The amount of “If you vote for either party you are rewarding the capitalist genociders” going around the “lefty” communities here and elsewhere is off the charts. Good to hear a voice of reason instead of “leftists, don’t vote” propaganda.

The Daily Show on Comedy Central, posted to Youtube, is not sponsored media?

LOL, yeah. Capitalism.

The great socialist countries are way ahead with modular, standardized mobile handset components.

Everyone knows the longest-lived PC bus standards came out of the Soviet Union and North Korea in the 80s.

And large businesses worldwide are still running accounting software on the mainframe architecture China’s government developed in the 60s.

“direct action”, otherwise unspecified. Maybe carrying a sign or blocking traffic will stop imperialism? Maybe stealing the neighbors’ Amazon packages? I don’t know, and I bet he comes up with nothing other than glittering generalities.

can you be more specific than just saying direct action? Like what does this action entail? What do you go out and do?

[–] aubeynarf@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

yeah, that’s basically giving up any power you do have.

let me know how the direct action works out.

Can you outline those things that actually matter, that you are doing?

Use all the tools at your disposal. Vote for the better of the candidates, and then also take direct action or whatever.

It’s stupid to “protest the system” by rejecting the method it does give you to steer it. If it’s ineffectual, you’ve lost nothing. If you happen to be one of 10,000 that markedly changes the outcome away from an outwardly evil candidate, then you have made a significant positive difference.

Can you say what you mean by “leftist” then?

Can you define what you mean by “liberals”?
