Overseas News

A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules
  1. Follow the aussie.zone rules
  2. We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
  3. Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
  4. Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

How quaint. A disabled chronically online communist.

No, I'm not gonna come in with more charity next time. Your opinion will not matter in the event of a revolution. The sentence about you ending up dead would absolutely end up true. You will not be taken care of.

Do you really want to know what "my" revolution is?

It's clumsy. People die. There's a high chance of one of two kinds of failure. Either outright failure to take control, or the failure to create a successful and good government structure. None of the issues with the government are easier to solve through revolution. They'd all be fairly easy to solve if we bothered to figure out what we want, then picking the hierarchy to put in place.

The reality of America is thay fascism was on the ballot, and it was picked by the majority.

A socialist revolution in that context would have to mean a strong paramilitary dominance over American territory. You will not get what you want. You're just dreaming and whinging and calling for people to take action to overthrow themselves and overthrow their decision to mistreat you.

Hmmm, i don't think continuing this conversation is particularly useful, to borrow a phrase.

Good luck with... All of that.

Have fun theorycrafting.
