like me can support. The thing about us libertarians is we support free association. We are opposed to either social progressives or conservatives social engineering society via laws and regulations. In the American experience such legislation has done as much to hurt the progress of minority communities as was intended to help them. Minority like all communities are better off associating freely for their own interests, having leaders of their own, and running their own towns or cities on their own. The same coercion of progressive laws are easily used for more conservative motives. A more liberal/libertarian society would respect greater freedoms and natural social interactions. At least this is what us anarchists call freedom of association.

  5082. As a libertarian socialist I agree with the sentiment that government never proved to be an efficient and permanent answer but what’s her alternative? You see they talk the talk but aren’t willing to take one real solutions. The reason welfare is necessary is because you make it the only immediate remedy to mass inequality. But if you’d really were about limiting government you’d eliminate the government protection of corporate interests and subsidies. As socialists call for the alternative to the State and capitalist monopoly, you defend a system of exploitation and tyranny. You aren’t genuine Gabbard. “We are convinced that liberty without socialism is privilege, injustice; and that socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality.” Mikhail Bakunin

  5092. Luis Alejandro fool the 2nd amendment was not for law abiding citizens, it’s for the arming of civilians to be insurrectionary and break the laws should liberty be threatened or invasions occur. Part of arming civilians was to be prepared for foreign invasion, they just dealt with a Revolutionary War. Others were putting down slave revolts, which no longer exists, and to put down Indigenous attacks. Like it or not it came in handy when ethnically cleansing Natives for Manifest Destiny. Today we have State police that is a armed law protecting branch of governments. So today militias are to be well trained insurrectionary civilian forces prepared for battle. It is the single purpose left for arming civilians, to be outlaws. Should the government prove breaking with Social Contract these civilians would be traitors and will go against the tyrannical government that they would declare them terrorists, traitors, and criminals. And you fight back with well trained and organized militia, not here’s a gun now you’re ready to fight against the most professional and powerful military the world has ever seen. Arming and training minority civilians and citizens is a must for true adherents of the 2nd amendment, for they are always the first in danger when it comes to tyranny. Therefore insurrectionary militias train them, several groups around the country do this. You know gun nuts from 2nd amendment advocates when you see their reactions to arming and training minority citizens.

  5096. You know what would be an interesting video topic? Mysticism and early socialism’s relation is truly fascinating. In studying society and social relations, processes, and realities thereof the social scientists made associations with mystical phenomena. The psycho-biological dimension of society certainly seems mystic, but I suppose magic is science not yet understood or something. There was interest in Perennialism and mysticism or occult among the early socialist movement which attempted the synthesis of religion and science such as Saint-Simon and Comte’s New Catholicism/Christianity and Religion of Humanity respectively. Saint-Simon and Fourier both really emphasized Newton and his foundational law of attraction. To them, this was implying that there could also be mysterious forces within society. The notion of society being bigger than the sum of its parts comes out of this conception of reality being full of complex and mysterious forces. Magic was a prevalent topic and issue in the early social science movement. A video going into that history would be cool! The influential esotericist Éliphas Lévi was a disciple of the socialist Charles Fourier!

Early in life, I absenteed myself from Christian assemblies.” - Benjamin Franklin “All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.“ - Thomas Paine “Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise.... During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in laity; in both, superstition, bigotry, and persecution.“ - James Madison “Question with boldness even the existence of a god.“ - Thomas Jefferson “What is it the Bible teaches us? - raping, cruelty, and murder. What is it the New Testament teaches us? - to believe that the Almighty committed debauchery with a woman engaged to be married, and the belief of this debauchery is called faith.” - Thomas Paine “Let us with Caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion.” - George Washington “The whole history of these books (i.e. the Gospels) is so defective and doubtful that it seems vain to attempt minute enquiry into it: and such tricks have been played with their text, and with the texts of other books relating to them, that we have a right, from that cause, to entertain much doubt what parts of them are genuine. In the New Testament there is internal evidence that parts of it have proceeded from an extraordinary man; and that other parts are of the fabric of very inferior minds. It is as easy to separate those parts, as to pick out diamonds from dunghills.” - Thomas Jefferson

It perpetuates the State’s authority, creates disparities or inequalities, creates a wealthy elite, and is consuming and depleting natural resources in the name of profit without a care for environment. Without Capitalism Liberalism today would not be giving government power to detain the power of corporations and capitalists.

  5130. ⁠ @John-gi6yh but do you know what libertarian socialism is? Do you know the history of classical American libertarianism and figures like Lysander Spooner and Benjamin Tucker? Or do you just have the States boot down your throat? As Benjamin Tucker said: “The economic principles of Modern Socialism are a logical deduction from the principle laid down by Adam Smith in the early chapters of his “Wealth of Nations,” — namely, that labor is the true measure of price. But Adam Smith, after stating this principle most clearly and concisely, immediately abandoned all further consideration of it to devote himself to showing what actually does measure price, and how, therefore, wealth is at present distributed. Since his day nearly all the political economists have followed his example by confining their function to the description of society as it is, in its industrial and commercial phases. Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be.”

But honestly most Social Democrats seem to want reform and regulations as the end point of the means. They wouldn’t go further. Either way I have respect for them.

  5136.  @thepolishlatinofromphilly9709  yeah modern Social Liberalism seeks for more Social Democratic means of regulating the economy for fairer distribution. That how ever is not left libertarianism that would do away with Capitalism. Libertarianism = Anarcho-socialism. Anarcho-capitalists are rejected as anarchists for they supremely advocate a hierarchical organization in Capitalism. Dude the original anarchists that coined libertarians did so because anarchism was banned and not tolerated. They used libertarian instead to avoid censorship and persecution.
    1
  5137.  @thepolishlatinofromphilly9709  I just feel like it's ignoring the historical context of the term and it's usage. Libertarians were Marxists, Socialists, and Anarchists that continued the far left tradition and wed anarchism with socialism. While Liberalism is the principle of dismantling centralized State power, the Anarchists and Socialists sought in the same tradition decentralization of economic and Capitalist power upon the individual, a step further in a post-Capitalist world. Left libertarianism stems from the classical liberal tradition, further liberating the individual from coercive institutions that threaten their liberty. Anarcho-Socialism = libertarianism, it;s the same thing. Liberalism DOES NOT equal Anarchism or even Socilaism. Libertarianism is the Black and Red united, and is distinct from classical Liberalism. But if it's the doctrine of free will we're talking about I see your point that Libertarianism is the larger umbrella under which all such ideologies fall. Libertarianism (from Latin: libertas, meaning "freedom") is a collection of political philosophies and movements that uphold liberty as a core principle. Libertarians seek to maximize political freedom and autonomy, emphasizing freedom of choice, voluntary association, and individual judgment. Libertarians share a skepticism of authority and state power, but they diverge on the scope of their opposition to existing political and economic systems. Various schools of libertarian thought offer a range of views regarding the legitimate functions of state and private power, often calling for the restriction or dissolution of coercive social institutions. Traditionally, libertarianism was a term for a form of left-wing politics; such left-libertarian ideologies seek to abolish capitalism and private ownership of the means of production, or else to restrict their purview or effects, in favor of common or cooperative ownership and management, viewing private property as a barrier to freedom and liberty] Classical libertarian ideologies include, but are not limited to, anarcho-communism (and anarcho-syndicalism), mutualism, egoism, and anti-paternalist, and the New Left schools of thought such as economic egalitarianism. In the United States, modern right-libertarian ideologies, such as minarchism and anarcho-capitalism, co-opted the term in the mid-20th century to instead advocate laissez-faire capitalism and strong private property rights, such as in land, infrastructure, and natural resources. [Wikipedia] You are right in that respect I suppose. I've always made a distinction based on the term's origins but if the boot fits.

  5140. That’s what socialism is. I don’t know why people have to complicate it. The origins of socialism is replacing wage labor with labor associations, as in worker cooperatives. It’s not even anti-markets just anti-capitalist. Meaning against the system of private ownership sustained by wage labor. Regardless what you call it, it’s accurate that a worker owned company or service is socialism. The creators themselves call themselves socialists and communists. Cause they want a labor association not a capitalist firm that pays wages and exploits labor.

Christian Communists and Socialists have a history of secular politics and community solidarity. I can tell them “I hope religion dies one day” in good faith, and they respond “I disagree but it is all God’s will comrade. God bless.” And I accept cause even though I don’t believe it, they are genuinely showing me love, and I respect their faith and freedom. Though the far left encourages anti-religion, libertarians believe in the freedom to worship.

How about you educate yourself and read George Orwell’s “Homage to Catalonia” if you want to know what a free society looked like. Seizing means of production could be done just as easily without revolution. It’s called opening worker’s cooperatives. Keep thinking free market economy is synonymous with capitalism though. You likely don’t even know of Market Socialism. Tell me the contradictions so that I may expose your ass for the partisan uneducated fool that you are. Me hoping institutional religion dies has no bearing on whether people should be free to have a spiritual belief system.

  5162.  @STARK0181 the issue with that is that even though they may be truthful when saying they were inspired by Eminem it doesn’t seem like they really are musically so if anything it’s not much of a factor to the music they do make. Like what can you learn from Eminem you can’t learn from a plethora of other rappers? This isn’t to undermine Em’s own talents and the raw magnetism he has in his peak but lyricism isn’t something Eminem invented. He wasn’t even the first to do the versatile play around with accents and flows. Eminem’s did open doors for Hip Hop though and made the genre bigger than ever but unfortunately many people only care for him and if it doesn’t sound like him then it’s not good for them.

  5164.  @CeramicShot  libertarian socialism is anarchism. Meaning anti-statist. Seeing as socialism originated in radical leftist circles as libertarian before State Socialism it is viewed as the purest expression of socialism. Libertarian socialism requires no government, no political action or parties, no political representatives. Indeed there is no government involvement in social and economic affairs, for society would be a decentralized free association of producers. In terms of economics libertarian socialism is anarcho-communism and Mutualism (a market socialism also known as free market anarchism, or free market anti-capitalism). The Scientific Socialist school of Marx had the same end goals in mind, but made the assertion that the working class would first have to capture the State and government to the proletariats interest and defend the socialist revolution from internal and external capitalist counterrevolutionary forces. Then once proper the State would “wither away.” Marxist orthodoxy first lead to Democratic Socialism, in which parliamentary and democratic parties vied for the working class votes, and govern on their interests. Eventually Lenin would doctrinate a more consolidated State philosophy of bureaucratic centralization and Vanguard Party leadership. The resultant political doctrine of the Bolsheviks, today called Marxist-Leninist is more authoritarian and centralized a method to socialist revolution, leading to all the Marxist-Leninist authoritarian regimes. The core of socialism, which even Marx agreed, is to put labor in ownership of their own products. That is to say opposition to capitalism (private ownership, wage labor) in favor of labor associations (individual/family business, self-management, industrial democracy). Unfortunately concepts of preferred government systems such as statism, democracy, and political methods overly prioritized everything but the core of socialism, the socialization of the means of production. The French school of socialism, libertarian socialism came before German historical materialist scientific socialism school of Marx, and this quote from Mutualist and libertarian socialist Proudhon explains the quintessential essence of socialism. “Under the law of association, transmission of wealth does not apply to the instruments of labour, so cannot become a cause of inequality. [...] We are socialists [...] under universal association, ownership of the land and of the instruments of labour is social ownership. [...] We want the mines, canals, railways handed over to democratically organised workers' associations. [...] We want these associations to be models for agriculture, industry and trade, the pioneering core of that vast federation of companies and societies, joined together in the common bond of the democratic and social Republic.” Proudhon also warned that a society with private property would lead to statist relations between people, arguing: “The purchaser draws boundaries, fences himself in, and says, 'This is mine; each one by himself, each one for himself.' Here, then, is a piece of land upon which, henceforth, no one has right to step, save the proprietor and his friends; which can benefit nobody, save the proprietor and his servants. Let these multiply, and soon the people [...] will have nowhere to rest, no place of shelter, no ground to till. They will die of hunger at the proprietor's door, on the edge of that property which was their birth-right; and the proprietor, watching them die, will exclaim, 'So perish idlers and vagrants.'”

  5165.  @ALL_CAPS__  no it’s not necessarily. Mind you the term libertarian originated in the 19th century by anti-statist socialists. The anarchist-communist Joesph DeJacque is credited with popularizing the term. Socialism refers to social ownership of the means of production and labor association. But libertarian socialists do not put the collective over individuals. Fascism is a collectivist doctrine of putting the collective over the individual. The Fasces being a symbol of power and strength in unity over the feeble individual. For anarchists, the idea that individuals should sacrifice themselves for the “group” or “greater good” is nonsensical. Groups are made up of individuals, and if people think only of what’s best for the group, the group will be a lifeless shell. It is only the dynamics of human interaction within groups which give them life. “Groups” cannot think, only individuals can. This fact, ironically, leads authoritarian “collectivists” to a most particular kind of “individualism,” namely the “cult of the personality” and leader worship. This is to be expected, since such collectivism lumps individuals into abstract groups, denies their individuality, and ends up with the need for someone with enough individuality to make decisions — a problem that is “solved” by the leader principle. Stalinism and Nazism are excellent examples of this phenomenon. Therefore, anarchists recognise that individuals are the basic unit of society and that only individuals have interests and feelings. This means they oppose “collectivism” and the glorification of the group. In anarchist theory the group exists only to aid and develop the individuals involved in them. This is why we place so much stress on groups structured in a libertarian manner — only a libertarian organisation allows the individuals within a group to fully express themselves, manage their own interests directly and to create social relationships which encourage individuality and individual freedom. So while society and the groups they join shapes the individual, the individual is the true basis of society. Hence Malatesta: “Much has been said about the respective roles of individual initiative and social action in the life and progress of human societies ... Everything is maintained and kept going in the human world thanks to individual initiative ... The real being is man, the individual. Society or the collectivity — and the State or government which claims to represent it — if it is not a hollow abstraction, must be made up of individuals. And it is in the organism of every individual that all thoughts and human actions inevitably have their origin, and from being individual they become collective thoughts and acts when they are or become accepted by many individuals. Social action, therefore, is neither the negation nor the complement of individual initiatives, but is the resultant of initiatives, thoughts and actions of all individuals who make up society ... The question is not really changing the relationship between society and the individual ... It is a question of preventing some individuals from oppressing others; of giving all individuals the same rights and the same means of action; and of replacing the initiative to the few [which Malatesta defines as a key aspect of government/hierarchy], which inevitably results in the oppression of everyone else ... [Anarchy] These considerations do not mean that “individualism” finds favour with anarchists. As Emma Goldman pointed out, “‘rugged individualism’... is only a masked attempt to repress and defeat the individual and his individuality. So-called Individualism is the social and economic laissez-faire: the exploitation of the masses by the ruling classes by means of legal trickery, spiritual debasement and systematic indoctrination of the servile spirit ... That corrupt and perverse ‘individualism’ is the straitjacket of individuality . . It has inevitably resulted in the greatest modern slavery, the crassest class distinctions driving millions to the breadline. ‘Rugged individualism’ has meant all the ‘individualism’ for the masters, while the people are regimented into a slave caste to serve a handful of self-seeking ‘supermen.’” [Red Emma Speaks] While groups cannot think, individuals cannot live or discuss by themselves. Groups and associations are an essential aspect of individual life. Indeed, as groups generate social relationships by their very nature, they help shape individuals. In other words, groups structured in an authoritarian way will have a negative impact on the freedom and individuality of those within them. However, due to the abstract nature of their “individualism,” capitalist individualists fail to see any difference between groups structured in a libertarian manner rather than in an authoritarian one — they are both “groups”. Because of their one-sided perspective on this issue, “individualists” ironically end up supporting some of the most “collectivist” institutions in existence — capitalist companies — and, moreover, always find a need for the state despite their frequent denunciations of it. These contradictions stem from capitalist individualism’s dependence on individual contracts in an unequal society, i.e. abstract individualism.

  5166.  @FOLIPE  as I said. State Socialism and social democracy are not ideal. Here are some quotes of anarchist Mikhail Bakunin explaining the libertarian position of genuine socialism. “I am truly free only when all human beings, men and women, are equally free. The freedom of other men, far from negating or limiting my freedom, is, on the contrary, its necessary premise and confirmation.” “We are convinced that liberty without socialism is privilege, injustice; and that socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality.”

  5181. Mitchem Callahan capitalism is antithetical to liberal free enterprise. Capitalism is the liberal offspring of Mercantilism. Capitalism strives off State favors and privileges. The causes of World Wars 1& 2 were nation-state capitalist interests. Even the Marxist-Leninists recognized it, which is why those parties were against workers going out to die for the capitalist overlords. Classical liberalism is the root of market socialism. Capitalism is rooted in bourgeois elitism and liberalism for only the owners of capital. True Free Markets are anti-capitalist. The capitalist class in the ruling class of the State, and they keep their power and wealth by limiting free competition. It’s why rent, profit, and interest are existent; because of their restrictions on free markets.

Right wingers don’t want rebellion, they only rebel when society and the world is progressing and they’re getting left behind. Do not forget the history of the Left. We change the world, we want progress, we rebel against conservative status quo and traditional hierarchies.

History, post-industrialism, and multinational corporate age proved to be perpetual wage slavery. Quit acting like you know anything about Anarchism. You didn’t even know what it was until Libertarian Socialists started commenting on these videos. Capitalism involves a minarchist or otherwise STATE to protect property laws and rights.

Little do they teach that socialism lead to anti-statist, anti-authority ideologies. It’s called Anarchism. And the first Socialist Revolution was a participatory social democracy of decentralize political structures from the bottom-up. It’s called the Paris Commune, where radical liberals, Marxists, and Anarchists came together for the first experiment in egalitarian and classless society since earliest Homo Sapien societies.

They certainly try, but a State can only control the masses so much, there’s too much individual diversity and people. Giving them that much power, which they don’t have, is a ridiculous fallacy. They don’t control the weather, nor minds, nor nature etc… The apparatus of controls is meant to keep order and authority, but they know they can’t control everything as a hive mind. The conspiracists who give them that much power only deny themselves, and make excuses to not do anything if the situation were that dire. The reason the State is in constant defensive mode is because it knows control is a loose thread ready to unravel by any measure. If they controlled everything we would have a decent economy, knowing that it’s necessary for stability. Control is a measure made by a desperate elite to maintain their privileges, and they are in constant fear of losing it, because they can never assume complete control, only maintain the illusion of it and compromise. That said, your instincts aren’t wrong. Be wary of mainstream media, and social media platforms

Socialism advocates classless societies and some form of socializing the factors of production. This can be public ownership, direct worker’s control and self-management etc... Actual Democratic Socialism is post-Capitalist and Marxist ideas implemented through democratic institutions instead of revolutionary methods. They would seek to end Capitalism. George Orwell was a famous Democratic Socialist. Socialism is not government subsidies and welfare. It is a broad ideology that. And there are socialists that are anti-capitalist but pro-markets. That is to say in favor of socialist market-oriented economies instead of capitalist ones.

  5289. billhicks8 lol I just read that diatribe of Nazi talking points. “Conflict Theory” while inspired by Marx’s dialectic class struggle, was a field of analyzing social relations in Sociology. Conflict Theory goes alongside Structural Functionalism and the third one about individual social relations. Nothing to do with Marxism and capitalist critique. That’s like saying Social Darwinism is the same as Darwinism, it isn’t. It’s the same far right reactionaries still talking about cultural Marxism being a Jewish plot. How the hell do they fit so many contradictions in one conspiracy? Capitalists and financial bankers are Marxists 🤣, trying to erode western (by which they define as white) civilization. And liberal feminism, environmentalism, multiculturalism all the isms are a scheme to end the white race or some some shit. If there were a socialist cultural takeover of popular media and institutions then television wouldn’t be about commercialization, corporate owned networks, and education preparing the salary workers and services of the future for the capitalist market.

Anarchists have tended to feel close to Republican authors, e.g., Benjamin Tucker who wrote, "Anarchists are simply Jeffersonian democrats till the last consequences and without fear of it. They believe that 'the best government is that which governs least', and that which governs least does not govern at all", referring to quotes from Thomas Jefferson and Henry David Thoreau. Mikhail Bakunin and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon expressed their sympathies to the ideal of Jeffersonian democracy and proclaimed it to be close to the anarchist idea.

  5307.  Progressives for Trump  Jefferson was a confederalist for ward republics. He viewed himself as a Virginian, not an American first. Thomas Jefferson was other than Thomas Paine the most radical liberal of the founders. Please stop speaking out you’re ass. Jefferson was a classical liberal meaning he was for limited government. Classical liberalism would become classical libertarianism aka anarchism as the politics further evolved. Whereas liberals though limited government a necessary evil, libertarians saw state and government as unnecessary. The same branch of radical liberal political ideals. Jefferson’s election was called the 2nd American Revolution because what today is known as Jeffersonian Democracy was the platform. Jeffersonian democracy was an influence to anarchist circles. Jefferson also saw the Constitution as an agreement among States, and States are free to secede from the Union, and that the Constitution only gave those implied and limited powers, opposed to Federalists believing Federal government can do anything deemed proper. Jefferson was a radical liberal republican; a precursor and influence to libertarianism politically. But he was a liberal, libertarianism originates in the 19th century well after.

Again it’s why Goldwater was disgusted at the Republican Party in his later years. If conservatives actually represented liberalism they would be against these Republicans that love propping up an unfree economy with monopolies, and they would actually push for individual rights and liberties. They would push for limiting military adventurism in the name of limited government. I’m know actual Jeffersonian classical liberals, which is why they don’t support the Republicans nor Democrats.

  5342.  @theywouldnthavetocensormei9231  I count myself among the defenders of private gun ownership, because I am an anarchist and I see utility in having a population that can challenge the state monopoly on violence if needed. Despite this, I am highly critical of right wing gun culture and it’s simple manichean narratives that cast those who support private ownership as the defenders of liberty and those who oppose private ownership as mad tyrants. Guns are tools. They’re not magic wands, and they don’t inherently signify anything about one’s feelings towards liberty. The idea that mass private ownership of fire arms could potentially be a bulwark against tyranny is valid, but not without some caveats. It’s easy enough to understand the simple logic of “if the people are well armed then they can fight off tyrants.” I often think of anarchist resistance to Franco in the Spanish Civil War and how a well armed peasantry and proletariat might have been a deciding factor in the struggle. Spanish peasants and workers often didn’t have access to private firearms. They had to break into state armories to aquire weapons, and these weapons were often old, out dated, and poorly maintained. What if they had been as well armed as the North American population is today albeit with weapons of the time? Perhaps they wouldn’t have had to rely as much on weapons from Stalin, and maybe his goons wouldn’t have been in a position to stab them in the back as a result. We’ll never know. The flip side that people need to consider is that private fire arms can also be used to establish tyranny. What if a majority of gun owners support a mad man hell bent on personal dictatorship? What if the majority of gun owners in Spain were supporters of Franco? What if the rich are the only people who can afford decent weapons? Sadly this was the case. The rich fascists were indeed the most likely group to be well armed in Spain, because they were on average the most wealthy and well connected. This is the dark side of private fire arms that not many of us want to broach. Now, to be clear, I am not making an argument against private ownership. I am in favor. However, we all need to understand the duality of an armed population if we are going to be an armed population. Education is the first bulwark against tyranny. If people understand how to spot a tyrant they will be less likely to follow one. Social equality is the second. If everyone is taken care of, we won’t have a desperate mass willing to sacrifice their freedom for bread. A culture of non domination is the third. If people are socialized to have an anti authoritarian bias they will find authority repugnant. Horizontal institutions are the fourth. If we have federalism, direct democracy and free association then there won’t be a central node of power which can be used to subordinate the masses. The abolition of the state is a must if we truly want to avoid tyranny. Guns, however, are dead last. Guns are for when everything else has failed. Unfortunately, “the people” are not always the good guys. The people could be progressive working class libertarian socialists, or they could be reactionaries, racists, and totalitarians. Unfortunately, I think we’re trending towards the latter rather than the former these days. A big factor is a simple formula people run through their minds. The formula goes like this; Pro gun = anti tyranny, anti gun = pro tyranny, therefore the most pro gun voice is the most anti tyranny voice. From this point of view anyone can be conned into following an authoritarian, while paradoxically believing they are on the side of liberty. This logic is baked into the American consciousness. The narrative goes that “we’re a revolutionary country and we used our private rifle stockpiles to fight off the tyrannical monarchy.” So, anyone who wants to overthrow the government is just doing 1776 all over again, right? But if guns can be used to knock down authoritarian regimes, can they not also be used to set them up? What if that pro gun leader you’re following has you fooled? What if the obnoxious anti gun liberal is in other ways, more libertarian even if not on that one issue? After all, Mao famously said; power comes at the barrel of a gun. This was not an anti gun quote either, as some have bizarrely claimed. Mao was a guerrilla warlord who established a totalitarian state, and he did it by convincing legions of peasants to follow him by promising land and liberty. Of course after they used their guns to defeat the enemy, they then used their guns to establish a monopoly on violence. White supremacists have a similar formula for taking power; Step one- talk about using the gun to protect freedom. Step two- trick people into using the gun to establish a dictatorship. The famous white supremacist novel “The Turner Diaries” depicts a “revolution” which is kicked off by a liberal seizure of guns. In the book, the white supremacists use terrorism in order to goad the liberal state into confiscating assault rifles. The white supremacist revolutionaries then lead a revolution. What does their revolution look like? Well, they hang every black person, jew, and liberal from a street post. Not very much on the side of liberty were they? But they sure did love their guns! In this book they used the foolishness of white American gun culture to initiate their totalitarian race war. Today this book forms the basic blue print for the strategy of every right wing mass shooter in America. The thing is, one’s position on gun ownership is not really a good litmus test for detecting be tyrants. A tyrant might very well at least initially be very supportive of private firearm ownership before they have consolidated power. Especially if they are attempting to subvert a democracy. This is because they can use their followers as a private army. Meanwhile, perhaps the democrat railing about the evil of guns might be a better friend of liberty, even if they are extremely misguided on this one subject. Consider a boiler plate liberal president. They ban assault rifles, but nominally support unions, gay marriage, the legalization of Marijuana, separation of church and state, easy emigration/immigration, and abortion. Now consider a theocratic president that was a proponent of private fire arms and told his followers to destroy democracy with their fire arms. After doing so, this hypothetical leader then bans abortion, bans emigration and immigration (trapping you there), institutes the death penalty for the sale of Marijuana, and jails union organizers, outlaws homo sexuality of any kind, establishes Christianity as the official state religion. Which scenario gives the individual greater autonomy? It should be obvious. To be clear, I do not support the prohibition of assault rifles, or private ownership. I do not support the democratic party either. I am merely debunking the idea that anyone who supports the prohibition must be a tyrant, and that anyone who is against is on the side of liberty. This is a simple narrative that has led many astray. Authoritarianism is a spectrum. A person can be an authoritarian in one way, and a libertarian in another. This is the case for most people. For instance, people will often support the legalization of weed, while simultaneously believing we should shoot every heroin dealer in the head without a trial. Or they might be highly critical of state violence committed by ICE, but totally fine with police using violence against tenants on a regular basis. Humans are complex and paradoxical, we are not always the rational animals we believe ourselves to be. Next time your leader asks you to break out your rifle. Ask them, why? Look deeper than this one issue. Part of being a gun owner is respecting and acknowledging the potential misuse of weapons. Part of being a libertarian of any kind is thinking critically about how any institution can be used to affect individual autonomy in both positive and negative ways. We don’t want to inadvertently get sucked into doing the bidding of a statist, especially not when we’re doing it at the end of a gun.

Direct Action will always be more democratic than representative democracy. As it is autonomous and self sufficient. As for anarchists any delegation is subject to immediate revocation and in rotation. Anarchists advocate the most decentralize forms of democratic assembly. It’s a beautiful thing.

It begets social tyranny and social engineering to attempt to force culture and social values on others. And along with this social conservatism it is fused with a pro unfettered capitalist advocacy for rule by corporations. I WISH this country’s conservative movement were about traditional institutions, liberal values, and democratic-republicanism. To want to succeed where Americans of the past have failed to create a New World of liberal democracy and republics. This is just more authoritarianism and erosion of check and balances in the government.

  5366. Erik Merrill maybe brush up on American history... The American System was an economic plan that played an important role in American policy during the first half of the 19th century. Rooted in the "American School" ideas of Alexander Hamilton, the plan "consisted of three mutually reinforcing parts: a tariff to protect and promote American industry; a national bank to foster commerce; and federal subsidies for roads, canals, and other 'internal improvements' to develop profitable markets for agriculture". Congressman Henry Clay was the plan's foremost proponent and the first to refer to it as the "American System". Henry Clay's "American System," devised in the burst of nationalism that followed the War of 1812, remains one of the most historically significant examples of a government-sponsored program to harmonize and balance the nation's agriculture, commerce, and industry. This "System" consisted of three mutually reinforcing parts: a tariff to protect and promote American industry; a national bank to foster commerce; and federal subsidies for roads, canals, and other "internal improvements" to develop profitable markets for agriculture. Funds for these subsidies would be obtained from tariffs and sales of public lands. Clay argued that a vigorously maintained system of sectional economic interdependence would eliminate the chance of renewed subservience to the free-trade, laissez-faire "British System." — United States Senate website

Carey, a leading American economist and adviser to Abraham Lincoln, in his book Harmony of Interests, displays two additional points of this American School economic philosophy that distinguishes it from the systems of Adam Smith or Karl Marx: Government support for the development of science and public education through a public 'common' school system and investments in creative research through grants and subsidies. Rejection of class struggle, in favor of the "Harmony of Interests" between: owners and workers, farmer and manufacturers, the wealthy class and the working class. In a passage from his book, The Harmony of Interests, Carey wrote concerning the difference between the American System and British System of economics: Two systems are before the world; ... One looks to increasing the necessity of commerce; the other to increasing the power to maintain it. One looks to underworking the Hindoo, and sinking the rest of the world to his level; the other to raising the standard of man throughout the world to our level. One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other we may be proud to call the American system, for it is the only one ever devised the tendency of which was that of elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world. And I’m not even a nationalist economy guy, I’m a libertarian socialist. Just pointing out that free trade creating prosperity is a myth, and all countries that built economic wealth has their governments protect national economic interests. Since Hamilton your free trade BS was shot down. Keep exploiting labor, that’ll be beneficial to a “free” society.

  5370.  @jimbob9407  doesn’t even matter these morons don’t realize that students can use the *INTERNET*. But conservatives are attacking mild things from their ignorance, like any books with LGBTQ characters. So long as it isn’t erotica. I remember reading books about kids in urban environments dealing with drugs and such… it’s literature. True traditionalists were folks like John Adams and his son, whom supported the teaching of philosophy and the classical arts and universities. In lower education people should be reading literature of different genders to understand the craft and comprehensive reading skills. Conservatives as usual are still fighting against liberalism and the values of the Enlightenment

  5397. Daniel Vargas but at the same time that’s undermining anti-imperialist leftist tendency. I’m an anarchist the Democratic Confedralist Kurds are much closer to my ideals than they are social democrats and Bernie Sanders. But their revolution can’t last in the midst of religious extremists and theocratic states. It’s just not a good place to have any anarchist or libertarian revolution. They’d never be safe. So the best thing to do is end it and make a deal with Syria. Their lives are more important than a revolution that wouldn’t last surrounded by enemies. And all this illegal occupation has to end. We can aid the Kurds in other ways. But America is not the world’s police. As an anarchist self determination is ideal. And here’s the truth. All these elites saying this military should maintain occupancy elsewhere aren’t willing to wear tin hats, arm themselves, and go fight these wars and interfere. We have solidarity with the libertarian left and worker’s worldwide. But that hasn’t happened at a large enough level for people to be able to freely go around and help their comrades worldwide. The networks aren’t there. What this nation has to do is instead of becoming the world police is becoming the world’s EMTs.

Whether the catalyst is themselves fascist or not, they are certainly laying the foundation for worse demagoguery and authoritarianism. In case you haven’t noticed authoritarian tendencies have been claiming ground as mainstream right wing positions. From MAGA in the USA, to Bolsenaro in Brazil, and nor Italy with Meloni. Hungary has also had this problem and we’re seeing the rise of a reactionary Christian nationalist and extremist social conservatism in the wake of the end of the Neoliberal order.

  5438. Jared Mueller idiot. Libertarian socialists were and are the true anarchists. We are the true proponents of voluntarism. Socialists developed the philosophy of ant-Statism. We oppose hierarchies like capitalism. We advocate decentralized planning economies and free market anarchism (libertarian market socialism). Socialism isn’t all Marxist-Leninist and Statist. The reason moderate leftists look towards government is CAUSE of the problems of capitalism. We will bring them back to the true leftist ideals of limited and no government, and decentralized socialism. Meanwhile right wingers will be made to accept that they support a system of hierarchy and plutocracy (rule of wealth). Libertarianism is about voluntary associations and non-hierarchic social structures and relations. That puts capitalists outside the libertarian schools. Don’t worry about us. Real libertarians will bring the left back to its roots of egalitarianism and limited to no government. Once we expose the fraudulence of the right wingers claiming the market economy is the same as capitalism. Market Socialism and decentralized will replace this system of labor exploitation and private tyranny.

  5440. I have to chuckle at, is the idea that her going North is somehow an amazingly noble act that would make Jon bend the knee. It's the bare minimum. Jorah is her top adviser next to Tyrion. Jon is an important ally. The mission they're on is a plan Tyrion came up with. Dany going North to save her friends and allies and to salvage a plan that her Hand came up with (and that is by extension, a mission that she is responsible for), is not some extraordinary act of selflessness. It's good yes, but it's not like the fight against the WW doesn't concern her. It fucking concerns everyone. It's not like she's helping Jon out with something that has no bearing on her plans. His mission is core to her plans at this point. She should be putting herself at risk not for Jon specifically, but for the entire fucking Kingdom. The Kingdom she claims to be the Protector of. If she is the Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, then it is her duty to protect those Seven Kingdoms. She doesn't get brownie points for finally realizing that doing your duty is more important than acting like an entitled brat, a realization that Stannis came to in Season 4. Once again, doing your duty as ruler is the bare minimum. Finally, it is absurd in my opinion to say that they have "by far the best and most believable" romance of the show, when they didn't have a single personal scene together before Episode 6. They have only ever discussed politics and the war. Sexual attraction + political discussions doesn't equal love. It is rushed and forced because it didn't happen organically, and they are now supposed to be completely in love despite barely knowing each other.

  5478.  @thepolishlatinofromphilly9709  You need to study liberal history a little more. "Laissez faire" was a battle cry of the radical liberals in France. Liberalism is a philosophy born out of the enlightenment. How is laissez faire right wing when it literally is no government or State intervention? Capitalism is right wing as it's predicated on hierarchic business and socioeconomic structures. Liberalism is the precursor to Libertarianism, that is to say Anarchism which is Socialist. Liberalism was simply the ideal that people were free to commerce in markets without the heavy hand of government getting in the way of people's work and commerce. And in those days the majority of people were farmers, artisans, and merchants... people worked for themselves mostly and owned their labor, though there was still some employment. It was classical liberals who developed the labor theory of value, which socialists believe in. It was when capitalism spread in the mid 19th century that socialism in it's notable ideological form grew out of liberal circles, as seen in the French Revolution, in response to the bourgeoisie ruling class and owners of capital implementing a rigid socioeconomic system of haves and have nots. Thus the liberal roots of Socialism. The problem with the left or moderate left today is they look towards government to restrain capitalism. In my opinion that's the influence of Statist forms of Marxism. However the problem isn't just capitalism, it's the State and government as well. Even with nice social democratic reforms the exploitative capitalist system is maintained, and society is till stratified in classes. The actual Leftist solution is Socialism and Libertarianism. Post-capitalism. Instead of trying to enlarge government to put band aids on capitalism, revolutionize into a Socialist system. There's room for much social experimentation. We need to look towards Free Market Socialism, and Decentralized Planning. That is leftism.

Laissez faire as an economic doctrine is government staying out of business that is literally a left position, usually a liberal one which isn't as far left as libertarianism, but it's a left position nonetheless. You're conflating capitalism, a right wing socioeconomic system, with all of liberal economics which is ridiculous as Socialism was born out of liberalism. Just look at David Ricardo’s development of the labor theory of value, or Thomas Hodgskin’s “Labor Defended Against the Claims of Capital” Maybe this Benjamin Tucker quote can explain better: "The economic principles of Modern Socialism are a logical deduction from the principle laid down by Adam Smith in the early chapters of his Wealth of Nations,—namely, that labor is the true measure of price. But Adam Smith, after stating this principle most clearly and concisely, immediately abandoned all further consideration of it to devote himself to showing what actually does measure price, and how, therefore, wealth is at present distributed. Since his day nearly all the political economists have followed his example by confining their function to the description of society as it is, in its industrial and commercial phases. Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be. Half a century or more after Smith enunciated the principle above stated, Socialism picked it up where he had dropped it, and in following it to its logical conclusions, made it the basis of a new economic philosophy."

  5480. The Polish Latino from Philly you have though. Laissez faire is essential for socialism as the economy should be under direct worker’s ownership with limited State involvement. You have a hard time distinguishing concepts or understanding history. Laissez faire isn’t indicative of privatization, but of a free economy. The word privatization was a term created to explain the Nazi economy, and they did not believe in laissez faire. Laissez faire is the same concept socialism that isn’t Marxist-Leninist champions. Worker’s associating freely in industrial federation/confederation. Market Socialism is as much a strain of liberal economics as capitalism is. The difference is one is pro-labor the other pro-capital. Or one is socialist the other capitalist. Socialism isn’t synonymous with public ownership or nationalization. It’s about egalitarian classless society and there are libertarian and Statist models. Market or planning models. The left-right spectrum has to do with politics not economics. Statist Socialism (Marxist-Leninism) where the State controls and everything is nationalized and centralized is right wing, Anarchism is leftist. Liberalism is moderate left or centrist at this point, which includes Democratic Socialism, or evolutionary Marxism as there is a State and government ruled by liberal institutions and ideals.
    1
  5481. The Polish Latino from Philly no actually I’m not confusing anything. Laissez faire is a liberal concept that anarchists share, as in anarchism there is literally no government to get involve in the economic affairs of people. What I’m trying to educate you on is laissez faire isn’t a right wing concept, it’s not even synonymous with privatization. It just means limited or no State intervention in economic affairs. Left Communism and Marxism like Rosa Luxemburg’s Council Communism also didn’t believe in Statist involvement in the affairs of workers

  5482.  @krazykitty7277  ditto on Elliot Kim’s response. Through no fault of their own, other than the responsibility of continuing to elect these sell outs, Red States are subsidized by Federal grants, which come from the coastal cities. Urban areas that tend to be Democratic and liberal are the economic, technological, and financial hubs of the modern economy. As important as agriculture is, free trade capitalism takes precedent and we trade with other nations for foodstuffs and such as well. Big Agro is also dominant in our agricultural produce. The solution is to remember we are a Federation. I’m a leftist and believe it or not we in the far left have always favored Confederalism. We need more State autonomy, and allow each State to find their way. That way liberal States don’t have to subsidize conservative States, and conservatives and liberals can feel their cultural values respected. Liberal states can unify for a universal healthcare system and allow States to opt out of Federal policies or programs they feel they are better off without. In the end constituencies will have to determine whether or not their politicians are working out for their interests or not. But yes we need a restructuring of American Federalism and start devolving the issues.
    1
  5483. @Elliott Kim I wholeheartedly have no issue with social conservatism even though I’m VERY socially progressive. The issue is whether progressives or conservatives try to legislate each other’s way of life. We need civic libertarianism. And an actual American conservative political organization that respects traditional values, Republicanism, liberal democracy, federalism, and rooted in classical liberalism. More Jeffersonian democracy, and Thomas Paine, less Trump pseudo-nationalism and religious tyranny. Goldwater warned us that this would happen, that religious extremists were taking over the Republican Party, and that would be the end of conservatism for far right nationalism. I try to remind conservatives that to be an American conservative is to be a liberal in the classical tradition.

The country is so entrenched in capitalism that they forget that a social democrat like Sanders is the savior of their capitalist socioeconomic order, just like FDR was. History is rhyming and the answers to unfettered capitalism are far left socialism and far right fascism. As poverty rises, corruption abounds, and economy destabilizes people will radicalize and push to the extremes. Sincerely, a libertarian socialist.

  5517.  @MrGreensweightHist  I think social democrats idiotically put their marbles on centralized government to cure the problems caused by government itself. Every socialist understands capitalism is the real governing power that directs and administrates government. Yang is no where near a viable solution, however the push for electoral reform is a necessary one. The UBI should be funded through the Single Tax of LVT. Georgism is the answer to taxation. Everyone who thinks the solution is welfare funded by taxing of labor is no ally to labor. Under a Georgist policy the only tax would be on land value rent; which would be sufficient enough to fund UBI, public utilities, infrastructure, and social services. From there labor organization has better bargaining power due to the freer economy. If government funding was done through an LVT and Pigouvian taxes to disincentivize terrible practices, the land monopoly destroyed so that labor or producers will have greater control of their work. Limiting government to it’s basic functions of public projects, and social welfare would limit it’s role and centralized powers to do harm, as with military adventurism.
    1
  5518.  @MrGreensweightHist  you mean the LIBERAL (limited government) constitution that was supposed to make the parameters of Federal government clear in that legal document? The Constitution wasn’t meant to be carte blanche to do whatever the Feds wanted at the expense of States and municipalities. At least not to the liberal branch of American founders. Others like the conservatives and Federalists desired a powerful federal centralized government that the rabble and poor may be better controlled. The further centralizing of national and federal power has lead us here, among many other things, that the Federal government seek to rule out from an out of touch district in D.C.; that the executive branch has been steadily increasing powers to the point where they make war at any time; and to the point that one appointed Justice of the SCOTUS is enough to terrify the population of loss of civil rights already fought and won. And no social democracy isn’t power to the people, it’s still representative bourgeois democracy where you leave your livelihoods to the whims of a political class, under a system of monopolist-corporate capitalism. REAL self-government is the leftist and libertarian socialist advocacy of popular assembly, worker’s councils, decentralized federalism, and free association. You know what the socialists fought for before the rise of Bolshevism and Marxism-Leninism popularized centralized bureaucracy. The enemy of socialism is the capitalist state, the government and ruling property owners. Hence why all socialists before the Bolsheviks (though even they share this end goal) called for none other than the abolition of the State for a federation of federations, and labor associations. I assure you leftism is against the band aid of social democracy which solves only first world problems at the expense of the developing and underdeveloped world. However I understand many people are just moderate and relative to leftism are still quite conservative. Social democratic movements in Europe were built on compromises of labor movements and center-right conservative Christian Democrats. Democratic Socialism would be a far better moderate road than social democracy in my opinion.
    1
  5519.  @MrGreensweightHist  no it wasn’t. The Constitution was supported and created by nationalist-federalists who wanted to replace the Articles of Confederation to have better economic control and protect the affluent. The whole point was to respond peasant rebellions, which were actually uniting slaves, indenture servants, and poor whites to a common cause against landowners. The Father of the Constitution said: “In England, at this day, if elections were open to all classes of people, the property of the landed proprietors would be insecure. An agrarian law would soon take place. If these observations be just, our government ought to secure the permanent interests of the country against innovation. Landholders ought to have a share in the government, to support these invaluable interests, and to balance and check the other. They ought to be so constituted as to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority. The senate, therefore, ought to be this body; and to answer these purposes...” — James Madison

Conservatism is dead and was replaced by nationalists and religious fundamentalists. “Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise.

Economists have already analyzed this and saw that if automation were the problem so far there would have been increase in productivity. But there isn’t. Automation is problem for the near future though and should be addressed now. And that’s why I like Yang. But he’s too Technocratic capitalist for my taste.

And took up arms to defend themselves from Fascists, who unfortunately won. Then you have Marxists like Marxist-Leninists who take a Statist approach. How do you think Capitalism was established?

  5613. Doctor Lemon lol just what I expect from an ignorant kneeler. Hey by the way did you know the most liberated civilization was the Anarcho-Syndicalist Catalonia where they abolished State and worker’s took over industry in worker’s syndicates and decentralized associations? Of course not. As George Orwell said : “Socialism means a classless society, or it means nothing at all. And it was here that those few months in the militia were valuable to me. For the Spanish militias, while they lasted, were a sort of microcosm of a classless society. In that community where no one was on the make, where there was a shortage of everything but no privilege and no bootlicking, one got, perhaps, a crude forecast of what the opening stages of socialism might be like. And, after all, instead of disillusioning me it deeply attracted me. The effect was to make my desire to see socialism established much more actual than it had been before.” George Orwell, ‘Homage to Catalonia’

If you don’t understand something why pretend you do? Conservatives and right wingers always stick to the status quo and believe the world is as it should be. The aristocrats and Church pulled the same crap with liberals and ideals of republic, democracy, and limited government. No belief of actual direct action and will for social revolution. Stay in your lane, you’re safe bowing down to people above you, it’s all you can believe is reality.

The colonialists weren’t technically immigrants, the First Nations did not have a formal State and centralized authority to take passports and allow immigrants to their Nations. Which as an anarchist I love their decentralist society without rigid centralization. But colonialism is a system of imperialism, it wasn’t genuine immigration. Migration sure but again immigration doesn’t exist if you aren’t going to a genuine established State with laws and regulations for immigration status.

  5630. AQuietNight you expect much to want the average consumer to think about the national economy. Most live off their budget and they’ll get whatever is cheapest. This economy is drenched in capitalist privilege and State intervention. When big business monopolizes it is not in the consumers hands. This is the problem with capitalism, it’s not actual liberal economics and free enterprise. The right libertarians will have you believe it is though. Neoliberalism is not classical liberalism. It was Economic Nationalism (Hamiltonian and American System) that generated this country’s wealth, along with slavery. Not necessarily Free Trade, Federalists, Whigs, and Republicans were against Free Trade.

  5635.  @jfhcjxnd6806  that hasn’t been established. We know from season 2 that Dr. Brenner started a program of injecting babies and their mother’s in the womb with special drugs. That gave birth to the psychic children of the program. Now it’s possible the drugs were made from Henry Creel’s blood, but we don’t know if the abilities have anything to do with blood and DNA. It could just be hallucinogen drugs. We don’t know how Henry was born with powers but Dr. Brenner was interested in him. We know the sins of his father, but not the mother. How did the mom know that Henry was the one tormenting the family? She knew he had powers. Was she part Brenner’s experiments, or did she take drugs pregnant with Henry? It certainly seems like drugs were involved with all the other children with abilities. But it’s not like they’re clones of number 1. But again it’s possible they used his blood to perfect the drugs. They never confirmed it, only said after Henry Brenner started a program to create more psychics like him. But there’s two episodes left this season so we’ll likely find out more.
    1
  5636.  @jfhcjxnd6806  Brenner didn’t say he took Henry’s blood and injected it into pregnant women. In season 2 when 11 found her mother it was explained that drugs are the cause of psychic born. We didn’t see Virginia pregnant with Henry, but she knew he had the powers, which means she must have taken the drugs, may be even knew of Dr. Brenner. When Henry uses his powers his nose bleeds like all the others. All they said was that after Henry, Brenner looked for more psychic children and started a program. It’s certain drugs taken by pregnant women that makes psychics. There’s no reason to believe Henry was different, just that he was the first subject, whether purposefully or by accident we don’t know yet. But no they didn’t say Creel’s DNA or blood was used to make psychics, it’s some kind of drug concoction. They didn’t say Creel was used to MAKE others, they just said after him Brenner started a program to make more people like him (psychics).

  5639. Maxwell Seltzer tell that to the worker’s exploited in “third world countries”. Even in your own country you’ll find homeless, and working poor. Capitalism is not responsible for advancement in the sciences and technology. Even the autocracy that was the USSR were advancing technology so much the US bulked up their publicly funded military-collegiate-government research and development to keep up. Hence the birth of internet, computers, satellite phones, cell phones etc... Today that complex goes on with medicine. Einstein, a fellow socialist, explained why capital is not what drives advancement, but brilliant minds given the resources and space to do what they love. Hence the socialist belief in individualism, that the greater the equality of material resources and free time, the greater individualism flourishes. Community socioeconomically, Individualist all other times. “The Soul of Man Under Socialism” as Oscar Wilde called it.

  5640. Maxwell Seltzer the belief in hierarchy and authority itself is right wing politics. Left wing calls for egalitarianism and freedom from coercion, furthest left is Anarchism/Libertarianism which believed in autonomy in all aspects of live be it social, political, work etc... Anarchism grew out of the Socialist philosophy of classless society to interpret the role the State plays in authority and coercion. Anarchism is the ideology that developed anti-statism, anti-authority, anti-hierarchies. Indeed one of the key definitions of Anarchism is the belief in abolishing all unjustified hierarchies and institutions excusing the use of coercion and authority. Anthropologists tell us more or less primitive communities were stateless and egalitarian, with fluid hierarchy if any but no concentration of power or rigid social stratification. This was the result of the city-state, the origins of the state, during the Agricultural Revolution in which a minority took to control the surplus of produce and create more rigidly stratified societies.
    1
  5641. Maxwell Seltzer the wealth created in capitalism is reserved to the owners of capital. Capitalism relies on an underclass of labor. Your idea of wealth is national currency, already a monopolized State feature. Socialists believe the labor theory of value. Currency would be better off labor notes, which are used to obtain goods and service reciprocal to the amount of labor one produces. Such as if I produced 800 shoes in a shift, the my labor notes would say that and could be used to purchase anything up to 800 shoes produced. Be it food, appliances, clothes etc... The value produced is what purchases other articles of equal or similar value. This would be a real Communist exchange as did Revolutionary Catalonia. Currency is what ever is seen as a legit medium of exchange. Josiah Warren’s Time Store was one such successful use of Time notes, but he moved on to spread the roots of Free Market Anarchism in America. I believe in a world of radical Free markets (market socialism) and more communist communities for whoever prefer.

  5642.  @justinmiller947  The human rights of transgender people, and specifically of vulnerable transgender youth, are being systematically denied and dismantled all over the United States. To advance this violent oppression, the states and politicians in question use more than merely legislation and executive orders. Political actors who fear the freeing and transformative power of gender nonconformity employ pervasive propaganda which misleads the public about transgender and gender nonconforming individuals. If you’re not especially familiar with the range of experiences transgender and non-binary people go through, now might be a great time to familiarize yourself with their struggles; gender hierarchies in society are a form of coercive social control, and people who hold political and social power will be trying to deceive you about the lives and goals of trans people. If you wish to protect vulnerable people from abuses of state power, you should arm yourself with the information needed to combat insidious, state-funded, transphobic propaganda. People you love and trust may be taken in by this fearmongering, convinced to clamor for government to “protect” transgender youths from proven, effective medical treatments which drastically improve their medical outlook and life quality. False assertions will be made, claiming that gender-affirming treatments such as puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are being inappropriately prescribed at the behest of overzealous parents or rogue doctors. You’ll be told, without evidence, how young children are being “disfigured” in “sex change operations.” Self-interested politicians may even convince your friends or family that their own child has been forced or manipulated into adopting “ridiculous” pronouns or expressing a preferred name other than their given name. These powerful manipulators want to obfuscate the truth: You can’t change someone’s experience of gender through force or manipulation — they’ve been trying for a long time — and viewing your child’s identity, pronouns, and expression as “ridiculous” will significantly increase their risk of death by suicide. As it has been established in study after study, receiving gender-affirming care such as HRT improves the quality of life of trans people. We know the effects of puberty blockers are completely reversible, and going through changes in puberty that match assigned gender rather than experienced gender can be an extended traumatic experience which stays with many trans people for a lifetime. Worse yet, if any entity is forcing transgender youth to undergo procedures they don’t really want, it is those states which require surgery as a condition of changing one’s state-mandated gender identifier. A recent and egregious example comes from the state of Texas, where Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton are currently threatening the use of overwhelming state force to steal transgender youths away from their supportive families and deny them scientifically proven and safe medical treatments. The opinion from the Attorney General’s office declares that puberty blockers and HRT cause “mental or emotional injury to a child that results in an observable and material impairment in the child’s growth, development, or psychological functioning,” yet cites no scientific or medical basis on which to make this judgment. Without evidence, the opinion seems to assume treating gender dysphoria “can” cause such harm, and thus should always constitute “abuse” — a patently absurd reading, considering this law is not interpreted to categorically label spanking, circumcision, or refusal of lifesaving medical procedures as “abuse.” If this opinion is enforced, it will have the effect of creating new law by interpretive fiat — law which specifically targets transgender youth for removal from their families, and placement in a foster system likely to kill them. This attempted mass-kidnapping is not informed by evidence, nor law, nor compassion. In truth, the reason this directive exists can only be this: both men were facing primary elections within the week. Politicians, their appointees, and their talking heads will continue to manipulate the public with unfounded fears about gender-affirming medicine as long as the strategy works. In order to prevent such manipulative abuses of power, it’s crucial to equip yourself and your loved ones with facts to counter the lies propagated by power-hungry tyrants. You may well save a life.

We need a restructuring of the federation if states want to be more independent of the federal government, and liberal states that want a national healthcare system can do so at a state level and have a working system along like minded states. For all their mudslinging at liberal states, republicans are careful not to mention that liberal states like California are the money machines of the country, and they prop up the other States at their expense. We need a serious structural change of American federalism

  5699. IronskullGM One delegates powers to the States. The other protects rights of citizens to life, liberty, and property which are not to be taking without due process of law. Meaning were the country to be lead by Socialists they would legally be able to declare private property as an affront to the people’s right to property. You see to Socialists private property is not the same as personal property. We’re not taking away personal belongings, we’re democratizing the means of production such as land, buildings, machines, etc... And frankly it doesn’t have to be done by declaration of law declaring private property against natural law, as the Earth’s resources are either unowned or commonly owned by the people that live, and giving privilege to individuals to own it is done by authority and force. Collectivized sectors could just arise and spread under guidance of Socialist organizations. Which is why our first goal is education of the masses towards a democratized economy. Indeed as a LibSoc I support local and decentralized organization over the Marxist Statist approach. I’m no Marxist. FYI the Social Democrats were once synonymous with Democratic Socialism, a Marxist Democratic and parliamentary method of transitioning to a post-Capitalist system. But it’s clear they long abandoned their Marxist roots as they stopped being post-Capitalists content with reforms and regulations. Remaining Social Liberals not looking to reach a Socialist economy. This is the case of Social Democracy today. “All Property, indeed, except the Savage's temporary Cabin, his Bow, his Matchcoat, and other little Acquisitions, absolutely necessary for his Subsistence, seems to me to be the Creature of public Convention. Hence the Public has the Right of Regulating Descents, and all other Conveyances of Property, and even of limiting the Quantity and the Uses of it. All the Property that is necessary to a Man, for the Conservation of the Individual and the Propagation of the Species, is his natural Right, which none can justly deprive him of: But all Property superfluous to such purposes is the Property of the Publick, who, by their Laws, have created it, and who may therefore by other Laws dispose of it, whenever the Welfare of the Publick shall demand such Disposition. He that does not like civil Society on these Terms, let him retire and live among Savages. He can have no right to the benefits of Society, who will not pay his Club towards the Support of it.” - Benjamin Franklin

  5700. IronskullGM Well I’m not DSA. And yeah again Democratic Socialism is a Statist strand of Socialism that seeks to take over government to transition to a Socialist socioeconomic system. It’s not a new idea as you can see from the Ben Franklin quote there are different ideas of property. In Socialist thought the property we’re against is the means of production. It was taking by authority from the commons. The world’s resources belong to its inhabitants. That’s the belief. Giving that “private property” to the people isn’t taking away right to property from the people but giving it to them. It would be taking it away from individuals, but Socialists see their privileged ownership as being taking from the common people by force anyway. Capitalism has thrived through the State and use of force to take Capital. Not that hard a concept. The DSA are in part true Democratic Socialists. They want to take the State through Democratic principles and methods to transition to a post-Capitalist system. They’re not Leninist authoritarians, they seek to garner public support to get elected into offices through their Socialist platform. They’re not taking personal property, but private property aka the means of production for private individuals and giving it to the workers. Or that’s what they would push for, workers cooperatives.
    1
  5701. IronskullGM Lol so says the Capitalist “double speak” person equating all Socialism to Marxist-Leninist State Capitalism. Please don’t pull that crap George Orwell was a Democratic Socialist, a real comrade. Anyway again you may not have to close down business and give them to the workers. Just start a collectivized sector that’ll expand. Every year businesses close their doors allowing for new ones to replace them. Hence start a worker’s coop sector that can expand. Socialist organization should concern itself with education and changing the system from the local upward. This is what I always recommend them. As for large corporations why not use the German law that has worker’s voice in the board of directors depending on the numbers employed. Mondragon in Spain is the largest worker’s coop in the world, successful, and as big as any corporate business. You need to understand there are two strands of Socialism. The Statist kind which includes Marxist-Leninist authoritarianism, or Democratic Socialism closer to the other strand but still committed to government. Then there is the Libertarian strand. Could care less about government and look towards decentralized free associations of worker’s collectives ran democratically. In other words the Anarchist (anti-Statist, anti-Capitalist) branch. Bitch all you want doesn’t change the fact that the most liberated societies have been these Libertarian (Anarchist) Socialist societies that rid themselves of hierarchical structures like State and classes for free associations of workers. I recommend “Homage to Catalonia” by Orwell so that you may grasp what kind of society we’re talking about. No Capitalist system can ever hope to achieve that kind of liberation. Capitalism needs the State to protect private property, to maintain the underclasses, to sustain the Capitalist ruling class, and like it or not to prevent market monopolies. Tyranny whether from the State or Capitalists is against freedom of the individual. The Classical Liberals fought against concentrations of wealth, power, and prestige. It’s no different today if you believe in liberation. This country has a history of Socialism. In Lincoln’s day the GOP had the support of Socialist groups. Their motto was “Those who work the mills, should own the mills!” Put down the Cold War propaganda and educate yourself.

