Well, the people of Mexico are seizing SOMETHING, comrades, and its not the means of production…

Pointless. A super market doesn't store more food than what is usually bought within two or three days. Socialism in one country isn't the dumbest idea. The dumbest idea is socialism in one moment, with capitalism before and after. Real socialism will have an electronic labour-voucher system for consumption and looting will be penalized. It won't be ever-flowing free access hippie utopia except for media and software.

I thought Trots couldn't be possibly more useless shitheads and then you post this.

It's all fun and laughs untill the fuzz delivers the tear gas and water cannons, tbh.

What kind of casual would steal a 24 inch screen

24 inch is much easier to carry. you obviously have not looted anything in your entire life except the economy you pork

wtf. I didn't expect a trot to believe in this.

There's nothing wrong with riots as long is to destroy banks and other useless corporations such as: insurance companies, stock market exchange i.e.

...

That ain't a Trot. Probably an anarkid who flagged up for some Spartposting and forgot to change it back.

Pure ideology

EZLN pls take over

If you're a serious leftist and believe that capitalism is theft and exploitation, then it follows that everything on the shelves is already stolen from the populace and society and that rioting and seizure of products off the shelves is already justified whether or not it's ideologically motivated.

If it's a question of if this is effective towards advancing socialism, then no, it's not.

...

lol it's like you're a parody of a dumbass sheltered white suburbanite pseudo leftist

You really triggered them

CIA pls go. The state isn't omnipotent no matter how much you want us to believe it

This is the power of ideology

I see no problems.

nice try porky

all me btw

I literally just found out about this guy a few minutes ago, its like trump fused with jeremy corbyn and also mexican.
The mexican elites seem more scarred of him than trump

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrés_Manuel_López_Obrador

miamiherald.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/andres-oppenheimer/article82535167.html

The rest of south america seems moving right wing, its possible mexico will become more left wing, but i imagine mexican politics is insanely corrupt, hope this guy wins anyways just for a more lulzier world.

Obrador has some dirt on him plus he is a socdem, but i feel he might be able to do one or two things right, like a proper reform regarding drugs and welfare

I am actually a trot, I even sell papers irl, I just happen to think that riots are exciting. I don't necessarily think they have any practical value.

Wew lad

...

OP here.

Those are me. Try not to think that everyone who disagrees with you is the same person.

Gas prices in Mexico were already super high, like California high. Mexican government is also privatizing their oil.

...

Although I understand the sentiment, I live in California myself… when you say CA gas prices I hear: "Normal price"

Now try paying those prices with a Mexican income.

...

...

Im not doubting gas is expensive in Mexico…
But what the fuck am I doing wrong? according to some quick googling, gas in mexico is only… ~$0.70 USD per gallon?

Price per liter, not gallon

$2.65 per gallon USD.
Not impressed.

"riot" should word-filter to "horizontal redistribution"

Actually, change 'riot' to 'loot' and this is 200% accurate

That kid missed.

Socialism, Coming Soon in a ballot near you!

No, this riot was created by capitalism.

You silly goose.

I see nothing wrong with this.

THIS

Class resentment is a product of the Cult of Envy that is Socialist "Thought". Read Mises.

Read Marx

Aprovechamiento de los medios de producción = / = Aprovechamiento de lo producido

Seizing the means of production =/= Seizing what is produced

No. How the fuck is the action axiom apriori? It isn't, it's synthetic aposteriori and Mises is autistic for thinking his writings could be of any value without empirical verification.

Nah no thank you

RIOTERS AND LOOTERS ARE FALSE FLAG PROVOCATEUR AGENTS

It's the oldest trick in the book for the government to have an excuse to repress people violently.

This isn't the London or Vancouver riots. The Mexican government has never been afraid of massacring the people.

Here's an example
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Iguala_mass_kidnapping

Shit's gonna get real ugly.

That's when the real fun starts

Kek.

Bookchin and Apo would agree completely with that statement, but that's because they think "civilization" is contrary to "society" and democracy.

You're an idiot. The protests were caused by the de-regulation of the energy initiative. I've told all of you shits before, Mexicans work the most hours in the world on average for very very little payment, they are charged a lot for electricity, their currency has fallen double in a few years in relation to the USD (20 pesos per dollar) and now this neo-liberal shit where gas is being sold to foreign corporatist hands!

The police is false-flagging by the way as a way to unleash for "justifiably" and fuck those lumpens using the opportunity to to sack stores and tarnish the reputation and legitimacy of the protests.

I cannot believe the yanks here know this little about their southern neighbor.

This shit ain't even making headlines over here.

You read the headline of an article on reddit and that is the only thing you know about what's happening in Mexico, yet you feel confident enough to make this smart ass response.
