“I’m going to be reading the opening poem”
“Blah blah I was an anarchist and a communist, I’m bougie as shit and got into purity politics and WHY CAN’T we just be nice?!?!?”
Like seriously in the opening remarks for a lecture on the Salem Witch Trials?
Wtf Harvard?
The Ark – the Most Radical Thing To Do
I love this song but this is some liberal nonsense… Depending on how they mean it
I need it because my terminology is confusing people who aren’t up on their theory.
Like seriously, why do you think some bourgeois lady is going to ever give a shit about me except as a talking point to boost her political cred?
She’s not. She never will.
The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. We never have. We never will.
Damn.
I haven’t slept. God I need wine
Phil Ochs – Love Me I’m A Liberal
TW: Lesbophobic slurs.
I want a really good updated version, “I read Slate, Salon and Huffpo”
There is a tweet regarding data. There is Paul Mason positing that the best analogy to describe the transition from the current economic state to the next would be “the replacement of feudalism by capitalism.” And there is Sweden moving to a world without cash.
#liberalism oh my goood.
Not using bills and coins is not the same as not using money, syriza is a mess, oh my god
Have like a right wing (compared to me) bias. I see yr anti-communist “entrepreneurial” bull.
Liberals are not leftists
Liberals are not leftists
Liberals are not leftists
Liberals are not leftists
Is when liberals get ahold of and try to use leftist analyses, and try and treat individuals like systems because they get the two confused, or sometimes when leftists show residual liberal thought and continue to treat the individual as the system, looking for the villain in the wrong place.
I think a lot of people don’t have the very Marxist context a lot of social justice theory stems from, and Marxist theory is very macro, a very broad and big picture view, and treating some little petite bourgeois store owner like the incarnation of capitalism is a huge mistake, they’re a product of the system, not the system itself… I mean I think the liberal conceit of treating individuals as the system is what lead to a lot of human rights abuses in “socialist” nations.
Dismantling systems is harder and more complicated than tearing people apart, but still.
The way to dismantle systems is spreading memes not sending anon hate.
People don’t tend to listen when they feel attacked, and like I feel like treating individuals as systems tends not to actually work, because it doesn’t actually address the system they exist within, and although the system changing requires people to change their behavior, the way a system is discussed should generally be different from how an individual is discussed.
Do you know what I mean?
