seeing ppl asking for the difference: a leftist is opposed to capitalism, wants to fight the sources of racism, sexism, war etc whereas liberals are generally pro capitalism & only superficially engage in activism without changing the system - to keep the current power structure Image
people are often "forced" to join the military by life circumstances (no access to healthcare,education, etc). that's also a reason the us wants to keep life miserable for ppl. i think we can all safely assume the person on the right wanting to re-enlist is not an example of that

i am the first person to say "don't give up", or "never lose hope", but it still needs to be said that class conflict is not child's play, the ruling class and their PR are far more powerful and intricate than we can imagine, we have to be both relentless AND smart
they have access to trillions of funding, while we have crumbs. they can convert the working class to their ideology, and there is not a lot we can do about it, at least it is not easy at all.
while it is true that in the long run, truth and moral principles prevail, it is foolish to think that we'll be able to just wait and "other ppl" will figure stuff out. justice needs to be taken, fought for, suffered for. don't be a passive observer, YOU need to be a part of this

you defending, retweeting or liking the project associated with a conservative islamophobe does NOT make you a leftist. end of discussion

fascism is NOT beaten, the US is only taking a short-term painkiller with a bad taste.

as trump is losing this election, it is important to understand the seeds of fascism, which is neoliberalism. THREAD
it's not wrong to be happy about the defeat of a right-wing maniac, but don't be fooled, the dangers of nationalistic fascism are not over. more importantly, we are seeing a new type of fascism, a "globalized" fascism, which is less overt, more dishonest, adaptive & resilient
the power elites have predominantly coalesced around biden, and for good reasons. first of all, trump was a threat to the free flow of capital: the main concern of capitalists today is that their exploitation is unhindered by protectionist measures.
