How about a wall around the crazy states, everyone can go and come for some years, after that, close it. Let them drown in guns and bubbles, I say. - a joke, apparently. I like the list, maybe fight all the cults where old guys marry several underaged girls, too. Oh yeah, they still exist.

You forgot to add abolishing slavery.

Considering that lemmy.world is pretty much just a ball of pearl-clutching white liberalism these days it's not very surprising.

Yeah, I could get behind 90% of this. Find me that candidate/party and I would vote for them!

Perhaps this is just my European wallet talking, but $50k/y income = rich people. I'm sure there are states in USA where this is also true.

That sort of a change would totally crash tax income?

Amerikkka should not exist. It must be abolished. There are concessions the State & capital will adhere to when we mobilize, but revolution will never be on the ballot.

Domination is a byproduct of coercive hierarchy. To free ourselves from domination we have to be strategic in how we interact with systems of power. Non-reformist reforms can improve our material conditions in the short term, but true liberation is only achieved when we abolish all States, abolish Capitalism and abolish hierarchy.

We don't have to bargain for our humanity. We have the capacity to collectively organize and care for ourselves and the environment.
