squid_slime,

Think communism is bad then read up about Americas involvement in Vietnam or capitalist El Salvador, and many other countries.

Orwell is amazing though he was a social democrat and he never argued directly against communism, he was against totalitarianism authoritarianism.

And no I wouldn’t say both are bad, one is geared towards betting the lives of the many, the other is geared towards betting the live of the elite, issue being bad actors have always managed to manipulate and hijack

squid_slime, (edited )

it adds a backdrop to the statement “fuck communists” as if capitalism is the only way forward whereas really for a capitalist to be happy a dozen more must indirectly suffer.

squid_slime, (edited )

for a few to live dignified lives in capitalism many must suffer, this is a feature of capitalism one which progressively worsens as time goes on and can be seen in any 3rd and even 1st world country whereas communism has systems to counter these issues, it also has systems against corruption which like in capitalism have been subverted by bad actors only difference is that capitalism more often then not rewards these bad actors.

Another thing to think about is our bias, capitalism has a vested interest in quashing communism and socialism this is made apparent in Manufacturing Consent, where our western world view is made up of glimpses shown to us by media corporations, tax funded misinformation campaigns.

Does Cuba deserve to suffer embargo’s? Its an indiscriminate way to kill a population. North Korea and its forgotten war where america spent years killing indiscriminately with napalm, threatening nuclear escalation which eventually lead a fledgly communist state to turn hermit and its leader a quasi-god. Vietnam wanted independence from France and america dropped agent orange across much of its fields and people again killing indiscriminately as well as napalm and setting embargo’s. The USSR didn’t have secret police for no reason, the USSR was under constant threat from western powers. Much of the issues in communism is a reaction to imperialism/capitalism.

Its an acknowledgment of why things had gone the way they did. america have a history of monitoring and imprisoning communist and socialist, black panthers and even recently blm had undercover agents within the movement.

This is common within the us intelligence structure.

What reading style do you consider more tedious to read, A) short, concise, and precise, but using non-layperson vocabulary, B) using layperson vocabulary, but it's longer, drawn out, and not precise?

I’ve seen a lot of people on here be teased for difficulty expressing themselves. Either people complain “you’re using big person words to describe mundane things” when they’re aiming for precision or “woah, we don’t need that damn wall of text” when they’re aiming for clarity. It’s like people just want to...

squid_slime,

A: finding new words makes me happy.

squid_slime,

How so? Is the online text as good as what you’d found in books or is it fodder?

squid_slime,

Thanks, will put Shock Doctrine next on the reading list, and yes Manufacturing Consent feels very dry, I was looking for ways to get through it faster as it reiterates a fair deal… And thank you for the other recommendation, what is this genera of book called? Social study?

squid_slime,

Vaping and pulling at my beard whilst stood with an uncomfortably wide gate and shifterly looking around every several seconds.

squid_slime,

Spent 6 years sofa surfing, its less a fear and more a reality for some. Sadly in most western countries homelessness is seen as a punishment and housing programmes stipulate no alcohol, no drugs, curfew. all of which put people back on the streets.

squid_slime,

So Jesus died on an erection?

squid_slime,

Good thanks, reading Orwell’s lessor known books, getting a tan and sold newspapers for my political party at the rail drivers picket line.

Its a heavy read but insightful.

Although China nowadays is considered socialist with a hybrid economic system. confusing country but isn’t Leninist or Marxist, unless you squint

squid_slime,

To be honest its a Frankenstein’s Monster of a political philosophy so maoist maybe too narrow of a term, maybe itll fit with the 1989 Tiananmen square protests but not sure. Not a historian just know China isn’t cookie cutter socialist/Marxist/Leninist/Stalinist…

squid_slime,

is there a resource i can look into this with, searching the term “dengost” brings up medical, adding philosophy also serves strange results and adding china brings up dentistry in china :/

squid_slime,

mccarthyism, red scare, American and western Europe propaganda. listen to Blow Back podcast it explains a lot of political meddling and how capitalism is working in its best interest in crippling socialism

squid_slime,

read the resent news of Julian Assange or John Pilger there’d be a lot more if i could think to name them

squid_slime,

Used pwa extension for about a year and found it to be clumsy. Use chromium for pwa’s now.

squid_slime,

I liked your use of pink, and your glorious name. Rip striker

Will I ever be seen as truly British?

My family immigrated to the UK from Poland when I was six. I’m 20 now, speak much better English than Polish and feel like this is my land/culture. However I have a Polish first and last name, Polish passport and “unique” accent everyone picks up on, so despite this I’m usually perceived as an outsider. It makes me...

squid_slime,

No ones truly anything, nationalism is a horrid thing and sorry people have treated you as they have, its more they’re own insecurity then anything to do with you.

Russia threatens Britain with retaliation if involvement in Ukraine war deepens (www.pbs.org)

Russia on Monday threatened to strike British military facilities and said it would hold drills simulating the use of battlefield nuclear weapons amid sharply rising tensions over comments by senior Western officials about possibly deeper involvement in the war in Ukraine....

squid_slime,

RIP Trosky. fuck Stalin the absolute cowered

That was disgusting, I breathly thought about that scene whilst biting into a hotdog last night 😂

The guarding of billy beef is something out of bullshit jobs and the way he expresses and explains it with the old gent reverting back to gardening, basically started a farm, this is my favourite scene so far, and Christ he’s mad about trout!
