      A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies.

      Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?

      Two things result from this fact:

      1. Communism is already acknowledged by all European powers to be itself a power.

      2. It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Communism with a manifesto of the party itself.

      To this end, Communists of various nationalities have assembled in London and sketched the following manifesto, to be published in the English, French, German, Italian, Flemish and Danish languages.

    That little Nazi Bottom just admitted he wants to use the military against our own citizens.

    I hope his constituents tie him to the goalposts and leave him there all weekend.

      Are you hoping the military itself enforces that? Or the cops who already let ice murder people in the streets? Or what? McDonald’s employees?

        That is the bis American problem. You’ve got mostly good laws, but nobody seems to follow them anymore. A kind of anarchy, but from the top instead from the bottom.

          Laws anywhere apply only as far as they benefit the ruling class, be that class the capitalists or the workers. That’s the function of a state.

          No. No we do not. I mean for Hell’s sake we incarcerate way now individuals per capita than any other nation in the planet.

          Or so called justice system is fucking horseshit.

            I’m not talking about application. But the ideas behind them are OK. And I’m amazed that democracy is still not totally broken, despite the efforts of your current government and the spinelessness of the opposition.

              No.

              The ideas behind them involved slavery and genocide. Otherwise known as “colonial settler” behavior.

              We have always been the baddies.

              ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

            Yes, SCOTUS is a problem here. Having executive, legislation and jurisdiction trying to burn the state down is a real issue. I’m amazed that the US still has some recognizable democratic elements, despite all those attacks on it.

    Anything that doesn’t support perverted capitalism is now communism, by their definitions.

    The american citizens need communism. They are dying and need help. Regardless of what the giant capitalists think, communism is good. Democratic socialism is better. They are both mostly the same with regard to helping citizens and not businesses, even though words like “ideology” get in the way so everyone can keep debating while those giant capitalists continue to scrape away at your own bottom line.

    Political lesson for the day:

    Naziism is an establishment philosophy that is primarily/near exclusively devoted to anti-communism as a path to maximizing Oligarchist/Corporatist supremacism. Ethnic supremacist hate is just a populist veil to provide oligarchist power maximization. Nazis won ww2. Reagan shifted the US to open devotion to voodoo nazi economic theory. Trickle down economic theory as a “pro labour” facade to naziism, because giving everything to oligarchs will incentivize them to buy a blowjob from you plebs.

    The Nazi extremism of current GOP is far higher than 1930s Germany. It mixes Zionazi supremacist rule over Americans, and instead of targetting non-existant Marxism (labour supremacism) political force, they demonize any restraint to their fascism.

    Democracy permits the power to seize tratorous zionazi supremacist supporters assets (media, military, energy). Not under the pretext of marxism, but on the pretext of treasonous theft of prosperity and safety, in addition to national sustainability.
