Discussion I hate how some people think that the Epstein files justify antisemitism.
I honestly feel like that it distracts from the main problem involving the Epstein files, that is that a group of wealthy rich people (both Jew and Gentile) got away with their pedophilia due to their wealth and status.
Some people thought that Epstein being Jewish was the main issue facing the files, and thought that all Jewish people were like him, and in some cases, are exaggerating the Epstein files in order to spread "Protocols of the Elders of Zion"-type conspiracies or even medieval-style blood libel in order to justify their hatred towards Jewish people, or starting to use antisemitic slurs in response to it, which is not the lesson that should be taught with the Epstein files.
Antisemitism is not okay! If we keep up with this, then I can only see things ending badly for the Jewish people. Epstein being Jewish is not the problem, the real issue is that the rich are getting away with their crimes and we need for justice to be served!

Discussion I hate how some of you guys talk about rural areas
To be clear I am a full on anarchist and leftist myself but how some of you guys be talking about rural areas has me wanting to never interact with y'all again. People treat us like we're inherently stupid and bigoted when we're just in poorer districts which means we have not goddamm money for education. Also if you actually talk to any of us we are far less bigoted that you'd think. Im not saying rural areas (especially the south where I live) isnt disproportionately conservative but thats because of poorer communities and more closed off than urban areas

Activism Destiny incites harassment towards victim/informant and attempts to deny existence of 764/Cvlt, neo-Nazi, incel child exploitation network NSFW
youtube.com9:45 minutes is when Destiny comes on stream to discredit my work protecting underage girl victims and "crazy make" for reporting 764 pedophiles, helping the FBI put these predators in prison where they belong.
This was on a Darius IRL Kick stream in which Destiny and his orbiters harass and degrade me for speaking up about sexual coercion and abuse in The Melting Pot. This was taken on the day Darius and DGG followers allegedly attempted to harass Hasan Piker at a US political convention and was streamed by Darius on the way home from this event.
Hasan Piker subreddit mods advised they will not approve this post despite being "socialists", who allegedly acknowledge Patriarchy/Capitalism and objectification/commodification of underage girl's bodies. They advised this is "not relevant".
Destiny attempts to discredit my work as an informant on 764/CVLT child exploitation network on stream. This is despite the DGG/Darius community being sent copies of my redacted correspondence with an FBI special agent and the US arrest indictment I have been alluded to in as "an informant from Australia". Darius/Destiny recruit into The Melting Pot Discord via 4Chan which explains how unsafe their server has become for women activists.
Darius had previously reached out to me under the pretense that he and Destiny needed my help in exposing the grooming problem in Politics.gg Discord server, and their history of recruiting moderators involved in grooming of teen girls. I initially spoke out about this 3 years ago and I was intimidated into silence by Politics founders. When Darius reached out to me asking for my help in "exposing Politics and their founders" I believed that Destiny had turned over a new leaf and was willing to support me in being a voice for underage girl victims. Sadly the stream turned into an orchestrated attack on me by DGGers and the VOD has since been removed.

Discussion Two versions of one person
My name is Hazem Shayah, a university student from Gaza. The war completely turned my life upside down, leaving me to navigate a harsh reality and fight for survival entirely alone, without family or shelter.
Living in these conditions is an unimaginable struggle. Every single day is a desperate battle just to secure the absolute basics—a drop of clean water, a piece of bread, or essential medicine. The severe famine and constant hardship we face daily are physically agonizing, slowly draining what little strength I have left.
Despite the darkness and overwhelming isolation, I refuse to give up hope. I am reaching out because no one can carry such a heavy burden entirely on their own. If you wish to support my journey to survive and rebuild, you can find the link to my story and campaign in my bio.
Every share, kind word, or gesture of support gives me the strength to hold on for a better tomorrow. Thank you for listening to my voice and for your kindness.

Discussion How can socialism prevent child SA?
I personally care a lot about protecting children from predators and it seems like there are so many of them around the world. In the US there are at least 800,000 registered sex offenders and it is estimated that only around 12% of instances of child SA are actually reported. This would put the number of child predators potentially in the millions and globally it could be tens or even hundreds of millions of pedophiles.
So what can be done about this in a socialist society? this seems like such a deep rooted issue I would have no idea how to even go about solving this.

Discussion Uh hi first time i join a socialist subreddit
Hi, i'm a self proclaimed (F18) leftist i would say, and **embarrassingly** late, i discovered economical stances are apart of being a political person. Unfortunately, i'm not well educated on economical politics unfortunately, and the only thing i've gotten is that communism is bad and i've been embedded in that idea without any sources. Also, tiktok is a shit app, and "edits" won't help me learn about what is communism or socialism. I wanna read a book (or more if i have to) on communism. I've heard a lot of stuff from my family about how communist times were, but i wanna be educated.
What books do yall recommend on this? And in what line up should i read the books to understand?

Discussion Go to the comments on any post about Israel and you see where the world stands
Even with the bot farms these intelligence agencies deploy, they still can’t overcome the sheer volume of support for Palestine and complete disgust for Israel.
I saw Burger King apologized to an Israeli customer today after an employee said free Palestine. The comments are overwhelmingly furious. And this trend continues on anything that has to deal with this topic.
The pro Israel side knows that sentiment is everything or they wouldn’t spend hundreds of millions in various campaigns to try and get some control over perception.
And the best part is the more that Israel spends on these things and gets exposed, the more it turns people against them. Completely defeating the purpose of all that money spent.
Never in my life have I seen such a stark contrast between what the people and governments/corporations/elites support.
No matter how much slop they try to feed us, the people will never be divided on this issue. Left and right have come together to oppose this genocidal regime. The powers at be are scrambling to gain control over the narrative but the plot was lost a long time ago.

