Oh, TIL - thanks!

Help me, which term is racist?

You know there is a difference between wise people being listened to because of experience or just because it’s been smart and suggesting rules everyone then agrees on and a feudal lord or class thereof that are exploiting a poorer majority with threats of violence and living a lavish lifestyle. There are still existing tribes in Asia or Amazonas that don’t even have words for mine and yours because the concept of owning is so foreign to them. Everything is shared. To say that they are being ruled comparably to medieval and modern systems just doesn’t make sense.

And what does that have to do with this case?

I like a quote from the German left party. Said: “Well a true democratic communism hasn’t really had the chance to prove itself yet” - which got me to think. Maybe the democratic majority just doesn’t want communism. Now why is that? I think because almost all the opinions and information they are being barraged with are coming from capitalist owned news or because most people need to have this illusion that their work or whatever they are doing will eventually make them be better off than their neighbors.

Wow. You really think there’s going to be another election?

Is there a European Android-Alternative?

Bin bei Leuten, die hauptsächlich gegen etwas sprechen immer neugierig, wofür sie denn alternativ wären.

Ich hatte den Mietendeckel z.B nicht als primäre Maßnahme zur Schaffung neuer Wohnungen verstanden sondern gegen die kranke Spekulation auf dem Immobilienmarkt, die zu Leerstand und exponentiell steigenden Immobilienpreisen führt (unter anderem - das Thema ist natürlich etwas komplexer als das)

Wo wurden Mietendeckel in der Praxis denn als kontraproduktiv bewiesen ?

Welche anderen sozialen Forderungen siehst du als billigen Populismus?

Preisaufsicht und Entfall der Mehrwertsteuer auf Grundnahrungsmittel klingen nicht nur umsetzbar sondern auch vernünftig (Nach und während der Coronakreise macht der LEH Rekordgewinne, die Spritpreisbremse stecken sich die Ölkonzerne in die Tasche).

Subventionierung der öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel klingt mal nach sinnvollem Klimaschutz, der den sozial schwächeren auch nutzt, statt zu belasten.

Ich sehe da viele gute Ideen neben natürlich auch utopischen Vorstellungen. Auch das lese ich aber in wofür wie allen Parteiprogrammen.

Was möchtest du mit deinem Post eigentlich erreichen?

Wie du schon sagst, sind die Linke sehr weit weg von einer Regierungsbeteiligung (In der sie in einem Koalitionsvertrag ja sowieso solche Positionen nicht durchbekommen würden). Ich halte es allerdings für wichtig die Linke gerade wegen ihrer sozialpolitischen Positionen und Argumente in der Innenpolitik in den Bundestag zu wählen. Deutlich lieber als z.B die FDP.

Wundert mich einfach, dass so plötzlich nachdem die Linke in den Umfragewerten etwas gestiegen ist, so stark vor der bösen Linken hier gewarnt wird.

push already came to shove, and nobody fought. I don’t have much hope American Opposition to do anything.

Der Wahl-O-Mat wird von den Wahlprogrammen der Parteien gespeist (Also 80% bullshit), somit also höchstens gut für einen ersten Überblick oder für Parteien, die bisher noch nicht im Bundestag waren.

Spannend ist der neue Real-o-mat, der für die Parteien im Bundestag das tatsächliche Abstimmungsverhalten bewertet. Lohnt sich, dort mal reinzuschauen.

Oh, did his administration stop supplying weapons to Israel?

This is a good read. There is a pretty large socialist movement that seems to have the idea that to reach global socialism we need to defend every self proclaimed socialist state without asking any questions at all and hope they’ll get better over time.

Read my comments. I am not defending the genocide. Just not a big fan of the removal of any states or people. Your rage is directed in the wrong direction.

Thank you for correcting me in such a condescending way. Not everyone is a native speaker, doesn’t mean I don’t speak English.

Look at the comment I am replying to. The literally said Israel must go. What is that implicating? Certainly not Israel needs to be rehabilitated, like Nazi Germany, which is what I am advocating for here.

Reading your second paragraph, we seem to agree.

It’s the Comment I am replying to that seems to want Israel gone. How do you make that happen, without eradicating or displacing them (both of which is considered genocide)?

Thank God they didn’t gain the upper hand.

I think “Israel” needs to be demilitarized and dezionified so that they cannot hurt anyone else. The people responsible for the genocide and crimes against the Palestinian people need to be tried in a court. Let an international alliance govern the affairs of a new state of Palestinians and Jews willing to live together in piece. Everyone else who wants to continue the violence can fuck Off.

I don’t understand why I am being downvoted for this except that maybe some of these people screaming for peace here actually just want to reverse the killing.

Don’t go there. If people would’ve had these opinions on Germany after WW2 that would’ve went really bad. Germany has been rehabilitated not perfectly but imo rather well. I think it is possible for Israel/Palestine as well.

Or are you suggesting to genocide Israelis like their government is doing to Palestinians right now? That’d be pretty fucked up, don’t you think?

A friend of mine has a farm and adopts the occasional “free-range” chicken (which just means there is some outside part accessible from the cage). They are so heavily bred that they kept falling over because their breasts were too large, so they wouldn’t move much. This is always what I think about when I read free range. Basically a chicken too fat to move that can look outside an open window.

I think you missed the point.

Your first point is literally why I went vegetarian. I tried getting meat out of sources that I could ethically comply with but gave up after a while. If you live in a city it is practically impossible.

I say vegetarian, because I eat the occasional egg if I personally know the chickens and their living conditions.
