This was a coordinated effort by Trot entryists.

I think most people here like to joke about icepicks, but remember that these people are genuinely enemies of the working class.

Paid vacation.

Always analyze DSA drama through the lens of downwardly-mobile professionals who care exclusively about ensuring they get paid by DSA instead of working for a living.

Hmmmmmm

Being sociable with your comrades and being a social club are two different things. No one who's joined a party because they wanted to have a good time has ever contributed to revolution.

Communist organizations should be composed of Communists, not people who want to hecking chill with their friends and post epic "organizing" memes.

I sincerely doubt there's a single person who joined a party because it seemed fun who became an actual Communist.

This is bullshit. She and you believe in nothing but securing Democratic Party staffer jobs for yourselves. You are a counter-revolutionary.

This is a result of trying to turn "Leftism" into a social club. None of this matters to any of these strivers.

I feel like you're being facetious, but the Earth is dying and reducing is the first of the three Rs for a reason. Being frivolous with goods and resources is 100% bourgeois behavior.

There would definitely be a change in prices lol. They track all of this to the cent. Just because there's price gouging doesn't mean the cost of goods is completely unrelated to operating costs.

You're right, the Capitalists should give up their wealth and their parasitic need for returns.

They won't.

Since that's the reality we inhabit, every time you make a return, you're jacking up the prices of your future purchases.

Tangentially: this is why I despise association with "consumers" as a class. The wealthiest and most comfortable people on Earth have banded together with one demand: "More cheap shit for us!" This, of course, translates in reality to "More machine guns for the child laborer guards! Worse conditions for workers! More dead miners!"

Sure. Maybe I picked the wrong example since this is a soldier, but I've seen this sentiment commonly applied to all Israeli society. And where do you draw the line? Most Americans end up supporting the mass slaughter of foreigners until they start seeing those sad little coffins with their sad little flags on the news, or until decades later when everyone has accepted that it was horrific and indefensible, and everyone pretends that they opposed it from the beginning.

And when push comes to shove and Americans have to choose between a world of equally distributed wealth where they have to do the real, unpleasant work that makes society possible (instead of four hours of meetings and four hours of emails), and one where a Fascist vanguard kills anyone that tries to change the status quo, I have absolutely zero doubt which choice they'll make.
