"I agree with Communism, except literally every country to try and do communism." I love these sorts of takes lol

Many countries here in South America lived through some form of socialism

...with an often overlooked caveat that the US imperial empire, through the CIA, has staged coups, assassinations, embargos, sanctions, color revolutions, political meddling, contra scandals, and outright genocide during that time. The expressed purpose of all of that was to cause as much human suffering as possible, in order to get people to hate their government.

So, for us Peruvians, we live what I am warning through the decade of the 80s.

Peru has never been a Socialist state, although I will give it to you that there was a significant socialist movement during that time.

The presidents of that time, first Fernando Belaúnde Terry (who focused on housing, but not on security which lead to the formation of Sendero Luminoso) and the Alan Garcia ( whose strategy was similar to what AOC is doing right now, while enacting most socialist programs like price control, and healthcare (in reality, an oversaturation of the dangerously lackluster service (further context: it was common to die from diarrhea here))), had a socialist government which worsened the situation until the next government of Alberto Fujimori.

So, just to be clear, ... there was never a Socialist society during that time, correct? You only had a leftish government, surrounding by US meddling, literal genocide, and death squads of Communists and supporters. Socialism doesn't mean anti-market and doesn't mean "government does stuff".

Start organizing NOW. Get in touch with your local rapid response groups or other local orgs. Create a poll watch patrol and target high risk polling places. Report any suspicious people/activity, and response with people to protest and video it.

I'll take the bait. In what way, specifically, did you suffer under socialism?

We've been organizing and mobilizing our own poll watch response groups.

Since you proclaim to be a Leftist, what's wrong with Lemmy?

~~piefed already blocks by default lemmy.ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad. lol ... it's just a lib echo chamber.~~ I stand corrected.

We're canvassing business on the weekends, in high risk communities: Bensenville, Elgin, West Chicago, Joliet, Bolingbrook.

Reach out for info if you'd like to help canvass

No wonder we’re losing to the fascists

I repeat: What organizing have you accomplished?

Blocked.

I ain't reading all that. Free Palestine.

Then provide a counter-argument.

Come on dude... this is not a good faith argument and not worth my time. "Why protest bombing their schools when they hang gays?" JFC...this is an absolute troll post.

how are you ever going to achieve momentum to build the system you seek?

I'm sorry, what have you done lately? I've fought with Proud Boys, I've marched with strikers and donated to mutual aid support, I help get progressives and socialists elected to local positions, I fight against ICE and am active in rapid response teams, I fight for LGBTQ+ and immigrants and minorities, I fight for a free Palestine, I've marched with teachers unions, etc

What organizing have you accomplished?

"Top 10 lies the USA wants you to believe. You won't believe #1!"
