I'm not american and neither do I know much about these parties at all, but my guess would have been, that while they may not be perfect, they're still the best options for communist parties? I may be mistaken, since I know so little. Like, would the PSL be a better alternative? If they are, maybe they're not active in his part of the US? Maybe CPUSA is the most accessible?
These are all speculations tho. I'm looking forward to other more educated insights xD.
I was talking with two friends yesterday. Apparently they always supported Palestinians, but once they saw Hamas soldiers screaming Allah Ackbar and kidnapping civilian women, they are of the opinion that they're not better than Israelis. "It's just two Nazi Germanies fighting against eachother." Was a banger I heard during that discussion. Another banger: "You don't see Ukranians murder and kidnap civilians, do you? They are respectful of POW."
I tried my best arguing; to no avail. Whatever I said, I was countered with smth like, "well i support them too, but this kind of force is totally unjustified". So in short I failed the argument.
Damn, this is a good video - thx for posting. But where do all these downvotes come from?
Thanks for this post. Always wanted to understand what was rly going on between the Anarchists and Bolsheviks. At first I was actually heavily sympathetic towards them as I didn't grasp just how much of a significant difference there is, and I simply considered them 'slightly confused allies' or so. Never got around to read anything on the matter though, as there's enough books I gotta read first. Looking forward to the next post.
This may not completely address the argument that the unemployed are lazy, but I think one has to keep in mind what unemployment benefits are for us workers. It's an extremely good weapon against our employers. A high unemployment benefit means that we have less to fear when it comes to class struggle. So if anyone argues against unemployed people getting paid, they're talking about stripping the workers of an important weapon they can use to improve working conditions for themselves in the future.
