Eh, that isn't really how Lenin describes it, maybe it is expanded on later after the October revolution. The dictatorship of the proletariat is not really a state, it cannot assume the roles of the state or the prerevolutionary state apparatus to be successful. A state specifically exists to manage irreconcilable class contradictions and the dictatorship of the proletariat exists to destroy that. It should be setting up re-callable positions directly involved with running society and quickly render itself unnecessary not to persist as a transitory state which would necessitate reconstituting prerevolutionary class. I am not sure that the lessons of the Paris Commune translate well to modern society of 9 billion people and there are many missing pieces to the withering of the state. For example his writings don't address revolution the enterprise. Personally I think that the Democracy@Work cooperative movement at the enterprise is a prerequisite to a state revolution.

Yeah, I don't identify as a ML I just read books lol. Most people don't

ML's explicitly are anti-state and believe it to be in charge of managing irreconcilable class differences so it must be destroyed and replaced with something else. This is written explicitly in Lenin's State and Revolution.

I don't even know what you mean by this. I live in the hole. This meme is about how social democracy in Europe and America doesn't address its underlying economic model of exploitation. Asia never colonized Mexico 🤷‍♀️

That... isn't what this meme is about?

The meme is about how social democracy in the imperial core doesn't address the effects of imperialism.

Biden and Harris both looked over concentration camps in the US, they are not new under Trump. They're called Supermax prisons and it contains 25% of all the incarcerated people on earth in a country that only has around 4% of the total world population. That means 1 out of 23 people in the world are American but 1 out of 4 prisoners in the world are in America. All of Trumps policies are direct continuations of the policies of the people who came before including Biden/Harris and Bush/Chaney but you don't care about anything in the world and you allowed these people to run wild so long you only noticed when you got a Trump because it came home to roost. Read Fanon.

Praising the architect of the killer of my family is actually something that matters to some people and virtual signaling/whitewashing these people does have tangible harm. Sorry we don't mean anything to you and that the millions of people that your country murders in cold blood are just thought experiments. Your ignorance blinds you to the fact that all your politicians are the same. The policy transcends them.

Dick Chaney is one of the biggest war criminals of all time who is directly responsible for killing literally millions of people. This is the same thing. They both represent a class of people who are united against all of us.

I hope every day is the worst day ever for these people

Not everything needs to be written out like you wrote for it to be understood for people who can read into context. It literally says "The government wants us to get this right" that is the crux of the message here. Nowhere in the meme does it say not to recycle or that recycling is bad, the juxtaposition is that no one is telling Meta to do anything but they are telling people to sort trash.
