Edit: There are lots of different answers:

Yes.

unequivocally a good thing. … Whether it is realistic is another question.

I’m not really sure how much of an effect that would be

Not really.

I suppose this is a good thing, because since there is undecided territory, that means an answer can be formulated. It is best to think tactically. Ultimately, material conditions have first to be met, and the population doesn’t seem to want it outside of small groups. Secession should not be pursued before there is a solid grasp of Marxism-Leninism by the general population and sufficent progress toward a worker’s revolution, if at all.

EDIT: I meant the plurality of different answers on this is a good thing, not secession.

Thanks for your analysis. I will take that into account. In this case, I will educate and organize around socialist causes foremost, and leave alone secession.

suburban american kids

The American suburbs are the most damaging part to any Marxist-Leninist movement. A suburban house is essentially a little isolation box where class struggle is far away and U.S. propaganda is up close working its magic. Usually the life in the 'burbs would be:

1. Wake up, get ready
2. Watch the morning news (U.S. propaganda)
3. Get ready to go to school, where people will only learn about what they are told
4. Watch the evening news (U.S. prop)
5. Go to bed

Anything connecting people to real, material struggle comes like an unwelcome guest. This is the America so many people want to preserve against all odds.

“has corrupted America” is a massive talking point and a huge pain in the ass.

Imperialists being imperialists as usual. I wish the USA would break up.

I did tons of food boxes and got three or so people reading ProleWiki

I dunno. It probably doesn’t matter, only that the reason for their villainy is established well. Such as a snarky kid who grows up to be an imperialist warmonger. I also particularly like Lovecraftian forces that are not directly fought, but only hinted at. Also also are villains that resemble horrible people in real life, like a hateful dictator resembling Hitler, or a money-hungry industrialist resembling Rockefeller or Henry Ford.

I was an “Anarcho-Capitalist” one time. The main thing was that, in bigoted opinions, I didn’t necessarily agree with them, but didn’t see them as a problem. The main channel was PragerU, and I specifically watched the video talking about public schools being misandrist because I was a school kid, and I was learning about all these topics that I couldn’t do anything about.

Really, I had an… Obamanist (since it wasn’t left-wing, but not right-wing in the usual way, I considered it from the president at the time) education where there was this deal of teaching kids about “cognitive bias”. I don’t exactly know how to define how it was taught; the teacher would announce that the class would be doing something, or completing a project, and it was these quanta that I learned about most things. Altho it seemed reasonable in hindsight, and altho minorities suffer greatly under the United States, I was just a schoolkid, and it felt like I was being called to do something that I couldn’t do. It had a lot to do with the subconscious, an idea that greatly upset me, because I was only a kid. The whole idea of the subconscious felt belittling, self-contradictory, complicated, confusing, and it was an enormous factor in an education that was just imposed on me, with grades for doing it right. I learned about the “pink tax” and the wage gap, and while these ideas were certainly correct and needed to be solved, I was just a kid and felt helpless at these grown-up problems leveled at me. It was like I was told to solve a problem that I couldn’t solve, or that I was brainwashed. So when I was told that this was a bad idea, I naturally latched on to PragerU with their video about schools mistreating boys, and then Carl Benjamin, Armored Skeptic, TL-Deer, the works.

School was still hell. I eventually got out of it due to, funnily enough, researching Anarchism on Wikipedia after an economics simulation. It is a very long story, a complicated story, a traumatic story (maybe, I suppose others have it way worse), and one that I have still to dig up. Maybe I shouldn’t even post this because this has a lot to do with my childhood, and it might be out of context and misremembered.

I bet she’s pro AfD

Yeah, that too.

Also, if cars stopped being made due to their lack of demand, the business would close up, and the capitalists who run that particular industry would have to find new labor to exploit.

You are a crank

This guy knows what’s up

I’m glad to mod us_news

Nice work

• The World Economic Forum
• The World Bank Group

Secondly they sell paid tiers, starting at 5$ per month for 150 messages which is… absolutely nothing.

Yeah this is incredibly sus

For me, thinking about life after the revolution cheers me up.

This is one of the many reasons why I don’t use Reddit anymore.

I’ve seen posters of the GOP as the “G☭P”. Ofc for the party that also calls Dems “socialist” because they want the government to intervene in the economy.

This is gunboat diplomacy ripped from the age of empires and dragged, screaming, into a world that has outgrown it.

Gunboat diplomacy never went away, its perpetrators just used other justifications for the same thing. Fighting communism (Korea, Vietnam) and terrorism (Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen), claiming that countries are “dictatorships” and have to be liberated (Iraq, Libya, Cuba), using mercenary groups like the Contras (Nicaragua), having presidents do it and then meekly apologize (W. Bush, Obama), claiming that countries are developing nuclear weapons (Iraq, Iran) have all happened, and I consider it identical to gunboat diplomacy. The tactics are almost entirely identical (invasion, overthrow, installing dictatorships), and its causes are the same (resources to be delivered to Imperial countries).

There is however obvious evidence of these excuses being more and more flimsy, and history being rewritten. That is from the desparation of Capitalism in decay.
