If you’re anti-capitalist, Republicans and Democrats are the same. And they criticize both, but…

I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice

I realize their perspective is purely economic issues. However, it completely overlooks the vast difference on social issues and the fact that MAGA wants to institute a more harsh form of capitalism, plus theocratic dictatorship. Seems like a worthy distinction to me. Plus, that doesn’t explain why they’re so hot to criticize people like Biden and Elizabeth Warren or Hillary Clinton but don’t say jack shit about the various Trump supporting clowns prominent in US politics.

Yes, thanks for the MLK quote but not sure why you thought I needed to read that again right now.

I don’t need you to read it, I need you to understand it. MLK was writing about people like Biden, Hillary and Warren, who are more concerned with rules and order than justice. Trump and MAGA are the KKK. We know what they are.

Yeah, the socially liberal lite socialists are the problem, not the conservative MAGA ghouls that want to enslave women and children… smh 🤦‍♀️

The problem is liberals attacking tankies, who they need to work with to counter the fascism of Trump and conservatives. I want liberals and leftists to work together, but some are so hellbent on purity tests that they fail to see the big picture. Anarchists and Marxists Leninists should know that to ultimately defeat fascism, you have to dismantle capitalism.

I'm not allying with people defending Russia's persecution of the LGBT and Russian imperialism. I don't want to replace an imperialism with another imperialism with an exotic taste.

Didn’t realize the tankies were about to invade America. TIL

You're gaslighting. Nobody said or implied that.

Your new tactic is pretty lame. Not sure what you nazbols are trying to accomplish by being dumb on purpose.

Tankies, nazbols. What’s next, PatSocs? Or are we going 19th Century? Can I be a Rapscallion?
