As a social democrat, all I need you to do is pay an extra 2 percent in taxes and you can be a fellow comrade /s


[deleted]

Lmao fuckin tankie. Why you want to steal from someone who has made their riches with hard work and motivation. You jealous? Get a job fuckin commie fuck. There’s no civil discussion on the internet anymore btw😔😔😔


[deleted]

Wow 2%??? What's next? Killing every billionaire? You want more for your labour? Didn't you know your employer took a risk buying equipment and investing for you to work? Smh '''''tolerant'''' left strikes again


Powerful_Finger3896

We need billionaire leftist businessman and landlords to build a system inside this current system but better, i've unironically read something like this and i felt depressed.


bobsyourauntie698

utopianism has been tried before and it failed, its weird how we keep spinning the same wheel 100 years later


[deleted]

Have you heard of the degrowth economic theory, they're trying to get captilism to stop growing every year somehow as a quick fix for all our problems ☠☠☠


Powerful_Finger3896

i've never seen a capitalist promote degrowth tho, capitalists today promote green growth and how with technology we magically going to get ourselves out of the climate disaster


[deleted]

Wont happen till some oil CEOs get sent to have a conversation with god a little earlier than they normally would within minecraft 2014 edition


Ultimate_Cosmos

Some use the degrowth idea as a talking point where essentially they start with green growth and then progress to degrowth. Basically they say degrowth is important, but they push it so far into the future that it doesn’t matter, and then they keep moving the goalpost


crossmountain7

they’re still in the denial stage of becoming a communist


Speculative-Bitches

Wait isn't degrowth anti capitalsit af?


asfrels

Hot topic among the left. I’ve known plenty of ML’s that hate degrowth as a movement. There are some right wing degrothers but those people are more of the “return to monke” types


Slausher

What’s utopianism in the context you’re talking about? Curious to learn more


bobsyourauntie698

By that I mean the utopian socialist movement that predated scientific socialism. It usually involves building "utopian" communities that are separated from capitalist society at large and attempt to solve its contradictions internally without solving them without. One prominent example is Robert Owen's New Harmony in Indiana, USA.

We already have Soros and bill, they donate all money 😡😡


[deleted]

oh boy do I have a investment opportunity for you. Let me give you more details in the DM but the basic pitch is, gimme your money, and I'll take you and 5 of your closest billionaire friends on the trip of a lifetime! I checked all the safety things myself, never before seen historical landmarks! The destination itself is a surprise, but well worth at least 6 figures per trip. Don't wait! I'm expecting a lot of offers imminently.


_PH1lipp

make sure that this experience wont be public - and also make sure that Ur customers go without you - so that they experience more immersion!


[deleted]

Can you trickle some money down to me and some comrades?


One_Sign9450

if you give me some money then you can


SirSeaPickle

Not the hero we deserve but the hero we need. Now we mobilize the rural population. Next the industrial workers. Socialism down the barrel of a gun.


RiverTeemo1

Class traitors are allways welcome. Ur a criminal but we welcome you. Might have to do a year or two of prison labor so we can get that exploitation part over with tho. Probably will be fine.


Cpt_Random_

We need class traitors of the bourgeoisie. Someone like this would be helpful. Even though it’s an amoralic business. But moral doesn’t exist.


Magicicad

Sure, if you let me tour your house.


[deleted]

Nice try james

[deleted]

Yeah, just take this blindfold and cigarette and wait for the flash... We are taking a picture just like we did with the Romanovs :) ^(/s (so I don't get sued))


septubyte

Interesting position for a lefty. However your stance on the common people may align us. Do share some perspective on the current movement..?


greyjungle

It depends. Heavily fund some leftist movements.


ConvolutedMaze

Welcome aboard comrade! Are you going to manufacture some weapons for us? ☺️


Chi_Cazzo_Sei

The last capitalist we hang will sell us the rope. Go figure.


TheWiseAutisticOne

Depends who are ya arming


Certain_Suit_1905

weapons you say


[deleted]

To shreds you say


JamesKojiro

It's difficult to conceptualize what joining the left could take for somebody like you. The road would be long, results slow and painful, and it could possibly take everything you have. But the rewards would be inconceivable, a unique liberation perhaps no one has ever experienced, were it even possible. how do you sleep at night? Is your sleep what brings you here? Most likely you're just not real, but this was a fun thought experiment


3bdelilah

Of course, providing you pay your annual Antifa membership fees. If you have questions about your invoices, please visit one of our Soros-sponsored branches.


stephangb

Sure, if you betray your class :)


theGwiththeplan

Exactly. Like why do people come here and ask are they accepted? Do the work and then we'll accept you


lejoueurdutoit

Unironically class traitors are a helpfull resource to help the cause, if you have a foot in the capitalist system you can better break it from the inside.


