How socialist feminism differs from liberal feminism: “There is the exploiter woman of the middle class and the exploited woman of the working class.” —Eleanor Marx

"I hear it always. I hear the scream. I know he's waiting for me on the other side." - Mercader (Last Words) Trotsky was killed and still scarred the guy through pure aura up until his death decades later lmao.

‘Trotsky said long ago that unification is impossible. Trotsky understood this and from that time on there has been no better Bolshevik.’ (Lenin to the Bolshevik Petrograd Committee, 1917).
“Parlayan her şey altın değildir. Troçki'nin sözlerinde çok parıltı ve gürültü vardır, fakat bunlar anlamsızdır.” — V. İ. Lenin, Birlik Çığlıkları Altında Birliğin Bozulması, Mayıs 1914, Toplu Eserler, Cilt 20, s. 325–347. İngilizce metinden çeviri * * * Lenin, bu eserinde Troçki'nin hizipler üstü birlik çağrılarını eleştirir. Ona göre ideolojik ayrılıkların üzerini örten, devrimci ilkelerden yoksun bir birlik söylemi, işçi sınıfının örgütsel mücadelesini güçlendirmek yerine zayıflatır. Gerçek devrimci birlik, soyut uzlaşmalarla değil, ortak bir siyasal çizgi ve devrimci pratik temelinde kurulabilir.

Defending my decision to attend the White Victims of the Nat Turner Slave Rebellion vigil at the height of American slavery
Zohran Mamdani is defending his decision to attend an October 7 vigil, arguing that politics should never determine whose deaths deserve to be mourned. ⠀ "There must be room in our politics to mourn everyone who has been killed," Mamdani says, calling for universal compassion and opposition to all war crimes. ⠀ He insists that recognizing human suffering means refusing to pick and choose which lives deserve sympathy.

Putting the working class first by destroying union jobs with NAFTA, validating Reaganism ("ending welfare as we know it,") and cutting the capital gains tax.
Replying to @ThirdWayMattB
Bill Clinton, the godfather of the modern center left, was obviously a moderate, the OG New Democrat, and he insisted we needed to put the working class first. This was our campaign book: 6/

Boston University sociologist Zine Magubane makes use of Touré Reed's concept of "race reductionism" to argue liberal elites have entirely racialized poverty and are trying to address it only by giving prizes. nonsite.org/contemporary-rac…

Trotsky foi o maior defensor da revolução russa, ele a defendeu até seu último suspiro. Tudo isso para vermos esses imbecis reivindicarem o ignaro que enterrou a revolução na Rússia e em vários outros países. Reivindicam aquele que roubou nosso futuro. Ignorantes.
degenerado era o trotsky, stalin eh o verdadeiro herdeiro do marxismo-leninismo

I love it when Stalinists put "antirevisionist" in their profile because Stalinism is straight up revisionism but they're too illiterate to know it

"April Theses" was Lenin officially embracing Permanent Revolution as the basis of the Russian Revolution. Stalinist haters can cry about it all they want, but it's just a fact.

You literally declared the pandemic over when hundreds of people were dying daily. You never wore a mask every time you had covid and exposed it to the people who had to work with you.
I want to share a brief update. My presidential memoir, PROMISE ME, AMERICA, is coming out on November 17th. I hope you'll read it. It covers my years as President. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made, and why I made them. It's about who we are as a nation. What we stand for. And America's role in the world. More than anything, it's about my faith in the American people and the great American experiment in self-governance and democracy. While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families. My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I've responded to treatment. And the prayers and kind words and well wishes from so many of you have meant more to me and Jill and our family than you can ever know. Some days are better than others. It hasn't stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. What that means is, unfortunately, I won’t be able to do as many conversations about my book as I’d hoped. However, I’m hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves. Looking forward, I'm going to keep following what my father told me a long time ago: "Champ, when you get knocked down, get up." It's a good lesson for me. And for America. We are blessed. America is the most unique nation on earth. Unlike other countries, we're built on an idea. An idea bigger than any ocean. More powerful than any army. Stronger than any tyrant or dictator. That idea? All of us are created equal. Promise Me, America, we'll never forget it.

Nothing says "Ukrainian Sovereignty" like a dozen bases of that famous leftist organization, the CIA, actively collaborating with that country's neo-Nazis, right next to a country for whom "punching Nazis" is not the performative flex it is for "American Liberals". 🙄

Referring to people horrified by the live streamed mass murder of women and children as "Palestinian nationalists" may get a chuckle in your group chats and Georgetown dinners. But you should probably not use that one in public as it's vile.
The different strands of progressive (economic populists, greens, the “talking about immigration is good for Dems” people, the Palestinian nationalists) don’t like to debate the tensions between these positions so they all focus on yelling at me which is good for my business. 😎

Historically, figures for the ruling class and the status quo are more likely to be glass ceiling-breakers, for obvious reasons. Jeffries becoming House speaker is a victory for horizontal equality among the top 10%, but not for anything democratic or worth praising.
CNN: Hakeem Jeffries responds to DSA supporters who chanted "You're next!" at victory party "It was very interesting to me, as observed by others, that there was almost zero diversity in that crowd." Link: edition.cnn.com/2026/11/08/p…

if you're wondering why there are people vigilantly masking in 2026, you're part of the reason
Oh and the last thing I’ll say is the reason those of us who take precautions have to be SO extreme is bc everyone else is doing nothing. Like yall are NOT helping AT ALL. Won’t stay home sick, won’t mask when sick, won’t mask in healthcare settings, won’t mask on planes
