    This kinda reminds me of that clip of Kyle Kulinski understanding why there was re-education in socialist countries. Ie: there’s literally nothing you can do about these evil motherfuckers. You can use the system and win elections and they’ll just turn to trying to blast a hole through your head.

    Honestly, re-education and prison is a mercy these demons should be thankful for. An animal might savage you or break some of your bones out of defense or ignorance, these people go straight to lethal over money and power. They /REASON/ you should be shot solely for their own benefit.

      It’s funny because “re-education” is always depicted as a scary and terrifying part of communism. They’re imagining they’re just fancy names for prison or torture camps. If they do actually involve education, it’s with maybe that eyeball opening thing from a Clockwork Orange, and other forms of spooky commie mind-control. It’s why the camps in China in Xinjiang were automatically scary before we even knew anything about them.

      “Re-education camps” are up there with “gulags” in that it automatically conjures an image of scary communism in the Western psyche.

        It’s like an echo of people who think universities are “liberal brainwashing machines” like, no. Learning about things makes you less afraid and violent towards them.

    Things are definitely going to be different this time you guys, just one more election, if we build up lots of socialist electoral power they aren’t going to just arrest and execute all the leftwingers like they have all over the world countless times since 1917, that can’t happen here because this place is special.

      Meh, you can’t stop trying either. Besides, with modern social media the way it is, making citizen disapear in the west isn’t as easy at it used to be. It needs to happen in Canada first tho, so that they herds in the US get used to the idea. Its a lot harder to keep the propaganda up when you can just cross the border and see with your own eyes that yes, free healthcare works.

            Scattered sects and armed individuals are weak no matter their weapons.

            Power comes from organized masses who are able and willing to use force.

          Alongside other avenues like labor organizing, tenant work and mutual aid.

          Elections are part of building class counciousness and showing the limits of the bourgeois state. The backlash to DSA’s (frankly moderate) success is part of that.

          If you want a revolutionary base to be organized, this is part of the route to that, even if it will get ugly and is full of contradictions

    They did all that and yet the socialists still attempt to change the world, almost like they rise from inherent contradictions within the system

    They’re getting lazy; instead of looking at that and thinking “look at all the ways we could play these factions off against each other”, they automatically resort to the most ham-fisted approach.

    Of the two ways you could read that tweet, of course she means it the evil way. I gotta say, between the recent wins, and the concomitant fascist screeching, I may link up with my local DSA.

    I mean… She’s right… Does she think the CIA should be killing more leftists?

    One Google search later

    She’s a Republican. Of course she does.

    I don’t know how these people’s brains operate. When they actually fully understand that the US are the actual bad guys, and yet still proudly support them and their brutality. Even knowing they personally benefit from it, I still can’t imagine how someone like this could sleep at night, just monstrous behaviour.
