They attempted to bargain their way into full integration with the western financial system after 9/11, but the US wanted nothing to do with that. Which is what put them in their position as a counter imperialist state. To my understanding anyway.

Voyager has been good. They just implemented a custom emoji fix to that ensures emoji are the correct size regardless of their uploaded size.

I’ve had the same representatives for 37 years. Tell me, when does the democracy start?

Joe “I’m a Zionist” Biden lives for it too. He’s the crypto facist.

They’re both fascists dippy.

Probably worth sharing the top comment from the lemmygrad thread:

The article was written by John Bechtel, who was chair of the CPUSA up until 2019.

This is their official take on the Oct 7 attack.

Something a union could solve…

Holy shit don’t sleep on Teen Vogue.

I knew something was fucky.

Reminds me of this sign I saw at the Ren Faire.

I need to watch DS9 again…

I’m now seeing all the articles I read posting that retraction. What wild times we live in.

Email has been around for what, 50 years? I guess that makes me a brand new concept too.

Home Owners Authority, CW was a TV channel.

It’s not going to be a centralized platform though…

They were naturally. Opium is historically a tool of colonial oppressers. Asian opium dens were only a thing after the British Empire brought it to their communities. Gary Web famously shot himself in the head twice after exposing the CIA as the one offloading crack into the streets of the San Francisco Bay Area kick-starting the crack epidemic. Drugs like crack, opium, and other highly addictive drugs help maintain control and division among the exploited population. Pain killers and fentanyl are the new Crack Cocaine of our time. Even if they were not making a direct profit off the opium trade at the time, it did them no good to stop it. It only supported their efforts of looting and plundering.

Lol they’ll keep literal Nazi subs up but will ban communist subs. “could be considered left leaning” pffffft.

I doubt he’s an American.

Even in the United States after the revolution they implemented authoritarian measures to ensure the security of their revolution. They sized the land of Loyalists and effectively drove them out if the country. They killed Loyalists, who were their fellow colonists, for their opposition to the revolution. They attempted tirelessly for peaceful transition to independence but the Monarchy refused them and ignored them until they were left with no choice but to begin violent armed revolution. All revolutions are authoritarian in their nature. The American revolutionaries were seizing their power by force and imposing their self actualized authority over the colonies in pursuit of their own economic and social freedoms.

The United States is authoritarian and many of the same ways that socialist states are authoritarian. If you don’t believe me, look at the history of the socialist movement in America. Look at what the state was and still is willing to do to its own citizens for criticizing and organizing against the capitalist and imperialist system that the state runs on.

Are you here to tell me that McCarthyism and the red scare were democratic in their execution? That they were in line with the Free Speech and Free Expression ethos the United States projects? They were not times of political democratic freedom. Even in recent times you have leaders of movements critical of the state being killed for their political positions. Students killed during the anti-war movement in the 60s and 70s. Anti-War activists driven out of their employment and careers over their opposition to the state and it’s actions in Vietnam.

So what do you call authoritarianism under capitalism then? Democracy??
