Aug 10, 2021·1 replymath fiftyThats a false equivalency and you know it lmao
You do not need to buy from these mega corporations in order to live your life. Why aren't these socialists/communist organizations funneling their resources into the community like local businessess and local health clinics?
Im not saying capitalism is good, im just saying these communist mfs on the internet are hypocrites. They talk all this s*** about these corporations while openly supporting them.
MFs wanna be revolutionaries without doing any work besides talking and being consumers like everyone else
Alright I'm on my comp now so I can type a longer response out
Trying to undermine corporate power by boycotting them is a completely useless/impotent strategy for a number of reasons IMO (can list these out if you want). The only exception to this is a scenario in which socialists reach critical mass and are capable of forcibly restricting mega corporations, at which point boycotts aren't necessary anyways
So with that in mind, in a society that is often incredibly rough and disheartening, I don't really fault the average working-class individual who is dissatisfied with late capitalism for using our society's conveniences
Like why should a guy pay double for a new dishwasher or stop using his smartphone just so Fox News won't call him a hypocrite lol. Your point only makes sense if these kind of strategies could actually shift the distribution of power
Or maybe your point is "if iPhones and Amazon are so widely-used doesn't this just prove the awesome innovative power of capitalism" or something. I think this fundamentally misunderstands where innovation, societal dependency on technology, etc. comes from which I can also expand on
Also socialists do the things you listed, it's called mutual aid and is a big part of socialist organizing

Would also add that your criticism only really applies to imperialist countries like America which is what I was alluding to with the Haiti comment

why does every thread on this topic devolve to this
no f***ing s*** China would have the highest emissions in the world considering how much production is outsourced there
people just want to pat themselves on the back and blame someone else instead of being part of a solution

Im not saying they have to go Amish im saying ive seen too many socialists/communists play into corporate marketing and tactics without funneling any of their resources into the commmunity
Instead of buying the new corporate products funnel that money into things that will help the community. I live in the most progressive state in the country and I've never seen anything like that even though i personally know a bunch of communists
Like I said the black panthers would set up HIV centers, food drives, and all sorts of s***
If there were more of that today instead of just complaining about it then I wouldn't have a problem
Im not saying communists need to remove themselves from society im saying they need to actually employ socialist ideals like giving to the community rather than just bigging up socialism just cause its not capitalism

Start working on creating Justice League Watchtower type mfs to float over each nation and alternate when we get to be on earth to slow down the inevitability that humans aren’t gonna be able to survive Earth’s conditions in less than a couple hundred years if that, and sooner if we make no changes to our current lifestyles

JodyCommunist China is the world's largest contributing country to CO2 emissions tho
Have you heard of this thing called "population size" and "per capita"?

We are f***ed, private corporations have no incentive to stop ruining the earth since everything revolves around profit
It's rly sad tbh

It's true, leftists should organize more, but let's not gloss over the fact that the US govt has done and will do everything to stop leftist organizations whether it's domestic or abroad, even if they're doing practical work that directly helps the community

Socialists been knew, capitalists been in denial and the further right you go the more you find people who still are in 2021.

Tell me why communist china is on par with US CO2 emissions
Could be that their population is about four times as big maybe? Idk
The West is bears the vast majority of the responsibility for global warming, shifting the blame to any third world country is really nothing but imperialist propaganda because the numbers so f***ing obviously show where emissions are coming from

You got the first two lines to a nice haiku there btw.
Aug 10, 2021Hi-CImagine just bootlicking endlessly and then throwing up some doomer mentality.
It’s like you recognize the flaws of capitalism and recognize it’s horrible and but then turn around and say “yeah well there’s nothing we can do and socialism doesn’t work” while completely disregarding the fact that it’s never actually been done correctly.
Just say you’re a conservative and keep it moving
