In 1992, I was in Moscow on the way to fly to the US. My stepfather who was an ardent anti-communist took me to an American opened ice cream shop with ‘hundreds’ of flavors to show me the superiority of capitalism - not just 2 flavors of USSR. I hated the flavors but didn’t

No, I mean you have to retrace (with the utmost precision) every place she was at in the last day of her life in order to find the killer.

well, if they weren't socialist, people would write them off as MAGA or something of the sort
we need the unity of honest working people
Some people have rightly asked why
@CornelWest
is running with MPP instead of the GPUS. The principal argument being that GPUS has ballot access in 47 states while MPP only has access in 3. However, I agree with this strategy for two reasons:
@FluffyCommie94
@phortuenti
BLM as a social movement was very powerful but, due to the fact that the petty-bourgeoisie currently has a hegemony over the Black Liberation movement, it quickly degenerated into an appendage of imperial politics and the perpetuation of the status quo.
Dr. West’s strategy allows him to start running (that is to say, start fundraising) right away and puts a mounting pressure on the GPUS leadership to not put forward their own candidate.

1. The GPUS can still nominate Dr. West at their next National Convention; giving him ballot access in 47 states. I’m sure that many Greens would support this enthusiastically.

specially when the alternative is just more subsidies for oil corporations to bribe politicians with in order to start another 20-year war

@anyaparampil
The israel lobby literally had laws passed forcing Americans to sign pledges to the state of israel. American laws.
This makes question your knowledge on the matter at all.
2. Dr. West waiting for the GPUS nomination before running would have meant that his presidential campaign could only have legally started in the summer of 2024. He would also have faced a highly skeptical leadership w/ their own preferred candidate.

Who cares? People’s lives shouldn’t depend on raising pit bulls right. Should shitty dog owners walk around with a sign that says “watch out: I’m a bad dog owner”? How can we tell they were raised badly before the attack?
@agent_of_change
but hasn't the CPUSA, PSL, FRSO, WWP, etc failed miserably to build any real antiwar or socialist or even progressive movements?
how can one support a discredited strategy?
I'm as oppressed as they come and I don't support wokeness at all
MAGA is more liberal than the liberals
@afromaterialism
The Juche Idea gives the necessary nuance to this take. The people are constantly changing the material, socio-economic basis to fulfill their desire. We are not automatons in a mode of production in which ideology is mere subjective interpretations of the relations of production

Bri, you are too kind. Just a week ago you walked back the statement that krystal and Kyle want to be patted on the head by MSNBC. Why defend Daou? Is that really going to help anything?
