that doesn't make sense, the "foot in the door" approach is a plan to try to accomplish one political project somehow using a constituency built up and voting for a DIFFERENT PLATFORM. It's just a rationalization of being a fat cat forever and going nowhere, we always will have midterms and re-election to worry about so the time to use the constituency you actually have as support for doing something fundamentally different never arrives, you can't just trick people into liking socialism by doing something else entirely and calling it socialism. You need a political movement that actually is in line with what you are allegedly actually trying to accomplish if that's anything but being a middle class PMC demsucc fat cat!!!

Nobody cares what you believe in your heart. If you ain't even trying to change shit and instead just taking a PMC computer job wage then you are not a leftist in any tangible way.

There is actually a very useful problem with your latest appeal to my US example, because you have now stated your inference in its clearest form:

“Since foreign convictions per capita are lower than the US citizen, we then see the same reflected in the illegal immigrants. So, it can have universal logic.”

No. And this is precisely where the US example becomes useful.

You have just described a logical principle:

If population A has rate X, and subgroup B is contained within A, then B can be assigned rate X unless there is evidence of an anomaly.

The Texas evidence provides a direct counterexample to that principle.

The Texas data actually measured the subgroup

Now, There is actually a useful contrast here, because the United States demonstrates exactly what the kind of analysis you are asking me to accept would look like when the necessary data actually exist.

Take the peer-reviewed Texas study by Light, He and Robey, published in PNAS. The researchers were able to use Texas Department of Public Safety data that record immigration status for arrestees, allowing them to compare undocumented immigrants, legal immigrants and native-born US citizens directly over 2012–2018. (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7768760/)

And the result was not merely an aggregate “foreigners are X% of arrests” calculation.

They calculated population rates.

They found that undocumented immigrants had the lowest felony arrest rates of the three groups. Native-born citizens were more than twice as likely as undocumented immigrants to be arrested for violent felonies, 2.5 times as likely for drug felonies, and more than four times as likely for property felonies. Most importantly for our discussion, when they broke violent crime down further, undocumented immigrants were roughly half as likely as native-born citizens to be arrested for sexual assault. (https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2014704117)

That is the kind of evidence that can actually answer the question.

It gives you:

>since Soviet weapons, ethnonationalism, and nationalization of the economy only led to successive defeats
Strange how that was when they were the closest to winning. Now they have no chance. The soviets were pussies who didn't want to fight zios and the muricans.

>when they gun down third world communists!
Because third world communists are agents of imperialism. They almost always operate in countries in confrontation with the west that allow them to exist. They always help imperialism. Where are these communists in USA waging protracted people's war against the retarded labor aristocrats and pmcs? I will only support third world communists once they organize mongol raiding parties and start enslaving rich fags of montana and long island.

the ultimate problem is that you have a loser mindset. the online right wing has come to celebrate decadence and anti-social behaviour because it now just appeals to weak failed males ("chuds") who are addicted to their screens. imagine if there was a biotechnology program as large as america's military industrial complex given the shocking progress we have already been making? naturally such a thing shall be built when we conquer the continent

PMC status?

>>2900906
I think PMCs who like to think they are as progressive as anyone get very threatened by the PSL and they struggle to process why. Everyone knows on some level that the if the DSA gets national power anytime soon they will almost certainly compromise on imperialism to some degree. To take on imperialism means to take the US economy and start over from scratch, and significant factions in the org will quail at that. So therefore, the PMC consumption lifestyle is not threatened by the DSA right now. If anything, the DSA will improve it and make things better for the poor so there's less guilt for PMCs.

As long as the DSA is the only practical option PMCs don't have to confront this for what it is. If a group like the PSL that centers anti-imperialism gets prominence it's now a choice being made on what "supporting socialism" means and the unconscious gets forced into the conscious and it enrages PMCs. They feel the contrast between how they see themselves and how their politics is limited by a reactionary hierarchical class position based on exploitation. They can't just feel like they did all they could and rationalize how it turned out unless the DSA exists in a vacuum of any other major socialist tendencies. So the PSL will get attacked by more conservative socialists because they want the definition of socialism to be an essentially middle class project, and they will find any way they can to stigmatize it and they are doing that in a typical PMC "progressive" way with bodies and spaces language.

