Look how the Israelis mock and seek to destroy everything. This is like nominating Pol Pot, or Idi Amin for the Nobel Peace Prize. Or giving the Presidential Medal of Honor to a filthy zionist criminal bitch because she gave you $100 million dollars. With Israel everything Western Civilization honors or celebrates is denigrated, everything dragged through a charnel house of rotting bodies and zionist filth. They despise Western civilization. They despise us. Wake up! Wake up!
It is overwhelming, the dumbness, the evil, the people who make fools of themselves defending this horror. We are lost, and the majority of our population is 100% politically illiterate. This is frightening and it's an omen of some very dark times ahead. I wish I could say otherwise, but as I recently commented, the Dems will double down on fascism before they take one step to the left. They are owned by the rich. They've proven that by sandbagging Bernie (feckless coward) twice. Socialism, or anything resembling economic democracy will be scuttled for strong men like Trump, always, because they fear socialism way more than fascism. This is also evident in the normalizing of freaks like Weiss. Liberal institutions nominating war criminals and racists? Why not, given their track record over the last few decades? The Nobel Institute was always a joke, but now it's dangerous.
I agree. Socialism or barbarism, as Rosa's famous axiom goes. But long-term we need to decentralize concentrations of institutional power and create smaller, inter-connected communities. The state has turned out to be every bit as monstrous as Bakunin and Kropotkin warned us: "What does it matter if the boot on your neck is marked "socialism?" Yale did a good study on this and it showed that unchecked centers of concentrated power tend toward tyranny, regardless of the economic theory that the nation subscribes to. This was a big problem, the main problem (along with sabotage and imperial war instigated by the capitalist West) for large nation-state revolutions in the 20th century. Allende was successful, but as I said, we sabotaged that.
We have to consider all of this when we hand a radical vanguard class all the power in the world and say: "Your job is to get rid of the state entirely and make yourselves obsolete." Well, there are issues. Which is why after years of reading Marx and Gramsci I can no longer identify solely as a Marxist. I still believe Marxism is the most powerful epistemological tool I have in my arsenal, and I do think Western-style social democracy, in places such as Denmark, is an achievable goal for us here in America. But Capital has proven more dynamic than Marx, Lenin, and every other socialist theorist gave it credit for. It is a sprawling, morphing, beast and it's very adaptable. The state is not able to play the role of regulator because capital is impossible to restrain.

No need to apologize. Understood.
We are not going to make it without Socialism.

Sorry for the rant. Bad times...
We live in an insane clown world.
Yes, and more's the pity.
