i think my favorite settler rejoinder is "just wait til you get a job and pay bills! then you won't like this socialism stuff!" like holy hell you became LESS class conscious when you joined the working class? lmao @ your life

@georgespolitzer hardly anyone in the West now joins anything historically recognisable as the working class. We are all bourgeois now.
Once the 'iron law of wages' turned out to actually be flimsy plastic the main rationale for socialism disappeared.
Which is why its advocates now have to manufacture ever more outlandish theories of why 'class struggle' is real, while ignoring the only real exploitative class (the political class) as that's the one they themselves want to join.

@soundnfury communism will win shut da fuck up ancap

@georgespolitzer bro do you even Hayek?
Still waiting to see any communist even begin to answer how they'd solve the Calculation Problem.

@soundnfury hayek was a fascist foh

@georgespolitzer "Many political words are similarly abused. The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies ‘something not desirable’." — George Orwell.

@soundnfury let me give you a hint: basically everyone in the chicago school of economics was recruited by fascist augusto pinochet to run Chile's economy into the ground. I'm not being euphemistic.

@georgespolitzer Not euphemistic, no; just historically illiterate. Goes well with your economic illiteracy tbh.
(1) Pinochet's règime, while totalitarian, was not fascist.
(2) Chile following the writings of the Chicago school does not equal them being 'recruited' by Pinochet. (Where are you getting this notion from, Nancy bloody McLean?)

@soundnfury lol, all political systems are totalizing jackass. and yes, pinochet's chile was fascist, what else would you call mass mobilized anticommunism? well i mean you personally would call it heaven lmao. but no, believing in climate change is not "economically illiterate" and calling a person of color illiterate twice in the same post is pathologically racist, hope this helps.
