🗽UNITED STATES POLITICS 🦅
< Ecce Homo, Or The Fruits Of Reformism Edition

🏈 💵Thread for hellish discussion of the Dying Burger Reich and the pedophile Hitlerite-Zionist clique of the American bourgeoisie and its iron grip upon the greatest bigliest country McGod™ ever gave McMan™ on the face of the McEarth™🌭 🍔

>Things are going to continue to happen in the stupidest ways possible that no one really takes seriously, where every single person compulsively reacts with either cynical grifting or useless panic and appealing to a political system of liberal democracy that is entirely dead and irrelevant. things will continue to get gradually worse, more people will lose their jobs and homes, the most destitute and marginalized will be oppressed by state-backed domestic terrorism, but the decay will simply continue and everyone who isn't actively being imprisoned and forced into slavery or outright exterminated will simply ignore it and maintain a cognitive dissonance of believing a civil war is happening while living their lives in a mostly normal fashion. The death of the United States will be slow, painful, and insufferably annoying and stupid.

>By the spring of 2024, a newly sober Isenberg felt like she could finally stop performing all the time and just be herself, a complex human being who was still learning. She planned to spend the summer living with her parents while saving up money. In the fall, she would become the first person in her family to attend a four-year college. Then she got pregnant.

>The news brought a “sense of dread,” says Isenberg. Her first thought was strong and immediate: I’m not going to have a baby. After a friend had described having an abortion, Isenberg’s own mindset had started to shift. She’d begun to think of herself as pro-choice. It wouldn’t be the end of the world, she thought, if I had an abortion. This is something I’m allowed to do.


>It may seem strange that Isenberg would reach out to Turner in this moment. But she was feeling stressed, sick, and confused and wanted to have a backup plan just in case she didn’t go through with the abortion. She knew Turner—who’d also recently left PAAU but whose politics were growing more, not less, conservative—would try to talk her out of it, but she’d also recently seen Turner using her social media platforms to raise money for pregnant women and mothers in need. Isenberg had less than $100 in her bank account. If she changed her mind, she would be in dire need of financial help.


>“I was also thinking, This is Kristin Turner, the girl I was friends with,” remembers Isenberg. “I wasn’t thinking, She is acting as a vessel for people who are much more powerful than her.”


>Turner put Isenberg in touch with an organization that gave money to women with “crisis pregnancies.” She also asked for Isenberg’s address so she could send her a care package and promised a McDonald’s breakfast if Isenberg agreed to get her ultrasound at a crisis pregnancy center instead of the Charlotte Planned Parenthood (Isenberg declined the latter).


>Isenberg expected Turner and members of PAAU to offer her “counseling” and a lecture on the psychological impacts of abortion and how carrying out a pregnancy is a “nonviolent choice.” She assumed they’d ask their Instagram followers to “say a prayer for my friend who’s chosen the heartbreak of abortion,” as she’d once posted for others. But she believed that in the end, they’d respect he

>Socialism is a mode of production.
is it? first time hearing so

>>2568956
no, socialism is a transitionary stage headed by a dotp who aims to advance the productive forces as rapidly as possible in order to obtain the material basis for a classless society. marx also said this stage will look different in each country due to their historical circumstances and level of development. full on communism (classless, stateless, moneyless) is the next mode of production.

>>2568997
>no, socialism is a transitionary stage headed by a dotp
This is leninist revisionism. Marx never said this.

>>2569008
no, it's classical marxism.
>Between capitalist and communist society lies the period of the revolutionary transformation of the one into the other. Corresponding to this is a political transition period in which the state can be nothing but the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat.
marx always framed socialism as a transitional stage, not a final economic system. it also retains elements of the old society. and because it is transitional and contains elements of capitalism, marx does not treat it as a fully realized mode of production.

>>2569036
It was bait but Marx rarely even mentions socialism and instead talks about lower stage communism.

"turns out conservatives and reactionaries are just dumb after all" edition.

news:
- Your Party is suing itself, more at 11.
- The SNP and Plaid are going to form a "progressive alliance" somehow
- The government's going to do a switcheroo by raising income tax slightly and cutting national insurance to balance it out. (But they won't - follow this to its logical conclusion and scrap NI entirely)
- They're also considering cutting VAT on energy bills (which is the least efficient way of lowering bills you can imagine)
- The board of deputies asked Aston Villa for free footy tickets. In a worrying sign of rising antisemitism, Aston said nah.
- Labour is falling behind the Greens in the opinion polls as their strategy of copying Reform drives away their already-begrudging supporters without winning over any Reform voting reprobates. Nobody could have predicted this.

Really what's up with the TERF thing. This dude is like the most performative male feminist I've ever encountered. Even worse than Hasan Abi, but the same time he hates minorities and trans people kek.

What total faggots bongs are. Truly insufferable.

