Revolution is not when you exchange one group of landlords for a different set. It is a total upending of systems. That is the true meaning. Soc dems and reformists think we can just change the window dressing and call it systemic. "If the new lord is better than the old lord we can return to the happiness of feudalism." What a terrible thing to believe.

We must reclaim this term. These terms belong to the people not a bunch of centuries dead slaveholding jackasses in powdered wigs who didn't change a goddamn thing.

Just something I've been thinking about lately.

You think George Washington fell out of a coconut tree

This is an incredibly silly phrase. So silly I'm glad I was here to read it

Everyone laughs at her for this but the coconut tree metaphor is singlehandedly the smartest thing Kamala Harris has ever said

No shot she actually said the coconut tree thing?

Damn I haven't heard her talk for years and she's still got that bone-dry-ass way of speaking

Her laugh is so weird
