I would unironically vote for a hardcore tankie Marxist over a Democrat. Marxists are correct that class is the biggest factor in a person's political leanings and behavior, that LGBTQI+P stuff is a distraction being waved about by oligarchs, and that lumpenproles (Democrats) work to keep oligarchs (also Democrats) in power.
The only part I disagree with is the money making part. I've never seen any evidence that online ads work. The only ways to make money I can see on the internet are shops, pay to post communities, services, games as a (somehow) paid service, and subscription based interactions.
Most VC stuff glows so bright you can see it from Mars, is a scam, or it's obviously someone paying to shut out competitors so they can control political discourse and rent seek in government sectors (in which case you're paying journalists and associated scum to restrain people while you rob them).
Ads are in my opinion a scam, and a money laundering operation. They make people money only in very limited circumstances where things would spread by word of mouth anyways.
I think they should reevaluate their goals and methods, and find another way to accomplish them. Most people would be very happy with something that is 80% Tankie Marxist, if it called itself something other than Marxism.There's a reason you can't vote for them. Ultimately they are victorious in an armed insurrection, or dead. They don't do elections.
I remember a controversy about this a few years ago.Facebook will happily sell you some evidence that online ads work! That's their only contribution to the evolution of the internet, after all, they had the presence of mind to know that marketing stooges only care about the commission check, and are just as happy to receive a fake report that makes the check clear as they would be actually selling something.
I think that's the whole world we're living in right now. The 19th century right is consuming itself as resources run thin, and the 19th century left is all either dead or Cuba, while no one has thought of a new idea yet.I think they should reevaluate their goals and methods, and find another way to accomplish them.

We have, actually. Populism and localism are more popular than nationalism, and more palatable to lefties as it lets them have their buttsex worship in their little enclaves. Basically let's all become the Swedish Confederation instead of Balkanization and civil war.I think that's the whole world we're living in right now.

