    She’s also making really based point in the statement she made, where she says that the current world is a result of centuries of colonialism, imperialism and oppression of people and planet.

    She further says that we should not aim to go back to ‘normal’ since normal is an extreme system with the sole purpose of reaching max profits on a short term basis, disregarding human rights.

    It seems she’s not just the talk anymore and actually switch to socialist rhetoric.

    I think the best way to convince Greta to join us is to suggest her to read about ecosocialism. Keep in mind that she has been doing climate activism since she was very young and maybe this kind of ideology fits her thinking better than a more “industrialist” and orthodox socialism.

    Having such a famous figure on our side could raise awareness among many young people in the West who are closer to green capitalism than to ecosocialism.

    This is what she said according to her twitter but she does seem to be heavily implying that radicalization is the way forward. This will hopefully radicalize more of her followers.

      Too bad she closes with an Orwell like statement. But still, monumentally better than being a puppet of the ruling class.

          I just hope that time does not involve her being slowly poisoned by all the ghouls surely trying to surround her and keep her contained in liberalism, or at least in anticommunist leftism.

          Kanye went from hating George W. Bush to…this…and I’m sure the hotep shit started with someone in his circle of trust.

        To be fair, she might feel “forced” to say that so people won’t accuse her of being a communist or that she won’t be stalked by intelligence services.

    I’m pretty sure she was always based. I have a sneaking suspicion her “put the to the wall” comment wasn’t as much of a “misunderstanding” as she claimed.

    MF was an ADHD icon for Lib me, since I’m really into environmental conservation. Its nice to see we both got radicalized into Communism.

        Dear comrade, I am a Mexican communist (Marxist-Leninist, not “commie”), who currently continues to live in Mexico, specifically in the misnamed “hot zone” territory that is heavily disputed by cartels. I am an environmental engineer, with studies and knowledge in software development; constantly confronting governments and armed groups for defending our rights to a more just and ecologically sustainable society, they literally slaughter us. I not only criticize society, I fight to change it, and any of the comrades here are welcome.

        Within the lemmygrad community I am an active collaborator of prolewiki in Spanish.

      For those downvote, it’s obvious it is a fake picture. What matters is the message it conveys.

      do you understand the meaning of meme? mmm…

        People have food, others do not. How is that Greta’s personal responsibility?

        Should we all die of hunger in solidarity?

        Isn’t the problem imperialism? That we keep those countries poor and in a state of chaos to better exploit their very profitable natural resources?

          More than anything, it is the representation of eco-capitalism made in the West that has turned this girl into a meme.

          God, you’re taking the picture too literally.
