@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaHow do tankies manage to support oppressive regimes with such enthusiasm? It’s like they took fascism, flipped it upside down, slapped a red flag on it, and called it leftist liberation!

@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaReal freedom comes from the people themselves, not from any government or state authority. It does not matter if the flag they wave is red with a hammer and sickle or bears a swastika. Both are symbols of oppressive regimes that crush true liberation. Genuine change cannot be handed down from above. It must arise organically from the grassroots, from workers and communities organizing themselves directly.

@cdarwin@c.imI’m always consumed by the same question:
How will this endless, brutal spectacle of killing finally end?
Will it be like a movie
— justice prevailing, liberation won, goodness triumphing over evil?
Will the ending even be worthy of the horrors we’ve endured?
Or will it all fade away in an open-ended scene, full of unknowns, unanswered questions, and the absence of closure?
Will I make it to the final scene?
AOr will my story be abruptly cut short,…
@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaRudolf Rocker argued that true social liberation requires the abolition of all forms of political, economic, and social oppression, he maintained that even complete economic equality is meaningless without freedom, and that any system enforcing authority or coercion undermines genuine emancipation.
When I think about it, I strongly agree with this view, because real freedom can only exist where no one is subject to outside control, where each person has the space to shape their own lif…
@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caCanadians: Replace Ardern with Trudeau and use other Canadian touchstones in place of #nzpol and you have an accurate article for Canada.
Which should speak to what Progressives actually need to do here, and everywhere.
"Ardern’s leadership has often been described as emotionally intelligent, compassionate, and people-centred. But compassion is not liberation. Empathy alone does not redistribute wealth, dismantle police power, or decommodify housing. What Ardern perfected was a mode of governance that couched neoliberalism in progressive language. A style of leadership that appeared anti-fascist, anti-racist, and feminist, while presiding over deepening inequality, mass incarceration of Māori, ongoing colonisation, environmental destruction, and a housing system that serves landlords and property speculators.
Ardern’s “politics of kindness” masked a status quo commitment to capitalism and state power. Her government’s housing policies floundered under the weight of market logic. Despite the crisis of homelessness and unaffordability, the Labour government never seriously considered nationalising housing, implementing rent controls, or seizing vacant properties from land-bankers. Instead, they protected the interests of property investors, many of whom were MPs themselves."

@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaRudolf Rocker (1873–1958) was a prominent German anarchist writer and activist, best known for his advocacy of anarcho-syndicalism.
Rocker argued that genuine liberation cannot be achieved through authoritarian systems or centralized state power.
Rocker was deeply critical of the Bolshevik regime in Russia, viewing it as a betrayal of the ideals of freedom and workers’ self-management.
He believed that the Bolsheviks simply replaced one form of oppression with another, demo…

@cdarwin@c.imAt a time when strategists across Wall Street are dialing back their recession probabilities, Peter Berezin of BCA Research is doubling down.
President Donald Trump's 90-day tariff pause was enough to ease the worries of some investors,
but the chief global strategist at BCA has maintained his bearish outlook.
While Berezin has lowered his recession outlook from Liberation Day levels,
he still expects an economic slowdown to unfold this year.

@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaThe workers' freedom must be the work of their own hands, the emancipation and liberation of the working class cannot be granted or imposed by external political parties or authorities, but must be achieved through autonomous, collective action and self-organization.

@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaWhen the family calls me a tankie, I just drop Rudolf Rocker’s black-and-red flag and remind them: Rocker spent his life critiquing both state capitalism and authoritarian socialism, he literally wrote book's on why real liberation means smashing all forms of state power, not trading one boss for another.
