The part that worries me about America dying is that it’s going to lash out at the rest of the world and take everyone down with it.
I don’t think it’s going the way the communists want to though
How so?
It seems those willing to exterminate communists are grabbing the power
Yeah… I think a lot of people are thinking the end of the USA will mirror the end of the USSR, hoping that China will step in to fill the vacuum as the western hegemony did when the USSR failed.
Im afraid it’s not going to be that simple or bloodless, and that with the advent of climate change the world’s just going to be rocked by food and resource insecurities while major powers scramble to secure borders and resources.
I think we’ve probably hit a point where capitalism is running on fumes, but those fumes may have already run long enough to where it’s too late to switch to a new economic/political system before the shit hits the fan.
Relatable as fuck. Yeah yeah innocent people dying is bad, but Americans have had ample opportunity to change things before it came to this, so I think I’ll kick back and enjoy the schadenfreude.
If only my mom could see the trash thats posted around here…

Look up ya nerd? Last comment above? Whatcha got for me? Remember, I just made a comment, not a post.
Edit: id be surprised if you responded.
You should ask your mom what it means
Bro what in the brainrot is your comment?
Nevermind… Id have to explain way to much. Not my problem.
I can’t bring myself to be happy about it when it involves a bunch of innocent people suffering.
Innocent people around the world have been suffering due to American imperialism for long, long time. You’re only scared of white people being included.
Based take
Yeah, it’s a real tragedy all those cishet white folks getting stuffed in ICE vans and stopped at the borders.
I found cognitive behavioral therapy very helpful and cannot recommend it enough.
Obama deported more of those people than Trump did. You didn’t even care about them until republicans had their turn lol. That’s why I’m principled and you’re not.
You’re projecting onto me things that you’ve observed in other people who are not me.
I hate accelerationism.
But tell me we were ever going to get to universal healthcare through incrementalism.
This isn’t accelerationism. It’s America doing America things. Accelerationism would be when communists contribute to the process
Accelerationism is the stupidest idea. Other than all the others that have been tried.
We’re just riding the bus. Jesus is at the wheel and he’s pressing the gas pedal. We’re just anticipating the destination, not changing how fast we get there. 😄

I hate the political compass. r/PCM did a lot in normalizing the far right and recruiting for them. And it’s not even close to accurate (Hitler shows up as barely to the right ffs).
I like the early generation where the whole point of the meme was to call libertarians pedophiles
But will what replaces it be any better?
Doubtful.
I do look at trump ruining everything as opportunity to make people accept the keft

This is literally leftymemes, what are you even doing here??
I mean it does represent the soviet union, a brutal dictatorship. Though I don’t think there’s a better symbol
The hammer and sickle is used by practically every socialist movement. What sort of leftist doesn’t know that??
The hammer and sickle is used by practically every socialist movement.
Really?
I know. It’s just that it was originally created by the soviet union.
The nation that created the most successful iteration of socialism ever…
you have got to be kidding me. Tankies gonna tankie i guess
As an Anarchist even I have to acknowledge that to date the Soviet Union has been the most successful socialist state, of course I am also of the belief that if the Republicans in Spain or the Anarchists in Ukraine they would have established far more successful implementations of socialism. Still the fact remains that the Soviet Union was by all metrics available successful and even until the very end the majority of people in nearly every SSR supported keeping the Soviet Union alive (if not with reforms), they suffered CIA and western backed reactionary rebellions and I don’t belive any other socialist state would have handled it any better
(yes according to polling made by the reactionaries to gage how much the Soviet population wanted to end to the Soviet Union the majority did not, they promptly ignored the results)
Westerners gonna western. None of your fam is from there probably ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Name a more successful iteration of socialism. I’ll wait. You seem very confident about this lol.
Edit: they were never heard from again 🤣
Except that there was nothing socialist about it.
I am not a fan of the USSR, but when the guy in charge is nationalizing everything and abolishing private property it is socialism whether we like it or not.
congratulations you found a liberal
Hasn’t China surpassed it at this point?
Yeah, but that’s “socialism with Chinese characteristics” aka state capitalism. Modern China is very much not socialist.
If we mention China, the libs here are gonna be even more pissed. Baby steps.

Claiming to be an anarchist and insist we use flags is peak irony. Never met an anarchist that thinks nations should even exist. Your beliefs are incoherent.
Claiming the most popular socialist symbol is a fake leftist symbol is a bit rich. I guess real leftism is posturing about anarchism online lol.
You haven’t broken out of your CIA education even. Fascinating.
i don’t see someone demanding you comply with their worldview, i see someone giving you advice on how to be a more effective communicator, and therefor recruiter. class-based politics is all about solidarity with the working people, and for a lot of working people the hammer and sickle represents the capital holders that opressed them. leftists operating in post-soviet countries go out of their way to ensure that it’s clear that their politics align with Nestor Mahkno and not Vladimir Lenin. they are still communists, but they very universally identify as anarchists because the goal is not to revive the soviet union which dissappeared their relatives, but instead bring about a true post-state world.
they do this not because they haven’t broken out of their CIA poison but because the hammer and sickle was representative of a system of authoritarianism that was left wing in aesthetic only

I don’t know who “we” is, but I think you would fit in better in an anarchist community instead.
this is a lefty memes community on an anarchist server. it is an anarchist community
Check the sidebar :3
For a community of anarchists, there’s a lotta liberals in here…

If I remember right, “we” is celes personal pronoun.
I don’t know what was said before the deletion, but are anarchists not welcome here?
i feel pretty unwelcome in this community. it’s making me plan a lemmy hiatus to focus the energy i waste here on distributing some more zines this week with instructions on strategies that have proven useful against ICE

…don’t preach, anarchists aren’t really…
…not quite sure the symbols are correct, but very close…
Cuba and Venezuela are in america. I’m guessing this is about a specific country in north america.
Well to be fair Argentina is also rapidly dying and their economy is in total ruin due to that neoliberal shithead, maybe they’ll see a socialist revolution too
Why stop at North, it could be Peru.
