Posting train memes to a bunch of communists is guaranteed positive engagement.

Yes. They are demanding free tuition, open admissions, and a cop free campus.

Corporate

Open source

Pick one. Capitalism cannot abide anything not being commodified. “Corporate open source” is an inherently contradictory term.

The project is jointly managed by a group of volunteers located around the world, using the Internet and the Web to communicate, plan, and develop the server and its related documentation.

This is what I mean though. Most groundbreaking development is done voluntarily or with public funds. It is antithetical to capitalism.

Capital comes in AFTER it is proven useful and/or profitable.

No, open source has been historically exploited by corporations.

people need to stop supporting projects with no potential for long-term profitability unless those projects can survive without any support from for-profit companies.

You see the contradiction here right?

Nakoichi, 1 month ago

Open source projects have no potential for long term profitability unless those projects get support from for profit companies, thus compromising the nature of open source.

Incredibly based ability to self crit.

Folks like this give me hope. This is literally the sort of inspiration that keeps folks like myself, dedicated to agitating and educating, going.

A guy at work yesterday told me after he came through my line at work a couple weeks ago, outside in the parking lot afterward his daughter asked “daddy what’s capitalism?”

(he is a comrade we have discussions like this but usually his kids aren’t there)

Nah, I get the urge to jump to the defense at this point but I imagine the majority of people doing this weren’t malicious and the actual devs have already been paid and aren’t losing money on this. It lies squarely at the feet of the capitalist production companies in my opinion and fuck them.

and even Anarchists.

I have lost count of the number of times I have been called a tankie by libs lol

I am an anarchist, but I work with a decolonial Marxist org and I have read plenty of ML theory and know who my comrades are.

They’re afraid to read Lenin because they know they might agree with him.

Nakoichi, 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago)

nevermind Lenin’s deep respect for Kropotkin

THEY LITERALLY NAMED A FUCKIN TRAIN STATION AFTER HIM

And not just any train station

Kropotkinskaya was therefore designed to be the largest and grandest station on the first line.

I think something both the Vaushites and PatSocs have in common is viewing things in a vacuum like liberals do, they try to carve up ideologies like football teams and insist that you cannot be an anarchist if you don’t swallow NATO propaganda, or that you can’t be a socialist if you acknowledge the unique struggles of LGBTQ people or colonized people in the US for example.

Meanwhile historically the lines are a lot fuzzier and both groups have aligned and clashed in various ways over a whole century.

We also do not need to keep rehashing hundred year old ideological beefs when we can simply examine the causes of those divides and also the points of agreement and learn from past mistakes. This should be something all contemporary communists of any tendency should agree on.

I have critical support for the USSR because they were clearly a net good and their existence gave leverage and power to workers’ movements in the US because they were terrified of us doing our own october revolution. It is glaringly obvious that the existence of the communist bloc held at bay the unrestrained voracious maw of capital because we can see what happened in the years since its (illegal) dissolution.

How is this DIY? lmao

This is literally an ad and your only post. This is lazy as fuck shilling.

Rather, the cause of this snag is that the trucks struggle with the basics of stopping and going, by which I mean that the accelerator pedal cover slides off and gets stuck under a panel and locks the accelerator pressed down and keeps the Cybertruck stuck at maximum velocity.

Critical support to Elon Musk trying to kill as many libertarian techbros as possible.

Yeah there is one guy in town that I have seen a few times. I’m amazed every time I see it on the road because they seem to have a ridiculous failure rate.

Nakoichi, 1 month ago

Of course they won’t
