I think pretty much everyone wants to feel useful and like they’re contributing to society. I also think the modem idea of a job is awful and oppressive, but I think that’s more of a problem with capitalism. If we had a better economic system, I think we’d have a better relationship with work. I know that if I didn’t have to worry about making money to survive, I wouldn’t be lazy and fuck off all the time, there’s so many projects I would do and help others with. I suspect that’s true for at least 99% of people.

But we live under capitalism right now and many people choose to accept that and try to be happy with wage slavery. “If you get a decent job that makes decent money, it’s not so bad.” But I think we’d be a lot healthier and happier if we rebuilt the system from the ground up.

“The guy’s filthy rich” part doesn’t sit well with it just being “consenting adults”

Would all parties be okay with the situation if money wasn’t a factor? Moneyed society can add coercion to places that would otherwise be amoral.

(Yes, it would be amoral as in without moral consideration. As opposed to immoral or against morality)

Can confirm it’s NOT true

Their wallet is bigger than ours

“We don’t need this person to be a good leader, we need good ideas that improve our material conditions.”

Like a less heavy handed version of that?

He’s extremely willing to cave to the right and will run a centrist campaign to appeal to them while ignoring the success of someone like Mamdani who gets broad support for having a spine

Not trying to antagonize. I don’t know that I agree with/understand the labels you’ve chosen. You clearly identify as a progressive, but that’s typically used by people who share the politics of Bernie. And if your ideal is star trek, that’s what many (maybe even most) actual socialists want. You put quotes around the other 3 labels but none of them would use that exact label for themselves, and the people who would agree the 2 labels to the right typically wouldn’t call Bernie a socialist.

You know they still will defend it but this is even more egregious than Good.

Tbf, the article is definitely trying to imply that he wants to side with the execs.

There’s obviously a lot of animosity towards the Social Democrat mayor, but all I really see so far is speculation of his “true” allegiance. I don’t see him making moves to force an end to the strike like Biden did with the rail workers, just encouraging a quick resolution. I think this is fine so far, obviously don’t let him off the hook, but this isn’t the moment to give up hope.

The rest of the country should join

“too dumb to be a cop”

That’s pretty dumb

There’s debate on if humans are actually omnivores.

Under socialism, singular people do not own businesses and every person owns a bed (who needs one)

I was having the thought last night that Maduro might be in on it
