  1. Mamdani openly calling for seizing the means of production. https://www.reddit.com/r/InformedTankie/comments/1lnzxeo/zohran_please_seize_the_means_of_production/ https://x.com/Osint613/status/1939657700553486380
  2. What do you think of this video of an Israeli man trying to argue that the Jews never stole land from Palestinians, before the 1948 war.
  3. It will be just like Osho’s commune!
  4. This is also a huge win for the larger socialist movement in America, our ideas are becoming more mainstream.
  5. Its really nice to see American politics become progressively more conscious and the major metropolitan cities, such as New York, gradually leave the closed Wall Street and NYSE ORANGE vMeme and evolve into an open GREEN system. I feel as if we're finally living up to the values of Leo's conscious politics series.
  6. What is the book's title going to be? And where can I buy it?
  7. @Leo Gura I definitely agree with Clarence. The way you write your book is not really professional or academic, but you swing the pendulum in the complete other direction and it comes off as too casual.
  8. Personal property is different from private property. Private property refers specifically to specifically the means of production that the bourgeoisie uses to extract value from the proletariat. Personal property refers to personal belongings and possessions. Enjoy this explanation by an AI: In Marxism, private property refers to the means of production (land, factories, etc.) owned by private individuals or corporations, used to generate profit through wage labor. Personal property, on the other hand, refers to possessions for personal use, such as clothing, a toothbrush, or a house used for personal residence. Marxism critiques private property as the foundation of capitalism, leading to exploitation, while supporting personal property for individual use. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Private Property: In Marxist theory, private property is not simply about owning things for personal use. It's about the ownership of the means of production that allows one class (the bourgeoisie) to exploit another (the proletariat) by controlling the production process and appropriating surplus value. This system fosters inequality and class conflict. Personal Property: Marxists do not object to personal property. They acknowledge the need for individuals to own items for their personal use and enjoyment. This includes things like clothing, furniture, books, and even a house for living in, as long as it's not used to extract surplus value from others. Marxist Critique: The core of the Marxist critique lies in the idea that private property in the means of production creates an unequal power dynamic. This leads to exploitation, alienation, and social problems inherent in capitalism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_property The Wikipedia link above, scroll down to where it reads, Personal vis-à-vis private property.
  9. Personal property yes, but so did Communist regimes. Small business? Disputable. Is that small business owned by its employees? Or by the petite bourgeoise?
  10. This is false. The word democratic in democratic socialism refers to a liberal democratic multi-party system, so the means of production are still going to be publicly owned and private property largely abolished, but its going to come through and exist within a multi-party electoral system. Granted, democratic socialists are more so opposed to centrally planned state socialism, but that doesn't mean they support private enterprise, for which they largely don't. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_socialism Socialism, and even social democracy, is not about the welfare programs that the government provides, it has nothing to do with healthcare, its about employee ownership and employee self management. Democratic socialists and social democrats just disagree on the degree and scale. DemSocs wants it full 100%, whereas as SocDems want it, hypothetically lets say... 50% or less.
  11. Even to describe Scandinavia as socially-democratic is not accurate, as social democracy is worker self management within a capitalist market economy, which Scandinavia doesn't have.
  12. Socialist direction? There’s so semblance of workplace democracy or employee ownership anywhere in Scandinavia. The public ownership of the means of production.
  13. Update: Zohran won the first round of primary elections.
  14. None of the Scandinavian countries are properly Socialist. They are Capitalist economies with large welfare states.
  15. Is it this book?
  16. Voting officially begins today! https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/06/24/us/elections/results-new-york-primary.html Lets see if we can have a socialist elected in America's financial capital.
  17. This criminally underrated blog post from Leo explains it all: https://www.actualized.org/insights/why-bernie-sanders-lost
  18. BREAKING: Iran's Parliament announces that Iran is seeking to pass a bill suspending all cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), meaning no more inspections from international bodies. https://t.me/Middle_East_Spectator/20883
  19. The quote I have in my bio is ironic, I'm not a Muslim.
  20. But what justification did America have to invade Iraq? What about Syria and Libya? These countries want nuclear weapons because they saw what happened to those countries.
  21. According to Wikipedia, 8,000+ Israeli citizens have been made homeless and 3,800+ Israeli citizens have been displaced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran–Israel_war * *Look at the right information table where it reads, casualties and losses.
  22. The only thing having a nuclear weapon does is prevent the United States from invading that country. That is all, and that is why Iran wants a nuclear weapon.
  23. Christianity is personality cult and no Christian is awake.
