i wouldn’t be trying to will socialism into existence, though, i’d just be having a little fun :3

i would completely dismantle the economy, the police force, the military, prisons, and the government. i would cease the recognition of all countries and borders.

but yes you’re right, i’m willing to use violence to make the world a better place, because i believe that i’m right, and i’m not scared of sacrificing all that i have and all that i am to achieve that.

i wouldn’t be able to peacefully retire, of course, i would need to be brought to justice for my crimes, but i would gladly accept the punishment, because it’s the right thing to do, and i know i would reduce the suffering of billions.

i still think you’re assuming what my actual, real-life views are from a silly what-if scenario! i am never gonna be in control of anything more powerful than a barbeque.

but if somehow i got to mind control the president or something, yes, i’d take advantage of that brief control to eliminate as many capitalists as possible

i’m not going to get into a debate about it, because i have better things to do, sorry.

i would agree that the USSR was socialist, but very quickly stopped being so, and now it is capitalist. that’s not what i call a success.

any marxist who thinks that the USSR or China is an example of a successful revolution is either ignorant, delusional, or worst of all, a tankie.

they had some early successes but were immediately co-opted. motherfuckers need to learn about permenent revolution.

now neither country is socialist, both are imperialist and well on their way towards fascism

yeah, the USSR and China are not examples of successful revolutions, neither of those countries are communist

yeah you’re not a leftist, you have no fucking idea what fascism is if you think what i wrote was fascistic, lmfao

violence against oppressors isn’t fascism, it’s justice.

don’t get me wrong, if the choice for a non-violent revolution is there, i would take it every time.

but if, somehow, i magically became the president without any kind of revolutionary effort, that’s what i would do, and i would be totally justified in doing so

yes, i am. i know how horribly evil capitalism is and i would gladly make that sacrifice.

uhhh, maybe you should?

left wingers have zero respect for laws and will make the world better and fairer by any means necessary.

as a leftist if I somehow got control of the state I would immediately order for the rounding up and execution of every single person in the country who is either a corporate executive for a top-250 corporation or in possession of assets worth 100 million or more.

because that would be the most efficient way of rapidly reducing the risk of the wealthy wresting back control.

and it would be totally ethical

as for gandhi and MLK, well, india is a fascist dictatorship and, well, how are things looking for black people in the US? Gandhi and MLK are both huge failures.

and thank god for that, i’d been saying for years, webauthn is great tech which will never be adopted by normal people, because it had an awful name. luckily we were able to just call OATH TOTP “two factor authentication” or that would have been totally DOA too. I got big hopes for passkeys!

everyone is sick and tired of tech promising to make the world better, only to make everything worse. i totally get the mistrust, the feeling that this is probanly just another trick from big corporations to steal even more of your privacy. i know much better than most people what it’s like. i know you’ve got no real reason to believe me, i’m just a random silly gay furry boy, but, trust me, in this case, we should be adopting this tech. if you’ve got family members or friends who are more vulnerable to phishing scams - often scammers target the elderly - i’d really encourage you to encourage them to set up passkeys. as always, i strongly recommend bitwarden - it can manage passkeys and sync them between devices and it’s totally secure and open source.

much love & solidarity!

yeah that’s totally true, but usually modern devices ensure that the passkeys are protected with a PIN or some biometric security, so I think it’s at least as strong as having a password manager on your device that can be unlocked with a PIN.

not really sure what you mean about “out of the ordinary” logins - it sounds like you’re thinking about phishing risks? but remember - passkeys cannot be phished. they verify the identity of both sides of the authentication token exchange - the server verifies you, and you verify the server. If you only use passkey authentication, you are safe from being phished. the most secure system would be one entirely without passwords/oath totp

TOTP 2FA is less secure than passkeys. 2FA TOTP keys can be phished. Passkey authentication cannot be phished. This is a security improvement which can make people completely immune to phishing attacks. That’s huge. And it doesn’t have any privacy risks, no loss of anonymity. It’s an open standard.

This is, objectively, a rare example of new technology which will make the world better and safer for us.
