The entire West is becoming fascist. It's horrifying but not surprising. We've all been living under a fake veil of "democracy." Fascism was never far away, and they're in the process of dropping all pretense.
I follow back all comrades. I find it strange how some leftists don't bother following people back. Do you really think you're that important? Do you not care what your comrades have to say?
If you're a leftie, a comrade, and you've somehow established a following.
Why wouldn't you follow back fellow lefties when they follow you?
I don't get it. I interpret as narcissism. Am I wrong?
Capitalism is fascism.
Capitalism doesn't require democracy. When it is "democratic," it's necessarily fake.
Exploitation is ultimately based on violence. Capitalism is a particular historical form of exploitation.
Fascism is the naked form of capitalist violence.
How is it possible that most people are good -- because, yo, they are -- but some tiny minority of psychopaths are running the show?
I don't get it.
We gotta do something about that.
The human animal has spent the vast majority of its existence, approximately 200K, with no government, no money, and no state.
Does that means we're anarchists/communists by nature?
🤔🤔🤔
If your leaders fund, arm and train Nazis, if they invite Nazis into parliament to honour them and give them standing ovations, how far away are they from, you know, actually being Nazis?
Omigod. We live in absolute hell. The entire Western world is engaged in montrous genocide.
We must either cower and pretend it's not happening. Or stand up against it and do something.
What's your choice?
Every cop you see on the street is proof that you already live under fascism. That motherfucker gonna break your ribs and mace you and haul you off into a cage. You think that's not fascism?
Who are these people? Why is it okay that I have to share my space with them?
"Unproven claims by the Russian government are laughable absurdities presented without evidence; unproven claims by the US government are just The News."
The US And Ukraine Have Every Reason To Lie About The War
"We could soon see a chemical weapons incident occur in Ukraine, after which Silicon Valley platforms ban all accounts who express skepticism of the official western narrative about what happened."
One thing I love about both communists and anarchists is that both are absolutely opposed to capitalism and recognize it as the enemy. Not only that, both are intent on destroying it ASAP.
What's not to like?
I hate it when I respond to a comrade and then I immediately see there's a "like." Great! A comrade has interacted with me. But when I check, it's not a comrade, but some fake sex account. That sucks.
General strike. Workers stop working.
After that, pigs come, try to make us work.
There's not enought pigs. We overwhelm them.
Then we seize the means of production.
Is that too naive?
Serious question, comrades: Why must capitalism be preserved after the revolution?
Why can't the means of production be immediately seized, and capitalism thereby eliminated?
I don't get it.
You're watching fierce resistance to police repression this week as Greek students hit the streets of
#Athens
protesting university privatisation. Cops are the violent attack dogs of capital. There's no place for them in a free society.
#antireport
#ACAB
How the hell did everything turn out this bad?
Omg. It's the worst thing you can imagine, and that's our reality. That's what we're living in.
Capitalism is at the root of our misery. We must overthrow it.
Cop tells person filming that they're blocking the sidewalk.
Actually, pig, you're blocking the sidewalk by harassing - instead of, say, helping - a homeless person.
#YYC
Calgary Police harass and arrest an unhoused community member on Sunday, December 10th, while questioning their winter scarf (not a keffiyeh) and if they're involved in any of the protests for Palestine.
"Remember, good citizen: we must oppose Russian propaganda at all costs to protect our western values of free expression, free thought, free press, and free democracy. So do not question any part of the official Ukraine narrative. Or else."
The Official Narrative On Ukraine
"The official narrative is that while Russia is in Ukraine solely because its leader is an evil monster like Hitler, the US is in Ukraine solely because its leaders are righteous."
"Wars end in one of two ways: with diplomacy and negotiation, or with mountains of corpses. If you're opposed to any kind of negotiation with Moscow to bring about peace, then you want the latter. And if you do, you should get your bitch ass on a plane and join the front lines."
Big Brave Keyboard Warriors
Condemning Putin is the easiest, safest, most redundant, least courageous thing that anyone in the western world can do right now. It's currently way harder to criticize the role western powers have played in starting this war.
Communism is all about human freedom. That's what makes it so beautiful.
That's why no real communist would ever hate someone for their gender identity.
Anarchists hate the capitalist state. Communists hate the capitalist state.
When you think about it, that's some pretty solid ground to start from and some pretty good reasons to work together.
How much time do we have to fuck around?
Human beings aren't intrinsically evil.
Look around at your friends and family and you know that.
But omg are we capable of inspeakable evil, under particular circumstances.
So let's work to create the circumstances that don't inspire evil.
Thanks.
We are actually at war against the ruling/capitalist class.
Capitalism is destroying everything.
We have no choice but to destroy the pathological system that is destroying all of us.
There's no way we're going to take (back) control of our world without overthrowing the rulings class.
That will involve the use of force
What will we do once we have power?
Look at yourself, your friends, your parents, your neighbours.
Are they murderous and evil?
No?
Okay, so the problem isn't human nature then.
Must be something else.
So what is it?
Capitalism is not "natural."
There's nothing about human nature that makes it necessary or inevitable.
That's a dirty lie told by those who benefit from expoiting you.
Everybody knows that politicians lie all the time.
But why are they allowed to? Why is that somehow okay? Why aren't there legal consequences?
You can't have a functioning democracy when politicians lie with impunity.

Are there some circumstances in which killing children is acceptable - as long as you have "confidence" in the government that's telling you to?
Twisted.

It's too bad we live in a fascist, murderous hell where children get blown up by bombs ever day.
Good thing we don't have to.
Because we're going to tear this shit down, take control of things, and build the sane, healthy society we deserve.
We absolutely do not have to be living in this horrific shitshow.
Humans are ~200K years old. And our existence wasn't always a murderous nightmare.
We have to eliminate the circumstances that are creating this hell.
We have to eliminate capitalism.
