Elites also have a better understanding of the strategy for becoming and staying elite and they will teach their children to go on that path. Get education, save wealth, put it into owning businesses and screwing people over as needed on the way there.

Capitalism was not abolished over those years. Landlordism largely was, but otherwise there were just one-time corrective measures and some systems put into place to regulate the extremes. The underlying capitalist system developed in place and the corrective measures became less heavy-handed.

No, Zionists started this by being land-stealing settler colonists that put Palestinians into ghettos as part of an apartheid system. Decades of disposession, abuse, disablement, murder. Far, far higher numbers than you cite.

If you think that the equation is as simple as the number of dead women and children then you should be on the side of Palestine.

Some dogs are very reactive and no matter how good you are with them they are still a risk for biting. Sometimes they’re reactive due to earlier maltreatment, sometimes it’s something they were born with. Unlike with people, dogs don’t have the higher reasoning or communication skills to control a reactive tendency nor do they have mental health support options. And when the dog is large and strong, this is a very dangerous situation.

Distributions? Categories? Sorry we only have quantiles and mean averages on tap for the rest of eternity.

Hillary’s back, baby!

Misandry exists in non-systemic forms and the line of logic that says otherwise, in addition to being just plain incorrect, is easy for liberals to weaponize against us and against the concept of solidarity. I have seen this way of thinking used many times to split up groups rather than focusing on education and solidarity. It also runs contrary to several socialist analyses of this topic that are essentially dialectical where misogyny creates the basis for misandry, for example. This tweet is a good example of it. Patriarchal oppression creates (justified) disproportionate fear and distrust of men among non-men. Men must then also contend with being feared and distrusted.

And as you can see from “the discourse”, men are often not equipped with ways to constructively deal with this reality and go down the reactionary path that tells them it’s very unfair to them but without placing blame on the patriarchy itself - nor the underlying material basis for the patriarchy. It’s our job to provide our own, more correct understanding of what is happening that pipelines the people who could move in our direction and have solidarity with us.

To be clear, I’m not suggesting bending over backwards to chase those that often benefit from oppression. Sometimes people overcorrect and make their spaces crappy and tolerate reactionary sentiment to be “inclusive” (I’ve seen it!). But it’s self-limiting and counterrevolutionary to fail to educate and include those who do seek solidarity and working in our fight. We are much stronger together. Take the money from class traitors. Take the white people willing to put their bodies on the line for BLM. Take the Christians standing between Proud Boys and your Palestinian encampment. Or at least, try to educate them.

Those are all real they’re just far less common and are minor in comparison to their “complement”. They tend to be an internalized reaction to that complement even, of recognizing who primarily targets you and makes you unsafe.

They lack systemic power but that doesn’t change whether they exist as prejudices and in the ways we interact with one another.

There are also situations in which localized power structures for them do exist. Small groups like clubs or sports teams. Obviously a smaller impact but still real and still alienating.

Hexbear is doing a great job marketing them and by that I mean I’m gonna get some tomorrow

Gonna make a new party called Antiantideutsch-but-still-fuck-Germany

Oh no my imperialist monopoly how tragic

I object to this on the grounds that knowing things that make Anerikkkan failures less funny is revisionist.

JFC I’m sorry Argentinian comrades.

Both are a false consciousness that, as such, function to obscure class antagonism and support the capitalist order. They are a form of liberal following a slightly different set of high priests than the others, though obviously they are not separate. While many liberals laugh at, for example, Austrian School economists, they do so while incorporating the ideas from that school that fit the current canon. All it takes is laundering them through other economists.

A Marxist analysis will look at the material basis for these ideologies. They are basically the same as for liberalism - they reinforce a substantial portion of the ruling class’s interests. The obvious one is that when the ruling class is interested in cutting its own taxes or regulations, this ideology is very useful. Though it really goes much farther than this: both are cults of capital in the extreme, justifying all capitalist actions as inherently just and all transgressions against them as inherently unjust. Consequently, they can be leveraged for anything that capitalists want except for maybe government grift. If a capitalist lobbying group wants a policy change they can push a “right libertarian” that wants it, easily. If a capitalist lobbying group doesn’t want a policy that threatens their interests, they can fund, say, the Cato institute to tell you some bullshit about how it’s bad according to their economic religion. It’s not fundamentally different from how capitalists fund others members of the political class.

To the extent that it is different is that it is more extreme. It’s a wrecking ball that competes with the interests of other capitalists that benefit from various government policies. So long as there’s a “big government” means by which to increase profit, there will be a fight.

On the personal psychological level there is plenty to discuss but I think the false consciousness is the most important aspect. “Right libertarians” get to pretend to be an outsider political trend, even one opposed to the status quo, and openly recognize various problems in the capitalist system. For example, they get to be vaguely anti-war, at least rhetorically. And they usually try to wash their hands of the decisions made by Democrats and Republicans. Then they go and reinforce the dominant capitalist system. In this sense they are very similar to radlib socdems, just with a different aesthetic for what it means to be an “outsider”.

In my experience, if you can get a right libertarian to actually read socialist theory they can actually be pipelined. Nowhere near 100% rate but better than your average lib. They will be annoying the whole time, though.

Because they’re afraid to investigate the possibility that they are wrong

I assume they mean North America, South America, and Australia.

It’s a meme that’s not 100% true but is true in spirit.

Gonzalites fucked up hard by picking fights with the people who should have been their allies - both MLs and entire populations in the countryside. And by pick fights I mean launch wars at them, killing entire villages for being “collaborators” or revisionist. In addition to being horrible in itself, this was (obviously) counterproductive and they failed entirely in their mission.
