Christian teachings weren’t written by Christ, people wrote about Darwinism that aren’t Darwin, a person can be the namesake and originator of a philosophy but other scholars will continue writing based on their viewpoint.

It’s not the same as being in the trenches under fire, but the class war is waged with violence and has casualties and deaths, front lines and such. Seeing it as a war isn’t a choice to live in a military state, you feel it when you are working class trying to live and the rich are doing their best to let you die. The class war does steal your humanity and control you, taking a militant stance against it is meeting the opposition as they are. They use militarized police and all the means of psychological war to fight against the poor.

I’m not saying it’s necessary to subsume your individuality to the will of your leaders and forget autonomy or follow anything with blind obedience, just that what some call authoritarian I have come to see as potentially necessary steps to take when fighting such a ruthless enemy.

China? Genocides? Even the US-funded rubes pushing that narrative have given up. How many Chinese people living in China are you friends with?

I used to be afraid of the “authoritarianism”, but all socialists need to realize the class war is a real war being waged, a war between the people and the most advanced and all-encompassing enemy in history. We must have a serious and disciplined response and it requires organization like that of an army. Is it authoritarian to follow the commands of your captain when you are in battle? Maybe it is, but without this coordination and discipline we will be destroyed.

They support and punish specific politicians and groups but AIPAC isn’t the driver, Zionism is an essential part of the US policy in the MENA region. Israel is essentially a colony of the US and it’s allies. They would be happy to do it less openly like they had been for decades, keeping Palestine subjected but not aggravating onlookers too much, but the right wing in Israel are blood-thirsty genociders.

Not to mention numerous Black Panthers, civil rights leaders, many others killed. The state knows that assassination can work.

People often talk about going back in time to kill baby Hitler. By all measures Trump would like to be a new Hitler and his most fervent supporters see him as that. Is it surprising people would support such an action to stop him?

How do you believe anyone is “born evil”? What does that mean? Would you support eugenics if this ‘evil gene’ could be identified?

Why do you mention personal property? Anarchism and communism still allow ownership of personal property, but collective ownership of the means of production such as factories and schools. You could do everything you do now in a socialist or anarchist society.

Google Music did this back in the day, I lost versions of tracks that I couldn’t find anywhere again, infuriating.

I think my parents did a fine job, when me and my brothers were little we would play ‘crips and bloods’ how kids play ‘cops and robbers’ but none of us wanted to play as a cop.

“Oh my god you shot me, I’m going to die, but I don’t blame you because you didn’t invent the gun”

You have views that are independently more left or right, but say if your views were a political party, it would be placed on a spectrum from left to right based on how many of these positions fall on either side of the spectrum. Typically the views that are seen as far left and far right are mutually exclusive, like authoritarian centralized governance versus decentralization, increased immigration vs decreased, but it’s true there is a lot of nuance lost when things are viewed that way.

“I want to eradicate non-whites and install a christo-fascist dictator” is as obnoxious as “all people deserve housing and healthcare and a system based on extracting all excess profit from workers is exploitation”

Sorry to say if your views are closer to true libertarianism and the principles favored by those links you would likely be considered distinctly leftist. Dbzer0 is a primarily anarchist community, on the far-left.

I didn’t say the US was fascist, I’m saying our world is controlled by hoards of wealth and nearly all state actions are to protect that wealth and the people that hold it at the cost of the well-being of the proletariat.

We live under a hostile occupation by security forces employed by the wealthy class, there are deaths everyday due to the systems maintained by wealth and greed.

In the suburb I grew up in, a lot of the restaurant workers spoke Spanish, so even at the sushi place the Japanese chef would speak Spanish to the staff, saying gracias could be no different than arigato or thank you lol
