telling people that the nazis were socialists is holocaust denial by the way

legitimately baffled by the reformism of, "social murder," to describe someone being held accountable for a rancid, pro-power-imbalance take by having their platform obliterated, rather than what the term actually meant

friedrich engels coining, "social murder," referred to the systems of capitalism deliberately murdering portions of the population without needing to assign actual assassins

some examples (of which there are many more) are anti-homeless architecture merging with theft of public housing to murder the poor, disability unfriendly architecture and theft of public medicine to murder the disabled (by the way this is why a communist revolution would actually be beneficial to the disabled), or the school-to-prison-pipeline and mass surveillance of Black and Brown people merging with workplace racism (which also serves to keep workers' surplus labour higher) to murder Black and Brown people

thinking about how objectively funny deep rock galactic is

you get sent to another galaxy by a massive mining corporation with little regard for safety regulations in what is presumably a capitalist dystopia

only for these dwarves, now separated from their home planet, to make a general union AND trade unions and negotiate bonuses, safer working conditions, and better weapons and armour for the job

dwarf fortress levels of, "a dwarf is entitled to the sweat of her beard"

y'all (a lot of my followers) have got to reblog mutual aid fundraisers more. please. honestly reblog fundraisers in general. i get that the palestinian and sudanese and congolese can't contribute back right now, but you shouldn't expect them to, especially not in the middle of a fucking genocide. ive seen multiple kickstarters get finished in under a day, but ive seen fathi's fundraiser only go from 50% to roughly 75% in over a year. i see significantly less posts about sudanfunds—a sudanese gazafunds equivalent—and sudanese fundraisers. i can't remember the last time ive seen an aid post for the congo. even if you don't have anything to spare, you should at least share them around to find people who can.

harsh reminder that calling fascists neckbeards is inherently fascist

don't tie biology to ideology

thanks

it still baffles me that people take "reporting this person i think is a communist or jew to the english government" george "i have never been able to bring myself to dislike hitler (direct quote)" orwell "the entire world should be ruled by an imperial general council which maintains english military presence in its colonies" and "worked for a cia-funded writers propaganda network" hannah "asians are oriental despots" arendt "stalin is just like hitler" seriously about concepts like "authoritarianism" or "totalitarianism," especially when they both wrote incredibly anti-communist literature during the height of world war 2

voting rights act got gutted. usa is legally allowed to perform racial discrimination on voters. (they already were, but its pretty much unrestricted now)

we're not getting out of this situation through voting. please read the state and revolution by vladimir lenin
