At least she’s wearing gloves!
In addition to Cowbee’s comment, the Prolewiki article on Socialism expands on it.
“Human nature” is formed by societal norms, which are in turn formed by the present mode of production and thus material reality. Humans aren’t racist by nature lmfao, such a dumb right wing assertion.
Simply put, materialism — as opposed to idealism — is the idea that everything we do and experience as a society (our history, culture, politics, etc) is shaped by the material reality around us, rather than ideas.
“Material analysis” in this case therefore means analysing politics and history through this lens. And it’s a fundamental component of socialism/marxism.

Yogthos is insulting liberals because liberalism is an idealist ideology that always eventually gives way to fascism when a capitalist state is (inevitably) in decay.

Elections will, however, gradually shift to the far-right as long as liberals/capitalists are in power (see: overton window).
Typical liberal rejecting any shift to the left in favour of fascists.
It’s great that the LFI managed to come this far even within a liberal framework, but real change has only ever come from organizing and applying pressure from outside the capitalist system to overthrow it. This should be a signal to french comrades to start organizing for that.
Calm down bro 😭 it’s a reasonable thing to point out when presented with “Our ability to destroy is the trait that has powered our rise”
Maybe could’ve done without the “The fuck are you on?” though I guess
Yes. After all, this would definitely harm BRICS countries and not the US.
Is it also “left wing” to bypass congress to send weapons to a genocidal state faster? Or denounce the ICC for actions against that state like in the post you’re commenting on?
Studen loan
Education Dept. announces highest federal student loan interest rate in more than a decade
It’s not as bad as the shitlibs on .world at least
Or on literature.cafe apparently?
? Of course there is opposition between the left and the right. What does that have to do with two right wing genocidal capitalist parties?
On brand for .world users to defend a fascist in these comments
“Trolling” is when you put a picture of someone with something that they agree with
Don’t worry, he completely agrees with the move as you’d expect.
Biden denounces ICC for ‘outrageous’ implication of equivalence between Israel and Hamas
The Biden administration on Monday forcefully denounced efforts by the International Criminal Court to seek arrest warrants for top Israeli officials and Hamas leaders, saying the court’s efforts put the terrorist organization and a top US ally on equivalent footing.
And why would it matter if it’s a rep or dem doing something specifically? They’re the two parties of capital and instruments of the capitalist class; one cannot exist without the other. It doesn’t matter which one specifically has been doing the most recent fascist shit.
Dems and reps are equally part of the ruling capitalist class and are the parties of capital. There is no real “opposition” between the two aside from optics.
And as you’d expect, Biden does of course agree with this move like another user mentioned.
Being pedantic and defending fascists is also very hot right now among shitlibs apparently
Replace the caption with any of the other shit biden specifically has done that they mentioned if you’re this much of a redditor
Shitlibs being pedantic and trying to defend fascists is always hilarious, even if expected
Very common actually
The UI is such a shame. Inkscape and Krita’s UI are so intuitive too
