“Officially” maybe not, but Goldman was denaturalized like a decade after she should’ve been because the government wanted a reason to deport her and they couldn’t while she was a US citizen. So they made her denaturalization retroactive. Steimer was denaturalized and deported for the “crime” of printing and distributing anti-war leaflets.

Emma Goldman and Mollie Steimer are on this list. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_denaturalized_former_citizens_of_the_United_States

A finger curls on the monkey’s paw.

Thanks!

That’s not the point I was contesting. I agree with that. I just don’t agree with minimizing what Biden has done and acting like he’s just passively complicit in all this while making the point that Trump is terrible. They’re both awful and Biden has done way worse than “nothing”.

You can think that all you’d like but it’s wrong. You’re literally saying that because others have done a thing, someone else doing the thing is actually doing nothing. Literal nonsense. Trump is and will be worse, but it’s absolute worse cope to simp for a president like Biden who actively contributed to what’s happening there. It would make for a way more productive discussion if you and everyone else would concede that instead of doubling down on this imaginary idea that Biden did nothing.

McCarthyism never ended lol

Biden actively pushed for and got more weapons sent to Israel that enabled all this. If “just didn’t do shit” is actually doing lots of shit that was bad, then sure he “just didn’t do shit”.

You’re probably telling them something they’re already viscerally aware of.

no you

Thanks for elaborating.

Why do you think the ACP is right wing and reject Marxism? Literally they mention being Marxist-Leninist multiple times on the website you link. Nothing I’ve ever heard them espouse has been right wing, but I’d love if you could point me to some analysis that explains how you arrived at that conclusion.

Where’s your evidence for what you’re accusing her of doing exactly?

Edit: And just to be clear, you’re the one making the claim that she is somehow scheming with Putin. The onus is on you to prove that, not on Stein or anyone else to disprove that. Otherwise, anyone could accuse anyone else of anything and then the accused would have to disprove that. Literally makes no sense.

Having your photograph taken at the same table as someone else is damning evidence of an election conspiracy, apparently. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/06/jill-stein-says-nothing-happened-at-her-dinner-with-putin/

This doesn’t look like the same person as Crooks. I saw a video of someone that looks similar to the dude in this picture make a troll video after the fact saying HE was the shooter and he’s “still out there”. It very much seems like either this same person made an IG account immediately after to mess with people or someone else saw that video and chose to make this account to mess with people. Either way, I don’t think this is the same person as the shooter.

You can look up the receipt on the FEC and the address is listed as 2506 Milford Drive, which is the same address as his voter registration and what’s being reported on the news. I keep seeing this “there is another Thomas Crooks” narrative online and wanted to confirm myself.

Criticizing Biden right now is not “working to get Trump”. Biden could easily step down and get behind an alternative candidate. These things aren’t black and white when we’re still like 4-5 months out from the election.

Step 1 would be organizing and unionizing our workplaces (with a focus on strategic industries like food production, railways, construction… the stuff that really makes the gears turn). The next step would be aligning the collective bargaining contracts negotiated by those unions to expire at the same time. Solidarity strikes were made illegal in the US, so unions are only ‘allowed’ to strike against employers who employ their union members. The collective bargaining contract expiration dates would need to be far enough in the future to allow the union to build up a nice little strike fund, enough to pay each member a stipend to survive off of for a month or two. Then the unions and their members need to negotiate with each other and vote to decide on general strike demands to change the current system (my preference would be on revolutionary unionism to end capitalism and put industry in the hands of workers democratically, but you could also do things like change FPTP voting to something else, or really any demand you want to propose that you think could make our country better for us). Then when the contracts expire, the general strike begins. Unions issue their demands on behalf of the workers and the gears turn from there. The only real way to create fundamental change to the system is to use collective organizing and collective action. What I’ve said above is just one way to go about it and I think it’s a pretty democratic way to do it, but there are definitely others (communist vanguard party, democratic socialism via electoral politics, etc.). The UAW is actually advocating for the general strike method and have set a date of May 1st, 2028 (international labor day) for other unions to align their contracts accordingly.

Why are you even asking this? Please tell me where I said that a business owner does not deserve compensation for their labor. If they’re working, they deserve compensation. However, for them to have profits (i.e. more money taken in than all of their expenses, costs, and taxes combined), that means they are by definition not paying their workers the full value of whatever the workers created with their time and labor. Wages are a cost for an owner/capitalist. If they paid workers the full amount of the value they generate with their labor, that’s less money that the owner gets to take home, even though they weren’t the ones who created that wealth. If they worked and paid themselves the same as the workers or split the profits with the workers, and made decisions about all of the expenses/management of the business democratically, it wouldn’t be exploitation. When I say exploitation, I don’t mean they are creating awful working conditions or being abusive or something extreme; I’m literally just talking about workers not receiving the full value generated by their labor.
