  • Fascism is defined by the destruction of capital in non-military sectors, the dominance of some sectors of capital over others (beyond as laid out in imperialism to the point of contravening the typical form of the dictatorship of capital)and imperialist policies like forced labor being directed inward to compensate for a decline of empire.

    Given that DPRK has industrialized throughout its history, has taken steps to shrink its military expenditures in comparison to the rest of the economy, has no dictatorship of capital within the country, doesn’t use slave labor and is a historically imperialized nation as opposed to a former imperial power, I do not see how you can define the DPRK as fascist.



  • Bisexuals who bring the straight relationship paradigm into dating or the bedroom. (Not all or most bisexuals, but damn, certainly some)

    It’s mostly just really sad -men need to up their dating game, and a lot of straight sex expectations feel kinda rapey. Like girl it’s not normal for your partner to choke you in the middle of sex without asking or prenegotiation and it is weird that you were disappointed that I didn’t do that.






  • Telling me that I’m not a Socialist because I’m not a registered member of a Socialist organization doesn’t encourage me to join any organization. It encourages me to dump you and find an actual mutual ally.

    “Saying I’m only sympathetic to abolition if I’m not doing abolitionist work doesn’t make me want to do abolitionist work”

    Okay what will then, do you want a headpat or a handjob or what?

    The dumped metaphor is great because in this metaphor you weren’t dating to begin with. You were just admiring.

    But seriously if someone questioning your commitment when you aren’t committed makes you react with fleeing somewhere else that is on you.

    Stop saying stupid exclusionary things about your left-wing allies if you want to actually have a movement capable of change.

    If you’re not in the movement you are not a socialist. The movement is a real, organized thing, not just vibes.


  • He sometimes tells his audience to log off and join an org, we get a handful of new recruits occasionally due to the guy.

    So he actually is successfully moving people from being socialist sympathizers to actual socialists (you need to be part of an org to be a socialist)

    That’s all I really know about him, besides some people being thirsty about him.











  • And all these people think Israel are the good guys? I wonder what their opinions about apartheid South Africa were at the time.

    Israel was explicitly founded as a settler-colonial project, you can look up quotes from famous founding zionists.

    “You are being invited to help make history … it doesn’t involve Africa, but a piece of Asia Minor; not Englishmen, but Jews … How, then, do I happen to turn to you since this is an out-of-the-way matter for you? How indeed? Because it is something colonial.”
