The new WVU budget slashes nearly 10 percent of majors and 7 percent of all faculty—but students and staff aren't going down without a fight.

    “Left-wing” is pretty vague. I’ve seen people say things like “now I’m as leftwing as they come, which is why I support sending tens of billions of dollars to Ukrainian Nazis! Slava Ukraini!” Under the capitalist mode of production, there are communists, liberals, and fascists. That’s pretty much it.

        Not really. You either support capitalism or you don’t. And if you do support it, you’re either comfortable with its nastier aspects (genocide, slavery, the annihilation of the human species via climate change), as fascists are, or you find those aspects uncomfortable, as liberals do, though they aren’t an issue for you if they’re kept out of sight. Is there some other group I’m missing here?

          I don’t like capitalism, but I’m not a communist. 🤷‍♂️ I must not exist.

              I feel like a pre-trans person when asked to check [ ] male. [ ] female.

              I guess my options today are:

              A. Poor because I tell myself I’m a communist

              B. Poor because the rich are taking my wages through over taxation and artificially increased prices

              C. Poor because the rich have told me I’m poor.

              Man, fuck that world 🤪

              What actions have you taken that have had a measurable impact on destroying capitalism that I can verify?

                Why would I want to destroy communism? It doesn’t really exist outside of a few extremely isolated communities. I’m trying to make it a global thing!

                    Ah, okay, capitalism. I can’t doxx myself because that’s fed shit, but the thousands of comments I’ve made on this subject on hexbear should strongly suggest that I am quite dedicated to the destruction of capitalism. Do you even believe that destroying capitalism is possible or desirable?
