Lessons from a road trip down Route 1917

I don't know of anyone off the internet at this point who actually likes him. I've heard casual "no violence! violence is not the answer!" libs venting their frustration about how they just want to assassinate him at this point before he causes more global conflict and economic calamity.

It isn't about him being a retard, it is just so depressing to think about the people who are in even more desperate circumstances that won't ever be able to escape CIA caused destitution. This is about making sure people aren't reductionist towards problems that solely exist because of US foreign policy. Many issues that the aut right is concerned with are based upon US foreign policy. Immigration from Americas caused by CIA actions, Immigration from Middle East caused by wars, terrorism as a result of the Petrodollar, terrorism as a result of the drone civilian killings. There is no more effective answer to these problems than foreign policy.

The Government is already running at a deficit when the Reagan tax cuts where pushed through federal revenue shrank then came a recession. This isn't even good for porkies since deficits and public debt (which america has an insane amount of) are a drag on the economy, hoovering up investable capital and putting upward pressure on interest rates. Why in the fuck did he think this was a good idea? In the long term this amounts to shooting yourself in the dick.

"Fuck you, I got mine" "Unemployment, surveillance and tenant's rights are basic working class issues and wanting to defund the roads is the memiest ancap meme there is, but I care about none of them"
I wonder what socialism can be built when you think like fucking ancaps lmao

Point them out to me then. It shouldn't be difficult.
The mods know I'm right, my friend. You should visit the reading thread and actually bone up on socialist literature before you make a fool of yourself in public. I recommend reading Marx.
People's suffering is a commodity nowadays and guilting people into spending money on something that can't fix the issues of society that lead to poverty is not an "ancap" point of view. Read Zizek.
You should finish your sentences before you hit post. Read Poole.(Don't speak on behalf of the mods.)

We need a neo-abolitionist movement I wonder why it is Lincoln and a handful of celebrity historical figures get credit for the abolition of slavery, like they just handed it to us. In reality hundreds of thousands of people died in a horrific war that could easily have been stopped short of total emancipation by a peace deal. It was the abolitionist movement that demanded and achieved total emancipation.

marx's writing on the american civil war (he supported the union to crush the slave-owning planter class) is some of his most interesting writing IMHO.
also august willich, a leader of the communist league with marx and 1848 veteran, became a union general and formed an all-german regiment, the 9th ohio infantry ("die neuner").

Top Marine general: 'There's a war coming'
"The commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Robert Neller, told troops Thursday that "there's a war coming" and urged them to be prepared.
At least 10,000 people were killed in the Chinese army's crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Beijing's Tiananmen Square in June 1989, according to a newly released British diplomatic cable that recounts the bloodshed in gruesome detail.
The document, made public more than 28 years after the event, describes injured girls being bayoneted, bodies being ground up by armoured vehicles and human remains being flushed into the sewers.
"Minimum estimate of civilian dead 10,000," the then British ambassador Alan Donald said in the secret telegram to London seen by AFP at Britain's National Archives.
Once the soldiers arrived in Tiananmen Square, "students understood they were given one hour to leave square but after five minutes APCs attacked," Donald wrote.
"Students linked arms but were mown down including soldiers. APCs then ran over bodies time and time again to make 'pie' and remains collected by bulldozer. Remains incinerated and then hosed down drains."
"Four wounded girl students begged for their lives but were bayoneted," Donald said, adding: "Army ambulances who attempted to give aid were shot up.
Donald said the atrocities were committed by the 27th Army, who he described as "60 percent illiterate and are called primitives".
He said the crackdown had created deep rifts within the military and that "some members of the State Council considered that civil war was imminent".
The British ambassador's report was "not particularly astonishing considering how crowded it was in Beijing, the number of people mobilised" against the Chinese government, said Cabestan, who was in the Chinese capital in the days leading up to the crackdown.
One holy mother fuckity cunting fuck that is barbaric.
Secondly, Yeah, there were real worries about a PLA coup to overthrow Deng and his whole cadre during the events…

Nice spooks nigga, I ain’t “The US”, no one called my ass up when they invaded Iraq. Those immigrants are fucking scabs, I don’t feel sorry that Trump is doing this to them. You’re all quick to hold all the US proles responsible for what the government does even when barely any of the vote.
Robert Richardson
You dumb af and completely fucking ignorant as to why the North abolished slavery. It want because “it was bad”, the north had fucking slaves years AFTER the civil war ended. That’s how much they loathed slavery ayyyy lmao. The North abolished slavery because it undermined their factory wage labor system. No factory owner is going to pay white proles when they could just beguiled factories manned by slaves in the the South. Also there would have been no homesteads. No white person would have been able to “make their own way” of all the homesteads in the West are scooped up by slave owners.
