I be zipping up the directory and uploading my save files to the internet

A useful distraction to prevent class warfare and protect their wealth with a convenient and reliable scapegoat designed to ensure a divided working class.

Surprised no one is saying Xen

I feel like the big question is who is doing the planning? Because if it’s the central government, not workers themselves, we’re fucked. Communism is bottom-up, not top down. There can be organizers and public servants but there cannot be executives.

Communism doesn’t mean a state-planned economy. There is no state under true communism.

Single ownership is centralized communism. Decentralized and multi-centralized communism exists. Correct me if this is a misunderstanding.

Recognizing the ROK’s past dictatorship doesn’t mean pretending they aren’t more democratic than the US. It isn’t black-and-white.

Edit: this isn’t about the article itself so much as an idea it gave me. Companies are refusing quotes for legal, not political, reasons. But they should be refusing for political reasons, something those of us in the US must start doing ourselves.

I’m obviously not happy it came to this. But, with the US being a genocidal, neofascist oligarchy, it’s entirely necessary. This is real, we are the resistance, and we need to start acting like it before we get disappeared. It is absolutely the duty of every country that values equality, liberty, and solidarity to implement a total blockade on the United States and seek maximum sanctions until the genocide in Gaza ends, until threats of US expansionism end, and until the people reject neofascism, whether in the midterms, in a coup, or in a revolution.

For those living in the US and allied countries, it is our moral imperative to sabotage and destroy all machinery in the US that is being used or soon will be used by fascists. Just be careful who you target and be sure you know why you’re targeting them. (Vandaling small Black businesses accomplished nothing. Targeting ICE will make you a hero.) Make evidence-based vandalism and sabotage your playbook to buy time for immigrants, trans people, Muslims, and Jews in your community by slowing the machinery of ethnic cleansing before it’s too late. (I worry it may already be too late.) See:

What the US is doing is based in an ideology of manifest destiny, liebensraum, expansionism, imperialism, and colonialism. See:

P.S. If you do anything, don’t tell me. Anyone can be a fed or a militant neofascist infiltrator.
