Every non violent success story has someone behind the non violent one ready to burn shit down that makes the non violent one the easier choice.
Cool story. Now figure out how to stop them other than 'vote'. Cause we know that's just kicking the can down the road.
We had 8 good years before that and didn't set up any protections.
I don't know what I clicked on that. It was exactly what it says.
99%? Are you sure?
That's interesting.... Communism is by definition stateless and without significant hierarchy. I don't think other Tankies would disagree with me there.
The ideological difference is in how we achieve communism. I would really suggest reading 'What is to be Done' by Lenin. It's a real short read but was one of the things that sold me on Marxism-Leninism vs. regular "Communism is a neat idea"
Capitalism will sell you the "you're your own boss, go forth an conquer" all while keeping you under their heel. There is no equality or opportunity there; but even worse is that they will worm their way into any system that does not harshly and consistently fight back against them. Ergo the need for a 'communist' (or rather pursuing communism) state.
That then leads into "Well how does the state go away once we've got communism?" That's a whole 'nother can of worms....
Sanction, Denounce, it all boils down to "The ICC can fuck itself, we do what we want; and what we want is to support the genocide of the Palestinian people."
If your argument boils down to near meaningless (there is a hassle for ICC members with the sanction) pedantry, then your argument sucks.
Ah the everlasting if you're not with us you're against us argument. Classy.
Maybe, just maybe, I don't think we should be supporting genocide; even when it's "our team" - since apparently that's the only way y'all see it.
"heedless rush" oh fuck you press secretary. Nearing 50k dead more being starved daily, but somehow it's heedless and unwarranted.
Oh yeah. We're fucked. It'd be funny if it wasn't also terrifying.
