That's just a pokemon

You claim to know nothing about the instance you're actually on while passing judgement about hexbear, an instance you're not even on.

If that was true then why are you here talking shit

Yeah I like that more

From my observation, both at the same time gets the best results. I hesitate to call it good cop/bad cop but maybe that's what it is

Star Trek website is good

As long as there is capital, there will be inequality. As long as there is inequality, there will be those who have power and use it in order to gain more power. And when that happens, no matter what you've done to make things better for everyone, it will get taken away.

That's why there is no socialism without a proletarian state that wields the force of that power to ensure the strength of the working class. Until global capital can be completely defeated, there is no socialism without communism.

The US is a far more violent state and it's not even remotely close.

Yeah that would be great, unfortunately the world we live in doesn't work like that. Asking for cooperation when the other side is perfectly fine using violence and manipulation then you are effectively just advocating for subservience to the bourgeoisie.

According to who? People defending the narrative that they are contradicting? Yeah man. What a totally unbiased and reliable source for that information.

I didn't say everything is authoritarian, I specifically stated your politics as being authoritarian.

Let's not pretend that your politics aren't inherently authoritarian as well.

Either you support capitalism (or worse), which is grossly authoritarian as it inflicts massive violence not only via warfare but through mass starvation and deprivation, or you support socialism, in which case you have two options:

1. The violent overthrow of the current system (spoiler alert: that's a very authoritarian thing to do!)

2. The gradual reform of the current system, meaning maintaining the status quo for an exceptionally long time as we ever so slowly creep our way to a more just economic system while countless people starve, go homeless, die without healthcare, end up in yet-another war and so on (which is a very authoritarian proposition, just throwing away the lives of the poor in your own country-not to mention those in the developing world-just so you can have a neat and tidy reformist approach that doesn't rock the boat.)
