tankie stuff aside imo u guys should get peeps a livable minimim income and universal healthcare

and get the money from peeps like trump who haven't paid taxes and raise taxes on peeps making alot of money!!!

like, focus on that and not like death squads and ideological purity and atomic bombs and world revolution

the socialists (who i vote for and donate to up here in kkkanada) are loving idiots seriously all of them and like the winds of trumpism are blowing!!! BE CAREFUL!!!

cults of personality are bad but also sometimes good

whats gonna happen is theres gonna be a 100 different socalists orgs and they are going to mostly beat up on the dem party while someone you can arguably describe as a fascist ruins the country so lol @ u

i have no clue how to like, politic, but you need a charismatic, SANE leader like jack layton who people can identify with

back when layton was breathing we had a big poster of him up in my house, and referred to him as the great mustache
the absurd failure of the NDP, ideologically and leadershiply after the orange crush up here in canada is really sad

Annoying how tankie went from meaning "khrushchev did nothing wrong" to "stalin and mao did nothing wrong" to left of liberal.

Same thing happened to the word Nazi and now we don't have a good word to describe Bannon.

cspam definitely lurching rightward woooo

cspam isn't LF.

It was the dawn of the third age of mankind – one month after the election.

The C-SPAM Project was a dream, given form. Its goal: to prevent another war, by creating a place where humans and tankies can work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call – home away from home – for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers.

Humans and tankies, wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal . . . all alone in the night.

It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace.

This is the story of the last of the internet forums. The year is 2016. The name of the place is C-SPAM.
