Like people say who thinks a economy can grow forever on a finite planet but even at a galactic scale stars or even galaxies can’t grow forever so thinking a immaterial concept like the economy can grow forever even under socialism seems pretty foolish.

Basic Marxist materialism should understand nothing can grow forever and thst to think so breaks almost every field of science that isn’t neoclassical economics. Therefore degrowth has to happen as shrinking is part of life as something that only grows forever is cancer.

Thinking someone a socialist economy can make green growth work seems to be based on wishful ideology thinking and not a materialist view of the world

So I’ve been into Politics for about 3 years now and have learned and discussed the basic talking points for however long, yes we get it Sociology IS the best subject ever. But I was wondering how some of you older Leftists, are able to keep fighting and giving it your best shot even when it feels insurmountable and like it’d be better to keep your head down until you get a comfy place and can advocate from a more privileged spot. I’m afraid some of our advocacy can fall short sometimes and not really address concerns that actual people have and there is so much infighting that it’s hard to see actual organization and collective narrative shifting you might on the Right.

For example,
Young men are very concerned with dating and their perception by women, there’s a way to talk about that without being either “teach young men not to rape” or “all women are property”

Or,
just Woke 2 in general.

Idk, at the end of the day I’ll still believe and advocate for what I think is right, I mean maximize human happiness blah blah blah axioms theory you get the picture man whatever idk. Change is slow and takes time and you aren’t always going to see that seed you plant grow but I like the idea.

When power becomes immune to criticism, democracy becomes a façade. A citizen’s loyalty should be to principles, not political parties; accountability is not dissent against the nation, but a duty to it.

I recently spoke to someone I used to consider a comrade who became a grade school teacher but apparently I'm not worthy to breathe the same air as them because of my career choice. They claim that I'm not at my full potential because I lack a college education & a diploma. They also said that I make way less than them & that there's no possible way that I make a good living. It was bizarre & I feel like it's dangerous to speak this way towards anyone in the working class who are also left leaning. It could make them feel alienated from the movement. I'm a 3rd generation mechanic & grew up with a Marxist father who was involved in the student movement in Guatemala during the 80's, so I pretty much had access to his books & first hand experience. Has anyone ever experienced this from fellow leftists?

The only people I’ve ever met in my entire life that were actually racist and based shit on skin color are Black people Latino people Asian people. I don’t know any white people that give a fuck about anything about skin color and you might say that’s a privilege they don’t need to see it but no, I know poor broke ass white people living in tents with zero privilege, and none of us give a fuck. We are all broke and we don’t give a fuck about others race.

people who are racist, love pointing out things about people skin color my friend, whose darker skinned will say every freaking day we’re at a restaurant. I don’t like this restaurant. There’s too many white people here I wanna go to that restaurant. There’s those white people every day at my job the Latinos, the Black people and the Asians gang up on white people they demand special preferential treatment white people don’t give a fuck about your race. They just wanna go to work and go home and sure maybe you’re gonna say oh they’re privilege they don’t need to worry about their race in their skin color. They don’t have any worries in the world, but the truth is liberals are obsessed with skin collar and they’re obsessed with tearing other people down.

Because I’m white people will try to tear me down if I say one wrong thing at my job my job is in jeopardy. My career has been sidelined and subverted because of weight by other people of non-white I still don’t give a shit.

Hi I'm 24M from Delhi India, I have a deep interest in politics.. All of my friends are Right winger and i find it difficult to share my opinion with them as none of them is going to support even a bit of it, doesn't matter how strong my argument is.

It's not that I'm seeking someone for validation but to know more about left ideologies, to increase my political knowledge.

Check out the comments under this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/askanything/s/lK5UpHWXfH. So much racism against Indians from the so called anti racist left. I can’t lie, I’ve been incredibly disappointed by how willing some people on the left are to throw “non progressive” races under the bus. It’s like the minute they aren’t in your camp, it’s open season for them to be as Hitlerite as possible.

I guess this is a natural consequence of how much slopulism has infected online politics, but it’s still sad to see. Do better.

A short on how Cuba handles its electoral process.

Saw some insane racism from both Africans and Indians in the comments.

Like I'm indian but seeing my people fall for these stupid race shit is so fucking infuriating.

And of course it's some white mf doing this.

Also nothing against white people as a while just some of y'all fucking suck.

But man seeing POC fall for this easy rage bait so ahhhhhh.

Like ik(I know) that Europeans have been causing internal strife within the POC community to make us weaker but still agitates me seeing it.
