not if we are organized outside of it
When's that going to happen? Why has no one organized it? Are you going to?
I organize locally.
You organize locally to end capitalism?
How has that worked out for you so far?
the fbi hasn't framed me on weapons charges yet, so I guess not well enough.
In order to end capitalism, you have to be framed on weapons charges? Can you explain how that will end capitalism?
when people are successfully organizing, the fbi notoriously takes an interest.
And how will the FBI taking an interest end capitalism?
it would just be an indicator that I'm doing well.
So if you’re in prison, you’re doing well in terms of ending capitalism? I don’t see how that is a measure of doing well. Lots and lots of people are in prison and there’s still capitalism. In fact, private prisons make a whole lot of profit. You would be making one of them a profit most likely. Please explain how that is a bad thing for capitalism.
disengage
Ah yes, the brave revolutionary runs away when asked to clarify. Capitalism destroyed forever.
didn't you literally run away instead of staying and fighting in america?
No, I literally protected my child. Because she's gay and that means she's in danger in America.
I suppose I should have risked her life on behalf of yours?
(Also, there are ways you can fight without being inside America's borders, but I have a feeling you're not fighting on either side of them yourself.)
make any excuse you want. you don't know anything about me.
So I guess the answer is yes, you expect me to have risked her life on behalf of yours.
I sure hope you aren't a parent.
Oh, and you've also made it clear that you think you can only fight for something if you're physically there. So I guess I know how you feel about Palestinians. Not your problem.
we arent.
just once I would like to hear any of you chucklefucks tell me how exactly you're going to make any of this work with all the willfully dumb and eagerly violent people who exist in the country we have right now. it takes decades to change a people, and we have been changed. you don't have the ability, the time, the resources, or the know how to change us again, now or in the future.
Give up then if that's how you feel. I've been beating the drum for electoral reform years and years, yet no one seems interested. I don't care if no one listens anymore, this drum will get smashed till someone takes it away.
electoral reform, really is the way, not just a better voting system but making it easier to vote, making it more difficult to gerrymander, getting rid of fptp.
it's a lot of big asks but if we want to save the country that's how.
also fixing the fucking madness that is the supreme Court
