| Paper_Okami 06/06/20 9:53:59 PM #23 | i started really getting radicalized in like i dunno, fall 2017 and it almost feels like a radicalize further every day. though it def wasn't my first brush with socialism and i was def on always was on the leaning left end of the spectrum. Like i read a book about the black panthers by junior year of college and absolutely loved it. So many lies have been told about that organization there are lot of interesting radical figures in our county's history and many outside it as well James Baldwin is one of the most celebrated writers of any nationality in the 20th century and he was a socialism Lucy Parsons, Emma Goldman, Angela Davis, Bell Hooks, Ella Baker, Big Bill Haywood, Joe hill, Eugene Debs, Mother Jones etc Ursula L Guin is one of the most acclaimed sci-fi/fantasy writers ever and her books depict post-capitalist, egalitarian societies. Kim Stanley Robinson who wrote the Mars trilogy is a socialist It's been made into a dirty word, and another effect has been the demonizing of unions. Union membership used to be so high. I'd highly recommend the film Sorry to Bother you by Boots Riley, which is a populist movie, easy to enjoy but thought provoking and based off his communist framework. I think he's one of the smartest people right now. And he's also a talented rapper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acT_PSAZ7BQ he's the scarecrow in this video A lot of Americans seem afraid to ask for something better. We've been fed so much propaganda about America, and so much propaganda about other countries. Those countries have to be perfect or they're bad, and then the u.s or britain or other big western countries do numerous awful things and those same people ask for nuance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npkeecCErQc&t=2s i really like this video i have one of parenti's book as well People don't realize how bad Batista who ruled before the Cuba revolution was. (he was u.s backed) And that the standards of living are so much higher than they were, even with decades of u.s sanctions. The u.s condemns cuba, and yet they caused the cuban missile crisis by initiating the bay of pigs invasion. We're allowed to meddle in the affairs of other countries, and they aren't allowed to respond or defend themselves. Like is Cuba perfect, of course not. But the u.s has no right to criticize. and the u.s condemns every socialist country as ruled by dictators, has invaded those countries and tried to destroy them. And yet they've propped up dictators everywhere. The contras in Nicaragua killed children and raped nuns, u.s backed them. The u.s helped oust the Iranian prime minister in the 50s because he wanted Britain to stay out and leave their oil alone. They installed a puppet, who was then overthrown. In the 50s it was a secular democracy, now it's an islamic republic. All because Iran wasn't allowed to control its own resources. We backed the anti-communist pinochet in chile, who killed thousands. But it's ok because he hated communism. People harp on and on about North korea and love to ignore the south korean dictator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chun_Doo-hwan he massacred thousands of koreans, but the u.s was ok with him, because he was anti-communist. We love to denounce situations we helped cause like the deeper i get into it, the more i realize just how deep the rot is. and there are plenty of people and groups out there willing to educate people about radical subjects, for little to no money --- "Conceit, arrogance and egotism are the essentials of patriotism"- Emma Goldman "Wimmy Wham Wham Wozzle!" -Slurms MacKenzie |

| Paper_Okami 06/06/20 9:03:42 PM #21 | i mean's there's a bunch of research on the subject by radical thinkers and activists over the past couple decades https://www.versobooks.com/books/2426-the-end-of-policing i have this book but i still nee do to read it and there's a bunch of prison abolition stuff but to me this is what helped click the possibility of prison abolition working https://benjarman.info/2011/12/walpole/ TLDR: One of the most violent prisons in america has a riot, guards are expelled and the prisoners run the prison. The prison became one of the safest in the country. it was one of the single things that really helped me radicalize in so many ways there are also self-run communes in Mexico, and Syria that aren't controlled by a government, but are self-sufficient communities as well as native american tribes with significantly more egalitarian practices https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebel_Zapatista_Autonomous_Municipalities#Criticism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rojava like not perfect, but i think they're a possible look at a better world, where we run our own communities not competing with each other, but collaborating for the betterment of everyone i'm def interested in reading a ton more about stuff like this --- "Conceit, arrogance and egotism are the essentials of patriotism"- Emma Goldman "Wimmy Wham Wham Wozzle!" -Slurms MacKenzie |

| Paper_Okami 06/06/20 8:40:05 PM #19 | i just hope people don't get complacent because a dem is president. A lot of these cities that have some of the worst brutality are dem run cities in dem run states (though almost all the big cities are dem run, 35 of the top 50). NYC, LA, Portland, Seattle, Minny etc All these issues are bipartisan. The housing prices in big cities are out of control, and they keep building luxury condos that most people can not afford. And a lot of the people that buy them, do not even live in them. They are an asset. continue to demand we at the very least, get what other countries get in terms of a safety net, wage, healthcare, education etc Minny being the center of the protests is thus far the only city that looks like it could actually achieve something at this early point of the protests. With their calls to dismantle the police department and one of the city council members attempting to do so https://twitter.com/EamonWhalen/status/1269398760049737728 lol --- "Conceit, arrogance and egotism are the essentials of patriotism"- Emma Goldman "Wimmy Wham Wham Wozzle!" -Slurms MacKenzie |

| Paper_Okami 06/06/20 8:24:09 PM #17 | ImAMarvel posted... "black-on-black crime" they also LOVe to ignore that black communities FREQUENTLY talk about violence happening in their communities also they love to ignore that poor communities are more violent, and black people are disproportionately poor due to 150 years of systematic racism after the abolition of slavery. Put resources/ money into communities and watch them thrive. If wealthy white suburban communities became poor, crime would start soaring. Because of desperation. Poverty is bad, racism is bad. The two combined are extremely destructive Make sure people have a living wage, healthcare, got a place to sleep, got stuff to do in their free time, are feed and clothed, have access to good education and things will be a lot better. Will racism go away? Absolutely not but it will alleviate many of the symptoms. But the united states refuses to offer things that most other countries have. there would certainly be protests for george floyd, but i think the conditions right now in this moment, helped contribute to how big and widespread they are. Mass unemployment, government not providing for those people. I believe there is something like over 50% of black adults unemployed right now, which is insane. Economic crisis + another racist police murder I hope this moment is seized, and doesn't fizzle out. I hope this can be used to demand systematic change in not just the justice system, but housing, healthcare, education etc. because all those are infected by racism too --- "Conceit, arrogance and egotism are the essentials of patriotism"- Emma Goldman "Wimmy Wham Wham Wozzle!" -Slurms MacKenzie |
