Sorry but this is dumb. I am the one who decides if a label applies to me or not. I won’t call myself an anarchist because my beliefs are not described by this word. I will call myself a communist because it describes what I think is true, even if I need to specify (“I’m a communist but…”).

There’s no one telling me what I believe in, and if a label changes meaning over time or my views change and it no longer applies to my thinking I will just stop using it.

It’s the same when you use any other word to describe yourself. “I’m a musician” until I stop playing. “I’m not a painter” until I pick up a brush. “I’m long haired” until I cut my hair.

He’s been a known union buster for a long time tho

Nope. The Nordic countries are still controlled by capitalists, they (akd most of western Europe as well) just have given the workers some welfare policies in order to appease them and stop any revolutionary ideas. It’s no coincidence that these policies were in place while the Eastern bloc was around and they began to dismantle the welfare state as soon as the USSR fell and they felt they could get away with it.

(Disclaimer: I’m not saying that the welfare state is evil, and that we’d be better with the shitty US way of doing things)

It’s whitewashing because it’s implying that genocide, leftist suppression, etc are the exclusive characteristics of a fascistic system instead of business as usual under capitalism. This removes the bad aspects of capitalism (“if this is happening it’s because the US has turned fash, it’s not capitalism’s fault”).

He’s right tho. The stuff in the meme are just things that happened under capitalism.

Let’s not whitewash capitalism by blaming its atrocities on fascism.

Fascism is the takeover of the state by the capitalists.

What. Capitalism is already the takeover of the state by capitalists. The state apparatus is just the means by which the dominant class exerts its power.

Nah. “Anti-democratic”, for the EU, is also anything left of van Der Leyden.

This is my exact setup, too. It works without any problem using either thunderbird or their web UI.

Because it makes reinstalls really easy. You can just nuke your OS but everything else remains there safely.

Is Wikipedia “Kremlin approved literature”?

The first camps were established in March 1933 immediately after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. Following the 1934 purge of the SA, the concentration camps were run exclusively by the SS via the Concentration Camps Inspectorate and later the SS Main Economic and Administrative Office. Initially, most prisoners were members of the Communist Party of Germany, but as time went on different groups were arrested, including “habitual criminals”, “asocials”, and Jews.

in the produce section thank you for your service

Thomas Sankara and Rosa Luxemburg

I love how in the US getting Hitler elected would just be a matter of having a total of one worse person run for president. Then the Dems would be selling him as the saviour of the working class and minorities.

“What? Third party? You might as well be voting for Hitl… Wait”

Yeah, and he went away not because they voted him out but thanks to Soviet weapons.

Because it checks if the version starts with the string “Windows 9*”, not wether the number is less than 9.

The EU doesn’t do any hybrid model. Social democracy is still capitalism, being less shitty than the US doesn’t make the EU any less capitalist.
