Late Stage Capitalism

735 users here now

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, anti-communism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

We NEED to Give a Foreign Country FULL ACCESS to our Taxdollars and Military Intelligence!

-America First People!

Kinda feel like both of these countries aren't going to be here much longer.

Slow motion invasion. Israel is colonizing America for money and bodies to fight their wars.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 6 points 4 months ago (4 children)

As much as I hate Israel, no. Israel is being allowed to pull this shit by the American political establishment because ultimately Israel and America's goals in the region align. Of course by America's goals I mean the goals of the American ruling class. Israel sucks, but for the most part they're an extension of America's will.

Yeah, and the Roman Empire lasted until 1453, but that doesn't mean what people think of when they say Roman Empire didn't collapse in 476 (and the Byzantine Empire in 1204).

Whatever's left of the USA in a few decades might call itself USA (well, one or two bits of it might, others most definitely won't), but it evidently won't be the USA as we understand it today, and neither would any hypothetical future union or coalition of those fragments.

I fucking hate this guy. He's on the Sunday morning shows all the time, and he's a straight up MAGA traitor. No doubt he's in the unreleased Epstein Files.

Wasn't the CIA founded with the former head of the SS and many of their staff...i am willing to be wrong but I seem to remember reading something about that when we brought the Nazi scientists and all that...

[–] sudo@programming.dev 20 points 4 months ago

Operation Paperclip was real but the CIA wasn't founded by (German) Nazis. IIRC NATO had ex-nazis in its founding but they were like Wehrmacht or politicians not SS.

Now the CIA did organize former SS agents in West Germany to act as terrorists/partisans should the Soviets invade in the German version of Operation Gladio.

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 6 points 4 months ago

You’re possibly confusing the CIA with the Gehlen Organisation, set up by US intelligence in the US zone of occupation, with the eponymous head having been head of Wehrmacht military intelligence for the Eastern Front. It later was absorbed into the BND (W German intelligence).

Operation Paperclip

Seems like Cotton knows the winds changing, and is trying to legislate that the weather vane be welded in place before it does.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

This tells me Mr. Cotton's on video in Israel's databases doing unspeakable things.

Every republican will vote for this and 6 democrats.

Lefties on lemmy will immediately tell you it's the democrat's fault.

[–] ironycanal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 4 months ago

Always just enough dems for it to happen. Always in safe seats or not running for reelection, always....

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 24 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I never really understand these comments. Like what do you all expect exactly? We already think the Republicans are bad. They're the bad guys. They're the villains. We expect them to do the bad thing. They're all fascists who are trying to murder a lot of us.

I just don't understand what you're expecting from me with these kind of comments. Congratulations? I mean saying that most of you don't vote with Republicans is like bragging to me that most of you haven't raped someone today. You want a cookie?

As a uniparty they alway find just enough votes for their legislation to pass.

The good news is it won't be full bipartisian. Plenty of junior politicians know which way the wind is blowing here. But its still going to pass and it will be largely bipartisan.

"forever" lol. Laws can be un-made little man.
