Imagine telling a Muslim person after 9/11 or a visible trans person that their real enemy are only the “bourgeoisie”, just this class of faceless entities they’ve never met and not the everyday proles that constantly treat them like shit
And that the proles are actually only massive assholes to them because they’re “misguided” by “the ruling class”
No wonder socialist groups are all filled with middle-upper middle class white coastal elites
I was making 100k+ for over 8 years now, and I was the most radicalized and doing the most activism when I was at my peak wealth before I lost most of it in a gambling addiction
I’m sorry but my enemies are both the ruling and the working class. And my best bet for survival and a good life is becoming a capitalist rather than any solidarity with the working class that at large treat me as lesser than just because of my identity
I didn’t “outgrow” socialism, I just smartened up to where my class interests truly lie (shared identity with trans people and capital)
That just makes you petty bourgeois lmao
And pretty cringe to continue using a website after requesting your previous account to be banned ngl
you say your enemy is the ruling class, you join the ruling class and accept their ideology? that doesnt seem like they are your enemy. and why is your solidarity with the working class conditional?
Because class solidarity is a matter of survival and personal interests, not ethics, morals, or empathy
Marx spoke of this
To me solidarity is a matter of liberation, not personal interest.
Liberation is also in your personal interest though, is it not?
in a very long term sense, liberation (ergo communism) is beneficial to everyone. but in the short term i dont really benefit being beat up by the police for being at a palestine protest
Hope you made a lot of alts then if you’re gonna continue to motte and bailey “DAE socialists are latte sipping trust fundies?”
Okay I know I made a lot of shitposts in the past but this one is alright imo. I mean I know it’s just Settlers in a nutshell but obviously not everybody has read Settlers or wants to
