    Remove the dinosaurs. Where are the strong confident aggressive lefties at? We need more Bernies!

      Assassinated or in fear of being assassinated since the fbi, the organization explicitly built to assassinate communists, is still around.

            Not a lot of good outcomes from joining the Black Panthers, tbh. They even killed their own accountant on at least one occasion.

            A lot of people consider his death an assassination in part of the COINTELPRO operations between 1958 to 1971 at the height of the USA and USSR cold war, but it’s worth stating that the escalation to violence was due to one of the present BPP members firing a round while authorities had the apartment surrounded.

            Do you have any examples that aren’t over half a century ago?

              Never thought I’d find an actual white supremacist on lemmy operating so openly. Guess reddit really did spill over too much.

                Being against a specific militant group doesn’t make you a white supremacist. It doesn’t even make you white.

            You’re accusing a dead US Attorney General (cause of death unkown), who prosecuted Russian Mafia, of being a communist killed by the state?

            Could it be, I don’t know, maybe the Russian Mafia?

        Since day 1, in his 20s, he has been ahead of his time. Dinosaur means people who think the status quo in politics is gonna work. It won’t. Bernie is anything but a status quo guy.

        I have constantly thought this but I think we can see by his behavior he is not as addled as the other elderly. I wouldn’t mind shifting to AOC. She’s an actual representative of the country.
