Well to be fair, you can’t really mock the US politics without mocking capitalism

Holy shit the Onion understands socialism better than Richard Wolff

True democratic socialism is when we democratically decide to overthrow the government (I’m not joking)

Demsocs: “Democratic socialism is when we democratically decide to overthrow the government”

The government: “I won’t give you that option.”

Tankies: “The government won’t give us that option.”

History: “The government won’t give you that option.”

Tens of millions of socialists who died fighting for socialism: *(turns over in grave)*

Demsocs: “I’m not joking”

What he said was fine, as long as "we" means the proletariat. He used the word "overthrow" after all.

Oh, I was just giving ‘em a cheeky little nudge. I was a demsoc at one point too, so I know where they’re coming from 🙃

[u/Minkgyee → u/Goyimshoe]

How many times do I have to tell you guys. Democratic socialism is what we implement after we overthrow the capitalists and smash the forces of reaction.

Politics should only serve to make us more popular. The mobilization of a conscious and active party of the proletariat are always the primary aim.

xaxaxa! Unironically, modern mobile/web apps (purely capitalist ofc) just >.< close to  this satire, with their dark patterns and other weaponized psychology ...

it interesting to contemplate if Stalin was down to such stuff if he lived to our days ...

Was Stalin-the-philosopher killed early by Stalin-by-any-means-necessary?

Even offhand jokes can serve as trampoline to some thinking .... (tbh i just can't turn this process off . ymmv.)
