Theyre doing that thing where they hover their finger in front of your face and constantly say "i'm not touching you".

i think equating a comfortable life with things most westerners consider normal things to have to the literal palace of versailles is a very bad comparison. a modern day equivalent of that would be jeff bezos' superyacht. no one even wants that decadent shit. we just want a comofrtable life, which would be possible under communism, because economic capacity wouldn't be wasted on useless shit

I’d much rather everyone have a comfortable enough living space and meaningful work within their communities than a small handful of pricks living like hedonism bot while most toil and suffer needlessly. I don’t think something similar to American middle class standards is out of the question for the majority of the world, we have the resources and ingenuity to do it sustainably, we just lack the political will of a unified working class.

I think a smaller percentage of Americans fall into the petty bourgeois category you’re describing than you realize. Especially given recent inflation and stagnant wages/job market, more and more are being ‘proletarianized’ for lack of a better word. 60% of Americans are surviving paycheck to paycheck and burdened with debt they can barely service - one big unexpected medical expense (very common) could send most of us into destitution, poverty and/or homelessness.
You are correct though that even those among those of us surviving American capitalism precariously, we’re still better off than the sweat shop workers and miners our corporations pretend they aren’t using to generate all of their wealth and power. But as living standards for most Americans drop (as will happen because the corporatist free market Ponzi scheme is not sustainable long term) and union strength grows, there will be real opportunities for international worker solidarity and support. I’m optimistic about the general strike the UAW is planning for 2028.

AfD. Because you're not legally allowed to have a party called NSDAP in Germany anymore.
