One does, actually, by the definition of ‘left-wing’ politics, exclude the other.

Horseshoe theory and other ‘enlightened centrist’ viewpoints were created solely, and I do mean solely, to disrupt class consciousness. Nearly all propaganda you believe that make the USSR or China seem bad was created by the US wholesale, with some being created by criminals given extremely cushy paychecks for life for utilizing their background to give legitimacy to stories made up by people that never left the US.

‘Intolerance,’ doesn’t enter into it. Period. There isn’t any documented accounts of that from any left wing government. Period.

1945? Bank robbery is still incredibly easy. Literally all forensics is during this time period is just fingerprinting. People are also malnourished and incredibly weak compared to the average person in 2026. So beat up some GI that illegally kept a gun from the war, use that to perform a series of bank robberies along the west coast of the US and the American South (where Gold stores were concentrated during the gold standard period we find ourselves in).

After that invent corporate trusts and the concept of multi-layer corporate holdings. This would be having a corporation per property owned, which is owned by a corporation and uses services from another corporation, all of which eventually ends in a labyrinthine ownership path that few, if any, forensic accountants in the 1940s could possibly follow to find out it’s all just me.

By understanding, even just vaguely, which cities and areas get built up over time in history and buying surrounding properties cheaply and simply holding them until areas are built up enough to sell them for massive profit I would be able to generate essentially infinite money from basic seed money. Add onto this a series of bank and hedge fund holdings that are informed roughly when to invest in specific companies as they come up through the ages the infinite money glitch becomes an exponential money glitch.

Again layers and layers of holdings on holdings on holdings creates obscurity and complexity that would take well into the age of computers to ever unravel. A kingdom easily rivaling the Rothschilds, while being even more hidden as I’d be copying their modern techniques a half century before they perfect them.

With infinite exponential money during the golden age of capitalism I can wait until the present day when I’d no longer be effecting the timeline and then start funding communist revolutions globally, allowing for myself to become a martyr in the revolution.

Reddit is free you know.

It actually does, if they’re leftist.

Also define authoritarian in anyway that excludes any possible state you would support, and includes a state you’ve been told is authoritarian by people currently raping children in concentration camps.

Something something 40 gorillion christians killed by JEWISH bolsheviks something something 80 gorillion innocent light skinned practically white farmers murdered by the dark skinned commie dictator Mao because of his hate for their righteous struggle against the dark something something here’s a link to a National Endowment for Democracy funded site that self-cites all of its sources or cites only old british men that have never been shown to ever be within 10,000km of a chinese person.

Yes that is the popular theory post Epstein file release. Partially a joke, partially the best explanation we have for who paid the doctor to kill him. It was either the pedos or Sony, which is full of pedos.

Bro got taken out because he started exposing pedophiles. He spent his last few years being dragged in the press by parents that decided money was more important than their kids dignity or future reputation.

That level of fame essentially means you cannot possibly do actual good in the world or fight any powerful group. It’s not a level of fame where you could build a revolution, but its far too much fame to ever do anything positive in life.

It really does, as lumping in 2A with the rest of it, or suggesting ‘gun nuts’ are right-wing in general, or that there isn’t an incredibly large portion of the ‘gun nut’ community that is fully anti trump and has multiple armed anti-trump rallies speaks to your biases and beliefs. Those with ‘anti-gun’ or other extremist beliefs tend to ignore all information and news that goes against their belief. Pretending it is the right or republican voters that are the most ‘2A don’t tread on me gun nuts’ is denying the entirety of the existence of the left. I’ll admit there are few people openly left wing the in the united states since they started being literally hunted down and killed by the government starting in the 1880s, but they’re there, and they’re why dems keep losing when they introduce far-right policies like removing guns from a populace.

You’re either ignorant of reality, or you simply choose to believe an alternative reality that you’ve been brainwashed to believe. In either case the result of your comment would be Trump being the only one armed, which is antithetical to your own life, as well as the lives over ~95% of the US population.

Gun control cannot exist under liberal western democracy, much less during its inevitable decay into fascism. Period. It’s not a thing the population can allow, as liberal western democracy, which has so far only resulted in fascism, is far too unstable to allow that vulnerability.

If the 2A was actually as dangerous as liberal propaganda suggests, there wouldn’t be concentration camps in the US.

Don’t hold views that are only logically plausible while being those things then.

You aren’t, and that’s your own fault. Other people are getting armed, or are already armed, in order to help defend themselves against the government.

I’m sorry your cishet white male self isn’t feeling threatened by the US yet. You will. You’re not wealthy enough to escape them.

I don’t know why you think you want Trump armed and no one else armed to fight him, but I’d suggest taking Trump’s balls out your mouth.

It’s because both parties act as a ratcheting effect towards one singular goal. While there are minor disputes among the owners of the US on how best to reach that goal, they generally both agree that an armed populace is antithetical to their long term control, especially as quality of life continues to drop drastically across the population while they build their replacement for the working class.

