Equating these socdem sheepdogs to communists is more insulting than accusing us of killing a hundred gazillion people.

    This is the same approach they use in the UK to ‘demonise’ the labour party. It is tried and tested there (Corbyn) and they are using the same guide in the USA

    As if they’re collectively even a 20th of what any AES-participating socialist achieved.

    Also, the fact it’s a “Socialist republic of America” itself is reproducing a subtle settler-colonial narrative still.

    Motherfuckers will live under the oppression of the bourgeoisie that will always insist the right of their laws, the enforcement of their laws to the fucking penny. Parking ticket? You have to comply. Court summons? You have to comply. You dumped numerous amounts of pollution into a river? You have to comply… Unless you can afford the ‘fee’, which is just a license to continue business since the Bourgeoisie are literal owners of the means of production, no matter how hollowed, liquid money is chump change at that point.
