THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

Do you think the shareholders are active in problem solving? Workers include basically everyone but the shareholders. The tech guys, the executives, the managers.

Literally sharing nazi propaganda from Hearst press lol

Anyway, capitalism is known for never having famines or economic crises, especially not cyclical ones

The Prolitariat cant flourish if the party in power are actively genociding trans folks and minorities.

Democrats are also actively genociding minorities, the concentration camps and wars are bipartisan.

I've said nothing in my previous comments about voting. For me I do not see it as significant enough of a political act to bother discussing.

Why do you think an end to US world domination is a world domination plan?

Read "this nonviolent stuff will get you killed"

Look up how the left won in Vietnam, and beat the nazis

Do you honestly want Republicans to pass gun control? What do you think a republican gun control bill would look like?

Do you think Republicans are capable of addressing mass shootings? They are literally caused by things that benefit Republicans and democrats

Mfw the liberals who acknowledge that the Republicans are fascists want only the fascists to have guns (if you think gun control will be enforced by fascist cops to disarm their fascist buddies you've got another thing coming)

Mfw liberals don't acknowledge that mass shootings are caused by white supremacy, misogyny, and abuse culture in addition to guns because they don't want to or are incapable of addressing white supremacy, misogyny, and abuse culture, but they are capable of pushing gun control (that doesn't prevent mass shootings (see my first point) but does further criminalize poc, poor people, queer people, and women owning guns)

Mfw liberals have never heard of the mulford act and understood its political implications

Mfw liberals haven't read any anti-colonial history or civil rights history, even basic stuff like "this nonviolent stuff will get you killed" which shows how an armed movement has been necessary for both violent and nonviolent liberatory movements

The best cure to liberalism is picking up a book on the history of liberation movements that isnt full of whitewashed US history class bullshit.

You do realize that he has generally been moderate compared to other options, right? Like, there has been a big opposition push to commit more resources to the war in Ukraine.

They absolutely did, their inability to coordinate and make compromises during wartime absolutely led to their failures as revolutions.
