My wife's a hopeless radlib, maybe demsoc. I am very open about my politics and she doesn't care for the most part. I have tried to convert her but she's got somelib hangups and can't accept the historical necessity of violence. so we mostly agree until i say some redacted-1 redacted-2 shit, then she just sighs and calls me crazy. love her

This is almost identical to my own relationship lol. I feel this combination of people is quite common for commies

I lean more syndicalist than traditional commie but the hubs is a demsoc and yeah, that's pretty much how our political conversations go when I get "too feisty" lol

The concept both of social violence and violent maintainance of the status quo through cops, imperialism, etc. are helpful. So is a simple trolley-problem framing. The revolutionary socialist does not like violence (or in any case shouldn't), but they see it as necessary for the purpose of stopping the violence that is continuously enacted by the ruling class. If cops were beating someone to death for shits and giggles, would it be wrong to brick them or wrong to not brick them and let their victim suffer and die?

Pretty much same boat atm, at least she’s much closer to a socdem but too embedded on lib talking points and beliefs (especially economical).

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