  5702. IronskullGM Not exactly. I’m an Anarcho-Syndicalist. Close to fellow Libertarian Socialist Anarcho-Communists but not exactly the same. Anyway George wasn’t Socialist but he did see the the inequality of Capitalist systems. Ultimately he like many other Anarchists took Classical Liberal economics and concluded that land and resources are for the people. And so he recommended the land tax as the only taxation maintaining principles of freedom as well as sustainable. He had comrade Einstein’s admiration. Georgian economics is closer to Anarchist Mutualism than my own philosophy, but we share our inclination towards freedom.

  5703. IronskullGM How am I dumb? The Land Value Tax is exactly what Georgian economics is at it’s core. He held the idea like many thinkers of the Enlightenment and their following Socialist thinkers that land is a common property and so any individual that wishes to make it private property must recompense the community somehow. Though I’m an An-Syn there’d be no government to pay taxes to. Please STFU

  5704. IronskullGM sigh... Mind explaining to me why Individualist Anarchists like Benjamin Tucker are Socialists, and why some support the Anarcho-Communism social organization? It’s because they see it as the perfect combination of individualist and collectivist interests. All anarchy is free societies of free individuals. In a Socialist economy the individual is encouraged to follow their own innate abilities and talents to their leisure. The individual isn’t made to sell their labor, work for hours for a boss, or be an employee. Social Anarchism and Individual Anarchism historically find common interests and grounds for Libertarian societies. Again if you don’t understand the history please STFU. Every Anarchist is for Socialism or Anarchist Markets, not one for Capitalism. Like Henry George we understand means of production are for society not a privileged Capitalist class. Hence why some Socialists would allow private property for recompense to the society, exactly what Georgians push for. Socialism is variant in schools of thought, from Libertarianism to Statist. It’s a post-Capitalist socioeconomic system that advocates a classless society in which the means of production are socially owned. These ideas stem from the Enlightenment. Adam Smith and David Ricardo influences Socialist thought. Jean-Jacques Rousseau advocated worker’s coops. As for your little Kropotkin rant... he was an Anarchist not Marxist. He didn’t push for a State control method, he advocates abolishment of all hierarchies. The Marxist Revolutionaries certainly spilled blood. No different than Classical Liberals or many others in history. Hell you also conveniently leave out Capitalism’s murder history. From imperialism, colonization, slavery, forcing markets upon colonized peoples, the liberal revolutions etc... Funny how Capitalists supported Fascists and the Socialists supported the Liberal Republicans in the Spanish Civil War. Or that Fascist Germany and Italy persecuted Socialists and Marxists and supported the Capitalist classes. Again educate yourself. Capitalism is Social Darwinian sociopathic avarice. Cute you claimed Socialism as Social Darwinist. Is that why the Social Darwinian Nazis preferred Capitalism? Survival of the Fittest. "Competition is the law of the jungle, but cooperation is the law of civilization." — Peter Kropotkin You are really clueless.

  5705. IronskullGM sigh... Anarchist society isn’t about tribalisms. People have a Socialist worldview, or one that advocates communalism and a larger decentralized federal network for collaborative efforts and needs of the community. Why the fuck would the scientist syndicate want world domination, if they adhere to no hierarchies and already are free to do their work. Capitalism is about greed, Socialism is for the individuals talents and abilities to flourish for their and the communities good. Yes Anarchism looks toward global community free of nation-states. It is worker’s solidarity. Never would deny that. But not all are revolutionaries of immediate action. Take Noam Chomsky the old man is an Anarchist that participated in protests but never hurt a fly through violent demonstration. It depends on school of thought. The Fascist ideal of Socialism had nothing to do with class conflict and social ownership, or even worker’s movements. Hitler made clear his despise of Marxist and Socialist movements. According to Fascists Socialism should be an ideology of class collaboration and the people working towards the State’s interests. There are many quotes in Mein Kampf alone to understand this. The world “privatization” was literally coined to describe the Nazis economic policy. In which they privatized banks and industries. Again know the history or STFU! Corporatism is the most common form of Capitalism. Capitalists and the State are allied. Capitalism would collapse without the State. And no moron I don’t advocate murder of the rich. Just fucking educate the masses. The Catalonians didn’t got their Stateless society through war they spent decades studying Anarchist thought and before and during the Civil War took their ideology towards applicable methods. Anarcho-Syndicalism. Yet Franco the Fascist aided by Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin won the war and defeated the Anarchist, Socialists, and Liberals. You’re just having a hard time letting go preconceived notions of Socialism. All your life you probably never heard of Socialism before Marx, of Anarchist societies, of Libertarian Socialism. You must think all Socialism is Marxist-Leninist and therefore have a very Statist negative view of it. Too bad democratization of the economy and libertarian strands flew over your head. Now you can’t accept Libertarian Socialists created classless, and liberated societies the likes that Capitalism never achieved. Their economy thrived, they had a sense of freedom and community not seen in liberal democracies. “No gods, no masters.” This is all recorded in George Orwell’s “Homage to Catalonia.” You moron the Capitalist class leach off the worker’s productivity. They inherit wealth and accumulate it while worker’s settle for wages. What a dumb fuck. Every worker has value unlike the rich CEOs that don’t actually do the work. If you work it you should own it it’s that simple.

  5706. IronskullGM I’ll just bombard your ass with these facts and then I’m out. You’re too narrow minded to believe anything but Capitalist propaganda. In a right-libertarian or "anarcho"-capitalist society, freedom is considered to be a product of property. As Murray Rothbard puts it, "the libertarian defines the concept of 'freedom' or 'liberty'. . .[as a] condition in which a person's ownership rights in his body and his legitimate material property rights are not invaded, are not aggressed against. . . . Freedom and unrestricted property rights go hand in hand." This definition has some problems, however. In such a society, one cannot (legitimately) do anything with or on another's property if the owner prohibits it. This means that an individual's only guaranteed freedom is determined by the amount of property that he or she owns. This has the consequence that someone with no property has no guaranteed freedom at all (beyond, of course, the freedom not to be murdered or otherwise harmed by the deliberate acts of others). In other words, a distribution of property is a distribution of freedom, as the right-libertarians themselves define it. It strikes anarchists as strange that an ideology that claims to be committed to promoting freedom entails the conclusion that some people should be more free than others. However, this is the logical implication of their view, which raises a serious doubt as to whether laissez faire capitalists are actually interested in freedom. Looking at Rothbard's definition of "liberty" quoted above, we can see that freedom is actually no longer considered to be a fundamental, independent concept. Instead, freedom is a derivative of something more fundamental, namely the "legitimate rights" of an individual, which are identified as property rights. In other words, given that "anarcho"-capitalists and right libertarians in general consider the right to property as "absolute," it follows that freedom and property become one and the same. Another important implication of this "liberty as property" concept is that it produces a strangely alienated concept of freedom. Liberty, as we noted, is no longer considered absolute but a derivative of property -- which has the important consequence that you can "sell" your liberty and still be considered free by the ideology. This concept of liberty (namely "liberty as property") is usually termed "self-ownership." But, to state the obvious, I do not "own" myself, as if were an object somehow separable from my subjectivity -- I am myself. However, the concept of "self-ownership" is handy for justifying various forms of domination and oppression -- for by agreeing (usually under the force of circumstances, we must note) to certain contracts, an individual can "sell" (or rent out) themselves to others (for example, when workers sell their labour power to capitalists on the "free market"). In effect, "self-ownership" becomes the means of justifying treating people as objects -- ironically, the very thing the concept was created to stop! As L. Susan Brown notes, "at the moment an individual 'sells' labour power to another, he/she loses self-determination and instead is treated as a subjectless instrument for the fulfilment of another's will." [The Politics of Individualism]

  5707. IronskullGM and so Capitalism will never be freedom. It relies on government intervention to even be sustainable, but ultimately it is an antiquated Social Darwinian system. Anarchists are socialists or for Anarchist Markets, not one is Capitalist. Tyranny whether by government or private owner class is opposed to liberty. And so Anarchists organize society in decentralized federations of free associations. Socialist economies of worker’s ownership, worker’s councils, cooperatives, democratized workplace, self-management, recall etc... Free societies of free individuals in worker’s solidarity. Societies like Anarcho-Syndicalist Catalonia were more liberated than any Capitalist one could ever hope to be. We’re anti-Authority, anti-Statist, and anti-Capitalist. But in the meantime we’ll do anything to alleviate the working class from their owner class exploiters. The more Social Democratic the less concentrated wealth. Ultimately Capitalists support the State. As they did with Franco, Hitler, Pinochet, Mussolini etc... Free Market Capitalism is a fantasy. No system of such concentration of prestige, wealth, and power is sustainable without a government to regulate it. Without a State to protect the Capitalist ruling class. Workers don’t look for employers to work for a salary because they are free to, otherwise they’ll starve and be homeless. They do it cause they have to.

  5708. IronskullGM Capitalism is presented as a “natural” system, formed a bit like mountains or land masses by forces beyond human control, that it is an economic system ultimately resulting from human nature. However it was not established by “natural forces” but by intense and massive violence across the globe. First in the “advanced” countries, enclosures drove self-sufficient peasants from communal land into the cities to work in factories. Any resistance was crushed. People who resisted the imposition of wage labour were subjected to vagabond laws and imprisonment, torture, deportation or execution. In England under the reign of Henry VIII alone 72,000 people were executed for vagabondage. Later capitalism was spread by invasion and conquest by Western imperialist powers around the globe. Whole civilisations were brutally destroyed with communities driven from their land into waged work. The only countries that avoided conquest were those—like Japan—which adopted capitalism on their own in order to compete with the other imperial powers. Everywhere capitalism developed, peasants and early workers resisted, but were eventually overcome by mass terror and violence. Capitalism did not arise by a set of natural laws which stem from human nature: it was spread by the organised violence of the elite. The concept of private property of land and means of production might seem now like the natural state of things, however we should remember it is a man-made concept enforced by conquest. Similarly, the existence of a class of people with nothing to sell but their labour power is not something which has always been the case—common land shared by all was seized by force, and the dispossessed forced to work for a wage under the threat of starvation or even execution. As capital expanded, it created a global working class consisting of the majority of the world’s population whom it exploits but also depends on.

  5709. IronskullGM internet and computers come from decades of government-military R&D public financed research. Only after all the risks and developments in college campuses were individuals able to privatize the tech. And the public has the privilege of purchasing PC’s from these billion dollar worth companies. Shame the computer scientists that developed the innovations in tech never saw the rewards of the Jobs and Gates of the world. Same thing happening within campuses in the medical field today. Profit doesn’t motivate innovation, just motivates profit. Innovation is driven by proper allocation of resources towards people with talents and abilities in their fields. People having the freedom to follow their skills and passions, and having proper resources that’s how you innovate. Given that innovations have occurred in every period in history. Competition for profits motivates efficiency and cheaper methods, not leaps in the sciences. "I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child. The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow-men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society." Albert Einstein, Why Socialism?, 1949

  5746. John Doe this comment was ignorance. Neoliberalism refers to the economic ideology of neo classical liberal economics (Capitalism). Trade deals without borders, free flow of Capital, and global economy. That’s neoliberalism. It was influenced by the Chicago School of Economics and implemented by the conservative administrations of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. The neoliberal age we live in was the end of Keynesianism that started in the FDR administration and focuses on government fiscal policy and demand side economics. Barack Obama is not left wing of anything. The Democratic establishment abandoned Modern Liberal Keynesianism for neoliberalism and Corporative influence. They are now Third Way moderate right wingers. Socially they are liberal, but it is undermined by their economic blunders and servitude to corporate donors. Essentially they pay social liberal lip service to gain votes, but ultimately do nothing for the working class and general public. Progressives being Social Democrats are akin to Modern Liberalism of the FDR era. They would implement a Welfare State and stay within the framework of a Capitalist economy. As well implement Keynesian economic policy. The center-right neoliberal coalition aren’t the Modern Liberals that believe Liberalism is preserved in the modern era by ensuring equality of opportunity, civil rights and liberties, and socioeconomic mobility to ensure individual achievement. Those that call themselves liberal today in America aren’t those, they call themselves such for being moderately socially liberal yet do not implement the policy necessary to affirm that they are socially liberal. They are center-right, similar to the conservative groups in Europe. The establishment is neoliberal, and center right. Whereas historically those who have been progressive are called so because they go against the status quo. This was Roosevelt, FDR who began to re-contextualize what is Liberalism in the modern post-industrial Capitalist age, and today’s Social Democrats who believe in social safety nets and decentralization of wealth and such reforms and regulations.

[...] We want the mines, canals, railways handed over to democratically organised workers' associations. [...] We want these associations to be models for agriculture, industry and trade, the pioneering core of that vast federation of companies and societies, joined together in the common bond of the democratic and social Republic.” - Pierre J Proudhon “The form of association, however, which if mankind continue to improve, must be expected in the end to predominate, is not that which can exist between a capitalist as chief, and work-people without a voice in the management, but the association of the labourers themselves on terms of equality, collectively owning the capital with which they carry on their operations, and working under managers elected and removable by themselves.” - John Stuart Mill

After there was failure of local and state to provide for UBI we opposed the lockdowns so that the economy can return to stable incomes. When the vaccines rolled out we rejected the extremists stances of draconian mandates and conspiratorial anti-science. We also supported the organization and interests of medical workers, and took their grievances to local and state governments. We also collected proper medical equipment to help our medical workers. There were similar projects undertaken by fellow anarchists worldwide. See while the liberals were busy reacting to the nonsense coming from the conspiratorial and anti-medicine right, we were addressing issues at the local and inter-state level.

They looked at this mob and said “these hicks are useful idiots so that we can consolidate power of the security state, and keep feeding them tales that their way of life is being threatened to help us in the streets with the real threat of the Left; while we continue to divide and conquer.” Of course the Feds infiltrate right wing movements to embolden them and then throw them to the grinder once they’ve serve their purpose. They also infiltrate left wing movements to destroy them from within.

Then dumbass conservatives, who claim they are freedom fighters and free thinkers, always follow politicians like they’re their lifeline; and support neoliberal agenda since the 80s. This has produced a system of concentrated monopolies for cheap products that has hallowed out the middle class, and enforced government capture by special interests. And the coward liberals continued capitulating to the conservatives to the point the Democrats are also a neoliberal party, with a social liberal agenda instead of social conservative. Who do conservatives blame? Only Democrats and social liberals 😂

That is for the most part asinine, as one is private ownership, the other is more collective. There are models for Socialist markets that do not function in the Capitalist mode of production. Capitalism is but one form of a Market Economy, and a problematic one. The Capitalist mode of production has long passed it’s use. That is private ownership of the means of production, wage labor, and commodity production. A destructive social Darwinian system. Capitalism is not synonymous with market economy, it’s one mode of production. Just as Socialism isn’t synonymous with planned economy. Socialism and Capitalism aren’t compatible.

  5822. It’s hard for people to divest themselves of socialized bigotries and status quo views. Even the most radical of Anarchists struggle with it, and seek to use their own critical analysis to check themselves before they wreck themselves. We can find allies and solidarity with fellow leftists in our struggles. But this is just a reminder that there will be, intersectional differences that construct one’s views. And women struggle against the hierarchy of patriarchy, and a trans women struggle against patriarchy AND cisgender ism and heteronormativity. If you want to be an ally listen to the grievances and experiences of those you claim to want to be an ally to. But this is just a reminder that it’s hard for everyone to divest themselves from indoctrinations and traditional social constructed and bigotries. In the end the autonomy of marginalized communities will be achieved by their own direct actions, and their own autonomy. Yes to solidarity, but don’t expect others to do all the necessary work that you must do yourselves.Be it BIPOC, Nonbinary, Nuerodivergent etc… Only those of a community understand their struggles, allies listen and those you want to support lead.

  5838.  @dr.gheese3727  anarchists are libertarian socialists not Marxists. In fact they developed before Karl Marx came on the scene, and the anarchists have always hated Marxist State Socialism. In fact the Anarchist Bakunin warned them what would happen with a centralized state: In the first extract, “Critique of the Marxist Theory of the State,” Bakunin, without specifically naming Marx, nevertheless lays the groundwork for attacking what he saw as Marx’s “statism”. “The theory of statism as well as that of so-called ‘revolutionary dictatorship’ is based on the idea that a ‘privileged elite,’ consisting of those scientists and ‘doctrinaire revolutionists’ who believe that ‘theory is prior to social experience,’ should impose their preconceived scheme of social organization on the people. The dictatorial power of this learned minority is concealed by the fiction of a pseudo-representative government which presumes to express the will of the people.” He also eerily but not surprisingly predicted: “The leaders of the Communist Party, namely Mr. Marx and his followers, will concentrate the reins of government in a strong hand. They will centralize all commercial, industrial, agricultural, and even scientific production, and then divide the masses into two armies — industrial and agricultural — under the direct command of state engineers, who will constitute a new privileged scientific and political class.” 1873. “The Dictatorship of the Proletariat... In reality it would be for the proletariat a barrack regime where the standardized mass of men and women workers would wake, sleep, work and live to the beat of a drum; for the clever and learned a privilege, of governing: and for the mercenary minded, attracted by the State Bank, a vast field of lucrative jobbery.” 1869.

  5839.  @dr.gheese3727  as for capitalism being anarchists? Well the market anarchists disagree. Benjamin Tucker was the foremost Individualist Anarchist of America, and his support of radical libertine economics made capitalists sweat. You see actual classical liberals believed in the commons, and that just compensation is due to the public for private ownership of the commons. They also developed labor theories. From the Phsyiocrats to classicists like Adam Smith, David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill, and Thomas Hodgskin etc… The Individualist Anarchists were a diverse group of anti-authoritarian reformers and radicals who regarded individual sovereignty and free market competition as the answer to the social and economic problems of the day. They saw the State as the source and protector of big business titans’ monopoly power and accordingly of the laboring classes’ suffering and deprivation. Building on the ideas of classical economists like John Stuart Mill, Adam Smith and David Ricardo, the Individualists developed theories and experiments addressed to issues ranging from money and banking to private property in land. Because they regarded labor as the source of value and exchanges of unequal values to be exploitative, they formed part of the broader socialist movement. Because they opposed governmental and all other coercive authority over the individual and advocated free and open exchange, they were the forerunners of today’s free market left-libertarians.

  5840.  @dr.gheese3727  socialism is dependent on the abolition of State as it revolutionizes a classless order. Capitalism however needs the State to protect private property. Capitalism started when the State used enclosure acts to privatize lands and kick peasants out of the commons into industrial wage labor. Kevin A Carson’s The Iron Fist Behind the Invisible Hand is a good book as to why free markets isn’t compatible with capitalism. Or as the classical liberal John Stuart Mill said: “The form of association, however, which if mankind continue to improve, must be expected in the end to predominate, is not that which can exist between a capitalist as chief, and work-people without a voice in the management, but the association of the labourers themselves on terms of equality, collectively owning the capital with which they carry on their operations, and working under managers elected and removable by themselves.”

I'm not for letting everyone with a sob story in willy nilly, but there is a process and measures to take. Under Trump I don't think you have to fear negligent border patrol, because it's quite militant. But to say he's exaggerating the situation for his base's support is not a stretch. This isn't the first time a caravan has come to the US seeking asylum, it's just given special attention to stoke xenophobic tendencies of the Republican base. There is a way to be secure on the border without being a xenophobic asshole about it.

  5876. 4th Dimension I am enlightened by Marx’s criticism of the capitalist system, but do not agree with the solutions. Wage labor itself does not promote freedom, and it’s a dull world of soul sucking jobs where the worker is a cog in a machine not able to enjoy fruits of labor other than a paycheck to consume and purchase goods and services. But to say that capitalism or free markets isn’t beneficial is disingenuous. Entrepreneurship and profits inspires new age technologies, methods, and innovations. The problem is Socialism seen as a boogie man. Truth is socialism does well under democratic regulation to creating levels of equal opportunities amongst a society. Social safety nets to aid the lower classes, regulation of public utilities, limiting poverty, social welfare, infrastructure, public schools, collegiate education, etc.. all stand to benefit and improve our society through socialist methods. But I still think capitalism has a place for innovation and individual entrepreneurship. Hence I lean social democrat. Weed out what is beneficial for the society and for the individual, as of yet I don’t see how hardcore pure socialism is more beneficial than no capitalism. I want socialism to prevent the exploitative nature of capitalism to workers, but I wouldn’t go as far left as to eliminate private properties, or free markets, what is true socialism untethered by free enterprise. One thing for sure, saying socialism is bad is bullshit nonsense, as much as saying pure laissez-faire is the perfect economy without problems and truly creates freedom, it doesn’t.

I know that it’s not encouraged to propagate electoral politics and the State; but I figured the working masses need help in this country. I won’t make that mistake again. Bernie failed the left? Since when is liberal corporatism and social democracy a leftist issue? Bernie only failed capitalism. Now that they didn’t even put a band aid on it people will go far left and far right. Anti-capitalism rises again. Ok well I don’t begrudge you helping the working class. But Bernie was just a savior of capitalism, and his system like FDR’s is legit lite-moderate-liberal Corporatism. Collective bargaining, class collaboration, and reform is no substitute for worker ownership and self-management, class struggle, and revolution. I will not vote again for bourgeois politics. I will from now on only support Direct Action and any political organization for decentralization, and increasing federation/confederation of the political system and for economic socialist revolution. No more abating the coercion of government, much less big government.

  5882. Evan Loginov no I’m not either a State Socialist or a Marxist-Leninist. I’m a Libertarian Socialist, though agreeable to liberal socialism. I advocate Market Socialism, and libertarian communism to whatever community agrees to it. State Socialism is a right wing authoritarian deviation of original liberal socialist ideals originating in the French Revolution. Don’t mistake the market economy with capitalism. Markets are one thing, capitalism is a socioeconomic system based on particular property rights and privileges, wage work, and exploitation of labor. As Benjamin Tucker said: “The economic principles of Modern Socialism are a logical deduction from the principle laid down by Adam Smith in the early chapters of his Wealth of Nations,—namely, that labor is the true measure of price. But Adam Smith, after stating this principle most clearly and concisely, immediately abandoned all further consideration of it to devote himself to showing what actually does measure price, and how, therefore, wealth is at present distributed. Since his day nearly all the political economists have followed his example by confining their function to the description of society as it is, in its industrial and commercial phases. Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be. Half a century or more after Smith enunciated the principle above stated, Socialism picked it up where he had dropped it, and in following it to its logical conclusions, made it the basis of a new economic philosophy. From Smith’s principle that labor is the true measure of price—or, as Warren phrased it, that cost is the proper limit of price—these three men made the following deductions: that the natural wage of labor is its product; that this wage, or product, is the only just source of income (leaving out, of course, gift, inheritance, etc.); that all who derive income from any other source abstract it directly or indirectly from the natural and just wage of labor; that this abstracting process generally takes one of three forms,—interest, rent, and profit; that these three constitute the trinity of usury, and are simply different methods of levying tribute for the use of capital; that, capital being simply stored-up labor which has already received its pay in full, its use ought to be gratuitous, on the principle that labor is the only basis of price; that the lender of capital is entitled to its return intact, and nothing more; that the only reason why the banker, the stockholder, the landlord, the manufacturer, and the merchant are able to exact usury from labor lies in the fact that they are backed by legal privilege, or monopoly; and that the only way to secure labor the enjoyment of its entire product, or natural wage, is to strike down monopoly.”

  5887.  @dynamite2925  In time of actual war, great discretionary powers are constantly given to the Executive Magistrate. Constant apprehension of War, has the same tendency to render the head too large for the body. A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defence agst. foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretext of defending, have enslaved the people. ~ James Madison, Speech before Constitutional Convention (6/29/1787). “The army...is a dangerous instrument to play with.” George Washington to Alexander Hamilton, April 4, 1783 “A standing army is one of the greatest mischiefs that can possibly happen.” James Madison, Debates, Virginia Convention, 1787 “Standing armies are dangerous to liberty.” Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers, 1787 “None but an armed nation can dispense with a standing army.” Thomas Jefferson, Letter to unknown recipient, February 25, 1803 “Always remember that an armed and trained militia is the firmest bulwark of republics—that without standing armies their liberty can never be in danger, nor with large ones safe.” James Madison, Inaugural Address, March 4, 1809 “Our Union is not held together by standing armies, or by any ties, other than the positive interests and powerful attractions of its parts toward each other.” James Monroe, Message to Congress, May 4, 1822 “I will now add what I do not like. First, the omission of a bill of rights, providing clearly, and without the aid of sophism, for freedom of religion, freedom of the press, protection against standing armies, restriction of monopolies, the eternal and unremitting force of the habeas corpus laws, and trials by jury, in all matters of fact triable by the law of the land, and not by the laws of nations.” Thomas Jefferson, Letter to James Madison, 1787

  5889. I’m torn. I hate censorship and at least in the US people have a right to free speech and expression. The ACLU defended an American Nazi gathering or rally in NYC during WWII. So do we not allow them their rights, even if it’s spreading regressive hate speech. Or do we let them and let the majority of people see how stupid their ideas are. I don’t know if they’ll rally anyone who doesn’t already agree with them. Frankly ‘Fuck Nazis’ is a sentiment I agree with and it’s an expression. As long as private property isn’t being destroyed or messed with, as with our current laws I suppose, I don’t see the problem. I agree it’s more than likely the F word they have a problem with.

  5901. Jibo Da Grey what a bunch of nonsense. If you conflate capitalism with market economy then you already have no idea, and are indoctrinated to believe capitalism is synonymous with freedom and free markets. Yet classical liberals like David Ricardo, Rousseau, and John Stuart Mill supported Socialist Worker Coops. Not a single liberal economist claimed to believe in Capitalism, the private ownership of factors of production, accumulation of wealth and capital, and wage labor, all for profit self-interest. Classical Liberals believed in the labor theory of value. Capitalism was a result of affluent industrialist bourgeoisie extending State privileges and favors to being the plutocratic elite class. Before the mid-20th century, when American libertarians entangled themselves in conservative coalitions against the New Deal and Soviet Communism, “free market” thinkers largely saw themselves as liberals or radicals, not as conservatives. Libertarian writers, from Smith to Bastiat to Spencer, had little interest in tailoring their politics to conservative or “pro-business” measurements. They frequently identified capitalists, and their protectionist policies, as among the most dangerous enemies of free exchange and property rights. The most radical among them were the mutualists and individualist Anarchists, among them Benjamin Tucker, Dyer Lum, Victor Yarros, and Voltairine de Cleyre. Tucker, the individualist editor of Liberty, wrote in 1888 that his Anarchism called for “Absolute Free Trade... laissez faire the universal rule;” but all the while he described this doctrine of complete laissez faire and free competition a form of “Anarchistic socialism.” For Tucker, of course, “socialism” could not mean government ownership of the means of production (that was “State Socialism,” which Tucker opposed root and branch); what he meant, rather, was workers’ control over the conditions of their labor – opposition to actually existing economic inequalities, capitalist labor relations, and the exploitative practices of big businesses supported by state privilege. For Tucker, the surest way to dismantle capitalist privilege was to knock through the political privileges which shield it, and to expose it, unprotected, to the full range of competing enterprises – including mutualistic enterprise of, for, and by freed workers – that genuinely freed exchange would allow. Another term for Anarchism is Libertarian Socialism. Libertarianism has historically been socialist, the American right wing pro-Capitalists are neither libertarian nor anarchists. They simply took the term cause Liberal was taken.

  5923.  @phatmhat9174  was that a dumbass remark you made? Why yes it is. You see the right wing tried so hard to uphold traditional hierarchies, no matter how much they yelp about freedom. You see when the BLM movement began, and people took to the street they were protesting, whether peacefully or violently, against the State. The police or law enforcement are an arm of the State and government, we’re sick of citizens being executed without trial (though most of us are against capital punishment). We see the statistics and black men are non-proportionately killed by police. We know, through Sociological studies, that this has many causes such as: systemic poverty, over policing of minority communities, and cultural racism among institutions of law enforcement. Hence we protest State violence perpetrated by police. Much like American revolutionaries took to beating Red Coats and imperial officials that abused legal authority. As for what the regressives, I won’t even insult true conservatives, and far right wingers are doing it is basing identity politics based on antiquated notions that race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation/gender has anything to do with anti-social behavior or criminal activity. That crap is racism 101, in which you generalize and place the issue on a person’s demography and classifications rather than on individual cases.

  5935.  @djatlasmusik  yeah but working conservatives need to stop swallowing capitalist State propaganda on socialism. Not every socialist movement is about State Socialism. The socialist movements in America have been about a socialist republic, and expanding democracy to the workplace. Inspired by what the Anarchist Syndicalists in Europe were doing. Many socialists still held traditional conservative values, and found it compatible with socialism. Christian Socialists, rural workers, industrial workers etc... all found solidarity in taking on the capitalist class. Left-Right wasn’t about social views, but about egalitarianism and a more liberal or libertarian society. Modern conservatism has become the authoritarianism Barry Goldwater warned us the Republican Party was heading towards. We need to find true conservatives to ally with, folk with family values, believe in the community and activism of the Church, believe in classical liberalism, a liberal society, limited authority, and republicanism. The conservatives of the 20th century understood socialism, particularly democratic socialism was about liberation and egalitarianism, like even Orwell was a democratic socialist. Conservatives need to remember the words of American socialist leader Eugene V Debs: “The Republican and Democratic parties, or, to be more exact, the Republican-Democratic party, represent the capitalist class in the class struggle. They are the political wings of the capitalist system and such differences as arise between them relate to spoils and not to principles.”

  5944.  @ghosty0612  for me political parties with capitalist state values are working for the state.

  5946.  @ghosty0612  the State is the apparatus for a ruling class to subdue and subject masses of people into a hierarchical social order.

That’s why it’s called a capitalist state, it maintains the social order of capitalism. Just as there were feudal orders, slave orders etc...

A nation that allows centralization of Federal government, continues to support two corrupt political parties, let’s corporations take over legislation, and continue to smear everything outside the capitalist status quo is an uneducated mass. Now I cannot say everyone in America is irrational, but it’s institutions and social structures makes it a nation lacking liberty and critical thought You’re forgetting a crucial role of civilians in the ideal of Republicanism is CIVIL DUTY and RESPONSIBILITY! The civilians must remain vigilant of government and the State. And instead of taking DIRECT ACTION and civil disobedience the American populace (as in most liberal democracies) rely on electoral politics and legislation. These shams of representative governments are tools of the neoliberal world order, the ruling wealthy elites. But there lies rule 1 of Anarchism/Libertarian Socialism... education of the masses. It also made me sick to watch the elite Democratic news network smear these working class people for protesting. I think they are acting stupidly to appease Republican leadership, Fox News started this trend of downplaying the virus. I can accurately point that those that have not realized the establishment is playing them are uneducated folk. That however doesn’t mean their situation isn’t understood. Get off your erudite hill. The fact that you think people that elect their representatives are completely free of their government’s actions shows lack of genuine criticism. That’s like saying the American people were not responsible for government upholding slavery as an institution for 400 years, or that the public couldn’t do much about government segregating citizens. I thought we were in a Social Contract and that government comes from consent of the governed. I admit my rhetoric is harsh, perhaps too much and you accurately point out I can’t generalize a population. But my point stands that liberty is a responsibility, and these actions are not.

The conflict isn’t over people’s, but between States that manipulate their people with nationalist bull. And Likud is very much a right wing nationalist organization, equivalent to American neocons. Labor Zionists need to arise again and take on the right wing Israeli government. I wish the Holy Land were a place of religious tolerance and treated as sacred by the Abrahamic faiths, shared by those religious communities. Even better if it were made a democratic confederacy like Rojava. But that’s a model for the future. For now a secular government and upholding traditional liberal values would be alright.

What Eisenhower was talking about was corruption plain and simple. Between Congress, and manufacturing companies. The “industrial complex” is just standard big business. It’s not unique in corporate structure and as an interest group. Again the military officers themselves aren’t part of this business, they are servicemen. The corruption is between arm manufacturing companies and politicians.

  5985. Lee A In a right-libertarian or “anarcho”-capitalist society, freedom is considered to be a product of property. As Murray Rothbard puts it, “the libertarian defines the concept of ‘freedom’ or ‘liberty’. . .[as a] condition in which a person’s ownership rights in his body and his legitimate material property rights are not invaded, are not aggressed against. . . . Freedom and unrestricted property rights go hand in hand.” This definition has some problems, however. In such a society, one cannot (legitimately) do anything with or on another’s property if the owner prohibits it. This means that an individual’s only guaranteed freedom is determined by the amount of property that he or she owns. This has the consequence that someone with no property has no guaranteed freedom at all (beyond, of course, the freedom not to be murdered or otherwise harmed by the deliberate acts of others). In other words, a distribution of property is a distribution of freedom, as the right-libertarians themselves define it. It strikes anarchists as strange that an ideology that claims to be committed to promoting freedom entails the conclusion that some people should be more free than others. However, this is the logical implication of their view, which raises a serious doubt as to whether “anarcho”-capitalists are actually interested in freedom. Given that workers are paid to obey, you really have to wonder which planet Murray Rothbard is on when he argues that a person’s “labour service is alienable, but his will is not” and that he “cannot alienate his will, more particularly his control over his own mind and body.” [The Ethics of Liberty] He contrasts private property and self-ownership by arguing that “all physical property owned by a person is alienable . . . I can give away or sell to another person my shoes, my house, my car, my money, etc. But there are certain vital things which, in natural fact and in the nature of man, are inalienable . . . his will and control over his own person are inalienable.” But “labour services” are unlike the private possessions Rothbard lists as being alienable. A person’s “labour services” and “will” cannot be divided — if you sell your labour services, you also have to give control of your body and mind to another person! If a worker does not obey the commands of her employer, she is fired. That Rothbard denies this indicates a total lack of common-sense. Perhaps Rothbard will argue that as the worker can quit at any time she does not alienate their will (this seems to be his case against slave contracts). But this ignores the fact that between the signing and breaking of the contract and during work hours (and perhaps outside work hours, if the boss has mandatory drug testing or will fire workers who attend union meetings or those who have an “unnatural” sexuality and so on) the worker does alienate his will and body. In the words of Rudolf Rocker, “under the realities of the capitalist economic form . . . there can be no talk of a ‘right over one’s own person,’ for that ends when one is compelled to submit to the economic dictation of another if he does not want to starve.” [Anarcho-Syndicalism]

Tragic the outcome may be, it is true that these people willingly went on an unsafe trip, where there were several warnings months prior. But then again there’s no certainty everyone knew of the problems and lawsuits before hand. Something so serious should trigger investigation into the company though.

    1
  5999. robinsss I as an anarchist call bs on that claim. The goals of socialist have a longer history being done through direct action and workers cooperatives and autonomy. Once the Statists got involved it resulted in State Capitalism and Social Democracy. Neither achieving a classless society. Socialism is a socioeconomic system that isn’t compatible with certain political systems. To create a classless society, political structures aren’t centralized. We have already seen what happens under State Socialism. The capitalist is replaced by the party bureaucracy. Especially for communists it proved erroneous. Since they want to abolish the State. And Social Democracy preserves capitalism as it maintains social mobilization, classes, profiteering, and private property. Socialists would abolish capitalism for socialist markets, or communism. Democracy under socialism isn’t like bourgeois democracy. Socialists want a democracy of industrial management and administration, not legal policy making and legislation for protecting property rights. And this radical democracy is based on the communes, or smallest political units. Socialists didn’t try the centralization bourgeois model until Lenin and the Bolsheviks

A lot of people can be a lot of things, but those who are actually politically left forego such nonsense, from moderates social democrats to everything left of that. That’s like saying “don’t you think there are racist Bernie supporters.” That may be of a few cases but the ideology of social democracy itself which Bernie represents is fundamentally anti-racist and anti-sexist. It’s called left wing ideology. You trying to make a mountain out of a molehill is the actual disingenuous claim. Out of the many working class and diverse supporters of social democracy, progressivism, and Bernie Sanders how many do you think are concerned about race and sex identities? The staple of left wing politics is socioeconomics, concerned with class conflict. Ultimately the further left your political view the less support for social hierarchies and orders you are, in favor of egalitarian and horizontal social structures.

Just in the context of American politics is classical liberalism the by definition conservative, therefore right leaning faction. But liberalism isn’t right wing in the general spectrum.
    1
  6022. The Awoken and Broken Matt Hardy well the Conservative party definitely isn’t classical liberals. They’re more “Christian fundamentalist” and corporatists. Libertarian right are classical liberals. Modern liberals are Social Liberals, with focus on equality of opportunity. Libertarian left are far left socialists and anarchists. On the general spectrum it goes Anarchism - Communism/Socialism - Liberalism - moderation - Conservatism - Fascism - Authoritarianism/Totalitarianism It’s a complicated matter and there are many overlapping and in-betweens but the standard political left-right spectrum is a model to simplify a complex reality. Classical Liberalism is liberalism, today a more conservative view on what is liberty, but it falls under the Liberal category nonetheless. The libertarian right are exactly this, concerned for limited government, civic rights and liberties, as well as advocating a liberal economy, or free market and enterprise (Capitalism). Modern Liberalism is social liberalism, concerned on equality of opportunity, reform, and addressing systemic hindrances upon marginalized and minority groups. As well as concern for general social welfare. It’s all complicated and nuanced, but the way I make sense of the political spectrum is the further left the less State coercion upon the individual, the further right the more State coercion upon the individual. As well as more progressive stances (left) vs more conservative stances (right) of social and economic organization.

  6036. So basically they saw a new political experiment and thought it had potential until the breakout of war and finding out what the Fascists did. Communist Party in the USA were against FDR’s New Deal for being too much like Mussolini’s Corporatism. The socialists in Europe were fighting the Fascists and Nazis on a regular basis in the streets. Mussolini as a traditionalist allied with the traditionalist Catholic Church which influenced Corporatism. Hitler made coalitions with right wing parties and was declared Chancellor by a right wing President. Politics and history is complicated but both Hitler and Mussolini, as well as Franco and every other Fascists movement found it’s base among extremist nationalist conservatives and anti-socialists. Capitalists got wealthy doing business with the Nazis, including American industrialists. Ford was given honorary membership of the Nazi Party. Fascists philosophers like Giovanni Gentile placed Fascism as a right wing reactionary ideology against socialism and liberalism. The goal was to bring back traditional pre-Enlightenment culture into modernity.

Surely the answer isn’t government regulation, but decentralizing the tech monopolies which exist only because of government policies and interference. Enjeti believes Mitt Romney is a Libertarian which tells you how much he knows about it. Those that support corporate hegemony aren’t Libertarians, they’re neoliberals

  6040.  @go0b3rtron7  Market Socialism isn’t based in financial capital and foreign investment. It’s based in labor association, labor based value, and mutual banking. Market socialism is socialized production (as well as individual entrepreneurship and small business), and market distribution. I recommended looking up left- market libertarianism for more. Since the 19th century market socialist’s first goal was the end of the money monopoly imposed by government. Hence the State. But yeah it’ll be a struggle to transform to any kind of socialist society and economy.

However in back when borders were a loose concept and were only made rigid due to racist policies and bigotries. The liberal position of freedom of movement, freedom to find work wherever, and freedom of commerce should be a major political issue and removing the racist based legal barriers to this fundamental freedom of movement should be a priority. Liberalism should be a bastion of cosmopolitanism and free and fair trade.

  6061. viatickingdom Yeah those Christian principles allowed for systemic racism and chattel slavery, for centuries. The ethical and moral constructs were indeed Christian as most Europeans were some form of Christian. But the governmental structures, institutions, and rule of law the actual nation was founded upon were Enlightenment influenced. Most founding fathers were Deists, essentially agnostics. If they were religious fundamentalists this country would have been even more conservative and repressive upon it’s foundations. A theocracy overrun by “Christians” easily using zealous fervor to oppose natives, Catholics, and any non-Protestants. Make no mistake the Founding Fathers were not keen to allow such fanatics to become the power in the country. Even with the strong Republic founded, the majority was always Christians and their beliefs were used for Manifest Destiny and other such imperialist propaganda. It wasn’t the Bible that was the cornerstone and basis of the Republic, but reason and philosophies of the Enlightenment.

  6075. Otto Ernst we are. What we aren’t is actually socialist. Socialism is predicated on worker’s owning the means of production and ending class and stratified society. So egalitarian politically and economically. Unless it’s anarchism which is anti-Statist. Capitalism is not synonymous with a market economy, same as socialism is not synonymous with planning economy. In socialism there are strains of market socialism, as well as decentralized planning economies. Just as in capitalism there are liberal capitalist markets as seen in republics, or corporate state capitalism as seen in Fascist states. Planning economies aren’t inherent to socialism, as Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany had state oriented capitalism. And markets aren’t inherent to capitalism, as there are schools of market socialism. Welfare isn’t inherent to socialism either. Socialism is classless society and worker control of the means of production. A socioeconomic school.

Yahwist wrote the history of Hebrews, their stories, and laws during their exile in Babylon. Ultimately the Yahwists won out in bringing the Jewish people together under a monotheistic faith. The Hebrews were always polytheistic until Yahwehism gave birth to Judaism as we know it during the Babylonian exile. Other Semitic religions recorded tales of a Deluge, or gods creating man to till the Earth, or gods mating with humans etc... The Abrahamic faiths aren’t unique and are branches of Semitic beliefs older than Ancient Israel. Another machination of humans making sense of their world, there is nothing special about the Abrahamic faiths.

  6087.  @johnleonatti8573  nah there’s a difference between State Capitalism and Fascist Corporatism. State Capitalism is based on party bureaucracy controlling nationalized industries and implementing centralized planning, maybe allowing some private enterprise. The ruling party decides how the income is distributed and what to do with it as they hold a monopoly on employing. It’s basically government party being the capitalist and all industries treated as public assets, and government property, as the ruling party is the “representative” of working class interests. Fascist Corporatism is based in nationalist syndicalism where the guilds/syndicates are directed by national corporations in one grand collective bargaining scheme to run the nation’s economy . The government holds the right to maintain the State order and to ensure the class collaboration is being held so as not to invite social instability and crisis. The State regulates business and working interests. The entirety of society is set up as an organism of sectors that collectively work together to maintain the nation-state.

  6128. My political theory as it stands in the world today. The concern for rising coalitions of far right nationalists is very real and palpable. They claim they are conservatives, conserving an ideal of classical liberalism. But the truth is these people were always reactionary, they have no value for classical liberalism. They believe in religious fundamentalism, and nationalist politics. Reactionaries never went away, they just accepted the status quo of Republican government, and attempt to use the democratic institutions to have more control of societies towards their traditionalist preferences. They don’t want a liberal society, but a society of traditional orders and hierarchies. They have supported an economic system that has degraded back to feudalism, if that ain’t proof of reactionaries turning back the paradigm of the Enlightenment I don’t know what is. Liberal republicanism is in danger of reverting back to autocratic and religious feudal orders. The economy is already feudalistic, and powers are being centralized to governments.

  6134. Nihilism has a very left wing history. The idea that there is no universal abstract or objective morality and ethics. It’s all social constructs. Since there isn’t such things, we make the world we want to, there are no limitations other than material conditions. Nihilism drive the Russian Narodnik movement, a socialist rebellion. Max Stirner’s Egoist philosophy influential to libertarian socialists. Alexander Herzen’s philosophy of radical populist socialism. There is no guarantees, no natural evolution that leads to a just an equitable society, you make the world you want in real time, and act on it today. Progress comes from action, actions people take towards progress in their day, and maybe it isn’t a forgone conclusion. Nihilists don’t believe socialism is inevitable, you have to make it a reality. What if human experience and progress results from real decisions made; not by some cosmic morality that there is no evidence of. The nihilist reality is the natural conclusion of philosophical rationalist and materialist movement, which are the philosophical underpinnings of left wing thought. From liberalism, to socialism, to anarchism etc…

  6139.  @InfoForYou8  democrats are neoliberals. Fascism is against liberal capitalism and for Economic Corporatism meaning the capitalist under the command of the State.

    1
  6140.  @InfoForYou8  well historically they’re right. Libertarianism came out of the anti-statist and anti-authoritarian socialist current in the 19th century. It was coined by the anarchist-communist Joseph Dejacque. Though I disagree that free markets is synonymous with capitalism (that right wingers support). Free market anti-capitalism has a rich history in the libertarian socialist movement with figures like Lysander Spooner and Benjamin Tucker. They advocated a stateless free market economy and anti-capitalism against private property as capitalists define it. There is no capitalist libertarianism as it’s a historically left wing socialist movement. Including the free market radicals

  6167. Tumslover27 Bernie is not a Socialist. All Socialism shares the core principle of common/social/worker’s ownership of the means of production. Bernie is not for collectivizing the means of production. He’s for reforms, regulations, and redistribution. He’s not looking for a post Capitalist system. He wants more social mobility, a strong middle class, and more opportunity. He hasn’t even mentioned incentivizing a worker’s coops sector of industry. He’s a Social Liberal/Social Democrat plain and simple. Socialism IS the abolition of class struggle and private property. Private property is not the same as personal property, as in your vehicle, tv, home, or as you say coat. Private property the Socialist refers to is private ownership of the means of production, what we call private property. You got the right concept, but are missing some important points.
    1
  6168. Tumslover27 I did not know that. That’s great that he supports coops. But it doesn’t seem part of his presidential agenda. Then again he has much on his plate. He hasn’t said anything about moving on from Capitalism either though. He always seemed more a Social Democrat to me. Democratic Socialists believe Democracy and Capitalism are incompatible. Is he for Socialism or just Market Socialism, which ultimately just changes ownership but continues the Capitalist mode of production?

  6232. Som Keshav I think on terms of ethnic-nationalism yes they shared similarities with Fascists, particularly the Nazis. But just because a nation or State is ethno-nationalist doesn’t translate to Fascist. Fascism like Socialism are words thrown around a lot rarely accurately. They are both distinct clear political and socioeconomic doctrines. Fascism in particular is about extreme nationalism, State supremacy and economic Corporatism. The political unit is the collective, and all is done for the security or order of the State. And it’s Corporative in the sense that society is subdivided into “corporations” or to understand better in guilds, syndicates, unions, interest groups all collaborating together under State guidance and regulation. Nazism in particular the State is racially based with war based economy. Today‘s Confederacy enthusiasts merely romanticize that Southern past as a rebellious people fighting for their rights and freedoms (to enslave unfortunately). A Southern cultural nationalism they feel holds value today.

Often the same bootlickers that support gun rights would use those arms to side with the pigs and become the footsoldiers of tyrants. Which is why an alternative culture of defense should check these wannabe soldiers

  6257.  @joansparky4439  I see we also agree on social democratic policy not being enough to solve the problem. It’s a band aid that doesn’t attack the root problem. And highly dependent on trusting which government is in charge and the good of government. We have to be more realistic than that. I am a libertarian socialist, and I am supportive of both libertarian communism, and market socialism. Us libertarian socialists subscribe to the most radical form of market socialism, mutualism, or free market socialism, free market anti-capitalism. We have to stress what constitutes real free markets, which socialism does, not capitalism. Capitalism is just the distortion of liberal enterprise and economics that places the agenda of a ruling capitalist class that functions the same as the old merchant class Adam Smith opposed. Not many still realize that what Adam Smith was opposed to wasn’t government intervention in itself, but the capture of the government by mercantile monopoly interests. The mercantilist equivalent of modern capitalism and Corporatocracy. We have to bring free markets where they belong on the Left, and show it’s revolutionary and radicalism potential. And by so doing expose capitalism for the statist authoritarian sham it is. One way to start is develop a school of actual libertine economics that shows the socialistic tendencies of classical liberals. They didn’t support capitalism, they advocated free markets. From Adam Smith’s staunch opposition to monopolists, and his detest for parasitical landlords and speculators, to David Ricardo’s socialistic classical theories, John Stuart Mill’s support of workers cooperatives over capitalist production, Thomas Hodgskin’s defense of the labor classes to obtain their own productivity and exposing the capitalists exploitation etc... Since many listen, specifically on the right, when you give a veneer of patriotism to the argument, we should use that. Such as the first credited American Anarchist (libertarian socialist) that developed the framework for a free market socialist system previous to, and contemporaneous with the French free market anarchist Pierre J Proudhon. A return of the American Individualist/Free Market Anarchist school could also capture people’s minds towards a market socialist bent. For the Left, we should stress our history of market socialism that is rooted in classical liberalism and developed into market socialism. In the words of one such market socialist, Benjamin Tucker: The economic principles of Modern Socialism are a logical deduction from the principle laid down by Adam Smith in the early chapters of his Wealth of Nations,—namely, that labor is the true measure of price. But Adam Smith, after stating this principle most clearly and concisely, immediately abandoned all further consideration of it to devote himself to showing what actually does measure price, and how, therefore, wealth is at present distributed. Since his day nearly all the political economists have followed his example by confining their function to the description of society as it is, in its industrial and commercial phases. Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be. Half a century or more after Smith enunciated the principle above stated, Socialism picked it up where he had dropped it, and in following it to its logical conclusions, made it the basis of a new economic philosophy. This seems to have been done independently by three different men, of three different nationalities, in three different languages: Josiah Warren, an American; Pierre J. Proudhon, a Frenchman; Karl Marx, a German Jew. That Warren and Proudhon arrived at their conclusions singly and unaided is certain; but whether Marx was not largely indebted to Proudhon for his economic ideas is questionable. However this may be, Marx’s presentation of the ideas was in so many respects peculiarly his own that he is fairly entitled to the credit of originality. That the work of this interesting trio should have been done so nearly simultaneously would seem to indicate that Socialism was in the air, and that the time was ripe and the conditions favorable for the appearance of this new school of thought. So far as priority of time is concerned, the credit seems to belong to Warren, the American,—a fact which should be noted by the stump orators who are so fond of declaiming against Socialism as an imported article. Of the purest revolutionary blood, too, this Warren, for he descended from the Warren who fell at Bunker Hill. From Smith’s principle that labor is the true measure of price—or, as Warren phrased it, that cost is the proper limit of price—these three men made the following deductions: that the natural wage of labor is its product; that this wage, or product, is the only just source of income (leaving out, of course, gift, inheritance, etc.); that all who derive income from any other source abstract it directly or indirectly from the natural and just wage of labor; that this abstracting process generally takes one of three forms,—interest, rent, and profit; that these three constitute the trinity of usury, and are simply different methods of levying tribute for the use of capital; that, capital being simply stored-up labor which has already received its pay in full, its use ought to be gratuitous, on the principle that labor is the only basis of price; that the lender of capital is entitled to its return intact, and nothing more; that the only reason why the banker, the stockholder, the landlord, the manufacturer, and the merchant are able to exact usury from labor lies in the fact that they are backed by legal privilege, or monopoly; and that the only way to secure labor the enjoyment of its entire product, or natural wage, is to strike down monopoly.

  6290. Rory Saurus Upon the other hand, Socialism itself will be of value simply because it will lead to Individualism. Socialism, Communism, or whatever one chooses to call it, by converting private property into public wealth, and substituting co-operation for competition, will restore society to its proper condition of a thoroughly healthy organism, and insure the material well-being of each member of the community. It will, in fact, give Life its proper basis and its proper environment. But for the full development of Life to its highest mode of perfection, something more is needed. What is needed is Individualism. If the Socialism is Authoritarian; if there are Governments armed with economic power as they are now with political power; if, in a word, we are to have Industrial Tyrannies, then the last state of man will be worse than the first. At present, in consequence of the existence of private property, a great many people are enabled to develop a certain very limited amount of Individualism. They are either under no necessity to work for their living, or are enabled to choose the sphere of activity that is really congenial to them, and gives them pleasure. These are the poets, the philosophers, the men of science, the men of culture – in a word, the real men, the men who have realised themselves, and in whom all Humanity gains a partial realisation. Upon the other hand, there are a great many people who, having no private property of their own, and being always on the brink of sheer starvation, are compelled to do the work of beasts of burden, to do work that is quite uncongenial to them, and to which they are forced by the peremptory, unreasonable, degrading Tyranny of want. These are the poor, and amongst them there is no grace of manner, or charm of speech, or civilisation, or culture, or refinement in pleasures, or joy of life. From their collective force Humanity gains much in material prosperity. But it is only the material result that it gains, and the man who is poor is in himself absolutely of no importance. He is merely the infinitesimal atom of a force that, so far from regarding him, crushes him: indeed, prefers him crushed, as in that case he is far more obedient. Of course, it might be said that the Individualism generated under conditions of private property is not always, or even as a rule, of a fine or wonderful type, and that the poor, if they have not culture and charm, have still many virtues. Both these statements would be quite true. The possession of private property is very often extremely demoralising, and that is, of course, one of the reasons why Socialism wants to get rid of the institution. In fact, property is really a nuisance. But it may be asked how Individualism, which is now more or less dependent on the existence of private property for its development, will benefit by the abolition of such private property. The answer is very simple. It is true that, under existing conditions, a few men who have had private means of their own, such as Byron, Shelley, Browning, Victor Hugo, Baudelaire, and others, have been able to realise their personality more or less completely. Not one of these men ever did a single day’s work for hire. They were relieved from poverty. They had an immense advantage. The question is whether it would be for the good of Individualism that such an advantage should be taken away. Let us suppose that it is taken away. What happens then to Individualism? How will it benefit? It will benefit in this way. Under the new conditions Individualism will be far freer, far finer, and far more intensified than it is now. I am not talking of the great imaginatively-realised Individualism of such poets as I have mentioned, but of the great actual Individualism latent and potential in mankind generally. For the recognition of private property has really harmed Individualism, and obscured it, by confusing a man with what he possesses. It has led Individualism entirely astray. It has made gain not growth its aim. So that man thought that the important thing was to have, and did not know that the important thing is to be. The true perfection of man lies, not in what man has, but in what man is. Private property has crushed true Individualism, and set up an Individualism that is false. It has debarred one part of the community from being individual by starving them. It has debarred the other part of the community from being individual by putting them on the wrong road, and encumbering them. Indeed, so completely has man’s personality been absorbed by his possessions that the English law has always treated offences against a man’s property with far more severity than offences against his person, and property is still the test of complete citizenship. The industry necessary for the making money is also very demoralising. In a community like ours, where property confers immense distinction, social position, honour, respect, titles, and other pleasant things of the kind, man, being naturally ambitious, makes it his aim to accumulate this property, and goes on wearily and tediously accumulating it long after he has got far more than he wants, or can use, or enjoy, or perhaps even know of. Man will kill himself by overwork in order to secure property, and really, considering the enormous advantages that property brings, one is hardly surprised. One’s regret is that society should be constructed on such a basis that man has been forced into a groove in which he cannot freely develop what is wonderful, and fascinating, and delightful in him – in which, in fact, he misses the true pleasure and joy of living. He is also, under existing conditions, very insecure. An enormously wealthy merchant may be – often is – at every moment of his life at the mercy of things that are not under his control. If the wind blows an extra point or so, or the weather suddenly changes, or some trivial thing happens, his ship may go down, his speculations may go wrong, and he finds himself a poor man, with his social position quite gone. Now, nothing should be able to harm a man except himself. Nothing should be able to rob a man at all. What a man really has, is what is in him. What is outside of him should be a matter of no importance. With the abolition of private property, then, we shall have true, beautiful, healthy Individualism. Nobody will waste his life in accumulating things, and the symbols for things. One will live. To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. — Oscar Wilde (excerpts taken from “The Soul Of Man Under Socialism”)

Fascism does this to the extreme but also has distinct core concepts like the Corporative State. Not all right wing populism is Fascist. I myself am against it because I don’t agree with nationalism. Nathan is using a narrow view and blurring the lines of what is Fascism and what isn’t. It’s like when socialists are all called Leninists and Stalinists and completely ignoring anarchists and more leftist socialists.

  6340.  @alessiodelcastillo1613  Jefferson was a precursor to libertarian socialism. His ideals of ward republics or federal republicanism was similar to anarchist federation. Libertarian socialists said: “Anarchy is Jeffersonian democracy, to the last consequences and without fear” Also what do you mean he was a scumbag for supporting the French Revolution? That was the origin of leftist radicalism. From radical liberalism, to socialism and communism. The proto-Communist Babeuf was a favorite among communists. And Thomas Paine was the agitator of both the American and French Revolutions. His experience in France lead him to write “The Rights of Man” and “Agrarian Justice”. Jefferson was vocal of his support of the French Revolution but once it got too bloody and reign of terrors started he voiced his disillusionment. “ Whenever there are in a country uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate the natural right. The earth is given as a common stock for man to labor and live on. If for the encouragement of industry we allow it to be appropriated, we must take care that other employment be provided for those excluded from the appropriation. If we do not, the fundamental right to labor the earth returns to the unemployed...," - Jefferson Jefferson wrote in 1825 to William Branch Giles of "vast accession of strength from their younger recruits, who having nothing in them of the feelings or principles of ’76 now look to a single and splendid government of an Aristocracy, founded on banking institutions and monied incorporations under the guise and cloak of their favored branches of manufactures commerce and navigation, riding and ruling over the plundered ploughman and beggared yeomanry." Chomsky's 1994 book quotes Jefferson's 1825 letter to Giles and then comments that "[Jefferson] warned that that would be the end of democracy and the defeat of the American revolution."

