Ohio voters have approved a constitutional amendment that guarantees the right to abortion and other forms of reproductive health care. The outcome of Tuesday’s intense, off-year election was the latest blow for abortion opponents.
Off Lemmy I’ve already been assured by several dickhead accelerationists that this is actually bad, because it’s against the rules to successfully progress a liberal democracy when the One Right Way to effect change is revolution only. They’d rather people suffer more if it meant an end to capitalism, revolting “ends justify the means” mentality.
But when I think about it, those poor people are absolutely fucked right now. By achieving small victories like these they get nothing. We have luxurious lifestyles, while the poorest don’t even eat.
Fuck capitalism. House and feed everyone first, then play pretend with numbers.
Fuck capitalism, I agree. But I don’t see where a county with any other economic system was ever chomping at the bit to sacrifice to feed the poorest in the world either.
Be angry, but realistic. Don’t fetishize revolutions. Revolutions generally kill quite a lot of people, the vast majority of whom are not members of the ruling class
Ok, so can we agree to do those things without killing anyone who disagrees and then spending a few decades “protecting the revolution” with a “dictatorship of the whatever?”
Subjugating people is a terrible way to liberate them. Full stop. If you want socialism, then the only viable and sustainable path is convincing people to vote for socialism. Which is why tankie extremists are socialism’s worst enemy.
It’s because these people don’t actually care about socialism or equality. You can tell, because they don’t ever talk about those things. It’s all’s fantasizing about murdering their neighbors and enslaving workers under their system of autocracy in the name of their socialist God.
So you want to usher in a socialist/communist society in the pursuit of freedom, egalitarianism, human progress, and the elimination of pointless suffering?
“Nah, I just want power to hurt people I don’t like, and the USSR had cool aesthetics.” – tankies.
nope, as soon as it ‘officially’ passes (how many recounts you think? would you place wagers on an over-under of five?) it’s part of the Ohio constitution. they’d have to run a second ammendment through to vacate it. and that won’t happen.
All they gotta do is keep ruining education, encourage the religious right to have more babies (you aren’t a good family if you don’t got 10 kid!!), wait a few decades and try again.
The universe isn’t this nice. I’m waiting for the bad news.

Those people have such a lust for violence and don’t care that the poor people they claim to be fighting for will be the ones who suffer most
“Why won’t you die so I can avenge you‽”

Who said anything about force?
We can just spend resources to build sustainable habitats and farms for everyone.
Where is the subjugation?
Idk seems like referendums work so we don’t need all that other stuff.
Yes… let the incrementalism flow through you.

“Off lemmy”
How about trying off the Internet entirely.
You’re in a bubble, most people in the US couldn’t correctly define capitalism, let alone have such a strong agenda or opinion about it.
“off the internet”
How about trying off reality entirely.
You’re in a bubble, most people in the astral plane couldn’t correctly define the internet, let alone have such a strong agenda or opinion about it.

The weed issue also passed but the legislature may just ignore the will of the people. I don’t think they can do anything about this though.

In a few decades no one is gonna be able to afford 2 kids, never mind 10…
That’s why they’re gutting child labor laws. Get those kids a working instead of doing homework! Keep em dumb, and now you can have another.

Too bad. They legalized weed in Ohio too.
