Some good reading for October about the spectre haunting Europe:

Manifesto of the Communist Party (1848) by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Marxist Audiobook.

No. You put brunch back on the schedule while conditions continued to worsen. Biden didn't fix anything, and once it was impossible for the Dems to pretend that he was competent to serve as POTUS they handed power right back to Trump after providing record funding for ICE.

The liberals siding with the fascists is what lead the Nazi party into power.

We don’t vote for Dem oppressors to stop GOP oppressors. We unite the working class to overthrow the SYSTEM of oppression. This “lesser evil” bs is what got us here.

And because October is Revolution month as well, here's a book about that:

"The State and Revolution" (1917) by Vladimir Lenin. Audiobook + Comments. Marxist/Socialist Theory.

DO NOT, under any circumstances, RSVP to a fucking protest? Are people nuts? What happens when Trump's FBI demands the list of Trump's political enemies, dipshits?

Indivisible ❌👑 @indivisible.org · 3d

Please pitch in if you can to help make next Saturday the biggest day of protest in US history! We’re seeing a surge in RSVPs and we need to match that enthusiasm with the resources and support that our groups, hosts, and volunteers need: secure.actblue.com/donate/indiv...

Meanwhile, Democrats AND Republicans built the systems that Trump is now using to go after his enemies and scapegoat the most vulnerable with his ICE thugs. ICE got record funding under Biden.

☭Josh Mosh☭ @joshmosh138.bsky.social · 46m

They reduce everything to the most recent election. Trump wins, things are terrible and everyone who didn't vote for their preferred not-Trump are to blame. Dems win, brunch is back on and nothing is wrong until the Dems lose again.

Their answers tend to be depressingly predictable too. Like yes, most white people did vote for Trump. But how the hell do "we" (white people) "clean up" a system designed to uphold white supremacy without involving everyone else? Liberals don't seem to understand solidarity

White America voted for this, it’s on us and not Black people to clean up. Period.

☭Josh Mosh☭ @joshmosh138.bsky.social · 9h

If you think that the problem we have is simply whether people voted the way you did or not, rather than a system designed to uphold capitalism and white supremacy regardless of how we vote, I'm gonna need you to read Lenin and watch some videos of Fred Hampton.

So... your answer to gerrymandering is more gerrymandering? What we need, and what will fix this country, is a proletarian revolution. But you're not ready for that conversation since you benefit from the status quo.

Her best shot for 2024 would have been using the 25th Amendment to sideline Biden, and then as acting POTUS stop all weapons shipments to Israel. If it was clear to us that Biden was incompetent after that first debate, it had to be clear to his inner circle the whole damn time he was POTUS.

☭Josh Mosh☭ @joshmosh138.bsky.social · 5h

People did protest her when she was an elected official running for POTUS. She didn't listen then. Now she's cashing in on throwing the election to Trump, and a likely candidate for the Dem nomination for POTUS in 2028. People have every right to protest her. She's still a public figure.

She made winning the general reliant on providing unconditional support for a fascist ethnostate.

You don't elect someone because you want to protest them.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

Is the economy crashing a recession indicator?

“Once rare, 7-year car loans are fast becoming the norm. They’re often the only way buyers can afford new rides, with average sale prices surging 28% in 5 years to approach $50k.”

Designed-in car dependency, surging car prices, longer loan periods with more interest.

Sound like “freedom” to you?

Cars are so expensive that buyers need 7-year loans

Once rare, seven-year car loans are fast becoming the norm. They’re often the only way buyers can afford new rides, with average auto prices nearing $50,000.

You believe all the propaganda, don't you? Do you not understand that the creation of Israel was only possible by forcibly removing Palestinians from their own land, and that Hamas arose from the brutal occupation by Israel? Much like Hesbollah was a result of Israel trying to take over in Lebanon?

☭Josh Mosh☭ @joshmosh138.bsky.social · 6h

Israel leaving Palestine means leaving ALL of Palestine to the Palestinians, from the river to the sea.

☭Josh Mosh☭ @joshmosh138.bsky.social · 6h

She was saying they deserve self-determination while trying in the same breath to dictate how their self-determination should look. They can't have self-determination while under occupation. And she's not letting them have self-determination while condemning Hamas, the resistance against occupation.

I don't think you understand the difference between colonizer and colonized. You can't support both, and pretending to support both means you support colonization.

☭Josh Mosh☭ @joshmosh138.bsky.social · 6h

No, you cannot support the occupier and the occupied at the same time. And she did say she'd never condition aid to Israel, which effectively means she'd follow the same policy as Biden.