  6341.  @joshberkin5567  The XYZ affair was a pretty bad look on his administration. But Adams was a great conservative, and his conservatism began with Republicanism. Though he had weird thoughts like wanting the executive to be more like a monarchist in symbol and be addressed as his majesty. However the best thing Adams did I believe was during the Barbary and Tripoli war where he affirms that the United States Republic is not found on religion in the signing of the treaty. "the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."

  6344.  @bohanxu6125  https://youtu.be/o7grSsuFSS0 Israel funded and aided Hamas to oppose secular Palestinian opposition of PLO, specifically the Fatah Party. Now Hamas is a terrorist group, always been anti-Israel but the Israeli government didn’t care when they used them for their agenda. What you have to realize is that though Hamas is an extremist group they want what the Israeli’s want; complete removal or eradication of the other side in the area. Hamas wants no Israel, Likkud wants no Palestine. At this point Two State is no solution but a fantasy. Majority of people believe the only solution now can be a One State solution of a secular liberal democratic State, with a diverse nation of Arabs and Jews, basically a liberal State. Hearing their holy sites and respecting their cultures and religions. Hamas for all the fear mongering has killed far less than the Israelis State. It’s like St. Augustine’s parable of the pirate and the Emperor. Hamas is a ragtag, ill equipped extremist group with shitty weapons and barely functional missiles. Israel is a State with organized government and Western aid and arms. Their Dome is barely penetrated by crappy Hamas missiles. And the statistics of death tolls are striking and completely the opposite of Israeli propaganda. Just about the average chart shows the disproportionate killings of Palestinians. Yes there is extremists and violence from both sides. But one of them is the aggressor, and the other reacts. There is a huge power imbalance. Stop trying to equate a rebel extremist group with a Western backed State and organized military. What’s next? Comparing protesters to militant police force?

Trust me once the Left regains it’s radical free market roots as antithetical to wealth and power concentrations inherent in capitalism, the right will be anti-free markets. The left has two socioeconomic schools that can actually coexist because they are free associations. Anarcho-communism and free market anarchism or mutualism

  6356. Many folks in developed nations don’t understand. Formerly colonized peoples are socialist due to their continued struggles against imperialism, which inherently is an anti-capitalist struggle. National liberation movements like black liberation in America tend to be socialist. MLK and Malcolm X saw the struggle for black liberation as inherently socialist. There’s a reason Nelson Mandela had a close friendship with Fidel Castro. Indigenous peoples in Latin America support nationalization of national resources and maintaining western corporations out of their markets. While social democracy and state socialism (specifically Marxist-Leninism) is not ideal, it is necessary to battle western corporate hegemony. Though let’s push for democratic and libertarian forms of socialism are more triumphant.

  6357. Right wing populism in nutshell. Right wing populism is synonymous with nationalism.

Along the supporters of the Commonwealth were religious peasant folk like the Fifth Monarchists. But most essential were the Levellers and True Levellers (Diggers), proto-libertarian socialists. It was after all the side of true religious tolerance by virtue of their Republican beliefs. Despite several intolerant folk like Milton, they were the side of greater tolerance and freedoms. Of another matter, this pastor doesn’t understand their own sacred text. Hard work and toil was the punishment for sinning. Beforehand Eden was a paradise where humanity would be given fruit and their necessities. Their only job to take care of the flora and fauna. This “Christian” has it all twisted. I’m going to share him with my anarchist-Christian friends. Sure they’ll get a real laugh of it.

  6391. FakeBunny12 capitalism is nothing but the State ruling interest (capital) having government rule in its favor. The State is the apparatus of ruling classes to maintain their social orders and hierarchy.
    1
  6392. FakeBunny12 well we libertarian socialists play the long game. First comes the revolution of the mind, then the social. Anarchism still lives so long as people are subjected to hierarchies and labor is exploited. Direct Action to create agro-industrial federation and free associations of autonomous industries and worker’s collectives or syndicates. Going outside the State and undermine those institutions to keep capital ruling. Socialists are the true free marketeers and voluntary communism can free the people/workers. To create libertarian societies we have to help people awaken, promote free thought, and reintroduce anarchist philosophies like anarcho-syndicalism, collectivism, communism, mutualism, free market anarchism. Again people must be inspired to take Direct Action and look towards libertarian solutions. The ideas aren’t new, they just haven’t had as much support so as to make the State bow to the will of a free people. Destroy the narrative that capitalism is freedom, and remind folks that socialism was the direct successor of classical liberalism. History has been distorted to promote capitalism instead of the next stage of liberation, the end of classes. “The economic principles of Modern Socialism are a logical deduction from the principle laid down by Adam Smith in the early chapters of his Wealth of Nations,—namely, that labor is the true measure of price. But Adam Smith, after stating this principle most clearly and concisely, immediately abandoned all further consideration of it to devote himself to showing what actually does measure price, and how, therefore, wealth is at present distributed. Since his day nearly all the political economists have followed his example by confining their function to the description of society as it is, in its industrial and commercial phases. Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be. Half a century or more after Smith enunciated the principle above stated, Socialism picked it up where he had dropped it, and in following it to its logical conclusions, made it the basis of a new economic philosophy.” — Free Market Anarchist Benjamin Tucker

  6400. To add to my first response critical theory is any approach to social philosophy that focuses on reflective assessment and critique of society and culture in order to reveal and challenge power structures. With roots in sociology and literary criticism, it argues that social problems stem more from social structures and cultural assumptions than from individuals. It argues that ideology is the principal obstacle to human liberation. Critical Theory also refers specifically to a school of thought practiced by the Frankfurt School theoreticians Herbert Marcuse, Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Erich Fromm, and Max Horkheimer. Horkheimer described a theory as critical insofar as it seeks "to liberate human beings from the circumstances that enslave them." Although a product of modernism, and although many of the progenitors of Critical Theory were skeptical of postmodernism, Critical Theory is one of the major components of both modern and postmodern thought, and is widely applied in the humanities and social sciences today. This is the tradition of the social sciences, the early socialists were the first social scientists, social critics, and social reformers. Socialism is economic and industrial critique, sociology is study of society and it’s critiques of social power structures.

Under Socialism farmers won’t need subsidies, the collective farmers own their means of production and democratically make decisions, distribute as needed. There can’t be Socialism where Capitalism exists. Wolfe is a Marxist economist, but he’s mistaken if he thinks Welfare States under Capitalist economies is any kind of true Socialism which is a post-Capitalist socioeconomic system or organization.

  6403. Learned Hand neoliberalism refers to classical liberal economics. Free Trade and Enterprise. It’s conservative economic theory based upon Chicago School of Friedman. Classical Liberalism politically and socially is indeed the doctrine of liberty and equality. Thus the Liberals establishes liberal democracies and republics. Economically it has been rooted to theories of Free Market and Capitalism. The Libertarian Left of Anarchists, Socialists, and Communists continue that legacy of wanting the dismantling of structures of power, wealth, and prestige. Seeking liberty and equality. It’s why it’s the Far Left.
    1
  6404. Learned Hand Neoliberalism is the term for modern liberal economic theory and policy. Based off classical economics. Not the political and social liberalism, the economic side. What’s not to get? As for worker’s rights and what not, those were lead by Libertarian Left groups like Marxists and Socialists.

  6410. Every term limits isn’t the solution. The problem isn’t inherently that Congresspeople can be in office for a long time. If constituents are fine with an elected official for years then that’s fine. Term limits would just give a “nothing left to lose” incentive for corruption and to cash in quickly while in office. The point is to limit corruption. WE ARE the term limits! We have to be more civically engaged, responsible, and vigilant against corruption and nonsense in our government. The populace needs to be more aware of politics.

Lenin called anarchists, Democratic socialists, and Mensheviks “infants of the left” before his crackdown of politics opponents. Left socialists called Leninism a right wing deviation of socialist principles, as the Marxist-Leninist revolutionary model was authoritarian government and single party rule. Even Karl Marx envisioned a Marxian socialist government as democratic socialist and decentralized politically. This whole horse shoe concept is horse shit. The political left-right spectrum denotes beliefs in authority, coercion, and hierarchies. Which is why the furthest left is Anarchism (libertarianism) and furthest right Fascism (totalitarianism). The left-right concept should be corrected and made known.

And I’m not even a Marxist.

  6452. John Smith not all Socialism is Marxist-Leninist, Statist, or racist. Pretty sure most agree with class solidarity across racial, gender, and ethnic lines. But it depends on the nation. I mean even the USSR had black and Asian folk on their posters, even though there were few of those people in Russia. But even in Marxist thought the worker’s solidarity is championed and people persuaded to abandon notions of demographics. Class struggle may not eliminate racial issues but it does provide a new social revolution to further expand. As for anarchists like me, well we dismantle all hierarchies, and advocate worker’s solidarity and humanity before any denominations.

  6461.  @synchronium24  to be fair Orwell was speaking of libertarian socialists like anarchists. He himself was a democratic socialist. Your online arguments sound about right when discussing with liberals pretending to be socialist, or authoritarian statist socialists like Marxist-Leninists, whom Orwell despised. But do not narrow you views, socialism has a strong libertarian history. The first person to popularize the term “libertarian” was the anarchist-communist Joseph Dejacque. The first person to call himself Anarchist was the socialist Pierre J Proudhon. As the anarchist Mikhail Bakunin said: “We are convinced that liberty without socialism is privilege, injustice; and that socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality.”

Anyway Democratic Socialists are just evolutionary Marxists, if all you want is the Nordic model your aren’t Democratic Socialist, you’re a Social Democrat. They don’t even have 100% worker coops, the majority is still privatized. Like I said Socialism (social owners) and Capitalism (private owners) aren’t compatible. Socialism is a classless system. Parties and bureaucracy’s are one way but we don’t like the centralization of power over direct democratic control. It hasn’t panned out so well. Nationalization of everything and then somehow the State withers away sounds sketchy, usually they’ll keep finding way to justify the State, and as Bakunin predicted will lead to a political class ruling over the proletariat. Besides State Capitalism continues the Capitalist mode of production. State Socialism was never the goal, every Socialist eventually believes the end goal is no State. I respect you as a comrade though. But no government is to be trusted, not even a “dictatorship of the proletariat” or people’s party. We Anarchists are just more self autonomous over relying on bureaucrats. So far we’ve yet to see a Statist Socialist situation where they got rid of Capitalism altogether for a Socialist economy, State Capitalism seems the best Statism can do.

Markets existed before Capitalism. Capitalism is just the mode of production: private ownership, wage labor, commodity production for profit etc... Markets aren’t exclusive to Capitalism. In frank Socialist Markets have been a smaller Socialists ideal than mainstream Socialism. Whether they’re Statist or Libertarian.

  6517.  @spacedragon1453  Anarchism is a political theory which aims to create anarchy, “the absence of a master, of a sovereign.” [P-J Proudhon, What is Property] In other words, anarchism is a political theory which aims to create a society within which individuals freely co-operate together as equals. As such anarchism opposes all forms of hierarchical control — be that control by the state or a capitalist — as harmful to the individual and their individuality as well as unnecessary. In the words of anarchist L. Susan Brown: “While the popular understanding of anarchism is of a violent, anti- State movement, anarchism is a much more subtle and nuanced tradition then a simple opposition to government power. Anarchists oppose the idea that power and domination are necessary for society, and instead advocate more co-operative, anti-hierarchical forms of social, political and economic organisation.” [The Politics of Individualism] Anarchy does not mean chaos nor do anarchists seek to create chaos or disorder. Instead, we wish to create a society based upon individual freedom and voluntary co-operation. In other words, order from the bottom up, not disorder imposed from the top down by authorities. Such a society would be a true anarchy, a society without rulers. Noam Chomsky sums up the key aspect when he stated that in a truly free society “any interaction among human beings that is more than personal — meaning that takes institutional forms of one kind or another — in community, or workplace, family, larger society, whatever it may be, should be under direct control of its participants. So that would mean workers’ councils in industry, popular assembly in communities, interaction between them, free associations in larger groups, up to organisation of international society.” Society would no longer be divided into a hierarchy of bosses and workers, governors and governed. Rather, an anarchist society would be based on free association in participatory organisations and run from the bottom up. Anarchists, it should be noted, try to create as much of this society today, in their organisations, struggles and activities, as they can.

The most common terms used are “free socialism,” “free communism,” “libertarian socialism,” and “libertarian communism.” For anarchists, libertarian socialism, libertarian communism, and anarchism are virtually interchangeable. As Vanzetti put it: “After all we are socialists as the social-democrats, the socialists, the communists, and the I.W.W. are all Socialists. The difference — the fundamental one — between us and all the other is that they are authoritarian while we are libertarian; they believe in a State or Government of their own; we believe in no State or Government.” [Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, The Letters of Sacco and Vanzetti]

  6521.  @DemonDante1000  First understand that Anarchists are all about organization. Without association, a truly human life is impossible. Liberty cannot exist without society and organisation. As George Barrett pointed out: “To get the full meaning out of life we must cooperate, and to cooperate we must make agreements with our fellow-men. But to suppose that such agreements mean a limitation of freedom is surely an absurdity; on the contrary, they are the exercise of our freedom. “If we are going to invent a dogma that to make agreements is to damage freedom, then at once freedom becomes tyrannical, for it forbids men to take the most ordinary everyday pleasures. For example, I cannot go for a walk with my friend because it is against the principle of Liberty that I should agree to be at a certain place at a certain time to meet him. I cannot in the least extend my own power beyond myself, because to do so I must cooperate with someone else, and cooperation implies an agreement, and that is against Liberty. It will be seen at once that this argument is absurd. I do not limit my liberty, but simply exercise it, when I agree with my friend to go for a walk. “If, on the other hand, I decide from my superior knowledge that it is good for my friend to take exercise, and therefore I attempt to compel him to go for a walk, then I begin to limit freedom. This is the difference between free agreement and government.” As far as organisation goes, anarchists think that “far from creating authority, [it] is the only cure for it and the only means whereby each of us will get used to taking an active and conscious part in collective work, and cease being passive instruments in the hands of leaders.” Thus anarchists are well aware of the need to organise in a structured and open manner. While anarchists “aren’t opposed to structure” and simply “want to abolish hierarchical structure” they are “almost always stereotyped as wanting no structure at all.” This is not the case, for “organisations that would build in accountability, diffusion of power among the maximum number of persons, task rotation, skill sharing, and the spread of information and resources” are based on “good social anarchist principles of organisation!” [“Socialism, Anarchism and Feminism”, Quiet Rumours: An Anarcha-Feminist Reader] The fact that anarchists are in favour of organisation may seem strange at first, but it is understandable. “For those with experience only of authoritarian organisation,” argue two British anarchists, “it appears that organisation can only be totalitarian or democratic, and that those who disbelieve in government must by that token disbelieve in organisation at all. That is not so.” In other words, because we live in a society in which virtually all forms of organisation are authoritarian, this makes them appear to be the only kind possible. What is usually not recognised is that this mode of organisation is historically conditioned, arising within a specific kind of society — one whose motive principles are domination and exploitation. According to archaeologists and anthropologists, this kind of society has only existed for about 5,000 years, having appeared with the first primitive states based on conquest and slavery, in which the labour of slaves created a surplus which supported a ruling class. Prior to that time, for hundreds of thousands of years, human and proto-human societies were what Murray Bookchin calls “organic,” that is, based on cooperative forms of economic activity involving mutual aid, free access to productive resources, and a sharing of the products of communal labour according to need. Although such societies probably had status rankings based on age, there were no hierarchies in the sense of institutionalised dominance-subordination relations enforced by coercive sanctions and resulting in class stratification involving the economic exploitation of one class by another (see Murray Bookchin, The Ecology of Freedom). It must be emphasised, however, that anarchists do not advocate going “back to the Stone Age.” We merely note that since the hierarchical- authoritarian mode of organisation is a relatively recent development in the course of human social evolution, there is no reason to suppose that it is somehow “fated” to be permanent. We do not think that human beings are genetically “programmed” for authoritarian, competitive, and aggressive behavior, as there is no credible evidence to support this claim. On the contrary, such behaviour is socially conditioned, or learned, and as such, can be unlearned. We are not fatalists or genetic determinists, but believe in free will, which means that people can change the way they do things, including the way they organise society.

  6522.  @ToxicAudri  There is no doubt that society needs to be better organised, because presently most of its wealth — which is produced by the majority — and power gets distributed to a small, elite minority at the top of the social pyramid, causing deprivation and suffering for the rest, particularly for those at the bottom. Yet because this elite controls the means of coercion through its control of the state, it is able to suppress the majority and ignore its suffering — a phenomenon that occurs on a smaller scale within all hierarchies. Little wonder, then, that people within authoritarian and centralised structures come to hate them as a denial of their freedom. As Alexander Berkman puts it: “Any one who tells you that Anarchists don’t believe in organisation is talking nonsense. Organisation is everything, and everything is organisation. The whole of life is organisation, conscious or unconscious . . . But there is organisation and organisation. Capitalist society is so badly organised that its various members suffer: just as when you have a pain in some part of you, your whole body aches and you are ill . . . , not a single member of the organisation or union may with impunity be discriminated against, suppressed or ignored. To do so would be the same as to ignore an aching tooth: you would be sick all over.” Yet this is precisely what happens in capitalist society, with the result that it is, indeed, “sick all over.” For these reasons, anarchists reject authoritarian forms of organisation and instead support associations based on free agreement. Free agreement is important because, in Berkman’s words, “only when each is a free and independent unit, cooperating with others from his own choice because of mutual interests, can the world work successfully and become powerful.” Anarchists stress that free agreement has to be complemented by direct democracy (or, as it is usually called by anarchists to avoid confusion with democracy government, self-management) within the association itself otherwise “freedom” become little more than picking masters. Anarchist organisation is based on a massive decentralisation of power back into the hands of the people, i.e. those who are directly affected by the decisions being made. To quote Proudhon: “Unless democracy is a fraud and the sovereignty of the People a joke, it must be admitted that each citizen in the sphere of his [or her] industry, each municipal, district or provincial council within its own territory . . . should act directly and by itself in administering the interests which it includes, and should exercise full sovereignty in relation to them.” [The General Idea of the Revolution] It also implies a need for federalism to coordinate joint interests. For anarchism, federalism is the natural complement to self-management. With the abolition of the State, society “can, and must, organise itself in a different fashion, but not from top to bottom . . . The future social organisation must be made solely from the bottom upwards, by the free association or federation of workers, firstly in their unions, then in the communes, regions, nations and finally in a great federation, international and universal. Then alone will be realised the true and life giving order of freedom and the common good, that order which, far from denying, on the contrary affirms and brings into harmony the interests of individuals and of society.” [Mikhail Bakunin] Because a “truly popular organisation begins . . . from below” and so “federalism becomes a political institution of Socialism, the free and spontaneous organisation of popular life.” Thus libertarian socialism “is federalistic in character.” [Bakunin] Therefore, anarchist organisation is based on direct association(or self- management) and federalism (or confederation). These are the expression and environment of liberty. Direct (or participatory) democracy is essential because liberty and equality imply the need for forums within which people can discuss and debate as equals and which allow for the free exercise of what Murray Bookchin calls “the creative role of dissent.” Federalism is necessary to ensure that common interests are discussed and joint activity organised in a way which reflects the wishes of all those affected by them. To ensure that decisions flow from the bottom up rather than being imposed from the top down by a few rulers.

  6523.  @DemonDante1000  to reiterate socialism means society reigns free from external influences and authority. Anarchism is the most radical expression of that. The State is all that apparatus and institutions used to take away the decision making power away from society, away from people. Society creates economic wealth, produces, industrializes, and make the world function, not government. People don’t need a law to not do violence, laws don’t prohibit violence. People don’t kill, rape, and murder in droves just because there’s words on a paper saying don’t do it. People form mutual associations, and cooperate to form society. All the things that government “does” can be done by the people themselves. Make roads, schools, collect garbage etc… In fact people and workers do those things, we don’t need government to direct them, just our own mutual association for defense, insurance, and federations. We scale upwards based on our needs, Anarchist federalism replacing the state and supplanting the government. Remove government and you have society, and the organization of people out of necessity for cooperation and association. To learn about the most prominent anarchic social revolutions going on now please research Rojava (aka AANES) in North Eastern Syria; and the EZLN and neo-Zapatistas in Chiapas, Mexico. “We are convinced that liberty without socialism is privilege, injustice; and that socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality.” Mikhail Bakunin

Stephen Bandera wasn’t a hero, he and his battalion were so intoxicated by nationalism that they allied with Nazis, and aided in Jewish pograms and genocide. They may not have been Nazi ideologues themselves, but they sure did Nazi actions and aid justifying it with desires for national sovereignty. Also the Soviets did the world a favor in destroying Fascism, unfortunately their regime was also authoritarian and not guiltless of crimes against humanity. History sure is fascinating and tragic.

In fact Lenin called leftists “infants of the left” and persecuted any opposition. You see Marxist-Leninists believe in an anti-statist future but unlike other socialists they believe in an authoritarian control of the State before achieving communism. So they go far right to achieve leftist goals. And to that leftists have always said “you’re idiots.” It’s like when Robespierre tried to achieve liberalism by becoming a dictator, centralizing political power for radical liberal motives.

  6547. Social conservatism is the lowest form of conservatism. Just driven by reaction and regression, keeping social behaviors just because. Absolutely nothing to do with classical conservative political philosophy (Burkeanism) and the pragmatic conservative approach of American figures like John Adams. Not even the small government liberal conservatisms of Barry Goldwater, or the traditionalist philosophy of William F Buckley Jr. What do social conservatives got? Pat Buchanan, Stalwell, Limbaugh, Shapiro, Crowder, Peterson, Alex Jones etc…. Time for a new right wing coalition to save Conservatives from the illiberal authoritarian nationalism and theocratic tendencies of social l regressives. It’s up to you conservatives, if you want to be a viable political bloc, you best deal with the trash. Fun fact: by American standards, tradition is liberalism and republicanism.

  6566.  @venum17  imperialism is the end of republics. The centralization of power and concentrations of wealth were part of why Rome fell. They became an empire stretching resources far before Caesar. Republics can be oligarchic but still constitutional and with level sovereignty of free people considered citizens.
    1
  6567.  @auntypha5958  the republic died when it became empire. A republic is supposed to be an anti-monarchic sovereignty of the populace. Rome was an empire of oligarchs long before Ceasar, and it was the concentration of wealth and power the patrician agendas, undermining the plebeians that lead to imperial pursuits and the end of Republican structures. But modern republicanism is highly democratic and liberal. You should know this comrade, or have you yet to read Proudhon: “Under the law of association, transmission of wealth does not apply to the instruments of labour, so cannot become a cause of inequality. [...] We are socialists [...] under universal association, ownership of the land and of the instruments of labour is social ownership. [...] We want the mines, canals, railways handed over to democratically organised workers' associations. [...] We want these associations to be models for agriculture, industry and trade, the pioneering core of that vast federation of companies and societies, joined together in the common bond of the democratic and social Republic.”

  6568.  @venum17  I would think they are different government forms because when republics take the form of empire they become empires. Specifically modern republicanism isn’t classical, they are based in liberal democratic virtues and ideals. Rome being the original Republic was the form that proved empire and republics do not mix, and are antithetical to each other. The Roman Republic started as inclusive of Roman citizenship, creating contracts and treaties for citizenship and commerce. And once the patrician class in the senate sought to expand imperial conquests and pursuits, the Roman republic gave way to imperialism and it’s ultimate conclusion, an emperor. Modern republicanism was formed as the antithesis to monarchism, and so had ideological struggles against imperial colonialism. As seen by the French Republic’s attempt at a constitutional end to colonialism, and Bonaparte’s imperial maintenance of colonies. Also “imperator” was a public service within the Republic, before it became king in the empire. In general a republic is a form of government in which the country and its governance is considered a public cause, as opposed to a monarchy where it is considered the private concern of the monarch (except in constitutional monarchies). If you follow this interpretation it doesn’t matter if the emperor is elected or not, an empire can not become a republic unless it profoundly changes it’s goverment.

  6570.  @venum17  “A republican empire is a form of government in which a country governed as a republic transitions into an empire. Examples of this process include the First French Republic, which became the First French Empire, as well as the Dutch Republic, which formed a Dutch Empire by seizing territory from Spain. The distinction between a republican empire and a more traditional monarchy is that the people are assumed to be the source of government power. In France, for example, voters were asked in an 1804 referendum whether they supported the creation of an empire.” Therefore it is a transition from republic to empire. Perhaps there is such a thing as democratically ruled empire, but that’s more political studying I have to do. Thanks for making me think about it. Your description of Republican management of empire caught my eye. I see what you mean.

  6571.  @TouringWolf42  even under corporate monopolies the liberal potential of markets shows its progress. Companies want to sell so they cater to the times and the conventional social attitudes. And the majority of the conservatives were evangelical traditionalists and pro-segregationists so no the majority hated the New Left and intermarriage. They called race mixing communism, as well as gay relations. They threw a fit with R&B so they whitewashed it in pop and early vanilla Rock and Roll to censor and sell to mainstream white audiences. They threw a fit when Elvis would gyrate his hips. The sexual revolution was a development of the New Left and progressives.

  6572.  @TouringWolf42  yeah cause the majoritarian social views always dominate, and companies wish to cater that. Back then it was prevalent to at the very least by neutral on the issue of gay marriage and just not pick a side. Now it is more accepted and in a global economy these corporations wish to be inclusive to sell their products. I have seen several black liberation groups staring to think about separatism. There is a huge difference with separatism and segregationism. One the State coerces you into separation and keeps you in different conditions. Separation is choosing to separate and focus on those communities exclusively to build their capital and wealth. However the majority do not wish for such a thing, despite acknowledging that black capital was greater, and communities more active in their segregated existence. The black economy was built by those segregated communities, however they could not expand beyond those communities because of segregation. Black Wall Street comes to mind, as the State was determined to maintain blacks as an underclass for exploitation and fear mongering to poor whites. Without a doubt modern progressives like the Left during LBJ do not understand that government social engineering only leads to more problems. While segregation should have never been a thing by law, as it is an anti-liberal authoritarian policy, government should not have coerced communities to integrate abruptly. Such integration done right could only come from social progress and freedom as communities eventually come together. The sudden integration only caused more social tensions and even hurt the black economy, as they were far behind in wealth accumulation. This is something Barry Goldwater was right on, perhaps the last great true conservative ideologue.

  6573.  @TouringWolf42  that’s the thing, no liberal republic has lived up to their liberal ideals. It’s why Thomas Paine was hurt to see what became of the American Revolution. People have always allowed the State to divide people into color palettes. And what I defend is Cardi B’s right to make whatever content and music she wants. To produce what she likes. To participate in the market of the music industry freely. When conservatives pretend to be classical liberals, their culture war issues prove otherwise. Just like social progressives today, conservatives have always sought to coerce their morality and views on others, instead of supporting civic liberalism. This culture conflict issue is propagated by government and both political organizations for support, when instead the country should be united in individual rights and liberties, and not trying to legislate and coerce one moral point of view on everyone else. Indeed the Conservative ideology is rooted in reactionary backlash against liberal revolution and the values of liberal society. Liberalism was a development of the Enlightenment, Scientific Revolution, and Age of Reason. When looking into classical liberalism you’ll find the support of advancing society along with science and rationality. I’m working on exposing the roots of libertarian socialism in classical liberalism, and the real expression of liberal doctrine and idealism. Conservatism in America started as Tory royalists against the American Revolution, followed by reactionary elites that aimed to diminish the fervor of democratic liberalism, by centralization of government, and rule by elites, and desire to quell the “rabble” and propertyless majority. Anti-liberalism has plagued the United State since before the Revolution, and well after. And we shall find no liberty until even the right wing of this Republic is committed to classical liberalism and republicanism. It’s telling that politically speaking figures from the Revolutionary era were more radically liberal than even the left wing of mainstream American politics today.

  6582. Sheepy2055 In a right-libertarian or "anarcho"-capitalist society, freedom is considered to be a product of property. As Murray Rothbard puts it, "the libertarian defines the concept of 'freedom' or 'liberty'. . .[as a] condition in which a person's ownership rights in his body and his legitimate material property rights are not invaded, are not aggressed against. . . . Freedom and unrestricted property rights go hand in hand." Given that workers are paid to obey, you really have to wonder which planet Murray Rothbard is on when he argues that a person's "labour service is alienable, but his will is not" and that “he cannot alienate his will, more particularly his control over his own mind and body." He contrasts private property and self-ownership by arguing that "all physical property owned by a person is alienable . . . I can give away or sell to another person my shoes, my house, my car, my money, etc. But there are certain vital things which, in natural fact and in the nature of man, are inalienable . . . [his] will and control over his own person are inalienable." Ironically, the rights of property (which are said to flow from an individual's self-ownership of themselves) becomes the means, under capitalism, by which self-ownership of non-property owners is denied. The foundational right (self-ownership) becomes denied by the derivative right (ownership of things). Under capitalism, a lack of property can be just as oppressive as a lack of legal rights because of the relationships of domination and subjection this situation creates. So Rothbard's argument (as well as being contradictory) misses the point (and the reality of capitalism). Yes, if we define freedom as "the absence of coercion" then the idea that wage labour does not restrict liberty is unavoidable, but such a definition is useless. This is because it hides structures of power and relations of domination and subordination. As Carole Pateman argues, "the contract in which the worker allegedly sells his labour power is a contract in which, since he cannot be separated from his capacities, he sells command over the use of his body and himself. . . To sell command over the use of oneself for a specified period . . . is to be an unfree labourer." In other words, contracts about property in the person inevitably create subordination. "Anarcho"-capitalism defines this source of unfreedom away, but it still exists and has a major impact on people's liberty. Therefore freedom is better described as "self-government" or "self-management" -- to be able to govern ones own actions (if alone) or to participate in the determination of join activity (if part of a group). Freedom, to put it another way, is not an abstract legal concept, but the vital concrete possibility for every human being to bring to full development all their powers, capacities, and talents which nature has endowed them. A key aspect of this is to govern one own actions when within associations (self-management). If we look at freedom this way, we see that coercion is condemned but so is hierarchy (and so is capitalism for during working hours, people are not free to make their own plans and have a say in what affects them. They are order takers, not free individuals).

  6583. LwrC 1984? Orwell was a true post-Capitalist Democratic Socialist you dumbass. “Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.” George Orwell, “Why I write” p. 394 “And the only regime which, in the long run, will dare to permit freedom of speech is a socialist regime. If Fascism triumphs I am finished as a writer — that is to say, finished in my only effective capacity. That of itself would be a sufficient reason for joining a socialist party.” – George Orwell, “Why I Joined the Independent Labour Party” “Socialism means a classless society, or it means nothing at all. And it was here that those few months in the militia were valuable to me. For the Spanish militias, while they lasted, were a sort of microcosm of a classless society. In that community where no one was on the make, where there was a shortage of everything but no privilege and no bootlicking, one got, perhaps, a crude forecast of what the opening stages of socialism might be like. And, after all, instead of disillusioning me it deeply attracted me. The effect was to make my desire to see socialism established much more actual than it had been before.” George Orwell, ‘Homage to Catalonia’

If you’re going by chronology we can give credit to ancient empires like the Romans that collapsed thus ending their slavery. I mean technically the Roman Empire collapsed centuries before Britain abolished slavery so the Romans should be credited with ending slavery ages before the Brits did. You see how retarded going by chronology is? It’s an egregious sin that it took the US nearly a century to end slavery since it’s foundation as a liberal Republic. The hypocrisy that slavery goes completely against liberalism as an ideology made no difference to the American founders. The only real liberal it seems was Thomas Paine who radicalized the colonies to fight the Revolution with “Common Sense” for a radical democratic future that thanks to the elites of the time did not happen.

  6602. Billy Pardew capitalism isn’t synonymous with markets. Markets existed long before a socioeconomic system of proprietors relying on wage work for the accumulation of wealth and capital. Capitalism is very much a system of the primacy of capital, the rule of wealth, plutocracy. Classical liberals were even critical of capitalism, the word capitalist was a pejorative for those merchants and owners of capital whom received privileges and favors from State authority, so that they maintain monopolistic practices. Early liberals advocates for industrial democracy and what today is called Market Socialism. David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill, Rousseau, Thomas Hodgskin etc... several were self proclaimed socialists, as socialism was understood as those who hold the labor theory of value, and against the primacy of capital over labor, or a ruling business elite. Hodgskin’s “Labour defended against the claims of Capital” is one of the earliest works of class struggle and socialist principle. Such sentiments continued in liberal circles unto Abraham Lincoln and the modern socialist movements. Yes there are actual leftist socialist strains opposed to Leninism and authoritarian state socialism. Socialism started in liberal thought and circles. There’s a strain of free market anarchists and market socialists who are anti-capitalist and would see the end of all forms of usury. Interest, rent, profit all forms of income not earned by labor, other than inheritance. Some want labor notes, or time notes as in Josiah Warren’s Time Store where the currency were notes of amount labor used for production. Mutualists would have Mutual Banks where people would get loans at low interest rates in whatever currency and have capital for competition in the markets. The government already has a monopoly on finance and currency. We should be able to use whatever currency is accepted. Don’t conflate capitalism with a free market system, they are not the same. Taking the ideals of classical liberals you’ll naturally come to an anti-capitalist market socialist ideology and model. Capitalism is simply making money cause you own a property, extract the surplus, and worker’s who create the value and wealth are left to a wage. As Lincoln said: "And, inasmuch [as] most good things are produced by labour, it follows that [all] such things of right belong to those whose labour has produced them. But it has so happened in all ages of the world, that some have laboured, and others have, without labour, enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue. To [secure] to each labourer the whole product of his labour, or as nearly as possible, is a most worthy object of any good government."

The person who did lose their ability to give birth says she’s fine with it, doesn’t care. A decision was made for her health, to save herself it has consequences but life is messy, she learned to deal with it. Had she not she may have killed herself anyway. By the way this modern serge of Christian Nationalists aren’t conservatives, they are reactionary regressives. Apparently so are you. Real conservatives detested the religious right. Barry Goldwater warned the country of the fascism that would be in store for the country if the religious right were allowed to takeover the Republican Party, and here we are. You aren’t conservative, you are reactionaries with ideals that don’t belong in the American political landscape. The United States isn’t Traditionalist Catholic (which are leading the religious right) it’s Protestant Reformist and liberal theology. You people have Pool, Peterson, Shapiro, Crowder etc…. That’s a joke, social conservatism and the religious right have destroyed the Conservative movement. I mean that’s a far cry from real serious philosophers and thinkers like William F Buckley and Barry Goldwater.

Your ideals and fanaticism are the same reactionary extremism that has been in conflict with the American Revolution and liberal Enlightenment since the founding of the Republic

  6605. @Pat Orsban what are you an idiot? My point comes from an actual free market place. Libertarian socialism has a strain of free markets. Socialism means worker ownership. Like I said Republicans believe as much about free markets as Alexander Hamilton did. This country has never had liberal economics. It was either American School which was nationalist economics, and the South had slavery which was a plantation system without any liberal sense. Study our own history. The only people I know that actually advocate free markets are libertarian socialists. One of the most influential was Benjamin Tucker and this is what he said: “The economic principles of Modern Socialism are a logical deduction from the principle laid down by Adam Smith in the early chapters of his Wealth of Nations,—namely, that labor is the true measure of price. But Adam Smith, after stating this principle most clearly and concisely, immediately abandoned all further consideration of it to devote himself to showing what actually does measure price, and how, therefore, wealth is at present distributed. Since his day nearly all the political economists have followed his example by confining their function to the description of society as it is, in its industrial and commercial phases. Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be. Half a century or more after Smith enunciated the principle above stated, Socialism picked it up where he had dropped it, and in following it to its logical conclusions, made it the basis of a new economic philosophy. This seems to have been done independently by three different men, of three different nationalities, in three different languages: Josiah Warren, an American; Pierre J. Proudhon, a Frenchman; Karl Marx, a German Jew. That Warren and Proudhon arrived at their conclusions singly and unaided is certain; but whether Marx was not largely indebted to Proudhon for his economic ideas is questionable. However this may be, Marx’s presentation of the ideas was in so many respects peculiarly his own that he is fairly entitled to the credit of originality. That the work of this interesting trio should have been done so nearly simultaneously would seem to indicate that Socialism was in the air, and that the time was ripe and the conditions favorable for the appearance of this new school of thought. So far as priority of time is concerned, the credit seems to belong to Warren, the American,—a fact which should be noted by the stump orators who are so fond of declaiming against Socialism as an imported article. Of the purest revolutionary blood, too, this Warren, for he descended from the Warren who fell at Bunker Hill. From Smith’s principle that labor is the true measure of price—or, as Warren phrased it, that cost is the proper limit of price—these three men made the following deductions: that the natural wage of labor is its product; that this wage, or product, is the only just source of income (leaving out, of course, gift, inheritance, etc.); that all who derive income from any other source abstract it directly or indirectly from the natural and just wage of labor; that this abstracting process generally takes one of three forms,—interest, rent, and profit; that these three constitute the trinity of usury, and are simply different methods of levying tribute for the use of capital; that, capital being simply stored-up labor which has already received its pay in full, its use ought to be gratuitous, on the principle that labor is the only basis of price; that the lender of capital is entitled to its return intact, and nothing more; that the only reason why the banker, the stockholder, the landlord, the manufacturer, and the merchant are able to exact usury from labor lies in the fact that they are backed by legal privilege, or monopoly; and that the only way to secure labor the enjoyment of its entire product, or natural wage, is to strike down monopoly.”

  6607. @Pat Orsban According to a GAO report, about a quarter of the largest American corporations paid no corporate income tax in 2005. It hasn’t really changed since. But that’s really just the way the system is set up. If you think about it, the corporate income tax really isn’t all that progressive. Just about all the tax loopholes and other tricks for avoiding taxation tend to favor the big boys at the expense of everyone else. Perhaps the single best way to avoid taxes is for transnationals to shuffle income to subsidiaries in the lowest-taxed jurisdictions, so transnationals already have a leg up on the smaller companies that operate primarily in the United States. And if you look at the largest tax deductions and tax credits, they go overwhelmingly to companies that are capital-intensive (the writeoff for depreciation), high tech (the R&D tax credit), or heavily involved in mergers and acquisitions (the deduction for interest on corporate debt). What’s more, the largest corporations are least likely to suffer for whatever corporate income taxes they do pay, because they tend to be in oligopoly industries that practice tacit pricing collusion through the “price leader” system. This doesn’t require any conspiracies or secret meetings in smoke-filled rooms. When three, four or five large firms control more than half the market in a given industry, they tend to follow the pricing practices of the dominant firm. So prices in an oligopoly market are “stickier.” The practical effect is that the big firms in an oligopoly industry are able to use administered pricing based on a markup from their costs — including the corporate income tax — and pass them on to the customers. That’s essentially the same thing a regulated public utility does. So the largest corporations are more likely to be able to just pass their taxes on to the consumer as a markup, and set themselves an after-tax profit over and above those expenses. Smaller corporations in the competitive sector, on the other hand, are price-takers rather than price-makers. This means that the corporate income tax on the large companies is mostly paid by the customer as part of the markup, whereas the smaller firms take more of a hit on their profits. In other words, the “progressive” agenda of closing corporate income tax loopholes and raising rates on the big boys will have the unintended consequence of raising prices on the consumer without affecting corporate profits. So what’s the solution? Instead of taxing their profits higher, we should be eliminating all the interventions by which the state makes their profits so large in the first place. That means abolishing copyrights and patents, state-enforced monopolies which are the single biggest source of profit in the transnational corporate economy. The biggest source of profit is royalties on information and entertainment whose marginal cost of production is zero. If it wasn’t for “intellectual property,” Microsoft Office would cost about as much as my Open Office CD (I got it for ten bucks). What’s more, trademarks and patents are the main legal support for what Naomi Klein calls the “Nike model,” by which all actual manufacturing is outsourced to independent job shops in the Third World and the corporate headquarters simply retains control of production through its control of IP, finance and marketing. Patents and trademarks are the reason for the brand-name markup of hundreds or thousands of percent between the actual cost of making those sneakers in the Chinese sweatshop, and the $200 or so the Western consumer pays at Target. It also means abolishing government subsidies and regulatory cartels of all kinds. Regulatory cartels, in particular, have played a huge role in the formation of stable oligopoly markets and the 25% or so markup the Nader Group found in industries with the smallest number of firms. So once again, this illustrates the same general principle that we keep coming back to: Instead of regulating and taxing the effects of government-enforced monopoly, we instead need to just get rid of the monopoly.

  6608. @Pat Orsban you’re arguing against a radical libertarian free market anarchist. Too bad the conservative “liberal” takes Cold War propaganda created by the government’s agencies, FBI and CIA. COINTELPRO rings a bell? Project MOCKINGBIRD? The FBI’s manipulation of media and attack on civil rights and liberties against dissenters of the State? The murder of civil rights leaders? The persecution of anarchists, socialists, and Marxists? I myself don’t like Marxists, but they still persecuted people for their political ideals. I thought you were a liberal, then stop drinking the State Kool Aid and actually learn about libertarian socialism. Even George Orwell was a democratic socialist with libertarian influences. If conservatives were “liberals” they would have a history of being on the wrong authoritarian side. Slavery, forced segregation, religious zealots, attacks on Enlightenment ideals like rationalism, secularism, the scientific revolution. Today’s conservatism is one the religious right (social tyrants), corporate oligarchs, and police boot lickers. That’s real “liberal”. Don’t take it from me, let’s see what Barry Goldwater had to say: On the Religious Right "The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C' and 'D.' Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism.' " --Speech in the US Senate (16 September 1981) "Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them." --Said in November 1994, as quoted in John Dean, Conservatives Without Conscience (2006) "I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass." --Said in July 1981 in response to Moral Majority founder Jerry Falwell's opposition to the nomination of Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court, of which Falwell had said, "Every good Christian should be concerned." Time Magazine, (20 July, 1981) On Gay Rights "The big thing is to make this country, along with every other country in the world with a few exceptions, quit discriminating against people just because they're gay. You don't have to agree with it, but they have a constitutional right to be gay. And that's what brings me into it." "Having spent 37 years of my life in the military as a reservist, and never having met a gay in all of that time, and never having even talked about it in all those years, I just thought, why the hell shouldn't they serve? They're American citizens. As long as they're not doing things that are harmful to anyone else... So I came out for it." “Gays and lesbians are a part of every American family. They should not be shortchanged in their efforts to better their lives and serve their communities. As President Clinton likes to say, ‘If you work hard and play by the rules, you’ll be rewarded’ and not with a pink slip just for being gay.” On True Conservatism "What I was talking about[Gay rights, Abortion]was more or less 'conservative,' " Goldwater recalls, saying he was smeared by the people around President Johnson – "the most dishonest man we ever had in the presidency." Goldwater continues: "The oldest philosophy in the world is conservatism, and I go clear back to the first Greeks. ... When you say 'radical right' today, I think of these moneymaking ventures by fellows like Pat Robertson and others who are trying to take the Republican Party away from the Republican Party, and make a religious organization out of it. If that ever happens, kiss politics goodbye." Bill and Hillary Clinton "On Hillary Clinton, who was an ardent Goldwater supporter in 1964: 'If he'd let his wife run business, I think he'd be better off. ... I just like the way she acts. I've never met her, but I sent her a bag of chili, and she invited me to come to the White House some night and said she'd cook chili for me. Someday, maybe.' " --"Barry Goldwater's Turn", Washington Post

  6609. @Pat Orsban The modern conservative coalition is one of religious fanatics with no respect for secularism, and rights “libertarians” that aren’t critical of the monopolies or State interference in the economy. No they’re all for Corporatocracy. As you can see from Barry Goldwater’s comments the modern Democrats are the true traditionalist conservatives. They come from a line fo traditional conservatism following the Federalists—Whigs—Lincoln Republicans—Modern Democrats. Modern Democrats are traditionalists that support traditional political institutions, neoliberalism, and even liberal values by degrees. Literally the party of urban liberal industrialists, like Lincoln’s party was. Last I checked the Democrats were the Federalists. Only morons believe social conservatism is the only kind of conservatism. You also have economic conservatives, cultural conservatives, and traditionalist conservatives which the Democrats of today are. They’re incrementalists and status quo, which is why I hate the Democratic Party I agree that American conservatism should be liberal and constitutionalist, too bad modern conservatives don’t believe so. They’re religious tyrants trying to make everyone else live by their morals, they don’t actually support free markets, they don’t believe in liberal society, they want the Church to have more influence, they don’t support the Constitution (probably never read it), and they practically follow their politicians words like gospel. If they were actually liberals the Republican Party wouldn’t allow so many monopolies to exist. They support patent monopolies so don’t ever talk about conservatives being liberals again. I know real classical liberals, we get along. They are Georgists, actual classical economics, and actually want to limit government. None of them are Republicans

  6610. @Pat Orsban actually, no government is necessary to assure no monopolies. For so called “free marketeers” conservatives sure never advocate an end to the monopolies of money, land, patents, and tariffs. I have yet to see a conservative talk about free competition in finance and money supply. Yes indeed capitalists love their government protections and law making to prevent free competition. Under genuine free markets the standard would easily become worker’s cooperatives, wages rising to their natural product, and full access to capital. The market anarchist ideal is “Socialist Ends, Through Market Means”

Anthropology, ethnography, biology, eugenics, and genetics do not support “race” classifications. The concept of race was a social darwinian (not proper Darwinism) justification for capitalism (competition/survival of the fittest), imperialism, colonization, white supremacy, and racism.

  6675. Daniel Paul oh I see. Your problem is being a Marxist or a Leninist. Last time I checked social democracy was an utter failure and deteriorated to capitalist reformism. And Leninism degrades to State Capitalism. As G.D.H. Cole puts it, the French Internationalists, including Varlin, were “strongly hostile to centralisation. They were federalists, intent on building up working-class organisations on a local basis and them federating the local federations. The free France they looked forward was to be a country made up of locally autonomous communes, freely federated for common purposes which required action over larger areas . . . In this sense they were Anarchists.” Varlin “had at bottom a great deal more in common with Proudhon than with Marx” and had a “Syndicalist outlook.” “Varlin and the French Bakuninists,” George Woodcock notes, “had also [like the syndicalists] recognised before the Paris Commune the role of the trade unions in social struggle, and the general strike.” To quote Varlin himself, unions have “the enormous advantage of making people accustomed to group life and thus preparing them for a more extended social organisation. They accustom people not only to get along with one another and to understand one another, but also to organise themselves, to discuss, and to reason from a collective perspective.” Moreover, as well as mitigating capitalist exploitation and oppression in the here and now, the unions also “form the natural elements of the social edifice of the future; it is they who can be easily transformed into producers associations; it is they who can make the social ingredients and the organisation of production work.” The Anarchist critique of the Commune was that it retained a government, inefficient, and unable to administer a social revolution of a mass of people. Marx praised the Commune and thought that in it all his ideals come to fruition. Except the Commune was exceptionally anarchist, federalist, and based in Proudhon’s mutualism. The working associations and clubs side stepped the city government and organized themselves in spite of the “revolutionary government.” You need to read more.

  6676. Daniel Paul Ultimately, this is the key ideological flaw in Marxism. While claiming to base itself on mass participation, direct democracy and so forth (“socialism from below”) it advocates a form of social organisation, centralisation, which is designed to exclude it. Despite themselves, they end up advocating party rule (“socialism from above”) and ensure the defeat of the revolution from within if not from without. “the form at last discovered…”? For Marx, the Commune was “the political form at last discovered under which to work out the economical emancipation of labour.” He praised such aspects of the experiment as the Communal Council being made up of delegates who would could be recalled “bound by the mandat imperatif (formal instructions) of his constituents,” that it was a “working, not a parliamentary, body, executive and legislative at the same time” and that “the standing army was to be replaced by a national militia.” Marx is paraphrased: “What made the Parisian democratic structure so different?” Its representatives which “were 'at all times revocable' so delegates could not stray from the mandate of their electors.” The creation of a militia is also praised. Yet this was not entirely true. While the Communards had applied these forms it is false to say that they had come entirely out of the blue. In fact, the Paris Commune applied ideas which anarchists had been discussing for some time. Proudhon, for example, raised the idea of binding mandates and assemblies of elected representatives being executive and legislative during the 1848 revolution: “It is up to the National Assembly, through organisation of its committees, to exercise executive power, just the way it exercises legislative power . . . Besides universal suffrage and as a consequence of universal suffrage, we want implementation of the binding mandate. Politicians balk at it! Which means that in their eyes, the people, in electing representatives, do not appoint mandatories but rather abjure their sovereignty! That is assuredly not socialism: it is not even democracy.” The vision of a free society being a federation of communes was discussed by Proudhon in his 1863 book “The Principle of Federation” (which drew on ideas he had expressed previously – and even earlier, from the Great French Revolution). Bakunin repeated the same vision of a federal system of communes based on mandated and revocable delegates in the 1860s: “the Alliance of all labour associations . . . will constitute the Commune . . . there will be a standing federation of the barricades and a Revolutionary Communal Council . . . [made up of] delegates . . . invested with binding mandates and accountable and revocable at all times . . . all provinces, communes and associations . . . [will] delegate deputies to an agreed place of assembly (all . . . invested with binding mandated and accountable and subject to recall), in order to found the federation of insurgent associations, communes and provinces . . . and to organise a revolutionary force with the capacity of defeating the reaction . . . it is through the very act of extrapolation and organisation of the Revolution with an eye to the mutual defences of insurgent areas that the universality of the Revolution . . . will emerge triumphant.” What of abolishing the army and replacing it with a militia. For Gluckstein, the idea of a militia “owed nothing to . . . Proudhon's anarchist rejection of the state . . . The federation wanted to replace the permanent army with a workers' militia . . . That completely subverted the idea of the state as something imposing its will upon society from above.” This is not entirely true, as Proudhon did raise the notion that “police, judiciary, administration, everywhere committed to the hands of the workers.” However, as a reformist Proudhon did not address the issue of defence of a revolution. This was something which Bakunin raised in a striking prediction of what happened in 1871: “Immediately after established governments have been overthrown, communes will have to reorganise themselves along revolutionary lines . . . In order to defend the revolution, their volunteers will at the same time form a communal militia. But no commune can defend itself in isolation. So it will be necessary to radiate revolution outward, to raise all of its neighbouring communes in revolt . . . and to federate with them for common defence.” So the awkward fact is that anarchists had been advocating these forms since Proudhon in the 1840s and they were developed by Bakunin in the 1860s. It is true, however, that nothing similar can be found in Marx until after the Commune which suggests, as Anarchist K.J. Kenafick states, “that the programme [the Commune] set out is . . . the system of Federalism, which Bakunin had been advocating for years, and which had first been enunciated by Proudhon. The Proudhonists . . . exercised considerable influence in the Commune. This 'political form' was therefore not 'at last' discovered; it had been discovered years ago; and now it was proven to be correct by the very fact that in the crisis the Paris workers adopted it almost automatically, under the pressure of circumstance, rather than as the result of theory, as being the form most suitable to express working class aspirations.” So, clearly, the major influence in terms of “political vision” of the Commune was anarchism. The “rough sketch of national organisation which the Commune had no time to develop” which Marx praises but does not quote was written by a follower of Proudhon. It expounded a clearly federalist and “bottom-up” organisational structure. Based on this libertarian revolt, it is unsurprising that Marx's defence of it took on a libertarian twist. As noted by Bakunin, who argued that its “general effect was so striking that the Marxists themselves, who saw their ideas upset by the uprising, found themselves compelled to take their hats off to it. They went further, and proclaimed that its programme and purpose where their own, in face of the simplest logic . . . This was a truly farcical change of costume, but they were bound to make it, for fear of being overtaken and left behind in the wave of feeling which the rising produced throughout the world.”

  6677. Daniel Paul see this is your misconception. Markets aren’t inherently Statist. Literally free markets require no state something capitalists know nothing about. There is a direct line from classical liberalism to socialism. Classical liberals were developing the labor theory of value that socialists believe in. From Adam Smith, to David Ricardo, to Thomas Hodgskin, to John Stuart Mill etc.... the lie of capitalism, classical liberals believed in labor theory, and were against capitalism. Hodgskin wrote “Labor Defended Against the Claims of Capital” Mill supported worker cooperatives over capitalist firms. All markets are is commercial exchange, transactions. Don’t need the state for markets, for Trade. And I’m a Syndicalist. I think markers are ultimately better left ended. The central fallacy of the argument that support for markets equals support for capitalism is that many self-proclaimed socialists are not opposed to the market. Indeed, some of the earliest socialists were market socialists (people like Thomas Hodgskin and William Thompson, although the former ended up rejecting socialism and the latter became a communal-socialist). Proudhon, as noted, was a well known supporter of market exchange. German sociologist Franz Oppenheimer expounded a similar vision to Proudhon and called himself a “liberal socialist” as he favoured a free market but recognised that capitalism was a system of exploitation. [“Introduction”, The State, p. vii] Today, market socialists like David Schweickart (see his Against Capitalism and After Capitalism) and David Miller (see his Market, State, and community: theoretical foundations of market socialism) are expounding a similar vision to Proudhon’s, namely of a market economy based on co-operatives (albeit one which retains a state). Unfortunately, they rarely, if ever, acknowledge their debt to Proudhon (needless to say, their Leninist opponents do as, from their perspective, it damns the market socialists as not being real socialists). It could, possibly, be argued that these self-proclaimed socialists did not, in fact, understand what socialism “really meant.” For this to be the case, other, more obviously socialist, writers and thinkers would dismiss them as not being socialists. This, however, is not the case. Thus we find Karl Marx, for example, writing of “the socialism of Proudhon.” [Capital, vol. 1, p. 161f] Engels talked about Proudhon being “the Socialist of the small peasant and master-craftsman” and of “the Proudhon school of Socialism.” [Marx and Engels, Selected Works, p. 254 and p. 255] Bakunin talked about Proudhon’s “socialism, based on individual and collective liberty and upon the spontaneous action of free associations.” He considered his own ideas as “Proudhonism widely developed and pushed right to these, its final consequences” [Michael Bakunin: Selected Writings, p. 100 and p. 198] For Kropotkin, while Godwin was “first theoriser of Socialism without government — that is to say, of Anarchism” Proudhon was the second as he, “without knowing Godwin’s work, laid anew the foundations of Anarchism.” He lamented that “many modern Socialists” supported “centralisation and the cult of authority” and so “have not yet reached the level of their two predecessors, Godwin and Proudhon.” [Evolution and Environment, pp. 26–7] These renown socialists did not consider Proudhon’s position to be in any way anti-socialist (although, of course, being critical of whether it would work and its desirability if it did). Tucker, it should be noted, called Proudhon “the father of the Anarchistic school of Socialism.” [Instead of a Book, p. 381] Little wonder, then, that the likes of Tucker considered themselves socialists and stated numerous times that they were. Looking at Tucker and the Individualist anarchists we discover that other socialists considered them socialists. Rudolf Rocker stated that “it is not difficult to discover certain fundamental principles which are common to all of them and which divide them from all other varieties of socialism. They all agree on the point that man be given the full reward of his labour and recognise in this right the economic basis of all personal liberty. They all regard the free competition of individual and social forces as something inherent in human nature ... They answered the socialists of other schools who saw in free competition one of the destructive elements of capitalist society that the evil lies in the fact we have too little rather than too much competition, since the power of monopoly has made competition impossible.” [Pioneers of American Freedom, p. 160] Malatesta, likewise, saw many schools of socialism, including “anarchist or authoritarian, mutualist or individualist.” [Errico Malatesta: His Life and Ideas, p. 95]

  6690.  @ThePangeaArchivesInstitute  the complex philosophy of Proudhon is a nuance anti-theism. In his dialectics he looks for the synthesis, of not balance of forces. Proudhon’s take was that whatever the case of God’s existence the balance of theism and atheism is anti-theism; God is an unknowable element and should not concern us. Whether real or not, humanity has outgrown the need of God. That was Proudhon’s anti-theism

  6691. Earthbjorn Nahkaimurrao I know. The WASP that have ran this country are assholes that don't practice what they preach. But the Confederate leaders themselves stated that they have a right to enslave the lesser race as they are beneath a white man. That shit is racism and they fought to keep their slaver's institutions plain and simple.

  6692. TheTabaK23 Both based on racial superiority. Except Nazis believed the Nordic Aryan race to be the master race. Confederates viewed the Protestants of Anglo-Saxon roots to be pure white-Americans.

  6693. Jacob Sigler There were more crimes against humanity occurring. The dogma of seeing people as property allowed for some real despicable shit. Many things slave owners did to the slaves would now be considered a crime to do to anyone. They were able to do it because it technically wasn't crime, but we all know it was. So no crime may technically not have been committed but only because laws were barbaric at the time.