According to Virginia Giuffre, Prince Andrew forced her as a child sex slave to have sex with him on multiple occasions.
Why isn't he on trial facing life imprisonment at the least?
And according to her newly published memoirs, she was also also raped while a child sex slave by an infamous but unnamed former PM (presumed to be Blair), who during sex repeatedly choked her unconscious and left her fearing she was going to be murdered during the intercourse.
Why is there no police investigation into this? We truly live in a paedophile ran nation…

>>2568826
I'm purity testing communism by suggesting that maybe Lenin was a tad more radical than Anthony Neil Wedgwood Benn, 2nd viscount Stansgate, a guy who's chief ambition was a Labour government half as radical as the Sveriges socialdemokratiska arbetarepartiand who sat under cabinet collective responsibility as the IMF rolled neoliberalism over what was supposed to be a third rate imitation of social democracy.
and perhaps two touches more radical than "feminists" who think the greatest issue women face today is seeing a Hon in Marks and Spencer.

Well forgive me, but when I snort I want coke. Some baby powder is inevitable, but your posts give readers the kind of nasal hit previously only enjoyed by prince Andrew.

maybe liberals want them homeless and unemployed. I want to make sure they always have jobs. employment so stable they never leave. jobs that are vitally important, that will make everone thankful they have them. jobs that show nazis can contribute to a better world. jobs that make their kids proud of them.

>Bashing a few fascists […] is the very definition of performative. It is pure street theatre, a chance for small groups to feel tough and radical by acting out their pseudo-revolutionary fantasies
There are valid arguments against the black bloc anarchist adventurism, and that's none of them. It's frustrating that they could have actually written a good article and they ruin it with hyperbolic nonsense.

Well, if it makes them feel any better, some idiot is posting to reddit an article of WSWS taking a worker's death as an opportunity to union bash.

Nations and environmental groups slam proposals at UN climate talks, calling them too weak
Several nations and environmental groups on Friday slammed proposals in the final stages of this year’s U.N. climate talks for failing to explicitly mention the cause of global warming — the burning of fuels such as oil, gas and coal — with one negotiator warning the talks are on “the verge of collapse.” Juan Carlos Monterrey Gomez, a top negotiator for Panama, said the decades-long United Nations process risks “becoming a clown show” for the omission.

Nationwide strikes called in Italy, Belgium and Portugal as social anger erupts across Europe
In Belgium, a nationwide rail and mass transit strike is called for November 24, a nationwide strike of the public sector the day after, and finally a general strike on the 26th. They are called against moves by the right-wing government led by Bart De Wever’s New Flemish Alliance (NVA) to slash pensions, end indexing of wages on inflation and slash benefits including unemployment insurance.

The Co-Founder of Palestine Action Is Taking the Government to Court
If Ammori wins, the high court will rule that then-home secretary Yvette Cooper’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action was unlawful, effectively lifting the ban.

Officer acquitted in death of Ta’Kiya Young, a pregnant Black mother accused of shoplifting
The Ohio police officer who shot and killed Ta’Kiya Young, a pregnant Black mother who had been accused of shoplifting, was acquitted on all counts Friday, including murder. Blendon Township police officer Connor Grubb had faced up to life in prison if convicted. Young’s grandmother collapsed into sobs at the decision, shouting “It’s not right! This is not right!” The judge then told Grubb he was free to go.

PFLP Praises the Heroic “Gush Etzion” Operation
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine praises the heroic operation that targeted the “Gush Etzion” settlement established on occupied land south of Bethlehem, which resulted in the killing of a settler and the injury of eight others, including one serious injury, and confirms that this operation represents a natural response to the escalation of settler crimes in the occupied West Bank. This operation proves that the will of our Palestinian people is stronger than the terrorism of settlers and occupation plans, and also confirms that resistance will not remain idle in the face of crimes committed by occupation soldiers and settlers in the West Bank.

The Trouble With Fascism Analogies
Over three decades ago, the British historian Tim Mason sounded the alarm. He spoke of a “disappearance of theories or articulated concepts of fascism from research and writing.” Examining the relationship between Italian Fascism and German Nazism, Mason urged scholars to identify these regimes’ “specific” similarities and their contrasts, while maintaining “a strict agnosticism” about the radical uniqueness of either of them. At first glance, such debates may seem remote from today’s political climate, when discussion of fascism seems ever present. Yet the questions Mason raised resonate powerfully also today. As the far right advances, from Latin America to India and from the United States to Russia and across Europe, there is an urgent need to analyze this resurgence with intellectual rigor and historical depth. Beyond the initial shock at the rise of such forces lies an urgent question: How to respond? How to alert and mobilize the social forces needed to counter their agenda? Understanding the roots of this apparent “return of fascism” is anything but straightforward. And is this even the right term? The use of “fascism” to describe today’s political currents remains fiercely contested. For some, the label is crucial, offering a framework for predicting what comes next. Yet if history surely can illuminate the present, it can’t foretell the future.
