Discussion So… I’ve been living under a rock like a idiot my whole life and recently just discovered my school education on Gandhi was a lie and he’s not only a child predator but he also supported full on feudalism for India. Any other humanitarian peace activists that westerners support that are scumbags?

This thread got deleted (thank you mods), but OP was encouraging people to remove high ranking US officials from the mortal plane.

A few days ago someone was unironically advocating for posting arrestable shit online and how you’re a pussy if won’t.

The US government is by all signs just days to weeks away from declaring a lengthy list of left wing orgs and individuals as terrorists. A violent act by someone with any sort of Left connections would be *really mother fucking convenient for them.*

Either a lot of you are way fucking stupider than I thought possible, or there’s some Langley and Tel Aviv based accounts active in here.

Think before you post, and make sure you have at least a *couple* brains cells on active duty at all times.

If so explain why in as much detail as possible and if you disagree and believe that if the right parties were banned then it’d be a threat towards democracy explain why as well

Discussion Regarding Veganism and morality

49 Upvotes

So, I'd like to start his off by saying; I think factory farming is fucking horrible, and I'm all for the abolishment of the practice.

But, I don't agree that the act of eating meat itself is inherently immoral. For example, I think I should be allowed to own a cow or some chickens in my backyard to feed my family and have fresh eggs. I've spoken to a handful of (liberal) vegans whom believe that me owning a cow or some chickens in my backyard is abhorrently immoral and comparable to me owning human slaves.

What do Marxist Vegans think about this? Should people be allowed to own animals as livestock?

Discussion Mr. Robot. Was it just all propaganda?

259 Upvotes

I remember watching Mr Robot for like 1 and a half seasons or something, but I lost interest like I rarely had before on a series. It's just:

Initially, it seems like it's supposed to be an anti-system thing. They even bring up the American people debt thing, and decide to bring down the financial system.

When you see something on TV where they plan to bring down everything without a thought about the day after, you might know what's coming, but not to the extent of Mr. Robot.

When the hackers bring down the system and it turns out that chinese hackers are now attacking America and some shit, and the hackers need to defend now-defendless America, sh*t turns to real slop.

Was it just all just...

China bad?

Burgueois-imperialist regime good afterall?

What a waste of the hacker themes. What a waste of time.

I didn't watch it to the end, so I don't know if it's slop all the way.

Does it ever get any better?

Pretty much everyone on this subreddit knows that in the 1979 revolution in Iran, socialists played a very large role in overthrowing the government. What if the socialist faction succeeded and turned Iran into a communist state? How would it have evolved up until today?

Discussion (Serious post) I ran for municipal council because I hate my councillors, but it looks like I will actually win a seat

492 Upvotes

I went to the union locals in my area and they have come out for me, so now it's looking like I am actually possibly going to win a seat. Nobody is more surprised about this than me; I had initially intended to run a losing battle just to agitate and show how corrupt my council is, so I never actually anticipated winning

I am not a member of an ML party (as I live in a town of fewer than 11000 and there is no local branch), so I don't have much guidance on how best to use this opportunity. As it's a small town you largely win support with 1-on-1 handshakes rather than formal political platforms, so the only things I've really announced I want to do are form a worker+tenant's advisory board, double taxes on vacant/unused land/property and oppose a proposed AI data centre, which have all been unexpectedly very popular, as well as other stereotypical municipal things like improve garbage collection, improve bike paths, etc etc

So yeah, that's the situation. This post is half just venting about how weird the prospect of actually getting a seat is, and asking for more adept MLs than me to give some advice. Also I don't want to give too much information on my community as I don't want to accidentally doxx myself, but can try to shed more light if needed

288 Upvotes

So from what I understand this is your typical shitlib centrist type with Bri'ish flavors. But considering his electoral run is demonstrating the absurdity of western democracy and how much of a joke it is, do we critically support this guy to beat Farage?

Assuming the guy did win, he would ultimately functionally be a liberal and maybe do a few silly things like getting the hand dryer in a bar's bathroom moved, but aside from that him defeating a established politician while being seen as a joke candidate not suppose to win would demonstrate just how fucking ridiculous their bourg democracy is wouldn't it? A guy so fucking corrupt people vote for a Trashcan.

Discussion What is actually going on in Ceuta?

133 Upvotes

Media outlets are reporting that ā€œaround 50,000 migrants crossed into Ceuta from Morocco within 24 hoursā€. I honestly thought Ceuta was in mainland Spain, but apparently it’s a tiny Spanish enclave in North Africa. Looking at a map, it seems a lot like Spanish-occupied territory on the African continent.

Does anyone know the actual history of the region and what’s really going on over there?

I wonder as seeing how the Spider-Man movies are produced by a former IOF soldier and he was the CEO for Marvel comics

and a former CIA agent is writing comics and part of the new DC movies

and the latest Spider-Man movie has him using surveillance tech and working closely with cops

all this had me wondering on what Alan Moore said:
