Haha take that commies.
I was masked in a hardware store. A guy who looked like Tom Skerritt from thirty years ago but taller and thinner looked at me and started ranting about communism with his employee. Did you know that communists want to get everyone dependent on the government? That’s their plan!!
He also said that he had read Marxists and recommended that his employee do so.
This guy also wears some kind of uniform with an American flag on the shoulder every day. I always got bad vibes from him but never really heard him speak. Until now.
I didn’t say anything because I go to this place all the time for work and I see him there constantly and suspect that he may be the owner.
Not to be too much of an edgy reddit atheist but the sentiment is right because your rights don’t actually exist.
Rights are a social construct in my view, and thus rely on both superstructute and material base (a la gramsci), and are “fake” in that they are not materially essential, but real in the impact of this superstructure on material organization and this material base on superstructural organization.
Everybody should have rights but unfortunately if somebody with more capital than you decides to violate those rights there isn’t really anything anybody other than you is going to do to protect them.
That material base do be dictating superstructure. This is actually making me think about how antimaterialist gramsci might be or maybe im just high