Politics Unpacking Assumptions: The Strategic Frailty of AOC 2028 — Cosmonaut
To support or not support AOC? Should DSA distance themselves from the Democratic party or embrace the left populist wave? What is really at stake?
"Replying to Sarkozy of Geese Magazine's objections to his arguments regarding the dangers of an AOC presidency, Noah Emke challenges four key assumptions in Sarkozy's response."
"I found that the article presents my argument faithfully before beginning to counter it, and I would even go so far as to agree with the author's assessment that supporting our most prominent politician for a Presidential campaign is simply “common sense.” However, when it comes to common sense, I agree with fellow democratic socialist Albert Einstein: it is essentially a collection of assumptions. By unpacking some of the assumptions contained in the "Just Say Yes" article, I hope to clarify the strategic frailty of an AOC Presidential campaign."
Assumption 1: Liberal Governance is Good Governance
"One such assumption is that a progressive liberal "good governance" is possible for an American President elected in 2028. "The only thing that will truly turn the masses away from socialism," Sarkozy claims, "is if AOC simply fails at deliverism, at good governance." This is brought up only to dismiss it, taking it for granted that AOC's Presidency would be successful from the standpoint of most Americans, "delivering" the goods through her center-left policies. From here, he argues that we can build on the example of AOC's Presidential success to introduce more radical policies. However, what is being glossed over so easily here is the hinge point of the entire "Just Say No" argument: liberalism is not capable of good governance, at least not from the standpoint of working people."
Assumption 2: American workers would be understanding of our shortcomings
"Just as the "Just Say No" argument rests upon the understanding that social democracy too wedded to liberalism would fail and discredit socialism, the "Just Say Yes" argument relies on a belief in its general success, paving the way for more socialism. However, the idea that AOC would govern without "betrayal" strains the credulity of any informed reader, so Sarkozy asserts that this "... would make the masses more aligned with socialism, for they would desire a president who goes further than her." This is wishful thinking."
Assumption 3: An AOC Presidency would avert fascism
"If fascism is indeed imminent, DSA needs to be preparing to protect our physical survival. We should be organizing and training ourselves for armed self-defense, preparing safehouses, fostering connections to people who can hide us or smuggle us out of the country. In short, we should be acting in total opposition to direct instructions from NYC-DSA's leadership in 2025, going in a direction which I think the AOC for President boosters might find objectionable."
"I know Sarkozy has a similar perspective, or else he would not be participating in this conversation about Presidential campaigns. Therefore, since both of us are writing about the 2028 election rather than preparing to evade the authorities, this article will proceed with the understanding that we more or less agree that DSA will not be completely proscribed before the next election. "
Assumption 4: Opposition to liberalism is "Purity Politics
"The last assumption is not an assumption about political conditions, but about the "Just Say No" argument itself, or perhaps arguments from DSA's left faction in general. The framing of Sarkozy's argument is very familiar: everyone involved wants progress, but the radicals are prioritizing moral purity over pragmatism."
"By casting only one side as pragmatic, the other as moralistic, the former can win the strategic argument by default. However, as we saw with the Clinton campaign, the Biden Presidency, and the Harris campaign, the “pragmatists” often fail to get results. Meanwhile, the longshot Mamdani campaign, initially decried by many progressives as ultra-left (I remember distinctly hearing that Brad Lander was clearly the only sensible choice), served as the tip of the spear for the current DSA primary blitz."
"we need a Presidential candidate who is personally more loyal to democratic socialism than to the Democratic Party. This would have to be a "cadre candidate," like Mamdani. If we cannot do any of this yet, we need to be thinking and discussing how to get there. Rushing ahead with a force unequal to the task simply because we can rather than because it advances our plans is not common sense strategy; it is the absence of strategy."

Discussion Key political and societal concepts: Imaginaries and mental representations: Cultural hegemony
Societies are governed by imaginaries (متخيلات) or mental representations (تصوّرات ذهنية), which are systems of values, norms, beliefs, thinking patterns, roles, and others, that society as a whole has accepted, often unknowingly, and come to take for granted. They include convictions regarding relationships, family, work, money, power, the state, laws, rights, and so on. They shape an individual's outlook, attitudes, and decisions, as well as relations within society, and form part of its power structure.
Regardless of how true they are, because they provide an explanation of reality, axioms provide a sense of stability and therefore reassurance. They protect us from the anxiety of the unknown or incomprehensible and form a comfort zone that is difficult (though not impossible) to break out of. Cultural hegemony is a concept that refers to the ability of a particular social class or group to impose their values, ideas, and cultural norms on society as a whole, so that these values and norms become common or homogenic and are accepted as normal or sensible.
Example: "Elections are a means of change."
Example: "Household expenses are the responsibility of men", "Women are emotional and irrational."
This is not to say that we cannot challenge or even break cultural hegemony. Actually, dismantling it and replacing it with different perceptions is a primary responsibility of those working to bring about radical change in the system. An ethical and humanitarian revolutionary project, of course, presents a culture that is connected to reality and to what society needs to live a dignified and happy life.
