Dogwhistles? Lol I'm straight up using explicitly communist language to communicate communist ideas. And the only time I insulted you was the previous comment. Unless you think being haut bourgeoisie would be a good thing?
Ah, yeah, I used to be a social democrat too, but I did a lot of reading and I came to the conclusion that social democracy isn't really politically sustainable without the threat of communism, and it really isn't economically stable in the same way capitalism isn't as laid out in Capital (which is a good read btw, very dense but worth reading for the economic analysis)
Yeah anything gets you labeled a commie nowadays, McCarthyism is alive and well.
It was meant to be snarky as in laughing with you not at you.
I've literally cited evidence before you left this comment lmao.
20 percent of children in the US are food insecure and we have the largest prison industrial complex on the planet. If I had a shittier job and broke my leg I would end up homeless. My cousin who can't hold down a job due to a chronic illness would die on the streets if she didn't have family support. But yeah the system works.
The quality content I've come to expect from lemmy.world users.
You also have less influence on the world around you than your farts. You have crumbs and you think you're in charge because the people below you are worse off. You're not going to have control until you organize together with the people on your side of the class conflict.
The US never has benevolent intentions when it comes to war.
Yes, the goal posts of definitions created by a guy who has been dead for more than 100 years. Clarifying a misunderstanding on a basic concept of Marxist analysis of capitalism written more than 100 years ago is moving the goalposts.
Also, can you live entirely off your passive income? If not, youre not even petite bourgeoisie.
Owning a truck for personal transportation is literally personal property, not private property. Can you give me a quick definition according to Marxists of personal and private property?
Because you speak as if you're qualified to define leftist:
That is capitalist realism for you.
