Thinking about how my whole childhood in the US I was told socialism inevitably led to mass death, secret police, voter suppression, food and supply shortages, massive lines, antisemitism, disease, lack of health care, job loss, oppression, etc.
But wouldn’t you know it

ELDER CARE NEEDS TO BE A FOCUS OF LEFTIST POLICIES. I WILL NOT DEBATE YOU. GOOD NIGHT.

the "black lives matter is led by white anarchists" lie was a real masterstroke, because now we're seeing people like the mayor of san francisco declare that they won't listen to white demands to defund the police, and will instead follow the advice of woke foreclosure lawyers

URGENT: Black trans woman in New York City needs somewhere to stay as she finds more permanent housing, preferably in Harlem / Washington Heights area.
FTG is providing her w/ money, but we also need leads.
Please share and respond below or DM if you have leads.

SPREAD THIS FAR AND WIDE.
Trump is talking directly to white-identity, apocalyptic evangelicals and telling them he's fighting an End Times-style holy war.
He's calling on them to join him in the violence.
PLEASE. Tell people about this.
I'm going to provide some history of Neo-Confederate, white-identity, apocalyptic evangelicalism, what I call the Cult of the Shining City.
This is who Donald Trump was messaging yesterday with his bible stunt.

Simply think about it tactically - think of how often this would backfire to the extreme and lead to routed police, mass destruction and bigger, more spectacular protests. Police don't often PLAN to escalate. Police officers just can't help themselves. Police culture escalates.

Undercovers surveilling militants = real
Undercovers planted in protests = real
Undercovers encouraging illegal activity in groups to make a case = real
Undercover "agent provocateurs" actually attacking property to "incite a riot" to make demonstrators more arrestable = NOT real

Whiteness is a social relation based on property. When white people defend private property they are defending whiteness. The violence of capitalism is the violence of whiteness

For those who are interested in research-based solutions to stop police violence, here’s what you need to know - based on the facts and data. A thread. (1/x)

Boy you’d think a country that can equip every cop like a soldier could equip every doctor like a doctor

If my stance wasn’t obvious. This is a message to the LGBT+ community, especially white members: us being queer does NOT erase our white privilege. Recognize and use that privilege to support the black community, now and forever #BlackLivesMatter #acab

Best of 2019 : “The government won't tell you that they are fascists, but they will tell you that anti-fascists are their enemies."

This is a real contribution to Marxism by @ramsincanon. Doesn't matter if you agree with all the conclusions, or if I do. What matters is: this is what Marxism actually looks like as a methodology, applied to right now.
