[based on the famous meme by Tom Gauld, two completely identical realms are facing each other, with labels]

OUR DEMOCRACY UNDER ATTACK
Our irresponsible students blocking their schools
Our violent rioters destroying public property
Our ultraleftists firing MORTARS at the police
Our courageous police dealing with anarchist violence

THEIR BRAVE FIGHT AGAINST AUTHORITARIANISM
Their courageous students standing up to tyranny
Their ingenious barricades of resistance
Their protesters firing back with fireworks
Their brutal riot police crushing dissent

[a character smiles, while holding a box that reads]
WHATEVER PEOPLE WITH OPPOSING POLITICAL BELIEFS CURRENTLY DISLIKE

These are my opinions
I do not understand nor care what is in the box
If its contents change, so will my opinions
I have a strong and consistent morality

[the character's face is zoomed on, they are now grinning in an annoying way]

[a TV host speaks, paper in hand]
On today's show, we'll be discussing worker's rights and whether socialist policies could improve society.
To ensure a fair and balanced debate, we've invited a diverse panel of experts relevant to this topic…

[hands clasped, wearing a huge gold bitcoin chain and an obvious wig, a character smirks]
…first, Alexandre De La Bourgeoisie Royale, a self-made crypto-AI entrepreneur who works tirelessly every day from 5AM to 11PM and thinks the average worker is a lazy slob…

[a finger up, wearing rectangular glasses, a character in a brown suit is ready to argue]
…next, Neo L. Beral, a prized economist known for his essays Why We Should Raise The Retirement Age By Ten Years and Taxing The Rich Would Ruin The Country…

[arms crossed, wearing a red cap and a cross necklace, a character in a high visibility suit frowns]
…and finally, representing the workers themselves, John "Class Traitor" Mussolini, head of the beloved Christian Conservative Trade Union For Surrendering Your Rights.
Let's get started!

[a character holds a lever connected to rails, on which a train is approaching fast]
A train is approaching fast…
Many people are tied to the tracks…
As a bystander, I can do only one thing in this current moment: flip a lever, which would send the train to another track where it would also kill people, but less of them

[next to another separate railway track, someone is trying to get the first character's attention]
Hey you, over there, look!
There is a third track here!
It is not connected to the other tracks, but there are zero people tied to it, so if you do not choose to send the train on this third track right now you are an evil genocide enabling liberal

GIVING POOR PEOPLE MONEY REDUCES CRIME MORE THAN GIVING COPS THAT SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY
CONCLUSION
If you want to reduce crime, take care of your community's primary needs instead of funding cops so much

[Wikipedia's logo is speaking to us]
Did you know Wikipedia is a truly neutral encyclopedia which strives hard to have zero ideological bias

[purple is browsing the Wikipedia page "Mass killings under communist states"]
Very informative page, I can't wait to learn more on this topic and the history of the world in general

[purple is asking a question]
So I'm assuming you've got similar articles for mass killings under capitalist, or fascist, or colonial states, right?

[Albert Einstein looks at us]
Unlimited competition leads to a huge waste of labor, and to the crippling of the social consciousness of individuals.
This crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism.
I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy

Endless rehearsal (europe.pub)

[Mark Fisher is looking in the distance, past us]
One of the left’s vices is its endless rehearsal of historical debates, its tendency to keep going over Kronstadt or the New Economic Policy rather than planning and organizing for a future that it really believes in.
The failure of previous forms of anti-capitalist political organization should not be a cause for despair, but what needs to be left behind is a certain romantic attachment to the politics of failure, to the comfortable position of a defeated marginality.
