Pessimistic “leftist” seen here not focusing on the real world but instead imagining maximum doom

You cannot convince me to take you seriously after that.

Just say you know nothing about prisons or prison abolition

This is social media, not a presidential debate stage. And all I started with was reassuring a fellow anarch communist that’s its okay to want nice things. Im done playing 20 questions.

You know that there are more than 5 ideologies right? You dont have to be straight to the corners of the compass or the very middle of enlightened centricism? I can hold a fairly anarchist position without leaving my ideal governance without power?

Taking up the existing state power in the course of the transition might be necessary, but it can still be done with far more human dignity than anyone is used to. Dismantling an armed force the size of the US military cant be done in a night anyway. Idk man. All the circumstances that go into answering this question mean that answering it today is impossible. I just think political leaders should care about people. Thats who ill put my support behind

I didnt oppose the socialism in the real world in the first place. I said i dont like some of them in the way they have behaved. They could behave differently, and then I would like them. They can reform and be better. But until they do, id rather not model other new things on them. And if a country gives kids free ice cream but shoots people every day, I can like that they give out free ice cream and hate the violence.

No I am not.

Well first of all, you dont need a Powerful state to have a prison. But you also dont need to use prisons, you can go for more of a rehabilitation center, I mean, most people need only a 2-6 week detox from hateful rhetoric to calm down a bit.

And the number 1 reason people turn to regressive talking points is because life is hard under capitalism. If you just make a loving social safety net built on compassion and human dignity, everyone lifted up will further calm down.

Im not saying we wont need to crack a few eggs to make the omelet, but I am saying that we should use as few as we can. And more importantly, needing to do so today doesnt mean we will need to continuously do so tomorrow and the next day.

Human dignity for every single person is at the heart of my politics. If a nation is not holding up to that, then we can dream better.

I know its tough out here. But im with you. We should not need to shrink our dreams of freedom because its hard.

I had a d&d one shot character named daemos monstra, he was an edge lord celestial warlock with a little unicorn familiar

Not to lib out on main, but the average American deserves to have their civilian homes destroyed just as little as the average civilian of any country.

Welcome to the left, we hate it here but its better than the alternatives. But you’re absolutely right. We all deserve to have a space to talk about left wing ideals without being called a lib for [INSERT ANY OPINION]

The question is could, not would.

It was probably a skill flex. “Look i can draw people from any angle and they only look a little weird”

We are heading into techno-fuedalism so capitalism is really fuedalism 2

Reminder that they contacted the world’s leading ancient Greek blacksmith to make costuming for the movie, he agreed, and then they ghosted him

His reach had more limits than he wanted

Shhh dont say such things, they’ll think you are trying to tear apart the left for the CIA

If that is the intent, then I fear the presentation is incomplete
