That’s dumb. If you think the greens are just as bad as the Dems, then your brain is broken. PSL has ballot access in 17 states and they’re the only other leftists running a candidate. Green party has more ballot access in 37 states and holds a significantly higher chance of meaning anything. But maybe in another 3 or 4 election cycles the PSL will have the ballot access that the greens do now.
They are the leftist party available.
You’re citing a capitalist finance website to prove your point about socialism. You seem to be confused between social democracy and democratic socialism. I understand because they seem so similar that they must be basically the same thing, right? Nope.
The Nordic model is a form of social democracy. They take many of the benefits that socialism provides and builds them into a capitalist economy. Democratic socialism is an actual form of a worker owned an operated economy.
If you’re ever in doubt, ask the question, “who owns the means of production?” If the answer is huge megacorporations and wealthy billionaires, then it’s a capitalist economy. If the answer is the working class, it’s socialist.
Well I don’t see nearly as much ballot access from the PSL or any other minor party. Maybe we should make a new party that’ll lose popularity to the next one in 5 years. No party will ever be leftist enough for leftists in this country and that pretentious mindset will keep us weak forever.
I didn’t say that I did think that. What I do think is that leftists should leverage the biggest third party that’s the closest to representing their core values into the party that they want. It has nothing to do with Jill Stein and more to do with uniting under one generalized leftist party instead of constantly fracturing into weaker more specific parties.
It’s that kind of attitude that weakens the left. If every leftist were involved with the greens, we could create a truly revolutionary party.
It’s not cool that Americans are as dumb as crabs in this analogy. If every leftist just got behind the green party we might stand a chance. But everyone wants their own unique ideology represented.
Why can’t we just vote for the biggest leftist party with the most ballot access? Ya know, the green party
Beneath the surface of every great nation’s collapse is US Interference
I agree prison labor is just a roundabout way of getting away with slave labor and it shouldn’t be done. That being said, China has less slaves than the US and treats them half as badly.
The US has destroyed every socialist country in history that didn’t have a strong enough military to fight them off
None of those are socialist countries. They’re all capitalist
Russia devolved into capitalism. Funding a military is incredibly expensive and necessary when a communist country wants to exist in a world with the United States. This creates a militant economy that must be centrally governed to coordinate this military might. True democratic socialism is impossible as long as the United States exists as an imperialist force.
Weird because China is succeeding quite well.
I’m pretty sure Crimea wouldn’t like that deal.
This made me realize two things about Harry Potter. 1: why do the wizards not simply use magic AND guns? 2: oculus repairo is a stupid fucking spell. You’re telling me there’s a specific spell just for repairing glasses? That’s just bad writing.
So, obviously research this yourself and don’t listen to some dumbass on the Internet. As I understand it, there’s a difference between soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber is good for your cholesterol and blood sugar. Insoluble fiber is good for digestion. It’s very likely that any fiber gummies are gonna be soluble fiber. I take the metamucil capsules for insoluble and fiber gummies for soluble.
This has been my nerd rant.
I used to love that dude, too. I also used to go on Reddit though. Thankfully, I’ve outgrown both.
Infighting should definitely be avoided. So they should agree on a different candidate as a unified party
They use that argument because it’s valid and holds weight. The only other option besides bringing in a third party with ballot access is violent revolution and that was a lot cooler of an idea before drones existed.
