america is a fucked up horrible place but there are far worse out there. there are child soldiers being fed cocaine in africa and south america and institutionally sponsored slavery in qatar and UAE. keep things in perspective my guy

If anything, it will move them right. Still more people in the middle than anywhere else.

Only if you skip the part where Italy, France, Switzerland, and Austria attack the Vatican first.

Only dumb Americans. I can’t think of a single socialist country in Western Europe. They are all market economies with varying levels of large social safety nets.

It would be great if all this actually moved the Democrats leftwards on economic issues. But I am not holding my breath.

Based on their various articles, I think they have labeled themselves. Socialism does seem to produce equality, just to the point where everyone (but good party members) are as fucked as the poorest people under capitalism.

Yeah, you’re right, chanting for the erasure of the one and only Jewish state isn’t anti-semitic at all, how silly of me.

What historical model are we using to determine socialism will help minority groups? Because I am seeing less than zero examples of socialism helping out anyone except those with power. We can use modern day examples or historical, but there is literally no precedent. In fact, precedents point to socialism leading to…

From the river to the sea is the same call Hamas makes when they talk about ending the lives of everyone in Israel.

Death toll wise, they are worse than Nazis. They are just better at marketing.

Adding what appears to be an almost entirely socialist staff for Splinter seems to have been effective. It is laughable as full socialism has literally never worked in practice and that every country an American references as a shining light of socialism is actually just a market economy with a bigger social safety…

But purposely excluding Jewish voices and calling for the destruction of Israel is! Glad we had this talk.

If the problem is capitalism, then how do you explain how racism and sexism exist in forms of government other than capitalism.

They looked at the failure of every fully socialist country and thought, hmm maybe this is a shit idea.

Why would anyone want to meet a group of people who advocate for a failed ideology? The only countries that are “shining examples of socialism” aren’t actually socialist. They are just regular old market economies with a larger social safety net. They don’t even describe themselves as socialist. Hell the PM of Denmark…

So Debbie and Donna were fired for nothing?

How are either of those incorrect?

That DSA vote on endorsing BDS was held during Shabbat, purposefully or accidentally excluding Jewish members who may have had a say. Also, the “from the river to the sea” chant is calling for the erasure of Israel. Glad you were able to showcase DSA’s obvious anti-semitism in this article.

Anybody espousing socialism deserves to be ridiculed and mocked.

Actual city and transportation planner here! Look, the thing about Atlanta is that downtown really isn’t the center of the region, and never will be - you only need to look at Buckhead to know that. “New Urbanism” isn’t really a city development tool, so to say that it “works in cities” is sort of a falsehood; it’s…
