fascinating, thank you

There were also (per Losurdo) everyday Soviet people decrying the betrayal of the revolution because they started using money again after war communism (everyone being poo poo poor and trading in kind) stopped being necessary. There's always a millenarian fringe begging for egalitarian poverty (which Marx and Engels railed against by proclaiming that Christian asceticism is not socialism) which is ironically what right wingers caricaturize socialism as. Same thing for people who thought religion and the patriarchal family unit would disappear. Can't just snap your fingers and make that poo poo go away but there's always going to be some dumb rear end in a top hat complaining that they didn't.

Losurdo's Class Struggle: a Political and Philosophical History is a good read for understanding how the ideals of a revolution meet the reality of practical necessity.

yeah “private transfer” includes handing someone a gun at a range or using someone else’s rifle while hunting

it’d be a mess that the feds would only use to nail/add decades of sentence to someone they don’t like

Do countries where they have 3 or 4 gun murders a year track private transfers?

usually they sidestep that by requiring you be licensed to purchase/acquire a gun.

e.g. for Canada https://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/firearms/licensing

On the one hand I think it is important to maintain some level of empathy or at least awareness regarding the world-historic firehose of propaganda everyone who lives in the US has been suffocated with since birth

On the other hand it is still extremely funny that chuds voluntarily exploded their own buttholes because of fantasy poo poo they saw on facebook

when you attribute increases in prices toward greed instead of inexorable market forces the corporations have no choice but to obey (usually accompanied by asking whether corporations were any less greedy before the supply chain issues), rather than thinking regardless of surrounding circumstance or opportunity everyone has a choice whether to do the right thing

it's the assertion (which is correct) that inflation is (at least partly) driven by the capitalists being too greedy that they'd rather let people stew in unaffordable everything than take a hit to their profits

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.
Bill Clinton had to be one of the shittiest presidents in modern times right?


Like in the past forty years I'd rank presidents most poo poo to least:

1. W (architect of mass surveillance, starter of the almost forever wars, ramped up "concern" at the border, started ICE, pushed anti-gay/absence in Africa and other foreign policy blunders, took advantage of 9/11 paranoia so Americans fear "terrorist's") +Positives+ He helped seniors get drugs and gave Africa aid. Of course both in catch 22 ways but still.

2. Reagan (Cemented America's full on march to neoliberalism fully burring the New Deal era, terrible foreign policy from Soviet escalation to siding with apartheid South Africa, expanded War on Drugs much further.)
+Positives+ He apparently wanted the government to file taxes for Americans like other countries....but that didn't pass so :shurg:

3. Clinton (Fully ushered in "the end of big government", his "third way" strategy has been a plague on the nation every since, NATO expansion, welfare reform, crime "reform", disastrous trade deals, repealed the Glass Steagall Act)
+Positives+ I guess his Supreme Court nominees could have been worse?

4. Trump (ICE expansion, kids in cages expansion, truly took white nationalism by the horns, made immigration notably more difficult, helped make COVID political, garbage court nominees) +Positive+ Killed TPP. Wasn't as hawkish on foreign policy despite his posturing.
+Positives+ Killed TPP, something that Hillary would have absolutely passed. Despite his posturing, he wasn't as bad as other presidents with foreign policy. Lot less successful "surprise" coups during his reign.

5. Biden (Feckless president who refuses to hold his party members accountable. Screwed up COVID as bad if not worse than Trump. Jumping the military to focus on the war on terror to the war on Russia.)
+Positives+ Pulled out of Afghanistan. Briefly substantially reduced child poverty.

6. HW (The Gulf War which has a heavy civilian toll, escalated The War on Drugs)
+Positives+ He vomited on the Japanese Prime Minister.

7. Obama (Expanded ICE, started kids in cages, squandered the opportunity of having a super majority in congress to actually do good things, didn't revoke Bush's mass surveillance state, pacified the American Left of center with "Democrats and Republicans should both come to the aisle and work together")
+Positives+ The stimulus did much to save the economy. Made it so you can't be turned away from a pre-existing condition by health insurance. Actually did some things to normalize America's relationship with Cuba.
