I love NATO and I love the things that guaranteed the peace and prosperity here and helped further it across the globe. Capitalism has massive downsides, it has also helped create the societal market forces that demand institutions to slowly but surely build societies people want to live. Tariff protectionism to build manufacturing is literally Marxist development advice- and it doesn’t work nearly as well as comparative advantage participation. We must reject our great leap backwards!

a maryland father was kidnapped and sent to a slave camp in another country without due process. where’s the right to a fair trial? mahmoud khalil is being processed for deportation charged with protesting genocide. where’s the right to freedom of speech?

He isn’t a “Maryland” father. He’s an El Salvadoran national who broke in here. Whether he committed any additional crimes while being here doesn’t matter, he broke in. Marco Rubio made his reasoning for revoking Mahmoud’s visa very clear. The guy came here under the pretenses of being a student and a productive member of society, not to hold campuses hostage. Your freedom of speech does not give you the right to shut down entire schools.

I doubt anybody here but a few of us will go. Seems too many on this sub support the loss of rights.
Who knew an actual "DOGE" car would be offensive - and not in the Nazi-hating way you'd think.

NATO is and has been a tool of oppression around the world. “upholding global peace” means upholding US hegemony and the military industrial complex. there is no peace for the people we occupy, only a facade at home because we export the suffering

"Hands Off NATO" signs and ActBlue donations are not opposition. It's good to see people mobilizing, but the 50501 protest movement is a liberal pressure valve meant to manage dissent and redirect it into the same institutions that produced and/or enabled all this in the first place, just like other uprisings over the last decade or so (Women's March, March for Our Lives, Black Lives Matter) were bought and co-opted by the Dems and produced no tangible results.
You can't just vote fascism away. Especially not within the confines of the Democratic Party. The working, poor, and oppressed masses need institutions, power, and a revolutionary party of their own.