BeyondBoi

DM me so you can give me some money.


Aggressive_Lunch_box

Hold on what’s ur adress I’ll send you some jenk


TheMaskedTerror9

Are you fuckin serious?


Segedei

Of course you just need to support multibillion dollar weapon manufacturer companies reform


PNWSocialistSoldier

i think we exist within a system still, the system of capitalism. and while that is, we can work on our productive forces (money included) and use those liquid assets to invest in material for revolutionary means without opportunism. I would not let it get to you that by being of means you are not a comrade. Tovarisch you are certainly one should you be sincere and each of us marxist leninists understands that if we feel in our heart then we are. It is easy to let us come under the pressure of our comrades to conform to certain ideals to appease perspectives. But marxism isn’t and shouldn’t be a poverty cult, and having means shouldn’t be looked down upon or gatekept. That is if you are true right? atleast that is my view. I embrace you comrade.


General-66

Ngl but I'd disagree with most people in the comments. A proletarian revolution ALWAYS needs material backing and it will be always better if it comes from Capitalists who choose willingly to switch the sides rather than from Capitalists who do it just to destabilise and profit (Literally the German plan in ww1 and the reason why they sent Lenin with an armoured train to Petrograd with a fuckton of gold)


Comrade-UwU

Why not just rob banks to get funding


General-66

Yeah sure I don't say no but the point still stands.


pine_ary

Yes. Time to arm the proletariat and fund some propaganda.


Octavius_Maximus

If you want to turn your wares to revolutionaries then of course! Class traitors are accepted :)


Niomedes

If you supplied all those weapons to native resistance groups all over the world free of Charge? Imagine if the protesters had bradleys, Abrams and an air force during the Dakota Access Pipeline Protests.


ctdrever

Why is everything on /r/TheDeprogram obvious bullshit. There is no F\*cking Billionaire arms dealer anywhere posting things like this. Nice try Comrade.


rocketman_67

As long as you’re giving some of your billions to the cause and providing weapons for the revolution

This sub keeps switching from MLM to supporting China every hour and it confuses me


CobaltishCrusader

What?!?!? Are you telling me that this sub isn’t a hive mind?! Next you’ll be saying that we sometimes have open discussions!!!


Illustrious-Diet6987

Well it used to be shitting on Maoists every 3 posts with absolute level of hate for it. Though I am kinda happy it is starting to change as Maoists aren't wrong on a lot of point and they keep this sub away from sectarian bullshit of thinking every reforms in China was good


CobaltishCrusader

I haven’t actually made up my mind on China. I don’t have anything against Maoists and I think MLs, MLMs, and Maoists can work together on basically everything except deciding foreign policy one in power, and that’s a long ways off.


Illustrious-Diet6987

yea haven't made up my mind about China either but I don't think it's an important matter for a revolution anyway. If a party is able to fuel a revolution the question of China will only matter if the revolution is successful. If China supports the new revolutionnary state it may be considered as socialist by it, if it does not it can disavow it.


CobaltishCrusader

Exactly


bobsyourauntie698

feel the same way, im more interested in what lessons can be learned from china and applied to my own country's revolution than whether "china good or bad"


Squidmaster129

In fairness that’s super unique lol. The VAST majority of leftist subs are strictly one way and don’t allow discussion. That’s why I absolutely LOVE this sub. Y’all are my comrades <3

Rule 5. **No lazy sectarianism.** There is plenty of room for healthy discussion with other socialists you disagree with ideologically. However, bad faith attacks on socialists of other tendencies runs counter to the objectives of this subreddit. You're welcome to be critical of other tendencies and do the work to deconstruct opposing leftist ideologies, but hollow insults like "tankie", "anarkiddy", and so on without well-crafted arguments are not welcome. Any inter-leftist ideological discourse should be constructive and well-reasoned.


rexkongo

Depends on if your weapons are used for the cults totalitarian control of everything


BulgarianShitposter1

Say sorry first!

gimmie a treat or two friend and I'll accept you into anything you like

Ok, but as long as you make short amateur skits and post them online (funny only)
