@aspensmonster @vwbusguy @celesteh I hope that one day you will live in an equivalent of soviet union (your country is well on its way). When you do, please report back on how easy or hard will it be to procure insulin! π
@aspensmonster I'm with you! But don't have to be a communist to be anti-capitalist!
You may argue that being anti-capitalist automatically makes you an intersectional communist, then sign me up, but marxism-lenibism is like... Demonstrably hateful ideology which converges to authoritarianism isomorphic to fascism.
And the problem is in the communist manifesto itself. If you don't set precise and concrete parameters for distinguishing bourgeois from proletariat and call for violence *not against the property* even, but against human beings, then your criteria degrade and the guy with the rifle becomes the proletarian and everyone without a rifle becomes a bourgeois.
@jonn You can call yourself anti-capitalist if you like. Rejecting the only forms of anti-capitalism that have ever worked as "actually that's just authoritarianism which is the same as fascism" is a choice that you are not alone in making at least. Marxists however will continue to deal with reality as it presents itself and work within it to build socialism.
@aspensmonster Preston "Citation Needed" Maness.
Btw, I was responding to your america-centric take! Actually, procuring insulin is trivial in like... Normal countries. πͺπΊ
@aspensmonster you will be surprised.

Here is what, to quote your silly toot, "the poorest countries have managed to achieve". π
@jonn you have a lot of national chauvinism for someone concerned about colonialism :(
