Hey, nobody serious said that one.
None of these have been done.
You've done nothing, and pretend it doesnt work.
Communists have successfully created socialist states through revolution. Throwing socialist states under the bus backfires.
This response doesnt even seem congruent with mine. Im not even sure what you;re responding to here.
He's responding to your nonsense.
I'm responding directly to your suggestion that we should abandon solidarity with socialist states, and that revolution has never worked.
Where?
A few people trying to try something doesnt mean they succeeded at trying said things.
I mean, here we are on lemmy where people insist on nonsensical revolutions and have hated the idea of working to change parties; the only pragmatic solution, for ever.
Calling me an asshole implicitly, after asking me to make your argument for you is actual asshole behaviour.
I don't think further conversation on this chain will be productive. Spouting irrelevant rhetoric with strenuous relations while completely neglecting any of the points I've made can only go so far.
Also, to call me a contrarian, while being unable to acknowledge that you have a severe marketing issue I think is a great microcosm of the attitudes here.
You feel that being angry and isolated enough will somehow spread change, forgetting that you're probably in the sub 1% in terms of groups of people, and haven't made a dent into the other 99%
