Under the dictatorship of the proletariat firearms would have to be restricted so that reactionaries could not access them. As the transition to communism progressed there would eventually be a point where weapons wouldn't need to be controlled. Under capitalism gun control, like all laws of the bourgeois dictatorship, will only be used to maintain the supremacy of the bourgeois class.

Accelerationism is petty bourgeois nonsense from people that don't want to contend with the struggle of organizing as leftists in the imperial core. It's also used as a boogeyman by "reformists" to juxtapose themselves against something that isn't Marxism.

My few experiences with Trots:

1. I tried to talk to some SA people, all they wanted to do was sell a newspaper, even as I was asking about their platform and what joining might look like. Once I bought the paper they were a little bit friendlier but that was all I needed to experience to not want to be involved.

2. Two different Trotskyist groups injecting themselves into every vaguely left thing in town. One of the groups was straight up disruptive while the other one would just try to recruit people.

3. A Trot that somehow snuck into a union organizer position ghosting me and my coworkers when we tried to organize. I found out he quit from someone else in the labor movement a few months later.

4. Over the last year I've been introduced to a number of people who had interest in an ideology that is a weird blend of Trotskyism and anarchism and most of those people and their ideas are absolutely cursed.

Im here right now

What's next? Is the sun gonna disappear from the sky?

They already spent the last decade supporting the Saudi effort to bomb and starve Ansar Allah into submission and it didn't work. Can't imagine that would change now.

You mean the guy that has openly been "personally opposed" to abortion his entire career doesn't do anything to protect it?

Didn't Henry Hakamäki mention on Guerilla History that the people at Verso had been extremely rude to him and his co-translator when they discussed publishing their translation of this text? Seems like a cheap shot at them.

I usually drink it hot unless it's a really hot day. I don't dislike iced coffee but it just feels weird to me drinking it like a soda.

Grocery stores usually do an insane volume of sales compared to most retail. I'm not sure how big these things were but even if they're tiny they're probably selling thousands of units a day. The number of chips they would need and the labor to apply them would almost certainly be unsustainable.

I voted for Bush when I was five because it was the only name on the ballot I could read. I've been trying to repent ever since.

I think I died somewhere between three and five years ago and I've been in my own personal hell ever since. Anyone else get that vibe?
