ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.workstoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Tankies delusional-posting are quite funny1810·21 hours agoThis isn’t entirely new or unique to America, but the dynamic is essentially:
Party A improves the odds fascism is successfully implemented.
Party B implements it.
Reducing the conditions for fascism to take hold is strictly off the table for both A and B.
Fundamentally changing the system of Party A (or B for that matter) through voting alone would at least require a Party C.
But even so it is the internal party politics prior to and outside of elections that are keeping this fascism paradigm in place. And that’s where people’s frustrations tend to lie.
Oops, all Heritage Foundation.
ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.worksto MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works•Admin of VTC praises HamasEnglish3·1 day agoUltimately and unfortunately Hamas has enabled the Israeli goal of splitting the West Bank and Gaza in the concept of Palestine.
The West Bank may soon be the only place of Palestine left, neither because of nor in spite of Hamas.

Millions of civilians have been exterminated because their politics were not national, ethnic, racial, or religious.
Yeah. Within the confines of this political cartoon: Fascism relies on people staying on the reform carousel. Reform only has as much power as there are people getting on the revolution bus, and fascists know this.

I think this still begins to necessitate structures that begin to resemble the state. After all: Zapatistas, Rojava, Spanish Civil War each have something in common: wartime conditions with military structures. I find it difficult to parse the very real achievements of those movements from that context.
ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.worksto Anarchism and Social Ecology@slrpnk.net•“Anarchism wouldn't work because there will always be people to ruin it for others.”121·2 days agoI have a bit of an inverted perspective. All anti-social behaviors aside: can Anarchists build and maintain public infrastructure?
I like public utilities. If an anarchist commune can keep a wastewater treatment plant running and even expand sewerage to those without it, I am all for it. If the public drinking water systems can be maintained and uncontaminated that’s a win in my book.
But practically speaking some functions of the state do serve the public, and I find that acceptable.

A communist revolution overthrowing an objectively brutal regime really gets the right wingers on the defensive.

There was hope she would help further working class issues in deeper red territory but it has more resulted in supporting deep red social issues as a Democrat. (She helped block abortion and trans rights in the military under Biden, etc.)

Sometimes the pressure of weekly production is a good thing, but it’s almost all about the style and capacity of the writing.
But no, the article is about marketing.

ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.worksto Work Reform@lemmy.world•Gave him an offer, then took it away. Thanks PayPal.35·3 days agoAs an environmental regulator in America I know first hand how company owners tend to respect nothing but their own wealth and standing. I write and enforce administrative orders and penalties to company presidents and CEOs. They’ll throw the world under the bus before taking reaponsibility.
But during covid a lot of contracts and orders were digitally signed and not given wet signatures.
So a lot of American company owners are trying to pull back on everything covid. One of the angles is attempting to void all contracts not physically signed with a wet signature. Completely ignoring digital signing is a (new?) tactic being used.
ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.worksto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Instead of takedown ads, this Gen-Z congressional candidate is using campaign money to feed peopleEnglish31·3 days agoI wonder if once elected she would be able to get taxpayer dollars directed in such a way, or if this is activity mainly enabled by the freedom and increasingly unregulated campaign system of American politics.
We don’t need more Glusencamp-Perez or Fetterman types in office, but if this campaign actually translates into real, meaningful policy towards the hungry and homeless (if only in Illinois)? Can’t complain, though that feels unlikely in this environment.
The hell it would. Fascism will drive with an empty bus, so to speak.
That’s typically in the midst of imminent armed violence, however.
So you’re telling me the company that doesn’t have unions fails to deliver?
