This is pretty good timing for this topic, especially here on lemmygrad.ml we have been bringing this topic up multiple times.
PSL’s candidates Claudia & Karina even mention how income would be capped, though they do mention locking up war criminals and Wall Street con men (which would still be under a prison system designed for rehabilitation and reeducation):
All income and assets over ten million dollars would be subject to a 100% tax – with no exceptions or loopholes – as would all offshore corporate profits. All debt from student loans, bail bonds, medical and utility bills would be canceled.
I am curious though. Is there a point on voting socialist? We all know that even if they win capitalists will not give out their power and will just murder them.
The main purpose of these campaigns is to help educate more people and further bring class consciousness to the working class, as we saw Bernie’s movement had done. We are very likely not going to win, but we need to organize as most people only pay attention to politics once every 4 years.
Here’s an article from PSL regarding Bernie’s campaign in 2020 that may help answer questions:
Red sails link, “China has billionaires”. We really cannot stop relitigating the same-ass questions… Like, I know it’s said “we must never stop explaining” but godfuckindamn man
That was not a question, but the title of the video 🤣
Watched a bit of it. It talks as though “socialism” were some revolution we’re gonna do next year, the way teenagers talk about, “After the revolution, will there be…”
Maybe he gets into history and back to reality later, but I’m not giving it any more time.
Second Thought is purposefully being a gateway to real theory, the teenager talk is because they appeal to them with a simpler worldview
Might be good Imo, creating a pipeline from Second Thought to The Deprogram to actually reading Lenin
I went from Hasan > The Deprogram > Jakarta Method > Lenin.
I can’t watch it right now, but my first thought upon seeing the title was “Several countries in Europe are socialist. What happens to the rich people there? They do still exist.” That seems like a good place to look for an answer.
Several countries in Europe are socialist.
You must be new here.
The only country in Europe that is anything close to being socialist is Belarus.
Uhhhh, are you stuck in the ‘80s? That statement hasn’t been true for 30 years
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