  6694. Rickle Pick13 The WASP that run this country have always been entitled pricks. I know all these people allowed and accepted racism to be fundamental in America's earlier culture. The Founding Fathers must have figured they won't solve racism and slavery anytime soon so just left it for a possible more enlightened future. No one is perfect, and this country has a history of not living up to it's ideals to this day. It's a work in progress.
    1
  6695. Jeffrey Samuels What I'm comparing is they both have basic fundamentals of racism and superior race. Nazism was pure racism, race before anything. Confederate ideals were racist as well. They professed the superiority of the white man, as in Protestant and Anglo-Saxon, over others and that they have a right to enslave the lesser race to maintain their rural way of life. The core of both ideologies are racist, plain and simple. Of course they're not the exact same verbatim.

  6696. Tucker Porn And they called themselves Christians? Slavery was a shit institution and I'm fine with the Government saying no to the issue.

We still feel the ripple effects of European powers thinking they're better than everyone during the Age of Exploration and Imperialism. Ideologies are still influenced by "White Man's Burden" doctrine. Including the Protestants of Anglo-Saxon roots in America. People still think in lines of racism, it's in every race. So please be more respectable in your arguments, Rick Sanchez you are not.

  6698. Calvin Scott You're right. What I meant specifically I suppose was a slave state. Of course similar institutions prevailed. But imagine if the Confederacy seceded. More years without progress. Racism will remain an issue until there aren't races, or the concept of it.
    1
  6699. Calvin Scott But slavery would have continue, that's many generations dead of slave labor and suffering crimes against humanity. Also the tensions between such countries would have continued, border lines disputed. I'm sure the racist regime would have sought wars with Mexico for more territory and potential slaves. There would have been potentially more wars between three sovereign states in North American soil.
    1
  6700. Calvin Scott European powers spread an ideology of "White Man's Burden" throughout the Age of Exploration. They clearly were ethnocentric and viewed their culture, religion, and overall society as greater than all others. This escalated racism. Slavery institutions started for economic convenience and these people's superiority complex. Of course I know slavery is not unique to America, we weren't even talking about it so I didn't have to bring it up to the argument we are having. Slavery was worse in Brazil than in the U.S. Portuguese were a special kind of assholes. We were talking about slavery and the Confederacy, so stop trying to say I'm ignorant of facts. Slavery is as old as civilization. Romans perfected the practice. Egyptians took to slavery. Any people with a superiority complex engaged in the practice. African tribes enslaved each other. Yes I know it's a fact of history. When talking about the institution in the U.S. however it leads back to the ideologies and dogma of European Christian nations. And since in the South the dominant culture was dictated by slave owners then yes the majority of the people were racist. And those ideals continued into post-Reconstruction and Jim Crow era. Racism won't die until a paradigm shift occurs in the dominant culture ideology. But it's long way off if it'll ever happen.

  6705. Damn how are they even that out of touch? Note that modern neoliberalism is an excuse to protect years of coerced accumulated wealth and capital by monopolists that are not interested in free markets. They are the mercantile monopolists Adam Smith was against. First they capture the State to use government to create their monopolist advantages and privileges. Now they call for government out of the economy so that they can maintain their exploited goods. They steal and then claim liberal economics to keep their ill gotten wealth fearing government now used by universal democracy to redistribute wealth. Adam Smith supported government dealing with monopolists to create an actual free market system, not government staying out of these corporations control of resources and wealth. Democratize industry.

He supported democratic and anti-authoritarian socialism. You can’t just ignore the context, agree or disagree
    1
  6711.  @billystanton1522  Orwell wasn’t a Marxist, his influence was anarchists. You could only speculate but Orwell saw in socialism, specifically the original anti-authoritarian socialism before the Bolsheviks became dominant, as the cure and foundations for the most libertarian society in the world. Fun Fact: Libertarianism comes from socialism. The early anti-authoritarian and anti-statists were anarchist-communists and free market anti-capitalist socialists. For example as the Free Market Socialist Benjamin Tucker said: “The economic principles of Modern Socialism are a logical deduction from the principle laid down by Adam Smith in the early chapters of his Wealth of Nations,—namely, that labor is the true measure of price. But Adam Smith, after stating this principle most clearly and concisely, immediately abandoned all further consideration of it to devote himself to showing what actually does measure price, and how, therefore, wealth is at present distributed. Since his day nearly all the political economists have followed his example by confining their function to the description of society as it is, in its industrial and commercial phases. Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be. Half a century or more after Smith enunciated the principle above stated, Socialism picked it up where he had dropped it, and in following it to its logical conclusions, made it the basis of a new economic philosophy.” Anarchists are socialists, the most libertarian tendencies are socialist, and this was Orwell’s influence. You’re conflating capitalism with market economy, which is historical error. There are many market socialists. What socialists like Orwell called capitalism is the monopolist system of capitalists and landowners, preventing a free economy. Since only through the socialization of the land and means of production does the State become unnecessary. Or again as Tucker said: “From Smith’s principle that labor is the true measure of price—or, as Warren phrased it, that cost is the proper limit of price—these three men (Warren, Proudhon, Marx) made the following deductions: that the natural wage of labor is its product; that this wage, or product, is the only just source of income (leaving out, of course, gift, inheritance, etc.); that all who derive income from any other source abstract it directly or indirectly from the natural and just wage of labor; that this abstracting process generally takes one of three forms,—interest, rent, and profit; that these three constitute the trinity of usury, and are simply different methods of levying tribute for the use of capital; that, capital being simply stored-up labor which has already received its pay in full, its use ought to be gratuitous, on the principle that labor is the only basis of price; that the lender of capital is entitled to its return intact, and nothing more; that the only reason why the banker, the stockholder, the landlord, the manufacturer, and the merchant are able to exact usury from labor lies in the fact that they are backed by legal privilege, or monopoly; and that the only way to secure labor the enjoyment of its entire product, or natural wage, is to strike down monopoly.” Whether you think classless society is utopian or not doesn’t matter, Orwell witnessed it in Catalonia, and wished to see such a social revolution spread and liberate. The old Anarchist notion of no authoritarian hierarchies, but free association and voluntary cooperation. In case you don’t know libertarian socialism comes from classical liberalism. Capitalism comes from feudalism and mercantilism. Classical liberals were the predecessors of socialists, or as John Stuart Mill said: “The form of association, however, which if mankind continue to improve, must be expected in the end to predominate, is not that which can exist between a capitalist as chief, and work-people without a voice in the management, but the association of the labourers themselves on terms of equality, collectively owning the capital with which they carry on their operations, and working under managers elected and removable by themselves.”

  6724. Maheedhar Sonthineni "Capital" [...] in the political field is analogous to "government". [...] The economic idea of capitalism, the politics of government or of authority, and the theological idea of the Church are three identical ideas, linked in various ways. To attack one of them is equivalent to attacking all of them. [...] What capital does to labour, and the State to liberty, the Church does to the spirit. This trinity of absolutism is as baneful in practice as it is in philosophy. The most effective means for oppressing the people would be simultaneously to enslave its body, its will and its reason.” “Under the law of association, transmission of wealth does not apply to the instruments of labour, so cannot become a cause of inequality. [...] We are socialists [...] under universal association, ownership of the land and of the instruments of labour is social ownership. [...] We want the mines, canals, railways handed over to democratically organised workers' associations. [...] We want these associations to be models for agriculture, industry and trade, the pioneering core of that vast federation of companies and societies, joined together in the common bond of the democratic and social Republic.” Pierre J Proudhon (first to call anti-statist socialism anarchism). Tell me when you find Americans speaking like that and I’ll believe you there are leftist figures. Though to be honest this is a far leftist quote. I don’t even see prominent Marxists in the USA that would use political action to achieve socialist goals. An actual labor party.
    1
  6725. Maheedhar Sonthineni Lol what kind of distorted history are you on about? Sounds like Statist propaganda. When ever someone conflates capitalism with markets I know they have a whitewashed knowledge of history. What gave birth to Capitalism were State coerced policies like the Enclosure Acts in Britain. I mean capitalism as a system that thrives on a population of poverty to exploit must be a system of liberty huh? Nope. Classical liberals weren’t capitalist enthusiasts they advocated free markets and free enterprise. The fact that Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Thomas Hodgskin, John Stuart Mill, early Herbert Spencer etc… were the direct predecessors to radical liberal socialists means that there is a divergence of history. One where liberal economics leads to socialist theory and the other where the bourgeois property owning class took advantage of liberal economics and industrializations growth along with State consolidation to remove the aristocrats so that the capitalists become the new ruling elite. I recommend classical liberal works like Thomas Hodgskin’s “Labor Defended Against the Claims of Capital” or subsequent liberal treatises like the works of Charles Comte and Dunoyer. Class struggle theory began among radical liberal circles. Free-market economics was not always capitalist economics. It is important to note here that mid-nineteenth century defenders of laissez faire — for example, Richard Cobden and John Bright in England, Charles Comte and Charles Dunoyer in France — did not believe that they were engaged in a defense of capitalism. An analysis of historical record reveals a picture of which the careful student of history is already aware: the word “capitalism” was only very rarely used prior to the twentieth century; earlier in appearance were phrases like “capitalistic system,” which were employed to describe not the principled free market system championed by modern libertarians, but a system in which property-owners were systematically advantaged by special legal treatment. The term for the individual holder of capital, “capitalist,” also long predates the -ism form. As classical political economy came, in the industrial era’s youth, to be associated (correctly or not) with a bourgeois apology for monopoly and the exploitative treatment of workers, many radicals searched for justice in a balancing of liberty and equality. The French anarchist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon was one such radical, a unique thinker whose work can help us better understand the historical intermingling of socialist, anarchist, and liberal currents. The kinship connecting classical liberalism and early anarchism remains underappreciated, in part because the tag liberal is often applied as an epithet by contemporary radicals, including anarchists. David Goodway, who specializes in anarchist history, observes the “truth in the remark that Proudhon was a liberal in proletarian clothing,” sharing with classical liberals (radical ones in particular) “the ideal of a society based on contractual relationships between free and equal individuals.” In this vision at least, Proudhon was almost certainly influenced by Charles Comte and Charles Dunoyer, students of economist Jean-Baptiste Say and publishers of the radical liberal journal Le Censeur (later *Le Censeur Européen*). Their liberalism is remarkable in its similarity to modern movement libertarianism. Historian Annelien de Dijn observes that the radical laissez-faire liberalism of Comte and Dunoyer was “developed as an alternative to both the Jacobins’ republicanism and the royalists’ aristocratic liberalism.” The general “admiration for the classical republics,” so central a feature of eighteenth century liberal thought, left Comte and Dunoyer cold; they were concerned not with the architectural design of the ideal polity, but rather with limiting the power and role of the state itself, allowing the productive, industrial spirit its freedom. Comte and Dunoyer pioneered class theory (the supposedly exclusive domain of socialists and communists) and, in foreseeing “a complete withering away of the state,” skirted the edges of explicit anarchism or libertarian socialism.

  6726. Maheedhar Sonthineni so Democrats want to be seen as down with black liberation and protests. So what? All politicians want to look good for their base. Trump pretends he’s down with evangelists. And the Black Panthers were also Maoist Marxists. So what? Colonized peoples have a history of being socialists because they understand capitalism is a hierarchy inherently tied to racial inequality. Black slaves came to the New World as capital. “I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic… [Capitalism] started out with a noble and high motive… but like most human systems it fell victim to the very thing it was revolting against. So today capitalism has out-lived its usefulness.” – Letter to Coretta Scott, July 18, 1952. “In a sense, you could say we’re involved in the class struggle.” –Quote to New York Times reporter, José Igelsias, 1968. “And one day we must ask the question, ‘Why are there forty million poor people in America? And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising questions about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth.’ When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy. And I’m simply saying that more and more, we’ve got to begin to ask questions about the whole society…” –Speech to Southern Christian Leadership Conference Atlanta, Georgia, August 16, 1967. MLK was a Democratic Socialist. Conveniently a part of his legacy left out. Malcolm X was a socialist. Nelson Mandela was a socialist. George Orwell was a socialist. Albert Einstein was a socialist. Mohandas Gandhi was a socialist and a philosophical anarchist etc.... Gandhi and MLK were inspired by the civil resistance/disobedience of the philosophical anarchist David Henry Thoreau. The reason colonized and oppressed people are socialists is because it is anti-imperialist and seeks to form a classless society free of hierarchies. “Socialism is either classless or it is nothing at all.”— George Orwell And BLM being Marxist and socialists is a bad thing?!!

  6736. Kilian G. Yet Marx in his lifetime only was able to give his stamp of approval as an example of a dictatorship of the proletariat, to the Paris Commune. This was a decentralized bottom-up worker’s democracy. Marx also admitted that in the most developed nations such as the US, Germany, France, UK etc... the path of Socialism can be done by evolutionary means, that is to say Democratic Socialism where a worker’s party takes power through parliamentary and democratic methods. Marxism is the social critique of the Capitalist System and alternative post-Capitalist future by analyzing historical materialism. Marxism-Leninism did become the dominant strain of Socialism, but it is not exemplary of all Marxism or Socialism. The authoritarian and elitist nature of Marxist-Leninism was all Lenin’s revolutionary politics. The ideas of Democratic Centrism (centralized top-bottom organization), State control of the economy, bureaucratic administration, and leadership of the elite Vanguard Party were all Lenin’s ideas that lead to the system of State Capitalism. This cause criticism from other strains of Marxism and Socialism. Most notably Anarchists and the Marxist Rosa Luxembourg. Luxembourg was more democratically inclined and for Council Communism. That is direct worker’s control and organized worker’s councils. Since Marxist-Leninism became the dominant Marxist ideal of Socialism most political revolutions such as Maoism in China were informed by Lenin’s revolutionary politics. This does not make Marxism-Leninism the definitive Marxism or Socialism. Socialism is a socioeconomic and political ideology with many schools of thought. Markets aren’t exclusive to Capitalism as they can exist in a Socialist economy. Neither is all Socialism Statist control.

In Europe it is still used to refer to the far left. In America advocates of Chicago and Austrian School of Economics took the word for themselves. Instead of calling themselves liberals which they actually are, to avoid being confused with modern Social Liberals. So they took another term with the root liberty. They are in fact classical liberals, laissez faire Capitalists. Only in America are they conflated with actual Libertarianism (Anarchism, Socialism, Communism).

  6747.  @matth8000  I understand the idea, but to me it's a non-issue created by a misconception. Left wing politics simply means lesser authority and hierarchical social orders. Therefore Anarchists were acknowledged as the most leftist political ideologues. Add why totalitarians and Fascists the most right wing. Post-leftism is born out of the failure of so called traditional left anarchists to gain success. And even a false acceptance of such a thing as right wing "anarchism" which there actually isn't as it's contradictory. Personally I agree of the failure of traditional leftist methods, but I see that more as a success of the Statist and capitalist actors propagandizing the globe to fear Socialism and conflation of capitalism with freedom and free markets.

  6748.  @citigroup64  I think that's a false model. Libertarianism is synonymous with Anarchism which is understood as socialist and the furthest left wing ideology. Right wing implies authority, and social hierarchies which capitalism follows under private owner bosses and social stratification in socioeconomic classes. Hence Anarchists, or real anarchists, being anti-capitalists. No such thing as a libertarian right, or authoritarian left. The Marxist-Leninists were right wing in government model which is why they received much criticism from the left and Lenin got rid of those political rivals.

  6749. Vile Crocodile that’s not a hierarchy. People are better than others at something, that doesn’t mean they all kneel at their feet. In hunter-gathering societies say, women aren’t at home they picked up spears and hunted with men. Seems pretty dumb if they let half the village stay when they need food and tools to survive. Many of these societies had matriarchs or elders, but these weren’t coercive rulers, more as respected figures that guided the good of the community. Earliest hierarchy to have exist may have been the old crime of raping a woman. That itself is a dominant hierarchy of one coercing another. But the mind evolves, and humanity is capable of living in a society with no hierarchies. Equality for Socialists is not everyone is seen the same, other than all humanity having the same liberty, but every individual being allowed to develop their own innate abilities, skills, talents. Such is the “Soul of Man Under Socialism” — Oscar Wilde
    1
  6750. Vile Crocodile Certain villages did not do so. Those that did still do not exhibit hierarchies. If the men were found better at hunting, and women as child bearers were better off at home, that did not mean the men were above women, or that women had a lesser influence upon the community. Men did not rule over women. Again most primitive societies had great respect of maternal figures, perhaps seeing strength in the birthing of children. The point is in the communities there was no ruler, folk settled disputes, or taken to the elders or matriarch to help, and goods or resources shared among the community. The earliest civilization to arise with definable social hierarchies instituted within the society were Sumerian, when the agricultural revolution gave birth to a priestly class who maintained the surplus and soon lugal kings. As humanity developed, it’s inclinations are towards freedom. Classless Stateless autonomy under Libertarian Socialism principles is the most far left ideology for a reason. The Libertarians and Anarchists that followed Classical Liberalism look towards a free world of voluntary free associations based on mutual aid and Socialist values. Not all Socialism is Statist or Marxist-Leninist. Socialism gave rise to anti-authoritarianism, also called Libertarianism (not the US Capitalist kind) and also known as Anarchism. Which despite what people believe doesn’t mean chaotic disorder and no rules.

  6751. Robert Cobklin cause A) only indoctrinated buffoons believe all Socialism is Statist or Marxism-Leninism which was just ONE strain of Socialism. B) Socialism has many strain and gave birth to anti-authoritarianism as Libertarian Socialism aka Anarchism C) You need a history lesson. Libertarianism refers to Anarchism, the anti-Statist branch of Socialism. Libertarian Socialism is against the State, Capitalism, and all forms of hierarchy. Socialism isn’t against Markets depending on the school, but it is against Capitalism which is but one kind of economy that works within markets. Capitalism is not synonymous with Market Economy. Adam Smith and David Ricardo influenced Socialists. Classical Liberals like Rousseau and John Stuart Mill advocated Socialism. Mill preferred worker’s cooperatives over bourgeois Capitalist structures. D) Socialists were the first to call themselves Libertarian. Proudhon a Libertarian Socialist coined Anarchism in the modern political sense. And Joseph DeJaques an Anarchist Communist was the first to coin the term Libertarian. E) US right wing Capitalists took the term Libertarian to distinguish themselves from Modern Liberalism. F) Those matriarchs, elders, chiefs weren’t controlling rulers. They were respected figures, but they made no laws or ruled like kings or politicians. They were peacekeepers. Back then people roamed the land free and settled where they could, a sentiment shared by Jefferson a freedom of humanity. The Classical Liberal would be appalled at the rigid anti-liberty system of industrial Capitalism and multi-national Corporations. “Labor is the superior of Capital, and deserves ever the greater consideration” —Abraham Lincoln

In America pro-Capitalist economic conservatives took the term for themselves, specifically the Chicago School. While in America Libertarians are right wing classical liberals, the word remains in it’s original meaning in far left groups, especially in Europe. Anarchists and Socialists have been around as Libertarians before your laissez faire Capitalists in America and they continue to.

  6763. Titan It’s called Anarcho-Communism, there are shades of that to Libertarian Socialists, it’s a variety of systems that can be implemented. But I’m more of an Anarcho-Syndicalist. Communism is a Stateless, moneyless, classless organization of society. That kind of community is years away. But one that will be major as automation becomes larger. The Libertarian Left is full of many variants of Socialism and Communism.

  6764. Lance The Gimpy fisherman Yeah. Socialism is the transition system to Communism which is a Stateless, moneyless, classless society. I’m an Anarcho-Syndicalist, but the Far Left is full of many variants of Socialism.

  6765. Titan Decentralized and democratized workplaces or industry. The Syndicates deal with each other in Federalist systems. Each Syndicate or Union is worked in a Federalist way, or democratically where any elected officials or managers are subject to direct recall. That’s some of the economic and industrial aspects. It’s worker controlled and owned. Anarchists believe in the core concept of dismantling all unjustified hierarchical structures, or institutions in society. No one should have a coercive agent telling them what to do, unless it is justified, which often you’ll find unsatisfactory justifications. There are several historical communes of such societies, the first being the Paris Commune, the most significant being Anarcho-Syndicalist or Revolutionary Catalonia. You can give these a quick search on YouTube or internet in general. Libertarian Socialism is in other words Anarchist Socialism. Socialism is a socioeconomic system of organization, not a form of government. The doctrines or beliefs of Socialists, Communists, and Anarchists are based on the continuing doctrines of liberty and equality of Liberalism. Just as Liberals dismantled structures of power, wealth, and prestige so does the Libertarian Left/Far Left who are basically an offshoot of or continuing branch of those ideals of Liberalism. Socialism, Communism, and Marxism isn’t all the Cold War propaganda tells you. Marxist-Leninists are another branch inspired by Marxism but went a complete political Totalitarian route. And they achieved neither Socialism nor Communism for their troubles. Just State Capitalism, and an Authoritarian regime ran by a few leaders of the political party instead of giving workers direct ownership of the means of production or democratizing. They failed the workers and the core beliefs of Socialism of Far Leftism ultimately.

  6766. Titan They supposedly established the ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’ which is the Marxist agenda of workers taking control of the State apparatus, essentially the government. When the workers are in control of government they ease the transition to a Socialist economy and finally Communism. This means workers will control the means of production, get rid of private property (not personal property), and establish a post-Capitalist economy. The goal is eventually the State will wither away and the Communist society free of class, State, and money would be in place. Hence Socialism is a transition to Communism. The Soviet Union and other Marxist-Leninist revolutionaries never got rid of State and money and definitely never established Communism. They were following doctrines of Socialism, where the workers take a Revolutionary path, but there is also a less violent more democratic way of being elected into power through a democratic government as well. Regardless Lenin himself called what they achieved State Capitalism. That is the State functions as Capitalists employing people, owning the means of production, receiving profits, and distribute or allocating as they wish. This was not at all Socialism, which Lenin called State Capitalism. Stalin would declare State Capitalism as Communism or Socialism achieved which was inherent bullshit. The workers had employers so that wasn’t Socialist. The workers never controlled the means of production or their own labor in these countries, though they may argue they did through the one-Party system. Regardless it was Totalitarian form of government which was a shit departure from the freedom Socialists always wanted for workers.
    1
  6767. Titan Take over the State or government. Either through Revolution as the Bolsheviks did, or get elected into power. Or just do it some, sectors of collectivized industry are arising as worker coops. The idea is as long as there is the Capitalist class it’ll be hard for workers to take care of themselves. The Capitalists won’t just give up private ownership, they have the backing of the government, and authorities. Where there is Capitalism you’ll find the corporate and private owner class allied with State powers or government maintaining a status quo of wealth and power. Under these circumstances the workers cannot completely own the means of production or get rid of private property, which is protected by the State, indeed that is what Capitalism is rooted in. Hence the working class must seize the State apparatus in whichever way they must.
    1
  6768. Titan The hell are you talking about? Socialism is a socioeconomic system, not a form of government. It focuses are getting rid of classes and giving laborers control of their labor. Catalonia was Anarcho-Syndicalist and the workers owned their means of production. They didn’t have to revolt as this was occurring just before the Spanish Civil War. They formed it over the years and created a society of freedom, no government, a Socialist economy, radical Unionism, and no private property or Capitalism. Everything was decentralized, and democratized, and production was distributed by need not for profit. They thrived until Franco the Fascist dictator won the Civil War. This was a society so free that George Orwell fell in love with it. In “Homage to Catalonia” Orwell expresses his admiration for the freest society he ever witnessed. He despised the Soviet Union and Fascism as seen in his famous works “Animal Farm” and “1984” He fought for the Anarchists and was a true Democratic Socialist the rest of his life. It’s not delusion, people are just fed propaganda that a system where wealth is concentrated to an elite few, the very things Liberals fought against, is some kind of freedom. It’s your ignorance that makes you think there is no other possibility for human social organization. It’s been done before, and people will always move towards freedom not the other way around.
    1
  6769. Titan lol! The ignorance. Catalonia didn’t fail, they were defeated by Fascists and Capitalists. If the Catalonians proved anything it’s that social organization is possible without masters. The freedom to have more fulfilled lives than just labor. True Democratic principles. To make use of every skill and potential. Einstein was such a Socialist, and I think a genius like him knew more about what humanity is capable of. Keep being indoctrinated if you want. I myself earned my political and economic views upon study and reading. Denying humanity’s capabilities for organization without masters and hierarchies, is undermining the species, and insulting to those who fought for and lived those freedoms. Enough said.
    1
  6770. Titan Again you spewed nonsense. I already explained why State Capitalism isn’t anything Socialist. Socialism is a socioeconomic system not a form of government. Usually it’s Anarchists who have achieved that kind of system. They have no government and voluntarily work in a decentralized and collaborative system of industry. Look up the Paris Commune, Revolutionary Catalonia, Rojeva etc... These were free and thriving societies until defeated by Fascists or Monarchists. Again George Orwell paid respects to the Anarchists and Syndicalists of Catalonia, the freest society he ever had the pleasure to witness. We’re talking 1984 Orwell. The praises critic of the Soviet Union and Authoritarianism. Well Orwell was a Democratic Socialist. The intellectuals of Anarchism, Communism, and Socialism made clear in their works that their systems are about liberty and equality. Not the crap Marxist-Leninist pulled off that Lenin himself coined State Capitalism. The Libertarian Left condemns these “Communist States” (an oxymoron) as the garbage they are. You still have this outdated Cold War idea that Communism and Socialism means tyranny. Well no, notice when Capitalism takes a wrong turn you here no such criticisms. Such as the Fascists of Europe, or dictatorships like Pinochet’s in Chile. There’s a reason Anarchists, Socialists, and Communists are places in the Far Left of the political spectrum, they are the systems of least or practically no State coercion upon the individual. It is the most Libertarian wing on the spectrum. I’ll just recommend you educate yourself on the matters instead of just believing what you were told and not challenging preconceived notions. That’s how I became an Anarchist. Not saying you will change your mind but you have nothing to lose informing yourself.

  6771. As a radical leftist Kyle has never come out in favor of socialism, he’s always been about social democracy. Sure he’s fine with worker coops but he’s not a post-capitalist or even anti-capitalist. He just wants the Nordic model. The times Kyle calls himself socialist is because he defines socialism as social programs/welfare and nationalization of industries.

It’s always looked like that. Whenever the Mind Flayer is around we see red sky and thunderstorms. Vecna is just another member of the hive, he doesn’t need to lose his identity and memories to be part of a collective hive. They can still think for themselves, however they are part of a larger organism. As seen with Dustin’s pet Demogorgon in season 2.

Often civil rights is mistaken with majority/minority rule and domination. My feeling is that if people want to opt out of the fundamental protections imposed by a governmental civil society, then they should also have to really opt out of all the benefits provided/imposed. According to the rules that everyone presumably has to abide by, breach of social contract certainly shouldn't be something you can get away with just because you're a religious bigot. If "Christians" want to be outsiders, then there's no particular reason it should be fun for them.

It means selecting from a diverse pool of potential applicants who are qualified first the job, and if they are from a historically discriminated demographic then either give more consideration to hiring that applicant, or not discriminate against them first their background. Conservatives know that they just act stupid and get mad because the field of competition is getting broader. Their real gripe is that they don’t have the State or government supporting discriminatory policies or ignoring and outright supporting white supremacist social actions. They’re mad because they aren’t as coddled by the State or bigoted social institutions as much as was the case. They find the lost of the protection bigotries and racist culture afforded them, and feel undignified actually competing with a broader spectrum of potential career prospects.

The Bad initially represented by Angel Eyes, is just a ruthless criminal with no morals. The Ugly was represented by Tuco, an outlaw who lives by the gun. Ugly is his physical feature is a joke, but is his murderous life that is ugly. In the end Ugly is shown as the death surrounding these men. With a shit of Angel Eye’s corpse. Tuco turns out to be bad, because society has abandoned him, and he makes of life what he can. Angel Eyes is the true ugly and rotten soul, because he is cruel and murderous for pleasure, whereas Tuco is a survivor, and an outlaw of circumstance in the lawless West.

  6855.  @Native4Life2024  those racist based policies use the social construct of race, which has no basis in science or biology, to push their actual class agenda. Slavery was a class system created by ruling imperialists to maintain and exploitation lands and peoples for labor. Material conditions are the the base by which racism is used as a tool of control and exploitation. Another hierarchy created to oppress. This is why most black liberation movements were socialist or communists. Black Panthers, Nelson Mandela, Latin America, third world etc... Socialists have long pushed anti-racism, the elimination of this imperialist social construct used to prevent class solidarity. I recommend Frantz Fanon’s “The Wretched of the Earth.” “We don’t think you fight fire with fire best ; we think you fight fire with water best. We’re going to fight racism not with racism, but we’re going to fight with solidarity. We say we’re not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but we’re going to fight it with socialism. We’re stood up and said we’re not going to fight reactionary pigs and reactionary state’s attorneys like this and reactionary state’s attorneys like Hanrahan with any other reactions on our part. We’re going to fight their reactions with all of us people getting together and having an international proletarian revolution.” - Fred Hampton

  6856. Joaquim Coutinho Marx accepted an authoritarian or authoritative restraint of capitalism. However he saw it as no less authoritative than laws under bourgeois capitalist states. Essentially by law chipping away at the capitalist system. When Socialists, including Marxists, speak of abolishing private property they mean property used as tools of exploitation. Capital exploiting labor. This has been inherent since Proudhon’s “Property is Theft!” Proudhon being a libertarian socialist, anarchist, and Mutualist. Socialists have no problem with personal possessions, and make a distinction between such personal possessions and “private property” or the property used by individuals to exploit others of their labor value. Authoritarian Statist Socialism, Marxist-Leninism stems from the revolutionary political ideology of Lenin. The Bolshevik’s experience and Lenin’s leadership lead to it’s own school of Marxism that are not inherent to classical or orthodox Marxism. Such as the rule of the Vanguard Party, the idea of a single party rule.

  6857.  @jimbob3030  frankly as you said it can also be interpreted as leftist revolutionary politics. There is a long and rich history of Christian liberation theology, liberal religion, and radical religion such as Christian communism and socialism. This is true of other faiths as well. The Cvil Rights movement was organized by the Black evangelical/Baptist Church. The story of young Jesus being a problem child actually makes him more realistic. I also enjoyed the apocryphal texts and the agnostic texts of the Dead Sea scrolls.

Doesn’t take an expert to know that military officials don’t profit from the “MIC” We call it”MIC’ but it’s simple. Industrial complex is simply big business. And the “influence” is the keyword in Eisenhower’s speech. It’s simple corruption between arms manufacturers and politicians. They profit. Military officials don’t, they’re just servicemen, there to take orders. This has been known since Major-General (the highest military office of the time) Smedley Butler’s “War is a Racket”. War literally turned him anti-capitalist. Trump isn’t anti-war or anti-interventionist. He’s always on about extracting the oil. He’s just a corporate tool.

  6863. Actor Cosby no Cosby. Communism has always meant stateless, classless, and moneyless society where the commune (city/township) own the means of life and production for the autonomy of individuals. Marxists just believe in some stupid transition of the working class ruling the State. But communists want a free association federation of communes. Anarchists are communists for a reason. Nation-statists always go on about freedom. What’s more free than the abolishment of states, and autonomous communes? Free association of individuals. Put down the propaganda and educate yourself. And no response to Smedley Butler calling out the corruption between capitalists and politicians huh? He never received a corporate donation. Just a standard salary. The most highly decorated military officer of his time didn’t profit like Trump claims military officials do.

  6865. Two things. Bernie is falsely branding himself a revolutionary and socialist. He should have proudly call himself and his platform social democratic. Not only is the rhetoric more palpable but it by terminology calls for a Democratic platform and party reform concerned with social reform. He should make clear it’s all akin to Nordic Social Democracy, and Western European Social Market politics. But most importantly connect to the American past and emphasize political connection to FDR, New Deal Coalition, and Social liberalism. Finally it’s obviously cause I’m an actual socialist but... we need to start an actual Democratic Socialist party not seen since Debs. Reform is nice but take on these two bourgeois capitalist parties. A platform of real market socialism and decentralized planning, with leftist libertarian leaning principles.

  6868. The thing I don’t like seeing from progressives is they clearly only have electoral aspirations. It’s the end all for progressives. Whereas a libertarian socialist like Chomsky knows its direct action and popular assembly that actually brings change. His only reason for voting Biden is deceleration of the world and social breakdown of the country under more years of Republican “governance.” He’s not saying voting Biden is the answer, but that it’s a utilitarian issue to get Trump out and push the Democrats for real change outside of political action through a mass popular movement and taking direct action outside the State.

  6871.  @waltergrace565  the problem with Republicans is they aren’t even conservatives, they’re reactionary extremists. People like De Santis aren’t actually ideologues, they’re careerists that will take advantage of uneducated constituents by fear mongering and blaming everyone for their poverty except the business elites. DeSantis isn’t a conservative, he’s not even an ideological reactionary, he just wants power. If here were from a blue state he’d be pretending to be a liberal. Actual Traditionalism is Burke, Adams, Hamilton, Goldwater. Social conservatism is a disease that has put classical conservatism on the fringes. They’re authoritarian and theocrats that want to destroy liberal society and force everyone to live in accordance with their specific morals. Then you have the economic libertarians who only care for profits. This is why the Republican Party is majority grifters with no real conservatives policy or rhetoric. It’s all just contradictory contrarian talking points and fabrications to maintain power for greed’s sake. American traditionalists need to expel all social conservatives, extremists, and unethical politicians and reform the conservative movement. “The big thing is to make this country, along with every other country in the world with a few exceptions, quit discriminating against people just because they're gay. You don't have to agree with it, but they have a constitutional right to be gay. And that's what brings me into it." “Gays and lesbians are a part of every American family. They should not be shortchanged in their efforts to better their lives and serve their communities. As President Clinton likes to say, ‘If you work hard and play by the rules, you’ll be rewarded’ and not with a pink slip just for being gay.” "The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C' and 'D.' Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism.' " "Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them." — Quotes from Mr. Conservative; Barry Goldwater

  6875. Smiling Shadow Considering Africans built pyramids, the structure that is ruins in Timbuktu etc... it’s nonsense to think Africans or other “primitive” peoples like indigenous Americans would have remained primitive. Their lands were full of the wealthiest natural resources and civilizations would have used it to their advantages. I think the history of colonialism left a mark on these lands and peoples. Their nations are now underdeveloped or developing because they have a late start to reach the development of industrialized nations. And their resources were used for other nations instead of their wealth. And as always corruption and foreign influence still have their hand in slowing progress. Europeans broke the mold thanks to, Hellenistic Civilization, Roman Empire, the Age of Enlightenment and such, but the superiority complex that came with Christianity and racial ideologies fucked much of the world over. It’s a shame they couldn’t have been more tolerant and Christian towards the conquered, but such is history. I stand however that nothing suggests that Africans or indigenous Mesoamericans wouldn’t have developed modern civilizations of their own had they remained on their own. Africans were capable of building monuments and using their wealth as seen by Mansa Musa. And indigenous peoples of the Americas built their own monuments and were learned in astrology, mathematics etc... Europeans shaped the western world with their advances but others were just as capable.

Even liberals like Washington had authoritarian tendencies. Also Fascists didn’t want socialism which was an internationalist movement to eradicate borders and unite the working classes. Fascism is nationalism and promotes nation-states. Mussolini was a Marxist until he abandoned it for a new post-modern political ideology in Fascism. A form of nationalism that promotes an authoritarian Corporatism. The financing of Fascist regimes came from the business elites because Fascists promised to protect private property from Communism. The word “privatization” was first used by the Nazis to encapsulate their economic policies

  6879.  @yourdaddy-mq4km Antifa don’t support an elite in a power struggle with other elites so they’re fascists? Antifa are anarchists, their political views are clear. Anarchists are against economic and political elites, they see right through culture war BS from the authoritarian right. It’s the same Hitler playbook of “kulturkampf” or culture war. Right wing extremists blame a cultural elite and perceived enemies to galvanize a movement towards autocracy and new elite rule. Usually for the interest of corporate elites.

  6880.  @Peregrinatio52 what history are you learning? Catholics helped the Nazis, and aided their escape. Hitler and Mussolini made Christianity the official State religion as they saw Christianity as instrumental to the national identity they were “protecting.” Nazis carried crosses and held anti-Semitic views. The minority of Germans were Christians or several denominations including Catholics. Christians weren’t the persecuted group in Nazi Germany, they were the majority. Hitler did however attempt to synthesize the Church with pagan rituals he felt were more ancient and traditional to Germanic people.

  6891. Ant Man I’m not saying any that. There are other reasons when it comes to colonialism, racism, and slavery. But Christianity is also in there. To be frank I’m not attacking the religion here, my parents are still Christian and decent people. What I’m pointing out is the hypocrisy of nations being “Christian “ when they clearly didn’t behave like it. Claiming America was a Christian nation makes the religion not look good. If the Christian God were real there is not a single period in American history it’ll look upon the nation and smile. Exposing fake Christianity, is actually beneficial for the faith. Anyone claiming America has ever live up to Christianity and it’s mores are idiots.
    1
  6892. Ant Man none. Definitely not any European empire, definitely not America. Religion is just another tool to expand agendas and dull the senses when it comes to those in power. These nations that championed ideals of racism, and instituted chattel slavery were not Christian. They weren’t very Christ like, which is the important facet of Christianity, being like Christ. That’s a legitimate criticism of the reality of history, true Christianity was no where to be found for centuries among the “Christian” nations and empires. Forget those in power. It’s the individual people that believed their superiority complex and went along with delusions of grandeur, treating the Other as less than human. People forsook their scriptures and teachings for their own agendas and biases. Anyone claiming America was founded upon Christian values and has been a Christian nation needs to look at 400 years of slavery and subsequent segregation to realize that’s the biggest bullshit they ever heard.

  6895. Johnathon Haney Actually I think it’s just bad writing and not an attempt to subvert tropes. I mean subverting tropes does not equal good storytelling when it undermines entire character story arcs. Subverting expectations must have a purpose and befit the story being told. The Walker’s, Bran’s, Jon’s and Arya’s specifically. As for prophecies, yes they’re bullshit. We see it with fanatic Christians supporting a crazy Israeli government so that Jesus can return and slaughter the collective Jews in Israel. On the way they commit crimes against humanity. But that’s just what zealotry and prophecy can do.

  6896. Johnathon Haney lol what fault is this of GRRM for not finishing the books? His storytelling is still decent. D&D shouldn’t need the crutch, they are supposed to be able to tell stories it’s what they do. D&D well... one of them gave us X-Men Origins and mouthless Deadpool. I think we can see who’s writing isn’t up to par. As for this “hate train.” Well people have had criticisms for years now. It’s one thing to criticize in good faith and being fundamentally disappointed at seeing something you enjoyed go out with a spark, and another thing to bitch and moan because feminism and “the story isn’t doing what I want!” Yes there are those people too.
    1
  6897. Johnathon Haney yeah cause GRRM gave them the story beats and big plot points of how his story will end and how the remaining character arcs are ending up. It’s also true that D&D have no excuse for sloppy storytelling. It’s on no one but them, they have the guidelines and it’s up to them to create a narrative they can tell with where the show has been going. They should be able to work out a narrative with what they know and what they have, but ultimately fatigue and burn out has taken over. They’re going through what remains of story with as much nuance as a CW show. Ultimately I thank them for trying and giving us the show in the first place, doesn’t mean I can’t see that they’re not the best of storytellers.

  6901. m. rude lol spoken like an ignorant Capitalist boot licker. Afraid that the history you’ve been indoctrinated is bullshit. Keep believing freedom is working for the profits of others you fuck boy. Educate yourself cause no one is going to do it for you. Market anarchists believe in Market exchange, not in economic privilege. they believe in free markets, not in capitalism. What makes them anarchists is their belief in a fully free and consensual society – a society in which order is achieved not through legal force or political government, but through free agreements and voluntary cooperation on a basis of equality. What makes them market anarchists is their recognition of free market exchange as a vital medium for peacefully anarchic social order. But the markets they envision are not like the privilege-riddled “markets” we see around us today. Markets laboring under government and capitalism are pervaded by persistent poverty, ecological destruction, radical inequalities of wealth, and concentrated power in the hands of corporations, bosses, and landlords. The consensus view is that exploitation – whether of human beings or of nature – is simply the natural result of markets left unleashed. The consensus view holds that private property, competitive pressure, and the profit motive must – whether for good or for ill – inevitably lead to capitalistic wage labor, to the concentration of wealth and social power in the hands of a select class, or to business practices based on growth at all costs and the devil take the hindmost. Market anarchists dissent. They argue that economic privilege is a real and pervasive social problem, but that the problem is not a problem of private property, competition, or profits per se. It is not a problem of the market form but of markets deformed – deformed by the long shadow of historical injustices and the ongoing, continuous exercise of legal privilege on behalf of capital. The market anarchist tradition is radically pro-market and anticapitalist – reflecting its consistent concern with the deeply political character of corporate power, the dependence of economic elites on the tolerance or active support of the state, the permeable barriers between political and economic elites, and the cultural embeddedness of hierarchies established and maintained by state-perpetrated and state-sanctioned violence.

Just look at the Communist countries which are by degrees left wing economically but very socially conservative and even at times right wing nationalistic like China controlling population birth rates and trying to force Muslims to assimilate to Chinese culture.

  6947.  @derek9783  free market and capitalism aren’t compatible. Look up Benjamin Tucker, Josiah Warren, Lysander Spooner, John Stuart Mill, Thomas Hodgskin. All this time you’re going about authoritarianism when socialist goals are literally the abolition of class and state. Meanwhile capitalism and its form of private property (exclusionary and landlordism) necessitates government. Classical political economists were against capitalism, literally wrote against it. It wasn’t until the neoclassical Marginalists that economists began equating land with capital.
    1
  6948.  @derek9783  again as an Anarchist you are completely devoid of historical knowledge. If socialism is authoritarian fundamentally and not capitalism then why is Anarchism, the most radical anti-authority ideology historically socialist and anti-capitalist. Why was anti-government politics and libertarianism founded amongst socialists? The father of Anarchism was the socialist Pierre J Proudhon, and the term “libertarian” is credited to the anti-authoritarian communist Joseph Dejacque. If what you claim is true then why does history say different? Why did George Orwell advocate socialism and opposed capitalism, even as his very name became synonymous with opposition to totalitarianism and any authoritarian regime is called Orwellian. A figure remembered for staunch anti-authoritarian ideals was a socialist who said: “ And the only regime which, in the long run, will dare to permit freedom of speech is a Socialist regime. If Fascism triumphs I am finished as a writer – that is to say, finished in my only effective capacity. That in itself would be a sufficient reason for joining a Socialist party. …I believe the I.L.P. is the only party which, as a party, is likely to take the right line either against Imperialist war or against Fascism when this appears in its British form. And meanwhile the I.L.P. is not backed by any monied interest, and is systematically libelled from several quarters. Obviously it needs all the help it can get, including any help I can give it myself. Finally, I was with the I.L.P. contingent in Spain. I never pretended, then or since, to agree in every detail with the policy the P.O.U.M. put forward and the I.L.P. supported, but the general course of events has borne it out. The things I saw in Spain brought home to me the fatal danger of mere negative ‘anti-Fascism’. Once I had grasped the essentials of the situation in Spain I realised that the I.L.P. was the only British party I felt like joining – and also the only party I could join with at least the certainty that I would never be led up the garden path in the name of Capitalist democracy.”

Debates aren’t meant to compare policies, nor really, it’s who’s the better performer. But anyway Biden’s performance was indicative of his health and mental state which doesn’t bode well. How come this atrocious performance allows someone to still be contender for governing a country when that same performance would have rejected you from any other job interview? There’s higher standards for a maintenance job than there is the presidency.

  6966. @Eli Ubaldo Affirming trans identities means affirming all identities. A cisgender individual can be confident in their gender once they can know that they had every freedom to be otherwise. Having options that aren’t for you takes nothing away from the one that is. And any new guidelines against misgendering would not only protect trans children, it would protect cis boys from stereotypical PE teachers, misgendering them in a misogynistic way for not running fast enough. The final authority on an LGBTQIA child’s identity is the child themself. However much censorship and restrictions in autonomy may advertise themselves as about “protecting the children,” they are clearly about protecting adults from their own anxieties. However much differential there may be in judgment capacity, a child is their own person with their own rights that cannot be overridden for the sake of an adult’s aesthetic preferences. Parents, such as myself, have rights as persons but, with respect to our children, we have duties instead. Abridging our parental autonomy for a yet more distant authority would also be bad – laws and provisions preventing parents, children, and physicians from pursuing hormone blockers or medical transition for minors for instance. But this isn’t a matter of parental rights, it’s a matter of parental autonomy being instrumental to children’s rights. Taking children from parents they wish to remain with violates their preferences and in this case, it would also violate their preference in favor of medical transition. One of our duties is to protect the rights of our children and the first step in protecting rights is to not violate them yourself. The regime being put forward by anti-LGBTQIA forces is not even one of respecting parental autonomy. It’s just one of conservative governments and conservative parents having special privileges to force their will upon LGBTQIA children. Abusive parents and governments can be partners in crime, such as when law enforcement brings runaway children back to their abusive homes. People who wish to bully queers out of public view or out of existence should not be humored, they shouldn’t even be given an inch. Society has a ways to go before all beings are equally free and these traditionalists cannot be allowed to rob that of us, much less create a darker future of oppression and spiraling authoritarianism.

  6988.  @YoureRightIThink  as someone who’s been to Latin American schools they’re taught that there are 5 continents. A convenient is a large land mass. They’re taught Eurasia, Africa, Oceania, Antarctica and the Americas. I understand this is also the recognized geography in parts of Europe. USA for some reason teaches 7 continents but this is political. Geographers are pushing for a more accurate picture. The reason United States call themselves American is because the US as a country has more of a designation as a Federation rather than one country. Technically the original vision was each State were it’s own nation-state and they form a larger Federation, but as history developed they came to identify as one country and one nation. Acknowledging their place in the Americas the Republic of Republics was simply called the United States of America, and so the designation of American for short. But the reality is everyone of the continent are Americans, and other nations also have “of America” in their names. Such as Mexico. Politics sort of just screwed with the original concept of an American Federation of a nation of nations, and a Federation of states rather than one state or national identity. The early founding fathers did not refer to themselves as American, but as Virginian, New Yorker, Carolinian etc…

  6998. Derrick Bell Why does every resort to emotion these days? Ojeda has a record of voting Republican, yet he supported Sanders and ran as a Democrat. Likely due to where he is from, and Republican candidates supporting the coal workers of his community has much to do as to why he has supported Republicans. Though he himself is more a progressive politically. Tulsi Gabbard isn’t as progressive as I’d like but she is progressive on certain issues I agree with. Her spotty past remarks and positions don’t look good. But I am also taking into account where she stands now, her domestic policy is great, she also gets political points for going against the establishment and supporting Bernie Sanders who is more progressive than her. Elizabeth Warren may be decent in her progressive stances but she feels too easily manipulated by the establishment of neoliberals and their corporate donors. As you can see politics are more nuanced than just supporting parties and standard media propaganda. Of the candidate list so far Ojeda would be my first pick and then Tulsi. Until of course Bernie announces his candidacy, if he does.

  7012.  @regislafrance3667  the fact that anarchism was birthed as the anti-statist wing of socialism. The historical record. Whatever you want to call it. In the 19th century anarchism was born from socialism. Pierre J Proudhon a free market anarchist/ market socialist was the first to call himself and ideal Anarchist. And the fellow French Anarcho-Communist Joseph Dejacque is credited with popularizing the term “libertarian” and had the first anarchist newspaper in America with “Le Libertaire” Anarchism is anti-capitalist since it’s inception. Right wing capitalist enthusiasts calling themselves libertarians, and anarchists (Anarcho-capitalism) is a 20th century phenomena of the 1950s. Even their founder, Murray Rothbard has said so. “We must therefore conclude that we are not anarchists, and that those who call us anarchists are not on firm etymological ground, and are being completely unhistorical." - Rothbard And what the hell are you on about. Anarchists are radical egoists. They want market socialism or communism because they want individuals to flourish without hierarchies like capitalism. They want the maximum output of egos to express their abilities, talents, and skills without being held back by hierarchies. Read the poem “Soul of Man Under Socialism” by Oscar Wilde. Even if one supports free markets, that is not incompatible with socialism, as we have a radical strain of free market anarchism. Who put capitalists to shame because they don’t believe in any state or hierarchy, just libertarian markets, which would be socialist, free from the hierarchy of capitalism (property owners).

  7015. Nicholas Olesen the difference is one is anarchist the other is Marxist. Marxism is responsible for most Statist Socialism, meaning using the government to implement and sustain a revolution. Can be democratic or Leninist. Anarchists seek the abolishment of State and all hierarchic social relations for a free society of free associations and federation. The State is seen as anathema to the socialist social revolution of popular assembly. Also welfare state while a band aid isn’t a solution to capitalism. In fact the first modern welfare state was Bismarck’s successful attempt to stop socialist uprising. Welfare is a temporary balm to temper anger towards capitalism, and then roll back when the capitalist ruling class feel it safe enough. This is why social democratic parties, which used to be Marxist in origin, were deemed a failure. All they did was compromise for social welfare while keeping the exploitative system. There is no socialism without the end of private ownership of the means of production and wage labor. The only solution is free worker’s associations, and socialized means of production. Not government assistance. Or as Proudhon put it: “Under the law of association, transmission of wealth does not apply to the instruments of labour, so cannot become a cause of inequality. [...] We are socialists [...] under universal association, ownership of the land and of the instruments of labour is social ownership. [...] We want the mines, canals, railways handed over to democratically organised workers' associations. [...] We want these associations to be models for agriculture, industry and trade, the pioneering core of that vast federation of companies and societies, joined together in the common bond of the democratic and social Republic.” Anarchists believe this can only be done by popular assembly and direct worker’s association. Marxists believe in a socialist labor government to achieve and protect socialism.

  7016. Connor Mack as much as all revolutions had. Or what did the liberal revolution America not lead to expansion west, systemic murder of indigenous nations, and extension of slavery trade? Or the bloody French Revolution. People actually act like socialist revolutions are a special type of violent. It’s no less violent than any other revolutionary period and social unrest in any instance in history. The very reason Marx believed bloody revolution will come is because as in his analysis of history, the change of society always leads to destruction of the old through struggle and conflict. The problem with Leninists is not socialism, it is Statism
    1
  7017. Connor Mack that would come to a surprise to the founders of socialism. In “What is Government” the first figure to call libertarian socialism “anarchy” Proudhon said: “To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be place[d] under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.” Socialists are the only political theorists that ever called for the abolishment of States. Not capitalists. It is because they sought a world of voluntary association, of self-governance not of government. The belief that all socialism agrees with Leninist Bolshevism is but propaganda for capitalists to prevent industrial democracy. Considering Socialists came from radical liberal and revolutionary factions.

  7018. Connor Mack as I said the problem wasn’t Socialism, it was Statism. Progressives do want a Welfare State but that is not even socialism. The USSR at least did a form of socialization via nationalization of industry. And yeah there are even democratic socialists that are anti-centralization. And recognize welfarism as just a ploy to maintain capitalism.

  7019. MarshallJukov I know Lenin’s reasons for his Blanquist politics. But it wasn’t successful, nor did it inspire global proletariat revolution. Not in industrialized nations where it mattered. Lenin’s revolution was a failure, because it wasn’t a social revolution, it was a party revolution. He was left in his deathbed wondering where it went wrong. He still did not realized it was his own departure from orthodox Marxism, and lack of understanding that socialism is a matter of the masses, not a few would be leaders. In this Rosa Luxemburg’s criticisms of Lenin still are poignant today. Leninism doesn’t even end wage labor or issues proper labor value wages system. That’s enough to condemn these regimes. Never got pass that capitalist stage.

  7020. MarshallJukov tell that to Kronstadt and the other socialist factions whether they felt the Bolsheviks were their representatives.

  7021. MarshallJukov Factions like the Mensheviks, the Democratic Socialists, there were other parties. The Russian Social Democratic Labor Party, the Socialist Revolutionary Party etc... Lenin and the Bolsheviks lost their election and so they decided the Bolsheviks should just grab the government . The replacement of working class power by party power flows logically both from the nature of the state and from the vanguardism at the heart of Leninism. The state, by its very nature, empowers those at its centre and so automatically replaces popular power with power in the hands of a few party leaders. And if the party is the decisive factor in a “successful” revolution than anything that weakens its hold on power cannot but harm the revolution. Including working class democracy. As Trotsky put it in 1936, the “revolutionary dictatorship of a proletarian party is . . . an objective necessity” and the “revolutionary party (vanguard) which renounces its own dictatorship surrenders the masses to the counter-revolution” Which shows the limitations of Marxism and its confusions about the state. For the Marxist Gluckstein, the Paris Commune “inextricably linked change from below and the state” and “Parisian direct democracy made the masses part of the state, and the state part of the masses.” He suggests that Marx synthesised Proudhonism and Blanquism, that Marx’s contribution was to “synthesise their insights” If “Proudhonism” stressed action from below then Blanquism stresses action from above, by the state, for they recognised the need for “socialist organisation to overcome their capitalist opponents” Thus the Commune shows that “discipline under a centralised command was absolutely vital to mould a fighting force out of the workers of Paris. This was not an optional extra.” It is cryptically noted that “in time the Commune's open, direct democracy would have selected more effective leaders form their midst, but it did not survive long enough for this to occur.” Does this not imply that, when push comes to shove, the “revolutionary party” will simply appoint “more effective leaders” from above? This is precisely what the Bolshevik did do. In 1905, Lenin mocked the Mensheviks for only wanting “pressure from below” which was “pressure by the citizens on the revolutionary government.” Instead, he argued for “pressure . . . from above as well as from below,” where “pressure from above” was “pressure by the revolutionary government on the citizens.” He noted that Engels “appreciated the importance of action from above” and that he saw the need for “the utilisation of the revolutionary governmental power.” Lenin summarised his position (which he considered as being in line with orthodox Marxism): “Limitation, in principle, of revolutionary action to pressure from below and renunciation of pressure also from above is anarchism.” Given that Lenin had rejected the idea of “only from below” as an anarchist principle (which it is), we need to bear in mind that Leninist calls for “democracy from below” are always placed in the context of a Leninist government. Lenin always stressed that the Bolsheviks would “take over full state power,” that they “can and must take state power into their own hands.” Leninist “democracy from below” always means representative government, not popular power or self-management. So in 1918 it was the concrete situation of a "revolutionary" government exercising power "from above" onto the very class it claimed to represent. As Lenin summarised to his political police, the Cheka, in 1920: “Without revolutionary coercion directed against the avowed enemies of the workers and peasants, it is impossible to break down the resistance of these exploiters. On the other hand, revolutionary coercion is bound to be employed towards the wavering and unstable elements among the masses themselves.” Which is precisely why anarchists reject socialism “from above” in favour of one created “from below.” In the state, it is always the leaders at the top who have power, not the masses. Few revolutionary anarchists deny the need for self-discipline and the need to co-ordinate revolutionary struggle and defence. From Bakunin on, it was considered a truism that there was a need to federate revolutionary forces to defeat reaction. What we recognise is that giving power to a few leaders is a fatal mistake, that they will implement what they consider as “socialism” and override the creative actions from below so necessary to the success of a revolution and the building of socialism. As history shows, “from below” and “from above” cannot be combined. The latter will always undermine the former simply because that was what it was designed to do!

  7022. MarshallJukov Ultimately, one is left with the feeling that for all their talk of mass participation the M-L sympathies rest with the Blanquists and their vision of a centralised revolution conducted by professional revolutionaries who knew what they wanted (“Solid organisation and clear leadership were distinguishing features of Blanquism” This can be seen from M-L less than critical account of Blanqui’s politics. Given the obvious similarities of Leninism to Blanquism this is not unsurprising as any systematic critique of the latter would be applicable to the former. For example, M-L Gluckstein quotes Blanqui's opinion that socialist consciousness has to injected into the working class by “an elite minority” of the bourgeoisie and that the revolution's “soldiers are workers though the leaders are not.” The parallels with Lenin’s arguments in “What is to be Done?” are obvious. Then there is Blanqui’s belief, quoted by Gluckstein, “that workers would need to be educated into communism over a period of time because 'the working class, accustomed to the yoke by long years or oppression and misery [is led] by their masters like blind beasts'” Or, as Lenin argued in 1920, “the dictatorship of the proletariat cannot be exercised through an organisation embracing the whole of the class, because in all capitalist countries (and not only over here, in one of the most backward) the proletariat is still so divided, so degraded, and so corrupted in parts . . . that an organisation taking in the whole proletariat cannot directly exercise proletarian dictatorship. It can be exercised only by a vanguard . . . Such is the basic mechanism of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and the essentials of transitions from capitalism to communism . . . for the dictatorship of the proletariat cannot be exercised by a mass proletarian organisation.” Gluckstein does present some criticism of Blanquism, namely that it was conspiratorial and so could not play the role Blanqui hoped for it. Thus the Blanquists “came closest to having a revolutionary party” but were “not linked organically to the wider movement through daily participation”, “debating and battling for leadership” and so did not have “an instant mass following.” Which meant their hopes for seizing power were impossible to put into practice as they lacked mass support – or even awareness that they even existed or that their insurrections were taking place. While he lambasts Proudhon for ideas he (mostly) did not actually hold, Gluckstein simply presents the ideas of Blanqui. It is significant that his criticism of Blanqui is so mooted (much the same could be said of Marx). He states that the Proudhonists and Blanquists have “no direct modern descendants” but “archetypes of tendencies in our movement” but, obviously, this is not the case. The “left-Proudhonists” (i.e., collectivists) have descendants in the anarchist movement while the Blanquists, bar their secrecy, are the Trotskyists.

