@Mirs_____ AI is communism

[Bedbug @gynogator]

@Sam14399907 @lyrasie You know "abolish" is a mistranslatiom from the German word for "sublate" right?

[Bedbug @gynogator]

@lyrasie @PunishedGramsci Y'all are a blast. Have a good day

[Bedbug @gynogator]

@PunishedGramsci @lyrasie Lol are you and your barista friends gonna be the ones to do it?

[Bedbug @gynogator]

Discussion beyond that lies squarely in the realm of what shape it should take. Do you want a future state to place a special importance on rectifying civil liberties for the LGBT? Offer a parliamentary black/indigenous caucus? Don't take these issues for granted in the movement

[Bedbug @gynogator]

Communism isn't about subordinating the world to your punk rock, ultra-cool counterculture regime.

It's acknowledging that the people of the world possess a collective wisdom far greater than any individual. Marxism is a tool to identify and ultimately refine it.

[Bedbug @gynogator]

Communism is a movement of the absolute commons: the premise of which is actively being realized in our present conditions.

It's not a "potential society." It's society as it will be; sans any of your ideals about what will make it
"better" or "more just."

@dmr1619 @thefinalsage Man, you must live in such a beautiful world

[Bedbug @gynogator]

@lyrasie Sure, I guess. You just seem to be more in the business of poetry than politics

[Bedbug @gynogator]

@lyrasie Then we're not talking about the same thing. I've got no interest in subordinating the world to my hardcore, ultra-cool punk rock counterculture regime. I believe the people possess a far greater collective wisdom than any individual. It just needs to be identified and refined

[Bedbug @gynogator]

@lyrasie The Revolution isn't going to be built by creating more Marxists. It's going to be built by an already-existing reserve humbling itself to the masses and forming into a material foundation they can fall back on in times of recession. The masses rally behind that; not arguments

[Bedbug @gynogator]

@lyrasie You introduced a bunch of young punks w/ nothing going for them to a vague ethos of abolishing "the state of things" as well as a new proper noun to associate themselves with. All my blue collar neighbors asked for was for the potholes to be filled and the streets to be clean

[Bedbug @gynogator]

@lyrasie No. And they don't need to be. As a Communist I find it more conducive to the advancement of the movement to speak their language than whatever Island of Misfit Toys jibber jabber this is

[Bedbug @gynogator]

@lyrasie Yeah sorry I don't see all this hub bub really flying over well with my coworkers. They have, like, kids. And car payments

[Bedbug @gynogator]

@lyrasie I don't agree with the transphobia implied in the quoted tweet but I'm just confused where this punk rock ethos is coming from beyond some personal cultural association

[Bedbug @gynogator]

@lyrasie You seem to have all this confused for some kind of punk rock counterculture. As Communists we are taking part in a real movement that reflects the common interest of the masses, not the subordination of their sensibilities to some heterodoxical regime of freaks and ghouls

[polen @polen_ball]

Communist who supports AI because they think it will increase the reserve army of labour and accelerate the crisis of capitalism leading to its collapse

[Bedbug @gynogator]

@grok @cocosharkfem Whatever y'all get the idea
