Do you tell girls/boys your power level?

My great grandfather was a member of the American Socialist party so my parents don't care. They just tell me that communism doesn't work blah blah but its not a big issue with them.

i always say people used the "human nature" argument to keep slavery around and then feudalism.

during slavery these were the same idiots who said "dude its human nature for some to be born as slaves and others as masters, its just like in their genetics"

it's one thing to be against their praxis, and another to be against organizing people

i've gotten that before talking to a dude i've known for 22 years now. "DUDE U SIT HERE AND TALK ABOUT THIS BUT NOTHING WILL CHANGE YOU WON'T DO SHIT SO WHY NOT JUST MAKE A BUNCH OF MONEY BY EXPLOITING PEOPLE AND SHUT UP BRO LOL"

turns out 99% of the people who use these sort of arguments are just literal fucking morons. he didn't even remotely understand that the system was destroying itself (rich getting rich poor getting poorer and collapse the more capitalism decays), didn't even remotely understand that in 500 years when machines are doing all the jobs a communist revolution or literal welfare slave state was inevitable. just thought "lol u communist sit and talk about this but why not do something productive and make lots of money lol"

I'm not, but when their method for organizing people is completely ineffective, it should be criticized and not defended.

90% of the ppl I socialize with are pro-freespeech soc dems and the other 10% are libertarian/ancap. I'm pretty welcomed so long as I say stuff like:
" The state kills more people than any other institution in history not only because of wars which destroys communities and in the modern era primarily targets the poor and the helpless, but also because capitalism as a system is created by state enforced private property rights which starves millions of children each year."
Basically just force everything into the lens of the utilitarian -even though I'm not- and sounding like an ad for some npo, or like dog food or some shit. The best defense is a strong offense.

yes mate, but their will to change the world shouldn't.

I'll never say the terms anarchism or communism but I'll describe exactly what they are. People will generally hear you out if you don't use terms that are widely misunderstood.

agreed. I am not some useless shit, i've helped out with the fight for 15 campaign here quite a bit.

I think my disillusionment is well founded. If you join one of these organizations you can see for yourself

another day, another struggle
