What do you believe that most people of your political creed don't?

Now I said let's murder them?
Please don't use cheap discussing techniques, it makes any point you're trying to do look moot.
Interestingly you still only talk about the perpetrators and not the victims.

If i was aborted I wouldn't care, because I would be aborted.

Climate change will get us eventually.

I think the immigration system should be fixed, so there is little genuine incentive to illegally immigrate.

Yeah same. It makes the elections quite annoying because I agree with the local green party in almost every other way. But to me nuclear power is an important way to get reliable green energy. Something that still provides energy when the wind is not blowing and the sun isn't shining. And to me some of the arguments feel way too "feeling based" instead of facts based. That its unsafe or dirty.
Preferably we'd have fusion, but until we manage to get that going I think nuclear fission is a decent alternative. Not forever, but for the coming 50-100 years until we find a better alternative.

I'm aro/ace and honestly same. I refuse to use any longer acronym because to me it sounds silly.
In a similar fashion, I'm also not a major fan of the pride flags with more than the rainbow. It's fine for special occasions in order to draw attention to a cause that needs it, but not as the default. Adding black stripes, the trans flag, and intersex flag all at the same time seems ridiculous to me, and it only invites other groups to feel left out. Adding the black stripes, the trans flag, the intersex flag, or whatever to the flag for some event, protest, or personal reason is great but imo we shouldn't permanently muddy the flag like that.

Is that an uncommon stance among Anarchists?

TIL. Thank you.

Are you saying you disagree with Trots on these matters, or that you agree with Trots despite their unique positions among Marxists in general?
I don't think anyone would disagree with you regarding parties needing to be democratic, so I assume you are referring to a specific type of democracy.
As for Permanent Revolution, I think that was kind of "debunked" when the peasantry showed itself to be a genuine ally of the proletariat. Abandoning building Socialism because a revolution in Germany never appeared and instead focusing your efforts on exporting revolution ultimately would have led to a lack of developed industry, and a loss in World War II for the Soviets. Communism still requires global revolution, but it makes more sense to build up Socialism domestically and use that to fuel revolution globally than it does to focus almost entirely on the idea of a global revolution.

So, Social Democrat. I wouldn't call that "left wing," in that it isn't a Socialist platform. It would be "left" in comparison to the status quo, but not enough to be "very very very left wing."
-
Yeah it seems it's conservatives who are the ones who like to obsess and make it the topic of discussion to make their followers think it is the left's primary platform of focus.
And then they also fixate on entertainment like games or movies to further play up how everything is woke as though it's the left politicians making all that.
And it's because that's really the only compelling thing they have to play up to their followers who too make it their entire identity of conflict, since their other policies aren't working class friendly.
-
That's the far-left stance, generally.
-
I appreciate the recognition, but I think being right implies a lack of living in a bubble, right? Like, we might be annoying, but certainly not detached.
-
since their other policies aren't working class friendly.
It can not be stressed enough that every single other policy they have is damaging to the working class. I think that's why they push on transphobia so hard, because it's the only one that doesn't.

I believe consciousness is an intracellular, not intercellular process. I believe every cell thinks, but nerve cells are more specialized. This isn't just what I choose to believe, we have significant and growing evidence that this is the case. And it is clear, many parts of the body think, when you consider the extremely sophisticated tasks it performs without your conscious thought, even though computation and perhaps even reasoning is required.

Do you agree you have a debt to creatures you fuck into existence with your own genitalia?

Hi, Centrist! I'm Offended!

You can be Jewish and even support the idea of a Jewish homeland while also being fervently appalled by the actions of the state of Israel (Netanyahu, West Bank settlements, unarmed Palestinians shot/killed, houses being bulldozed).
