I dont have any problems with most of what you said but commanding people to renounce their faith is a bad move. Remember, religion is the opium of the masses. You dont attack addiction by shaming the addict, you attack addiction by changing their conditions. It is not ignorance that keeps people in religion, it is pain.

No need. You are right. But you are right primarily in Ethos not Pathos.

They are socialists. They may not be effective, they may not hold the values you like, but they are socialists. I dont like the fact that current socialist Burkina Faso just illegalized my people, but they are socialists. Us does not mean carbon copy.

Just like we are still hoping they win, we can still hope that Dems are forced to cede power to the left.

Whoosh

Zionist dogwhistle, proceeds to argue for the delegitimization of your own argument for that. There was no argument that it was not a Jewish ethnostate.

Calm down. Reread what I said. I did not in any way condemn your position. I legitimized it. I understand why you are angry, I understand why you misunderstood. As for that decision regarding my mental health, I reached the point of psychosis and almost killed random people. In order to stop that, I looked into peaceful options knowing that they are illogical. Choosing to hope for the best even if the best is not possible. And btw, I want justice too, my brother was killed by medical experimentation through the US military, I witnessed many of my Trans friends commit suicide during 2025. This is why being a realist can cause more harm than good. I am not ok with this, your methods work and need to happen. I just cannot participate without losing my shit.

This is a Nazi parrot point. Just because they are doing a genocide does not negate the genocide done to them. The reason that Zionism is not Jewish is because Zionists prioritize European Jews over the Jews already in the land. It is brother on brother killing. Palestinians are more closely related to the original Israelites than Israelis.

Ew, no. There is a fundamental misunderstanding here. This is not merely an ideological nuance (although your opposition to that is weird and gross) Democratic Socialism vs MLs and Anarchists is primarily a discussion on the methods of leftist organization and action. MLs and Anarchists tend to believe that establishing socialism in the current system is impossible and so the only option is to violently remove the powers at be. Democratic Socialists, on the other hand, believe that socialism can be achieved through reform. A Democratic Socialist tells you to vote while a ML tells you to strike. That is the practical difference.

<3 I feel you. I hope you dont get banned. I have been there and it hurts, the only reason I started pursuing peaceful options is because it was destroying my mental health.

Problem #1. Democratic Socialism is almost certain to fail. The best example of this is what happened to President Allende of Chile in the 1970s, every time a socialist is elected there will be powers that cause their assassination and/or overthrow.

Problem #2. Democratic Socialism has ethical issues with maintaining the current system during reform. Many argue that as long as the institutions of liberal democracy remain the same, socialism and by extension communism will be impossible.

Problem #3. If you were to stabilize Democratic Socialism and if that Democratic Socialism were to actually establish socialism, then there would be the problem of maintaining bourgeoise crimes under socialism. There is no practical form of enforcement for right wing oppressors under Democratic Socialism.

Problem #4. This is primarily for liberal socialists such as anarkitties but it is still a problem that needs to be mentioned. Democratic Socialism is simultaneously too authoritarian for liberal socialists and too revisionist for MLs. It often makes temporary unity but that unity simply cannot last. Anarchists want pure communism right now and will fight other revolutionaries to get it, MLs are too closely associated with Nationalistic movements to try to maintain liberal democracy. DemSocs make enemies of the whole left but damnit we aint gonna let fash bash them tho. Just cause we dont like ya dont mean ya aint one of us.

Practical freedoms vs Freedom in name.

Elaborate please.

I am religious (I know that this is not materialist but I dont care, I dont have the ability to make you able to experience the visions that God gave me) this means that my faith shapes a lot of the politics that I hold. One of which is my view on Israel/Palestine. Based on the Torah and Prophets, Israel is committing an atrocity against the Holy Land and against their brothers by shedding the innocent blood of Juda’s brothers. Israel does not deserve its name, it is a Jewish state, it does not represent all of Israel. It kills the other tribes and denys their inheritance. My position is a one state solution that actively tries to eliminate race.

Have nuance. You are correct. But also not. AI is simply one of the means of production which means that it will inherently change labor relations. This is what OP is talking about. Being anti AI for the sake of being anti AI is dumb. Being anti AI because it is being used to prop up a dying parasite class is a more balanced point of view. That is the point of the post (not communicated very well though).
