i wouldn't be trying to will socialism into existence, though, i'd just be having a little fun :3

i believe all states are evil, to be honest!
some are just actively persuing evil stuff more than others
but given half a chance, capitalists in any country would turn to fascism
ah don't worry about that, lots of it is online now :3
thank you for the explanation, it was really interesting and in-depth! you should be a teacher!
i would completely dismantle the economy, the police force, the military, prisons, and the government. i would cease the recognition of all countries and borders.
but yes you're right, i'm willing to use violence to make the world a better place, because i believe that i'm right, and i'm not scared of sacrificing all that i have and all that i am to achieve that.
i wouldn't be able to peacefully retire, of course, i would need to be brought to justice for my crimes, but i would gladly accept the punishment, because it's the right thing to do, and i know i would reduce the suffering of billions.
oh wow, i didn't realize that, i thought it was infinitely reusable just by melting and re-forming it. thank you really much for the explanation.
what you wrote reminded me of silly putty, it's really stretchy and elastic to start with, but if you play with it for a while, it starts to be less elastic and breaks apart.
does metal also break down? i'm thinking about like aluminium cans that are used for soda and stuff like that
i still think you're assuming what my actual, real-life views are from a silly what-if scenario! i am never gonna be in control of anything more powerful than a barbeque.
but if somehow i got to mind control the president or something, yes, i'd take advantage of that brief control to eliminate as many capitalists as possible
i'm not going to get into a debate about it, because i have better things to do, sorry.
i would agree that the USSR was socialist, but very quickly stopped being so, and now it is capitalist. that's not what i call a success.
permenent? can't plastic get melted down and recycled again?
once i put some plastic container in the dishwasher and it got too hot, it kind of melted a bit. it didn't totally melt but the lid doesn't fit anymore.
i dunno if it was injection molded though
any marxist who thinks that the USSR or China is an example of a successful revolution is either ignorant, delusional, or worst of all, a tankie.
they had some early successes but were immediately co-opted. motherfuckers need to learn about permenent revolution.
now neither country is socialist, both are imperialist and well on their way towards fascism
do you wanna stop fascism? want to see trump and elon musk lose power?
working class solidarity is the first step
our entire lives, we've been tricked and manipulated into fighting among ourselves, because they know if we worked together, we would be able to take them down.
why do you think, every time that something bad happens, there's all the media spin about who we should blame?
they love to do this for age, think about all the boomers vs. gen X vs. gen Z articles and social media posts you've seen
but they do the same shit all the time with different things. their aim is to split the working class into as many splinter groups as possible.
we need to stop letting the assholes in power divide us like this.
unfortunately, that means extending solidarity to people who haven't earned it, including people who chose to vote for Trump.
most of these people were tricked and manipulated. many of them have been fed a steady diet of misinformation. many of them are proud, insufferable bigots.
but being smugly superior, insulting, rude or intolerant isn't how we change people's minds. the best way to do that is by having a two-way conversation.
we are all so busy yelling at eachother. it doesn't work. we need solidarity.
