Vote for Biden if you want, and I understand why you would, but let's not pretend that Biden is going to radically change anything. Let's accept the reality that another Biden presidency term will just be a continuation of the same capitalist drudgery we currently experience. He's not a savior. He's just a no-good politician like the rest of them.

@Radical_EgoCom Yes, but if Trump wins, we lose all our democracy and never have another election.

@Radical_EgoCom I see politica in the US as like professional wrestling. It's clearly theater and it doesn't matter who wins they both get paid despite the outcome.

@lonerfanatic @ErgonWolf @Radical_EgoCom the objection I have with guillotines is that as soon as everyone is finished using them on the folks we all agree on, they'll start to be used on the people the ones running the guillotines think should go next.

@lonerfanatic @ErgonWolf The guillotine, or any justice system that relies on punishment, is not preferable to me, because they can easily be used against good people as well as bad.

@Radical_EgoCom Now do one for when Trump is elected and how things will change for women, for LGBTQ people, for non-whites, for non-christians, and for “non-USA” people, since you're going to fucking have a go at the whole Biden thing.

@Radical_EgoComRight, nobody voting for Biden is doing it thinking he's a savior. He's establishment through and through, and wants to see further elections which could mean more progress can happen later.

@godofbiscuits Everyone is already rightfully criticizing Trump, as they should, but I barely hear anyone talking about how Biden is an awful politician and person in general. But I do hear people praising Biden as if he is going to save the country, when in reality, he's only going to perpetuate the same problems of the country that currently exist. Of course, vote for Biden, but let's not pretend that he's actually going to change anything. Change will be up to us.

@Radical_EgoCom @ErgonWolf the issue I have with non-violence as a method to move forward is that you can be principled against it all you want, but as long as there are capitalists, they will use violence against us. If you think you can avoid violence AND move away from capitalism, I think you're dreaming.

@Radical_EgoCom You specifically mentioned VOTING. If you're talking about voting, there's a first past the post, majoritarian system and a ballot you get to tick a box on in November. Period. Piss all you want outside your polling place, including here, but STFU about one box being the same as the other box, because they're not. That's electoral reality. Anything else is just you being a coffeehouse pissant.

@godofbiscuits There's no need to be so rude. I just criticized the politician you like, who is a bastard for various reasons, by the way. I don't think Biden is the same as Trump, I'm just pointing out that he's a horrible person in his own regard and that people who are voting for him, which they should, shouldn't depend on him to actually change anything.

@lonerfanatic We try to integrate them into society as well as possible while converting all of the time and resources that would go to punishing/killing them into restorative measures to rehabilitate them, as well as levels of surveillance on them to make sure they don't try to regain their power, and limiting their activity in society, such as preventing them from taking any political or influential positions in society.

@pinkdrunkenelephants @lonerfanatic How so? Because I don't see a single thing unjust, immoral, or destructive about what I proposed. I do, however, see many things unjust, immoral, and destructive about murdering your enemies as a form of "justice," a system that not only perpetuates the cycle of violence that would destroy a revolution from the inside, but has historically only been effective at temporarily dealing with enemies, but in the longer-term never eliminate the problem completely.

@Radical_EgoCom that is very noble and I'm not opposed to it, the issue lies in the fact that it needs support, organization and infrastructure that cannot exist within capitalism. So how do we get there from here without cracking a few eggs as they say? Ftr I don't think we need to go from old school France. I think a few well placed examples will make the rest accept the future without them at the top.

@lonerfanatic Violence will need to be used to some extent in order to abolish capitalism. If by "crack a few eggs," you're referring to the necessary violence that will inevitably take place in a revolution, then I support it as an unavoidable aspect of revolution. If by that you mean executing wrongdoers for their transgressions to be used as examples to scare people into submission, them I'm vehemently against that as that would erode the foundation of the new society from the very onset.

@pinkdrunkenelephants @lonerfanatic What you're proposing is too authoritarian to be successful at creating the kind of society I'm seeking to create, one based on non-coercion and restorative justice. You also completely ignored my points about how punitive punishment perpetuates the cycle of violence, how that would erode a revolution, and how historically these punitive punishment failed at eliminating the problems the sought to rid their societies of.

@Radical_EgoCom hey I would love it if people like apartheid Clyde would just see the light and join a new society but if you think they're all just gonna let what they have go for anything less than the imminent threat of death, if not death itself for some of them, that's cute. Them and their soldiers are just waiting to kill us even now. But do go off about your ideals while they shoot at you.

@Radical_EgoCom@mastodon.social@lonerfanatic@mastodon.social Limiting activity in society/surveillance sounds like something you'd get from an authoritarian country. Tho I get using such measures in limited circumstances as you described if a person is deemed dangerous.I wanted to ask how far would that surveillance go? Would they have any rights to privacy during that. If it's not related to communism and just how you see that in generally my mistake. if it is, people would ask the same

@Rob200 The surveillance would only go as far as the public lives of former capitalists and anyone who may support capitalism. Aside from that, they would have the same rights to privacy as everyone else. And this is to be used only in substitution of punitive measures while also allowing them to live in society like everyone else.

@Radical_EgoCom If it can prove itself to work that would be interesting, but if no one used it before it can be hard telling if it would work well in practice while it might seem good on paper.I am interested in a less violent policing, as it might encourage me to actually advocate without having to fearing death and/or violence.

@Radical_EgoCom He has been assisting a genocide. It has been American weapons and funding. What is more fundamental to any moral society, that atleast children are spared lives and shown kindness? Biden is a mass murderer he doesn't deserve any more vote than Trump. Disgusting if the stark grave crimes against Palestinian people are diminished..
