“I smoke weed but think you’re lazy if you make less money than me”

Probably racist but hides it

Obviously the system should be fixed and charity isn’t a solution, but wouldn’t it be cool if a wealthy person or organization or “company” just bought all these houses to solve homelessness?

Worthless

Even those leaders are just avatars of the shared humanity they lead and represent, they persist only as a creation of a shared culture and by permission of those people whether or everyone involved is cognizant of the fact.

The masses create everything, even those leaders because nothing exists in a vacuum

They’ll just say he’s the antichrist and that’s a good thing because they want to be raptured sooner rather than later

You literally can’t educate this person. They’re either an idiot or arguing in bad faith. Only one way to deal with them

Also the clown whose name is literally “proletarians must suffer”

Well documented Elon literally hasn’t done anything impressive. His whole thing is buying into other companies and claiming to be the inventor/founder.

America on all sides is woefully bad at bullshit detection. Anyone that constantly talks themselves up should be scrutinized relentlessly

Time and place

How the hell do Elon and other oligarchs feel so safe to call for a literal civil war? He thinks the other side cares more about fighting Joe Bob more than the billionaires? Such strange delusional behavior

I think the ultimate punishment for all oligarchs and fascists is to live with nothing but their own thoughts as a stimulus. They took the gift of their mind for granted and poisoned it with greed, misinfo and hate. Let them live in it

Look at them all lined up

I don’t disagree with this, but even in your statement they had overwhelming support of proletariat. There will be no vanguard if we don’t have an organized, unionized, proletariat. So I still think as it stands we’re just waiting around for a small group of people to do the revolution and just accept their conception. Which would be a bad idea, which is why I think workers need to realize aspects of this world that is worth fighting for right now

We need to normalize not just starting worker owned and run co-ops, but taking over businesses and converting them to these co-ops.

Federate the co-ops, establish a shared workforce (one co-op goes under/not enough business at x? Come work at y) and have them become actual workers councils

The Marxist critiques of this are not lost on me, co-ops are not immune to exploitation and fool proof by virtue of existing under capitalism but I think we need them for two reasons:

Sitting around and waiting for a revolution from a small group of people with one idea of how to run things is a bad idea

We need to practice what actual day to day life will look like. I think the experiences and connections made will far outweigh all of the bookclubs, protests and other purely political avenues of organizing

It doesn’t need to be all central planning and state owned, it doesn’t all have to be zaney pure communal experimentation right from the start …people could just literally experience going to work at a normal job but feel the agency of having a say in their workplace, not live in fear of an overbearing boss, decide their wages, always have a place in case their job implodes or they become redundant (bounce to co-op y).

Man I remember one of my friends got a flat panel about a decade ago and he is a huge movie buff, tons of old horror and sci fi VHS and DVDs. He would invite me to watch movies and it just always boggled my mind how fucking shitty and unwatchable the movies were.

It was years later when I realized it was that smooth motion garbage. I really do not understand how people can put up with how trash that feature is
