It’s wild how someone will say the words “true crime brain” and just completely black out that they just said the word “true”. Like those horrific things happened because real men did them.
I was reading the super summarized version of capital that Nia Frome wrote on red sails, and this question popped into my head. In the general formulation, capitalists exploit workers who they employ, because they pay them a wage that is not in line with the value that they imbue into their product. When I think about a...
sure, they act as a landlord, but then there’s also the indirect exploitation involved in producing the washing machines, the detergent, and then in turn people mining minerals for that, mining coal for electricity, etc.

Yeah sure, clear more land for development, Australia, it’s not like the lack of trees will dry everything out and raise temperatures in a place that is already dangerously hot. What’s a heat island? Oh, look, fire!...
They’re not idiots, they’re just ghouls that value their interests. It may appear short sighted, but I think the pandemic showed this too, how you can’t even use the bourgeois state to preserve capitalism because that means admitting that using the state to benefit proles was always an option, and that threatens them both short and long term.
Not everything you disagree with is hate speech. I think eg Germany has pretty strict limitations on specifically hate speech, but there are still plenty of people voicing opposing views.
All current and historical AES states have had electoral systems that differs significantly from the systems known from bourgeois parliamentary systems. Candidates are selected either by the vanguard party or by a unity front dominated by the vanguard party. Voters can then view either for our against the one list of candidates....
I heard the analogy of thinking of the party as the state, and then you vote inside the party by joining it and participating. The vetting process can be strict, but eventually even capitalists in China made it into the party, so if anything the vetting isn’t strict enough. Spooky scary Korea has multiple parties including succdem ones. Cuba has a separate but tightly linked organization (CDR) that elects candidates. If anything of this seems weirder than having a years long fawning pageant masquerading as democracy, sorry but you are a LIB
I care a lot about what other people think (not good) and if someone tries to help or helps me, I can’t stay without saying thank you. I really want to thank people who comment on my posts. But many times I ask a lot of questions and I thus reply to a lot of comments and try to be polite and show how grateful I am. So, now, I...
An upvote is enough. If something really helps you out and you want to say “real” thanks, once per thread is enough, even if there are follow up questions.
Well, my friend, he’s kinda poor he can’t afford some books and some streaming services, so he pirates. He pirate books, audiobook and videos and other stuff. Sometimes he buys books he likes a lot out of loyalty to the author (yeah, I don’t understand it either), he likes to read physical books, but yeah, if he hates the...
