At this point I believe the democrats are deliberately trying to boost Trump's approval rating.
Why? So they justify their own right wing turn? They want to work across the aisle? Idk pick whatever reason you want.
I guess normalizing Trump does ward off any revolutionary potential in the population, so maybe it's not so farfetched.
So like, when people say we can't increase wages because it will result in higher prices, are they also against investing in useless things like this because it will increase prices? I've heard people say the former alot, rarely have heard the latter.
I've also made the mistake of taking the bait and debating these people, which in my experience never leads anywhere
Definitely have to be careful. What I try to focus on when I talk to people are just the facts, because those are neutral and indisputable. But if you ever talk to someone who knows they can't argue against the facts, they'll resort to straw man arguments where the conversation then turns to establishing definitions (e.g. What is socialism?)
Providing millions from the billions of dollars they made causing the fires
I actually think material reality can be just as compelling as the fake conspiracy theories, but lib media doesnt really do material analysis. Instead they try to soften the truth and hide certain facts so that in the end there is no satisfying solution. E.g. they won't come out and say we need to regulate these companies that create 80% of our fossil fuel emissions, instead we need to all individually do better and buy less treats
Hell I feel apart something bigger by being a leftist 
One of things I realized going back home is just how much of a bubble suburbanites are in. I mean I always knew this ever since I moved out of the suburbs, but it started to dawn on me how that warps your political conscious.
For example how am I supposed to convince a suburbanite that homeless is not just a natural outcome of laziness but a conscious choice by the capitalist system? These people see a homeless person maybe once in a year. They are just so far removed from how the capitalist system fails people. And it's so easy to get them to be hostile towards immigrants because they are in this bubble where the status quo must be preserved forever and anything that challenges that is bad.
I realized that you can't really reason with them because they are in this bubble and you are speaking a different language than them when you talk about reality.
I'd be interested if anyone has done any marxist analysis on suburban/urban/rural living conditions and what can be done about it, cause it just seems hopeless
The Antichrist is supposed to cure the blind?
So does that mean the Mahdi and Jesus are also alive and will kill him?
My understanding of class is it's defined by your relationship to capital. A shareholder or landlord could do labour, but that doesn't make them working class
Lol even he's becoming disillusioned

Crazy that it was written by a republican. Though republicans back in that era were much different than the ones today and I think even Herbert was quite unique among them.
Oh god, I'm embarrassed for him
