A lot of these are perfectly naive.
It, for example, assumes that mass media wasn’t being controlled beforehand (it always is) and that corporate power wasn’t being protected beforehand (it always is).
Fascism is not some aberration of the liberal nation state - it’s a built-in feature of it.
I live in a dumpster FIRE.
Fuck tolerance.
See? It’s that easy. No paradoxes required.
It is only a matter of time before pigs or some paramilitary pig-wannabes perpetrate a massacre of protestors in the US.
When (not if) they do, watch out… it will be open-season on anybody that’s marginalized or slightly left than Heinrich Himmler.
I sure hope you all are ready for this.
Yea but the charity has to be nice to you since they depend on volunteers.
How is this any different from the, “if you don’t like your job you can just leave” argument?
The presence of a safe word doesn’t exclude the existence of a hierarchy in the same way that “checks and balances” doesn’t make a hierarchy any less hierarchical.
it hasn’t been adopted country wide because the actual majority of people don’t want it
Your argument is as flat as month-old Coke. The vast majority of people EVERYWHERE did not want liberalism (or the capitalist pillaging and looting it apologized for) - it had to be forced onto people through brutal colonialist violence - yet here we are, aren’t we?
I see that you are just one of those people that thinks everything is tied to race.
I’m not the one that “tied” everything to race, Clyde - ask your “western” ancestors why THEY fetishistically “tied” everything to race to such a degree that their oh-so-precious “western” civilization is incapable of existing without it.
Saying a population is non homogeneous is not racist.
Clyde, defining “sameness” purely by RACE is white supremacist.
Which is why cities and municipalities have the freedom to adopt communist ideals.
They do? Since when?
The USA in total is far too large and diverse to make it work country wide.
Where is your proof of this?
neither culturally, politically, or geographically homogeneous.
You sound no different than the right-wingers pretending that “cultural (ie, racial, since right-wingers don’t actually have the foggiest clue what culture is) homogeneity” is what makes countries successful.
It would take an all powerful small ruling class forcing compliance in order to make it work on such a large scale.
Lol! Says who? You?
The US has Britain, which is essentially a US client state these days.
