    Yeah, exactly. Siding with capital against the workers is libs doing lib shit. Nothing to do with the blue-versus-red team sport of US bourgeois electoral politics.

      Never said blue-red. Said conservative-liberal. The point I made is that those are all arbitrary distinctions designed to turn worker on worker.

        Yeah, you’re the one invoking that false dichotomy in response to “Fucking NY liberals” — especially when the liberals in question are the lawmakers here, not workers. Liberalism is a real ideology, and one that’s in opposition with and derided by communists. Complaining about liberals making liberal policy decisions isn’t anti-worker in any way.

          Please list the liberals, other than the sponsor, that are in support of the bill.

          Edit: assuming that you mean liberal v communist as raised in the other posts, my confusion came from the qualifier “NY.” Aren’t most US politicians liberals in this context? What is it about the NY specific variant that matters in the context of the bill?

            I mean, I’m not clairvoyant, you’ll get your list when they discuss and vote on the bill. Given the state of the NY political apparatus, probably a lot of them. Why are you trying to defend liberals as a category? They’re anti-worker.

            Edit for your edit: The NY context is because this is a NY bill. Lately NY liberals have been extra clownish in response to The Adjuster capping the UHC CEO in NYC, including talking about setting up a help line for scared billionaires. This bill is also reaction to The Adjustment of Brian Thompson.

              I am not defending liberals. I was taking issue with what I thought was a liberal-conservative comment. In the context of a law regulating firearms in the USA that is an easy mistake to make.

              With that clarification the prior comment by someone of “we are all communists here” and my response demonstrates my mistake.

                  Ha. The client I use is really bad when the posts get that deep. I was so confused by that comment at first and then in the middle of responding it hit me.

                  I appreciate the exchange and you sticking with it until I caught up