  7047. Eric Lol the election of Lincoln and Republicans was the first time American school could be implemented at a large scale. In many ways the election of Lincoln was the movement to end slavery as an economic institution and the full adoption of capitalism and industrialization in the US. Lincoln’s party was of the bourgeois capitalists and industrialists that believed in the capitalist brand of market economics and free labor. They thought the South a backwater culture stuck in old ways. It also goes to show that industrial capitalism has always had the hand of government in it. No such thing has existed as a “free market”

Saager isn’t against market capitalism, but would resolve international trading issues via protectionism. Also would be okay with government assistance of domestic economic issues. So yay for domestic free trading, nay for foreign free trade that hurts American industrialization and jobs. He isn’t a reverse Keynesian (supply side trickle down) and seems opened to proper Keynesianism at some level. Also isn’t against social programs but thinks they can be better implemented. Saager feels animosity towards the economic liberalization brought on by Chicago School legislation and how it has hollowed the American middle class and capitalists are more concerned for doing business with China than bolstering the American economy. All in all I’d say he is an economic populist via economic nationalism, but not a full government takeover of economic issues.

  7049. Eric yeah but the Confederacy wanted to maintain their economic institution that relied on slave labor. And they were State’s Rights because it was the best protection from a Federal government that could push the end of their reliance on slavery as it became the dominion of neo-Federalists. The political centralization of the Republicans was on par with how capitalism developed during the Industrial Age. I think the Confederates were well within their rights to secede, though I hate slavery obviously. I agree with Spooner’s assessment that slavery wasn’t the issue for Republicans, and that they forced the Southern States to remain under a government they no longer felt serve them. Shattering the illusion of federalism and that American federalism was always a farce in it’s chimeric conception by Federalists. He also said slavery was unconstitutional and made the most impressive reasoning of why it was unconstitutional on legal grounds despite what the constitution may have seemingly implied about black Americans. He also supported John Browns crazy rebellion which was cool. To an anarchist like Spooner neither the Republican Unionists or Southern Confederates were fighters for liberty, but he was a great libertarian insight on the Civil War issue, and a staunch abolitionist. Just remember that capitalism is sustained by political centralization so that capitalists may implement their brand of economic liberalism. Hamilton was the father of American capitalism. He just wasn’t for free trade, at least not until the nascent American nation were wealthy enough that growth would require. His protectionism was to build the economy of a young new country with no credit on the global commercial markets.

  7050. Eric regardless I think we both agree that the centralization of Lincoln’s GOP has not ceased and ultimately we live in Hamilton’s America. The Federal has concentrated powers and it’s now the practice of both parties.

  7051. Eric capitalism is the socioeconomic system of private property, wage labor, and capital accumulation. It is maintained by a capitalist state that creates policy and legislation in favor of the capital owning ruling interest. Free market is an an economic doctrine favoring liberal policy on economics via limited or no government involvement and free trade and commerce.
    1
  7052. Eric why are you telling me? I was saying what Saager believes. That Free Trade has sold out the American middles class for corporate business with the State Capitalist Chinese government. I support not capitalism but free market anarchism as a libertarian socialist. I’m not into that capitalist defending Mises Austrian garbage. What Kevin Carson calls “vulgar libertarianism.” Though certain Austrian conceptions are alright when it’s about libertine markets. I’m into Center 4 A Stateless Society and free market anarchism

  7057. censored girl I agree people calling Trump fascist have no idea what Fascism is. But Trump does have authoritarian tendencies, don’t have to be a Fascist to be authoritarian. Trump is a kakistocrat and a kleptocrat. The Republican Party isn’t a Conservative party, it is an authoritarian cult of religious fundamentalists, conspiracists, far right bigots, and corporate oligarchs. It’s a regressive anti-American organization with no sense of patriotism. An American conservative isn’t an authoritarian, but preserves traditional institutions, and liberal society. Actual genuine conservatives say this themselves. From Conservative Political Scientists Norman Ornstein and Thomas Mann in “Finding the Common Good in an Era of Dysfunctional Governance”: “The framers designed a constitutional system in which the government would play a vigorous role in securing the liberty and well-being of a large and diverse population. They built a political system around a number of key elements, including debate and deliberation, divided powers competing with one another, regular order in the legislative process, and avenues to limit and punish corruption. America in recent years has struggled to adhere to each of these principles, leading to a crisis of governability and legitimacy. The roots of this problem are twofold. The first is a serious mismatch between our political parties, which have become as polarized and vehemently adversarial as parliamentary parties, and a separation-of-powers governing system that makes it extremely difficult for majorities to act. The second is the asymmetric character of the polarization. The Republican Party has become a radical insurgency – ideologically extreme, scornful of facts and compromise, and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition. Securing the common good in the face of these developments will require structural changes but also an informed and strategically focused citizenry.”

  7065. Shydawg hanbowski Marxist-Leninism hasn’t worked. Libertarian Socialists did alright until Fascists and Soviets got rid of them.
    1
  7066. Shydawg hanbowski There are many problems with your assessment. Permit me to correct your misconceptions. Nazis weren’t Socialists at all. Hitler called the party National Socialist, but he always made clear his hatred of the Bolsheviks, Communism, and Socialism. He always said to him Socialism means the collective society working towards the goals and ambitions of the State. Fascists are Corporative. In fact Hitler would later say he wished he had called the party National Revolutionary instead. The Soviets were Marxist-Leninist. This is one strain of Socialism informed by Lenin’s revolutionary politics and interpretation of Marxist thought. Lenin’s ideas included rule of the Vanguard Party, the elitist bureaucrats leading the worker’s, and an authoritarian top-bottom organization called Democratic Centrism. His ideas were always criticized by other Socialists who thought him too authoritarian, most notably Rosa Luxembourg. Socialism advocates social or worker’s ownership of the factors of production and a post-Capitalist classless socioeconomic system. Socialism isn’t opposed to markets depending on the school, but are against Capitalism. That is private ownership of the factors of production, wage labor, commodity production, profit interest etc... And not all Socialism advocates State control, Marxism does. Marx called for the worker’s to take over the State and develop a Socialist worker’s State. This didn’t mean it had to be a dictatorship or authoritarian. Indeed the only revolution to have Marx’s stamp of approval was the Paris Commune and that was a highly bottom-up worker’s democracy. As for Communism, it is one form of Socialism where there is Stateless, classless, and moneyless society and there is common ownership of the means and distribution. It has not been achieved by Marxist-Leninists. Anarchists came close. The progressives of today aren’t much different from Modern Liberals of the past in FDR’s days. They want reforms and regulations but aren’t looking beyond Capitalism. They aren’t Socialist really though they think they are. In truth they want to preserve Capitalism as FDR did. Social Democrats of the Nordic Countries have robust middle classes and successful Capitalists. That’s the model they want. They aren’t Socialists. Due to Marxist-Leninism everyone has this misconception about Socialism that it’s all State control, government doing things, social programs, authoritarianism etc.... Nope that was one Socialist strain it did not encompass all of Socialism. Socialism doesn’t need the State or government, it can be democratic and at it’s most extreme anarchist.

I find it hard press to believe Jesus would agree with the xenophobic tendencies of how conservatives deal with immigration. There are people that are Christians, read the Bible, and find it compatible with left-wing ideology hence the group called Christian-Socialists/Communists. That exists. Fun Fact: Francis Bellamy, writer of the American Pledge of Allegiance was a Christian Socialist. But he was also racist so.

  7075.  @zilchnilton  Nah Jesus said the only commandment left was "Love one another as I have loved you" and so the social justice and equality inherited from Jewish religion reformed in Jesus' teachings. As I already said the further left the more atheistic, and while I don't think of Jesus a God, he was an influential figure who's social and somewhat economic messages are compatible with left-wing ideology. As does Christian Socialists who hate the greed of Capitalism and refer to Scripture to explain why they are Socialists. Actually Anarchism and Socialism is about common ownership of the means of production, not the State ownership of Stalinism and Maoism. There are many Communist and Socialist schools of thought not all involve Stalin's totalitarian State. George Orwell who wrote the books on Big Brother, 1984, was a Democratic-Socialist, a real one not what Bernie names himself. It may be tempting to dismiss Marx’s analysis given that his communist vision failed in practice. However, the politics that developed in the Soviet Union were not part of Marx’s vision of a social structure. Besides, Marx thought true communism would develop only under certain conditions. “Marx predicted that for a communist revolution to survive, it would need to involve the countries with the most developed industries, and become at least as broadly international as the capitalist system it would replace." Neither of these conditions were met in the case of the Soviet Union, which was always highly economically isolated. Doubtful Marx would approve of such totalitarian states that give power and ownership to the State and not the workers.

Leftists do not believe in the social ruling over the individual, fascists and right wing nationalists are collectivists in that they want the group over individuals. That’s literally a core facet of Fascism. The Fasces, the collective is stronger than the individual.

And that party is either the Left: and then God help us! for it will lead us to complete destruction - to Bolshevism, or else it is a party of the Right which at the last, when the people is in utter despair, when it has lost all its spirit and has no longer any faith in anything, is determined for its part ruthlessly to seize the reins of power - that is the beginning of resistance of which I spoke a few minutes ago. Here, too, there can be no compromise - there are only two possibilities: either victory of the Aryan, or annihilation of the Aryan and the victory of the Jew. Munich - Speech of April 12, 1922

  7089. Jack Ban thank you I was literally going to respond with the same quotes. Everyone educated knows that to Fascists Socialism had nothing to do with left wing ideology and class conflict. Hitler himself raved about “taking Socialism back from The Communists.” Their ideal of Socialism is literally the society working towards the States interests. Completely antithetical to mainstream and traditional left wing Socialism.
    1
  7090. Potato Gaming Industry as Jack Ben responded Hitler had a completely different idea of what is Socialism. The society working towards the State interests. Socialism is about worker’s ownership of the means of production and class conflict. Whereas Fascists advocates class collaboration and private industry. Hitler persecuted Socialists and Communists. Hitler always talked the worst of Marxism. I thought conservatives believed Marxists to be the Jewish ideology destroying all they hold dear, as the Nazis proclaimed. How the hell was Hitler a Marxist when he persecuted and hated it as “Jewry” Please don’t do that, use facts and details.

  7091. French Flag Actually no. They lost to Fascists and Capitalists. Small commune militias aren’t that effective against standard militaries, and Capitalist interest of course can’t have workers freeing themselves. Such as in Catalonia where Franco backed by Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin won the Civil War. Anarcho-Communism is a Libertarian Socialist ideology. Nothing to do with Statism and Marxist-Leninism. Who did the Capitalists support? Franco. Who did the Anarchists/Socialists support? The Republican Liberals. And so George Orwell wrote “Homage to Catalonia” where he praised the most liberated society he ever witnessed. And the rest of his works focused on sniffing out and criticizing authoritarianism, and being a Socialist and laborer activist in native England. RIP comrade.

  7092. French Flag The French Commune was defeated by the forces of Napoleon III. The monarchy took back Paris. As for Rojava being a shit hole? Let’s see surrounded by Muslim extremists fighting all around, and the Anarchists holding their own community down best they can. Well it’s not their fault their neighbors don’t get along. Doesn’t it tell you something that they’re willing to fight for their free society? The region is polyethnic yet they all live for democratic principles and freedom. Oh and you’re not understanding Anarchism. We don’t want governments. Societies are at a municipal level. Free Associations of communities, with Socialist economies, worker’s councils, self-management, Democracy. Delegation, immediate recall of representatives, and for the larger organization decentralized federation of course. Those who founded the United States also understood larger communities are best broken into federal decentralization. Liberty, equality, solidarity. Like Liberals before the far left continues the dismantling of concentrations of wealth, power, and prestige. “No gods, no masters!” Liberals saw government as a necessary evil to always stay vigilant of, Libertarians go further to organizing autonomous societies without hierarchies. Like is standard of international communism, we believe a world of worker’s solidarity is possible.
    1
  7093. French Flag we don’t want a country. We want a world. Of course Anarchism will struggle to thrive in a Capitalist world with authoritarian governments. It’s why they don’t survive, the former regimes keep coming back. Throughout history there have been countless such societies. But thinking we need centralized powers, or hierarchies is just what you’re used to. Anarchist societies continue to prove communities can organize themselves effectively without dealing with authorities or anyone thinking they can be above anyone else. Catalonia was prospering and free. Humanity is capable of much more. It’s no more a fantasy than what the liberals thought possible in their days. If these small communities can do it, nothing suggests larger communities can freely associate. Historically the road to liberation has always been scoffed at. Autocrats ridiculed liberals, as libertarians are. Yet the movement of civilization is progress and liberation. You have your own reasons for believing in your current system, that doesn’t stop many to want a different social organization. Ultimately Libertarianism continues where Liberalism left off, and the struggle for liberation continues.

  7094. Nobody From Nowhere yeah no. Anarchism isn’t local tribalism. Anarchists believe in principles of solidarity, autonomy, free associations, democracy etc... Moving past archaic structures like nations, states, races etc... Humanity is one. I know it sounds far fetched, crazy Utopianism. But ultimately humanity is going to realize we’re a species. Like Marxist international communism, worker’s can find solidarity. Principles and values allowed Catalonia to work together and associate freely. Even in Rojava, Syria as they fight against religious extremists they have a society that looks towards gender equality, ethnic diversity, and freedom. It’s not perfect, it’s an ongoing struggle but it’s an ideology. We don’t look to create municipal decentralized societies to end up in tribalist beliefs like we’re in our primitive age. As Proudhon said “Anarchy is Order!” If anything these fucking authoritarian governments are destroying our world and creating chaos, acting like national tribalist for resources and power.

  7095. xkissofdeathtashax No left libertarian is saying that. We want the Social Democrats to stop calling themselves socialists. They aren’t post-Capitalists. They’re for reform and regulation, but stay with the Capitalist framework. They aren’t Socialists. And anyone saying they are are confused and believe Socialism is government intervention, instead of the post-Capitalists socioeconomic system it is. Hitler wasn’t Socialist. His own brand of Socialism, which he specifically branded as the “German Socialism” was basically society working towards the interests of the State. Whereas actual Socialism focuses on class conflict, post-capitalism, and worker’s radicalism and solidarity. Social Democracy stopped focusing on Marxist thought, and post-Capitalism. Ever since they broke away from the Socialist movement. They’re Capitalists.

It has created a working class under the boots of Capitalists. It has created socioeconomic elitism, and struck poverty upon the “have nots” Hell I’ll take Georgians over Capitalists. There’s an Anarchist system that would abolish Capitalism but maintain private aspects of the economy, it’s called Mutualism. And don’t use the “innovations” and “advanced tech” argument on me. It’s utter BS. The internet and computers we use that are privatized and purchased at markets. All that tech came from tax funded government and military programs. After decades of tax funded research we have the internet and computers, where finally private individuals were able to capitalize on it. What did we get?! The opportunity to purchase from companies what out taxes funded. Innovation and technology comes from people being free to work, and follow their abilities and creativity. It depends on where your resources are. Private interests have created sociopathic avarice. I always use this point. During the Irish Famine Capitalists could have alleviated the people’s starvation and misery. But Capitalists only act for profit and self interests. No money was to be made so the Irish migrated to America where a few Capitalized off Capitalism eventually, most lived the working class life accepting work for meager wages, being exploited. Democratize the workplace, to the worker’s the rewards of their production.

  7113.  @tomlxyz there are a rather minuscule ideological group of liberal economists that claim the New Deal worsened and elongated the Great Depression. And while they have interesting things to say and some complicated points, the general consensus is that Keynesianism has been instrumental in the building of the thriving middles classes of Western countries in the postwar period. The neoclassical synthesis (NCS), neoclassical–Keynesian synthesis, or just neo-Keynesianism was a neoclassical economics academic movement and paradigm in economics that worked towards reconciling the macroeconomic thought of John Maynard Keynes in his book The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (1936). It was formulated most notably by John Hicks (1937), Franco Modigliani (1944), and Paul Samuelson (1948), who dominated economics in the post-war period and formed the mainstream of macroeconomic thought in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Afterward the neoliberal backlash took the reigns of institutional influence and lead to the collapse of labor unions and strong domestic economy. The hallowing of the middle class began with the neoliberal doctrine taking hold of fiscal and economic policy on western nations for the globalization emphasis of corporate interests. It was made clear that Keynsian economics built the European social democracies and elevated the class status of the working and middle classes. Though there is also a conservative movement in Europe that supposed social democratic reforms in the form of Christian Democratic parties.

  7127. When we arm ourselves against fascists they won’t have any excuses. It’s time we arm our communities, have our own militias, and unify the working class. They’ll change their tune but even the Constitution is on our side. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. Return of the militant working class, syndicalism, and liberation movements. Do not stand idly as we remain oppressed. We won’t start violence, but we damn sure can defend ourselves.

  7130. Well classically liberalism has an emphasis on freedom above everything. However today liberalism is social liberalism, which emphasizes recognizing systemic hindrances to the liberalism of minorities or those of lesser socio-economic status. It's an attempt to be more equal of opportunity, providing society with safety nets, opportunity for education, for social mobility etc... So classically it's enough to have freedom, liberties, equality before the law. Modern social liberalism says that's not enough and a representative democracy should make the institutions in place provide equality where systemic hindrances are in place. Also note that classical liberalism also has a focus on freedom of the individual, social liberalism looks towards egalitarianism of the groups in a society, where they will be free from being underprivileged due to their lot in life. As best we can because for now at least it's not like we're getting rid of poverty completely anytime soon.

  7131.  @aquavitae3824  What an intellectually disingenuous comment. The further left the ideology the less dependence upon authoritative or coercive powers upon the individual. True Socialism, not to be confused with dictatorship, State control and command economies, would give people ownership of their labor and through democratic decision making organize, abolish private property, and supplant the State. It would be far more self-reliant than the laissez-faire system. Social liberalism endorses a market economy and the expansion of civil and political rights while also believing that the legitimate role of the government includes addressing economic and social issues such as poverty, health care and education. Under social liberalism, the good of the community is viewed as harmonious with the freedom of the individual. Therefore the ideal political organization to input these ideals is Social Democracy. We see this among Nordic nations and they really aren't suffering from lack of liberties or freedoms. Right wing libertarianism is a bastardization of the original left wing libertarianism, synonymous with anti-capitalism and anti-authority among socialist groups.

  7162.  @Ghost_of_the_Mountain  agreed that I was using hyperbole. What you listed are activist activities yes and I support it wholeheartedly. But direct action is mutual aid and dual power. General strikes and not relying on politicians. I’m not saying progressives are wrong, just that they may have too much reliance in a political system that is about others ruling in your stead. The progressives in Congress have enough leverage in their numbers to disrupt the establishment agenda, and they do nothing. Clearly they’re concerned about being elected again instead of doing all they can to disrupt the establishment. A also think progressives rely too much on government solutions like welfare state instead of looking for alternatives to limit the State that is the source of problems. They would tax the income of workers instead of limiting taxes to an LVT on land rent, eliminating other taxes, and providing public infrastructure and UBI paid by the LVT of landlords. I can not as a libertarian socialist support the social democratic solutions of progressives. It is simply Keynesian capitalist economics which all in all serves to prolong the status quo. I’ll just point to this quote from Benito Mussolini: “Fascism entirely agrees with Mr. Maynard Keynes, despite the latter’s prominent position as a Liberal. In fact, Mr. Keynes’ excellent little book, The End of Laissez-Faire (1929) might, so far as it goes, serve as a useful introduction to fascist economics. There is scarcely anything to object to in it and there is much to applaud.”

  7165.  @maxkronader5225  Mao and Stalin were right wing you idiot. They administrated a centralized government. It’s always capitalists that want to throw all socialism under the umbrella of Marxist-Leninism and State Socialism. Nice try though. George Orwell was a Democratic Socialist and said this of the Soviets he referred to as “Communists.” “the Communists stood not upon the extreme Left, but upon the extreme right. In reality this should come as no surprise, because the tactics of the Communist parties elsewhere.” George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia This experience of fighting alongside socialist idealists and against Stalinist backed Communist party, only strengthened his belief in democratic socialism. Or how about a real advocate of Liberty, the Individualist Free Market Anarchist Benjamin Tucker: “Probably no agitation has ever attained the magnitude, either in the number of its recruits or the area of its influence, which has been attained by Modern Socialism, and at the same time been so little understood and so misunderstood, not only by the hostile and the indifferent, but by the friendly, and even by the great mass of its adherents themselves. This unfortunate and highly dangerous state of things is due partly to the fact that the human relationships which this movement—if anything so chaotic can be called a movement—aims to transform, involve no special class or classes, but literally all mankind; partly to the fact that these relationships are infinitely more varied and complex in their nature than those with which any special reform has ever been called upon to deal; and partly to the fact that the great moulding forces of society, the channels of information and enlightenment, are well-nigh exclusively under the control of those whose immediate pecuniary interests are antagonistic to the bottom claim of Socialism that labor should be put in possession of its own. Almost the only persons who may be said to comprehend even approximately the significance, principles, and purposes of Socialism are the chief leaders of the extreme wings of the Socialistic forces, and perhaps a few of the money kings themselves. It is a subject of which it has lately become quite the fashion for preacher, professor, and penny-a-liner to treat, and, for the most part, woeful work they have made with it, exciting the derision and pity of those competent to judge. That those prominent in the intermediate Socialistic divisions do not fully understand what they are about is evident from the positions they occupy. If they did; if they were consistent, logical thinkers; if they were what the French call consequent men,—their reasoning faculties would long since have driven them to one extreme or the other. For it is a curious fact that the two extremes of the vast army now under consideration, though united, as has been hinted above, by the common claim that labor shall be put in possession of its own, are more diametrically opposed to each other in their fundamental principles of social action and their methods of reaching the ends aimed at than either is to their common enemy, the existing society. They are based on two principles the history of whose conflict is almost equivalent to the history of the world since man came into it; and all intermediate parties, including that of the upholders of the existing society, are based upon a compromise between them. It is clear, then, that any intelligent, deep-rooted opposition to the prevailing order of things must come from one or the other of these extremes, for anything from any other source, far from being revolutionary in character, could be only in the nature of such superficial modification as would be utterly unable to concentrate upon itself the degree of attention and interest now bestowed upon Modern Socialism. The two principles referred to are Authority and Liberty, and the names of the two schools of Socialistic thought which fully and unreservedly represent one or the other of them are, respectively, State Socialism and Anarchism. Whoso knows what these two schools want and how they propose to get it understands the Socialistic movement. For, just as it has been said that there is no half-way house between Rome and Reason, so it may be said that there is no half-way house between State Socialism and Anarchism. There are, in fact, two currents steadily flowing from the center of the Socialistic forces which are concentrating them on the left and on the right; and, if Socialism is to prevail, it is among the possibilities that, after this movement of separation has been completed and the existing order have been crushed out between the two camps, the ultimate and bitterer conflict will be still to come. In that case all the eight-hour men, all the trades-unionists, all the Knights of Labor, all the land nationalizationists, all the greenbackers, and, in short, all the members of the thousand and one different battalions belonging to the great army of Labor, will have deserted their old posts, and, these being arrayed on the one side and the other, the great battle will begin. What a final victory for the State Socialists will mean, and what a final victory for the Anarchists will mean, it is the purpose of this paper to briefly state. To do this intelligently, however, I must first describe the ground common to both, the features that make Socialists of each of them. The economic principles of Modern Socialism are a logical deduction from the principle laid down by Adam Smith in the early chapters of his Wealth of Nations,—namely, that labor is the true measure of price. But Adam Smith, after stating this principle most clearly and concisely, immediately abandoned all further consideration of it to devote himself to showing what actually does measure price, and how, therefore, wealth is at present distributed. Since his day nearly all the political economists have followed his example by confining their function to the description of society as it is, in its industrial and commercial phases. Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be. Half a century or more after Smith enunciated the principle above stated, Socialism picked it up where he had dropped it, and in following it to its logical conclusions, made it the basis of a new economic philosophy. This seems to have been done independently by three different men, of three different nationalities, in three different languages: Josiah Warren, an American; Pierre J. Proudhon, a Frenchman; Karl Marx, a German Jew. That Warren and Proudhon arrived at their conclusions singly and unaided is certain; but whether Marx was not largely indebted to Proudhon for his economic ideas is questionable. However this may be, Marx’s presentation of the ideas was in so many respects peculiarly his own that he is fairly entitled to the credit of originality. That the work of this interesting trio should have been done so nearly simultaneously would seem to indicate that Socialism was in the air, and that the time was ripe and the conditions favorable for the appearance of this new school of thought. So far as priority of time is concerned, the credit seems to belong to Warren, the American,—a fact which should be noted by the stump orators who are so fond of declaiming against Socialism as an imported article. Of the purest revolutionary blood, too, this Warren, for he descended from the Warren who fell at Bunker Hill. From Smith’s principle that labor is the true measure of price—or, as Warren phrased it, that cost is the proper limit of price—these three men made the following deductions: that the natural wage of labor is its product; that this wage, or product, is the only just source of income (leaving out, of course, gift, inheritance, etc.); that all who derive income from any other source abstract it directly or indirectly from the natural and just wage of labor; that this abstracting process generally takes one of three forms,—interest, rent, and profit; that these three constitute the trinity of usury, and are simply different methods of levying tribute for the use of capital; that, capital being simply stored-up labor which has already received its pay in full, its use ought to be gratuitous, on the principle that labor is the only basis of price; that the lender of capital is entitled to its return intact, and nothing more; that the only reason why the banker, the stockholder, the landlord, the manufacturer, and the merchant are able to exact usury from labor lies in the fact that they are backed by legal privilege, or monopoly; and that the only way to secure labor the enjoyment of its entire product, or natural wage, is to strike down monopoly.”

  7166.  @maxkronader5225  put down the propaganda. Stalin and Mao were communists, meaning they had a goal of a stateless society of decentralist free associative communes and distribution based on need. However they were MARXIST-LENINISTS. Meaning they believed to achieve communism the proletariats, or industrial working class, had to be lead by a Vanguard Party to take control of the State and centralize government and nationalize all sectors. This State Socialism is what anarchists have opposed since it’s inception well before the Bolsheviks. As Mikhail Bakunin put it: “We revolutionary anarchists are the enemies of all forms of State and State organisations ... we think that all State rule, all governments being by their very nature placed outside the mass of the people, must necessarily seek to subject it to customs and purposes entirely foreign to it. We therefore declare ourselves to be foes ... of all State organisations as such, and believe that the people can only be happy and free, when, organised from below by means of its own autonomous and completely free associations, without the supervision of any guardians, it will create its own life.” “The leaders of the Communist Party, namely Mr. Marx and his followers, will concentrate the reins of government in a strong hand. They will centralize all commercial, industrial, agricultural, and even scientific production, and then divide the masses into two armies — industrial and agricultural — under the direct command of state engineers, who will constitute a new privileged scientific and political class.” 1873. “The Dictatorship of the Proletariat... In reality it would be for the proletariat a barrack regime where the standardized mass of men and women workers would wake, sleep, work and live to the beat of a drum; for the clever and learned a privilege, of governing: and for the mercenary minded, attracted by the State Bank, a vast field of lucrative jobbery.” 1869. “The programe of the International is very happily explicit: the emancipation of the workers can only be gained by the workers themselves. Is it not astonishing that Marx has believed it possible to graft on this never-the-less so precise declaration, which he publically drafted himself, his scientific socialism? That is to say, the organization of the government of the new society by socialistic scientists and professors - the worst of all, despotic governments! 1872. “No dictatorship can have any other aim but that of self-perpetuation and it can beget only slavery in the people tolerating it; freedom can be created only by freedom.” 1872. “We who are Materialists and Determinists, just as much as Marx himself, we also recognize the inevitable linking of economic and political facts in history. We recognize, indeed, the necessity, the inevitable character of all events, but we do not bow before them indifferently and above all we are careful about praising them when, by their nature, they show themselves in flagrant opposition to the supreme end of history... the triumph of humanity... by the absolute free and spontaneous organization of economic and social solidarity as completely as possible between all human beings living on earth. ... The Marxists do not reject our program absolutely. They only reproach us with wanting to hasten, to outstrip, the slow march of history and to ignore the scientific law of successive evolutions. Having had the thoroughly German nerve to proclaim in their works consecrated to the philisophical analysis of the past that the bloody defeat of the insurgent peasants of Germany and the triumph of the despotic states in the sixteenth century constituted a great revolutionary progress, they today have the nerve to satisfy themselves with establishing a new despotism to the so-called profit of the urban workers and to the detriment of the toilers of the countryside... ... Mr. Engels, driver on by the same logic, in a letter addressed to one of our friends, Carlo Cafiera, was able to say, without the least irony, but on the contrary, very seriously, that Bismark as well as King Victor Emmanuel II had rendered immense services to the revolution, both of them having created political centralization in their respective countries. I urge the French allies and sympathizers of Mr. Marx to carefully examine how this Marxist concept is being applied in the International.” 1872. “To support his programme of the conquest of political power, Marx has a very special theory which is, moreover, only a logical consequence of his whole system. The poitical condition of each country, says he, is always the faithful expression of its economic situation; to change the former it is only necessary to transform the latter. According to Marx, all the secret of historic evolution is there. He takes no account of other elements of history, such as the quite obvious reaction of political., juridicial and religious institutions on the economic situation. He says: 'Poverty produces political slavery, the State.' But he does not allow this expression to be turned around to say, 'Political slavery, the State, reproduces in its turn, and maintains poverty as a condition of its own existence, so that, in order to destroy poverty, it is necessary to destroy the State!'” 1872. “Either one destroys the State or one must accept the vilest and most fearful lie of our century: the red bureaucracy.” “Freedom without socialism is privilege and justice, and socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality.” Us anarchists, both communists and free market socialists, are anti-statists, anti-hierarchy, and therefore anti-capitalists. We’re libertarian socialists. The roots of socialism are planted in classical liberalism. As support for limited government developed into support for no government. Anarchists oppose capitalism as a system of privilege, exploitation, accumulation without limit, theft, abuse, and wage slavery, all supported by the coercive authority of the state. Students of the principles of classical political economy — the ideas of Smith, Ricardo, and Mill, et al. — the libertarian market socialists contended that the full realization of those principles and ideas meant an economic paradigm very different from capitalism, which they viewed as the successor of feudalism and mercantilism as a political, rather than economic creature. “Laissez-faire,” they said, had been improperly and spuriously leveraged for the defense of a system of injustices that in fact had nothing to do with legitimate free markets. Capitalists, the idle rich, were only able to profit from the labors of the industrious because they were protected by unfair advantages, embodied in law, that allowed them to escape the natural outcomes and pressures of genuine, full-fledged competition. “Hitherto there has been no alternative for those who lived by their labour, but that of labouring either each for himself alone, or for a master. But the civilizing and improving influences of association, and the efficiency and economy of production on a large scale, may be obtained without dividing the producers into two parties with hostile interests and feelings, the many who do the work being mere servants under the command of the one who supplies the funds, and having no interest of their own in the enterprise except to earn their wages with as little labour as possible. The speculations and discussions of the last fifty years, and the events of the last thirty, are abundantly conclusive on this point. If the improvement which even triumphant military despotism has only retarded, not stopped, shall continue its course, there can be little doubt that the status of hired labourers will gradually tend to confine itself to the description of workpeople whose low moral qualities render them unfit for anything more independent: and that the relation of masters and work-people will be gradually superseded by partnership, in one of two forms: in some cases, association of the labourers with the capitalist; in others, and perhaps finally in all, association of labourers among themselves.” – John Stuart Mill in Principles of Political Economy with some of their Applications to Social Philosophy

  7167.  @maxkronader5225  ever since the French National Assembly left wing means support of greater liberties and egalitarian social order. Right wing means support of greater authorities and hierarchic social order. Hence on the left sat the radical liberals. And on the right sat the monarchists, nobility, and clergy. The most leftist position today is anarchism. Left=more freedom/equality. Right=more authority/hierarchy. It’s not about good/bad. It’s about whether one believes in more freedom and less coercion, or more coercion and less freedom as the ideal society. It wasn’t until post-modernity that the mainstream narrative distorted the simplicity of the political spectrum to mean socioeconomic and sociocultural issues. It is really a political spectrum about the level of authority. Socioeconomics and sociocultural issues are two other distinct social dimensions.

  7182. Sp3nd Coin the hell are you talking about? All they accomplished was State Capitalism. Don’t tell me you bought the Stalinist kool aid that that garbage can pass for Communism. Communism is Stateless, moneyless, and classless. Soviet Russia was clearly a nation-State, they had money, wage labor, and State Capitalism, and they had a political class governing the workers. Three strikes you’re out. Whereas the Anarcho-Syndicalists in Catalonia abolished the State in their autonomous territories, did not use money, and were in organized decentralized free associations of worker’s syndicates. Where the worker’s were in direct control of production and distribution. Libertarian Socialists actually were closer to Communism, as it’s why Anarcho-Communism became the biggest strain of Anarchism. I fail to see how State Socialists and Marxist-Leninist’s State Capitalism is anywhere near Communism. Even China today exploits the laborers and participate in the Capitalist mode of production. Leninists never managed post-Capitalism, let alone Communism.

  7208.  @HarryS77  boy you don’t even know our own history. Ever heard of Proudhon, Benjamin Tucker, Josiah Warren? Saying only communists are libertarian socialists is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard, especially when the Mutualist Proudhon was the first to call himself Anarchist. Do you not understand classical economics were the precursors to socialists? Georgism was the pinnacle of classical liberalism. Even the anarchist Leo Tolstoy was supportive of Henry George’s LVT. Classical liberalism was our predecessor, where limited government becomes no government and anti-statism. As an anarchist shouldn’t you be supporting limitations of government, and concentrations of powers like capital? You sound like these social democrats that try to reform things instead of attacking what sustains capitalism, government, the State. I mean we don’t even have a liberal system, the monopolies (that formed under government protections) are basically what Adam Smith was attacking. Actual liberals are anti-monopolists. If you still don’t understand the relation between classical liberalism and libertarian socialism where here’s what a liberal said: “Hitherto there has been no alternative for those who lived by their labour, but that of labouring either each for himself alone, or for a master. But the civilizing and improving influences of association, and the efficiency and economy of production on a large scale, may be obtained without dividing the producers into two parties with hostile interests and feelings, the many who do the work being mere servants under the command of the one who supplies the funds, and having no interest of their own in the enterprise except to earn their wages with as little labour as possible. The speculations and discussions of the last fifty years, and the events of the last thirty, are abundantly conclusive on this point. If the improvement which even triumphant military despotism has only retarded, not stopped, shall continue its course, there can be little doubt that the status of hired labourers will gradually tend to confine itself to the description of workpeople whose low moral qualities render them unfit for anything more independent: and that the relation of masters and work-people will be gradually superseded by partnership, in one of two forms: in some cases, association of the labourers with the capitalist; in others, and perhaps finally in all, association of labourers among themselves.” — John Stuart Mill Classical liberals were fine with socialism so long as it wasn’t about State interference in the economy

  7209.  @HarryS77  Marx?!!! Marx who had the same notion of capital as neoliberals. As in land is the same as capital. The same Marx who shitted on Proudhon because of arrogance and believing he was the smartest man on Earth only to agree with Proudhon. I said I support Georgism as a step towards free society and the acceptance of land as a common resource. From there we can easily make a case for the end of all rent and taxation towards an occupancy and use Mutualist system. A market socialist system that’ll get people accustomed to workers cooperatives, federation, and free association. And from there a case of common ownership and communism can be made. After all from Proudhon’s mutualism the IWW came to Syndicalist and communist conclusions. Bakunin believed he was just taking the Mutualist system of Proudhon to it’s natural conclusions, collectivization and syndicalist associations. I’m a libertarian socialist, and just cause I believe all it’s strains have something of value to add to the social revolution, and can work together doesn’t make be a liberal playing at anarchy. Would you rather contend with a centralized State, or a limited liberal government? Literally other anarchists have talked of the relation between classical liberalism and libertarianism. I recommend Anarcho-Syndicalist Rudolf Rocker’s Pioneers of American Freedom: Origin of Liberal and Radical Thought in America.

  7210.  @HarryS77  you do know that Marx came to his economic work through classical economists right? He venerated them, to the point of calling them classical economists to distinguish them from the neoliberals he called “vulgar economists”. Adam Smith popularized the idea that value comes from cost, the labor put into it. David Ricardo who was influential to the Georgists expanded upon this and he literally was the influence of the Ricardian socialists, Thomas Hodgskin was an English socialist writer on political economy, critic of capitalism and defender of free trade and early trade unions who wrote “Labor Defended Against the Claims of Capital” Literally the first theories of labor exploitation came from classical economists. Charles Dunoyer and Charles Comte even wrote about class antagonisms and struggle well before even Proudhon

  7211. @Matias Martinez might I also offer this article as complementary to your reading Marx’s “critique” of Henry George’s LVT. https://merionwest.com/2019/06/02/through-letters-the-gap-between-henry-george-and-karl-marx/ And here is a link to Marx’s letter https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1881/letters/81_06_20.htm It's been a while since I've read it - but from what I remember, Marx's basic critique boils down to two things: He says George's ideas aren't socialism. He is correct. Building on point 1, he criticizes George for not eliminating capital/wage labor. He is also correct that George doesn't do these things. From what I recall, he never actually refutes the benefits of George's remedy or its ability to reduce poverty and increase labor bargaining power. His entire gripe is with its inability to eliminate wage labor and private property... so his criticism, in my eyes, is very weak and primarily a reaction to contemporary misinterpretations of George and his ideas as socialist. I actually agree with Marx that wage labor is fundamentally exploitative and that value is generally generated by labor - but I don't think his solution to these is practical, at least not in the foreseeable future, and it comes with risks which likely are not worth the rewards.Kropotkin’s communist theories are far superior and he comes to them through an actual scientific and evolutionary basis. Whereas Georgism is actually a brilliant solution to the problem of rentierism. I would point out, as others have done, that this is not a serious critique and is just Marx's ramblings in a letter. Having actually read both Marx and George, I honestly don't see how their analyses are incompatible for the most part. As far as I'm aware, George's theory of liberal economics doesn't depend on any specific theory of value. Marx's critique is in general more wide reaching than George's but does not touch on a lot of the things George picks up on with respect to land. His criticism for George was as childish as were his criticisms on libertarian socialists like Proudhon or Bakunin. And keeping it real Marxism has been tried before, Henry George’s LVT hasn’t. As a libertarian socialist I do support a more liberal system so long as we have a State because it would limit the government, and an actual liberal economics system would break monopolies through a more competitive market system whereas the State props up these mega corporations and monopolies, that only exist because of government interference and privileges. With an actual limited government system socialism could be more easily implemented because it has nothing to do with government. A free economy would really help the rise of workers cooperatives, Mutualist banks for laborers, and the socialization of industry and production. Or as Proudhon put it: “Under the law of association, transmission of wealth does not apply to the instruments of labour, so cannot become a cause of inequality. [...] We are socialists [...] under universal association, ownership of the land and of the instruments of labour is social ownership. [...] We want the mines, canals, railways handed over to democratically organised workers' associations. [...] We want these associations to be models for agriculture, industry and trade, the pioneering core of that vast federation of companies and societies, joined together in the common bond of the democratic and social Republic” Georgism followed by mutualism would just be the start to an anarchist social revolution

  7212.  @mbburry4759  .... classical liberal Georgism is dictatorship.... you obviously don’t understand what an LVT is. What are you conflating it with property tax? LVT collects the rent of land, it’s a Single Tax that eliminates all other taxes like income, property (capital), sales etc.... Georgism will be the promises of classical liberalism become reality.
    1
  7213.  @mbburry4759  like I said it’s not a property tax. It’s a tax on the rent of land, valued by it’s market price. I recommend you look into it. And LVT is the only efficient tax that doesn’t cause economic problems. “Georgism is concerned with the distribution of economic rent caused by natural monopolies, pollution and the control of commons, including title of ownership for natural resources and other contrived privileges (e.g. intellectual property). Any natural resource which is inherently limited in supply can generate economic rent, but the classical and most significant example of land monopoly involves the extraction of common ground rent from valuable urban locations. Georgists argue that taxing economic rent is efficient, fair and equitable. The main Georgist policy recommendation is a tax assessed on land value. Georgists argue that revenues from a land value tax (LVT) can be used to reduce or eliminate existing taxes such as on income, trade, or purchases that are unfair and inefficient. Some Georgists also advocate for the return of surplus public revenue to the people by means of a basic income or citizen's dividend. The concept of gaining public revenues mainly from land and natural resource privileges was widely popularized by Henry George through his first book, Progress and Poverty (1879). The philosophical basis of Georgism dates back to several early thinkers such as John Locke, Baruch Spinoza, and Thomas Paine. Economists since Adam Smith and David Ricardo have observed that a public levy on land value does not cause economic inefficiency, unlike other taxes. A land value tax also has progressive tax effects. Advocates of land value taxes argue that they would reduce economic inequality, increase economic efficiency, remove incentives to underutilize urban land and reduce property speculation.” Georgism is even more profound in it’s potential effects than many may know.

If you want to know what genuine American traditionalism is study the works of Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, and the Federalists.

"The true foundation of republican government," Jefferson wrote, "is the equal right of every citizen in his person and property, and in their management". In that letter Jefferson outlined the need for "ward republics," small units of local government, within Virginia's existing counties, which he thought were too large for direct participation of all the voters. He proposed to divide the counties into "wards of such size as that every citizen can attend, when called on, and act in person … will relieve the county administration of nearly all its business, will have it better done, and by making every citizen an acting member of the government, and in the offices nearest and most interesting to him, will attach him by his strongest feelings to the independence of his country, and its republican constitution". His proposal was that such wards consist of no more people than can all know one another and personally perform the functions of government for one another; direct democracy at the district level.

  7255. the social liberalism is just paid lip service and a public relations ploy when it comes to capitalist elites. Not to say the individual person doesn’t believe in more social liberalism, but it is setback by the priority of their bottom line and making profits. Capitalist society is quite hedonistic and corporations and businesses target groups and advertise their support of social issues and environmental issues so that they have good public relations and a stable base of consumers and clientele. Their left leaning social commercialization doesn’t amount to much when their foremost concern is their business success. Socioeconomics is a serious issue for the welfare of people, and a corporation giving to charity isn’t helping inequalities and so it goes.

  7269. @jdugmar I mean we have grown stronger from it. For example the latest sis Bookchin’s Commnualism which combines social ecology with decentralist body politics based in libertarian principle. Classical anarchism extended itself to only socioeconomic matters but bringing political in the form of libertarian municipalism or democratic Confederalism enforces local political autonomy. Free association however is necessary and if we are to replace the State we have to spread our libertarian movement through education and propaganda. Libertarianism has never been a short term but long term gameplan. Another thing is revitalized the free market anarchism for those uncomfortable or too indoctrinated to understand what the more communist anarchism promotes. Unfortunately communism is now associated with Soviet style Statist Socialism. But through the concept of “Anarchy without hyphens” we can unite all libertarians to freely experiment their own society. And Mutualist free markets is a way for people used to market economy to transition towards a socialist economy. Get them to see socialism is not anti-market but anti-capitalist and wage labor. Ideally a libertarian society would be highly diverse and be a free association of anarcho-Syndicalists, Collectivists, Communists, and Free Marker Anarchists (Mutualists) etc... Though I don’t agree that “Anarcho-capitalism” is truly anarchist they are welcomed to experiment and we’ll see how “libertarian” a capitalist economy can be with it’s reliance on wage labor. In a nutshell we have learned much of the past and a revitalization of the libertarian movement must be suited for the modern period.

  7271. Evan Loginov A common objection given by capitalists to Anarchist theories is that Anarchism is utopian because people will always form hierarchies, as much as we’d like them not to do so. In short, hierarchies are part of human nature. There are two major problems with this assumption. First, if hierarchies were natural, then they would have been adopted by all societies. And yet we know this is not true, as there have been many societies which actively eschewed hierarchical decision-making (see for instance examples in People without Government: An Anthology of Anarchy, by Harold Barclay). Second, if hierarchies were part of human nature, then everyone should desire them. And yet few people desire to obey others (who likes to have to work, pay taxes, and so on?). We obey for many reasons, but not out of a desire for the hierarchy itself. No other human instinct works in this way. We seek to have sex because we want to have sex, not because we’re forced to. We eat because we’re hungry. People follow some religion or spirituality, and don’t wish ardently that they were skeptics. In short, if hierarchies are natural, then why don’t we actually like them? I said that we obey others for many reasons. This obviously needs to be explained before the argument takes its full force. There are three main reasons why we obey: 1. Because we have no other viable options (this is not true in some cases, but certainly true in others). 2. Because we can’t imagine things being any other way. This is especially true of hierarchies which have existed for more than a generation. This would apply to people who didn’t have access to education, despite the fact that we are now more educated, we are not taught about the different kinds of societies that existed before ours (as in the book I already referenced), or the alternatives which exist today (see for instance the examples from Anarchy in Action, by Colin Ward). Our education system is geared towards turning children into good citizens and good workers, not into informed decision-makers or people with any knowledge of society beyond the tyrannical concepts of our capital-democracies. Decision-making is, of course, to be left to the “experts” and “authorities,” leaving the people as a whole with token choices between pre-approved options. And because we are taught that “it’s always been that way,” we can’t imagine it being any other way. 3. We hope to, one day, be the ones who give the orders, either as an individual or as part of a faction. This is the goal of most hierarchical games conditions, including those of capitalism and democracy, and those that don’t have that goal still give an inbuilt sense of superiority (in Christianity, for instance, one cannot become God, but one can feel superior to others by worshipping God the right way and having the correct beliefs). In fact, it’s interesting to note how little even true believers in this or that faction support the hierarchy that makes their factions possible, in democracy for example. The staunch Democrat or Republican does not believe in democracy, at least most of the time; he or she praises the democratic process only when their chosen faction wins. They want to impose their values on everyone else, not obey the results of the process as such. The best argument against the “hierarchies are natural” position is the massive amount of indoctrination, threats and cajoling necessary to make people obey, starting from a young age all through one’s life. And yet, the moment their control weakens, widespread public resistance springs up almost by magic. In his famous work The True Believer, Eric Hoffer pointed out that dictatorships need not fear opposition as long as they maintain their iron grip, but that any relaxing of that grip is inevitably followed by public rebellion. If hierarchies were natural, this is the exact opposite of what we would expect. If hierarchies are not natural, then what is natural? As Kropotkin famously argued, mutual aid permeates the animal kingdom, including humans, and is probably a more important evolutionary factor than warfare between species or competition within a species. The faculties which led the human species to unlock the secrets of nature were social adaptations, not tools of war.

    1
  7276. Soul Prestigio In a right-libertarian or "anarcho"-capitalist society, freedom is considered to be a product of property. As Murray Rothbard puts it, "the libertarian defines the concept of 'freedom' or 'liberty'. . .[as a] condition in which a person's ownership rights in his body and his legitimate material property rights are not invaded, are not aggressed against. . . . Freedom and unrestricted property rights go hand in hand." This definition has some problems, however. In such a society, one cannot (legitimately) do anything with or on another's property if the owner prohibits it. This means that an individual's only guaranteed freedom is determined by the amount of property that he or she owns. This has the consequence that someone with no property has no guaranteed freedom at all (beyond, of course, the freedom not to be murdered or otherwise harmed by the deliberate acts of others). In other words, a distribution of property is a distribution of freedom, as the right-libertarians themselves define it. It strikes anarchists as strange that an ideology that claims to be committed to promoting freedom entails the conclusion that some people should be more free than others. However, this is the logical implication of their view, which raises a serious doubt as to whether laissez faire capitalists are actually interested in freedom. Looking at Rothbard's definition of "liberty" quoted above, we can see that freedom is actually no longer considered to be a fundamental, independent concept. Instead, freedom is a derivative of something more fundamental, namely the "legitimate rights" of an individual, which are identified as property rights. In other words, given that "anarcho"-capitalists and right libertarians in general consider the right to property as "absolute," it follows that freedom and property become one and the same. Another important implication of this "liberty as property" concept is that it produces a strangely alienated concept of freedom. Liberty, as we noted, is no longer considered absolute but a derivative of property -- which has the important consequence that you can "sell" your liberty and still be considered free by the ideology. This concept of liberty (namely "liberty as property") is usually termed "self-ownership." But, to state the obvious, I do not "own" myself, as if were an object somehow separable from my subjectivity -- I am myself. However, the concept of "self-ownership" is handy for justifying various forms of domination and oppression -- for by agreeing (usually under the force of circumstances, we must note) to certain contracts, an individual can "sell" (or rent out) themselves to others (for example, when workers sell their labour power to capitalists on the "free market"). In effect, "self-ownership" becomes the means of justifying treating people as objects -- ironically, the very thing the concept was created to stop! As L. Susan Brown notes, "at the moment an individual 'sells' labour power to another, he/she loses self-determination and instead is treated as a subjectless instrument for the fulfilment of another's will." [The Politics of Individualism]

  7277. Soul Prestigio and so Capitalism will never be freedom. It relies on government intervention to even be sustainable, but ultimately it is an antiquated Social Darwinian system. Anarchists are socialists or for Anarchist Markets, not one is Capitalist. Tyranny whether by government or private owner class is opposed to liberty. And so Anarchists organize society in decentralized federations of free associations. Socialist economies of worker’s ownership, worker’s councils, cooperatives, democratized workplace, self-management, recall etc... Free societies of free individuals in worker’s solidarity. Societies like Anarcho-Syndicalist Catalonia were more liberated than any Capitalist one could ever hope to be. We’re anti-Authority, anti-Statist, and anti-Capitalist. But in the meantime we’ll do anything to alleviate the working class from their owner class exploiters. The more Social Democratic the less concentrated wealth. Ultimately Capitalists support the State. As they did with Franco, Hitler, Pinochet, Mussolini etc... Free Market Capitalism is a fantasy. No system of such concentration of prestige, wealth, and power is sustainable without a government to regulate it. Without a State to protect the Capitalist ruling class. Workers don’t look for employers to work for a salary because they are free to, otherwise they’ll starve and be homeless. They do it cause they have to.

  7278. Soul Prestigio please don’t call yourself “Libertarian” Actual Libertarianism is what Anarchist Socialists called themselves and their anti-Capitalist and anti-State ideology. What you are is a laissez faire Capitalist. A Miltonist, a Chicago Boy etc... no need to use another’s term. Capitalism brings people out of poverty? Sure the privileged Capitalist owners. Let’s not forget why minorities are least likely to be in the socioeconomic elite historically. Capitalism is presented as a “natural” system, formed a bit like mountains or land masses by forces beyond human control, that it is an economic system ultimately resulting from human nature. However it was not established by “natural forces” but by intense and massive violence across the globe. First in the “advanced” countries, enclosures drove self-sufficient peasants from communal land into the cities to work in factories. Any resistance was crushed. People who resisted the imposition of wage labour were subjected to vagabond laws and imprisonment, torture, deportation or execution. In England under the reign of Henry VIII alone 72,000 people were executed for vagabondage. Later capitalism was spread by invasion and conquest by Western imperialist powers around the globe. Whole civilisations were brutally destroyed with communities driven from their land into waged work. The only countries that avoided conquest were those—like Japan—which adopted capitalism on their own in order to compete with the other imperial powers. Everywhere capitalism developed, peasants and early workers resisted, but were eventually overcome by mass terror and violence. Capitalism did not arise by a set of natural laws which stem from human nature: it was spread by the organised violence of the elite. The concept of private property of land and means of production might seem now like the natural state of things, however we should remember it is a man-made concept enforced by conquest. Similarly, the existence of a class of people with nothing to sell but their labour power is not something which has always been the case—common land shared by all was seized by force, and the dispossessed forced to work for a wage under the threat of starvation or even execution. As capital expanded, it created a global working class consisting of the majority of the world’s population whom it exploits but also depends on.

Either it’s part of Vecna’s disdain for time, or something about opening the first permanent portal in 1983. Obviously they’ll have to explain that and it’s going to be important to defeat Vecna, maybe even the Mind Flayer in season 5. My initial theory would be that Vecna, working for the Mind Flayer, stopped time when the first permanent portal opened as a means to remain in a time period where there was a portal opened, or something to that effect. The Mind Flayer would have sensed when a rift was opened, especially since the Demogorgons are part of the collective hive mind. Everything the Demogorgon saw the Mind Flayer saw as well.

  7295. Thomas Jefferson I hear what you’re saying. I don’t like the Federalists. They weren’t actually for Federalism which at the time wasn’t a clear concept. Confederalism and Federalism to some were synonymous, Jefferson was an actual Federalist, the Nationalists weren’t. Their Constitution, the one we inexplicably still have now, was one to centralize power to the whims of the elitist “Federalists”, it was a counterrevolutionary coup. Hamilton justified the Constitution as giving government pretty much unlimited powers despite the rhetoric of power distribution. As per the US Constitution I agree with Paine and Jefferson. No generation should be governed by the dead. My point was that in accordance to the Federal Constitution, government use of authority is constitutional to all it deems national interest. We are living in Hamilton’s republic, governed by and for elites, wealthy aristocracy, and high industrial production serving the speculators, financiers, and plutocrats. As for the not being a Federal issue you’re right. Then therefore Tucker’s premise is nonexistent as to the unconstitutionality of the issue. If it’s not a Federal issue the purview of the situation lies with the State as to whether or not it is breaking Constitutionality to which this Governor answers he was following health guidelines and deemed it necessary. The Synagogue can take it up to court after the pandemic. Reading the letters and personal documents of the Founders gives the larger picture. Jefferson was a strict constructionist (until he wasn’t). But he wouldn’t mind if the living generations have differing views for the times. Today the Federal is more unitary, and government influences perhaps more than it ever has... but that’s a consequence of blind worship to an outdated Constitution created by elitist Nationalists. Real Federalism is Confederalism, the smallest unit closest to the people should have the most influence. General Welfare is also a concern of the States. So long as one State doesn’t interfere with another I’m good. If they wish to allow people to gather well then perhaps let them, it’s their problem? However not everyone in the same State will even agree. Regardless I’m not arguing the ‘General Welfare’ clause itself implies unlimited powers, but the entirety of the Constitution itself is useless paper, it’s been bypassed throughout the ages, like the Bible used to justify whatever. Hamilton created the National Bank justifying it with the Constitution. Others saw it a violation of it. Some saw the New Deal as unconstitutional, the New Deal coalition saw it as keeping to those ideals of Liberalism, Life and Liberty. Some see addressing climate change a national interest to be addressed by government in accordance with the right to Life. Some see ‘General Welfare’ as justifying public projects and universal healthcare coverage. My favorite Founder Thomas Paine was essentially a proto- liberal Democratic Socialist. He even designed the nation’s first welfare state. He was the most radical and far more liberal than the Federalists, even more than Jefferson a close second. Paine envisioned a far more radical liberal democratic republic than the Constitution provided. All in all it is all debatable. I don’t agree with the actions of these folks, nor the Governor’s. But realistically the answer is not complex, these days public gatherings don’t have to be personal. It wreaks more of caprice. They shouldn’t be punished or praised, they should be left to their own devices so far as they don’t effect others.
    1
  7296. Thomas Jefferson interesting quotes though. Personally I have more studying to do. But it sounds proper that General Welfare is limited to those enumerated powers and not all encompassing funding. The problem is the Federalists knew what they were doing and as they will go on to prove had a broad interpretation of what they can do. John Jay’s constitutional review was another blow the Federalists have brought upon liberty. Ultimately under the Federalist’s conception of Federalism the States are subordinate to the Federal government. This is a sham of an attempt of distribution of powers.

