There is an implicit assumption that the status-quo in the US can't possibly be bad, because people wouldn't stand for it. Of course, when people do choose to stand against it, it'…

If I'm allowed to ask "What should we do about the Jewish Question" in a manner that appears civil, it's still not a civil discussion, regardless of the tone. If someone responds "…

It's not intentionally incendiary when it's largely true.

> ICE detainees > release all the prisoners ICE detainees aren't prisoners. ICE are facists holding people in concentrations camps. They should absolutely be released.

Sure, but if that is your position you should go out and advocate for this better thing instead of bemoaning the efforts other people are making as misplaced. This shows up anytime…

Right, but you're questioning a position that doesn't really exist. Pretty much everyone that is a strong advocate for labour protections would also like universal healthcare, it's…

The other side doesn't need convincing. Their class interests are directly opposed to those who most need universal healthcare. Poor people die all the time in america because heal…

How about a complete abolition of capital?

It's not so much that HN isn't 'open', but there is a wide double-standard in the evidence required for libertarian-right arguments vs leftist arguments. See this thread: https://n…

Of course, everything is ideological. I'm a socialist so I'm plenty familiar with going against the status-quo and my HN karma reflects that. I'm arguing against hiding your ideolo…

Because there are a thousand other practical solutions people have presented that you're ignoring in deference to your ideological motive that you don't like taxes.

I fully agree with you. This insane attitude of "my ill-gotten capital is worth more than your existence" is pathetic and sad.

Maybe you can try using your giant 'logical' brain to postulate why that isn't a good idea? You're suggesting making a fucking ghetto for homeless people? Are you serious? This thr…

Why don't you offer an alternative solution then? Throwing the homeless people in jail is ineffective and immoral. If your solution is drug treatment programs, great, but then don'…

There are many, it's a very old, very well thought-out tradition. Try reading Kropotkin, or from a more modern perspective, Richard Wolff. However, it doesn't align with the curren…

Your claim this isn't whataboutism is interesting based on a quick reading of your comment history. It sure doesn't appear that you actually care about these other issues or you're…

Yes, thinking of funds like this as cash flow is absolutely a mistake. Strong democratic ownership of capital will be necessary for true democratization of society, and this is an …
