    The revolution in question: endless amount of protests that are supported by “progressive bilionaires” like il Duce intended

    Kinda wish they didn’t have an actual revolution yet, cause at this point all it’d cause is a fuckton of deaths just to put a group like democrats back in power, then for reactionaries to go back into power democratically a couple years later. People there are genuinely blind to their predicament still, thinking the problem is just Trump.


  • No, the current class society is dominated and shaped by the bourgeois (business owners/capitalists) and not some evil collective gender cabal. It’s in the interests of this ruling class to oppress women, given how they can pay them less, have them stay at home raising children for free via unpaid labor who them grow up to being workers to have surplus value extracted from, and therefore exploited in the future. These future workers can be both men and women, and they’re getting fisted regardless of one’s gender.

    Removing this class element from women’s struggle and making it solely about one’s gender is genuinely harmful, as it makes others blind to the true cause of the oppression.


  • I mean, even this kind of argument doesn’t really work in reality. We already live in “hell on earth”, and via electorialism usually two choices are given: the progressive “nothing ever happens” option (so your socdems, democrats, you’ll be lucky to get a good policy or two but no real change to the status quo) or “literally hitler” option, maybe some parties that stand in the middle of the spectrum if the country is “advanced” enough.

    In other words, via electorialism you can either preserve the hell on earth or make it worse, and the process of voting legitimizes this status quo as it’s what “people have decided” rather than who the ruling class cast as candidates, who had the most money and media influence for campaigning.

    It’s important to see electorialism for what it truly is.

    Because democracy is just as bad as fascism…

    Fully aware you’re being mockingly sarcastic, but there’s some truth to that - democracy and fascism aren’t some “polar opposites”, but rather just a form of class rule and you get one or the other depending if times are good. If times are relatively alright, you have normal democracy and elections, and when they’re not (with there being risks of severe class conflict or overthrow), that’s when you get fascism to concentrate capital and suppress dissent.

    Also, a “working democratic system” doesn’t say much when there’s nothing more to it than billions in campaign funds and media to decide who’s getting elected.
