You libs are deeply unserious. How the fuck can Kamala be reasoned with? The same Copmala that said the US army needs to be the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world.

Also, THE DEMOCRATS FUNDED THE GENOCIDE.

Hitler 1 and Hitler 2 cannot be reasoned with.

What no theory does to a mf.

But seriously, you got it wrong. We would all prefer if things go nonviolent, but that is not possible.

Not only that but the post is just a joke, adventurism is not something that's incentivized in leftist groups/movements afaik.

And your rethoric about "anyone that have more than I do" is completely wrong. The problem is not someone earning more than other people, but the bourgeoisie, the ultra rich, the ones that lobby for their interests, that buy and sponsor politicians. Anyone else is much closer to the poor than they are to the rich.

Also this has nothing to do with jealously. You should read some Marx to at least understand what you're trying to criticize and oppose. Or at least watch some Marxist creators like Second Thought, Yugopnik and Hakim.

You really love your "them tankies" huh. Maybe you should start engaging with reality instead of this bullshit anticommunism you always do.

I remember seeing tankie being used only a couple of times when I was a lib, then eventually as I was leaning ever more left, I joined r/196 and that's when I started seeing it being used a lot more and started understanding what it meant. By that time I didn't even know much about socialism, let alone communism, so I just thought that the folks there were probably right in "attacking the tankies" since they probably knew much more than I did.

Well, was I wrong, lol. Good thing there's a lot of good ML content on youtube, otherwise I probably would still be a lib by now.

I love the show despite the gripes. But it is also just a show.

Yeah that's completely fine, but what people consume, specially pop culture since it is so popular and specially as a kid, help mold what they think. You're not wrong that it is just a kid's show, but I think it's great to have people do marxist analysis of this type of stuff, we need to dispute these spaces that are already occupied by neolibs and fascists, who critiques shows all the time already. But you're right, there should be more effort into critiquing from our side on shit that is much more problematic and actually fascistic.

I get what you're saying and while Aang wouldn't kill Ozai out of principle, which does make a little bit of sense since he is the literal last of the Air nomads and want to continue to live in their way, the show made it pretty clear that killing Ozai was the absolute right thing to do. Every single other Avatar Aang talked to literally said to him that he should kill Ozai, even the other Air nomad Avatar that came before him said that. And while Aang didn't do it, the option of killing was never showed as wrong in this particular case.

It's a show produced in the imperial core, and the liberalism comes with the package, but I do believe there's a lot of good stuff in there too.

Am I tripping or is this AI made? I like the overall ideia of the image tho.

Also does anyone know of a repository to human made communist artwork? I tried searching for it before but didn't find anything. Most communist art I've seen has been on youtube videos. Would love to use some as wallpapers.

Quite a few people here on the comments are siding with the antinatalist narrative, but I don't think this is rational at all, in fact it's dangerous. Sure, you can individually opt to not bring more people into the world because you believe it would bring more suffering than happiness, but if this rhetoric spreads, the logical conclusion (heavily extrapolating without considering anything else) is the end of humanity which solves nothing, and while it prevents suffering, it also prevents happiness. If done and advocated in the pretext that we are ruining the planet, that certain people shouldn't be born, and other similar reasoning then this just reeks of ecofascism or plain fascism, and eugenics.

It's easy for us to buy into the narrative that we are all inherently bad and that we as humans are destroying the environment and the world, but this is not true, it's not me and you who are doing this, this is not a human trait, it's a consequence of the system we live in that incentivizes profit above all else. Why do you think awareness, support and accommodations for us needs to be fought over? Because it's expensive and doesn't guarantee profit, and the same can be said about the environment and the way corporations are literally burning the planet. Profit and accumulation of capital above all else, that is the rule.

There's only one way out of this nightmare that will give us the tools to revert the damage and actually build a society and world that will accept us, accommodate to us, liberate people and save the planet, and it's through organizing, studying and fighting.

Peaceful to who? It's not peaceful for countries at war, neither for black people and other ethnic minorities in the US or here in Brazil since the police is racist and will kill for absolutely nothing. This can't be ignored.

Carrying the collective knowledge of humanity on our pockets is impressive and yet we are pushed sensationalized lies and disinformation for profits sake at every corner. Even when its not for profit, the status quo is so strong that other views and perspectives are easily dismissed. The whole internet is so heavily monetised you can't use it properly without an adblock.

I think this is a better perspective, since it screams that we need change, radical change, the current system cannot solve any of this.

Neither doomerism, nor this positive way of viewing the world are gonna change it for the better, only fighting for it will.

A “capitalist,” according to socialists, esp. Marxists, is someone who engages in anticompetitive behavior, insider trading, protection racketeering, bribery, and all manner of dubious and criminal behavior.

No, a capitalist is someone that owns the means of production and doesn't have to work to live. People like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. And since capitalism is an infinite for profit driven economy, the capitalists will do anything to increase their profit and their power, hence why they engage in the things you listed, the system literally demands it.

Someone who just believes that people should be able to trade freely, associate freely, and keep the vast majority of what they have earned or traded for fairly are routinely called capitalists by socialists and communists to shame them for being successful.

No, we call them liberals or neoliberals, because that's what they are, "capitalist" have an actual definition, like I explained above, just like what you are describing is a lib. Besides, everyone can trade freely in a socialist society, what they can't is own the means of production and exploit peoples labor for their own profit.

Also, we don't shame people for being "successful". There is no moral judgment, we simply understand how the system work and want to dismantle it, so exploitation from human being to human being ceases being a thing.

If the worker makes everything, everything belongs to the worker and not the 1% at the top that does nothing.

Oh just fuck off you transphobic, ableist piece of shit.

You come here saying the most ignorant, insensitive crap and then try to demand people to answer you?

And stop with the LGB bullshit. Will it take you imbeciles having your skulls literally crushed by fascists to realize that siding with this alt-right rethoric is the wrong fucking thing to do?
