Trump Inaugration Protests Outside of US

I've been invited to attend a protest against the Trump inauguration. But it's in Australia, where I live; not America, where I do not live. It seems absurd to protest here. The only way I can reconcile it is to say we should protest every broken presidency.

Just do it if you want to, fam. A little protesting never hurt anyone.

You're right. The time is right. I should stop being a NEET, and take to the street. Don't be a sook, leave your Book. Take one on the Chin, go on, Google him.

So, if Hillary was elected, everything would be fine and neoliberalism wouldn't take over, or something…

Welp… I guess it's all about the one person that is the president and not the lobbies and so on…

Yeah, I'll be sure to ask the Trots who are running it whether they'd protest a Hillary presidency.

Trots conveniently only protest against efforts to socialist, communist, and anti-imperialist states never bourgeoisie or imperialist ones. They are crypto-liberal.


This is going to be full of liberal plebs who think that the one person that gets elected is what matters and not the capitalist state itself. Like Trump is somehow worse then Obama and Hillary.

Just saying they're all the same is lazy though. I subscribe to the idea that small differences (and they are minute, I'm talking about actual policy) in presidencies have wider ripple effects. Trump getting rid of the EPA could be detrimental to our very existence. I agree that they're all neoiberalism, though.

I didn't say they are the same. The democrats are worse. They rig elections, foment wars, and then turn around and pretend to be progressive.

Since when did Republicans not do that and pretend they were progressing the world? Top kek

They do too, somewhat, but as you said small differences. Democrats with their identity politics and pretend leftism make it harder for a real leftist alternative to emerge. This is why Zizek preferred Trump

I think that's the one thing scaring me about his presidency.

On a related note, the day that porky convinced the proles that climate change is fake is the day that gave human society a cutoff time.

Tfw Alex Jones hindered the revolution and doomed us all

Republicans don't present themselves as the paragons of reasoned socialism. Neither Republicans nor Democrats will give you anything substantial that you want, but for the most part, you won't be competing with the Republicans over votes. They've got their binders fulla women and you've got yours.

Don't kid yourself, nobody was ever going to do anything meaningful to slow climate change. It was always about some minor feelgood measures that combined wouldn't make a bit of difference, and even those won't last once they start to inconvenience any significant part of the bourgeoisie directly.

I agree but it's still good to reduce the severity as much as possible. From most accounts I've heard, the measures to reduce carbon emissions (that were supposed to be met) were barely enough. But could potentially save millions of lives. We have one reality where 1 billion people may die, 3 billion or the entire species.

...

Let's just form vanguards bro haha

republicans do identity politics too you mong

I cannot imagine a more spectacular waste of time. This is the dumbest goddamned shit ever. They took an already futile exercise (standing around while holding signs) and managed to make it even more useless. It's incredible.

Instead of doing this, form a small insurrectionary cell and try and start a co-op

Reddit's too good for you

Come on mate.

...

...

...

The only reason they are protesting trump is because it's such a huge thing that small 'L' liberals are crying about. It allows them to get people who aren't really politically active out on the street and to introduce them to marxist politics lmao

Go, but take a clear communist symbol/flag/message and spread the word

...

...

...

Our board is full of artists. It's a joke.

Autists* lol

Ausfag here. I haven't heard of any protests, but if there are any, they're autistic fuckwits for doing so.

M-my post wasn't

probs bc you dont associate with trots

>the greens weren't a workers party
Correct


Wrong chess dimension m8

I've already seen some in Melbourne. I only know what happens there and here, Adelaide. Seeing as how we're hipster bougie liberal capitals, this may be why we protest Drumpf.

If you mean left renewal then a socialist faction does not make it a socialist party.

Left renewal is only weeks old so we'll see how things go. But don't get your hopes up mate. They're pretty much confined to the NSW greens (who were always the most left-wing) as far as I'm aware.

I guess we'll know after their Jan thing. I know someone who's going up here in Melbourne.

Not sure what else you'd mean by it being a worker's party.

Good tool, protest Trump, burn everything, destroy a lot of things

Make the left look like shitheads and make Trump look like a necessary evil

Good little tool :)

And why not?

I don't go on reddit though?

I just wanted to know why you think they're a pro worker party all of a sudden

They aren't, genius. Not yet.

Then why do you think they'll become one?

They won't.


Unless you infiltrate them.


On second thoughts,


You seem a little slow, maybe just forget it.

Maybe you should actually say what you mean rather than being smug cunt pretending to be intelligent.

Do you think anyone will really give you a straight up "No" answer honestly? I was in America the whole time, no one was really talking about protesting shit until it became clear that Trump could win and Hillary didn't have it in the bag.

Few people here actually want open borders under capitalism.

not my comrade

why do you fucks think you get any say in our politics you fucking aussie

counterrevolutionaries pls go

that's technically correct.

trump is the agent of revolution idiot

You essentially said socialists are not to solidarize themselves with each other because of national borders defined by imperialist powers. That's counter-revolutionary to the core. And Trump is only revolutionary if you believe in accelerationism or got lost and think this is Holla Forums. When we speak of revolution here, we are talking about the one and true revolution.

...

wouldn't it be a blow against porky if he succeeds in draining the swamp? I agree that he's not perfect by any stretch of the word, but unless you're going to snipe the fuckers yourself, these things will take time.

No, it wouldn't.
r/socialism please go

Cuban communist party endorsed her so I voted for her.
