That’s how they get you to work multiple jobs for more hours to extract further value. If you are surviving then you are being paid the value of your labor power or being subsidized by family.

You explained it plenty well enough 👍

Never hurts to reread capital though

We should really be “asking” for a lot more

I agree, the goal would be the authority of workers to be popular first.

Absolutely, convincing liberals of this necessity is imperative

I mostly agree. I see nothing wrong with voting, though I understand the folks who didn’t vote in the last presidential election. I don’t think voting matters all that much outside of local elections but do what you will. It’s getting a lot of hate rn because it has felt very ineffective at preventing fascism and people are seeking alternatives.

Pacifism is not a virtue in and of itself. These people are going to murder me and the people who are supposed to prevent that have done nothing of value. I’m sorry your precious liberal values stop you from defending yourself. If liberal democracy can do nothing to prevent fascism then liberal democracy should be replaced.

for added detail

I understand not wanting to do violence, trust me I do. I hope I never have to hurt anyone in my life, so far I haven’t done so physically or on purpose. It does need to be done though. We are having violence done to us and it is okay to respond violently.

Yeah but I still thought it was funny

My problem is not with the individual my issue is with the deomcratic party. You are correct that there wasn’t anything Biden could actually do on his own. It would take a collective effort and likely military cooperation. It would cause political mayhem and be detrimental to the country as a whole and possibly destroyed the democratic party. It could prevent fascism though. I’m not saying any of this is easy or legal but it could have prevented fascism. Instead they did nothing of consequence.

I am personally of the opinion that fascism is incapable of being prevented through official means under capitalist liberal democracy so everything I say here is effectively meaningless. I’m sort of arguing that people in a system incapable of stopping fascism should have just done it anyway. Point is, you either have to accept that the democrats did nothing to stop fascism or that capitalist liberal democracy is incapable of stopping it and should be abandoned. Assuming you agree that the Trump administration is fascist.

You would probably refer to me as an authoritarian yeah but I think the term is meaningless. As far as I’m concerned all states are authoritarian and my endgoal is the dissolution of all states.

Edit: Roe v Wade should have been codified far before they had the chance to dismantle it but the democrats used it like a carrot on a stick.

Fascist should not be treated the same as a normal political opponent. You NEED to purge them from your government as soon as possible. You can spot proto-fascists, it is possible. Why in gods green earth would you wait until they have established power to challenge them, that’s stupid as hell. I’m sorry if it disturbs your liberal sensibilities but fascists deserve to be oppressed. They won’t hesitate to oppress you when they get power

They did in 2020, and then they did nothing to prevent fascism. The fascist did not face serious detrimental consequences of any kind. In fact they actively coveted and aided Israeli fascist which harmed their ability to get reelected.

Putting this in the post body actually, apologies for not doing so already

It is George Alexpoulos and iirc they are a fascist.

It’s literally on poob

Labor power is not the same as labor. The price of labor power is the minimum cost of reproducing labor. That’s enough money to provide food, water, and shelter. The quality of your shelter is up for debate though. Effectively, the price of labor power is how much it cost for you to be able to come to work the next day. VPP covers the topic in detail

What are the exact steps I need to take to butterfly effect world communism into existence as soon as possible.

For a less consequential question: where is the incan sun disk, does it still exist.

It’s small enough that I regularly interact with users I recognize and know a fair bit about but big enough that there are plenty of strangers. I like the radicalism too obviously. Best part is still the lack of ads though, can’t beat that.

I wish there was more silly haha content. Politics and news are great and all but I don’t want that to be all lemmy is. I do a little by posting funny hahas here and there. I don’t have any solutions to offer unfortunately.

Thanks 👍

Okay I can see what is happening here and its objectively funny but I crave historical context. What event does this image depict?

Why would anyone upscale this anyway??? These are strange times.
