just curious
@Yapah, how do you feel towards the kurds?
also as someone who was poor and moved up the socioeconomic ladder, I'm a Marxist-Leninist. Socialism turned up to 10, I believe in things like direct democracy, ending war, workers owning the means of production, and freedom. Very scary stuff.
I've also seen the poor of this country be ripped apart by a rigged system, I've seen the opioid epidemic ravage entire cities and my hometown. I've seen friends beaten by cops and nazi's and I've seen brilliant people and those with bachelors degrees forced to work at starbucks and walmart.
Lets not forget we have the largest prison system in the world. I don't think you actually understand the science behind socialism. It's a material study and analytical framework of the history of people and society, it's a lifetime of learning new things every day. The history we all share is one that has few common threads throughout its entirety, one is class struggle. Racism, hate, divisive identity politics are all diversions in a schizophrenic and dystopian society run by greed
We now live in a post-scarcity world. Our apparent scarcity is self imposed by outdated and broken systems, eventually either that changes or things get bad due to class tension. History teaches us that time and time again.