  7310.  @rustinusti  yeah but Lincoln was defending the encroachment of capitalism. He believed there was nothing wrong with the capitalist system, but that it was the system of modernity. Free labor meant being able to work your way up to being a capitalist. And sure, it was an easier pill to swallow back in a pre-capitalist society like American was back when. The majority of people were self-employed artisans and farmers. And the people feared wage slavery. Lincoln and the Republicans were the harbingers of capitalism to the States, and while they ended chattel slavery, they brought upon wage slavery. “It is not needed nor fitting here that a general argument should be made in favor of popular institutions, but there is one point, with its connections, not so hackneyed as most others, to which I ask a brief attention. It is the effort to place capital on an equal footing with, if not above, labor in the structure of government. It is assumed that labor is available only in connection with capital; that nobody labors unless somebody else, owning capital, somehow by the use of it induces him to labor. This assumed, it is next considered whether it is best that capital shall hire laborers, and thus induce them to work by their own consent, or buy them and drive them to it without their consent. Having proceeded so far, it is naturally concluded that all laborers are either hired laborers or what we call slaves. And further, it is assumed that whoever is once a hired laborer is fixed in that condition for life. Now there is no such relation between capital and labor as assumed, nor is there any such thing as a free man being fixed for life in the condition of a hired laborer. Both these assumptions are false, and all inferences from them are groundless. Labor is prior to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. Capital has its rights, which are as worthy of protection as any other rights. Nor is it denied that there is, and probably always will be, a relation between labor and capital producing mutual benefits. The error is in assuming that the whole labor of community exists within that relation. A few men own capital, and that few avoid labor themselves, and with their capital hire or buy another few to labor for them. A large majority belong to neither class–neither work for others nor have others working for them. In most of the Southern States a majority of the whole people of all colors are neither slaves nor masters, while in the Northern a large majority are neither hirers nor hired. Men, with their families–wives, sons, and daughters–work for themselves on their farms, in their houses, and in their shops, taking the whole product to themselves, and asking no favors of capital on the one hand nor of hired laborers or slaves on the other. It is not forgotten that a considerable number of persons mingle their own labor with capital; that is, they labor with their own hands and also buy or hire others to labor for them; but this is only a mixed and not a distinct class. No principle stated is disturbed by the existence of this mixed class. Again, as has already been said, there is not of necessity any such thing as the free hired laborer being fixed to that condition for life. Many independent men everywhere in these States a few years back in their lives were hired laborers. The prudent, penniless beginner in the world labors for wages awhile, saves a surplus with which to buy tools or land for himself, then labors on his own account another while, and at length hires another new beginner to help him. This is the just and generous and prosperous system which opens the way to all, gives hope to all, and consequent energy and progress and improvement of condition to all. No men living are more worthy to be trusted than those who toil up from poverty; none less inclined to take or touch aught which they have not honestly earned. Let them beware of surrendering a political power which they already possess, and which if surrendered will surely be used to close the door of advancement against such as they and to fix new disabilities and burdens upon them till all of liberty shall be lost.” Lincoln’s SOTU Address 1863

  7335.  @vincesmith2499  “Hitherto there has been no alternative for those who lived by their labour, but that of labouring either each for himself alone, or for a master. But the civilizing and improving influences of association, and the efficiency and economy of production on a large scale, may be obtained without dividing the producers into two parties with hostile interests and feelings, the many who do the work being mere servants under the command of the one who supplies the funds, and having no interest of their own in the enterprise except to earn their wages with as little labour as possible. The speculations and discussions of the last fifty years, and the events of the last thirty, are abundantly conclusive on this point. If the improvement which even triumphant military despotism has only retarded, not stopped, shall continue its course, there can be little doubt that the status of hired labourers will gradually tend to confine itself to the description of workpeople whose low moral qualities render them unfit for anything more independent: and that the relation of masters and work-people will be gradually superseded by partnership, in one of two forms: in some cases, association of the labourers with the capitalist; in others, and perhaps finally in all, association of labourers among themselves.” “The form of association, however, which if mankind continue to improve, must be expected in the end to predominate, is not that which can exist between a capitalist as chief, and work-people without a voice in the management, but the association of the labourers themselves on terms of equality, collectively owning the capital with which they carry on their operations, and working under managers elected and removable by themselves.” – John Stuart Mill in Principles of Political Economy

  7336.  @vincesmith2499  I am. I just know that the amount of money leisure classes make are do not to free market competition, but to monopolies backed by government. Monopolies of money, land, tariff, and IP (patents/copyright). Free banking is one of the cases I advocate for most. Only by free competition on credit could workers establish mutual banking credit networks where they can lend at low interest, establishing worker’s associations and independent enterprisers. But in order to do this the State must be limited in it’s artificial prop up of monopolies landlords and capitalists make use of. Land (LVT, Georgism, rent the land value as Single Tax); Money (free banking competition and credit market); Tariffs (eliminate all taxes on sales, import, export, income, and property leaving only the efficient LVT (Physiocrats)); Patents (eliminate all intellectual property and copyright artificial monopolies protected by government to open free competition and greater innovation and enterprise).

Free banking should be taken back by the people to establish systems of free credit. They contend that banks have a monopoly on credit, just as capitalists have a monopoly on the means of production and landlords have a land monopoly. Banks create money by lending out deposits that do not belong to them and then charging interest on the difference. Mutualists argue that by establishing a democratically run mutual savings bank or credit union, it would be possible to issue free credit so that money could be created for the participants' benefit rather than the bankers' benefit. Individualist anarchists noted for their detailed views on mutualist banking include Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, William Batchelder Greene and Lysander Spooner.

  7338.  @vincesmith2499  do you not know what rent-seeking is? This is the problem with neoclassical economics. The money monopoly allows for the restriction of credit and the development of debt-based models that destroy stores of value and make individuals slaves to the desires of governments and banks through modern forms of debt peonage. This has been apparent in the works of classical liberals since the 18th and 19th centuries. As Dowd notes, over the 20th century “the US dollar has lost almost 85 per cent of its purchasing power even by official government statistics; for its part, sterling has lost 98 per cent of its value over the last century”. The restriction of credit coupled with the inflationary tendencies of modern fiat currencies mean the poorest are effectively forced into wage labour, as they rely on pitiable increases in nominal wages and are unable to gain any real credit for self-employment or collective worker-owned enterprises. What happens is a redistribution of wealth from the poorest to the richest. Left-libertarian Austrian economist Roderick Long shows that “inflationary monetary policies on the part of central banks also tend to benefit those businesses that receive the inflated money first in the form of loans and investments, when they are still facing the old, lower prices”. The pre-inflation money allows investors and banks to capitalise on new production and investment while the poorer elements of a society receive minimal benefits as the inflationary course makes its run, with prices rising and wages following later. This also leads to massive levels of debt found currently throughout the globe, as credit instruments are used to make up for stagnant wages that can’t afford increasing land prices and subsequently rent prices, as well as an increase in the price of consumer goods that are a significant chunk of working people’s wages. The process of rent extraction via high interest rates follows from this, as “the money monopoly also includes entry barriers against cooperative banks and prohibitions against private issuance of banknotes, by which access to finance capital is restricted and interest rates are kept artificially high”. Mutualist Kevin Carson notes further that the elimination of controlled interest rates would lead to “significant numbers (of workers) retiring in their forties or fifties, cutting back to part-time, or starting businesses; with jobs competing for workers, the effect on bargaining power would be revolutionary”. The current banking system leads to the necessitation of wage labour through restricted credit dissemination and debt-based forms of finance.

  7340.  @vincesmith2499  what do they teach in schools? Oh right propaganda. Libertarianism originated as synonym for Anarchism in the 19th century. It was the anti-statist and anti-authority wing of socialism. The father of Anarchism was Pierre J Proudhon, a libertarian socialist. And the very term “libertarian” was coined by the anarchist-communist Joseph Dejacque. Right wing capitalists (Rothbard) appropriated the term libertarian and anarchist in the 1960s. However in Europe and elsewhere libertarian remains synonymous with anarchists and radical socialists. Anarchism/libertarianism being historically an anti-capitalist movement. Anti-capitalist not meaning against market economy, but against the capitalist mode of production.

  7349. State’s Rights has never been about small government, doesn’t matter what level of government the issue is overreach and interference. State’s Rights has always spat in the face of local autonomy and government closest to the individual. Big government isn’t the level of government, but the policy and scope of authority. Which is why the future of the Left is returning to it’s decentralist and libertarian roots. Communalism and libertarian municipalism.

  7358.  @paulieprinceton4550  we need to be clearer than that. George Orwell is famous for warning of authoritarian socialists, fascists, and totalitarianism of any kind. But he was a Democratic Socialist, and was highly inspired and supportive of libertarian communism. What he was against was the Stalinist Statist Socialists. Proper libertarian communism is an anarchist political stance of anti-statism and classless society by forming free associations of producers, and federations of communes (French for city/town). We should be critical of Statist Socialism, but libertarian socialism is something to support for a free society of free associations. It is why George Orwell supported leftist socialism, and opposed authoritarian socialism. “Progressives” aren’t socialists, but corporatists. We do not have either full capitalism, nor a mixed economy of capitalism and socialism. We only have liberal corporatism. Please look up liberal corporatism to understand further the actual economic agenda we are dealing with. I assure you among socialists there are libertarian communists, and free market socialists. The original American progressives learned from Bismarck’s Germany, where he sought to undermine and defeat the labor unions and socialist movements by creating the first welfare capitalist state. American Progressivism originated from this corporatist managerial approach to socioeconomics. Still it’s not hard to see why people prefer social democracy and progressivism to this neoliberal order of corporate hegemony.

They’re not conserving anything they want to roll back the clock. Barry Goldwater warned us what would happen when these religious fundamentalists take over the Republican Party from true Conservatives. Conservatism preserves the progress made, and limit excessive progressive schemes until they see society is ready to progress. They are enemies of regressivism as much as radical change because their goal is to prevent revolutionary fervor and discord caused by stopping progress

  7386. Professor Rook I said Market Socialism. Under socialist markets businesses and industries are owned by the workers in collectives, cooperatives, and worker’s associations. Labor is the value of product, as per the labor theory of value. Socialists who support a market system also call for for the end of all forms of usury, rent, profit, interest. Incomes not earned by labor. Socialism is anti-capitalist not necessarily anti-markets. Market Socialists support an anti-capitalist market system that doesn’t exploit labor. And other socialists such as communists prefer planning economies, whether centralized or decentralized.

These people put their faith in others, and let other do their thinking for them, instead of self-governing and critical thinking. Their opposition to vaccination isn’t deep, it’s a reaction against those they deem as pedophile satanists, and demons. They follow the leader, and believe any crap read on social media. They know nothing of science, and aren’t even curious enough to research peer reviews and medical journals from the actual professionals; which are available online in appropriate databases. Nothing “individualist” about this, it is groupthink. I agree with not blindly believing to institutions, but respecting the science is another thing entirely.

  7420. Libertarian Capitalist No you don’t. Anarcho-Communist and Syndicalists abolish the State. As Catalonians did. There was no government. Just comrades working in Unions and collectivized industries owned by the workers. It was highly decentralized a form of economic organization. AnCaps are a step further than right “Libertarians” They want minarchist State protecting individual rights and laissez faire Capitalist economy. AnCaps want no State or government and private individuals competing within the Free Market Capitalist economy and people are basically governed by supply and demand forces. It’s a feudal system pretty much. Right Libertarians as I see you are also would create that socioeconomic order except with the benefit of a governing body protecting private property and civil liberties. In other word neither are Anarchists.
    1
  7421. Libertarian Capitalist Well that’s the problem with AnCap among many other issues. Without a State Capitalism doesn’t thrive, it quickly devolves. Think of the logic, everyone out for number one. Self interests and profit motivation is somehow beneficial to society? AnCaps believe Corporations won’t exist without government regulations. In fact Corporate is the most common form of Capitalism. Not only is Capitalism an oppressive hierarchical system in itself, it will always need the State apparatus to function somewhat efficiently. I meant Corporatism as in big business dominance. But yes Corporatism is the Fascist alliance of Corporations and State. As you can see whatever form it takes Capitalism always has a relationship with the State powers. It does not exist without it. There is no protection of private property or legal transactions backed by law without the State. In an AnCap scenario there is nothing protecting private property or deals or transactions but the account with the biggest Capital. I’m a Libertarian Socialist.
    1
  7422. Libertarian Capitalist Anarcho-Syndicalism is a radical Unionism and decentralized industrial or workplace organization. Each Union, collectively own their industry and means of production and voluntarily deal with each other in Federalist network or system. Mutualists believe in ownership based on occupancy and use. They think that as long as you use something or live somewhere, you own it; but as soon as you leave, it ceases to be yours. Because of this, Mutualists are anti-capitalist, because they think it’s exploitative, and a violation of worker’s rights, for a boss to profit off of somebody else’s labour. The workers, in their view, should own their place of work, and also believe tenants should own their homes, instead of landlords. However, unlike many other forms of socialism and anarchism, they don’t necessarily believe in a communal society. In their view, a marketplace in which workers own their respective businesses would be much more competitive and efficient than hierarchical businesses.

  7424. Libertarian Capitalist It’s more than that. But if you work it or live it you own it. Doesn’t have to be Market Economy either. Could be Gift Economy or even Barter System. Mutual transactions and Mutual Banks.
    1
  7425. ogogo ogpgpg Mutualism advocates collective ownership not private property. But of course as in all Far Left ideologies that is not to say no personal property. Proudhon said Mutualism is the synthesis of Communism and Property. You can have a farm but couldn’t pay wages to laborers to work it for you. Anyone allowed to work the farm wouldn’t be employees but fellow owners of the labor and means of production. Though I suppose it being family owned would be almost that, but again by principle all in the family would equally own the farm and production.
    1
  7426. ogogo ogpgpg I think they’re all far left anti-Capitalist and Anarchist. The difference is Mutualism has more Individualist pursuits to an extent. Others have a more collective society approach. In my opinion the individual and greater collective are symbiotic and what is good for society is good for the individual. Like they aren’t completely incompatible. And economy is a social endeavor. But regardless it’s all libertarian leftism.

  7427. Vorawind That’s funny. Revolutionary Catalonia achieved a Stateless society without hierarchies and were prosperous and happy. Anarchism isn’t chaos it’s order without government.

  7432. Jose Mendoza I think “left-authoritarianism” is a contradiction. I understand what people mean by that, people who say they believe in leftists ideals but try to coerce it. But the thing is left-right spectrum is about government types, and no left wing ideologue supports authoritarian methods or leadership. The furthest left would be Anarchism and the furthest right would be Fascism or Totalitarianism. Socialism is a socioeconomic organization, not a government. Therefore one can want a Socialist economy with authoritarian government, which is Marxist-Leninism. Leninism unfortunately became the popular revolutionary Socialism and it has lead to all these tyrannical Socialist States under right wing forms of government. Capitalism has also been under right wing governments. Such as Fascists who made use of the hyper form of Capitalism, Corporatism. Or such as Capitalism in Chile under dictator Pinochet. The left wing Socialist schools, those Lenin called “infants of the left” include Democratic Socialism (aka evolutionary Marxism, or Liberal Socialism informed by liberal political ideals such as democracy, republicanism, grassroots participatory democracy), Council Communism or Libertarian Marxism, and Libertarian Socialism (aka Anarchism) etc...

So Socialist markets, not capitalist ones.

  7437. StonedAurelius the amount of bullshit in your statements. Statists lol I guess the Syndicalists should have stayed pacifist surrounded by Fascists and Marxist-Leninists. Decentralized planning and worker owned syndicates are “states” now. I’m not going to claim the Revolution was perfect example of Anarchist society but they were important. Social Anarchists and Individualist Anarchists have had important revolutions showcasing communist and market anarchist models to learn from, more than we can say about “Anarcho-Capitalism” where bosses and labor exploitation would exist in plutocratic states. Anyone supportive of hierarchies isn’t anarchist.

But progressivism wasn’t an effect of Donald Trump, it was due to Bernie Sanders going to a higher platform to express his policies. I know the political spectrum where the parties lie. Centrist corporate democrats are as much against the people’s interest as are right wing elitists. You didn’t have to explain all that, just about everyone following this channel understands that.

  7448.  @MrMalcolm900  the right hates feminism, which is liberal not radical, because they fundamentally are ignorant of social sciences and sociology in particular. I know real radical feminism, it’s called anarcha-feminism. Anarchism is the most libertarian ideology and it’s the anti-authoritarian wing of socialism. Left Wing = less authority and hierarchy the further Left you go. Last I checked radical leftists like anarchists, communists, and socialists are the only ones advocating children’s liberations and kids being freed from indoctrination of traditional familial structures. American Anarchists like Benjamin Tucker treated their children like beings with free will and let them find their own individuality. Leftists are also at the forefront of libertarian education like the Modern School movement. Note these are radicals like me, anarchists, not milquetoast liberals. Liberalism ceased to be the furthest left position after libertarian socialism/anarchism developed in the 19th century.

  7473. wyatt casper well one of Proudhon’s critics was an Anarcho-Communist Joseph DeJacque. He coined the term Libertarian while Proudhon coined Anarchism in its modern meaning. They were both libertarian socialists and anarchists with differing ideals on what constitutes an autonomous and egalitarian society. The communist thought communes and collective ownership were the way to go, Proudhon thought Mutualist markets. And true enough anarchist communism was a crude ideal and philosophical social science during this time, and it was Proudhon who would give greater influence and development to the fully realized schools that would become Anarcho Collectivism and Communism. They are all Anarchism and Libertarianism. This is where DeJacque disagreed with Proudhon though: In his polemic with Proudhon on women's emancipation, Déjacque urged Proudhon to push on 'as far as the abolition of the contract, the abolition not only of the sword and of capital, but of property and authority in all their forms,' and refuted the commercial and wages logic of the demand for a 'fair reward' for 'labour' (labour power). Déjacque asked: 'Am I thus... right to want, as with the system of contracts, to measure out to each — according to their accidental capacity to produce — what they are entitled to?' The answer given by Déjacque to this question is unambiguous: 'it is not the product of his or her labour that the worker has a right to, but to the satisfaction of his or her needs, whatever may be their nature.' [...] For Déjacque, on the other hand, the communal state of affairs — the phalanstery 'without any hierarchy, without any authority' except that of the 'statistics book' — corresponded to 'natural exchange,' i.e. to the 'unlimited freedom of all production and consumption; the abolition of any sign of agricultural, individual, artistic or scientific property; the destruction of any individual holding of the products of work; the demonarchisation and the demonetarisation of manual and intellectual capital as well as capital in instruments, commerce and buildings." And while Collectivism surely isn’t Communism as it argues for the use of wages in labor notes, certain Anarcho-Collectivists say it’s a viable path towards Communism. And while different they are closely linked as it was Anarcho-Collectivists (itself influenced by Proudhon and Mutualism) who gave way towards and influenced Anarcho-Communism.

  7474. wyatt casper you seem to be too narrow in your anarchist ideals. I did not say Proudhon was a Free Market Anarchist, but a libertarian market socialist. Mutualism would sustain a market economy where labor would trade and exchange products and goods of reciprocal or equal value. And it is Mutualism that influenced Free Market Anarchists and Bukunin and Kropotkin and their respective schools. The difference between Mutualism and Free Market Anarchism is Mutualists emphasize worker associative organization and cooperative federations. The Market Anarchists don’t care whether someone joins an association or is independently self employed. While I did use wiki the passages I posted are real and available anywhere viable. I just chose the most convenient. The Anarcho-Communist ideals were in development in contemporary with Proudhon, as well as Marxism. Mutualism ultimately would help give form to proper Social Anarchist intellectual schools. And Godwin is recognized as a philosophical anarchist. Anarchism was an ideology that took several intellectual social sciences, philosophies, and figures to develop into Anarchism. Hence the several strains of Social and Individualist, Decentralized planning and Free Market all Libertarian Socialist. Proudhon developed the first proper school of Anarchism. But just as well ideals for the communist strain were in the air in contemporary with Proudhon. Even Marx, while not a Marxist, was a contemporary developing his ideals for a Communist society, which ultimately is defined as a stateless egalitarian society with common ownership of the means of production, even among the Marxists. Meaning the ideal of a Communist society was always stateless and therefore influential to the anti-Statist branch of socialism. Saying the philosophers that lead to Anarcho-Communism weren’t real anarchists is ignorant. You don’t get to discredit an entire school by dismissing it’s influence to the movement. Anarcho-Communism ultimately became the biggest strain of Anarchism. I don’t see the dogma in voluntary associations of communes collectively owning the means of production. It’s voluntary. I’m an Anarchist without hyphens so ultimately a libertarian world would see vast social experimentation of all the strains of Anarchism. Anarcho-Communists neighboring Collectivists, neighboring Mutualists, neighboring Free Market Anarchists etc... every autonomous society free to choose their way.

  7477. David Stewart where the hell do you get that to me you saying Europe has a more efficient system is “anti-American” Saying several European countries have more efficient structures and responses would be an accurate statement. Just as it’s accurate to say the United States like Italy has a poor response to the crises. This crises and it’s response is not dependent on economic systems more so than government action and inaction. Whether the economy is capitalist or command, government can take necessary responses to a crises. Here the government is more concerned with corporate interest and the economy. Whereas governments in Taiwan, South Korea, Spain etc... are more concerned about public health risk and care. Then you have a government like China where it is more concerned in containing the virus and shifting blame on it’s initial handling and outbreak. As you can see David nuance speaks an accurate tale, and I agree that the US is handling this crisis poorly and disgustingly so. And just so you know I’m anti-capitalist.

  7481. yoda yoda no actually it’s about living in a free society. I’m socially progressive. That doesn’t mean I think government can control who anyone can service in their own business anymore than they can control who can marry or what is acceptable in personal lives. If there are stores that are that socially intolerant then okay anyone that’s cool with lgbtq+ would just not support that establishment. Point is Government should not be social engineering lives. This coming from my libertarian socialist perspective. People should be free to sleep with anyone of consensual age, be free to polyamorous relationships free to love, free to do whatever in their personal lives. Government isn’t a social engineering institution, government shouldn’t be a thing in my ideal world. But whether you’re socially progressive or conservative.... in a liberal society you should share liberal values of civil libertarianism. Like a said a social conservative doesn’t have to like or personally accept gay marriage, but they’ll have to tolerate that in a liberal society government cannot dictate who marries and if it’s allowed. People have civil liberties and civic rights.

  7482. Prince JellyFish that’s an excellent point. If you were visiting outside of that community you’d kind of wouldn’t have that argument as you would where you live. Seeing as I support decentralized forms of government the most important would be local. I would say in the end the free association is best. Most regressive attitudes would be found in southern states. I’d say if I an Hispanic were refused service for being Hispanic, I would let the community know this establishment refuses service to me out of a bigoted sense. Anyone that doesn’t want that kind of attitude in the community would boycott and refuse to associate with that establishment and person. In the end lack of income and clients would push them out of the community or they may apologize to the the public and community and people might start doing business again. In a more bigoted area where the larger community has those bigoted beliefs well what is to be done? If I had a business I’d refuse service to anyone I know is bigoted, even though that is easy to hide unlike ethnicity. Ultimately I believe people would live in places they feel comfortable with themselves. No lgbt or colored person would live in a predominantly racist community. And look for more enlightened communities to associate. And this would be my stance on it. Associate with communities that have the same values, and refuse association with those that don’t. The reason for this is in the long run the social progressive stance wins. As generations come people are more tolerable and progressive, not caring about old social norms. In a free society there will be bigots and regressive attitudes in some places, but we would want the same liberties and freedom of association with who we want. I believe this better than State coercion, for it’s that same State that has in the past tolerated and accepted racism, sexism, bigotry etc... with actual legislation and discrimination in public institutions. Instead of serving liberal values and protecting the rights and liberties of people. Our government’s role is one of serving and protecting those rights and liberties not social engineering to it’s benefits. An interesting tidbit. While the fervor for equality was understood, during Civil Rights all public schools and services should have been integrated without fault, as they’re government institutions. They didn’t have to coerce association where it wasn’t warranted. As Killer Mike said it actually hurt the black community. Black businesses were lost that were successful as the black community did business with itself. But forcing to associate where people weren’t ready and didn’t want to only exacerbated the tensions and issues. Of course the black community should have always been free to do business with whom they please, but forcibly integrating with people that hated them hurt the community and set them back. Black economy would have thrived more had black businesses remained within the community, and eventually as subsequent generations come and cultural barriers broke through music and entertainment media, generations of youth would freely associate with each other in schools and break those bigot barriers freely. I genuinely believe in the long run social progressivism is inevitable and along the way we do not need coercion but breaking the barriers slowly through free association and valuing each other’s freedoms. The State likes to make us believe one is the enemy or is trying to force our way of living. This would be less an issue if everyone knew they shared a sense of freedom. Your argument may be may stronger with another thing I support. The LTV tax where anyone that deems to privatize public utilities or commons will be taxed and that be served to the community. The community may decide what to do with that compensation.

  7483. Prince JellyFish it’s also Georgism/geoism based on American political economist Henry George’s ideals. It’s the influence for the game Monopoly to teach even kids the problems with land monopoly. Ultimately I’m beyond LVT, support occupancy and use, but so long as we have government LVT is great. It’s amazing how the US hasn’t implemented it. Overall bigots are the minority. And they are only a problem if they have influence in government and power institutions. The majority of people don’t care for bigotry, the State just likes divide and conquering to keep the underclasses from uniting.

  7484.  @yuh1592  he wasn’t a fascist, he was a liberal corporatist

  7485.  @yuh1592  I’m a libertarian socialist. And literally FDR and the New Deal was liberal corporatism. A liberal and watered down corporatist economic system that is not as complete as fascist corporatism based in nationalist syndicalism. Liberal corporatism has been the prominent economic doctrine since post-WW2 thanks to Cold War fear mongering and social democratic groups in the conflict of not wanting full State Socialism and addressing the mess of unfettered liberal capitalism. Forms of liberal corporatism include the Nordic social democracy model, German ordoliberalism, French Dirigisme, and what’s called social market economy. But clearly you haven’t read much on the matter. If you want to understand actual Fascism, read actual Fascist philosophers and literature. Fascists supported the capitalist mode of production, but were anti-liberal capitalism. They wanted the Corporative State, a nationalist Syndicalist organism of labor and business interests. “Fascism entirely agrees with Mr. Maynard Keynes, despite the latter’s prominent position as a Liberal. In fact, Mr. Keynes’ excellent little book, The End of Laissez-Faire (1936) might, so far as it goes, serve as a useful introduction to fascist economics. There is scarcely anything to object to in it and there is much to applaud.” - Mussolini on Keynesian economics, the basis of the New Deal and liberal corporatism. Liberals think the State serves capitalists. Fascists believe in the capitalists serving the State, as said by the English Fascist Oswald Mosley. One of the points of Fascists was liberal capitalists being too individualist, and under Fascism all classes serve the national interest and State. Fascism is after all nationalist collectivism. But indeed the closest the USA came to fascism economically was the New Deal, as it was a corporatist model, the same economic model advocated by fascism. Fascist’s greatest threat was socialism but they also persecuted liberalism. Fascists were as anti-liberal as they were anti-socialist.

  7486.  @yuh1592  libertarians socialism or anarchism is the original expression of socialism that predated Marxism and State Socialism. In fact it was Proudhon who coined the term Scientific Socialism, and in his later life Karl Marx agreed with much of the libertarian socialism in his support of the Paris Commune. Critique of the Goethe Program and The Civil War in France were Marx’s latest political expression and the catalyst of libertine Marxism of the council communists, and libertarian Marxist figures like Rosa Luxemburg and Anton Pannekoek.

  7487.  @yuh1592  I don’t disagree with George Jackson. Anarchists have been critical of the State and welfare capitalism. It’s Marxist movements that turned to concessions and social democracy. Until abandoning all Marxist roots. And no I don’t believe in Vanguard Party and centralized State. Ultimately they just end up participating in global capitalism. Not to mention the striking prediction anarchists made on what Marxist statism can lead to “The leaders of the Communist Party, namely Mr. Marx and his followers, will concentrate the reins of government in a strong hand. They will centralize all commercial, industrial, agricultural, and even scientific production, and then divide the masses into two armies — industrial and agricultural — under the direct command of state engineers, who will constitute a new privileged scientific and political class.” 1873. “The Dictatorship of the Proletariat... In reality it would be for the proletariat a barrack regime where the standardized mass of men and women workers would wake, sleep, work and live to the beat of a drum; for the clever and learned a privilege, of governing: and for the mercenary minded, attracted by the State Bank, a vast field of lucrative jobbery.” 1869. “The programe of the International is very happily explicit: the emancipation of the workers can only be gained by the workers themselves. Is it not astonishing that Marx has believed it possible to graft on this never-the-less so precise declaration, which he publically drafted himself, his scientific socialism? That is to say, the organization of the government of the new society by socialistic scientists and professors - the worst of all, despotic governments! 1872. If you’re Marxist-Leninist in a developed nation then you clearly haven’t actually learned what Marx himself said. “Someday the worker must seize political power in order to build up the new organization of labor; he must overthrow the old politics which sustain the old institutions, if he is not to lose Heaven on Earth, like the old Christians who neglected and despised politics. But we have not asserted that the ways to achieve that goal are everywhere the same. You know that the institutions, mores, and traditions of various countries must be taken into consideration, and we do not deny that there are countries -- such as America, England, and if I were more familiar with your institutions, I would perhaps also add Holland -- where the workers can attain their goal by peaceful means. This being the case, we must also recognize the fact that in most countries on the Continent the lever of our revolution must be force; it is force to which we must some day appeal in order to erect the rule of labor.” - Marx in Hague The modern Marxist movement should at this point be less Lenin and Mao, and more Luxemburg and Pannekoek. “If [the proletariat] should and must at once undertake socialist measures in the most energetic, unyielding and unhesitant fashion, in other words, exercise a dictatorship, but a dictatorship of the class, not of a party or of a clique – dictatorship of the class, that means in the broadest possible form on the basis of the most active, unlimited participation of the mass of the people, of unlimited democracy.” — Rosa Luxemburg

  7488. @Yelli Jarvis a direct and participatory democracy where popular assembly create policy and delegates are elected to carry out and administer those policies. They are elected for an imperative mandate not to govern or rule. They are subject to immediate recall and rotational positions. This is what libertarians advocate for. And it isn’t majoritarian mob rule for democracy is only viable at a decentralized municipal or local level. Any larger organization would have to be built on free association and federal agreement.

Your ridiculous implication is that children have the cognitive capacity to know they’re straight or cisgender but not trans? That’s not only illogical but gets to the core of the issue among conservatives, they have this erroneous claim that heteronormativity is any more normal and natural than other sexual proclivities and gender identities. You think there’s a default when nature scoffs off such notions. The problem is your socialized conditioning into following the status quo, and traditional coding of practices and any dissent causing a reaction without reason. It’s just “tradition for tradition’s sake” and a visceral reaction to maintaining the privileges of several groups among society. In this case the privilege that cisheteronormativity holds among the social structures artificially built

  7500. I’m starting to think many of the political elites of the party and liberal media were in cahoots to start the narrative of pulling Biden out when he does bad on national television. Despite all the talk the DC insiders know Biden is losing it every week. The media will have their ratings as they push the narrative everyone actually knew, that Biden is old and could not handle a second term. But it seems they’re hedging their bets as Biden will likely not willingly step Asia and they’ve already been pushing the crypt keeper hard for months leading, knowing how stupid they look. So they’re going to balance the story and both support Biden yet call out his old man blunders. If they find a replacement they’d push hard that he needs to go until then it’s going to be half/half. In the end it’s not Biden who’ll be president if he wins. His staff, advisors, and cabinet will be making the decisions. Which is better than Trump still.

  7512. Erick Guzman I don’t know the Individualist Free Market Anarchists (libertarian socialists) were supportive of the Knights of Labor. True not all labor unions were socialists but they found allies among socialists. And there were calls for preventing capitalism in the mid 19th century and later to become a post capitalist society. Such as the Mill girls that wasn’t about “the mills belong to those that work them.” Several labor unions were about labor rights and collective bargaining, but they fought alongside socialists against the capital ruling interests. And several unions were socialist. The Haymarket massacre really alienated labor unions from socialist radicals but that turned out to be hurtful as capitalists were able to get more out of collective bargaining than labor wanted. The State was successful in breaking up the coalition of labor organization. Also early on Knights of Labor were calling for no rent. The coalition was diverse however Jo Labadie was already an anarchist by this time, having been influenced by Benjamin Tucker. He was also very active with the Knights of Labor and had been in the forefront of labor agitation in Detroit for several years. And you’re right those workers had concern for family, culture (a working class culture), and religion was personal. The workers clashed with the Church when they tried to calm the workers and said their desires are “pie in the sky.” This influencing the song pie in the sky in protest. Here’s the thing, leftism isn’t about being socio-culturally progressive or conservative. It is about wanting less authority and greater egalitarianism. Hence why anarchism is noted as the most far left position.

The anarchist-communist Joseph Dejacque coined the term “libertarian.” The socialist Pierre J Proudhon was the “Father of Anarchism.” Anarchism, aka libertarian socialism, is the only anti-statist, anti-government political ideology that seeks to abolish the State and government for a federation of free associations. As the American libertarian socialist Benjamin Tucker said it: “Anarchism, may be described as the doctrine that all the affairs of men should be managed by individuals or voluntary associations, and that the State should be abolished.”

Police is a state institution that has always been the enemy of the working class against Capital. As the actual saying goes “One bad apple spoils the bunch.” It’s why historically socialists maintain Syndicalist militias and seek to revolutionize community protection outside of the State. Going back to the man himself: “I have no particular love for the idealized “worker” as he appears in the bourgeois Communist’s mind, but when I see an actual flesh-and-blood worker in conflict with his natural enemy, the policeman, I do not have to ask myself which side I am on.” - George Orwell

  7538.  @c.j.giordano2129  The Soviet Union was Marxist not anarchist. Libertarian socialism existed before Marx’s State Socialism, and continues to exist. Anarchism is anti-statist socialism. Again read a book. Look up Josiah Warren the first American anarchist, Pierre J Proudhon, Benjamin Tucker, Mikhail Bakunin, Peter Kropotkin. All socialists, all anarchists. Put down the State propaganda and actually study history. You like to claim you are against State authoritarianism, well then what better expression than anarchism. The first person to call himself Anarchist was Proudhon, the most radical political theorist of his time. He formulated the first genuine anti-government philosophy, and was an intellectual rival to Karl Marx. Here is how Proudhon described his ideals: “Under the law of association, transmission of wealth does not apply to the instruments of labour, so cannot become a cause of inequality. We are socialists under universal association, ownership of the land and of the instruments of labour is social ownership. We want the mines, canals, railways handed over to democratically organised workers' associations. We want these associations to be models for agriculture, industry and trade, the pioneering core of that vast federation of companies and societies, joined together in the common bond of the democratic and social Republic.” Socialism doesn’t need government, that’s the Marxist school. Though even Marx’s goal was the abolition of State and government for a stateless communists social order. Anarchism is the anti-authoritarian school of socialism and it developed before Marx and the German school came on the scene.

  7539.  @c.j.giordano2129  I’m just saying you have a state propaganda view of socialism. The first critics of Marxist socialism were the libertarian socialists, they predicted what would happen should they implement their ideals and lo and behold the USSR proved the libertarians right. You sound ridiculous and ahistorical given that anarchism is a socialist movement, so conflating socialism with authoritarianism is the result of poor American government education. Never mind the fact that socialists died fighting against the robber barons, struggled to implement the 8 hour workday people enjoy today, and died fighting for labor rights against state and police. It’s an insult to the many libertarian socialists that died fighting Fascism, and even the Soviet Union. I bring up anarchism because it’s inconvenient proof to your painting all socialists as authoritarian and statist. The fact that Orwell was a socialist and is synonymous with anti-authoritarian should tell you that the picture that socialism is authoritarian is bullshit propaganda that the ruling class indoctrinates you with. Otherwise you’ll start looking into libertarian socialism, and American figures like Josiah Warren and Lysander Spooner, or start thinking about industrial republicanism. The people of China, North Korea, Cuba aren’t feeling socialism, they are fleeing authoritarian states and governments. I know for a fact the third world views neoliberalism and the USA an evil empire that seeks to exploit their labor and resources. Nelson Mandela On the U.S. war with Iraq: "If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America. They don't care for human beings." You may not even understand that the underdeveloped world would rather have an authoritarian Marxist state than be a colony for Western imperialism and mercantilist capitalism. It’s not different then American colonists overthrowing British imperial forces and forming a stronger centralized government (US Constitution) to uphold their winnings, and appeasing the land and slave owning elites to maintain the union. Mandela on Castro and the Cuban revolution: "From its earliest days, the Cuban Revolution has also been a source of inspiration to all freedom-loving people. We admire the sacrifices of the Cuban people in maintaining their independence and sovereignty in the face of the vicious imperialist-orquestrated campaign to destroy the impressive gain made in the Cuban Revolution. ... Long live the Cuban Revolution. Long live comrade Fidel Castro."

  7540.  @c.j.giordano2129  There are two economic schools of Anarchism; Mutualism and Communism. The primary aspects of mutualism are free association, free banking, reciprocity in the form of mutual aid, workplace democracy, workers' self-management, gradualism and dual power. Mutualism is often described by its proponents as advocating an anti-capitalist free market. Mutualists argue that most of the economic problems associated with capitalism each amount to a violation of the cost principle, or as Josiah Warren interchangeably said, the cost the limit of price. Mutualism holds that producers should exchange their goods at cost-value using systems of contract. While Proudhon's early definitions of cost-value were based on fixed assumptions about the value of labor-hours, he later redefined cost-value to include other factors such as the intensity of labor, the nature of the work involved and so on. He also expanded his notions of contract into expanded notions of federation. Proudhon argued: “I have shown the contractor, at the birth of industry, negotiating on equal terms with his comrades, who have since become his workmen. It is plain, in fact, that this original equality was bound to disappear through the advantageous position of the master and the dependent position of the wage-workers. In vain does the law assure the right of each to enterprise. ... When an establishment has had leisure to develop itself, enlarge its foundations, ballast itself with capital, and assure itself a body of patrons, what can a workman do against a power so superior?”

  7541.  @c.j.giordano2129  Dual power is the process of building alternative institutions to the ones that already exist in modern society. Originally theorized by Proudhon, it has become adopted by many anti-state movements such as agorism and autonomism. Proudhon described it as follows: “Beneath the governmental machinery, in the shadow of political institutions, out of the sight of statemen and priests, society is producing its own organism, slowly and silently; and constructing a new order, the expression of its vitality and autonomy.”
    1
  7542.  @c.j.giordano2129  Mutualists argue that association is only necessary where there is an organic combination of forces. An operation that requires specialization and many different workers performing their individual tasks to complete a unified product, i.e. a factory. In this situation, workers are inherently dependent on each other as without association they are related as subordinate and superior, master and wage-slave. An operation that can be performed by an individual without the help of specialized workers does not require association. Proudhon argued that peasants do not require societal form and only feigned association for the purposes of solidarity in abolishing rents, buying clubs and so on. He recognized that their work is inherently sovereign and free. In commenting on the degree of association that is preferable, Proudhon wrote: “In cases in which production requires great division of labour, it is necessary to form an association among the workers ... because without that they would remain isolated as subordinates and superiors, and there would ensue two industrial castes of masters and wage workers, which is repugnant in a free and democratic society. But where the product can be obtained by the action of an individual or a family, ... there is no opportunity for association.” For Proudhon, mutualism involved creating industrial democracy. Under mutualism, workers would no longer sell their labour to a capitalist but rather work for themselves in co-operatives. Proudhon urged "workers to form themselves into democratic societies, with equal conditions for all members, on pain of a relapse into feudalism". This would result in "capitalistic and proprietary exploitation, stopped everywhere, the wage system abolished, equal and just exchange guaranteed".

  7543.  @c.j.giordano2129  Mutualists support mutual credit and argue that free banking should be taken back by the people to establish systems of free credit. They contend that banks have a monopoly on credit, just as capitalists have a monopoly on the means of production and landlords have a monopoly on land. Banks are essentially creating money by lending out deposits that do not actually belong to them, then charging interest on the difference. Mutualists argue that by establishing a democratically run mutual savings bank or credit union, it would be possible to issue free credit so that money could be created for the benefit of the participants rather than for the benefit of the bankers. Individualist anarchists noted for their detailed views on mutualist banking include Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, William Batchelder Greene and Lysander Spooner. Needless to say anarchists are more free market radicals than any capitalist can claim considering many of us want the abolishment of the State and letting the free market reign. Because libertarian socialists aren’t opposed to market economy, but we are opposed to capitalism. In What Is Mutualism?, Clarence Lee Swartz wrote: “It is, therefore, one of the purposes of Mutualists, not only to awaken in the people the appreciation of and desire for freedom, but also to arouse in them a determination to abolish the legal restrictions now placed upon non-invasive human activities and to institute, through purely voluntary associations, such measures as will liberate all of us from the exactions of privilege and the power of concentrated capital.”

But they must accept their submissiveness to owners and get paid whatever the forces of the market that don't always favor them. They're just a ,mundane machine, but hey they have the freedom to not work and live outside of standard society if they don't like it. Unless they know their place and accept their life as workers, it's their greatest accomplishment they can hope for.

You’re just not knowledgeable enough to understand what Socialism and Communism actually is other than what Capitalist nation’s told you.

The Centrist Modern Liberalism refers to the political philosophy that in the modern Capitalist society the government must take a role in ensuring individualism and prosperity of freedom thrives from the disparities and inequalities of Capitalism. Such as regulation and reforms to ensure social and economic justice. Economically Keynesian inspired. In America it started to take root in FDR’s administration, the New Deal, and Four Freedoms. (The Freedom From Want, Freedom From Fear, Freedom of Expression, and Freedom of Worship.) Modern Liberalism aka Social Liberalism took root in most of the developed world where they have nationalized healthcare, medicine, college education and such reforms. In America the Modern Liberal ideology and Social Democratic ideals which essentially blended with Modern Liberalism has been gradually abandoned for neoliberalism and Corporate influence in the political arena.

  7620. The Polish Latino from Philly the further left you go the more egalitarian social structures and less coercion. Anarchism is the most leftist. Liberalism is to the right of Libertarianism/Anarchism but still left wing leaning. The difference is Liberalism still has political limited government and a State. As for economic systems they can coexist with any type of government structure. Such as Socialism being Libertarian (Communism/Anarchism), Liberal (Democratic Socialism/Evolutionary Marxism), or Statist (Marxism-Leninism a more centralized State authority and therefore by government model right wing). Socialism can also support market based economy such as Market Socialisms like Mutualism or Free Market Anarchism, which are on the Libertarian side. Capitalism itself is a market economy that is ruled by capital. It is one kind of a market economy and leftists see it as fundamentally right wing as it is sustained by the State and creates class hierarchies. Market Socialists see it as a corruption of original classical liberalism which did promote labor theory of value with figures like David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill, Thomas Hodgskin etc.... Market Socialists insist that following the principles of free market liberalism we would have a socialist market system. Even the capitalist system can exist in diverse government models. Such as liberal capitalism (liberal economics in favor of capital), a Pinochet neoliberal dictatorship, or Fascist Corporatism

Hell as a LibSoc I always push for self management and worker’s associations. The abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass declared "Now I am my own master" when he took a paying job. Later in life, he concluded to the contrary "experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other". Where is this history taught? Capitalism is the enemy of black Americans, they were brought here as capital. This is why as a libertarian socialist I advocate free associations of anarcho-communists and free market socialism or anti-capitalism aka libertarian market economy. Your talking point about wage slavery being good is just another capitalist propaganda for maintaining class society and equating capitalism with liberal economics. Classical liberalism isn’t 19th century capitalism.

[...] We want the mines, canals, railways handed over to democratically organised workers' associations.

  7635.  @reasonerenlightened2456  looks like you aren’t so enlightened. You know classical liberals were the precursors to socialism and libertarianism? From Adam Smith’s crusade against landlords and rents, to David Ricardo laying foundations for class analysis and expanding on Smith’s labor theory, to John Stuart Mills support of socialism over capitalism, and Thomas Hodgskin’s work advocating for labor to maintain it’s wealth and capital. “The form of association, however, which if mankind continue to improve, must be expected in the end to predominate, is not that which can exist between a capitalist as chief, and work-people without a voice in the management, but the association of the labourers themselves on terms of equality, collectively owning the capital with which they carry on their operations, and working under managers elected and removable by themselves.” - John Stuart Mill
    1
  7636.  @reasonerenlightened2456  While mutualism was popularized by the writings of anarchist philosopher Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and is mainly associated as an anarchist school of thought and with libertarian socialism, its origins as a type of socialism goes back to the 18th-century labor movement in Britain first, then France and finally to the working-class Chartist movement. Mutualists are opposed to individuals receiving income through loans, investments and rent under capitalist social relations. Although personally opposed to this type of income, Proudhon expressed that he had never intended "to forbid or suppress, by sovereign decree, ground rent and interest on capital. I think that all these manifestations of human activity should remain free and voluntary for all: I ask for them no modifications, restrictions or suppressions, other than those which result naturally and of necessity from the universalization of the principle of reciprocity which I propose." As long as they ensure the worker's right to the full product of their labor, mutualists support markets and property in the product of labor, differentiating between capitalist private property (productive property) and personal property (private property). Mutualists argue for conditional titles to land, whose ownership is legitimate only so long as it remains in use or occupation (which Proudhon called possession), a type of private property with strong abandonment criteria. This contrasts with capitalist non-proviso labor theory of property, where an owner maintains a property title more or less until one decides to give or sell it.

Democrats are not an opposition party, they’re center right neoliberal enablers. They play games with Republicans rather than actually pose real solutions. The parties have a deal of keeping each other in power. When it comes to it, history shows capitalists break fascist out of fear of labor organization and liberation. Obama had a supermajority and did not make abortion a Constitutional right, did the right wing think tank solution for healthcare, bailed out Wall Street, and once again money went up instead of distributing. If you don’t know that Democrats are the real traditionalist conservatives, you won’t see the Republicans for the far right extremists they are. And fail to see that this country hasn’t had an actual Left since the government murdered all the leftist leaders and movements in the 60s, 70s, 80s.

Socialism isn’t government interference just take it from the first libertarian socialist to call it anarchism in the 19th century: “To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be place[d] under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.” And: “Under the law of association, transmission of wealth does not apply to the instruments of labour, so cannot become a cause of inequality. [...] We are socialists [...] under universal association, ownership of the land and of the instruments of labour is social ownership. [...] We want the mines, canals, railways handed over to democratically organised workers' associations. [...] We want these associations to be models for agriculture, industry and trade, the pioneering core of that vast federation of companies and societies, joined together in the common bond of the democratic and social Republic.”— Pierre J Proudhon The State has no role to play in genuine libertarian socialism.

  7642. DynamicWorlds yes but a conservative can be leftist if they don’t seek to impose their social views on others via power institutions like government, economics, or religion etc.... The problem is there are social progressives and conservatives that would social engineer to coerce others to their views. This isn’t necessary. Ultimately social progressivism in the long run wins out, conservative norms are left behind. As an egoist I do not believe in the legitimacy of social norms, mores, conditions, and traditional views. They are just “spooks” that inhibit individual freedom.

  7643. DynamicWorlds as I said in my post before, civic marriage cannot discriminate and should be available to all. But churches if they feel like can’t be made to marry, which isn’t really an issue as they aren’t. But when I say the government stay out of marriage means people be married as civilians in whatever form they want. Public institutions aren’t there for discrimination but for public service. Government cannot dictate what constitutes marriage and what doesn’t.

  7644. Jesse Grove anarchism is self governance instead of government over you. It is federation of free associations and popular assembly. While I get the movement in 20th century America for limited government was called libertarian it is an appropriated term taken form socialists. There is no libertarianism if there is government. Though on the way to anarchy I’d be fine with limited government if there is going to be government. Also libertarian socialists advocate either market socialism or libertarian communism since the 19th century. Free societies should be free to their own systems, so long as they keep to libertarian values. I advocate both anarchist communism and free market anarchism.

  7645. Michael Reed I’m not seeing that. Violence is a political tool. Unfortunately it’s unorganized and rioting for the sake of letting off steam. But were it organized riots like the Sons of Liberty and no civilians being harmed I wouldn’t really care about big corporations or fear of political parties. But they’re destroying small businesses which does nothing for the cause and is just giving opposition what they want. The rise in hate crimes and extremism has been of right wing groups. Groups like Boogaloo infiltrate these protests and instigate violence. That’s part of their agenda to start a “race war.” There is a history of right wing agitation to frame leftists. BLM is an organization, many black liberation organizations are Marxist and socialist like the Black Panthers. But as of now they have a platform of political reform on criminal justice. They aren’t out there arming the people like the Panthers did. Antifa is predominantly anarchist so they aren’t trying to grab powers, it’s just an anti-authoritarian direct action ideal. They aren’t a paramilitary branch of a party, it’s individuals going out to protest aggressively. All this propaganda corporate media dishes out daily to divide working class Americans I don’t buy it. There is violence going on out there but it does not justify the State’s actions. Word of advice never let the State dictate what is and isn’t justified, they are the biggest mass murderers and source of violence. Their’s is the only justified violence, and citizens out causing raucous isn’t part of their monopoly on violence. There are colored communities with grievances against the State and politicians. No one knows the crushing weight of the State like minorities. They aren’t the problem, the State and their propaganda wings like corporate media are. “God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13 states independant 11 years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.” — Thomas Jefferson letter to William Stephen Smith in response to Whiskey Rebellion “I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. Unsuccessful rebellions indeed generally establish the incroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions, as not to discourage them too much. It is a medecine necessary for the sound health of government." - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, Paris, January 30, 1787

  7646. Michael Reed liberals aren’t leftists. There isn’t a single leftist in mainstream American politics. Just centrist progressives, right neoliberals, and conservatives. Not a single socialist. Liberal social justice is only concerned with preserving the status quo overall. When you see anarchists, Marxists, and socialists of any kind being prominent figures in mainstream politics then we’ll talk. They blame the left for liberals.... there is nothing more politically incorrect than anti-statists and socialists. “And the only regime which, in the long run, will dare to permit freedom of speech is a socialist regime. If Fascism triumphs I am finished as a writer — that is to say, finished in my only effective capacity. That of itself would be a sufficient reason for joining a socialist party.” – George Orwell, “Why I Joined the Independent Labour Party”

  7647. Michael Reed When I say “unorganized” I mean there is no tactic, no specific targets. Preparing items isn’t organizing a plan. Even terrorists in the Middle East organize their attacks, because terrorism is a political method. One that only got negative connotations this last century. I’m not concerned with civilians rebelling a little, I think it’s refreshing. I’d be concerned if people just take the State boot without consequence. I don’t condone the destruction of small businesses or hurting others. But that doesn’t mean violence is evil and unjustified. I’m not letting propaganda tell me what is justified. As MLK said “riots are the language of the unheard. And we must condemn the cause of the riots as much as much as the violence”, paraphrasing. If these are youth letting off steam and anger so be it. They’re young and stupid. But I’ve seen right wingers infiltrating these protests to initiate the mayhem. To blame peaceful protestors. Everyone has an agenda, and some just enjoy the chaos. This is old news to anyone with insurrection experience and military knowledge.

  7657. M. Fink Well capitalism isn’t synonymous with markets. Markets existed long before a socioeconomic system of proprietors relying on wage work for the accumulation of wealth and capital. Capitalism is very much a system of the primacy of capital, the rule of wealth, plutocracy. And capitalism can work within a market economy as in liberal capitalism, but it is not inherent to free markets. Such as Corporate Capitalism of Fascist States, or State Capitalism. Classical liberals were even critical of capitalism, the word capitalist was a pejorative for those merchants and owners of capital whom received privileges and favors from State authority, so that they maintain monopolistic practices. Early liberal advocated for industrial democracy and what today is called Market Socialism. David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill, Rousseau, Thomas Hodgskin etc... several were self proclaimed socialists, as socialism was understood as those who hold the labor theory of value, and against the exploitation of labor by capital, or a ruling business elite. Hodgskin’s “Labour defended against the claims of Capital” is one of the earliest works of class struggle and socialist principle. Such sentiments continued in liberal circles unto Abraham Lincoln and the modern socialist movements. Yes there are actual leftist socialist strains opposed to Leninism and authoritarian state socialism. Socialism started in liberal thought and circles. Taking the ideals of classical liberals you’ll naturally come to an anti-capitalist market socialist ideology and model. Capitalism is simply making money cause you own a property, extract the surplus, and worker’s who create the value and wealth are left to a wage. As Lincoln said: "And, inasmuch [as] most good things are produced by labour, it follows that [all] such things of right belong to those whose labour has produced them. But it has so happened in all ages of the world, that some have laboured, and others have, without labour, enjoyed a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong, and should not continue. To [secure] to each labourer the whole product of his labour, or as nearly as possible, is a most worthy object of any good government."

  7687. Auditory Productions What socialists meant by “personal possessions” was distinctly different than what is meant by supporters of capitalism as “private property”. Basically, the “libertarian” right exploit, for their own ends, the confusion generated by the use of the word “property” by the likes of libertarian socialists like Benjamin Tucker to describe a situation of “possession.” Proudhon recognised this danger. He argued that “it is proper to call different things by different names, if we keep the name ‘property’ for the former [individual possession], we must call the latter [the domain of property] robbery, repine, brigandage. If, on the contrary, we reserve the name ‘property’ for the latter, we must designate the former by the term possession or some other equivalent; otherwise we should be troubled with an unpleasant synonym.” [What is Property?] A similar position was held by Anarchist/libertarian socialist John Beverley Robinson. He argued that there “are two kinds of land ownership, proprietorship or property, by which the owner is absolute lord of the land, to use it or to hold it out of use, as it may please him; and possession, by which he is secure in the tenure of land which he uses and occupies, but has no claim upon it at all if he ceases to use it.” Moreover, “[a]ll that is necessary to do away with Rent is to away with absolute property in land.” [Patterns of Anarchy] Joseph Labadie, likewise, stated that “the two great sub-divisions of Socialists” (anarchists and State Socialists) both “agree that the resources of nature — land, mines, and so forth — should not be held as private property and subject to being held by the individual for speculative purposes, that use of these things shall be the only valid title, and that each person has an equal right to the use of all these things. They all agree that the present social system is one composed of a class of slaves and a class of masters, and that justice is impossible under such conditions.” [What is Socialism?]

  7688. imaginepeace63 how about you use your head independently and refrain from soaking in propaganda talking points. Firstly, private property is not the distinctive aspect of capitalism -- exploitation of wage labour is. On the first issue, it is important to note that there are many different kinds of private property. If quoting Karl Marx is not too out of place: "Political economy confuses, on principle, two very different kinds of private property, one of which rests on the labour of the producer himself, and the other on the exploitation of the labour of others. It forgets that the latter is not only the direct antithesis of the former, but grows on the former's tomb and nowhere else. "In Western Europe, the homeland of political economy, the process of primitive accumulation is more or less accomplished . . . "It is otherwise in the colonies. There the capitalist regime constantly comes up against the obstacle presented by the producer, who, as owner of his own conditions of labour, employs that labour to enrich himself instead of the capitalist. The contradiction of these two diametrically opposed economic systems has its practical manifestation here in the struggle between them." [Capital, vol. 1] So, under capitalism, "property turns out to be the right, on the part of the capitalist, to appropriate the unpaid labour of others, or its product, and the impossibility, on the part of the worker, of appropriating his own product." In other words, property is not viewed as being identical with capitalism. "The historical conditions of [Capital's] existence are by no means given with the mere circulation of money and commodities. It arises only when the owner of the means of production and subsistence finds the free worker available on the market, as the seller of his own labour-power." Thus wage-labour, for Marx, is the necessary pre-condition for capitalism, not "private property" as such as "the means of production and subsistence, while they remain the property of the immediate producer, are not capital. They only become capital under circumstances in which they serve at the same time as means of exploitation of, and domination over, the worker." For Engels, "before capitalistic production" industry was "based upon the private property of the labourers in their means of production", i.e., "the agriculture of the small peasant" and "the handicrafts organised in guilds." Capitalism, he argued, was based on capitalists owning "social means of production only workable by a collectivity of men" and so they "appropriated . . . the product of the labour of others." Both, it should be noted, had also made this same distinction in the Communist Manifesto, stating that "the distinguishing feature of Communism is not the abolition of property generally, but the abolition of bourgeois property." Artisan and peasant property is "a form that preceded the bourgeois form" which there "is no need to abolish" as "the development of industry has to a great extent already destroyed it." This means that communism "deprives no man of the power to appropriate the products of society; all that it does is to deprive him of the power to subjugate the labour of others by means of such appropriation." In pre-capitalist social environments, when property is directly owned by the producer, capitalist defences of private property can be used against it. Even John Locke's arguments in favour of private property could be used against capitalism. As Murray Bookchin makes clear regarding pre-capitalist society: "Unknown in the 1640s, the non-bourgeois aspects of Locke's theories were very much in the air a century and a half later . . . [In an artisan/peasant society] a Lockean argument could be used as effectively against the merchants . . . to whom the farmers were indebted, as it could against the King [or the State]. Nor did the small proprietors of America ever quite lose sight of the view that attempts to seize their farmsteads and possessions for unpaid debts were a violation of their 'natural rights,' and from the 1770s until as late as the 1930s they took up arms to keep merchants and bankers from dispossessing them from land they or their ancestors had wrestled from 'nature' by virtue of their own labour. The notion that property was sacred was thus highly elastic: it could be used as effectively by pre-capitalist strata to hold on to their property as it could by capitalists strata to expand their holdings." To summarise, from an anarchist (and Marxist) perspective capitalism is not defined by "property" as such. Rather, it is defined by private property, property which is turned into a means of exploiting the labour of those who use it. For most anarchists, this is done by means of wage labour and abolished by means of workers' associations and self- management. To use Proudhon's terminology, there is a fundamental difference between property and possession.

  7689.  @mountainjay  the American Republic was literally founded on Enlightenment values like anti-clericalism and religious freedom. The liberal theology of Deism was agnostic and concerned with rationalism. Some like Jefferson expressed religion as a good tool for maintaining morals among the commoners, and to impose a social control on potentially worse impulses. Though history shows that’s not the case. European Christendom committed some of the worst atrocities known to history.

