Antisemitic incidents in the United States rose by about 400% in slightly over two weeks since war broke out in the Middle East after Palestinian Islamist group Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, advocacy group Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said Wednesday. Read more at straitstimes.com.

    Where does it say it has to be an individual? Workers could be the messiah

    Lmao no. Not how messiah narratives work lad. Messiahs are heroic individuals. Stories about groups overcoming oppression are called revolutions or rebellions. Read a fucking book, mate.

    you don’t “empathise with the capitalist” don’t lie to yourselves

    Yes, yes I do. Because I know if I were in that position, I’d feel pretty damn awful about it. It’s hard enough just giving orders to begin with. It’s not a position that should exist. We seem to intuitively understand this with kings, but somehow capitalists is too far for people these day.

      The people that “overthrow capitalism” would be considered heroic individuals too

      For example, Lenin’s mummy is exposed in a fucking public plaza in the capital of Russia like if he was a monument

        Nope, they would be working class getting what they deserve. Also, no one overthrew capitalism is Russia. They didn’t have capitalism to begin with. Learn your history. They also never ended up with communism, if that’s what you’re gonna say. They had a state capitalism. And the veneration of individuals ia another clue we’re not dealing with a system about the people.

        I just love how you keep trying to prove me wrong, but can only find examples that prove me right. It’s beautiful.

        I love you.

            Is a fly a real kangaroo? Definitions exist for a reason. Communism is stateless - the USSR had a state. Communism is moneyless - but they still used money. Communism erases class distinctions - guess what else? The USSR had class distinctions. Sorry buddy. You can tell me you have a car, but if it only has two wheels and no motor, it’s probably just a bicycle.

              I can try flying without a plane and then claim it wasn’t real flying when I fail

                It wasn’t real flying, though… literally! You just made my own point better than I could. Lmao.

                  I tried flying, I failed, then claimed it wasn’t real flying

                  I haven’t made you any point

                    Yes, because it wasn’t flying! To fly, a human needs tools, like a plane, helicopter or hang glider. Then you can achieve real flight. Just like real communism requires class consciousness and a proletariat willing to lead themselves in revolution to abolish capitalism, the state and class.

                    I see no possible way to interpret your statements as anything other than proving my point that things can only be achieved a certain way.
