Gender idealism?

Eight hours a day? so two tons of number nine coal? I load 16 tons, but what do I get? another day older and deeper in debt?
Debt is a capitalist thing because your employer is using profit motive for that resource extraction instead of helping up with the working class of the state. In socialism, you'd need not worry about the debt for your expenses would be covered by the workers and the state. Any bureaucrat that tries to sack away, will be sacked.
I thought you advocated socialism, but now you adovocate "people's democracy".
People's democracy is socialism though. Democracy is inherently socialist.
 
Yugoslavia was kind of a pan-Slavic attempt. But it failed because Tito relied on IMF, didn't industrialize other regions, didn't make Sarajevo the capital of Yugoslavia, and didn't pick Stane Dolanc and went on with the flawed collective presidency which allowed Serbian bureaucrats led by Milosevic to seize power and destroy Yugoslavia and commit genocide in Srebrenica. That is a topic for another time.

You might actually get more mileage out of arguing for a Greater Bosnia than from the trans stuff, which the vast majority of people here are sick to the back teeth with arguments about.

No, "people's' democracy" is a non-Marxist concept invented by Stalinists, according to which there would be the rule of the "people" rather than the rule of the working class.

No. People's democracy is a Lenin thing. Lenin's "democratic centralism" allows for this people's democracy.
 
Unpick the logic of how you got from 'Socialism does not hold a monopoly on compassion.' to ' You're telling me that socialism cannot be "compassionate" to the workers?

If you are an AI, are you running on one of those Amstrad E-mailer things?
Don't blame Lord Sugar. His computers were perfectly wonderful.
 
But not their subjective reality. Or does your brand of socialism plan on eradicating subjective experience in favour of sloganeering and labelling?
The aim of socialism is to be collective and mostly objective. Whatever the subjective thought a worker has, be it done in a private circle of close friends.
 
If you read the April Theses, you will find Lenin junked the Democratic Dictatorhip of the Proletariat and Peasantry.
Did you forget that before Lenin there was an autocracy? A Russian imperial monarchy that killed millions (over 2 million Circassians in the 19th century, over 100,000 under Ivan the Terrible, etc.) over the course of its multi-centennial history. Peasants were not even free. The peasantry was enslaved even after the "attempted emancipation". The state Duma is a liberal bourgeois institution and it deserved to fall apart in the October Revolution because Kerensky was not a promising choice of the Russian Revolution.
 
Why am I wasting my time contributing to this thread?
THAT is the question.
Is it nobler in the mind to respond to someone who does not know that on which they opine, or to put the thread on ignore?
Back to the thread!

Transgender people have the right to medical transition. Denial of medical transition and attempting to "socially transition only" is revisionism and idealism that contradicts socialism.

What else you going to do before the Strictly results come on?
 
I was being sarcastic. The man was knighted, and then made a Lord, for running a company that produced tat.

Good. That’s a relief. I apologise for assuming that you were just the type to have been given a CPC 464 after offending Santa one year and to have stuck mulishly for the last forty years to the line you took in the playground when mocked by Commodore and Spectrum owners.
 
Ugh ffs, what is it with cis people who think it's OK to sit around discussing trans people without realising that there are trans people in the room for whom it is actually a lived experience and not a theoretical debate?

I doubt anyone would think it was OK for a group of men to sit around and decide what to do about women's rights, would they?

Because if I proposed this to a trans person, they will bring up the gender idealist argument explaining how wearing opposite-gender clothing is "full social transition", therefore, no requirement for affirming care. Trans people are people with gender dysphoria. We have the material means to provide them such as HRT and gender reassignment surgery which should be easy as long as we get some funding to be taken care of.
 
Don't say I didn't warn you.

So you would like to push people into surgery, because that suits your cis view of what being trans is?

Not because it would appease us. But because it would truly make them happy. We do this to appease them. The idealists think otherwise and their toxic liberalism is waging a smear campaign claiming that it constitutes an "evil ideology of transmedicalism".

Who are you to decide what would make someone else happy?
"We do this to appease them"
Why are "them" not seen as part of your "we" but something other than and separate to it, that you need to do something about.
Fuck off.
