The scary part of this one is that previously, we had administrations that, while still being right-of-center (yes ML, I know), had at least enough sense to prop things up well enough to recover.
I’ll admit I haven’t cataloged all financial crises in American history, but I can’t think of any right-of-center administrations that have cleaned up a things for a recovery. Perhaps only exception might be the Oil Crisis under Carter, and the recovery under Reagan. Great depression, Black Monday, Great Recession, COVID recession, all happened under right-of-center Presidents and recovered under left-of-center Presidents.
What a stupid fucking thing to say. Socialism changes with nationality if you were half as capable as you delude yourself into thinking you are, the difference would be your catalyst.
No he’s right. There are no politicians with any real power in North America who are anywhere close to left. Dems are right and Reps are fascist. It’s right and super-right in the US. Canada isn’t doing any better.
The only reason dicksucking is usable as a pejorative is to draw on historic sexism and homophobia, and telling someone to suck your dick draws on that social trauma. Telling someone to give you a haircut, for example, is still a service but doesn’t have that social trauma to make it a pejorative, and thus it doesn’t hit like one.
It’s basically drawing on SA to be used as an insult. If you don’t think telling someone to suck your dick is drawing on historic bigotry towards groups that traditionally do that, then I’d like to know why you think it works as an insult.
I don’t have personal experience with SA, nor am I homophobic. I’m pansexual myself. It isn’t at all a false equivalence to say that there’s a real difference in insult between telling someone to give you a haircut and telling someone to suck your dick. They are both services, but the latter draws stigma from historical sexism and homophobia. Using dicksucking as an insult affirms that history of bigotry, when in reality we should be fighting the negative stigma surrounding sexuality from women and gay men.
So it sounds like you’re trying to say what people think socialism is changes from place to place. That’s generally true for most political concepts, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t an actual consistent and correct definition. Even in the west, the idea that socialism is just social programs isn’t an absolute, people are quite capable of understanding that it’s when public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy and the working class is control.
As for me, I am a Marxist-Leninist, sure. I don’t see what you mean by saying I’m “not a socialist, at best I’m a Marxist.” Marxism is historically the most significant branch of socialism, alongside anarchism, I don’t see how Marxism could be considered not socialist. I also don’t “defend dictators.”
.world How does this keep happening? Do they require proof of recent brain injuries to let people registeronly allow adult religious converts on that instance, or do they just only advertise on 4chan and Reddit?
Edit: Sorry comrade. Genuinely. The coffee and covfefe induced hyperbole got me doing microaggressions out here.
I agree with the sentiment, but I’d tone down the ableism.
Lemmy.world is trying to replicate Reddit, though, in culture. It took off during the API thing, rather than a subreddit banning like r/TheDeprogram or r/Chapotraphouse, r/GenZedong, etc.
If you’re talking about the political spectrum I would think the extreme far left would begin at anarchism and eventually graduate to socialism as you move farther right.
Anarchism and Marxism are generally not any more or less “left.” When I say the left begins at socialism, I mean to be considered left wing, you must be at least socialist.

You’re misreading them, the DNC is at most right of center. The left begins at socialism.

Go have your conversation in private if you don’t want public comments on it.
And wash up before you offer me your body, cupcake.
As I explained to you elsewhere:

What do you mean by saying “socialism changes with nationality?”

How does socialism “change” by “nationality?”

Some of us are normal…
Well, normal for lemmy standards
