You lost me, sorry. I’ve seen what expectations bisexual women have of dating and sex, which are informed by having mostly dated men.

21·2 个月前DSA has everyone from social democrats to maoists in it, it is the biggest reformist socialist org and biggest revolutionary socialist org in the country, if you’re on the outside looking in though, the most visible stuff is the electoral work, which is dominated by the reformists.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Ex-fascists of lemmy, what made you escape the alt-right pipeline?
8·3 个月前Fascism is defined by the destruction of capital in non-military sectors, the dominance of some sectors of capital over others (beyond as laid out in imperialism to the point of contravening the typical form of the dictatorship of capital)and imperialist policies like forced labor being directed inward to compensate for a decline of empire.
Given that DPRK has industrialized throughout its history, has taken steps to shrink its military expenditures in comparison to the rest of the economy, has no dictatorship of capital within the country, doesn’t use slave labor and is a historically imperialized nation as opposed to a former imperial power, I do not see how you can define the DPRK as fascist.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•[Ethics] Why do people condemn Zoophilia on the basis of other animal's inability to consent but those same people kill animals without asking for their consent? Why such inconsistency?

The Psychological Impact of Slaughterhouse Employment: A Systematic Literature Review
Are you using the formal or informal definition of imperialism here? Because I don’t see how it meets the formal definition based on my understanding of the underlying economic mechanisms. For example, if they were engaging in imperialism why would Tibetan’s own their own homes instead of the land being taken over and the average peasant being proletarianized/forced into urban centers or large scale production agriculture to work?
Why would them taking over Tibet be expansionist? Tibet has been part of China for hundreds of years, only breaking off during instability caused by foreign imperialist powers.
A munch is just a social. People chat and stuff, kinky things don’t happen, and it is generally discouraged to use the space for cruising. Different munch dress codes vary from “be very normycore inconspicuous” to “be decent”

11·1 年前Really good book! A little bit inaccessible in the first two chapters though.
Jokes aside, a good start is to join a socialist org, participate, and start developing yourself politically. I believe cowbee has a good reading list.

4·1 年前“Pogrom” was coined in Russia and became well known largely because of the Russian Civil War.
Weird I distinctly remember reading about pogromists being one consideration for the bolsheviks in how to participate in the 2nd Duma and that was before the Civil War.

3·1 年前What if fucking over those specific capitalists is a greater win for the capitalist class worldwide?
And if Russia falls it strengthens your enemy at home. An independent shitty Russia is closer to proletarian revolution than a US dominated Russia, and that is what would happen if the US defeated Russia.
Also even if you believe that the democratically elected leadership of China are a new distinct class, they are empirically not capitalists and empirically not violent on anywhere close to a comparable scale to capitalist leadership. Their politics are that of mutual cooperation and advancement because 1a) they understand imperial extraction is economically inefficient in the long term 1b) have sufficient control over the state and economy to prevent it 2) they need strong allies to protect themselves from imperialist encirclement and imperial powers keep trying to weaken the rest of the world
(I don’t agree that the Chinese elected leadership constitute a new class, I’m just saying for the sake of talking to folks who do)