AOC is popular because libtards are dumb enough to believe her shtick about being a bartender. She went to some sort of prep school as a kid, and her parents live in a mansion. Her boyfriend supposedly works for a startup and freelances as a marketing consultant on the side, but it's safe to say he's probably some oligarch or bureaucrat's spawn.It's not that simple.
Popular doesn't matter, because people who win elections will be compromised with just a little bit of money (look at AOC, for example). What's palatable to people who call themselves leftists doesn't matter either, because people who call themselves leftists are about a dozen strong in any particular place you might go to. What matters is a consistent narrative, a solid foundation, a coherent theory, whatever you want to call it. Something people can't readily spot the bullshit in which resonates with the masses.
Brexit and Trump were reactions by the working classes against their exploitation by oligarchs and both the email class bureaucrats and the lumpenprole criminals who depend on the oligarchs for status and resources.Brexit and Trump weren't it, because they are just reactionary backlashes. Reacting to a thing is not a plan to replace a thing. Reactionary "movements" always putter out for this reason, they have no definition of victory. If they accidentally defeat the thing they're reacting against, they find themselves with no plan for what to do tomorrow.
The only useful thing I've seen come out of Marxism is that people behave primarily in the interests of their class.Marx identified the conflict correctly, although he got the predicted outcome wrong. I think everyone forgets (or never really knew) that Marx was a journalist, not a political figure. In keeping with that station, Marx was making predictions more than he was selling a theory for political action. His predictions came true in some places but not others and eventually withered on the vine, but there wasn't a lot of meat there in terms of what to do when you've killed off all of the factory bosses. That's why the Soviet revolution eventually fell to Stalin when Lenin died. There wasn't a clear way forward and absent a plan, Trotsky wouldn't take power. The result was an empire built on a shit foundation with Stalin at the helm.
When colonists first arrived here, they had a hard time keeping them in the colonies. They would run off to the live with the Indians, because the Indians lived freer lives, had a less rigid class structure, and know how to actually farm and hunt here unlike the colony commanders who were laser focused on cash crops and gold. We had entire colonies disappear (Roanoke) and go native.America has also built an empire on top of a shit foundation, it just hasn't figured it out yet because it can finance the end game down the road with all of the money it amasses. America's initial founding philosophy of free land for motivated evangelicals, who could be excused for killing off the Natives and Spanish colonists because people are fallen from grace and would be forgiven later... that all missed the boat entirely. If god has to give you permission to kill the natives and Spanish colonists, he surely wouldn't do so just because you're greedy for a few more acres over the next hill. This is a philosophy for people who "don't read so good," which is doomed to fail as soon as the free stuff runs out (you are here, LOL).
A better explanation is that Revolutionary Marxism and liberalism are totalizing ideologies. They believe that they have all the answers/solutions, and they can't tolerate anyone anywhere believing or organizing themselves differently.But because Marx's predictions aren't terribly different from John Milton's ideas, and both of them are trapped in Hegel's mousetrap of progression toward some mythical "end of history" that probably doesn't exist, there's no room for a competing narrative. Their narratives cover the whole spectrum. One says capital concentrates wealth and power, the other agrees with the one, but says "at some point people won't make the Air Jordans anymore, they'll just kill the landlord and the factory boss."
I have more in common with Sunni Muslim Bangladeshi kids chained to a sweatshop table than I do with bureaucrats in Washington DC, oligarchs such as Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos, Twitter "commissars" whose parents are DC defense contractors, or a bunch of academics larping as a revolutionary vanguard while they drive busloads of feral lumpenproles to riot in the suburbs.The two together don't leave any wiggle room. If you want to kill the factory boss you're an extension of Marx. If you think the Bangladeshi kids can be forced to make the Air Jordans forever as long as you have enough tables to chain them to, you're the liberal bourgeoisie. To escape the cycle you've got to come up with some idea that isn't one of the others, which is hard to do considering you were born into the others regardless of which "side" you're on.
What I'm talking about is the Swedish Confederation, the oldest extant nation state.We've had what you're talking about before, it was the city-state era. It makes the bourgeoisie merchant class wealthy (because there's no self-sustaining location that doesn't need any imports), and makes middle-tier invading German "kings" look powerful (because merchants don't want to pay for armies, they want to pay for hookers and blow).
Dont, tankies still believe that cuba is doing everything right and their abject misery its just the work of us gringos meddling in, even tho cuba has no limits to trade with any other country but us. The fact that marxism destroyed what was a net exporter of foodstuff to the point its now a net importer with a huge swath of its population going chronically malnourished its irrelevant to them.I would unironically vote for a hardcore tankie Marxist over a Democrat. Marxists are correct that class is the biggest factor in a person's political leanings and behavior, that LGBTQI+P stuff is a distraction being waved about by oligarchs, and that lumpenproles (Democrats) work to keep oligarchs (also Democrats) in power.
I wish, what actually happened is that the normies brought their IRL retardness to the web. Social media its but a tool to showcase and embellish if not outright fabricate whatever stupid shit they are currently doingThey voluntarily became retarded online and many traded real life for a virtual one
You were online in 91? how old are you?In '91 if I said I was on the 'Internet' it would been met with 'Interwhat?' And then 'haha computer nerd'
In '96 those same kids were like 'ooooh can't wait to get home and get on AOL IM after school'
Please, the average normie its a walking CONSOOMER meme, they would outright hate living in a marxist state where you have to wait months if not years for a new pair of shoesI think they should reevaluate their goals and methods, and find another way to accomplish them.

