Ah, I sit corrected, my apologies to /u/@TheGuyTM3@lemmy.ml

The correct pronoun is the preferred pronoun.

This made my day, as I sip my cuppa!

Does “libertarian” where you are actually mean libertarian or is it like US “libertarian?”

I thought I remembered something weird but still that was gruesome. If execution must be done, quickly and humanely, but I’m generally opposed to the death penalty.

Can you point me to some links regarding why he was not great?

No one is here to cater to you.

That’s what I get even when posting while still being sleepy.

Well I’m good with immediate nationalization of top companies, and cutting away bourgeois rule, too. I was offering a gentler transition, but now that I am thinking about Trotsky, that’s a poorly thought idea.

It seems the problem is most people can’t begin to imagine what actually existing socialism looks like from the inside, without suspending their belief in generations of propaganda fed to us for several generations by our own states, and while we may be able to imagine how to work differently within the framework we have, can’t imagine discarding that framework without something better to replace it. We can imagine bending the framework, but not building a different one before or during the process.

I wouldn’t be surprised if most people imagine a socialist replacement looking a lot like what DOGE did, but here’s a thing: we already have a blueprint for reimagining the existing framework ala New Deal, while we can also work toward building and implementing a new framework based on blueprints from AES states. Nobody is talking about taking a chainsaw to the current framework on day one.

Maybe what I’m saying isn’t realistic, either but I’m open to having it picked apart.

Lol

And Palestinians are Semites.

They’re the same picture.

We can do both, if time and energy allow.

I love chilli cheeseburger. They assuredly do not love me.

Hardee’s buffalo bleu cheese, but it’s not around anymore. Their mushroom Swiss burger is pretty alright.

I believe, just disappointed a little (not much, it’s just funny to me).

Aww, rhyming slang is delightful!
