I thinks it's more a flavor, than a genre.

You can get "goblincore" vibes that span genres. ICP would likely be "goblincore" but so would a lot of Billie Eilish, and some Lupe Fiasco.

Think grungy, anti-establishment type of vibes, regardless of genre. And yes, anti-establishment is subjective, in this case.

Oligarchs.

The bottom line is that the elites don't "hate" their armed enforcers.... they hire them as disposable.

Cops think they are heroes for being the armed thugs for the elites.

It's like asking if a mob boss hates their hitmen or their other goons. No, they don't, but they know they are disposable and loyal.

The elites don't hate cops. They are the employers of the cops.

. Does anyone care about this man's family whom I'm sure loved him?

The care claims AI system decided that care about the family of a mass murder did not meet policy requirements.

He should have been more proactive at maintaining his health, and as such, the family's claim for anyone to care has been denied.

Mastodon has been usable, and simple, as well.

I signed up for my tildeverse account once they spun up an instance, and I followed people I saw posting. And now, I've collected a fair number of followers and people I follow to see what they say.

Works quite well.

So, what isn't usable or simple?

Define "better", first.

I've been using Mastodon for about 5 years now, and what I've seen of bsky, is that it's not better: It's centralized, owned by cryptobros, and subject to the exact same problems as twitter is for user safety.

I have yet to break anything doing release upgrades on Debian since... 7? Or 6?

Might be news to you, but the US's "definition" of communism is about as relevent as the US's definition of "leftism"...

So, yes, the definition of what "communism"... It's best to go to the source of the word, and what the talked about it meaning, rather than Joe McCarthy.

Not universal, and something like 36% believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases.

But all of them voted to ban abortion, so they can sod off with "Well, it's not what I believe"...

Something like 15% believe immigration should increase, and 37% believe it should stay the same. Believing immigration should decrease is a minority opinion among Republicans.

And yet, they voted to eliminate all non-white immigration. So, again, they can sod off.

Not sure what you mean by that, Democrats also want to control health care, that’s why the ACA exists (they want everyone enrolled in health insurance, which gives the government more control over health care).

The ACA regulated health insurance, not health care. Reich Wingers want health care choices controlled, while de-regulating corporations.

If you can be more precise, I can look up some statistics.

Look up the percentage that voted for Trump, and that's your percentage of people who are Reich Wingers and want to have the state tell humans what health care they can get like:

• Hormone therapy
• Mental healthy care
• Reproductive health care

About 41% of Republicans believe religious Republicans have too much control over the GOP, and about 27% of Republicans are unaffiliated with any particular religion, 13% are atheist, and 34% say “nothing in particular” (I guess that means areligious).

What percentage of them voted for Trump?

Because that percentage voted for a Christofascist system of government.

Trumpism is isolationist, which is the opposite of wanting to interfere w/ other countries. There are a lot of anti-Trump Republicans (in 2019, though they’re probably not going to be as vocal this term.

Trump is an isolationist. Unless it's:

• Israel
• Russia
• North Korea
• Anywhere in the middle east with brown people living there
• A place that has oil, or real estate he can profit from

So if you’re looking for anti-interference Republicans, look no further than Trump. There are also plenty of anti-interventionist Republicans in the anti-Trump crowd as well.

Sure... "Anti-interference", unless it's a friend of his like Putin, or Assad, etc etc.

So yeah, there’s a bunch of stats for you. I’m also guessing we’ll see those numbers go up quite a bit after Trump’s term is up, because a lot of those answers are likely colored by recent rhetoric.

Those stats are meaningless. The only stat that matters is who they voted for.

I could list specific politicians if that’s what you’re looking for, but I find that much less interesting than statistics.

Sure, find me a Reich Winger who isn't what I described. I'm sure they will be a lot like "Trump is really anti-interference!"

Secondly, you make no explanations for how Marxism-Leninism “drops the scientific aspect” of Marxism.

Ok, so show us a Marxist-Leninist society, that hasn't turned into back into an oligarchy.

I'll wait.

That is wholly incorrect.

Neozapatismo is also type Marxism, and is not Marxist-Leninist. They are a non-white manner of organizing a communist society. (They will claim they are "None of the above", rightfully so, however, analysis will show it's a Marxist-based ideology and system, with some Anarchist ideology too).

Leninism is in fact, a departure from Marxism, as it fully drops the "scientific" part of the entire ideology. In fact, Leninism, arguably, isn't even socialist, since it merely gives us new oligarchs in lieu of the old oligarchs.

It could have been an experiment in Marxism, and I'd say it was an experiment in Marxism. However, it is certainly a failed experiment. The Neozapatistas have persisted for 30 years now, for example, and are so far doing much better than the Soviet Union did as a liberatory movement. Same with Maoism, which started off good, but made the same mistakes the Soviets did, and now we just have another capitalist state.
