The Libertarian Socialist experiment must be defended by force of arms, ideally and preferably via transnational Kurdish unity.

- Replying to @raheels88Kind of difficult to do so when being invaded by two major powers at the same time...
- Replying to @Ash_Lee_IRL and @jk_rowlingI say this with sincerity because this debate is riddled with landmines and it's almost impossible not to offend anyone. But, if you needed to go through a 'chemical and surgical process' to 'become' a woman then doesn't that mean you're not one by definition?
- Exactly why the US government should always be distrusted and declared as what it is: a criminal entity committed to keeping other countries poor. It's exactly what the Cold War was about. Presidents at the time were explicit about it, e.g. Nixon on why Chile had to be subverted.This is actually an extraordinary admission to make for a US Vice President Vance explains that "the idea of globalization was that rich countries would move further up the value chain while the poor countries made the simpler things." But he laments
- Bullshit Jobs, not to mention his other works like Debt: The First 5,000 years and The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity (co authored with @davidwengrow) should be more widely read."In our society, there seems a general rule that, the more obviously one's work benefits other people, the less one is likely to be paid for it." strikemag.org/bullshit-jobs/
- Replying to @ProustoevskyOr...you're missing the point. I don't think Seneca was undertaking a structural critique of society and thinking about elites and the poor. He was clearly talking about how we overthink and needlessly suffer as individuals on a personal basis which is undoubtedly true.
- Replying to @TaiwanOrwell and @OGBlackRedGuard'Trash people and trash culture' if he said that about any other group of people the left would rage out. We need to have some principles.
- Communist and Islamist? Do you even understand the words you're using?
- Replying to @PhilipProudfootI'm not exaggerating when I say this is one of the most disgusting things a politician has said in recent years. The contempt for Palestinian children, the desire to mock the protestor, the fact that Starmer himself was part of Corbyn's team. It's truly reprehensible.
- Replying to @HookArron1Not seeing any socialists in the picture...two liberals perhaps. But a great quote nonetheless, said by a socialist about a certain type of other socialists it might be important to add.
- Replying to @richimedhurst @GretaThunberg and @RimaHasSimmer down Elliott just because you're historically illiterate and morally depraved doesn't mean you need to foam at the mouth.
- Replying to @yoavabrahami and @OmarHamadDThe audacity of you to respond like this to someone in pain because of your government. Truly reprehensible behaviour. History did not start on October 7th. While you preach about what he could have done why don't you see what Israelis could have stopped doing for decades?
- Replying to @Betar_USAYou deleted them because you received pushback. At least have the cowardice of your convictions.
