  • The only problem with that is. The fascist Republicans have largely and effectively mined out that silver vein over the last 100 years. It does still exist at least. And it’s definitely far better than a kick in the teeth. But as someone eligible for it in roughly 15 years. It’s not going to count for much. People already on it are falling back into poverty and struggling to survive as is. Plus they’re getting ready to cut payments not increase. Possibly even canceling outright for many should Trump and Republicans win office again. That’s why it’s a short-term Victory realistically speaking.






  • A few things. Communism isn’t Marxist leninism. Communism isn’t authoritarian. And it’s not just Stalin and Mao. It’s literally everywhere Marxist leninism has ever been attempted. Communism is a classless stateless society. Therefore a Marxist leninist government will never become communist. Because they are defined by their class separation of those with political power and those without, and the strong overbearing presence of the state.

    There’s nothing objectionable to Communism whatsoever. And no one should have any qualms about defending it ever. What we should question is why one group of authoritarians the Marxist leninist desire to be so closely tied to it. And another group of authoritarians the capitalists demand everyone be afraid of it.










  • After all the fud and opposition they’ve pushed against it over the years. It’s nice to see them finally do things to help it.

    Quick edit to add that it couldn’t come at a better time now that there are companies like system 76 out there. Making Linux compatible systems that ship with Linux that you can actually recommend to someone who is a novice to pick up. They may be on a more expensive side. But what’s your privacy worth?
