  • When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?

  • toxic positivity/ negative peace aside, I would imagine that not being represented within the established political hegemony could foster some negative emotional response.

  • antiwork no longer means the abolition of the oppressive relationship with the capital owning class in which we sell our labor as a commodity.

    it's been completely co-opted as a place for milquetoast reform (capitalism will work if we put the right people in charge and call it socialism), and low-effort outrage-porn.

  • imagine a society not dependent on individual charity (with wealth expropriated from the working class) for improving material wellbeing.

    does a 'nice' king justify monarchy?

  • Managerial Feudalism Rule

    Jump

  • no. power centralized in the beaurocratic state apparatus is also oppressive. electoral politics are a sham, and democracy is impotent when the capital owning class can simply buy influence.

    if 9 people vote to kill the 10th, is that just?

  • Ask why the cops need this

    Jump

  • itt: those in the priveledged position to rely on the state for defense of self and community would rob others of the ability to enforce their bodily autonomy and community defense.

    'only the [fascist] cops should be armed' brain worms,

    enforcing the capital owning class' monopoly of violence (against ourselves),

    a negative peace at the expense of justice.

    you know-- bootlickers.

  • Using capitalism to reduce emissions

    Jump

  • your position presupposes that capitalism can serve to improve our collective wellbeing, when it is fundamentally an oppressive heirarchy enforced through violence.

    news flash: if you do not own capital, capitalism's essential function is not to improve your material condition, but that of the capital owning class.

  • Using capitalism to reduce emissions

    Jump

  • argument through analogy is a logical fallacy, I'm not going to engage that.

    you've yet to convince me that further entrenching capitalism (which requires scarcity to the extent that it will create it where there need be none, and demands endless quarterly growth within a limited system) is a solution to the environmental destruction to which it contributes.

    it seems to me as though you would like to eat your cake and have it too.

    private ownership of capital is a race to the bottom, leading inevitably to unsustainable extraction of natural resources. The latter won't be halted or reversed without abolishing the former.

    we need power to be distributed horizontally, not continue to be concentrated in fewer and fewer actors.

  • Using capitalism to reduce emissions

    Jump

  • the non profit industrial complex serves to launder the reputations of the ownership class without meaningfully addressing oppressive systems or threatening the status quo.

  • Landlords should have to pay income tax on their rental properties regardless of whether they're rented out or not.

    the practice you are claiming as essential to communism is just the result of authoritarians and self-proclaimed vanguardists placing party above people in a self-perpetuating class-based heirarchy antithetical to communism (see: Marxist/leninism under Stalin)

  • reactionary recuperation of revolutionary aesthetic-- shallow, reductive simulacrum of class analysis, stripped of systemic critique, intersectionality, and radical solidarity.

    conservative pandering. lame af.

  • We need a guillotine emoji.

    Jump

  • petitioning for a fucking emoji epitomizes the criticism that social media is a vehicle for diverting action into impotent dialogue.

    since we're on the subject

    retributive violence against individual actors is not the same as dismantling oppressive systems, and should not eclipse the important work of creating resilient communities and networks of mutual aid to replace those heirarchies.
