  • Waiting for you to reach a stage in your political education where you either realize the lib “humanitarian” concerns about the Soviets are manufactured out of rage over the colonized world rebelling or you revert to a bloodthirsty lib braying for palestinian blood.

    The humanitarian concerns you’re parroting are the same manufactured concerns brought up every time there has been a rebellion of colonized, enslaved and indigenous peoples since the Haitian slave revolt.

    Reactionaries create fantasies to justify why any resistance to capital should be crushed. Why there can surely be no good example to threaten the liberal model.

    There will never be successful implementation of socialism if that’s the kind of system we support.

    Sorry but that’s also a fairy tale. Socialism isn’t hard, surviving the reaction is.

    You think it’s hard to plan production and have an egalitarian distribution of resources? You’re saying 90% of human history is impossible.

    Tell me with a straight face that GOSPLAN or CYBERSYN would not be able produce consumer goods if they weren’t needed to produce ICBMs.

    GOSPLAN can smash the Third Reich, send the first men into space, build the first space stations, build thousands of ICBMs, erect tens millions of houses and eliminate homelessness but it can not run a Walmart?

    Lol, lmao.








  • That’s cool I hope you’re a good one lmao. Please listen to your patients.

    I don’t know how much social and political training they give you where you live but when I’m organizing I see mistreatment daily and a I’ve come to recognize that key medical fields select for the worst possible people. I’ve had the privilege of knowing a respected psychologist and getting to watch him try to “fix” his autistic children and witnessed the mistreatment of countless trans patients.

    Best case scenario you do everything right and your successors consider you a barbarian because you’re borne out of a system that insisted black people couldn’t feel pain until like 20 years ago. I’m sure you’re a nice enough person but yeah I’d bet money that CCA is experiencing medical neglect rather than a carefully considered decision.


  • It is not just some magic pill to be thrown around “just in case” to young healthy people anxious about rare complications.

    This deeply underestimates how slowly medical science moves. COVID crosses the blood brain barrier and is found in every major organ in cadavers. It’s like assuming a particular plastic is harmless because it isn’t listed as hazardous. It just means that it hasn’t been tested. Research doesn’t happen if there’s no profit incentive to fund it. At best you get some researcher pulling strings for their pet project.

    There is no shortage of Paxlovid or vaccines, they’re all rotting on the shelves.


  • You have no concept of how complex the decisions are around prescribing medications. Do you know the number needed to treat vs number needed to harm for Paxlovid?. Do you have any idea what the drug does and in which populations it has been studied?

    With respect it sounds like you don’t know either and are vibing off the idea of what doctors are through cultural osmosis. Speaking from my own expertise around the history of healthcare and healthcare training most doctors are terrible people and their training is incredibly hostile to patients. That’s just the nature of for-profit healthcare.

    You can trust doctors to do the bare minimum not to kill you but these people are incredibly neurotic, especially because they are culturally treated like Gods. There is more than enough academic literature to prove this, they’re not ubermensch, they’re usually rich kids that are just good at studying.

    The far greater likelihood is that CCA has a bad doctor that uncritically swallows whatever the CDC tells them, ergo their doctor uncritically swallows information from a political organization responsible for killing millions through social murder.

    Please hang out at a med school, talk to the students that are about to graduate. The good doctor that you’re imagining in your head is incredibly rare. American doctors in particular are trained to be extremely hostile and adversarial to their patients relative to other countries.




  • The American political system was built to manage the contradiction of having 30% of the southern population being black slaves. It was designed to have a “democracy” where it would take 400 years from black people arriving as slaves to still being mass incarcerated and killed in random violence today.

    You can’t accomplish that without having some veneer of democracy and fairness otherwise it would have been overthrown in a slave revolt in 1850 instead of being kept alive by false hope in the civil war.

    If stock buybacks are Capital’s path of least resistance it will self organize, like iron shavings to a neodymium magnet, and make it happen. There is no human agency in the circuits of capitalism and never will be.

    If this woman tried to not do stock buybacks, she would be fired by her peers/board and replaced.

    If this woman was even capable of considering doing pay raises instead of stock buybacks, she would have been clocked and removed from the circuit like an intelligent species crashing into the fermi paradox/great filter.
