Would be pretty funny for them to do that and then get couped by the former hardliner remnant party that did the 1991 coup (and is pro LGBT)

I've asked the Succ-Dem/ Anarcho-KHive types that very question, and their answer is "Mass murder is the official policy of both parties, but one of them wants to hurt us too (slightly more) and that's what really matters! We gave you fun uncle why can't you give up your unrealistic policy demands of no genocide!?"

Actually he kept several compaint letters, which as someone who has worked customer service I totally get.

I think the problem is that the LP is a meta class. Like how the working classes are not a monolithic bloc but include the proletariat, the peseantry, the artisans, the lowest strata of the PB etc, all with their own class relations.

The Lumpens are everyone from a beggar to someone who steals to live to the mafia to an opera singer or artist who relies on bourgeois donations rather than wages. Heck, there's an argument to be made that someone who runs an NGO is a kind of "Lumpenbourgoise"

All of these have the sense that the existence of the strata is dependant on the stability of the capitalist system and instability hurts them, but they have wildly different revolutionary potential

It's a common baby leftist failing. Think about how many supported the libyan colour revolt uncritically, or the white hats and us aligned militias in Syria. Manufactured consent is powerful.

Of course in both cases there there were active independent socialist militias, and it's hard not to have had an idealist desire to see the DCNS win. But we should have had better material analysis.

In Ukraine it's chuds vs open fascists with an increasingly strained liberal comedian facade and the poor bastards of the Donbass republics in the middle.

I sympathise with your friend, I dearly want to see Putin get the wall but this is clearly a US destabilisation and more critically the concept of a Banderan Fascist state on the border of the EU should terrify Liberals as well far more than any Russian hegemony over its historic sphere.

"Don't you understand! We only had 3 Dachas, a townhouse, and our main estate left!"

Yeah...Trumps foreign policy was incoherent, and this automatically better than Bidens, so make the pragmatic choice for the whole world

Want to point out this isn't even Jung's fault, it's some crank woman who fucked up his already shit theory.

Roma are pretty cool and I've had the pleasure of calling some friends...but while they have a culture I've not seen the active hostility towards homeless people in the way even centrist Euros see the Roma.

Like talk to a balding French accountant and in the middle of a dinner he'll say he saw a Roma family playing football in a nearby courtyard and suggest someone set their house on fire while they were distracted. And not as a joke, as a suggestion for a fun evening activity that had to be gently dissuaded.

Like shit you associate with straight up Nazis or the pre civil rights kkk coming from people you know vote centre left.

It's not better or worse...but...there's an aggressiveness there and I think with homelessnes it's more "I don't want to see them and don't care how" instead of "I care how and it involves bullets"

I really must insist we keep charts to classical Euclidean geometry.

Maybe Social Democracy isn't objectively the moderate wing of Fascism. Maybe Euros and Anglos just suck at not being fash.
