An Actual Marxist, Angela Davis Endorses Kamala Harris.
An Actual Marxist, Angela Davis Endorses Kamala Harris.
PARIS—“Do I really have to answer that question? I’m certainly not voting for the person leading the Republican Party.” That was the response of communist icon Angela Davis when a journalist asked about her intentions for the 2024 U.S.
Threads like this are good because they highlight the ignorance and the malice of people. Half of the people here have no idea who Marx is.
Yeah lets vote thirdparty instead to elect trump, amIright?
Oh! I love Angela Davis!
That said, what a fucking weird world where she and Dick "Fuck You" Cheney are on the same side-- and somehow it's still a toss-up election.
Ah, a Marxist who has taken actual lessons from past failings of those who adhere to the ideology. How refreshing.
“But genocide!” - Dude, it’s gonna be genocide either way. Voting for a third party or abstaining entirely isn’t going to change that.
But it could be a slightly less painful genocide if Kamala is in charge. Why not help make things marginally better?
People who say "Kamela Harris supports genocide!" keep forgetting Trump literally put the Israeli Embassy in Jerusalem and wants to nuke everything...
I randomly remembered that Ben Shapiro claimed multiple times that radiation was a myth liberals made up to get people to not use nukes.... These Right Wingers are crazy
If you only see the choices where you don't sacrifice anything (between something prepared and served for you), you don't have a choice.
"Slightly less painful genocide" will not even be slightly less painful. But people there sacrifice lives, while you won't even sacrifice effort (and future efforts in court) to do something of a long list of actions which constitute political terrorism. You are not willing to even break law to defend people who are not being just abused, but murdered en masse in horrible ways.
Then you pretend with that cowardly logic that these are all choices you have, so you don't even want to take responsibility for choosing the easy and safe path of doing nothing.
“But when you reach that level,” nominee of one of the two major parties, “you have to be the face of capitalism, militarism, and neo-colonialism.” Harris, Fernandez warned, “has told us she will be that face, that she will build the most lethal military apparatus ever.”
Shit's bleak
She's someone I really want to deep dive, but I have never taken the time. Her monologue that begins at 1:24 minutes into this clip was my first exposure to her and I love that moment when you realize these awful examples she's citing are not just awful in their own right, but that they drive home her undeniable point at the end, in response to what sounds like it was a bullshit question.
The Venn diagram of the people who have an issue with this and the people who don't care that David Duke supports Trump is a circle
Just gonna wait for the "Well actually...!" posts 🍿
Therefore it's okay that we send billions in support of genocide. Don't kid yourself, there will be no open space after your only leverage (your vote) is no longer needed. This is basic bargaining.
Waving around one person as an example of "one of the good ones" with this "real marxist" talk is disgusting. These slimebag politicians only care about your vote and you'll see no change after the election, just like how Obama won and then continued most of Bush's policies.
You remember Bush, right? The war criminal who led the country into two wars and the worst financial crisis since the great depression? Well he used to be the monster of the week, but now he's best buds with the democrats and trump is the new monster of the week. I'm sick of this dog and pony show.
But you see this one Marxist endorsed Kamala, clearly everything she does (including genocide, cracking down on protests, increasing fracking, compromising with fascists, and further expanding capitalist tyranny) is for the good of the workers :3
