You can read through this post. I’ve commented many times. I don’t feel the need to have the same conversation with multiple people who all share the same lack of motivation to do anything besides sit on the sidelines and jerk each other off about how their preferred method of governance would fix everything while they can’t even be bothered to do the most base civic duty to push for the change they allegedly want. Its fucking exhausting.
There are many like me. I also spent almost a decade in the military and you are not going to win a revolution without getting the backing of at least part of the government and last I checked there weren’t any Communists to back you up at the moment.
Among Marxists and Anarchists, the 2 most common umbrellas for anticapitalism by far, reformism is seen as a “solved question,” as in it doesn’t work outside of very extreme circumstances in Global South countries. The fact that you can recognize how millitarized the US state is, and think you can ask it nicely to leave, is cognitive dissonance.
I did not suggest that. I stated that if you refuse to accept the reality of the situation then no one will engage with you regardless of which title you choose to give yourself. That’s why the dems lost lol

Bold of you to think leftists believe voting to be the most base civic duty to push for change, and not organizing and revolution.
I am a leftist. As I’m sure you know there are many different creeds.
Reformist anticapitalists are in the extreme minority.

Oh you were in the military
How many nonwesterners did you murder, gestapo scum?

I’m not here to debate which type of leftist I am with you. This is just a tangent that serves no purpose for our discussion.
Sure, then we circle back to how you suggested it isn’t worth engaging with “commies” rhetorically, on account of them being “commies.”
