“People” are not the problem. That’s Malthusian garbage. Capitalism is the problem.

Human beings use complex language and are capable of learning and developing culture.

Capitalism is a system that teaches and enforces greed, competition and exploitation. Capitalism is a system that demands infinite growth for the sake of growth. It’s nonsensical, and obvious that such a system leads to over-exploitation and collapse. We are currently the way we are because we’ve been forced to under this system.

We are capable of change, and learning to build communities and societies based on mutual aid, cooperation, and living in harmony with the world we live in.

If we start to build such communities we will learn to cooperate just as the capitalist system has taught us to be greedy and exploit each other for fear of ending up without the means to house and feed ourselves.

Why wouldn’t communism lead to cancer like growth? Because the objective isn’t endless expansion to make some imaginary line go up and hand over all the wealth to a small number of people. It’s to manage our world based on good science and achieving objectives that lead to a sustainable world in which all people’s basic needs are met.

There are countless ways of building communism, and all of them require constant work. And yes it’s true that if implemented in an authoritarian manner it would lead to a bad outcome (still not as bad as our certain extinction under any capitalist system). Anarchism (and there are many schools of thought within anarchism) gives us many tools to build communism in a libertarian manner where we keep each other in check, ensuring that no one person gains power over others.

Look at Rojava, revolutionary Catalonia, the Ukrainian Free Territory, the Shinmin Autonomous Region. These societies can work, expanded, and built upon if given half a chance.

No shit. That’s why it’s a constant ongoing effort to build communism. The current system is leading us to certain annihilation.

No. The goal of capitalism is to turn all things into commodities to be bought and sold. It has the growth pattern of cancer. Communism is a moneyless, stateless, classless society where would be free to focus on human-centred objectives like feeding and housing all people, making our environment sustainable, pursuing scientific and academic goals without need for a profit to be generated just for the sake of endless commodification.

Capitalism consumes everything.

lol, miscalculated? 😂

The entire purpose of the pier was to use it as a Trojan horse to get military into the refugee camp disguised in aid trucks so they could do their “hostage rescue mission” where they murdered 274 people.

It served its purpose.

I wonder if this is being released now to distract from thoughts of any Israeli involvement in 9/11 such as the ‘dancing Israelis’

Hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist but I don’t think it would surprise many at this point if Israel did orchestrate the whole thing. Israel really had the most to benefit from 9/11.

"during the incident" —referring to the World Trade Center attack. The driver of the van, Sivan Kurzberg, told the officers, "We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem."

That’s quite chilling.

People should keep submitting fake reports, and make them somewhat plausible. Just so they don’t get instantly discarded and can actually tie up more resources by actually getting investigated.

"I do shoot myself in the foot from time to time, but at least you know it is genuine, not from the PR department”

Yeah we know. He’s genuinely a white supremacist, misogynist, queerphobe piece of shit. A PR department doesn’t give a fuck about any of that, but at least they’d be savvy enough to pretend like they give a damn in order to make money.

Whatever the result they’re going to keep trying again. Why wouldn’t they when there are virtually no consequences? Fascists don’t give a damn about what election results say, they’re always going to try to gain power by any means necessary.

“I’m supporting the indiscriminate genocide of an entire group of people whose land I’ve stolen, but it’s everyone else who’s a Nazi!”

Good job at reasoning buddy. 👍🏻

Are Norman Finkelstein, Noam Chomsky, and Gabor Mate all nazis too?

Hamas is the last option left after more progressive options have been destroyed by Israel over the years. Netanyahu funds Hamas.
