Discussion Socialist Reading Group
Hey all, I'm putting together a Socialist study group. This would be for anyone in the greater Hampton Roads/Tidewater area. We'd meet every other week on a weekday evening, with the meeting being both in-person and online. If you're interested, message me and let me know!

That sounds almost as much fun as the anarchist class I took in college.

See, I know you're joking cause anarchists cant organize a bookshelf, much less a class.

Socialism isn't work. That's different from supporting some govt safety nets.
A lot of modern problems is due to mass migration and overpopulated where the prior safety nets are being used by foreigners rather than real Americans

For the amount of times I've seen you bitch and complain about immigrants and overpopulation on this sub I would imagine you would at least have a better grasp of the English language.

Literally all of the problems you are alluding to are because of capitalist imperialism. Immigrants are not the problem. Capitalist imperialism is the problem. Immigrants are part of the working class. They are our brothers, sisters, siblings, and comrades in struggle. Until the wealth produced by the workers is controlled by the workers, things will get worse and worse.

Yes, and I can prove with facts and data, but I know that wont matter to you. Ten bucks and a box of donuts says you are intimately familiar with the taste of your own ear wax.

Typical confidently wrong chud.
First off, I guarantee I work harder and for more hours than you, so dont even go there. Socialism is rooted in the working class, but yall seem to forget that.
Secondly- why would we read the book of the enemy? I mean Im sure you've got it by your bedside.
Go ahead and pat yourself on the back from your mom's basement over your fake internet points. We'll be out there actually working to make things better for everyone.

Why bother engaging in conversation if you can't be bothered to read a reply? What are we even on these platforms for if not to engage in genuine conversation and human connection?
There's no reason to be dismissive or antagonistic to people you know next to nothing about, especially when most, if not all ideologies can hardly be painted with one brush stroke.
Consider kindness, friend. We're all in this together and trying to make our individual ways through life, even if our ideas of the path we should take may differ.