But all the radlefts are the low IQ management.I'm not entirely sure how to phrase this in English; but there are established links between autism and mathematical ability, intelligence and depression, as well as creativity and breaking with tradition in the form of radical left wing views.
People who work in the tech industry likely have higher mathematical/coding skills than the layman and are also as a result more likely to be autistic or display traits like transgenderism, LGBTQX identities or mental illnesses.
People who have high skill levels are also more likely to be depressed and searching for a fix; be that in the form of religion, drugs or forcing other people to affirm you.
People who display creativity, as many tech founders have, are also far more likely to hold contempt for the the established way of doing things, and the left is always on a march to "progress" and change.
There's a bit more to it, and I think I'm fudging the wording as well but I think they are factors in themselves.
No, the history of the US is decline on the horizon as soon as the last bit of "free" land was given away. The only things that have prolonged the stasis before that decline are post-war profits in the 1920s and 1960s, and reckless amounts of credit beginning in the Reagan admin and continuing until the crashes of the early 2000s. Next stop is social unrest. None of this has anything to do with central committees or governments, because US governments at all levels are instruments of donor greed.The history of the USA is the history of the failure of centralized bureaucratic organizations - central banks, federal government, and state bureaucracies. In order for the American people to prosper, these things must be destroyed and their people deported from the USA forever.
I'm not against a preference for local governance, mind you, I just don't think that it's any more likely in the US than a tankie overthrow by people who are more concerned with misgendering than anything else in the world. The deck is too stacked against it, it's pointless to talk about outside of causing grief for the two major political parties who ignore local races to keep more consultant money for themselves.Say what you will about local governance, if the local magistrates fuck around it is very easy for them to find out. This is vastly superior to our current system of centralized bureaucratic control 3000 miles away in Washington DC, or centralized in a state capital in the middle of a favela.
A bourgeoise merchant class is desirable compared to our current crop of lumpen-bourgeoise bureaucratic parasites.
Donors do act as a class, but the people who implement the donors plans are a class in themselves - the bureaucrat/middleman class. They insert themselves into bottlenecks and rent-seek.No, the history of the US is decline on the horizon as soon as the last bit of "free" land was given away.

I'm referring to Maoists, Stalinists, Leninists, and hardcore old school Marxists.

How is rent-seekers having "their" land stolen by the locals and being lynched a bad thing lol?Not really, because eventually there's no more for rent-seekers to own and everyone else has no choice but to kill them all and burn their houses. Capitalism is a poor means of distributing resources. It just so happens that central committees are also a poor means of doing so as well.
When Bill Gates and Blackrock own all of the domestic farm land, there is no compromise that lets "muh free market" survive, and lets them keep it all. It has to be taken from them. This is the entirety of human history. Wealth is amassed until the more powerful neighbor notices it, and then kills the wealthy and takes it from them. It's really a testament to the naïveté of the children of boomers that they think the post-ww2 era was normal and sustainable. It wasn't. It was a particular set of circumstances that won't be repeated, because too many nations have nuclear weapons.
Hit the nail on the head. It's because leftists are stupid and easily manipulated. Rightists and centrists are stupid too, but the left is stupid to the point of committing terrorism on behalf of the ruling class.It's not just big tech. It's cooperations in general. Look at Activision Blizzard for example. They've been pandering to the far left for years and now you have one scandalous reveal after another. Employees are being sexually harassed (with one instance being so bad, that the victim committed suicide). Women earning and minorities earning less than others. Mothers having their milk stolen at work!
These people don't care about diversity, trans rights, black lives matter and so on. The only thing they care about is money. They use the rest to use it as a shield, when the truth gets revealed. It's so easy to make an Instagram post consisting out of a black block. But missing out on another yacht to keep 150 employees employed for longer? COME ON, MAN!
Its like the neocon who is a huge closeted fag so he's super against gay rights, its all a smokescreen so nobody will suspect he's a polesmoker, but sooner or later the cat will be out of the bag.It's not just big tech.

These people don't care about diversity, trans rights, black lives matter and so on. The only thing they care about is money. They preemptively use social topics as a shield, for when the actual truth gets revealed. It's so easy to make an Instagram post consisting out of a black block. But missing out on another yacht to keep 150 employees employed for longer? COME ON, MAN!
Its no secret that wokeism its the ideology of the 1%, plenty of studies show that. Due to the march on the institutions everyone with a college degree is either woke or woke-adjacent meaning that if you're a corporation they are your most profitable market, so you pander to them even if you dont actually fulfill any of your promises. If the economic pendulum went the other way and suddenly everyone upper middle class and above becomes right-wing then you'll see these corporations no longer pandering to the woke and instead pandering to the right.Hit the nail on the head. It's because leftists are stupid and easily manipulated. Rightists and centrists are stupid too, but the left is stupid to the point of committing terrorism on behalf of the ruling class.
