Especially that Max Stirner guy, amIright?

Like when I ask people my age what they think about climate change, everyone generally agrees that it’s hopeless, but they also usually say “I try not to think about it”. And I get the impulse but like, if we all agree it’s a problem, there’s power in that!! We could actually do something!! We just need to actually do it, instead of “not think about it”.

Those people don’t see a realistic pathway in which their actions could contribute in any way to the problem. Our task on the left is to build working class-led organisations which do provide people with an avenue to contribute something meaningful.

So as always, the answer is “organise!”

However, when doing that, you’ll probably won’t have the recources to tackle those kind of GLobal issues, and you’mm have to occupy yourself with things which are small enough that a small, dedicated group can influence, which also feels important enough for people to care about.

Thanks!

Can you be slightly more specific? :)

Calling these types 12 year olds will have so much mileage.

no it won’t

Not with that attitude!

Start organising with like-minded people. Fatalism is a result of being informed and not using that information for change.

People’s consciousness will change if they struggle with you. They won’t understand from theory, they’ll learn by standing by your side in trying to enact common-sense reforms and seeing how the state/their employer reacts to it.

Great pamphlet that relates to your question: https://frso.org/main-documents/some-points-on-the-mass-line/

I don’t know about PSOE, but the vice-prime minister is a member of the communist party. They are pro-Palestine, without a doubt.

His mother worked on the US embassy in Indonesia, his steph father worked for the military dictatorship in Indonesia during their genocide on the Indonesian communist party (2 million people were killed, the party had 1 million members).

Here’s a fragment from Obama’s autobiography about a conversation with his Indonesian steph-father:

My source is: The Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins. A great book. (I’d also reccomend the film The Act of Killing, but save it for after you’ve read this book.)

The US military and it’s think tank-proxies constantly produces this type of reports to legitimate receiving additional recources. There’s a great Citations Needed episode about it, episode 117: The Always ‘Lagging’ U.S. War Machine https://soundcloud.com/citationsneeded/episode-117-the-always-lagging-us-war-machine

Top administration officials also have preparing a new national defense strategy that is expected to make homeland defense the nation’s top concern, after several years of China being identified as the top national security risk to the United States.

Does this mean the military is going to be used inside the USA, on their own population, on a previously unseen scale?

Leftists don’t give a shit about hurting or shooting living beings. Anyone who does is vegan.

Most people who eat meat are completely alienated from how their food is killed and produced and don’t have the stomach to do it themselves. Many believe fairytale-like stories about happy farm animals being killed in a humane fashion.

Perhaps one could say that this is some form of hypocrisy, but I think it’s good thing: this sort of alienation of preferable over ethousiastically taking part in it.

Maoist being not welcomed any more.

Why is that? It’s not so long aho that a maoist uprising defeated the absolute monarchy in Nepal. What has become of them?

And do you also know about the differences between CPN (UML) en the maoists?

Try to prevent that from happening by not engaging in talks about politics with them. It’s hard to convince your family, harder than convincing anyone else perhaps, try not to lose them by engaging in a futile activity.

They have a bigger change than you think. A recent hypothetical poll put them at 10% national support (without that party actually existing or them campaigning!), and it’s very likely that their spontaneous support is highly concentrated in urban areas and the red wall. That means they’r competitive in those seats. Now imagine them going in to an alliance with the Green party (=15%) and they’re already bigger than the LibDems. Now if they start campaigning, and they manage to increase the turnout by 1%, steal 1% of the LibDems, and 2% of Labour and Reform each (respectively disengaged poor/working class people with whom leftist socio-economic plans resonate, dissapointed middle class Labour-voters who went to the liberals, dissapointed leftists who vote Labour because it’s the best thing on the ballot, and dissapointed Labour voters who’re “giving Reform a chance”), and you’ve suddenly got yourself the second biggest party in the election.

literal baby-eating slaveowners

Strange. I’d love to retire already lmao

On top of everything which is said already I just want to add: my personal experience with old people is that they become very stuborn. (Anyone trying to tell an older relative that it’s time to move to an assisted living situation can probably confirm that.) So I guess that once those those politicians cross a certain age-treshold, you can never, ever convince them anymore that they’re no longer the right person for the job, especially not if you’re trying to argue that their age is the problem.

Except for the hiding part. This is quite open. I’m assuming all the billionaires are goin to pour money in a republican campaign which highlights this during the general electon. But perhaps, if his ground game is good enough, it won’t matter. Inshallah.

He’s so shocked and horrified that someone has won an election on a socialdemocratic platform that he can’t put his fears in to words anymore. He was so used to Chuck Schumer being “the left” that this moment comes across to him like the Weather Underground or the Rote Armee Fraction has taken power in NYC.
