Everyone defending AOC needs to get one thing through their fucking skulls: you will never bring Socialism by disavowing Socialism. No amount of “I’m a Socialist but Stalin is bad” will ever be enough, as evidenced by half the country thinking AOC is a “Stalinist.”

“Socialism was bad everywhere it’s been tried but I’ll be good if we do it” is a dogshit argument that convinces no one, and pointing to nations that are not even fucking close to Socialist as Socialist doesn’t make people open to Socialism, it halts their progress into Socialism, like the fucking Vaushites who think you can do entryism in the Democratic Party.

I’m sorry that this politician you like isn’t a Socialist. She’s not hiding her power level, she’s a fucking Liberal.

Michael Parenti has a very good materialist analysis of the Baby Boom that I can’t find, so I’ll paraphrase it here.

There were three main factors that led to the Baby Boom:

  1. During the war, very few consumer goods were being produced, as most factories were turned to manufacturing supplies. Having nothing to purchase allows workers to build a bit of a nest egg.

  2. The GI Bill of Rights and the enormous benefits it provided.

  3. The US Constitution prevents the State from directly controlling production. What it can do is let everyone know that it’s buying infinite guns and tanks, thus turning the war economy into a semi-permanent jobs program.

Is AOC sanctioning China “hiding her power level” you fucking RadLibs?

And let’s address the argument that there’s something to be gained by “hiding one’s power level.”

What? Did you people watch Bernie’s two campaigns and somehow come away with the idea that working with the Democratic Party is a way to advance our interests? If so, you took away literally the opposite of what you should have, and are demonstrating exactly what happens when you water down Socialism.

Can someone give me some good examples of Millennials being wildly self-important narcissists because two seconds of political TikTok has me going full Boomer about the fucking teens and I’d like some ammunition to counter that.

The United States is a Nazi Empire that has committed at least four genocides. Everyone who works for the military should be treated as a member of the Waffen SS.