>my initial assumption is obviously common sense
The neoliberal conception of freedom is being a baby brained consumer who makes their preferred choices in the free market of ideas.
>reality itself is shunned as political bias
That's the legacy of every "mature", "reasonable", "adult in the room" leftist austerity scold from Carter to Clinton to Obama and Biden/Kamala.
The reality is that the DSA left does nothing but victim blame the working class for responding dysfunctionally to their PMC anti-Stalinist anarcho-Bidenist ideology. Jacobin literally wrote an article crying about how an AI moratorium is "dangerous" and "conspiratorial" and "won't let us fight China". Very rational, ma'am!

and guess what Canada has all those things through decades of military alliance with the US. it's not like the Canadian military is some 3rd world warlord PMC. they have drones. they have a navy. they have aircraft. they have pretty much the same capability as Ukraine when it comes to repelling a much stronger military force, and I predict the situation would be even worse for the Americans because Ukraine is much easier to wage war in.

of course, as I said it would be trivially easy to take Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, etc and effectively overthrow the Canadian government within 24 hours. it would just be nearly impossible to project force outside the border provinces.

people think the US military is able to take over any place on earth by just bombing it, but they were only able to take over Venezuela because the Venezuelan government threw Maduro to the wolves. a real conflict between Canada and the US would basically just be Canada's military bombing American cities to dust while retreating into the wilderness as the US struggles to occupy Toronto and pretends they "won" because they drone striked the PM.

the meat industry is literally a cancer on the climate and on the human population that makes all food more expensive by taking land that could be used to farm native crops with sustainable permaculture and instead using it to graze cattle with non-native grass species. 1 kilogram of beef requires way more land, energy, and water to produce than 1 kilogram of vegetable matter

>but but beef has more protein

all americans, including vegans, get more than enough protein, source:

80 year curse, all the secular educated PMC jews have already left and the Haredim cannot run the country or want to serve in the military

>crying over dead PMC
I hate this board.

The IDF cannot take much more bleeding and most of their labor aristocrats and PMCs and technocrats have already left the country. They’re running out of secular jews interested in modernity fast, Haredis can’t run the country, they can’t even read

Anyways, half of this question should be answered with a history book in hand, but I dont have that data. But regardless, iirc there are many academic studies that show cooperatives can be more competitive than regular firms. In principle it makes sense, since a pyramidal system with some random dude at the top and different layers of PMC at the bottom seems less rational than an actual board of administrators that can check and balance each other and which are subject to change in case of failure.

<"there have been zero great power wars"
Liberal treatlerites believe its a good thing that countless millions of non-white people were murdered during the Cold War. They love Jakarta Method neoliberal Baal rituals of human sacrifice to capital, that allow them to buy Funko Pops. Liberals see it as Historical Progress™ to have achieved their globalist utopia of fossil fuel imperialism (or AOC's New Green Deal imperialism that also does coups in Bolivia etc). When the nepo failson Hunter Biden is placed in a corporate board room for a Ukraine resource extraction company, liberals believe that's a GOOD THING!
Neoliberalism has universalized the condition of being a decadent petite-Epstein labor aristocrat like in Candide: "This is the best of all possible worlds!" - twitter bluechecks
>obsessed with Ukraine
the liberal theory of history is all pro-democracy slop, no materialism at all. "More democratic states means more freedom", that's their entire political philosophy. We saw this brainrot with the zoomer Nepal protests or whatever Soros is doing in Indonesia right now.
Its like this PMC Trot Gilbert Achcar who wrote five years ago that 'neo-campists are fools to not help Zionists fight Russia in Syria'. The left's entire identity is founded on being epic progressive heroes who are bravely fighting "authoritarianism":

Mostly people take the Marxist analysis of ideology a little bit too literally. Obviously porkies and glowies know that liberal ideas about democracy and the rules based international order are bullshit. These people of course knowingly use this as a smokescreen to conceal their real interests wrt Western imperialism, NATO expansion, etc. But people here like to project that awareness onto every NAFO redditor, PMC with a Ukraine flag in their Bluesky, or random normie that supports the war effort. The fact is that the majority of people simply believe these things sincerely, and the majority of those don't do so because of any deep knowledge of or commitment to liberalism or Western unipolarity, but because big countries invading small ones is generally seen as bad for obvious reasons. It's why so many people are sympathetic to both Ukraine and Palestine/Iran.

every American settler socialist movement over the last 15 years: "Google Bookchin, we must SMASH THE AUTHORITARIAN STATE for its racist regulations of consumer freedom for individuals"
People after googling Bookchin: "so wait, anarchists have 'no quarrel' with neoliberals who support selling children in the free market?"

lol PMC socialist literally dream of having woke versions of Jeffrey Epstein pagan temple islands, where sex workers are "liberated" from Stalinist oppression to cross borders to be servants of the class of redditors. Really makes you think about what Ukraine's "revolution of dignity" in 2014 was really about!