  7694.  @MCshortpower  they were right in the end. Slavery was ended by force and a centralized government that frankly overreached it’s parameters. The Constitution is a peace of paper worth only what the society allows. And throughout history many times the Constitution was not applied. By the point of Civil War we reached a point where the Federalists won in a strong central government that functioned more as a unitary rather than federal state, and it was clear the institution of slavery, a remnant of an imperial-colonial era was needed to end in force. The best solution would have been maintaining a decentralized state power, and rebellion and liberation of slaves through a second revolution, in the vein of Haiti’s rebellion. Since at this point slavery was ending through blood. Both Union and Confederate were tyrants in aspects; neither heroes. The Union was proven a sham, you either stay willingly, or the Federal government will keep you by force. And of course enough has been said of slavery and the southern plantation aristocracy.

In fact they eliminated jobs and all they do with their corporate welfare is buy more stock buybacks to make themselves richer. The economic model of this country is so hurtful to the average American it frustrates me they keep making decisions against their interest. Supply side economics and neo-liberalism are garbage and it's time to stop this foolishness.

  7712. AT THE CORE they are. Democratic Socialism is evolutionary Marxism. Socialism is worker’s ownership of the factors of production and post-Capitalist socioeconomic system. Social Democracy is working within Capitalism and reforms and regulations. Much like the Modern Liberalism of FDR. The problem is no one understands what actually is Socialism. It’s not Welfare and social programs. There’s a whole strain of Socialism that is anti-Statist aka traditional Anarchism. I myself am a Libertarian Socialist (Anarchism).
    1
  7713. AT THE CORE I think it funny you try to explain Socialism to a Socialist. The Soviets were Marxist-Leninist. This is one strain of Socialism informed by Lenin’s revolutionary politics and interpretation of Marxist thought. Lenin’s ideas included rule of the Vanguard Party, the elitist bureaucrats leading the worker’s, and an authoritarian top-bottom organization called Democratic Centrism. His ideas were always criticized by other Socialists who thought him too authoritarian, most notably Rosa Luxembourg. Socialism advocates social or worker’s ownership of the factors of production and a post-Capitalist classless socioeconomic system. Socialism isn’t opposed to markets depending on the school, but are against Capitalism. That is private ownership of the factors of production, wage labor, commodity production, profit interest etc... And not all Socialism advocates State control, Marxism does. Marx called for the worker’s to take over the State and develop a Socialist worker’s State. This didn’t mean it had to be a dictatorship or authoritarian. Indeed the only revolution to have Marx’s stamp of approval was the Paris Commune and that was a highly bottom-up worker’s democracy. As for Communism, it is one form of Socialism where there is Stateless, classless, and moneyless society and there is common ownership of the means and distribution. It has not been achieved by Marxist-Leninists. Anarchists came close. The progressives of today aren’t much different from Modern Liberals of the past in FDR’s days. They want reforms and regulations but aren’t looking beyond Capitalism. They aren’t Socialist really though they think they are. In truth they want to preserve Capitalism as FDR did. Social Democrats of the Nordic Countries have robust middle classes and successful Capitalists. That’s the model they want. They aren’t Socialists. Due to Marxist-Leninism everyone has this misconception about Socialism that it’s all State control, government doing things, social programs, authoritarianism etc.... Nope that was one Socialist strain it did not encompass all of Socialism. Socialism doesn’t need the State or government, it can be democratic and at it’s most extreme anarchist.

The gun culture promulgated from the far right and gun nuts is one of equating arms with manhood and thinking they’re fighting for liberty, when they just buy into the propaganda of the State and ruling class. I don’t see many right wing gun right groups advocating for local open carry and militia groups, or watchmen protection organizations. They just have fantasies of going against the most powerful military in the world and believing they are preparing for tyranny. The 2nd amendment was a defense of State’s from slave revolts, indigenous attacks, and white rebellions like Shay’s and Bacon’s Rebellions. Arms are a tool of insurrectionism and protection of communities and individual liberties. Not this fantasy of “law abiding citizens.” The very nature of arming a populace is to be prepared against the State as a deterrent from an individual rights stance.

  7735.  @Cunnysmythe  Consumer cooperatives utilize the cooperative principle of democratic member control, or one member/one vote. Most consumer cooperatives have a board of directors elected by and from the membership. The board is usually responsible for hiring management and ensuring that the cooperative meets its goals, both financial and otherwise. Democratic functions, such as petitioning or recall of board members, may be codified in the bylaws or organizing document of the cooperative. Most consumer cooperatives hold regular membership meetings (often once a year). As mutually owned businesses, each member of a society has a shareholding equal to the sum they paid in when they joined. Large consumers' co-ops are run much like any other business and require workers, managers, clerks, products, and customers to keep the doors open and the business running. In smaller businesses the consumer/owners are often workers as well. Consumers' cooperatives can differ greatly in start up and also in how the co-op is run but to be true to the consumers' cooperative form of business the enterprise should follow the Rochdale Principles.

  7750.  @antman1672  What a moron AnCap. Clearly you don't care to see the exploitative and greedy nature of Capitalism. The wage labor system makes it that an individual reaps the benefits of production and can accumulate capital at levels workers will never see. Explain GM outsourcing to Mexico with their tax cuts and welfare. Teddy Roosevelt was a leader that saw the corruption and danger Capitalism posed for democracy. You right libertarians are ridiculous. The moderate Republicans who are the Democratic party today are too far left for you conservative assholes, what else can we expect but uneducated deification of laissez-faire.
    1
  7751.  @thepolishlatinofromphilly9709  not necessarily. Left wing libertarians are opposed to any authoritative or coercive agent and supremely opposed to capitalism as such. Liberalism is the ideology of democratic-republics and a government by consent of the governed. Not to mention liberal economies. There are clear distinctions.
    1
  7752.  @antman1672  so you are a right-wing "libertarian" then. In case you didn't know the further left you go the more does government withers in the ideology. Whereas people owning their labor and production to distribute as needed towards the communities., it is self reliance of the laborer, and living more fulfilled lives than a wage laborer living to work and working to live. Your Night-watchman state is still in a capitalist framework where profit will always be the motivator and drive for people negotiating, thus the cycle of exploration is not eradicated.
    1
  7753.  @thepolishlatinofromphilly9709  Okay let's clear this. Libertarianism is not synonymous with liberalism. Both stem from the root liberty but they are different ideologies. Left libertarianism is synonymous with anarchism, not liberalism. Capiche.
    1
  7754.  @thepolishlatinofromphilly9709  I think I see what you mean. But libertarianism was the term used solely by anarchic groups that were fundamentally opposed to authority and capitalism. Liberalism is the ideology of liberal democracies and republics. Which I describe as center-left, but yeah it's a left wing ideal regardless. And yes Socialism and Anarchism is the far left. But I think it necessary to distinguish libertarianism (real left libertarianism) to liberalism, which is not far left, and usually economically right leaning. Right libertarianism is a joke and should just be called classical liberalism, for what it is. AnCaps, yeah I don't know what happened there.

  7759.  @LetsGetitBoah  that’s not even true. Jefferson was among the most democratic figures, and distrusted interference with the voting process by parties. He even argued that a little rebellion is good every now and then. What even matters a few lives lost when the people remind government who’s in charge? He didn’t argue for arrests, simply to quell their concerns and let them go. He felt that the people should govern themselves and safeguard their electoral process by decentralized political structures. “It has been thought that corruption is restrained by confining the suffrage to a few of the wealthier of the people: but it would be more effectually restrained by an extension of that to such numbers as would bid defiance to the means of corruption.” – Thomas Jefferson, 1785

If Clinton had won the Republicans would have won next election anyway cause she would have the same old status quo policies in place. Choosing between center right to right parties isn’t much of a difference. And believe me the economic stagnation of neoliberal and supply side economics is very much a factor in why far right movements are on the rise. It gives heart to be prejudice and make up scapegoats, and strong man leaders.

  7775. OriginalTharios As a matter of fact Orwell has it right. He was known as a fierce critic of authoritarianism in any form. He did not trust any system to be able to contain authoritarianism except true classless Democratic Socialism. He was right about the use of language to undermine freedom. As we have seen the Corporate world order lives attacking Socialism and equating it all with anti-liberty, Statism, and Marxist-Leninism. Conveniently keeping Libertarian Socialism and it’s more Democratic schools in the dark. It’s so bad people think Socialism means the government doing anything. He was right about the tendencies to use surveillance systems for the protection of the elite rule. Hell Captain America covered this in Winter Soldier. “Security” vs Privacy is now a political issue. The neoliberal world is under a multi-national Corporate-Statist Order. Where corporations ally with political bureaucrats to maintain a status quo of wealth and power. IngSoc (the elitist, powerful, wealthy, privileged) vs the proles (the proletariat, the working people, underclasses).

  7810.  @asimhussain8716  different when you’re comparing a political coalition for their chosen politics that we are seeing is the same old regressive reactionary backlash at progress we saw with abolition and desegregation. This is that same politics that we all see as the wrong side of history rebranded for targeting another minority. And we see these politics are quickly attacking our Republican institutions and government as seen with the sedition caucus and Jan 6 events. Seeing is believing, and we are seeing the death of actual Conservatism which is more progressive with every generation because it conserves the progress that has been achieved. Regressivism is in opposition to Burkean Traditionalism. This isn’t about a religious, ethnic, or racial group. This is countering a political group that is radicalizing far right into regressivism and reactionary anti-Republican politics of extreme nationalism and religious fundamentalism. What I want is for genuine Conservatives to take back the right and their party from these Regressives. Barry Goldwater warned everyone what would happen if these extremists and religious sycophants take over the Republican Party and we are seeing this now. True Conservatism is based on Institutional Traditionalism and pragmatic pessimism for gradual progress. Conservatives lament the replacement of Traditionalism with social conservatism and the regressivism of reactionaries that only ensure revolutionary fervor by preventing progress.

Don’t be surprised that there is a silent vote against this next election. Ever since the America Revolution this republic has struggled with maintaining it’s ideal of a liberal society against reactionary cultural conservatives and religious zealots.

  7816.  @LittleAl016  liberal democracies are constitutional republics to defend individual rights and liberties. I’m not saying the Constitution does it’s job, words on a page are only as strong as the culture. Which is why this country has never been exemplary of those liberal values. However the premise of it is a liberal republic. I understand representative democracy is a sham, and self government is only real when the people have autonomy. Which is why I’m a Bookchin Communalist. And as far as the Constitution goes, I’m a Spoonerite.

It is Capitalism that exploits, and creates disparity and inequality. Private property is not the same as personal property, it is not what we mean. The means of production should not be privatized for the accumulation of wealth to a minority. Indeed if you are ignorant of the subject, someone actually called Anarchism authoritarian lol, please find out more before speaking of it.

Warehouses full of the collective production on would grab whatever their labor is owed in clothes, appliances, groceries etc... Catalonia did this in an industrialized Spain so it’s not unfeasible. Instead of being paid in commodity workers would be rewarded in products the worker’s have made. There are many ways Anarchists propose exchange of goods and services whether by gift economies, anarchist markets, Mutualist exchange etc...

  7822. Hewlett Craphard this is mad late but no. There are Socialist forms of Markets, Socialism is as synonymous with command or planned economy as Capitalism is with market economy. My OP was distinguishing ideologies and asserting what Socialism actually is as an ideology. The collective ownership of factors of production, and recognizing class struggle and conflict, and that only in a classless society is freedom truly possible. Hence Socialism is a post-Capitalist socioeconomic philosophy. And this does not mean against Markets, many influential Socialists were for Market Economies, it means against the Capitalist mode of production and private property as ordained and protected by States and a labor class remains exploited and robbed of their value of labor. Adam Smith and David Ricardo were influential to the development of Socialism not just Capitalism. The fallacy is believing the misconception that Socialism means planned economy and Capitalism means market economy. Markets existed before and they don’t need Capitalism. Socialism and Capitalism are opposing socioeconomic ideologies and they are incompatible. When people say mixed economies they actually mean a blend of planned and market economic models. That is not the blending of Socialism and Capitalism, as planned economies are not exclusive to Socialism, and market economy is not exclusive to Capitalism.

  7831. Goldwater was the last prominent actual conservative. Soon the religious right took over the party and now it is a sham political organization that functions as a cult for conspiracists, religious fundamentalists, and corporate greed and corruption. A conservative American would be someone that is constitutionalist, and believe in a liberal society and democratic Republic. Modern Republicans aren’t conservatives but authoritarians. Democrats are the actual conservatives. As Chomsky said “The spectrum is broad, but in an odd sense, the spectrum is basically center to extreme right -- extreme right, way off the spectrum. The Republican Party about 20 years ago basically abandoned any pretense of being a normal political party." "What happened is that, during the whole neoliberal period, both parties shifted to the right, but the Republicans went way off the spectrum. They became so dedicated to the interests of the extreme wealthy and powerful that they couldn’t get votes. So they had to turn to other constituencies which are there, but were never politically mobilized: the Christian evangelicals, the nativists who are afraid that 'they’re taking our country away from us.'" Chomsky himself was referencing the work, and words, of conservative political scientist Norman Orstein.

  7852. D Melson you are living like a socialist, a market socialist. Socialism is about the worker being in charge of their own labor and owning their mean of production. Whereas capitalists just own property and get rich off the work of others.

  7853. Yo Mama definitely vote smarter. For those not looking for Democratic or parliamentary methods, direct action and organization. The working class united have all the power. Syndicalism must arise and radical unionization of trade laborers should form and let their voices heard. Argentinians have such organization at a small scale. But it is the worker’s solidarity we lack that is setting back progress as the privileged elites take all. I myself try to educate through non professional forums and mediums. I hope to start an effective true labor organization in the nearby future. Whether a more moderate democratic approach or effective direct action we can fight the privileged.

  7855. Rob McCune I’m pretty sure they’re Social Democrats. Democratic Socialists wouldn’t necessarily hide that Capitalism is incompatible with Democratic values. Warren’s platform has measures for incentivizing worker’s cooperatives and she’s barely out of the neoliberal bubble. You say they’re hiding they’re Socialists, but I doubt they’re playing such a game. They likely think Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism are one and the same. I’m telling you this country is politically illiterate, even the politicians. But I agree it’s important that American politics be shifted towards the left.

  7859. Patrick Rathbone Actually this country always had a religiosity to social and political life. While revolutionaries like the Founding Fathers were more prone to reason and liberalism, does not change the fact that religion, specifically Christian mores and life always played an influential role upon the nation. It was used for politics, for ethnic cleansing, and for Protestant Anglo-American dominance. It is a fact of history. Just look at our Presidential list, the overwhelming majority Anglo-American and Protestant. Paleoconservatives, Republicans, Alt-Right, white Nationalists all inherited this traditional American culture and still put much value upon their ideals of Christian tradition and Anglo-American culture. It is why they are the conservative right wing groups. They adhere to the Anglo-American Protestant way of life.

  7861.  @aibrainlet8041  As a Social Liberal/Social Democrat I would work with Socialists to move the American political landscape towards the left. I'm not for social ownership of the means of production, or getting rid of private property. Liberalism and any ideology left thereof are left wing though. And for Socialism to not be seen as an extreme political stance we would need a transition to leftist ideas. FDR did use social safety nets and welfare to save capitalism, and the Nordic countries aren't Socialist states and enjoy a free market. America needs to shift the political landscape towards the left, and the left has to rally together to do this. People like me want a reform of the system, Socialists want to revolutionize the system but first we must change American politics from right wing lunacy. Also better education cause in America Socialism is believed to be Leninism, vanguardism, command economies and authoritarianism. First an foremost we must focus on the here and now, and start about living up to humanitarian values and pushing the value of left wing politics. I don't see that happening with you cause as you said you're a radical communist probably more concerned with revolutionary politics and aggression over living up to our potential and furthermore aiding others through humanitarian means.

  7872. Lazy Leftist and we learned Marxism-Leninism was a crap system brought on by a autocratic feudal State not ready for Socialism. They weren’t much industrialized, nor had Capitalism. They went from feudalism straight to State Capitalism. It didn’t help that the Soviets undermined other Socialist movements that weren’t Leninist. As they did with Luxembourg party in Germany. Worst they undermined the moderate Social Democrats who were still Marxist then, and aided the rise of Fascist Nazis. Not to mention undermining Anarchist revolutions in Catalonia and Ukraine. Russians behaved more Nationalist and imperialist than Socialists should. When Lenin made alliances with Fascists it was a wrap, they were traitors to the proletariat and Socialism. Marxism-Leninism is part of Socialist movement and revolution, but it was not for Western industrialized countries, it made the proles fear Socialism, and ultimately fell back to oligarchic capitalism. Lesson learned, Marxism like Luxembourg’s is the way to go. Any Socialism that is anti-authoritarian. Where the working class have direct control over government and bottom-up organization. Freedom is essential for the rule of the proletariat.

Even when freedom is what challenges authority and hierarchies. Even Marxists claim the goal of state abolition. Libertarian leftism needs to be the movement, instead of welfare statism and flimsy government programs dependent on who’s in power. If we build a movement of libertarianism, freedom, equality, solidarity these right wingers will have nothing to fall back on (talks of liberty and small government) and show themselves for the authoritarians they are.

  7898. People judge at face value but looking deeper into characters you’ll understand more, and that these characters are portrayed as real humans. It’s the same crap Sansa Stark of Game of Thrones gets. Never mind the inner strength she grows and coming to understand the harsh realities of the world are far from the romantic idealisms she held as a sheltered child of the noble class. Oh and “She killed her father!” never mind she’s a little naive girl surrounded by lions, or that Ned’s own naivety lead to his demise at a tyrant’s hands. She hasn’t the physical strength to fight but she withstands hardships and cruelties, a victim that strengthens inside to become a more practical and pragmatic person when she finally escapes her imprisonment. She has the knowledge to lead and compassion to lead well, despite the less than ideal treatment from the writers of her character and arc recently. The difference between her and Daenerys is one had the advantage of powerful creatures to annihilate and intimidate their enemies. I know bringing this into this video isn’t ideal but the same principle in overly simplifying a character has always been frustrating to me and clearly I recently had a hot debate on the subject so here I am 🤗 Great video gals. My kind of stuff. Maybe one for the misunderstanding of Sansa’s character can be in the works?

They were the professional-managerial class of Cuba until the Communist take over. While I get feeling robbed of what they felt they earned they have no nuance when it comes to Castro and the Commies there. The afro-Cubans and lower classes still love Castro for making their lives better. These white Cubans in Florida lean capitalist and conservative because they have a cartoon villain image of anything that they deem close to “socialism”. Bautista was a good dictator, Castro bad.

The closest thing is some State Socialist governments whereby the party puts professionals in positions of power. Technocracy really hasn’t been a systemic institution in the classes of political power, so any “technocrats” you may be referring to may not actually be technocrats. Yang isn’t a technocrat true. Just someone focused on technological innovations and advancements. But he has expressed in using data and statistics in his decision making and policies, which is why I referred him as closest to a technocrat.

Libertarianism refers to left wing ideology such as Anarchism, Socialism, and Communism.

  7925. JJ8KK It is the seeking out of and dismantling of all forms of hierarchies and coercion, this principle is present in all true forms of Anarchy.

  7928. Mister E Here’s the thing. The Libertarians ideologies are near direct descendant of Liberalism. It seeks to dismantle all forms of concentrated power, wealth, prestige, coercion. It’s literally the next step or evolution of Liberal ideology and it’s doctrines of liberty and equality. It goes even further by seeking to end all forms of coercion, or hierarchical institutions such as government. In Anarcho-Syndicalist Catalonia the worker’s took ownership of the means of production in radical Unions. They abolished any State apparatus (Government) and organized in decentralized federal free associations. The economy was Socialist, where they produced and distributed towards the communities needs. There were no classes, the workers owned the means of production, the industries. There were no employers. And what about innovation? Usually you’ll find Anarchists being atheists or agnostics. In a society where commodity production is done with, allowing fewer work hours a day as technology advances, the people will have more freedom to pursue their talents, abilities, and knowledge. They’ll have more time to participate in politics concerning the community, seeking knowledge, pursuing their passions. Indeed this was Albert Einstein’s ideal world for human progression and scientific advancement. If people have to spend most their lives working, as they do under Capitalism, those are many individuals not free to pursue the arts and sciences. Even in this Capitalist system it is not the CEOs and employers that bring innovation. It is R&D groups, start ups who are pursuing their goals.
    1
  7929. jumpate Anarcho-Capitalists aren’t Anarchists. No true Anarchist accepts a system of hierarchy and coercion. Not to mention blatant exploitation of workers. These so called “Anarcho-Capitalists” are really just Classical Liberal laissez faire Capitalists. It’s cute they believe Capitalism can exist without a State apparatus protecting private property. It’s just neofeudalism. And again Revolutionary Catalonia, Free Territory Ukraine, and modern Rojava did not seize the State. They abolished it for decentralized free associations organized federally. We look up to the Catalonians that established a new way of social organization consistent with Anarchist Socialist ideology. George Orwell was enamored with this society, the most liberated he witnessed.

  7930. Saturnian Lotus Proudhon who coined the term Anarchy as it is known today got it from the ancient Greek word for leaderless rule. Look at Athenian Democracy, and all other Poleis of the Classical Age and you’ll see an advancements in arts, culture, and politics. Because they made use of slaves (unfortunately) so they could focus on politics and the arts of the Polis. In the modern world it is technology that will allow labor to be automated and a more liberated society based upon democratic principles of the Anarchist tradition. Humanity is capable of such things, as we see the progression of human civilization is freedom.

  7933. Altered Beast I’m wary of nationalizing, things should be in the direct hands of worker’s. That’s why I advocate decentralized planning, bottom-up. An industrial federalism. Centralized planning might be decent for public utilities, but a problem with centralization is forgoing regional and local differences and needs. Hence decentralized models are more efficient I think. Besides limiting the State is key in my ideology, to the point it will eventually disappear. Market Socialism is key to achieving socialism through Market means, the most widespread economic model. But eventually full automation and post-scarcity would render markets useless. However we need to get there first. I’m a Libertarian Socialist and I think Free Market Anarchists/Mutualist societies can coexist with Anarcho Collectivists/Communists. As libertarian society develops and advances are made the more advanced and developed models will go on.
    1
  7934. Altered Beast interesting. However this world will either have one global state which is a no, or decentralized stateless autonomy. I’m with the latter. I can’t stress enough the need for horizontal relations and abolishing of hierarchy. Authority is the illusion that people need to follow orders from their betters. But an advanced society of autonomous individuals will bring the freedom and individualism needed to maintain a prosperous libertarian world. Even in economic affairs a State or government would never be enough to fulfill the immediate needs of base units. You either remain under self management and determination in a bottom-up model, or remain at the whims of a top-bottom organization. That said I believe in elected delegates subject to immediate recall. The federation or confederation will act as a type of governance but not be an authoritarian power.

Welfare with capitalism, or liberal corporatism. I promise you even Mussolini would have agreed with progressives. Not socioculturally but definitely socioeconomically. Again look up liberal corporatism and you’ll find social democracy. Every developed nation has a corporatist system, and that’s a problem because it’s about class collaboration and sustaining capitalist production. Also market socialists support markets, not capitalism.

The kind of violence has been done in this land since the Sons of Liberty and Samuel Adams went about terrorizing royalists and destroying private property. The narrative I see is conservatives and right wingers believing the believe in more liberty than actual anarchists. You know anarchists that promote voluntary association, free market anarchism, and the end of social hierarchies. As David Henry Thoreau said “the government that governs least is none.” Conveniently left out of the conversation by corporate media and reactionaries is that peaceful resistance and civil disobedience are anarchist philosophies from the philosophical anarchist that refused to pay taxes. And other anarchists believe violence is also a legit form of direct action when facing authoritarians. What do they share in common? Free thought. I’m an anarchist , but I’ve never went out and joined Antifa when they go out to protests and far right gatherings. I don’t believe in violence other than defense. But I damn sure resist the State and authorities when they think they know better for me. Those who fear libertarianism fear freedom. Though I understand the backlash against Antifa, they are not looking for power just direct action. Besides I haven’t seen a single person claiming to be Antifa out there looking to get locked up. Even fucking FBI fail to see a connection, and I’m sure those pricks would love to lock up leftists.

Liberalism is freedom, it’s literally the root of “liberalis.” Right wingers are Authoritarians who do not believe in freedom. They’re illiberal, and true Conservatism is dead. Conservatives of the Burke-Hamilton-Adams tradition have been supplanted by reactionary Regressives and extreme right wingers wanting Authoritarianism. For people who go on about protecting Western Civilization (by which they mean white supremacy and medieval traditions) they sure do hate the most important development of West Civ; the values of the Enlightenment against tradition and to use Reason rather than blindly following the Church and authority.

  7968. As a left libertarian this is why it annoys me why people associate “libertarian” with right wingers in the USA. Libertarianism comes from socialist political philosophy and history. It wasn’t associated with capitalists until the 1960s, and these so called AnCaps and right-“libs” have a history of allying with conservative elements. As if any genuine radical movement can be compatible with conservatism.

  7969. Capitalism has prevented elites from full fledged competition. The State has always favored white Americans with monopolies, and privileges like homestead. The generations of wealth stolen from slaves, and then preventing full free market competition so that black businesses don’t thrive, and now they’re “complaining.” Remember that Africans came to this country as “capital” Stop fearing the competition of black business and entrepreneurship. Systemic racism continues to keep minorities in low class poor neighborhoods, and such conditions. This is why black liberation movements are socialist. Either communist (Black Panthers) of for market socialism. Capitalism is not compatible with black liberation.

People have a bad misconception of what Libertarians believe in. They do not like corporations they want more competitive markets. They really suck at defending their own positions thought and characters like Rand make them look like corporate apologists. Ron Paul however was better, and one of the few who had genuine criticisms of the Welfare State’s inefficiency and alternative. As a libertarian socialist I have by critiques of right “Libertarianism” but objectively they are better than modern Democrats and Republicans and would classify as more left wing than both those authoritarian parties.

  7980. @Karl Marx I wouldn’t say that though in American context yeah they were the progressives. Yes August Willich general of the Union Army was a communist that hated Marx and thought him too conservative. But Lincoln himself was the harbinger of American industrial capitalism. He ended chattel slavery and ironically expanded wage slavery. Marx liked Lincoln was destroying the slavery order. Remember Marx thought it necessary for a proletariat class to arise out of the womb of capitalism, and that’s what Lincoln did by expanding industrial capitalism in the States. Lincoln had the support of the manufacturers, the bankers, and yes the free laborers.
    1
  7981. @Karl Marx I think there was a possibility that Lincoln’s party could have went a liberal socialist route with the influence of socialists and workers not wanting to be wage slaves. But unfortunately it went the capitalist route as part of Lincoln base was Northern capitalists and financiers. I know all about Lincoln’s respect for labor but it wasn’t a socialist belief. Lincoln believed that laborers would become capitalists and they would employ workers as a cycle. He essentially believed that wage labor would be only a temporary issue for the majority and that it wouldn’t be a permanent condition. Obviously he was wrong. I think in an alternative history Lincoln’s party would have been a liberal socialist one with the influence of labor organization and socialists, something similar to what John Stuart Mills advocated. A blend of worker’s associations with capitalist owners, and eventually maybe full worker associations. But it would have been a struggle between socialists and capitalists within the party. With Lincoln assassinated the party turned fully to the Northern elites, and Republican capitalism that lead to the Gilded Age and the abandonment of Reconstruction. Classical liberalism was actually more socialist than given credit. It wasn’t until neoliberalism that liberal economics went full capitalist. Classical economists were actually influential to socialism. Adam Smith hated land owners, David Ricardo was an early advocate of socialistic thought, John Stuart Mill favored worker’s cooperatives and rejected capitalist firms, Thomas Hodgskin wrote class analysis like “Labor Defended Against the Claims of Capital” etc.... It’s why libertarian socialists and market socialists were highly inspired by classical liberals. Classical liberalism was about free markets and enterprise, not necessarily in support of capitalist production. That came later in the form of neoliberalism which was full on capitalist based economics. I mean here we have a quote from classical liberal Mills: “Hitherto there has been no alternative for those who lived by their labour, but that of labouring either each for himself alone, or for a master. But the civilizing and improving influences of association, and the efficiency and economy of production on a large scale, may be obtained without dividing the producers into two parties with hostile interests and feelings, the many who do the work being mere servants under the command of the one who supplies the funds, and having no interest of their own in the enterprise except to earn their wages with as little labour as possible. The speculations and discussions of the last fifty years, and the events of the last thirty, are abundantly conclusive on this point. If the improvement which even triumphant military despotism has only retarded, not stopped, shall continue its course, there can be little doubt that the status of hired labourers will gradually tend to confine itself to the description of workpeople whose low moral qualities render them unfit for anything more independent: and that the relation of masters and work-people will be gradually superseded by partnership, in one of two forms: in some cases, association of the labourers with the capitalist; in others, and perhaps finally in all, association of labourers among themselves.” – John Stuart Mill in Principles of Political Economy with some of their Applications to Social Philosophy Now think what could have been had the Republican Party of Lincoln fully embraced this liberal socialist blend that would be a step towards full socialism. Even capitalists would be persuaded to do business with labor associations should labor bargaining power increase. I think Lincoln could have be persuaded of at the very least this “liberal socialism.”

  7990. 1) For those that worship the Founders even Jefferson argued people shouldn’t be governed by the dead and each generation should have their own constitutional agreements free from the contracts of the past. 2) Lysander Spooner already gutted the usefulness of the Constitution century ago after he used it to argue for the emancipation of black slaves on Constitutional grounds. Knowing people held the document as sacred he turned it against the slave owners. Quotes from Spooner: “The Constitution says: "We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." The meaning of this is simply We, the people of the United States, acting freely and voluntarily as individuals, consent and agree that we will cooperate with each other in sustaining such a government as is provided for in this Constitution. The necessity for the consent of "the people" is implied in this declaration. The whole authority of the Constitution rests upon it. If they did not consent, it was of no validity. Of course it had no validity, except as between those who actually consented. No one's consent could be presumed against him, without his actual consent being given, any more than in the case of any other contract to pay money, or render service. And to make it binding upon any one, his signature, or other positive evidence of consent, was as necessary as in the case of any other-contract. If the instrument meant to say that any of "the people of the United States" would be bound by it, who did not consent, it was a usurpation and a lie. The most that can be inferred from the form, "We, the people," is, that the instrument offered membership to all "the people of the United States;" leaving it for them to accept or refuse it, at their pleasure.” “And yet we have what purports, or professes, or is claimed, to be a contract—the Constitution—made eighty years ago, by men who are now all dead, and who never had any power to bind us, but which (it is claimed) has nevertheless bound three generations of men, consisting of many millions, and which (it is claimed) will be binding upon all the millions that are to come; but which nobody ever signed, sealed, delivered, witnessed, or acknowledged; and which few persons, compared with the whole number that are claimed to be bound by it, have ever read, or even seen, or ever will read, or see.” “But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist”

The Alpha Wolf in a zoo is aggressive, dominating, and possessive of it’s territory. It dominates the other wolves out of fear, being an animal in captivity having routine meals etc... The same zoologist, David Mech, then studied Wolf Packs and the Alpha Wolf in the wild where it was an entirely different animal. The Alpha Wolf’s sole role in it’s life is protecting the pack. It makes sure the entire pack eats, and survives on intellect and intuition in the wild to protect the pack. Mech spent years trying to undo the image he had made for the Wolves in captivity as out in nature and the wild they were completely different. People have a dumb sense of Alpha Male that comes from false information and compensation for something.

This time around after the devastation and history of Fascists in WW2 the far-right would have trouble appealing if they outright just say they hate liberalism and democracy. Hence they try to coat their Statism with talk of still believing in any liberal or democratic system.

Of course they can, but I don’t see problem with alternatives. The thing is right-wingers have supported alternatives for the purpose of indoctrination, specifically religious creationists. The whole idiotic anti-CRT and anti-lgbtq+ reaction against public schools is more along the lines of wanting children indoctrinated and uneducated.

You can cry all you want doesn’t change the fact that Stateless Libertarian Socialist societies were the most liberated in history. Something no Capitalist system can achieve.

Capitalists need the State.

Moron the worker’s that actually produce and manufacture deserve the rewards and what their productivity earns. We’re anti-Capitalists. That doesn’t mean we’re anti-markets. Capitalism is not synonymous with market economy. Markets can and have existed without a Capitalist mode of production. Wage labor is theft. The worker’s should own their productivity without a Capitalist leaching off their work. Quit projecting. No one is a millionaire or billionaire cause they work, that’s impossible. They exploit worker’s and take all the surplus and profit. Keep being a slave to your bourgeois masters. You rely on the State that’s on you

  8048. 11 bangbang are you that dumb a fuck? You must be thinking I’m a State Capitalist Marxist-Leninist. A Libertarian Socialist doesn’t want a State, there is no State. There’s a libertarian strain of Socialism apart from the Statist forms. You just wish so hard all Socialism (democratized economy) was the same as Marxism-Leninism so you can feel better about yourself and believe you love freedom. Truth is you just show you ignorance and believe a Capitalist ruling class equals freedom. That’s on you. If you want to make believe all Socialism means is welfare and nationalization well stay ignorant. Work for that wage and hopefully one day you can be a Capitalist with employees making you richer while you do nothing. You’re just a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.

  8049. 11 bangbang means of production they provide? You mean the product they provide. The means of production are the tools used to produce goods and services.

  8079. ing society and social relations, processes, and realities thereof the social scientists made associations with mystical phenomena. The psycho-biological dimension of society certainly seems mystic, but I suppose magic is science not yet understood or something. There was interest in Perennialism and mysticism or occult among the early socialist movement which attempted the synthesis of religion and science such as Saint-Simon and Comte’s New Catholicism/Christianity and Religion of Humanity respectively. Saint-Simon and Fourier both really emphasized Newton and his foundational law of attraction. To them, this was implying that there could also be mysterious forces within society. The notion of society being bigger than the sum of its parts comes out of this conception of reality being full of complex and mysterious forces. Magic was a prevalent topic and issue in the early social science movement. A video going into that history would be cool! The influential esotericist Éliphas Lévi was a disciple of the socialist Charles Fourier!

It’s as if Trump’s election brought on the stupidity of Republican politicians in full force instead of trying to act professional as they did before. Case and point, it’s the governance of legit idiots who don’t belong in positions of power. It’s always been bad, but being corrupt used to come with strategy and competence at being pieces of shit.

  8090. Rowdy_Roddy67 Marxist-Leninism is a Marxist revisionism from Vladimir Lenin. In his zeal to protect the socialist revolution in Russia from capitalist and imperialist counterrevolutionary forces, Lenin’s politics involves centralized bureaucracy, and rule of the Vanguard Party. His politics was heavily criticized by anarchists and anti-statist Marxists like Rosa Luxemburg for being a Statist counterrevolutionary government. Leftists have always been against Leninist or Soviet inspired Statism because they find the use of the State as counterrevolutionary for an anti-statist revolution. They never bought that the State will just wither away and give power to the masses.

Anarchist philosophers developed the concept for those that did not agree with insurrectionary aggression. Peaceful resistance against the State. Live outside the State. Many religious anarchists are Anarcho-pacifists. And yes as you can expect from a libertarian (real libertarian not the American capitalist appropriation) philosophy we have diverse methods of revolution.

  8101.  @NewNormalWorldOrder  no… Neoconservatism refers to the foreign policy of military adventurism, and the doctrine of “American exceptionalism”. The Neocons, just like the establishment Democrats, follow the economic doctrine and policy of neoliberalism which is pro-capitalist and global “free” trade economics. Neoliberalism was an economic policy that originated with the policies of right wing Ronald Reagan, and in the UK Margaret Thatcher. Many of Democrats also support Neocon legislation. Democrats are a right wing political establishment, comparable to the liberal parties of Canada or Europe. The left-right dichotomy is usually one that denotes progress and egalitarianism vs traditionalism and hierarchies. It originates in the National Assembly of the French Revolution where the conservative clergy, nobles, and pro-monarchists sat on the right wing of the Assembly. The republicans, liberals, and revolutionaries sat on the left wing. Peep the profile pic, while I agree that it is a simple model that doesn’t capture political complexity the history of it isn’t hard to grasp. Leftism today is referring to ideals of anarchist, socialist, or communist revolution looking towards the abolishment of the State. And rightism is in reference to ideals of sociocultural conservatism, and the defense of the system of private property and capitalist hegemony. But overall I agree that left-right is too simple a model to have much accuracy. Still it is the common jargon, and still is use in political science.

  8116. Eric Duprey Capitalism is a liberal ideology not a libertarian one. Libertarians are anti-authority. Even Rothbard admitted they shouldn’t called themselves Anarchists cause they really aren’t. It’s just anti-Statism that wants no bureaucracy taking taxes or intervening in the market. It’s just laissez faire capitalism. Anarchy is the abolition of all unjustified hierarchies. Private ownership and wage labor is unjustified, it doesn’t have to be. Worker’s can own the means and have free associations without bosses and a privileged class of owners. As a bit of an Anarchist without hyphens I believe any Anarchist society or commune can be free to organize as they want. But like many I don’t accept any capitalist form as Anarchist. It is a system of class distinctions, wage labor, employer-employee dichotomy, and surplus commodity production. Such things Anarchists recognize as vertical relations and perpetuating inequality and power structures. People aren’t employees cause they want to, if given the chance they’d rather be their own boss and keep their rewards of their productivity.

  8117. Eric Duprey In a right-libertarian or "anarcho"-capitalist society, freedom is considered to be a product of property. As Murray Rothbard puts it, "the libertarian defines the concept of 'freedom' or 'liberty'. . . as a condition in which a person's ownership rights in his body and his legitimate material property rights are not invaded, are not aggressed against. . . . Freedom and unrestricted property rights go hand in hand." This definition has some problems, however. In such a society, one cannot (legitimately) do anything with or on another's property if the owner prohibits it. This means that an individual's only guaranteed freedom is determined by the amount of property that he or she owns. This has the consequence that someone with no property has no guaranteed freedom at all (beyond, of course, the freedom not to be murdered or otherwise harmed by the deliberate acts of others). In other words, a distribution of property is a distribution of freedom, as the right-libertarians themselves define it. It strikes anarchists as strange that an ideology that claims to be committed to promoting freedom entails the conclusion that some people should be more free than others. However, this is the logical implication of their view, which raises a serious doubt as to whether "anarcho"-capitalists are actually interested in freedom. Looking at Rothbard's definition of "liberty" quoted above, we can see that freedom is actually no longer considered to be a fundamental, independent concept. Instead, freedom is a derivative of something more fundamental, namely the "legitimate rights" of an individual, which are identified as property rights. In other words, given that "anarcho"-capitalists and right libertarians in general consider the right to property as "absolute," it follows that freedom and property become one and the same. This suggests an alternative name for the right Libertarian, namely "Propertarian." And, needless to say, if we do not accept the right-libertarians' view of what constitutes "legitimate" "rights," then their claim to be defenders of liberty is weak. Another important implication of this "liberty as property" concept is that it produces a strangely alienated concept of freedom. Liberty, as we noted, is no longer considered absolute, but a derivative of property -- which has the important consequence that you can "sell" your liberty and still be considered free by the ideology. This concept of liberty (namely "liberty as property") is usually termed "self-ownership." But, to state the obvious, I do not "own" myself, as if were an object somehow separable from my subjectivity -- I am myself. However, the concept of "self-ownership" is handy for justifying various forms of domination and oppression -- for by agreeing (usually under the force of circumstances, we must note) to certain contracts, an individual can "sell" (or rent out) themselves to others (for example, when workers sell their labour power to capitalists on the "free market"). In effect, "self-ownership" becomes the means of justifying treating people as objects -- ironically, the very thing the concept was created to stop! As L. Susan Brown notes, "at the moment an individual 'sells' labour power to another, he/she loses self-determination and instead is treated as a subjectless instrument for the fulfilment of another's will." Ironically, the rights of property (which are said to flow from an individual's self-ownership of themselves) becomes the means, under capitalism, by which self-ownership of non-property owners is denied. The foundational right (self-ownership) becomes denied by the derivative right (ownership of things). Under capitalism, a lack of property can be just as oppressive as a lack of legal rights because of the relationships of domination and subjection this situation creates. So Rothbard's argument (as well as being contradictory) misses the point (and the reality of capitalism). Yes, if we define freedom as "the absence of coercion" then the idea that wage labour does not restrict liberty is unavoidable, but such a definition is useless. This is because it hides structures of power and relations of domination and subordination. As Carole Pateman argues, "the contract in which the worker allegedly sells his labour power is a contract in which, since he cannot be separated from his capacities, he sells command over the use of his body and himself. . . To sell command over the use of oneself for a specified period . . . is to be an unfree labourer."

I don’t understand these religious folk that believe the USA, is the greatest nation to be founded. Isn’t it a blasphemous thought to not think a YHWH theocracy would be the greatest nation there ever was? Either they agree that secularism is the greatest model for a nation’s governance, or they go against their own faith and dare claim Israel wasn’t the greatest nation to be given that it was their God’s chosen people and it was with them. Explain that one to me.

It was not the fellow underclasses that enforced hierarchy on minorities, but the state and privileged elite themselves. The slave owners, the industrialists. The State enforced the prejudices and maintained it via propaganda to the masses to divide the lower classes. Owenites weren’t successful in America. But they did inspire Josiah Warren and the libertarian socialist free market anti-capitalism. The anarchist strain that fought against the rise of capitalism. Which was fostered by the Republican Party of industrial capitalists. Even Dubois said that black folk were right back into slavery with wage labor. Something socialist movements struggled against as they sought it’s replacement with worker’s associations. New Deal was liberal corporatism not socialism. It’s why Mussolini compared the New Deal to his Fascist Corporatism.

  8133. Boogaloo act as saboteurs to incite a race war. They believe a second civil war. While yes some are against bigotry, as you can see there are white nationalists that identify as Boogaloo. They wear Hawaiian shirts, and aren’t that different from other right wing militias like 3%. There is no right wing anarchism. Anarchism is the anti-statist wing of socialism, aka libertarian socialism. Which includes anarchist communism and market socialism. But anarchy is socialist and anti-capitalist. I’m willing to believe the individual that was interviewed, but he could just be an actual anarchist instead of usual right wing “Libertarian” trying to appropriate the appeal of anarchy for something that isn’t. That said us libertarian socialists don’t support government programs as a solution either. But understand the urgency for alleviation. But not wanting government programs, which libertarian socialists also don’t want, isn’t why they are bad. If these right wing groups want to have a good image they need to expel all symbols of hierarchy and bigotry from their ranks. A task easier said than done, if not then disband is and form a proper organization the right way.

  8145. There’s room for a positive masculinity radicalism on par with feminist sociology. “Toxic masculinity” was coined by the mesopoetics, a group of men’s rights that were opposite standard bad Fight Club role play. Though letting off testosterone may be part of a radical men’s movement. There’s many misconceptions that should be deconstructed, such as the origin of the Alpha Male. This came from a bad Zoological study that did research on wolves behavior in captivity. The same Zoologist attempted to fix that mistake when he published their studies on wolves in the wild, where the lead wolf behaved very much as a defender and communitarian with their pack. But the Alpha Wolf BS had already caught on. There’s much to tap into with a left wing men’s movement to complement the Feminist movement. Note that Feminism has always been about sex and gender liberation, and has also been about equality of the sexes. However the sociology for specific male and masculinity study has been less developed.

  8150.  @Nelcomarproductions  as a free market libertarian enthusiast the money given to lower classes out of welfare is nothing compared to the money stolen by capitalists and corporations through their legalized monopolies Now consider, out of this vast ocean of rents extracted by state-connected parasites, the miniscule fraction that trickles back to the most destitute of the destitute, in the form of welfare and food stamps, in just barely large enough quantities to prevent homelessness and starvation from reaching high enough levels to destabilize the political system and threaten the ruling classes’ ability to extract rents from all of us. The state-allied landlords, capitalists and rentiers rob us all with a front-end loader, and then the state — THEIR state — uses a teaspoon to relieve those hardest hit. Every time in history the state has provided a dole to the poorest of the poor — the distribution of free grain and oil to the proletariat of Rome, the Poor Laws in England, AFDC and TANF since the 1960s — it has occurred against a background of large-scale robbery of the poor by the rich. The Roman proletariat received a dole to prevent bloody revolt after the common lands of the Republic had been engrossed by the nobility and turned into slave-farms. The Poor Laws of England were passed after the landed classes enclosed much of the Open Fields for sheep pasture. The urban American blacks who received AFDC in the 1960s were southern sharecroppers, or their children, who had been tractored off their land (or land that should have been theirs, if they had received the land that was rightfully theirs after Emancipation) after WWII. As Frances Fox Piven and Andrew Cloward argued in “Regulating the Poor,” the state — which is largely controlled by and mainly serves the interest of the propertied classes — only steps in to provide welfare to the poor when it’s necessary to prevent social destabilization. When it does so, it usually provides the bare minimum necessary. And in the process, it uses the power conferred by distributing the public assistance to enforce a maximum in social discipline on the recipients (as anyone who’s dealt with the humiliation of a human services office, or a visit from a case-worker, can testify). So don’t resent the folks who get welfare and food stamps. Your real enemies — the ones the state really serves — are above, not below.

As well as universal philosophies and religious cults. The Romans admired the Greek culture. Darius III was NOT Cyrus the Great. He was incompetent and lived off the luxury from the labor of his people while accomplishing nothing of worth. Alexander was far more memorable and ruled his conquests like Cyrus himself. He honored the Persian traditions and was prepared to integrate them into Greco-Macedonian society and culture while also wanting them to keep their own cultures. He envisioned a great multi-ethnic and national empire of old and new traditions. Upon his death his generals carved their own kingdoms, but the cosmopolitan structures remained. If Alexander lived they may have been even more unified.

  8186. Capitalism deforming markets and sustaining a privileged elitist class since industrialists skewed liberal economics for their own agenda. Don’t let these clowns fool you. They have you believing capitalism is synonymous with market economy, that it is the pinnacle of human development, and that it is freedom. Funny cause self-employers, farmers, and artisans fought industrial capitalism and wage slavery until the Republicans let them down and favored the industrialists and capital over labor. Lincoln ended chattel slavery of black Americans, but allowed the system of exploitation that would enslave generations of Americans to capital and proprietors. Shame cause the Republicans initially were true classical liberal economists and believed in the value of labor. “Labor is prior to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.” — Lincoln SOTU Address 1861

  8199. B-Rye no, actual right wing conservatives do. “The framers designed a constitutional system in which the government would play a vigorous role in securing the liberty and well-being of a large and diverse population. They built a political system around a number of key elements, including debate and deliberation, divided powers competing with one another, regular order in the legislative process, and avenues to limit and punish corruption. America in recent years has struggled to adhere to each of these principles, leading to a crisis of governability and legitimacy. The roots of this problem are twofold. The first is a serious mismatch between our political parties, which have become as polarized and vehemently adversarial as parliamentary parties, and a separation-of-powers governing system that makes it extremely difficult for majorities to act. The second is the asymmetric character of the polarization. The Republican Party has become a radical insurgency – ideologically extreme, scornful of facts and compromise, and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition. Securing the common good in the face of these developments will require structural changes but also an informed and strategically focused citizenry.”— Excerpt from “Finding the Common Good in an Era of Dysfunctional Governance” from conservative political scientists Thomas Edward Mann and Norman Jay Orstein. If you have never read about or heard Barry Goldwater, you are missing out. He was a Republican Senator in Arizona and the Republican Presidential nominee in 1964. Nicknamed "Mr. Conservative", he represents what the Republican Party should have been before selling out to the Religious Right - a party dedicated to small constitutional government, equal opportunity for all, free markets and individual liberty. He has become a libertarian hero for his dedication to these principles even as the Republican Party moved closer to the Evangelicals and abandoned its core mission to keep our citizens as free from the constraints of government as possible. Here are some quotes I think you will enjoy. On the Religious Right "The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C' and 'D.' Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism.' " --Speech in the US Senate (16 September 1981) "Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them." --Said in November 1994, as quoted in John Dean, Conservatives Without Conscience (2006) "I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass." --Said in July 1981 in response to Moral Majority founder Jerry Falwell's opposition to the nomination of Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court, of which Falwell had said, "Every good Christian should be concerned." Time Magazine, (20 July, 1981) On Gay Rights "The big thing is to make this country, along with every other country in the world with a few exceptions, quit discriminating against people just because they're gay. You don't have to agree with it, but they have a constitutional right to be gay. And that's what brings me into it." "Having spent 37 years of my life in the military as a reservist, and never having met a gay in all of that time, and never having even talked about it in all those years, I just thought, why the hell shouldn't they serve? They're American citizens. As long as they're not doing things that are harmful to anyone else... So I came out for it." “Gays and lesbians are a part of every American family. They should not be shortchanged in their efforts to better their lives and serve their communities. As President Clinton likes to say, ‘If you work hard and play by the rules, you’ll be rewarded’ and not with a pink slip just for being gay.” On True Conservatism "What I was talking about[Gay rights, Abortion]was more or less 'conservative,' " Goldwater recalls, saying he was smeared by the people around President Johnson – "the most dishonest man we ever had in the presidency." Goldwater continues: "The oldest philosophy in the world is conservatism, and I go clear back to the first Greeks. ... When you say 'radical right' today, I think of these moneymaking ventures by fellows like Pat Robertson and others who are trying to take the Republican Party away from the Republican Party, and make a religious organization out of it. If that ever happens, kiss politics goodbye." As a far leftist, an actual anarchist (libertarian socialist) I can tell you I don’t care if people have social conservative values. I of course am socially progressive. But what any libertarian wants is for a libertarian culture where people not try to dominate others and tell them what to do. Which is why I get along with actual traditional conservatives. They have conservative social-cultural values but believe in actual American constitutional federalism, subsidiarity, anti-war, county power, live and let live (no social engineering and legislation). Us anarchists get along with actual patriotic conservatives with liberal values (meaning not trying to control individuals via legislation). We build community networks together. The problem isn’t social conservatives, but Statism and a religious fundamentalism. Trying to hold others to regressive views. By that same note trying to social engineer for progressive values via legislation is also the problem. By my standard American conservatives are center-left traditionalist conservatives. Left meaning liberal conservatism, a belief in liberal democratic republicanism. Not this horrendous circus manifested in the Republican Party. Liberal conservatives aren’t authoritarians and theocrats. To be an American conservative you defend liberalism, in the classical sense.

Violence is a political tool for either liberation or authority. When people not in power do it’s a struggle against the State’s monopoly on violence. All liberal revolutions started in violent riots. In destruction of homes and properties. People are obviously angry out there. Sometimes civil resistance is more appropriate. But I’ll never let the State and it’s media propaganda tell me what is justified and what isn’t. States being the biggest sponsor of mass murder and violence in the world.

  8210. You didn’t get it? As a far left libertarian socialist I wholeheartedly agree with her. A federalist system works best for a large and diverse population. The governing bodies closest to people are the smaller ones. For years the US has just been acting nearly unitary. Granted as an anarchist our federalism is much more decentralized and not like American federalism where there is a separate national government and sub-units being sovereign. But still this country hasn’t even kept with its own structure.

  8250.  @ReggaeFan00 certain experiments create a culture. And you clearly don’t understand the politic here because when sociologists say whiteness isn’t a culture it means it is a manufactured political category for political purposes; whiteness isn’t a culture. Cultures are based off ethnography and nationalities. German, French, Welsh, English, Scottish, Spanish, Catalonian, Portuguese, Italian etc… these are cultures. Whiteness is a political classification to distinguish from blackness and founded on anti-black ideas. So this is what Signifier means when saying White people don’t have a culture. Black is also a political category and a lived colonized experience of a people of African descent that have been removed from any knowledge of their roots in Africa. Black Americans descendant of slaves can’t tell you their ethnographic roots and heritage other than African hence it becomes its own culture in America as Black American.

In America liberals are seen as the moderate center-right neoliberals. However liberalism isn't so concise. It has to do with how skewed to the right the political landscape is in America. Liberalism isn't more left than other ideologies but it is a left wing ideology.

  8268. Sheepy2055 first you’re not a “libertarian” you’re a laissez faire Capitalist. yeah people choose to sell their labor lol! In the Capitalist system of course they do idiot! It’s either work for a boss and settle for wages or fucking starve and be without a roof. People don’t see the alternative. Anarchist Socialists have no need for taxation. The economy is prioritized for needs not profits. In a Capitalist system I am in favor of taxing the wealthy elitist leeches getting rich off the workers exploitation. They always fight against alleviating the disparities caused by Capitalism, where wealth is accumulated by a few. Sociopathic avarice. They are not content with having millions in excess, they need to have all the money they can. Meanwhile a fraction of the .1% wealth can literally prevent world hunger and shelter the homeless. Look back in history, like the Irish potato famine. Capitalists could have alleviated their burdens, but Capitalists do not act without self interest and profit. They were forced to come to the US to be exploited for crap wages and crap conditions. Anarchism, meaning "without rulers", is a term covering various anti-authoritarian philosophies and movements which are egalitarian and socialist, which are dedicated to the replacement of states and/or governments (either capitalist governments or all governments) by various suggested alternatives such as autonomous self-realizing direct-democratic structures. Anarchism is not ochlocratic but to the contrary includes theories of structure and mutual support rooted in direct democracy and free association.

But he prefers one tool because that tool’s base is more agreeable to addressing Climate Change and anti-imperialism. What Chomsky actually supports is getting off your ass and take Direct Action. Don’t rely on electoral politics use the tactics of the far left. Civil Disobedience, General Strike, mass demonstrations, media coverage etc... The Civil Rights coalition did not try to get a Civil Rights champion into power, they forced their hands for structural change. Direct Action!

  8273. Goldie Kyle’s audience is usually progressive or social democrats like he is duh. It’s funny that conservatives can organize and get the State to open their economies. Yeah it’s stupid but at least they can organize to do something they want. Don’t know if Biden wins but whether he or Trump does take DIRECT ACTION! President LBJ wasn’t a Civil Rights enthusiast he just got his ass handed to him to pass structural change through a mass movement taking Direct Action. The New Deal coalition formed under labor organization and a coalition of left wing alliances to at least push for reform (though some were revolutionaries). It’s not about who’s in power it’s about what will you do with your people power.

  8274. Goldie a progressive is someone that advocates social reform. Or someone with socially progressive values, the opposite of conservative values. This is rudimentary education man.

  8277. @GG capitalism is a statist system of the capitalist class working with government. I’m an egoist and free market anarchist which is why I can say Rand was a capitalist state apologist. Proper libertarianism has always been socialist, anti-capitalist, and anti-hierarchy. Egoism is also a philosophy of the ego, the individual, but it recognizes just as there is a personal freedom there is a social freedom. Max Stirner influenced anarchists and libertarian communists, Rand is an influence to social darwinian capitalists that believe there is a hierarchy and some individuals are superior. The kind of individualism that leads to the cult of personality, and rigid social orders. The I do appreciate her defense of creativity and the arts. But as El-P said “ I got a Vonnegut punch for your Atlas Shrugged”
    1
  8278. @GG Rand wasn’t a libertarian she didn’t get along with them. Yes there are similar aspects but Objectivism is altogether a moral philosophy and way of life that rejects all subjective emotions in favor of an ethics of rugged individualism. But the individualism fostered by Objectivism is a social darwinian one of some being superior and more deserving than others and so it’s a belief in hierarchy. Rand was anti-government but not anti-statist. She had no analytical criticism of States, ruling classes, and the capitalist social order. She made the mistake of conflating market economy with capitalism. Which is ahistorical and just following the mainstream academia. Free markets isn’t synonymous with capitalism (private property, wage labor), and there is a libertarian and radical free market socialism. Markets aren’t incompatible with socialism. In fact there is a direct link with classical liberalism and libertarian socialism. From Adam Smith, David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill, Thomas Hodgskin to Josiah Warren, Pierre J Proudhon, Benjamin Tucker etc...

  8279. @GG negligence laws are capitalist laws is what I’m saying. The State makes the laws and regulations for the ruling capitalist class and their interests. Again you’re talking to an anarchist, doesn’t get more anti-government. This is just all part of the capitalist state. Capitalists, the idle rich, are only able to profit from the labors of the industrious because they are protected by unfair advantages, embodied in law, that allow them to escape the natural outcomes and pressures of genuine, full-fledged competition.

  8281. I actually believe the Federal should be constructionist as the Constitution outlines the role and duty of the Federal government. Even a strict constructionist reading of the Constitution does not outlaw gay rights. In fact it’s liberal values and premise would defend gay rights and liberties. And any more details would be up to States. Society certainly changes and rights and liberties ever expand universally. Actual conservatives like Goldwater defended the constitutionality of gay rights and liberties. It’s regressive and religious right wing authoritarians that want to control social life. But the Constitution itself refers to the Federal government, I think we can all agree the Federal has too much power. To the point we are a unitary state instead of federalist. The federalist system is broken when States where the people want universal healthcare can’t do it.

