One More Fat Nerd posted:The funniest option is absolutely for a combo of covid deaths and Trump "elections are fake!" based voter suppression to deliver extra seats to the dems, only for the public to find out the Democratic party has exactly as many Joes Manchin as are needed to ensure nothing good happens.

like I think this year I gave $25 to one democrat because she called me and seemed nice. she asked for $250 tho which was not nice  that's it that's my contributions to democrats this year and it's already way too loving much imo I did tell her I'd have given more if she'd just run as a communist and that I hate the dems

C-Euro posted:Funniest/most galling Dem "loss" from the last couple of days IMO is India Walton losing the Buffalo mayoral race after the guy she beat in the primary got more votes than she did as a write-in . I've always said that US elections needs WWE-style "loser leaves town" rules and this just further advances my case. I think the biggest lesson to take from this and like hundreds of other elections around the country over the last few years is "if you're a socialist quit loving running on the Democratic ticket."

WampaLord posted:I don't think an anticommunist would say "Marx got this right" he seems to think that people are best served by a strong capitalist class and a strong working class. a situation where neither has the upper hand. where capitalism can co-exist with a working class that is able to force demands of it. this is, of course, liberal nonsense, and chris is stupid to think this

WampaLord posted:fair enough, I just think it's rare to see "Marx was right" in political commentary I don't think chris hedges is a reactionary, but he's doing basically the same thing: "see, I'm hip, marx was right about one or two things, now let's do all this other poo poo that definitely would have had marx saying 'no don't do that it will never work you idiot, you loving moron'"

the new deal was incredibly racist sweaty. almost as bad as slavery if you think about it. it was so racist that even if we did another new deal that wasn't racist, it would still be racist. that's how racist the new deal was. also you can't spell "new deal" with just the letters in lgbtqia2s+ which should give you some idea of how bad the new deal was

Deep Dish Fuckfest posted:yes. a while ago someone in another thread posted excerpts from a book that looked at how the social democratic party in weimar germany was completely and utterly useless and did more to oppose the communists than any of the right wing parties, including the nsdap. the whole thing read exactly like today's democrats to the point if i didn't know where it was from and you'd changed the names and told me it was about the democrats i would've believed you. it had everything from party elites more interested in their own positions and the party itself than winning elections, and more interested in winning elections than actually doing anything. there was even a quote from someone at the time that went something like "they're not entirely inept at winning elections but they have no idea how to actually wield power". and there was at least one instance of them being utterly shocked at some of the election results because they assumed people would just vote for them by default while they did gently caress all to stop nazi rallies in places where the nazis had a decent support base. meanwhile the communists were doing their best to beat the poo poo out of nazis wherever they could, but getting arrested meant you'd go to jail for a good while, while the cops and judiciary was generally sympathetic to nazis and would let them off easily

Nix Panicus posted:The republicans still exist to squash leftist movement in the 'dems not destroyed' scenario too, only they don't have to because the democrats are far more effective at it. The democrats are designed to capture and subvert leftist energy and grind down any enthusiasm for leftwing positions. The intent is to be such insufferable 'allies' that those who cannot be subverted become apathetic. Outright opposition would at least be something to drum up enthusiasm

Regarde Aduck posted:lmao it has nothing to do with 'covert' and everything to do with CSPAM being the politics of reactionary despair. There's no real line of left and right anymore its just people screaming into the void about liberals and whatever the dems are doing being bad so now there's threads that think the Proud Boys are comrades, another thread that thinks the Canadian truckers who tried to burn down an apartment full of people are the true workers vanguard and vaccines mandates are now bad actually, but also don't leave your house without a full biohazard protection suit. The few posters who had actually read socialist literature before the 2016 'new left' influx are mostly normal and ideologically stable, the rest of you are cooked as gently caress bouncing between fringe extremist positions, each time getting a little bit more desperate and depressed.
