I watched and loved the entirety of DS9 and never thought that Sisko did anything wrong. Maybe I should rewatch, I don’t know.

Are you reading any communist texts or joining any communist parties?
Welcome to the team! May I ask what radicalized you?
South Korea has potemkin villages on its side of the border. The government pays people to live there for a few weeks out of the year. Otherwise they’re empty. Source: been there.
Liberals defending Nazis, exhibit one zillion.
Nothing is connected. We are all individual monads floating in a void, our interactions mediated entirely by the market.
I forgot, it’s only mature intelligent high-IQ adults who lick the boot of slavery and genocide.
Are you me? My partner is from South Korea, and her parents grew up under a fascist dictatorship and were literal slaves (one is a small business owner now, the other is basically his live-in domestic servant). They’ve actually been really nice to me but they abused their kids pretty severely. My spouse likes them (from a distance—she has a harder time with them in person), refuses to go to therapy, and is basically a Berner who hates China. Other than that she’s pretty cool though.
America might be flawed but it’s still overall a force for good in the world.
Biden might suck but we should still vote for Democrats on the state or local levels and participate in the [nonexistent] primary to put pressure on Democrats because they are clearly better than Republicans and progressives would never lie to us (cough bernie cough fetterman cough AOC).
Communism is impossible because it goes against human nature.
China is capitalist.
Organizing for revolution in the USA is hopeless.
It’s impossible to scientifically understand human societies, even though humans are part of nature and nature can be scientifically understood.
We can solve all our problems with technology alone. There’s no need to change anything else.
Things will be better in the future even if I don’t actually do anything to make them better. (This one has been an issue for me. “The future” for a Marxist like myself isn’t terribly different from religious visions of paradise.)
I mean, it’s the most powerful empire ever to exist, one built on ongoing slavery and genocide. It’s difficult to find global problems that don’t lead back to the amerikkkan ruling class.
“Anyone who questions America’s might is insane! I am a normal person!”
You definitely know you’re winning when you’re constantly complaining about your opponent. You hate communists yet allow them to live in your brain rent-free. Interesting.
Have to wonder if all these stories about how “the military is fucking up” are just there to justify more funding (even though the military is actually fucking up).
“Okay, China built a jump gate to Alpha Centauri, and I’m currently working as a Bloodbag for Immortan Joe, but seriously, when are these tankies going to admit that communism and fascism are the same?”
Paper, the compass, printing, gunpowder. Cope, Nazi.
Not sure I blame them, given that Taiwan has been occupied by fascists for decades.
The resource-extractive petite bourgeoisie has a major problem with the national bourgeoisie that’s getting even richer by outsourcing everything to China. This is why there’s such a major contradiction between the liberals and fascists in the USA, why 1/6 happened, and why liberals and fascists view each other as illegitimate brainwashed playthings of foreign powers. I think the petite bourgeoisie and their labor aristocrat hangers-on are approaching a point where war is becoming their only option. In such a scenario, we wouldn’t just be dealing with the chud dipshits in the countryside with five hundred guns in their basements. We’d also have to deal with elements in the military who are at this moment wondering if they’re going to have to do a coup.
but the second it actually threatens the republic in any meaningful way without the go ahead of the ruling class and bourgeoisie…
You will recall that they did actually decide to start a civil war they couldn’t win when they saw that it was impossible for them to win the presidency.
Still, can you imagine if, the day after the election, it’s basically just Biden and a few third-party cranks? I stopped taking american elections seriously years ago, but having Biden at like 97% and even winning fucking Mississippi will look completely absurd to large numbers of people, even some libs perhaps.
The USA is 100% a fascist dictatorship from the perspective of working class BIPOC both within and without its borders. If you are rich and/or white and cisgender, it’s a representative democracy.
