I'm confused about how "From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs" excludes medical care.

Somebody explain it to me like I'm five.

I checked the "Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism" Star Trek manual, and it says the Doctor can hook you up with a new designer pussy in less than an hour.

Are women bourgeois?

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

Tapping the sign again that Poilievre is better at this than the NDP, and the NDP should be fucking embarrassed.

Oh, do they? Do you have a link? Because what I'm mostly seeing so far is an emphasis on labour as a category that is supposedly transcendent of gender, race, etc.

I read this morning that Gazan was a hard no. I would vote Gazan in a second for leader, though.

But if that reductionism doesn't include why trans people, POC, immigrants, and so on need to be protected, this doesn't matter.

I truly wish Nikki Ashton was running again.

I'm also highly skeptical of this "I'm not a politician so I'll be good at politics" schtick that we see from a range of political positions.

I actually think you probably need to understand politics to do politics.

What's your read on Rob Ashton as an NDP leader candidate?

TBH, I'm concerned that his 'tough guy you have a beer with' attitude signals an attitude about labour that doesn't consider marginalizations.

Carney's Jobs Minister goon @pattyhajdu.bsky.social admits outright that she sees the suppression of strikes as her responsibility in creating "industrial peace." She even takes credit for the Air Canada strike agreement by claiming it was the outcome of the Carney govt declaring the strike illegal.

ChatGPT, what prompts should I ask you that would generate content that suggests I have important thoughts?
sashafury.blackskycomra.de
This is how fucking Orwellian Carney and Hadju are:

Strike breaking is peace
Labour rights are unpatriotic
Oppression is helping parties arrive at an agreement
sashafury.blackskycomra.de
This is an Orwellian distortion of what happened.
Patty Hajdu: Having been the minister of labour before, I can tell you that Section 107 is just one tool in the labour code to help parties arrive at a collective agreement.

The most powerful tool we have is the federal mediation service, led by very skilled mediators, which results in 97 per cent of collective agreements being negotiated without any labour action like strike action or lockouts, which is critical.

That’s how I define industrial peace, when parties can arrive at an agreement together without massive disruption of the economy or of people’s lives. Those two things are really entwined.

I remember labour disruptions that were deeply impactful on the workers themselves, who were existing on strike pay but making that choice to take labour action. I also remember labour strikes that deeply impact small businesses, medium-sized businesses and the economy as a whole.

So to me, industrial peace is really important, especially in a time like now where we’re seeing such an attack on the economic sovereignty of Canada. But I also think that it is always best if people can arrive at these decisions together with the help of either the mediators or the industrial relations board.

I continue to be able to see on my browser the replies of accounts that I've blocked and that have blocked me.

@bsky.app haven't even acknowledged this when I told them about it.
sashafury.blackskycomra.de
This isn't a dunk on whoever this is that just blocked me.

What's alarming is, even though they're blocking me, I can make visible their posts by clicking the "user blocking you" badge.

Amazing jobs the mods/devs are doing. You can't say mean things about bots, and you also can't block people.

If the NDP get caught in an election without a leader after already getting wiped out in the previous election, they might as well end the party because it is not coming back after fucking up this bad.
sashafury.blackskycomra.de
I see more than a few indications that the CPC are considering not supporting the Liberal budget next month (not saying they won't, but they already seem to be testing the mood), and the NDP are not only leaderless, they are also staring at their goddamn feet.
