Thats just money laundering

I sometimes make decorations for christmas out of sticks, pinecone, and other stuff I find. For Halloween my partner and I will carve a pumpkin. I think for us it has less to do with the holidays and more about bringing the nature if a season inside

I have parakeets. Its so over for me

No I am not a capitalist, I am working class. Any member of the working class calling themselves a capitalist is delusional. I exist within a capitalist system and therefore I engage with it or starve. Should I starve for my ideals and nothing more?

When I say all capitalist are right wingers I mean that because the economic structure is the basis of seperation in real politics. The left is socialist and the right is capitalist simple as. The only reason liberals believe they are on the left is because the US jailed and executed communist and anarchists while dismantling all of their party structures both in the US and outside of the US. You believe you are on the left because the ruling class succeeded in eliminating their only real opposition domestically. The Democratic party is left of the Republican party but it is still firmly on the right and always has been.

I'm not some white kid calling you a nazi. I'm not stupid enough to believe that's what you are. More than likely you are a person who sees all the problems in America and doesn't fall for the reactionary minority scapegoating of Republicans but has never been given a material basis for understanding political economy. There has never been a party that gave you material reasons for why things are the way that they are and how they can be fixed in concrete terms. The best Democrats offer is vague statements about how things will get better but also how things are already totally great, scapegoating a foreign power, or pointing out how awful their opponent is.

There are reasons for why America is in the state it is in, these reasons are known and understood. There are solutions that we know will work to fix these problems with our society that we have seen empirically proof for. You can learn the reasons for these problems, how we can solve them, and why the solutions work. It is not "too complex" you do not need a degree for it. You must only read.

This is what got me started. You don't need to watch it, but it changed my life and may help you understand my perspective. Yellow Parenti

Did I misunderstand it? He is claiming that in a perfect democracy the leader would eventually be an idiot because the people are idiots no?

I'm claiming that thats a stupid fucking way to view society and that it isn't even close to being reflective of our reality.

Yes, all capitalists are

The Dems definitely failed us friend. They ran a shit campaign and everyone knows it

Bernie is not a leftist

Country over party... I swear I have heard something similar somewhere

Yeah the people advocating for the end of a genocide and social healthcare are the hateful ones 💀

Slavery is legal in the form of prison labor
