Users on Lemmy.ml or Lemmygrad.ml tend to be Marxists of some kind, which means they tend to have similar analysis, though many Lemmy.ml users aren’t Marxists, but also Anarchists or even liberals.
You can read through this post. I’ve commented many times. I don’t feel the need to have the same conversation with multiple people who all share the same lack of motivation to do anything besides sit on the sidelines and jerk each other off about how their preferred method of governance would fix everything while they can’t even be bothered to do the most base civic duty to push for the change they allegedly want. Its fucking exhausting.
And for the record I think capitalism is a fucking virus. I also think people who refuse to engage with the system to change it have no right to complain about it. The US is the most militarized police state in the world. You aren’t helping shit by telling people not to vote. Your actively damaging all the work others are doing.

When the commies refuse to grasp reality that is what people will say.
It sure must be convenient to be able to simply gesture and posture around, rather than grapple with the arguments of others.
I’m new here and just trying to fit in… I guess I was confused after seeing all the people with .ml after their names do the exact same shit.

I’m fully aware. That doesn’t change my statement. That’s not even relevant to the discussion.
Are you saying its ok for for them to simply gesture and posture rather than grapple with arguments? I really don’t see why you typed that.
Your statement was empty, though. You just dodged having to engage with the argument. You were the one gesturing.

Bold of you to think leftists believe voting to be the most base civic duty to push for change, and not organizing and revolution.