  8298. Orwell did not write Animal Farm to be anti-socialist or anti-revolution Writing to his friend, the American writer and critic, Dwight Macdonald, Orwell explained: Of course I intended it primarily as a satire on the Russian revolution. … I meant the moral to be that revolutions only effect a radical improvement when the masses are alert and know how to chuck out their leaders as soon as the latter have done their job. The turning-point of the story was supposed to be when the pigs kept the milk and apples for themselves (Kronstadt). If the other animals had had the sense to put their foot down then, it would have been all right. If people think I am defending the status quo, that is, I think, because they have grown pessimistic and assume that there is no alternative except dictatorship or laissez-faire capitalism.

  8307. PeanutbutterJellyfishSandwich exactly. This has been the criticism left wing socialists made of State Socialism since the Bolsheviks. Even before anarchists like Bakunin warned Marxists of centralization of power and elitist rule. And the Soviet Union followed Bakunin’s predictions of a Statist Socialism to a tee.

  8308. realscummy then why are families denied offspring and US companies allowed to exploit Chinese labor? Marxist-Leninism is authoritarian, and to combat capitalism they run a complete control of State. As bad as capitalism is those countries that uphold liberal ideals still allow for diverse discourse and ideals. If I were to talk of democracy in China they’ll treat me with hostility like they do Hong Kong protesters. If I were to talk of Socialism here in the US and talk about the utter trash that is the Capitalist system I wouldn’t be penalized or subjected to State control. Liberty is key to the liberation of the proletariat. Luxemburg was far bette than Lenin.

  8309. Right Left Paradigm to be expected of a Statist and authoritarian government. Marxist-Leninism and State Socialism is socialism abandoning the tenets of liberty. Which is tragic considering socialism began in liberal intellectual circles. Even Marx supported democratic socialist states such as the Paris Commune.
    1
  8310. realscummy I stand behind Socialist liberal democracies or republics , not authoritarian states. No power will tell me how to behave and what I can do. State Socialism scared away the working class worldwide cause especially developed nations won’t give up their liberties to an elitist government in the name of socialism. They’d rather keep their liberties and fight for egalitarian socioeconomic revolution at the same time. Even Marx has said so: “You know that the institutions, mores, and traditions of various countries must be taken into consideration, and we do not deny that there are countries—such as America, England, and if I were more familiar with your institutions, I would perhaps also add Holland—where the workers can attain their goal by peaceful means. This being the case, we must also recognize the fact that in most countries on the Continent the lever of our revolution must be force; it is force to which we must someday appeal in order to erect the rule of labor.” “If in England, for instance, or the United States, the working class were to gain a majority in Parliament or Congress, they could, by lawful means, rid themselves of such laws and institutions as impeded their development, though they could only do insofar as society had reached a sufficiently mature development. However, the "peaceful" movement might be transformed into a "forcible" one by resistance on the part of those interested in restoring the former state of affairs; if (as in the American Civil War and French Revolution) they are put down by force, it is as rebels against "lawful" force.”

They understand they are not part of the Democratic establishment and current status quo. The further right wing Third Way neoliberals are careful to not associate with the “far left” (lol) and prefer to call themselves moderates, centrists, or simply liberal Democrats. Even though their establishment has left behind Modern Liberalism, and are far more right of center and an organization for special interests.

Anarcho-Syndicalist Catalonia was thriving so much George Orwell paid homage. Unfortunately Fascists, Capitalists, and Bolsheviks did what they could to get rid of Anarchist Catalonia and Free Territory Ukraine. And the fuck do you mean the Nordic model works? There are still classes, they still syphon resources out of underdeveloped nations, and they have bourgeois exploitation of labor. Congratulations you have a less shitty Capitalism, it’s still shitty though. Workers are about as free as indentured servants. No Social Democracy is as free as Libertarian Socialists were.

  8383. just saying if you understood history you would understand not all Socialism is Marxist-Leninist State Capitalism. The whole goal of Socialism is creating a society without classes where workers are in ownership of their own productivity. You would also know that Socialism originated in liberal roots, and there are liberal socialists and of course that went into anti-authority and anti-statist socialism (Anarchism).
    1
  8384. just saying not at all. Those were Marxist-Leninists. Lenin made no attempt at hiding that his political model to achieve socialism and communism is authoritarian. But Communism is defined, even by Karl Marx, as a Stateless society built by communes without money and classes, where the workers produce for the community and are rewarded their needs in the commune stores. So I would work in whatever capacity and receive labor notes or vouchers depending on my productive capabilities. Those notes or vouchers would then be used to acquire anything I want of equal value from the commune stores, clothes, food, electronic appliances etc... There would be federations of workers associations where there is worker’s self-management and industrial democracy. As the toil lessens or alleviates people will be free to express their individual pursuits in sciences, arts, culture etc... As basic needs are met when not at the low hour workday people are autonomous and free to live their lives. While Marxist-Leninism takes an authoritarian approach to achieve Communism, it has proven a failure. Whereas anarchists and leftist Marxists would pursue more liberal and libertarian models. In fact Karl Marx said that the best example of his ideal socialist society was the Paris Commune. A short lived worker’s socialist republic or liberal democracy built on grassroots bottom-up federation and elected delegates subject to immediate recall. It was a democratic republic with the worker’s in government and control of industries. Didn’t last long since Napoleon III wanted Paris back under his imperial command.

The classical economic position actually lead to socialism. John Stuart Mill said that if people were to be free the workers would own capital they labored on and dispense with capitalists. Corruption is possible due to government and Statism. The majority of socialist tendencies seek the abolition of the State. Be it Marxist communists, anarchists, or free market socialists. We don’t have to get into the details and histories of libertarian socialism. But the whole goal of socialists is to eradicate the State and government, replaced by an industrial administration and economics. As socialism was begotten from Social Scientists, the goal is for society to reign free without external authorities such as governments, class elites, or religions. It’s most radical tendency is literally Anarchism. But these are discussions better suited for other platforms.

  8423. Clearly conservatives don’t understand what Deism is or have read any of the personal letters and correspondence of those figures Americans have sadly given the boring moniker of “Founding Fathers” rather than what they actually were: “Revolutionary Terrorist Insurrectionists;” they’d know that they were in fact Rational Theists. Their faith was tied to Reason, to liberal values and principles. Their Christianity was more of a liberal theology, the descent of which today is found in the Universalist Unitarian Church. These liberal theologians were not conservative fundamentalists that appealed to nonsense superstition and miracles, but saw God and Nature as one, Providence they called it. They saw Faith as only proper in Reason, and through the light of Reason the mysteries of God were revealed in Nature. They saw religious institutions as hubs for philosophical and theological debate and reasoning, to mold and form the national morality. Essentially as liberal theistic institutions where the public shall form the moral fabric of society. Not as a institution for preaching of superstition and unscientific thought, but of finding Faith and Natural Law through Rationality; and religion as a functionalist institution for Ethics philosophizing.

  8425.  @nataliekhanyola5669  look up free market socialism. Georgism. Classical polo economists like John Stuart Mill, Thomas Hodgskin, David Ricardo etc… recognized the socialist potential of free markets. Because socialism requires as a goal the end of government for industrial administration and management without a state. Government is actually oppositional to socialist society. And whether the socialist economy is planning or market oriented it requires immanent social coordination not an external force or authority commanding society. It is society organized for itself. Free markets can help by destroying the concentration of wealth and monopolies and privileged passive income that are sustained by government policies. Monopolies of land, money, IP (patents), and tariff all coalesce to privilege capital from intensive competition and reduces labor power. Imagine mutual banking where labor funds itself, imagine an LVT becoming a Single efficient tax replacing all other harmful taxes like income and sales tax. A tax on land value could fund the entirety of public infrastructure and investment, the rest be distributed as a citizens dividend or UBI. This is where Georgism can be used to tackle land monopoly. Patents are artificial government sanctioned monopolies that prevent distribution of information, innovation, and competition. The result of such a freer market would be intensive demand from capital with not enough labor, leading to increase in labor power, where labor would more and more demand it’s full product as wage. This sort of market economics was a school of socialism since the 19th century rooted in radicalized classical political economy.

  8437. Lord Mortigon I know that. America has corporatist tendencies when it comes to big business. They influence the political arena and pretty much control policy. Whereas full Corporatism is organs working within a body (State), it is well established business conglomerates and multi-national corporations receive State favors and have political influence. Hence it is comprehensible to the Fascist Corporatism Mussolini advocated. Alliance of corporate power and State is exactly what we see. Not that it’s full Fascism but the relevance and functionality of Corporatism is there. Military-Industrial Complex, arms manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, private insurance companies, mainstream media etc... all have a status quo with politicians and the State power. Is this not Corporatism? The only difference is that it is done by undermining the political process and corruption for financial gain and power, whereas in a Fascist State it would be done by ideology and commitment to stability of the State and not limited to big business.

If we amass a movement for boycott of corporations, cease giving money to these private tyrannies, and focus on localized economy and industrial federation we will give the State a blow it cannot recover from. However we must deal with the consumerism of developed nations for this to be effective. We must build a self-sufficiency and mutual aid network to undermine the hedonistic consumerism capitalism is dependent upon.

  8440. The Man a genuinely free market is a Mutualist and socialist one where government monopoly on currency, tariff, patents, and land are abolished. Capital made competitive, as labor is today, would mean two capitalists looking for a laborer, instead of two laborers looking a capitalist. By this I mean the natural wage being it’s full product. Mutualism is a libertarian socialist market economic theory. Based on libertarian economics from liberal economics. Essentially following free markets to its natural conclusion is a socialist economy rather than Statist capitalistic. Full fledge competition would erase the State protected usuries of profit, rent, and interest. Without Statism and government intervening on behalf of capitalists, propertarians would not be able to collect tribute via profit. Socialism isn’t about equality of abilities or skills, but of basic opportunity and necessities. Be it communism or market socialism. Were free markets genuine such labor exploitation and expropriation would not be rampant.

  8453. Jacob Elledge how uneducated are you exactly? The entire Far Left is made if anarchic socialists. We go by many schools of thought Anarcho-Syndicalism, Anarcho-Communism, Mutualists, Libertarian Socialists etc... Anarchism isn’t lawless disorder. It’s human organization without government, and the dismantling of all hierarchical structures and institutions that are unjustified in existing. The problem is you have a narrow minded thought of what socialism is, aka Cold War propaganda. At least learn about the ideals before you criticize. Socialism is a socio-economic organization, not a form of government. What you saw in in Russia was State socialism and a dictatorship. Not common ownership but State ownership which kind of negates the socialism. I think willing people making workers co-ops is the route to go. Start a collectively owned sector of industry in the US, and gradually grow from there. The whole point of liberalism was decentralized State power and liberty of the individual. I look at Capitalism and see centralized wealth and power among an elite socio-economic class undermining Democratic institutions and making an Oligarchy and mockery of the Constitution, politicians devoid of facts or reason. Even Thomas Jefferson feared another aristocracy in the US and turned suspicious eyes towards industrialists accumulating great Capital. There is nothing remotely un-American I believe in democratizing the workplace, and decentralizing the concentrated wealth and power of the wealthy elites. It’s continuing the legacy of liberalism as far as I’m concerned. Being far left I still feel a kindred spirit with the Fathers who saw government as a necessary evil. Little would they know that the Libertarian Left would exist and that in a post-Capitalist society ideas for human organization without government would exist. They also didn’t know of the threat of multi-national corporations and how powerful Capitalists could get. I’m sure they’d be horrified at the State of the American Republic today. Also I can share one instance such a society existed. If you can look into Anarcho-Syndicalist Catalonia you’ll find a governmentless society of workers prospering and being free. They had issues of course but it was the 2nd largest attempt at such a Socialist and Anarchist society since the Paris Commune in the 1800s. They were prosperous, happy, free.... and then Franco and the Fascists took over. Libertarian left is full of many schools of thoughts, and Socialism isn’t a clear collection of ideas either other than social ownership of the means of production. But I can tell this, from what I’ve read of the influential figures that founded the Socialist and anarchist ideologies they wanted people to be free. Just look at Gorge Orwell, who hated the Soviet Union and who’s stories would be synonymous with threat of authoritarian States, big brother, 1984, and Animal Farm. He was a true Democratic-Socialist who fought for Catalonia’s anarcho-syndicalists during the Spanish Civil War. Nothing is simple and not complicated, but I assure you I don’t want to take away freedoms in my ideals, but expand them. Sorry but Socialism isn’t what you think. The point is people collective own an industry and decide how much they’re paid. I can go into the nuances of the “every will get paid the same myth and how that’s wrong but you can educate yourself. Because a Socialist society isn’t driven by profit but by needs and community. As Marx predicted the wealth inequality will reach extreme highs and automation will replace workers, and then as Capitalism falls then the Socialist economy will be sought out not before. Good day.

Now that Biden is prez it’s up to people who want change to get off their ass and strike, move, protest, and demand change. Social democrats are literally right wing as they support capitalism.

  8464. Usman Akhtar Every political ideology must address their economic persuasion. Government and economy are different institutions for sure but certainly they’re tied together, hence political economy. Socialism isn’t a form of government but can have political dimension, and is mostly concerned with socioeconomics. Fascism is concerned with State power and stability and whatever the economy collaborates with the State, ideally Corporatism as an alliance of corporate bodies and State power. Anyway yes you and I do not disagree.

  8465. Apples in Mono Sociology is a soft-science, and it is as important as it is vague in it’s findings (as in very). There is indeed an authoritarian left that wishes to impose their ideas of liberalism coercively, effectively becoming contradiction to the ideal of Liberalism. SJWs are such a group that are liberals but have a coercive and authoritarian nature to their approach. Indeed Soviet Russia and other Marxist-Leninists implemented left wing ideologies through dictatorial means. State Capitalism and the dictatorship of the proletariat became tyrannical regimes opposed to all opposition. If this is what is meant be left wing Fascism I understand, but it sounds wrongly worded. Fascism is a far right wing ideology of collectivism, Totalitarianism, and conservatism. Anyway the authoritarian left is known as those left wing ideologues who coercively make their points and political influence known; quite the opposite of what they should be. If sociologists call it Fascism, well sounds like another case where Fascism is simply equated to authoritarian, though the reality is more than that oversimplification. Words being thrown about to the point of losing meaning as it is with Fascism and Socialism, is as Orwellian as blatantly outlawing the use of terms.

  8466. Hendrix Price Their form of government was Totalitarian, a right wing mode of governance indeed. They got rid of private property and private capitalism only to establish State Capitalism. That is the State, supposedly controlled by ‘the dictatorship of the proletariat’ or in Leninism the Vanguard Party, takes on the capitalists role in employing, paying wages, allocating resources, accumulating wealth etc... As you can see this State Capitalism as Lenin named it was supposed to be some transitional phase from “Socialism” to “Communism.” Truth is it wasn’t even the transitional Socialism. The workers did not control production or the means to them. Everything was State controlled and planned. This lead many libertarian left socialists to criticize the Soviet Union as an abomination of the desired freedoms of Socialism. Stalinism would be the worst, and Stalin would declare State Capitalism is Socialism. Indeed Socialism is meant to be democratization of the workplace and a post-Capitalist economy. George Orwell who fought for Anarchists in the Spanish Civil War, would hate the Totalitarianism of Stalinism and the Fascists forces that won the Spanish Civil War. He spent his life criticizing those powers and a staunch Democratic Socialist. I think these Socialist movements ultimately moved towards the more right wing forms of government with it’s Authoritarian tendencies. Supposedly the workers controlled the State, but it was a Party that would basically take leadership over them. You can make similarities between Fascism and the Soviet Union, but I would say they are different as Fascism involves more facets than just Totalitarianism. State Capitalism would involve the same type of government and an emphasis on a planned economy, and the supposed State control by the workers, not at all a democratic control of affairs however. Left wing Socialists and Anarchists are more of the democratic persuasion of worker’s control, and do declare systems like in the Soviet Union to not being truly Socialism or Communism.

  8471. Ant Man well not all Socialism requires a State or planned economies. Anarchism is the Stateless strain of Socialism. But there is also Democratic Socialism that doesn’t involve Marxist-Leninism. This calls for a more participatory democracy and direct control from the workers. Yes Socialism can be decentralized and federally organized. Another misconception is that Socialism is synonymous with State control and planned economies. This is as false as believing Capitalism is synonymous with market economy. There can be Socialist markets, in fact it’s a whole wing of Socialist thought. Capitalism is one form of a market economy but not nearly the only one. It is in fact outdated and proved to be not very democratic. The Capitalist mode of production requires private ownership of the means of production, wage labor, production for commodity, and profit motivation. Markets can exist without it, Socialist markets would advocate workers ownership, production according to need of community (so very decentralized and local), and free from wage labor. Worker’s can shop at markets according to their productivity or using the monetary rewards decided democratically in their workplace if they still use wage as recompense. Socialism is not just public ownership/nationalization. It is also democratization of industry. Depends on which Socialism people want, and I doubt many people want the Marxist-Leninist variety.

  8472. Ant Man What are you talking about? Libertarian Socialist groups like Anarcho-Communism and Syndicalism are Stateless. They’re anarchists, the dismantling of all hierarchies in social, political, and economic life; no government. Revolutionary Catalonia got rid of the State and lived in Stateless free associations of worker’s owned syndicates. They were very decentralize and organized in a federal horizontal network. George Orwell wrote “Homage to Catalonia” to honor this society he visited. This anarchist society was the most liberated he ever witnessed and became a staunch Democratic Socialist ever since. The Anarchists were defeated in the Spanish Civil War by the Fascists of Franco and undermined by the Communist party that supported the Soviet Union.

  8473. Ant Man lol why are you rewriting history? They didn’t have a legislative body. They had no government. They worked, owned their production, distributed as needed, and had community militias. A society of worker’s for worker’s by worker’s. Property owned by the workers who worked them, no Capitalist privileged leaches to pay the wages and taking their labor of value. Socialism is emancipation of the worker’s.

  8474. Ant Man lol The American founding fathers had a fundamental mistrust of all government. They understood no government is to be trusted. They begrudgingly left a strong federal government as they saw no alternative. Had they seen what Capitalism would lead to with corporations and private power they would have fought against that. Classical Liberalism fought against concentrated wealth, power, and privilege. Had they lived to see the Libertarian movement of Anarchist Socialists they probably would have been Anarchists. Imagine their ecstasy at the possibility of NO GOVERNMENT! Anarchism is based on communities or locales operating in free associations. They would work through larger territories in federal organization. Early Anarchists literally called themselves Federalists. Autonomous territories freely cooperating with each other if they want. Don’t give that “homogenous” crap. Anarchists like all Socialists are class conscious. They look for worker’s solidarity not caring about race, gender, ethnicity, religion etc... The worker’s are united in solidarity. “I had dropped more or less by chance into the only community of any size in Western Europe where political consciousness and disbelief in capitalism were more normal than their opposites. Up here in Aragon one was among tens of thousands of people, mainly though not entirely of working-class origin, all living at the same level and mingling on terms of equality. In theory it was perfect equality, and even in practice it was not far from it. There is a sense in which it would be true to say that one was experiencing a foretaste of Socialism, by which I mean that the prevailing mental atmosphere was that of Socialism. Many of the normal motives of civilized life—snobbishness, money-grubbing, fear of the boss, etc.—had simply ceased to exist. The ordinary class-division of society had disappeared to an extent that is almost unthinkable in the money-tainted air of England; there was no one there except the peasants and ourselves, and no one owned anyone else as his master.” George Orwell

  8475. Ant Man what can I tell you. You stick to what you know or you revolutionize society. Governments are seen as necessary cause that’s the status quo. Yet they don’t prevent crime, wars, or fix all problems. So why do we need them over autonomy and freedom? Why not free societies of free individuals. Human history did not start in nation states. The longest period of humanity was spent in Stateless communities as anthropologists say. The aristocrats liked to claim liberalism was impossible, people need concentrated authority and order. But here we are, in a world full of liberal democratic Republics. Humanity is always moving towards freedom.

Police was created to protect capital and maintain the poors and labor in line. Better to build mutual aid in communities and have voluntary and rotating community watch than another armed force of authority for the State.

  8486.  @mikeparker7631  what a shitty take on leftism. The left is anarchist anti-statism advocating either forms of anarcho-communism or free market anarchism (mutualism). Here’s one quote form a libertarian socialist/anarchist to define what leftists believe in. “To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be place[d] under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.” “Under the law of association, transmission of wealth does not apply to the instruments of labour, so cannot become a cause of inequality. [...] We are socialists [...] under universal association, ownership of the land and of the instruments of labour is social ownership. [...] We want the mines, canals, railways handed over to democratically organised workers' associations. [...] We want these associations to be models for agriculture, industry and trade, the pioneering core of that vast federation of companies and societies, joined together in the common bond of the democratic and social Republic.” — Pierre J Proudhon Leftists advocate a world without borders, without externalities trying to govern individuals, for the ego to flourish. A world without hierarchies. Classical liberalism was the predecessor to libertarian socialism. “When it shall be said in any country in the world my poor are happy; neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want; the taxes are not oppressive; the rational world is my friend, because I am a friend of its happiness: When these things can be said, there may that country boast its Constitution and its Government. Independence is my happiness, the world is my country and my religion is to do good. — Thomas Paine It was only a development of time until classical liberalism became libertarianism. From limited government to no government. Including economically. “The economic principles of Modern Socialism are a logical deduction from the principle laid down by Adam Smith in the early chapters of his Wealth of Nations,—namely, that labor is the true measure of price. But Adam Smith, after stating this principle most clearly and concisely, immediately abandoned all further consideration of it to devote himself to showing what actually does measure price, and how, therefore, wealth is at present distributed. Since his day nearly all the political economists have followed his example by confining their function to the description of society as it is, in its industrial and commercial phases. Socialism, on the contrary, extends its function to the description of society as it should be, and the discovery of the means of making it what it should be. Half a century or more after Smith enunciated the principle above stated, Socialism picked it up where he had dropped it, and in following it to its logical conclusions, made it the basis of a new economic philosophy. This seems to have been done independently by three different men, of three different nationalities, in three different languages: Josiah Warren, an American; Pierre J. Proudhon, a Frenchman; Karl Marx, a German Jew. That Warren and Proudhon arrived at their conclusions singly and unaided is certain; but whether Marx was not largely indebted to Proudhon for his economic ideas is questionable. However this may be, Marx’s presentation of the ideas was in so many respects peculiarly his own that he is fairly entitled to the credit of originality. That the work of this interesting trio should have been done so nearly simultaneously would seem to indicate that Socialism was in the air, and that the time was ripe and the conditions favorable for the appearance of this new school of thought. So far as priority of time is concerned, the credit seems to belong to Warren, the American,—a fact which should be noted by the stump orators who are so fond of declaiming against Socialism as an imported article. Of the purest revolutionary blood, too, this Warren, for he descended from the Warren who fell at Bunker Hill. From Smith’s principle that labor is the true measure of price—or, as Warren phrased it, that cost is the proper limit of price—these three men made the following deductions: that the natural wage of labor is its product; that this wage, or product, is the only just source of income (leaving out, of course, gift, inheritance, etc.); that all who derive income from any other source abstract it directly or indirectly from the natural and just wage of labor; that this abstracting process generally takes one of three forms,—interest, rent, and profit; that these three constitute the trinity of usury, and are simply different methods of levying tribute for the use of capital; that, capital being simply stored-up labor which has already received its pay in full, its use ought to be gratuitous, on the principle that labor is the only basis of price; that the lender of capital is entitled to its return intact, and nothing more; that the only reason why the banker, the stockholder, the landlord, the manufacturer, and the merchant are able to exact usury from labor lies in the fact that they are backed by legal privilege, or monopoly; and that the only way to secure labor the enjoyment of its entire product, or natural wage, is to strike down monopoly.” — Free Marker Anarchist Benjamin Tucker

  8489. Edward Moran it’s really not. Anti fascist action has been around since Italian Fascism. Insurrectionism has always been a leftist direct action. As is civil disobedience where anarchist philosopher Henry David Thoreau expounded it. Right wingers like to believe a leaderless decentralized group of individuals confronting far rightists is the equivalent of trying to force political power. Last time I checked anarchists define the State as a monopoly on violence. Sweetie Antifa isn’t trying to coerce anyone to their ideology, they are just kicking far right ass. A proud leftist tradition. George Orwell would be proud

  8491. random channel lol tell that to Revolutionary Catalonia, Free Territory Ukraine, the Paris Commune. Socialism has a broad variety of schools. From Libertarian Anarchist, to Marxist-Statist. What you mean is there isn’t a Marxist-Leninist movement that hasn’t lead to authoritarianism. George Orwell understood authoritarianism and assessed it throughout his literary career. He fought with Socialists in the Spanish Civil War. Why would the writer of 1984 and Animal Farm, fierce criticisms of Totalitarian States like Fascism and Stalinism say things like this if all Socialism is authoritarian: “Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.” George Orwell, “Why I write” “And the only regime which, in the long run, will dare to permit freedom of speech is a socialist regime. If Fascism triumphs I am finished as a writer — that is to say, finished in my only effective capacity. That of itself would be a sufficient reason for joining a socialist party.” – George Orwell, “Why I Joined the Independent Labour Party”

  8492.  @strictlykev311  as a libertarian socialist I concur that monopolies and corporations like Amazon exist because of government/State influence and privileges. Indeed the market economy of today is anything but free with so many monopolists. Also as an anti-capitalist we aren’t opposed to market economy, but we are opposed to private ownership of the means of production and the institution of wage labor. The core of socialism is abolishing wage labor with labor associations. What corporations receive is not socialism, it is corporate welfare.

If there were an actual leftist conscientious organization in the US we’d be more like the Irish Republican Army. Or the Black Panthers. Not that we would be looking for violence but know how to defend our liberties and communities from coercive agents.

  8518. To be fair FDR’s New Deal was liberal corporatist. Mussolini recognized it as fascist lite economically. Mussolini compared the New Deal to Fascism. Socialists also recognized the similarities between New Deal programs and Fascist economics. Labor and business interests mediated by government. Fascism is New Deal on steroids. “You want to know what Fascism is like, it is your New Deal” “Fascism entirely agrees with Mr. Maynard Keynes, despite the latter’s prominent position as a Liberal. In fact, Mr. Keynes’ excellent little book, The End of Laissez-Faire (l926) might, so far as it goes, serve as a useful introduction to fascist economics. There is scarcely anything to object to in it and there is much to applaud.” - Benito Mussolini That said liberal corporatism isn’t Fascist Corporatism. Liberal corporatism like social democracy still holds a liberal framework. Fascism is anti-liberal and nationalist. It was ridiculous of Stalin to not see the appeal of Fascist Corporatism which is a nationalist Syndicalism where all economic sectors collectively bargain under government oversight. The Fascist model was based upon the notion that big centralized government works well, and it brings the nation and classes together to be a well functioning organism, the State. New Deal Programs were actually inspired by some Fascist infrastructure. People forget that Fascism wasn’t a dirty word until WW2 broke out. Mussolini was seen as a hero, like Caesar, that would take the reigns of power for the people, from the gridlock of liberal democratic politicians, and be a dictator in the image of Ancient Rome. There were literally calls from the media in America to give FDR emergency dictatorial powers to address the Depression and crises. There’s a reason socialists were against FDR’s New Deal, it was a rival to socialist revolution.
    1
  8519.  @twochordcool  don’t matter. I understand the impulse but all centralization of government do is make people see big government as a good thing, and leave the infrastructure ready for a far right movement to use it effectively towards their agenda. The Nazis used the welfare state of the social democratic Weimar Republic to their advantage. Fascists also thought they were compromising socialism and capitalism, and called it Third Position. The answer is post-capitalism, actual socialism. Meaning replacing wage work with labor associations. Socializing production.

  8521. The old Western colonialist agenda. They use the excuse of going after Hamas to ethnically cleanse Gaza and the ruling powers take the land. Settler-colonialism are ongoing projects that a neither addressed nor attempted at resolving. Native populations are either removed or forced to assimilate, while having no autonomy or control over natural resources and necessities of human existence. These are human rights issues that need to be emphasized and at the front of humanitarian efforts. Israel is a disgrace to their ancestors, and they are no better than the Nazis in their Zionist extremism. "We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians." “If one has to refer to any of the parties as a terrorist state, one might refer to the Israeli government, because they are the people who are slaughtering defenseless and innocent Arabs in the occupied [Palestinian] territories, and we don’t regard that as acceptable.” — Nelson Mandela

  8522. This is the problem with “leftists” supporting big government. It’s anathema to leftist goals. Centralization of government only gives opposition an infrastructure to take over and use to their agenda. The federal has too much power. Executive is ever becoming a monarchy.

Forms of Fascism you’ll find among right wing reactionaries and nationalists, who choose an identity and social hegemony over individual liberties and autonomy. This is present among right wing parties, like white nationalists, supremacists etc... No this is not what anyone in the American left sphere of politics want.

  8525. The Awoken and Broken Matt Hardy Libertarian is a synonym for Anarchism. It is the political ideology that social organization should be predicated on free associations and no coercive institutions. American “libertarians” aren’t libertarians. Libertarianism is socioeconomically Socialist and anti-Capitalist. We don’t create political parties, we take direct action. Never mind the lowercase or uppercase, Libertarianism is the Stateless branch of Socialism.
    1
  8526. The Awoken and Broken Matt Hardy They are in fact one and the same. The first to call themselves Libertarian was Anarcho-Communist Joseph DeJaques. Just as the first to coin Anarchism in the modern sense was Pierre Joseph-Proudhon who founded Mutualism and was part of the larger Libertarian Socialist movement. Libertarianism is Anarchism, it is the pinnacle of liberty, individualism, and free societies. It is the spawn of Liberalism which came just before but was still not against States and for limited governments.
    1
  8527. The Awoken and Broken Matt Hardy You actually do. I’m going by historical precedent. Anarchists used Libertarian more when they were being censored. Anarchism was also known as Libertarian Socialism. No capitalist advocates called themselves libertarian or anarchists until the propaganda of American Capitalists. They claim they are rooted in Individualist Anarchists, yet Josiah Warren, Benjamin Tucker, Spooner all called themselves Socialists, and staunchly anti-Capitalist. My grievance with the political compass is that it claims left-right is based on economics. Untrue, as historically it is based on government types. Hence Anarchism/Libertarianism is the most left wing stance, and Totalitarianism/Fascism the most right wing. One can be a liberal and socialist, as seen in the Paris Commune Democratic Socialist government. Or one can be a Libertarian Socialist an Anarchist as seen Revolutionary Catalonia. The root liberty is in both Libertarianism and Liberalism. One is for the dissolution of all coercive institutions and government bodies for autonomous free associative and decentralized stateless social organization. The other is about limited government, republic models, parliamentary politics, civil liberties and rights protected by government, social contract etc... I don’t know what you go by, but I’m going by historical precedence and many literature on Anarchism.

What can be argued is whether the structures set up make that the reality or not. I tend to agree with Spooner on the Constitution

  8531. jerry benjamin So if someone like Bernie who has ran insistently on not being corrupt suddenly turns on that how is that helpful to his campaign and the trust he’s built? If it comes to a progressive candidate that receives small donations and no large PACs against a Republican receiving all the cash, specifically Trump I’d bet the progressive will win. As the Democratic nominee he’d still have mainstream media coverage, can walk with pride as a candidate not influenced by special interests which would be big for the working class, and continue to hammer down the progressive priorities meant for the public and not the wealthy. I think they’ll do just fine without corporate PACS in the general, in fact it’ll only help them. Not mention that a lot would vote Trump out just cause they hate him, even so bring out his tax cuts for the rich. The political landscape has changed, people want actual Social Liberalism and Social Democracy. People want more populist ideas, a New Deal.

As a libertarian socialist in the US I can certainly say there is no leftist channel in MSM or national narratives. And Bernie Sanders to us is a liberal corporatist, a moderate capitalist social democrat. Only middles class collegiate students and suburbanites are into this type of “social liberalism.” Leftists are about the labor organizing currents and proletariat-agricultural revolution of society. Bourgeois culture is just another way of avoiding the class consciousness solidifying itself into a Syndicalist and radical movement.

Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise.

Now do I wish the worst on people? No. I’m not going to actively bother myself with wishes. But I’m not going to feel sorry for someone so narcissistic either that wouldn’t/doesn’t care about “lessers”. Trump isn’t a fascist, he’s a corrupt liberal capitalist. A kleptocrat and a kakistocrat. I’m not jumping for joy, and I’m not celebrating if he goes either. That’s my egoist stance. Spiritual people would rather not stain their soul/spirit with negativity, and would rather spread positivity out in the world in the hopes it’ll spread and nourish. But for me it’s nothing, I don’t care he got COVID, I didn’t desire it, but I’m not feeling sorry. Neither am I celebrating it. Life to me is sacred so long as it’s free, but there could be some folks I genuinely would not care if they passed on if they have actively limited the freedom of life. On this matter a lot of people tend to be hypocritical or confused.

Lots of the language in this country is based in bourgeois culture, and what Americans call social liberalism. However the working class aren’t stupid, they understand these things without flare.

  8591. It’s just a grift with this guy and he’s captured by his audience. First off class solidarity means divesting oneself of bigotries and racisms they were socialized into believing as obstacles against class consciousness. It’s not the abandonment of civil rights and social justice, it’s not forgetting about Trans rights and minority plights. It’s about the working class realizing those identities aren’t cause for hatred and discrimination, that it’s a tool and agenda for the capitalist class to maintain power while they give you someone to direct your vitriol at instead of them. Class consciousness and solidarity always meant the working class uniting under class interests by divesting themselves of all arbitrary social hierarchies they have been socialized with to maintain them divided. The white worker who goes on about anti-LGBTQ+ or thinks racial issues are not important aren’t class conscious, they buy into the arbitrary divisions and are not focusing on the real enemy. They are useful tools for the capitalist state, and have chosen the paradigm of the established order rather than awakening their solidarity with their fellow workers. There is no class consciousness if you believe the social issues that effect many workers are problematic or harmful for gaining political capital. It’s being an ally to the issues that your fellow workers struggle against, and realizing that bigotries and discriminatory policies and practices are there to prevent unity and are the real obstacles to class solidarity. That was the whole program of the IWW, educating white workers that the racist policies and social institutions were just tools of the enemy and they must stand for Civil Rights and United with their multiracial class and communities, and social justice. Anyone who would water down and lessened the need to stand with Trans people against the Draconian polices being implemented by Red States isn’t an ally or showing class solidarity, they’re lapdogs for capital’s interests in fomenting division and white straight supremacy.

  8592.  @MotherOfOwlbears  rape was rape. Jefferson likely didn’t force himself upon her, in fact it seems Sally did have feelings for him. But the fact is their power dynamic was one of owner and property and regardless Sally Hemmings could not consent in any normal sense as she was property. So by all accounts it was rape, as Jefferson could do whatever he wanted to legal property. The largest stain on Jefferson’s legacy was the issue of slavery and not fighting hard enough for it’s abolition despite his own ideals.

  8594. Paramone Gaming funny cause Thomas Paine who was considered the most radical of American Founding Father’s was the first to propose social welfare, citizen’s dividend (UBI), and early proponent of egalitarian radical democracy. Liberalism can be capitalist and bourgeoisie. But there is also a socialist and labor strain on which Market Socialism derives from. Early liberals like Thomas Hodgskin who wrote “Labor Defended Against the Claims of Capital” were anti-capitalists, in which the propertied elite were turning liberal economics in favor of capital. Hence the primacy of capital instead of labor. Such an egregious turn of events lead to the rise of Mutualists in America like Josiah Warren, Benjamin Tucker, Lysander Spooner etc... and the Individualist Free Market Anarchists. Essentially their analysis was given the ideals of liberalism that the natural conclusion is Market Socialism. In the past the economy was mostly agrarian and artisanal, where economic actors or worker’s owned their tools and produce themselves to market, that was classical liberalism. Post-industrialism lead to the primacy of capital aka capitalism, and the bourgeois elites, the proprietors of machines, new tech, and wealth turned liberal economics the capital route. The backlash towards industrial capitalism was real, the first French Republic post-revolution failed because of bourgeoisie capitalism, the US had a major conflict known as the Civil War, and the issues were racial and economic. Particularly farmers and artisans feared the expansion of capitalism and was very much a hot topic for debate. Lincoln and Republicans had some labor support, despite it being in many ways a bourgeois party since Lincoln expressed wage labor should only be a temporary issue not a perpetual system. And the Southern slavers feared industrialization. Remember “capitalist” was first a pejorative, then anti-capitalists or socialists created the term “capitalism” to designate that system which they were against that relied on wage labor, and capital, wealth accumulation of an upper class. Liberalism essentially is a political and economic doctrine of liberty, limited government, and natural rights. Other facets like individualism, social contract, and democracy as well. This is all not incompatible with Socialism, seeing as socialism was a left wing ideology born from liberal and revolutionary circles. Hence why liberals like Thomas Hodgskin, James Mill, John Stuart Mill Rosseau etc... were in their time self proclaimed socialists or anti-capitalists, or ideologues that were precursors to socialist doctrine and ideology. "Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration." Lincoln's First Annual Message to Congress, December 3, 1861.

  8619. Ronald Matthews he’s not at all anti-establishment. That’s just rhetoric to maintain support. The actual policy helps the mega wealthy. Some in the rust belt are already supporting Bernie. Corporations take their tax cuts and move shop to exploit labor elsewhere in the world. Trump evidently doesn’t reject globalism. When people refer to globalism there is confusion. The problem is economic globalism, neoliberalism that Corporations move capital and labor to wherever labor is cheap. Trump literally made NAFTA 2.0, which wasn’t altogether different form the original. As for PC cultural wars, well that’s a center-right liberal and right wing conservative issue. The actual far left has never given a crap about protecting institutions and the State. Even moderate Social Democrats are beyond petty culture conflicts and are more concerned with socioeconomics, and policy substance, and the actual issues of Corporatism and grotesque concentration of wealth and power among business and political elites.
    1
  8620. Ronald Matthews so the liberal elite establishment hates the conservative establishment... what’s the difference they’re both the establishment. Today’s liberals seem to be socially liberal, but aren’t at all like the Modern Liberals of FDR’s era. Modern Liberalism isn’t just socially progressive, but economically as well. They believed people or individuals would thrive by being allowed more social mobility and social welfare in the post-industrial and corporate world. Today’s liberals and democratic establishment are center-right neoliberals and Corporative. That’s not what the modern liberalism is. As you can see by the political groups of every other developed nation who support social safety nets. The “liberal” establishment is no longer what it was, they are Corporative and elitist. Since the New Deal the Democrats moved further right of center. It’s why we see Social Democrats like Bernie considered radical left, when he’s the standard moderate of European nations. He’s not even a Socialist. Socialism is incompatible with Capitalism, it calls for classless society and post-Capitalist worker owned factors of production. Social Democrats don’t get rid of Capitalism. Trump isn’t anti-establishment he does everything they want, serving corporations. He’s just less rhetorical and more blunt, doesn’t mean his policies aren’t helping the elites.

  8622.  @HypatiaMuse  you can move to more enlightened areas or yourselves build more enlightened liberal and libertarian communities in those states, like islands within a red sea. I know it sounds rough or like tough love but we must see that the best structure for freedom is to decentralize political power to the smallest units. This has been the leftist position of federalism. Centralization of powers is what leads to imperial powers, wars for profits sake, and liberal hubs not even being able to get a competent healthcare system going for themselves. Leftism has always been for the federal decentralization of powers. If you can’t financially move, well a federal system would make it easier for people to move about as jobs and labor, freedom of movement is required to maintain a thriving economy. Those red states would need to advance to catch up. Sooner or later they’ll see what actually benefits them or not. It’s not about leaving behind, it’s about more freedom and self-government. Progress and remember solidarity. No leftists will leave behind people, not even those that hate us. Mutual aid networks are built for community and services.

Conservatives supported the Monarchy, supported slavery, supported segregation, supported forced miscegenation, supported discrimination against women, people of color, and anyone different because “that’s how it’s always been”

  8628. Umi sharqi Fair point. I forgot that tidbit. Yet it wasn’t as easy choices as you make them out to be. They wouldn’t choose the Wall, they are noble lords, they chose to ally with Lannister’s for disagreeing with their liege lords and fearing foreign invaders. And a bit of gold and extra titles probably. These are people who don’t know the real threat, the Walkers, and believe the biggest threat are three dragons and a Conqueror. Tarly remained loyal to the Targaryens in Robert’s Rebellion, and handed Robert his only defeat in the war. He was prisoner to Robert but out of respect for his martial prowess, and to gain a bit of loyalty Robert gave Tarly his lands and titles back. Perhaps Tarly felt he learned from experience and chose to go against his sworn leaders. His liege lords sided with Daenerys, but his Queen was Cersei, Roberts wife. Ultimately he chose his monarch over his liege. He was neither wrong nor right I think, but ultimately it’s Daenerys being a Conqueror that drove their fate. Agree with it or not Dany is behaving like Aegon the Conqueror. Some would say he brought peace and united 6 kingdoms, others would call him a Conqueror that conquered because he could with dragons.

  8642. donHooligan he’s not. Actual Fascists would have been against Biden. Biden is a neoliberal, a liberal capitalist.... Fascists are anti-liberal capitalism. They are Corporatists, collective bargaining on a nationalist Syndicalist scale. Liberal corporatism (New Deal) and Social Democracy (Dirigisme) is closer to Fascists economics than neoliberalism. They’re both authoritarian but that’s all they have in common. The neoliberals want the rule of capital, an oligarchy of capital. Fascists are anti-liberal nationalists that wanted to end the power of financial capitalism for a nationalist corporative economics. Think New Deal on steroids in every aspect of social, economic and political life. On a visit to New York, Mussolini said to Grover Whalen, Chairman of Mayor Fiorello La Guardia's Committee on Receptions to Distinguished Guests, "You want to know what Fascism is? It is like your New Deal.”
    1
  8643. donHooligan no man Fascism is an actual political doctrine of far right nationalism and nationalist syndicalism, or corporatism. Corporatism means society organized in interest sectors (corporations) to work together through the State for the collective good. So the collective bargaining of capital and worker interests mediated by the government. Corporatocracy is when power resides in big capital, business corporations make the rules which is more what neoliberal capitalism has lead to. Fascists were anti-liberal capitalism they would actually hate Biden or Trump. In fact keeping tabs on actual Fascists I found they hate Trump as another neoliberal capitalist. Trump is just another corporate oligarch not an actual Fascist. Hitler himself admired FDR’s approach, saying, “I have sympathy with President Roosevelt because he marches straight toward his objective over Congress, over lobbies, over stubborn bureaucracies. Hitler likewise congratulated Roosevelt for "his heroic effort in the interest of the American People." He added: “ The President's successful struggle against economic distress is being followed by the entire German People with interest and admiration. The Reich Chancellor is in accord with the President that the virtues of sense of duty, readiness for sacrifice, and discipline must be the supreme rule of the whole Nation. This moral demand, which the President is addressing to every single citizen, is also the quintessence of German philosophy of the State, expressed in its motto "The public weal before private gain." But Hitler's admiration for Roosevelt gave way to contempt upon the opening of hostilities. With the German declaration of war against the United States, Hitler would deprecate Roosevelt, not as a tool of the Bolsheviks, but as "the candidate of a Capitalist Party." Roosevelt’s administration was liberal corporatist though not far right fascist. Liberal corporatism keeps the liberal aspects of capitalism, individual sovereignty. The Fascists want the individual (and capital) to serve the State

  8644. donHooligan sorry for getting aggressive. I called your moron and that was unnecessary. I have also liked your comments. It just makes me mad that progressive social democrats, which in the general political spectrum is still right wing for they aren’t anti-capitalists, are trying to sound more revolutionary than a libertarian socialist intellectual like Chomsky. The guy has been pushing for direct action and popular assembly his whole career and he, in his experience supports using the vote for the Democrats to decelerate the rise of far right extremism, leads to backlash of calling him a right winger and false leftist. He’s actual leftist, a libertarian socialist and anti-capitalist, more than any social democrat. It’s just more proof of how out of whack the American political spectrum actually is.

  8647. Dat Boi The Individualists opposed capitalism as a system of privilege, exploitation, accumulation without limit, theft, abuse, and wage slavery, all supported by the coercive authority of the state. Students of the principles of classical political economy — the ideas of Smith, Ricardo, and Mill, et al. — the Individualists contended that the full realization of those principles and ideas meant an economic paradigm very different from capitalism, which they viewed as the successor of feudalism and mercantilism as a political, rather than economic creature. “Laissez-faire,” they said, had been improperly and spuriously leveraged for the defense of a system of injustices that in fact had nothing to do with legitimate free markets. Capitalists, the idle rich, were only able to profit from the labors of the industrious because they were protected by unfair advantages, embodied in law, that allowed them to escape the natural outcomes and pressures of genuine, full-fledged competition.

Heck before Lenin, the USA had an important Marxist figure in Daniel DeLeon. Before the Marxist-Leninist centralized State Socialism BS; DeLeon was advocating an American Marxian revolution. It was more orthodox or classical Marxism, replacing the political federation, with an industrial federal republic and administration.

  8655. Antonio Sosa actually State Capitalism was coined by Lenin and he didn’t reject it. It was what happened. Marxist-Leninists has a State controlled economy where bureaucrats and the State replaced Capitalists. The larger ideal of Socialism is post-Capitalism. Because of this and their authoritarian regime many left wing Socialists like Council Communists and Libertarian Socialists (Anarchists) criticizes the Soviet Union. Marxist-Leninism is one strain of Socialism, but it is not the only strain or school of Socialist thought. Marxist-Leninism is Lenin’s revolutionary politics and his interpretation of Marxism. The ideals of an elite Vanguard Party, Democratic Centrism (centralized top-bottom decision making), bureaucratic administration, and complete command economy were all Lenin’s politics for achieving Socialism. They of course failed at creating a post-Capitalist system and all they did was continue to use Capitalism ran by the State instead of individual Capitalist markets. There are Socialist schools that may advocate markets, and many are more decentralized and Democratic. Such as Council Communism, Democratic Socialism (not Bernie’s Social Democracy), Libertarian Socialism (Anarchism) etc... Socialism doesn’t mean nationalization and government welfare and subsidies. Socialism advocates forms of social ownership of the factors of production and classless society. It is post-Capitalist.

A classical liberal is a Geoist, believed in limited government, supports welfare, and attacks monopolist capitalism. Liberals are for opened borders, against IP, and civic liberal/libertarian. Idiots like Pool want government to control social behavior, and interfere with personal lives. When in the face of a genuine liberal Pool would seethe at proper liberal stances. No classical liberal votes or supports republicans, we’re also anti-clerical and while for religious tolerance we ourselves are atheist and agnostic. Or at least liberal theologians like the founding fathers were Unitarians, Universalists, and Deists. Even a traditionalist like John Adams rejected Jesus divinity. Jefferson was near a Christian atheist (following Christian morality, rejecting deity) and Paine… well rest in power to our radical forefather.

  8672.  @georgyboi4487 the fact that you call any politician in the US far left shows you’re literally just ignorant. I’ve yet to see a single post-capitalist in American government. Furthest left you got is Bernie, a social democrat that is considered moderate in majority of developed nations

Social conservatism is an illiberal aberration nothing to do with the traditionalist politics of the Federalists like John Adams and Hamilton. True conservatives were people like Barry Goldwater, who warned Americans of religious zealots taking over the party, and philosophers like William F Buckley or Russell Kirk. Pool, Shapiro, Rubin, Charlie Kirk etc… are all just social conservatives and reactionaries. The genuine American traditionalist is liberal to a degree, and like Goldwater holds distaste for religious social conservatism

Anyone that talks garbage and ignorance about Antifa is not anarchist. At most Pool listens to Punk and was some white rebellious teenager before he found money in spreading misinformation and right wing rhetoric funded by corporations. Oh yeah anarchists hate capitalism since the beginning. Long live Pierre J Proudhon

  8675. JC Rios well Anarchism is also known as libertarian socialism so... it’s always been the anti-authoritarian strain of socialism the difference is anarchists promote federations and confederations not of states but of decentralized worker’s syndicates or communes. It deals not in politics but in socioeconomics. The worker’s in direct ownership and industrial democracy from the bottom up and and elected delegates subject to immediate revocation. Whereas more Marxist forms are centralized powers and top-down bureaucracy. Though not all Marxism is socialism as there are also ideas of liberal worker’s republics and democracies.

Of course America has a constitution protecting unalienable rights but even now we see violations to those secured rights with the NSA, gay rights etc... This is why the founders dislike the idea of direct democracy which they deemed mob rule. Also there is the aspect that people aren't always knowledgeable enough to make decisions that impact everyone. But that doesn't mean a direct process like for what Kyle has in mind is wrong, you just need to find out how it'll work well enough that it wouldn't hurt the nation.

Which they could just use Biden’s corruption to win public over. But they should focus on Trump’s violations of the emoluments cause for and his supporting arming Jihadists in Yemen.

  8683. More more socially liberal. Meaning I believe progress comes through greater liberty, not through legislating progress. I mean I’m iffy on government telling shop owners what they can or can’t do, there are ways to deal with that without resorting to government interference. Such as boycott and protest. Also religious institutions that don’t believe in lgbtq marriage go ahead and refuse it. But tax exemption should not be given, and also keep at it. There’s a reason people are driven away from religion and it’s beautiful to see. I think we should think more on running to the government as if it weren’t a huge source of our problems. Society and government are not the same thing.

  8685. Pretty sure conservatives are the ones who want to maintain traditional hierarchies and social structures. How is letting LGBTG+ live their lives an oppressive hierarchy? Oppressive is seeking to legislate over the lives of private citizens and interfering with their individual sovereignty. I think most people even some conservatives would agree that the US was founded on Enlightenment principles and liberal values of the law of equal liberty, live and let live. It’s always conservatives who hate that American tradition should be liberalism

  8688. Arrogant Ambassador Old Testament: “You shall not oppress or exploit your neighbor... love your neighbor as yourself” Leviticus 19:13, 18 “[God] enacts justice for orphans and widows, and he loves immigrants, giving them food and clothing. That means you must also love immigrants because you were immigrants... “ Deuteronomy 10:17-19 “Don’t take advantage of poor or needy workers, whether they are fellow Israelites or immigrants who live in your land or your cities.” Deuteronomy 24:14 “Give justice to the weak and the fatherless, maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” Psalms 82:3-4 New Testament: “All who believed were together and had all things in common, and they sold their possessions and goods and divided them among all men, as every man had need.” Acts 2:44-45 “And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul; neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.” Acts 4:32 “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you posses and give to the poor.” Matthew 19:21 “When you give a feast, invite the poor, maimed, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you.” Luke 14:13-14 “Distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.” Acts 4:35

  8690. 1911GreaterThanALL yeah one authoritarian group doesn’t encompass the whole of the left. And just cause traditionally politics are done with the facade of decorum doesn’t mean it has to remain that way. In fact honesty helps a politician, as we see with Sanders or even Trump, in the ways in which the latter seemingly holds nothing back. It’s an illusion, back in the day politicians challenged duels for offenses. That’s archaic but the point is the facades aren’t exactly inherent to politics. At least for constituents it’s best they be honest, the power plays and deceit are for politicians against fellow politicians.

  8695.  @edwardskoda2409  nah don’t even try that bull. I’ve never been on Twitter but no one was being banned for having conservative beliefs. This guy is banning his critics. No one was censored for being Constitutionalists, for traditional custom, for being a Republican, or for advocating some form of limited government. What was getting banned were reactionaries with nefarious intentions and promoting hatred and bigotry. And even then it wasn’t everyone. Far right really love to complain about being censored through their Twitter posts. The right is becoming so extremist reactionary views are becoming more acceptable and conservatism dying. There are traditionalists lamenting the take over of social conservatives and nationalists; John Adams and Hamilton are rolling in their graves. Goldwater warned people this would happen when the Republican Party were taken by zealots and extremist social conservatives. If you identify with the far right movement check yourself, Traditionalists need to reform the classical tradition.

Americans were respectful of the casualties of the Soviets to defend the world from Fascism. A communist killed Mussolini. The Soviets liberated Germany. It wasn’t until the Cold War that red scare propaganda turned Americans against Soviets. Until then they were seen as allies and Americans respected their self determination and sovereignty. That’s said as a libertarian socialist I oppose State Socialism and Marxist-Leninism

Like white people are the descendants of Nephilim, and being devil’s spawn is why many are racists with a superiority complex. The rebel angels Samyaza and Azazel were imprisoned on the Caucasus Mountains after the Great Deluge where they twisted the Caucasian race with their devil see and reproduced the Nephilim race of giants. These Indo-European races would go on conquests of power and subjugate the children of Adam and Eve, as the white race would be in eternal conflict with the Children of God etc… This being the Aryan race the Nazis tried to replicate.

  8709. Matt Stoller is actually more accurate. Being the founder of American Capitalism isn’t in this age a good thing. He was an elitist, crushed the the Whiskey Rebellion, and was a plutocrat. His system later called American School brought into fruition during Lincoln’s GOP was the beginning of capitalists ruling. Superior to slavery, but not the best system. Hamilton like all others is nuanced, but yeah he was pretty bad, authoritative, and wanted the rule of wealth. Populism arose against Hamiltonian economics.

  8723. cheezemonkeyeater FDR was really a moderate like Bernie. Sustain Capitalism and have more economic and social justice. But he wasn’t a radical or revolutionary. Neither is Bernie. Social Democrats are for class collaboration not class struggle
    1
  8724. Peter West yeah but FDR wasn’t a Fascist advocating the Corporate State. He was a modern social liberal who sought liberalism from State Capitalism of the robber barons. Classical liberalism is not the same as capitalism which started in the mid 19th century. In fact classical Liberalism gave rise to the early socialists like Thomas Hodgskin, David Ricardo, and John Stuart Mill. Social Democracy and FDR’s New Deal Coalition were and are a moderate take on class relations. It implements class collaboration instead of struggle, and government mediation between labor and business interests. Whereas the Fascists were extreme Corporative where the whole of society is made of corporations or bodies.
    1
  8725. Peter West yes but Corporatism isn’t just concerned about labor and business relations. The entirety of society is subdivided into corporations such as labor and capital according to industry, science, medical, educational etc... all corporations mediated by the State for national interest. Mussolini said “You want to know what Fascism is? It is your New Deal.” Fascists saw FDR’s New Deal as a crude form of what their socioeconomic doctrine was. However this is why socialists like me want to go beyond Social Democracy, it is not post-capitalist, it maintains the capitalist status quo, and it is not committed to class struggle but class collaboration. It can be arguably a very moderate Corporatism, but again not as extreme as Fascism. Fascism goes beyond labor/union and capital/business interests and is far more Nationalist. The real American hero of the against Capitalism was not FDR, but Eugene V. Debs
    1
  8726. PauliBhoy FDR saved capitalism. As usual moderate reformism like the New Deal and Social Democracies are still rules by capital. To the point where the US is back to robber barons and near unfettered capitalism. Unfortunately Socialism was hindered by the New Deal and Roosevelt’s administration.
    1
  8727. PauliBhoy yeah that was a brain fart my bad. I was thinking of the Socialist Party he founded which was still fighting for Democratic Socialism until the New Deal basically did away with it. And explain what I advocate isn’t Socialism? I haven’t advocated anything. But Eugene Debs was an actual Democratic Socialist. I’m a Libertarian Socialist. What I was saying is Social Democracy is a moderate position in which class collaboration is promoted over struggle. And capitalism remains as the status quo. Government mediating between labor and business interests is similar to the Fascist Corporate State. In that Fascists believed in class collaboration towards national interests. The State regulating interest groups known as corporations or fascii. This isn’t to say Social Democracy is bad, or the exact same as Corporatism, but it’s not radical or revolutionary, it is not Socialist.
    1
  8728. Peter West you’re talking to a libertarian socialist. I know what I’m talking about. And yes Market Socialism is a strain, the most radical being Free Market Anarchism like Benjamin Tucker and Proudhon’s Mutualism. Socialism isn’t just public ownership, that has variations. From communes, to syndicalism, State ownership, industrial federation/confederation, worker coops, collectives etc.... It’s a stride towards classless society. I don’t know if I mentioned here but I did say capitalism is a 19th century invention well after classical liberalism. Market system and capitalism aren’t synonymous. Classical liberals like David Ricardo, Thomas Hodgskin, John Stuart Mill were precursors to Socialism. Capitalism is a distinct socioeconomic system sustained by wage labor and underclasses ruled by capital. Social Democracy is not against capitalism, it just reforms it. Corporatism maintains the capitalist mode of production, the word privatization was literally made for the Nazis economy, but uses it for National interests through collective bargaining yes. Capitalism was never liberal, it was never free markets it was always about State privileges to capital, the ruling class. According to socialists like Proudhon capitalism is monopolistic and impedes free competition in free enterprise. Actual free markets have Democratic industrialization, competitive currencies, and competition so rampant the value of labor is the only value, and profit, rent, and interest are eradicated. Also property norms of Occupancy and Use. But this is the Market Socialist camp. Corporatism is still capitalism, it’s just not “liberal” capitalism where capitalists have no care but for individual profit. And like I said before Fascist Corporatism isn’t just about labor and business interests, it turns the whole of society into a Corporate State. Where corporations, syndicates, guilds, fascii, interest groups or whatever you want to call them are regulated by the government. And Social Democracy is a very moderate form of that kind of model in it’s mediation of labor and business interests, but remains liberal and concerned for social and economic justice, not nationalism.
