True, free to die of preventable illness, starvation or exposure after being kicked out of the alley they were sleeping in for the 5th time in a month. No one is free under this economic system.

Do you have the same concern for the thousands of children being held indefinitely in prisons by Israel? Why don’t those hostages deserve release?

It was common rhetoric among the supporters at the time to hang the Democratic officials that were certifying the count and then Mike Pence when he didn’t go along with their plans, they had even built a makeshift gallows out front before the assault.

I’m saying it’s false to call yourself a ‘conservative’ if you align with the US conservative movement because it is a fascist movement.

There was a good reason, to stop the police and ICE from attacking people, that’s not why they were sent though. In the past the National Guard has been called in to stop local police, like during the end of segregation when local authorities opposed race-mixing in the 60s. But the purpose in this case is to escalate tensions and push the narrative of a ‘violent insurrection’.

Numerous people have been sent to the ER after being attacked by police, including a UK journalist who needed emergency surgery after his calf muscle was impaled by a 40mm ‘rubber bullet’. People have been shot by teargas and other munitions at close range and been trampled by horses from the LAPD. Many of the fires seen were started by flashbangs and other munitions used by the police. They also have 500 US Marines on standby, which is also only for the purpose of agitating people further and selling the unrest as an ‘invasion’ to his base.

It’s somewhat hyperbolic to say a lot on the right are actual nazis, but this dude is the most neo-Nazi motherfucker and deserves everything that should come to Nazis.

Yeah why incite a civil war, just ignore the invasion and let them win without resistance /s

Fascism isn’t conservative. ‘Conservatives’ in the US are mostly heartless white-supremacists hiding under the established parties to enact neo-nazi policies under the guise of ‘patriotism’ and civility.

Not trying to defend NG or any US troops, but those examples were from the LA police, not the national guard. Of all the worst direct violence I’ve seen so far from LA, National Guard haven’t been the ones attacking. From reports I’ve heard they are mostly standing around federal property because that’s all they have jurisdiction at.

They will block the pepperballs, rubber bullets might break them but most could withstand the hit better than your eyeball. It would lessen the injury from any projectiles they’re currently using, not actual bullets.

Fuck off, fuck the cops and fuck their nazi sympathizing defenders.

Well yeah it’s probably not actually useful right now for establishment dems to use it. Occupy Wall Street helped popularize the idea of the 99% vs the 1%, I think that sort of language is more useful for encouraging unity among the working class.

Like describing workers vs the owner class or something along those lines, there are many ways to explain marxist/socialist concepts with simple, easy to grasp language that isn’t stained with the connotations of ‘communism’ that many Americans are instinctively opposed to due to decades of red scare propaganda.

I think it would help teach people the term, and that could increase class consciousness among average people, which would probably cause more people to see both parties as the shams they are. If they used more explicit leftist language like that though it could trick some into thinking they are truly a left-wing party.

If you’re talking about actual ‘leftists’ on a true scale, not the center and right wing dems and reps, most support gun ownership for all of the proletariat. Democrats talk about qualifications for gun ownership or more restrictions but all the leftists I’ve personally known would agree with the maxim from Marx:

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary

From the Address of the Central Committee to the Communist League

I can’t wait to hear about some of these DOGE goons or Musk listed as dead.

Without the crucial steps the W Bush admin took, there would be no Trump. It’s not that Trump isn’t worse but they are part of the same fascist movement, just further developed.

Booker isn’t even stopping any vote. It might be better than absolutely nothing but this man is not going to save the people like this. He’s a Zionist, not progressive, in other countries would be a firmly right-wing politician.

What do you mean? You said she supports the terrorist state but she supports Palestine. It seems you were mistaken thinking she supports the terrorist IDF.

Yeah I already said IDF/Israel, what are you trying to say?

You are mistaken, she was supporting Palestine, not the IDF.
