I Went to a Socialism Conference. Here Are My 6 Observations.

While you were enjoying your Fourth of July weekend, I was attending a national conference on socialism.

Why? Because socialism is having its moment on the left.

Since there’s often confusion as to what socialism really is, I decided to attend the Socialism 2019 conference at the Hyatt Hotel in Chicago over the Fourth of July weekend.

The conference, which had the tag line “No Borders, No Bosses, No Binaries,” contained a cross-section of the most pertinent hard-left thought in America. Among the sponsors were the Democratic Socialists of America and Jacobin, a quarterly socialist magazine.

The walls of the various conference rooms were adorned with posters of Karl Marx and various depictions of socialist thinkers and causes.

Most of the conference attendees appeared to be white, but identity politics were a major theme throughout—especially in regard to gender.

At the registration desk, attendees were given the option of attaching a “preferred pronoun” sticker on their name tags.

In addition, the multiple-occupancy men’s and women’s restrooms were relabeled as “gender neutral,” and men and women were using both. Interestingly enough, the signs above the doors were still labeled with the traditional “men’s” and “women’s” signs until they were covered over with home-made labels.

One of the paper labels read: “This bathroom has been liberated from the gender binary!”

While the panelists and attendees were certainly radical, and often expressed contempt for the Democratic Party establishment, it was nevertheless clear how seamlessly they blended traditional Marxist thought with the agenda of what’s becoming the mainstream left.

Lava soap. Just get completely rid of that top layer of epidermis.

Hope that helps!

Non-binary gender

Socialists are disgusting perverts.

"No borders, no bosses, no binaries."

What about the border between white and non-white? The left is willing to give that up?

What about the border between employer and employed? Left-wing bosses will give that up? Government will have no power to enforce the law?

What about the boundary between right-wing and left-wing? Will the left give that up, or deny that it exists?

What about the "binary" of consensual sex and forced sex? What about the binary of voluntary labor and slave labor? What about the binary of oppressor and oppressed? What about the binary of free speech and censorship?

The left cannot possibly believe its own rhetoric, which just shows how insane it is. As Roger Scruton (British philosopher) has pointed out, the things the left wants to eliminate are ESSENTIAL for any sort of civil society.

PASSION ALWAYS WINS... AND THAT IS WHAT THE LEFT HAS IN SPADES TO TOTALLY BAMBOOZLE AND SELL AMERICANS THE UGLY FUTURE OF TYRANNY... WHERE THEY WILL ‘“abolish the family.” The way to get to that point, she said, is by “getting rid of capitalism” and reorganizing society around what she called “queer social reproduction.”’

“QUEER SOCIAL REPRODUCTION” MEANS, IMHO, WHERE YOU AS A HETEROSEXUAL HAVE TO HAVE A NIGHT OF GAY SEX TO SHOW TO YOUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY. YOU CAN GET OUT OF IT BY PAYING AN EXORBITANT PENALTY FEE. BUT YOUR SPERM WILL BE COLLECTED AND SAVED IN DONNER BANKS.

SO TELL THE KIDS TODAY TO START TO KEEP AN OPEN MIND AND ANUS TO SOCIALISM.

"Suffice to say, the barbarians are beyond the gates. We are in the tower,” Diavolo boasted.

Looks to me more like the lunatics are on the path rather than the barbarians are beyond the gates. Those gates they are seeing are there to keep them safely locked within the hospital grounds ... remembering games and daisy chains and laughs ...

So socialists are becoming more noisy. By the way, I noticed that ThePatriotNurse has changed her presentation style.

Drug abuse is very common in those sexual identity disorder circles, BTW, especially with drugs like cocaine, meth, ecstasy, xanax, ketamine, etc.

In other words, just a gathering of lazy ba$tards

We already know what commies want.

What we need are names, addresses, sorted in order of financial contribution to the party for the CWII target list.

Wouldn’t anti-socialism be a more descriptive term for the far left? Since everything they want to do is aimed at the destruction of society.

Hey, it’s exciting, it’s something to do. It’s believing in something, being a part of something.

Wow. Talk about a glutton for punishment.
