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.
Yes, it’s all simplified to a battle between good workers and evil exploiters, and a messianic prophecy of the overthrow of the bourgeoisie and the stablishment of communism
Quote me where you heard this. Any socialist also sympathises with the capitalist.
So, who is the messiah? Socialists favour collective action over charismatic leaders.
Sympathise with “the capitalist” like the Nazis who wanted to send the Jews to Madagascar instead of killing them?
Also, you don’t seem to get metaphors, do you?
You just flip flopping don’t you? I thought you didn’t like moralising between good and evil? The sympathy is becuse capitalists must exploit in order to make a living, and if they’re a good person, it must be a hard thing to have to do.
Yes, I get it’s a metaphor and doesn’t literally mean a song of God leading people to tge promised land. But the metaphor means a hero or liberator at the very least: an individual leading their people out of oppression into freedom. Socialists don’t think like this. It should be a democratic, popular, grssroots movement not led by any individual.
Where does it say it has to be an individual? “Workers” could be the messiah
Also, no you don’t “empathise with the capitalist” don’t lie to yourselves
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.
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.
“that wasn’t real communism”
