https://youtu.be/wO7fJpwTzTI this is a really good example of how progressive people / demsocs are really weird and misinformed. they dont really understand like the processes of capital, and therefore like gesture at "lefty opinions" but dont have a coherent philosophy to back it up

i had this convo with my parents like 2 days ago, where i absolutely bit the bullet. stealing is legitimate regardless of the size of the firm, stop appealing to shit like "they can handle the loss" very silly, as destiny rightfully calls out. the waffling around is really weird

ofc that doesnt speak to it as a strategy, there are plenty of things that are philosophically justifiable that are nonetheless nonadvisable. its really awkward to see opinions expressed like this, and unfortunatley it makes progressive dems look like there really is no

alternative. that being said, i havent fully grappled with the difference between individual commodities and private property like land, which the latter is clearly illegitimate. I've been thinking about production for exchange and the primitive accumulation of resources

for the commodities, as well as things like intellectual property that are also clearly illegitimate. So I'm fairly confident in my stance, but I would still like to read more about it specifically.

also bonus meme. yesterday at YDSA we spent a ton of time talking about what to do about AOC voting present on iron dome isreal stuff (like 450-9 vote btw lmao) and about how they're weak for not "forcing the vote". cringing super hard
