Trotsky the person was acceptable, I don't agree with him, but he was acceptable. Trotskyists... idk, they've really embarrassed themselves lately.

Subhanallah and alhamdulillah are also like that.

I had a sus interaction with one of the staff on traaa, a year ago, but I really don't wanna reveal it, because I'm not sure if they're still there. It was like traumatic bad, but maybe not intentionally so. I'm still hiding from hexbear.

Your comment history passes the vibe test.

No, Signalis Replikas.

Yeah

These are my beliefs:

China is a semi-periphery country: They are exploited by finance and by unequal exchange, but they also benefit from looking the other way when they import commodities from periphery countries like cobalt from the DRC.

China is undermining the monopolies on investment, IPs, and advanced commodities necessary for industrialization that the West has held control over, and in doing so they're making it easier for periphery countries to industrialize and free themselves from neocolonialism, which helps anti-imperialist struggle.

However, you should not make the mistake of assuming they're doing this because they're good, you'd be a really bad historical materialist if you believed that. They do what they do because it's in their material interests as a semi-periphery country. They've escaped the control of imperialism, so they're free now to act towards their own interests instead of being slaves to the interests of international finance. That is to be expected and is definitely an improvement.

The contradiction between the periphery and the semi-periphery does need to be resolved, though, they need to be united.

He better do it.

I definitely don't care about going car-free for national security reasons. The only people who care about "national security" are conservatives. I couldn't give a fuck about Canada's national security.

Not just bikes.

Looks inside.

Bikes.

Use of force is by any state is unchecked state power, and having multiple parties does not imply democracy, nor make things more democratic.

But yes, I actually do support giving proletarian communists (specifically women and minorities) guns, so that the state can be terrorized into not making reactionary compromises that will lead to doom.

Yeah, like I'm trans and it seems like the majority of people want to erase me for it. Do we just let that go on until we have a democratic consensus that trans people actually do exist while 3,000 people are socially murdered in the time we wait?

It's the same for capitalist and imperialist oppression. Pro-imperialist or pro-capitalist ideologies or ideologies that comprimise with capitalism or imperialism are not neutral and shouldn't be respected just because a majority of people have them. People who who end up supporting liberalism or fascism should be oppressed.
