    I like this comparison, it’s actually interesting to think about.

    Pretty much everyone tends to agree with the scientifical consensus that climate change is coming, whether they are capitalist or communist. The only people who disagree are those who are financially invested in oil, gas, or coal.

    In a similar manner, the message that “communism is bad” comes from capitalist regimes that have a financial interest in preserving the status quo. If you want to understand people within a capitalist society, a really good way to do it is simply to follow the money.


  • les tankies sont juste des mecs d’extrême droites

    C’est surprenant (et décevant) de retrouver la théorie du fer à cheval dans un espace qui se veut de gauche. Le problème en même temps avec les buzzwords réactionnaires comme “woke” et “tankie”, c’est que tous le monde a un peu sa propre définition, donc peut être qu’on ne parle pas du tout de la même chose.

    Est-ce que tu pourrais expliquer ce que signifie “tankie” pour toi afin d’éclaircir ce que tu veux dire ?











  • I’m from France so I can step in here. He’s actually talking about the recent ban on the abaya, a long dress that’s trending in the middle east and that some women recently started wearing here. Nothing to do with religions.

    Also, the ban concerns school students, not government employees such as teachers. So even if the dress was religious, the ban wouldn’t be because of “laïcité” (separation of church and state).

    Actually, it would be a breach of the principle of “laïcité”, because the state shouldn’t be able to decide how the citizens can practice their religion. You can’t have a separation of church and state, and at the same time a state that mandates which religions are good and which aren’t.
