reminder!

may i remind you that as a left-libertarian:

  1. i support the constitution, despite its flaws, and even the flaws about the founding fathers.
  2. i support limited government within a socialist framework
  3. i'm pretty sure there are revisionists here on hexbear which is fine - everyone has their own opinion, and some (including the people here) have their own taste of socialism/communism.
  4. i do NOT condone the actions of stalin in any way, shape and form - between stalin and trotsky, i'd go with trotsky. he should've succeeded lenin in the 1920s to begin with.
  5. there are democratic and libertarian forms of communism such as/like de leonism, left-communism and even council communism.
  6. i find the idea of a multi-party communist country (like in 'reds! a revolutionary timeline' (you can also find the wiki here (just DON'T vandalize it, and i mean it!), or in nepal through 'people's multiparty democracy') to be interesting.

Honestly I think they might just be ESL or ND? They come across as genuine but very naive and idealist. Reminds me of the politigram kids Joshua Cittarella wrote about.

It's the copy pasting and the answering with partial or non-answers that make me think it's a bit, but you might be right.

stalin-shining amerikkka countdown

12
DylanMc6 [any, any] - 2mon

i DON'T get it.

1
buckykat [none/use name] - 2mon

Stalin is good, amerikkka is bad, and I expect you to get yourself banned crashing out because you're a liberal soon.

5
DylanMc6 [any, any] - 2mon

i assume you mean neoliberalism - if you can ask me, neoliberalism is a pretty wasteful thing. is there any reason why you called me a liberal?

1
buckykat [none/use name] - 2mon

Because you support the [US] constitution, and you do NOT condone the actions of Stalin in any way, shape, [or] form.

6
DylanMc6 [any, any] - 2mon

firstly, i think that if the us becomes a socialist nation, the constitution will have to be reformed, the government will have to be restructured to fit within a socialist framework, and a second bill of rights would be ratified.

secondly, the rules say 'Respect that people have differences of opinion and that every leftist has a place in our community - discussing differences in theory is fine and encouraged, just don't make it personal". it's fine if you're a stalinist - that said, what stalin did during his tenure is very inexcusable, gulags and all. if trotsky was given the job instead of stalin, he would've decentralized the soviet government completely. plus, there are democratic and libertarian forms of communism such as:

  1. de leonism (a cross between marxism and syndicalism (named after daniel de leon) in which the government has a party-union framework, rather than party-state)
  2. anarcho-communism (which emphasizes the 'stateless' part of communism)
  3. council communism (in which a communist government consists of workers' councils)
  4. left communism (any communist ideology that opposes stalinism) i'm somewhere in the 'anti-stalinist left'.

and by the way, what are your thoughts on the us constitution?

1
buckykat [none/use name] - 2mon

The US constitution is a worthless rag penned by slavers, designed to forever protect the interests of rich landowners.

I believe Stalin only did two things wrong in his whole tenure: Not suppressing kkkristianity enough, and stopping at Berlin.

9
DylanMc6 [any, any] - 2mon

so do you think that the us constitution should be changed completely?

1
vanDerVaartBlackenedRanch [none/use name] - 2mon

Instead of relitigating ideological disputes that are nearing a hundred years old, what have you done with existing movements such as Food Not Bombs?

Where were you in summer 2020?

3
DylanMc6 [any, any] - 2mon
  1. i find 'food not bombs' to be very interesting. i also support blm because i strongly support equity.
  2. i was in my bedroom, chilling.

context?

Why do you support the constitution of your country^[I am contractually obligated to point out that you didn't specify which country you're talking about; I know which country you're from only because there's exactly one country whose netizens rarely feel the need to specify which country they're from. I can only assume the "founding fathers" are not the Eidsvoll Men.]? If the current constitution has good parts then surely those could just be copied into a new constitution, right?

10
DylanMc6 [any, any] - 2mon
  1. i live in the united states - by 'the constitution', i mean the us constitution.
1
Erika3sis [she/her, xe/xem] - 2mon

...But it's a minor point, anyways. I just want people who seem to have a mindset that centers their own country to challenge that mindset, to think internationally, right. But that discussion is out of the way now, anyways. The bigger point is, again, why do you support the US constitution? I ask because even back when I was a liberal, I still supported my countries of citizenship getting new constitutions; I considered it obvious that these types of documents left for a few centuries will become outdated, and found the apparent "worship" of the Norwegian and US Constitutions to be very perplexing.

8
DylanMc6 [any, any] - 2mon

well i think that if the us becomes a socialist nation (in one way or another), the constitution will have to be reformed, the government will have to be restructured to fit within a socialist framework (i was thinking of de leonism and council communism), and a second bill of rights would be ratified.

1
Erika3sis [she/her, xe/xem] - 2mon

How does this differ from adopting a new constitution in practice?

5
DylanMc6 [any, any] - 2mon

i think some socialists here in the us advocate for the us government to be reorganized to fit within a socialist framework.

1
Erika3sis [she/her, xe/xem] - 2mon

That didn't really answer my question, but it seems like you might have issues with communication and social cues.

cia infiltrates your country and starts shoveling weapons to local insurgents, wdyd? meow-floppy

you get sieged, and nice little men in free press in very fancy costumes promise that siege will be lifted if you just sell your nice resources to nice fancy men, no biggie, they know what they are doing and will bring prosperity for all? meow-floppy

after providing free education, nice fancy man invite your best specialists and artists with higher salaries, wdyd? meow-floppy

(for my suspicions, i do think some sort of ansyn bottom-up is likelier route inside the usa, cause porkies can't fight something they can't see, but be real about some other stuff inside whole ass countryand society)

8
FunkyStuff [he/him] - 2mon

In this situation I would support the rights of insurgents to not do bad things and I would emphasize the idea of unity and respect to frustrate the attempt at subversion.

4
DylanMc6 [any, any] - 2mon

by "ansyn", do you mean anarcho-syndicalism?

also, i live in the us. if the cia decides to have a coup against the us, the people would fight back. then the cia would get reformed when the people wins.

1
buckykat [none/use name] - 2mon

The son of a former CIA director became president of the US by a coup in 2000.

DylanMc6 [any, any] - 2mon

i think the people should've fought back against george w. bush when he won in 2000.

1
Blakey [he/him] - 2mon

Okay, but they didn't and likely wouldn't if (when?) it happens again. "Should have" is not really useful, and the more to the point, your answer has already been shown to not work/be incorrect, because it has already happened and things didn't go the way you said they "should". The bourgeoisie "should" step down and let us do FALGSC. Chinese landlords "should" have surrendered their unfairly acquired hoards to the revolution. Things that "should" happen fail to happen all the time.

i'm actually non-binary, and i prefer gender-neutral and feminine terms. seriously!

1
Trying2KnowMyself [they/them, comrade/them] - 1mon

Have you considered having your pronoun choices reflect that? People do take (mis)gendering seriously here, but it’s hard for people to get it right when your tags suggest that masculine terms are also fine.

3
Pieplup [they/them, comrade/them] - 1mon

my guy is definitely gender neutral in this instance. If you don't like it and feel uncomfortable with it that's fine but it's definitely a gender neutral term the way i'm using it.

Also genuien advice, if you don't want people using masc language youshould have a username without a masc name and not have any pronouns in your bio

1
DylanMc6 [any, any] - 1mon

"dylan" is a gender-neutral name. seriously!

1
Pieplup [they/them, comrade/them] - 1mon

ignoring this obvious cope, If whne most people think fo dylan they think of a guy it's not gender neutral. doesnt' matter how many people name their daughters dylan