Dems do their best to stall actual developmental progress (no kids, letting you buy insurance that has no coverage outside niche lifestyle conditions and letting gay people marry temporarily is not progressing society in any way) while republicans crank towards the shared goal by destroying progress and offering a ‘antiestablishment’ path that does nothing to harm the establishment.

If one side says ‘yeah totally, keeep your guns, fight for your guns,’ while doing everything to eliminate everything that actually matters for your quality of life, and the other side says ‘yeah sure we’ll improve your quality of life, but we want to take your guns,’ then both sides funnel different groups into a looped cycle where life objectively gets worse for the average person, but the average person doesn’t know how to blame so they just pick a team colour to hate for their lifetime.

Progress stopped in the 1960s in the US, and was dead in the water besides temporary privileges, not rights, after 1972.

I wonder wtf happened in 1972.

You’d have to have a palestinian epstein in that case and that’d be kinda weird.

Worse in many cases. Both have massive issues with corruption that negatively effect the military capabilities of the countries. ‘Military grade’ is literally the opposite of what marketers claim it as.

Hahahaha… no. It is the lowest quality highest expense piece of shit from a company that spent most of its money during the bid bribing those running the bid. Sorry not ‘bribing,’ simply giving gifts, dinners, and event invites.

Every single Harbor Freight tool is the same quality, and in many cases come from the exact same production line, as tools sold to the military that have a 100x mark up. This isn’t even a controversial fact. This is something every single service member that was a mechanic knows. The military pays $115 for a single hammer that will break exactly as fast as a $5 special. But the $115 hammer was made by a company that was made in Congressman Fuckwitzberg’s district and paid off the board members reviewing their app more than other brands.

…absolutely zero people that have been in the US military agree with your assessment. Doesn’t matter the branch or MOS.

No, there’s just no point in painting a burning car or swapping the door hinges during a house fire or putting lipstick on a pig post slaughter.

You have to fix the core of the problem before you start worrying about the minor details that cannot meaningfully exist without the initial problem being solved. Creating this currency would not solve any problems whatsoever with the current state of the world. It would not improve anything.

You know how I know that? Bitcoin was the thing you are describing. How’d that work out? The same way literally any digital currency will work out while the concept of capital is allowed to exist. It will be bought, hoarded, and narrowly metered out in the absolute best case scenario. And all possible frameworks that could possibly avoid that fate are just the concept of socialism dressed up in increasingly silly and decreasingly useful abstractions.

If you want to have a nice sailboat you don’t start with the deck trimming. You don’t even start with the sails. You start building the framework of the hull and then possibly get to the finer parts later, when what you have won’t just be dunked in the ocean because you think you don’t need the entire rest of the boat to have a boat.

What state? Because it cannot be any european state. It can’t be any state in the Americas. It can’t be most asian countries. It absolutely cannot be Australia.

There is no state that is both already uncaptured by capital and palatable enough to avoid sanctions in the west. Since that’s the actual only reason sanctions exist, to punish those not currently fully captured by capital holders.

So it cannot be state backed.

Can it be insured without a state? Maybe, but then whoever insures it sets the rules for it. This is the problem with the Federal Reserve owning USD versus the US government. Can it be physically backed without a state? No.

If this magically came into existence in a state and was even slightly effective, that state would magically be developing nuclear weapons the next day and invaded. Just a reminder Gaddafi was doing what you’re proposing… and global capital was so mad he was allegedly anally penetrated by machetes while the entirety of the country was effectively destroyed.

Any solution that gains traction developed by a state would get that state eliminated.

And any solution not made by a state will either be a scam, be monopolized by capital as its an asset and someone will be willing to sell it, or will simply not catch on since businesses would find no incentive to use it in large enough numbers to function. You’d need half of a country’s economy, at minimum, to switch to that new currency for people to effectively circulate it. Which is why bitcoin never took off as a currency. Which is why no crypto will ever really be used as a currency outside spot transactions. Your employees need to be able to pay their taxes with it. Which in any country means the government approves of it, which means its not a threat to them, which for 150 countries means it is not in any way a threat to capital and can be fully controlled by it.

It’s a good solution for global socialism. And socialist countries wanting to make that transition away from the last vestiges of capitalism might find utility in a state-issued digital currency… as long as capitalism does not exist anywhere at any point at that time. Because it just takes one economy where you can buy this digital currency like any other commodity in exchange for USD or other currency that can buy goods; just one to ruin everything.

Unfortunately what you’re suggesting is crypto. Which as we’ve seen isn’t really compatible with any world where capitalism still exists; as capitalists will just monopolize it.

The alternative to corporatism isn’t fascism, in fact they’re the same thing at different stages. Accepting the fascists because they are an ‘alternative’ to corporations is like accepting castration because it is an alternative dentistry.
