If it is not contextualized that way, then it just becomes another item on the internally contradictory American political ideology buffet.

Excellent way of framing it. Americans have no coherent political ideology, so the goal should be to introduce one to them.

Divorce him two or three times as a threat. Just enough to keep him in line.

Things that happened in the American South post Reconstruction. African American rights were taken away by force from the KKK, who installed their own governments.

"JUST BUILD GOOD PUBLIC HOUSING" I scream into the void as the abundance police beat me lifeless.

I read the Ezra Klein article where he sniffs his own farts. It's just public-private partnership policy which has defined the Democrats since Clinton, but with a little more social welfare and climate regulation. His grand theory is "corporations are the vehicle for power in the US" + "not all corporations are aligned on all goals" = "we need to work with corporations to build a better future".

So why are Democrats jumping on it as if it's something grandiose? Because it's a new way to tut tut the nascent left by saying "it's reductionist to say capitalism is the root of all bad things."

The majority of Americans supported the troops of the Kent State massacre at the time.

Yeah that's my read as well, drop regulations and start strip mining like it's Ghorman.

"That wasn't me talking, it was the K"

 

I've heard that the middle class doesn't exist, but I've also heard that the rising middle class was necessary for capitalism. Is there a principled definition, because China seems concerned about growing their middle class.

What does it mean to you, I guess?

 

Post your self crits. They can political or personal or perhaps even both.

 

The bad China takes are already flowing in, thank for your vigilance on banning reactionaries (after we get a couple comments in).

I voted for refederating but I had forgotten just how brain dead online liberals can be.
