Thanks to the immortal science of dialectical and historical materialism I have never once been confused by the Democratic Party’s actions. I suggest people try that instead of scratching their heads every day

It has never been more apparent that the democratic party does not have a cohesive idea of what the nation should be doing, only how they can profit off of whats happening, and what legislature would benefit that goal most. The idea of starting over is scary, but not getting the chance is scarier.
I thought you were making being snarky and laughed The I read your comments, and it appears that some people are taking you seriously.
I am 100% serious
How can you not see their naked depraved grasping its disgusting.
Self identification as a Democrat is a helluva drug

It's 2025, anyone who finds this statement unusual or controversial is a weirdo who doesn't read anything but YA novels.
Well no. It means I don't treat ideology like a religion. Sorry, no cults for me.
When you know how to speak like you're not in a cult bsky.app/profile/wonk...
Do you talk like this to the server at Ruby Tuesdays, and do you think she spits in your frittata?
The "woke jargon" of people should have rights and their needs met
So you don’t wholeheartedly support liberalism?
I'm done now because I don't waste my time on cultists. I genuinely thought the initial post was a clever parody, but it's clear now that I stumbled into a bubble. Good by.
Ok. Weird you can’t even answer the question
You are in your own bubble where you think, like maga, that every leftist that disagrees with you is a bot.
Just in case anybody comes across this before they go looking - this person couldn't be more up their own ass. They are playing the solo version of human centipede. There is a long screed from her justifying her BS becauses....(checks notes)...her building mate leaves the hallway window open.
What is religious or cultlike about the statement?
What ideology? You people don't believe anything
Please read books, soon, for god’s sake.
You should do some reading, Laura. It’ll be good for you!
Man it sure is strange how the democratic politicians keep doing things that benefit rich people, just a weird coincidence I’m sure
Remember that time we completely dogshit in Jane Coastons mentions because she said Chuck Schumer wasn't the bad guy? That was awesome
Snarky but true.
Well I am confused. Not by the party leaders but by its rank and file. How many fucking times do communists need to Cassandra the fuck out of dumb shit party leadership supports before the rank and file realizes that these people are incompetent stooges of capital?
Matt Yglesias has spent his whole career having bad takes. The man has literally never been right.
X/Twitter: fuck off, COMMIE scum! Bluesky: fuck off, TANKIE scum
It is kind of awesome you get “Very Serious” pundits still having a job after constant rake stepping for thirty years.
If it’s your job to step on the rakes and look surprised then business is good

Yeah for real let's stop promoting anything on Spotify pls

Why are the agents of capital acting like agents of capital Curious
But I voted for better agents of capital

The democrats are due to pass progressive legislation. They’re due!
It helps to understand the Democratic Party as less of a political party, and more of a corporate slush fund for a couple dozen millionaires to live off of.
It's confusing cause the Lesser Evil Capitalist party is not actually one of lesser evil capitalists.
Exactly. Once you study dialectical and historical materialism, the Democratic Party’s maneuvers stop being “confusing” and start being entirely predictable. Their role is to preserve capitalism, nothing more.
My siblings and I have been out of food for 4 days. In The Gambia 🇬🇲 the government ignores us while we suffer without food or medicine. Please, if you can, support us we are really struggling. 👉 chuffed.org/project/1364...
It's kind of arcane at first to your red blooded, capitalist-brained Americans but once you make the paradigm shift it changes everything and becomes super straight forward
I never really got the reason for sticking to terms like dialectical materialism. Seems needlessly jargony compared to “where the money goes” or “who gets what”
Because the vague terms are much easier to co-opt. And, yeah, it's a biiiiiiit more complicated than "where money goes"
You mean what we say and how we say it MATTERS? Like…like does it affect my follower count or something?
It is an economy of language thing. It isn’t “Jargony” it is “The English Language.”
you must love biology
Hey as a celiac disease haver I enjoy your handle. I'm going to say it's really, really important to understand this concept properly.
They’re specifically referring to philosophical schools of thought. Idealist vs Materialist. Idealism being faith or conceptual. Materialism is based on science or observation. Dialectical meaning to argue or contend with vs Mechanistic, which viewed society and nature as existing mechanisms.
never really got the reason for reading or understanding theory written by the people who built communism a bit better each time before it got annihilated by capitalism. guess i'll post on bsky about it instead of trying to learn teehee
For REAL. Gods I am tired of this shit about how Words Have Whatever Meaning We Feel Like, bc we’ve never read a book so we can grasp that a Term exists for a specific REASON. Just say whatever! No big deal what definitions are, it’s just meaningless words, after all, throw them around to look cool.
I haven't read as much theory, this much I admit. But I have never been confused either thanks to the observation that if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and constantly makes promises to undo the evils of the republican party while instead perpetuating them like a duck...
You literally have: -The "More Fascism" party. -The "Lets stay at this level of fascism for four years until people are ready for more fascism" party. I'm not saying capitalism isn't the root of it all. It ABSOLUTELY is, I'm just saying before any discussion about the issue can be fruitful...
why use the most powerful predictive tool available when there cld b *other* reasons
Something incredibly funny about going "someone suggested I read a book and I couldn't ignore them fast enough"
what if things can somehow both be complicated and have a shared causality. marx didn't say "class struggle is the proximal cause of everything that happened" after all.
it all spawns and is maintained by white supremacy. shit gets a looooooot less complicated when you realize the world order has been white supremacy for at least half a millennia
yeah i think 12 guys having more wealth than 4 billion guys causes those 4 billion guys to suffer.
People who are WILLFULLY ignorant will never cease to baffle and enrage me. Like you have the ability to read Marx, even if just to attempt to more holistically refute it! And guess what! Lol you won't fucking be able to because you'll read it and it'll sink in over time.
But NOOOOO, gotta keep deciding to not educate yourself, meaning you'll continue to shoot both yourself and everyone around you in the foot 🤦🤬
I have met a lot of people like this: convinced that they understand a thinkers’ ideas but also totally unwilling to read those ideas lest the evil infect them. Doesn’t work that way with conservative writing. I read Sowell and believe you me I was not infected.
You have more staying power than I haha, I've only read a few of his papers for college courses. In fairness, I can't stand the entire field of economics though. Starting and ending with the fact that they proclaim it as a scientific endeavor🙄
This part. Left-wing writing and academia holds conclusions you could reach from any end, but such content from the right doesn't really scratch any particular itch unless you were already a heinous piece of shit to begin with.
"my leftist peers"
What did they do this time?
But what do we do about it?
