I haven't been on this forum all that long, but speaking for myself nobody has asked me to do so.

I don't hate anyone, don't assume that. I want Biden to resign. And Kamala, and most elected officials at the federal and state level. I want national referendums on things like funding the military and the police, and actual democratic elections - not these gerrymandered pretend elections we have. When I say "America must be destroyed" I do not mean dropping a giant bomb on it and killing all of us, I mean it must be metaphorically bulldozed and rebuilt

And lastly, once it has been rebuilt, America should commit its resources to helping the developing world it has exploited since its inception.

Hell, I wouldn't even have a problem with it keeping the capitalist system as long as it was being done in an ethical way, but I don't think that's really possible because I suspect it will always corrupt itself

Some folks claim it's the horseshoe theory, where if you go far enough to the left or the right on the spectrum, you end up meeting the people you're supposedly diametrically opposed to... I don't really buy it, even if I do sometimes ridicule liberals with the chuds.

Take Strasserites, for example. I may be an anti-capitalist but I'm not going to sit at the same table as one of those monsters.

"The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them." - Julius Nyerere
