    The cool thing about independent thought is I dont have to ascribe the same value judgement or perspective as the DNC. Im able to vote closer to my principles by choosing a socialist candidate every time the DNC nominees move toward the right.

    Bad faith lemmings will paint that as not caring about the outcome, but I can sleep at night knowing that when offered a choice between slow descent to fascism and rapid descent to fascism, I chose no fascism.








  • Yeah looking at the meme it definitely misuses the saying “no war but class war”. People in the comments are pretty unanimously taking it as OP did, probably because they are viewing it not only as a rightwing psy op but foremost as a material attack on their civil rights (which is indeed what it is.) if you intended to dismiss the ‘culture war’ as a right wing op then this missed the mark because it didnt take the mask off to reveal what the culture war actually is - it just dismisses it in favor of class war (which is a false choice) and somehow legitimizes the culture war by applying it as the target of an antiwar slogan.

    In summary the meme is bad. It doesn’t reflect your stated views, it acknowledges the culture war as a war, and then makes a point not to participate in that and to focus on class instead.


  • Class war would not be won without intersectionality / solidarity. Its an anti war slogan, not an excuse to further dismiss marginalized groups.

    The culture war is made up by people trying to take rights away from minority groups.Iif your class war incorporates those groups, addresses the injustices against them and enshrines their rights there is literally no distinction.

    Anyone who uses this slogan to dismiss social liberation struggles is an absolute dickhead and working against class interests. No war means stop funding and fighting actual wars.
