I'm really appreciating how much restraint y'all guys are showing with the downvotes. Thanks everyone.

I'm a pro-downvote extremist and you've just made an enemy for life

the anti-work movement has been a blight on communism

I feel like it has the wrong name. But it is a baby step for many toward anticapitalist ideals.

Work is good, and can be beneficial. Working a job you hate because if you don't you'd starve is awful and should be done away with.

It seems like the atmosphere is changing now but I've been saying this for years.

The language of privilege is backwards and counter productive.

The DNC is the primary obstacle to progress and no progress is possible between now and when they go the way of the Whigs because of the rigged duopoly system.

Wanting less/more immigration are both perfectly valid positions.

Immigration can provide opportunities to a country but can also cause issues and it's undemocratic and dangerous to demonize either position on the issue.

  • permanent revolution;
  • that parties should be democratic institutions;
  • that burocratization leads to deformed proletarian states.

We should try harder to keep weapons out of the hands of criminals, sometimes taxation is necessary and sometimes it's beneficial even if we don't factor in revenue, people will sometimes make decisions that are so bad that we have a moral obligation to intervene in order to protect them from the most disastrous outcomes

Humans aren't going to evolve towards intelligence. We're a pretty short-sighted stupid species. We're going to continue to devolve and kill ourselves off, one way or another.
