The world doesn’t fear Russia, though, the world fears the west. It’s the west that fears Russia, and is harvesting Ukraine for resources and racking them up with debt for hand-me-down surplus to support the far-right Banderites in Kiev ethnic cleansing the Donbass region. The Ukrainian people increasingly want peace over war, not to fight to the last Ukrainian, it’s the Banderites that want to sacrifice Ukrainain people while they hide from the frontlines.

Yea, no. EA is bad, but isn’t nearly as bad as companies like Palantir.

IQ is pretty much a bullshit statistic that largely correllates to education and economic standing than anything else. There isn’t some grand variance in intelligence, actually, what’s at play is competing class interests and socioeconomic factors determining diet and access to education.

Lenin’s position on integrating with the masses meant running working class parties in opposition to establishment parties, ie voting PSL over DNC. The vanguard’s task is to become a party that the working class puts their full support behind, so that when revolution does happen, the vanguard can serve as the spearpoint to direct the masses in one unified direction and crush the capitalist state, replacing it with a socialist one.

Lemmy is full of leftists, the vast majority of which understand that electoralism and reformism are losing strategies and that revolution is generally necessary.

Leftists are always anti-DNC and focus on organizing over electoralism, so I don’t see why you think this is related to any election coming up.

I did find meaningful sources, you just stuck your head in the sand as soon as it said something counter to what you believe. What am I supposed to do in that case?

Organizing is what puts actual pressure on the system, and is what won every single major working class victory. Not just wishcasting via voting. It has been through organizing that the Civil Rights Movement passed, that chattel slavery was abolished, and more.

The GOP moved rightward, because that’s entirely compatible with what the capitalist class is okay with and even wants at times. The DNC, on the other hand, keeps moving rightward despite their voterbase moving leftward, because their base is that very same capitalist class. That’s why politicians lie, it would be very easy to not lie if you were actually basing your support on voters.

Yep, lol

Try shopping around for different instances, the one you’re on can actually see a huge number of communities that accounts on Lemmy.world can’t see, as an example. One of the better ways to use Lemmy is to either scroll an instance you vibe with locally, or by using a broad account and browsing by subscribed communities.

Have a great day to you too!

Haha, I just scroll by new comments.

Oh yea, I salute the troops.

The troops in question:

Lemmy.world is the big one, sh.itjust.works is more of a mixed bag but has a stronger cryptofash presence. Really, outside of Lemmy.ml, Lemmygrad.ml, Hexbear.net, and usually dbzer0, there’s a much larger chance of being liberals rather than actual anarchists or Marxists.

The DNC will never change to the point of siding with the working classes, because their base is in their donors and the ones who hold the means of production, wealthy imperialists.

Bingo. Class dynamics take priority over voting mechanisms.

It was left in the context of a world dominated by feudalism, but we no longer live in that age.

Kinda? The spectrum aspect is a bit iffy and I don’t use it, but there are absolutely socialists on the left and capitalists on the right, and that’s useful for understanding. Trying to argue over which is more or less left or right doesn’t usually matter as much as the left/right distinction outright.

Can you elaborate?

USSR, PRC, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, Nicaragua, Venezuela, etc. were all won through revolution and working class organization. Even then, my point was clearly about the necessity of organizing. It is through working class organizing that politicians and the capitalist class are threatened into giving concessions, not through passively voting for sloganeers and other charlatans.
