I’m running around in leftist circles a lot since beginning of last year. I first got introduced to socialism through anarchism [stereotype alert] started to read and went pretty straight to communist and then ML pretty recently. The shoe is still new but it fits very well so far.

Whenever I bring up socialism and communism (let alone ML), I get a lot of flak from other leftists and especially from anarchists. Yet, I feel like a couple anarchist agitators sound like MLs just cosplaying. It would make sense as anarc kids are totally open for socialist ideas if one lets out the “science” part which irritates me a lot.

Does anyone have similar experience or is able to explain?

Btw pls let me know if this is inappropriate to ask. I dont mean to offend anyone.

    That assumes class war is war in any way aside from name. In this particular instance, death was definitely a premature outcome. Nothing else was even tried.

      This is just patently false. There have been numerous attempts at reform of the medical insurance industry and they have all been quashed. You must be quite ignorant to think that the vested interests of the rich have no effect on legislation and law. Frankly I find it pathetic and childish that you would try to say such obviously false things and expect that anyone would believe them. I think you have spent too long grooming gullible children online.

        I’m not sure how you gathered that thought (the ongoing slander about me maybe, though I would hope nobody sees deflection towards that from a discussion about death is fair). I know that the killer didn’t even try to not escalate things.

        Consider for a moment where we are six months later: a new CEO who is more or less the same as the old one with the same limited powers, industrial rules that haven’t changed because the system is more complicated than that, a dead CEO whose death sent a shockwave in his family and sphere of influence, and a killer who A) is either afraid to show himself, or B) was afraid and got caught after fleeing only to become a prison cult following, with his own health system not having changed because he never tried doing something like suing and was never insured with the CEO’s insurance to begin with (among other red flags that prop up).
