I genuinely can’t tell whether this is satire or not.

A socialist state will always be recaptured by capital. The state must be smashed, repeatedly and relentlessly, until no state can ever rise again.

I dunno… get a nice, well-intentioned, thoughtful, compassionate and caring person with intellectual disability into office, they’d listen to advisors, work well with others, they wouldn’t assume they already know best about every situation… I think it would work out pretty well, to be honest!

You absolutely can ridicule someone’s lack of competence, for sure, because competence isn’t an inherent trait. Intelligence and competence aren’t really causally linked. Sure, someone with an intellectual disability might not be the world’s greatest chess player, for example, but for most people with an intellectual disability, with more than an average amount of practice, they can beat an average player.

I think “tripped over his own dick” is fine, that doesn’t suggest to me “he’s bad because he has mobility issues”, it’s more like carelessness.

Remember as well that you don’t need to be perfect, nobody is acting or expecting that. All we can all do is try our best and if we hurt people, take accountability and apologise to them. No one always gets it right and it’s okay to get it wrong, so long as you’re not being stubborn and refusing to change because you don’t care about the feelings of others, people will be fine with it!

The ableism is coming from inside the house - it’s not a bad thing to be intellectually disabled. The problem with Trump is not that he’s stupid, it’s that he’s a selfish, careless, thoughtless, cruel, ignorant asshole.

Using words like “stupid” as an insult implies that all people lacking in intellect or wisdom are also bad people.

The death toll of capitalism is much, much higher than any of us can imagine. We should aim to have the most peaceful revolution possible, but we also should be realistic, and I know for a fact that the ruling class aren’t going to go without a fight. We can starve them out, I believe, for the most part, but yeah, there will definitely be death and suffering, I can’t deny that. But a lot of people are dying NOW. And for nothing. We can at least die trying to make a better world. That’s something I’m willing to die for.

I’m wondering when the rest of you guys are going to realize that electoralism is a huge waste of time, effort and energy. Elections are a distraction to make us think we can effect change through the system. But the problem IS the system. There is only one way forward, and it’s through a revolution that abolishes the entire existing structures of power.

We need to accept this reality, so we can actually start the long process of how to achieve that.
