The Democratic and Republican parties are functionally the same. Change my mind.https://www.reddit.com/r/CommunismMemes/comments/1dvy6pa/i_should_be_studying_but_im_making_shitty_memes/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

@Radical_EgoCom As a trans woman I can attest to a difference between them - at least on some levels and in some real functional ways.

@Radical_EgoCom40 years ago they were functionally the same, but not anymore. Since then, the Republicans have changed catastrophically.

@mcv Republicans and Democrats are functionally the same. They obviously aren't literally the same since they differ ideologically, but they are functionally the same in that they both support the perpetuation of the socio-economic/political capitalist hegemony.

@Radical_EgoCom @mcv from far away, distance looks tiny.One of the two supports taxing the rich.

@Radical_EgoComOnly one of them wants to end democracy and give the president (theirs, at least) absolute power. That's a really fundamental difference.There's a lot more to politics than just the basis of the economic system. That too is an important part, but it's not remotely the only part. And some of the others are pretty important too.One wants to hurt LGBTQ people, the other does not.

@mcv I'm aware of the ideological differences between the two, and I'm not saying that they're exactly the same. Both parties serve the same ultimate function, that being protecting and serving capitalist hegemony, which is all I mean when I say that they're functionally the same.

@Radical_EgoCom An effort to create a concrete, Marxist Leninist and anti-revisionist Communist Party in USA is under way.http://newworker.ushttps://newworker.us/editorial/what-is-the-communist-workers-platform/

@Radical_EgoCom @mcv Sorry, I ran into the character limit 😅 . Liberal ideology of SJ, where SJ means Social Justice.

@mcv @Radical_EgoCom I do agree there is more than just an economic system. However, the primary goal of both parties is to keep the economic system of capitalism. They differ in ideology not because they believe in those ideas, but because we do. They cater to two sides, but do everything they can to keep out any party that threatens capitalism.Keeping capitalism prevents the liberal ideology of SJ from becoming reality because it funnels money to the wealthy, not to the masses who need it.

@jcgonra21 @Radical_EgoComAre you saying people like AOC and Warren are insincere?I'm not arguing that all Democrats are good, but there are definitely good people there who sincere want to reduce the wealth inequality and want to stop the excessive exploitation of the people.

@mcv @jcgonra21 It doesn't matter how many good well-meaning people are in the Democratic party. As long as the party itself is in support of capitalism and keeping it in existence, any efforts by individual people within the party will be drowned out by the overwhelming support of the status quo.

@Radical_EgoCom Well, though both are subservient to the same masters only one of the two is an openly fascist death cult.Wether or not that constitutes a functional distinction, I’ll leave that as an open question. Yet I would defend that even when considered functionally equivalent, that little difference still should matter when voting. If only because there’s no harm in that, even if you think it doesn’t really matter.

"Fascism is the bourgeoisie’s fighting organisation that relies on the active support of Social-Democracy. Social-Democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism." "These organisations do not negate, but supplement each other. They are not antipodes, they are twins. Fascism is an informal political bloc of these two chief organisations; a bloc, which arose in the circumstances of the post-war crisis of imperialism, and which is intended for combating the proletarian revolution." - Stalin
