I guess he chose personal profit over communism. Sad to think people would do it, especially after they’ve learnt so much.

Also:

I seriously read through most of Marx, Lenin, Nietzsche, Camus, Popper, Hegel, Kant, McLuhan, Sartre, de Beauvoir, Baudrialluad, Butler, Foucault, Shelley, etc

Holy motherfucking shit.

How’s he reactionary? I’m serious. I don’t know shit about him other than the memes but this is like suddenly hearing Chomsky or Parenti are reactionary anti-commies.

Edit: Were prisoners in gulags paid for their labor?

Humanity fucking killed their own planet you fuckhead. What the fuck is this chud on about.

There are thousands of sci-fi stories about humans killing each other (and other aliens) in space. Every time humans are the “good guys” and the military etc bs gets valorised. This is the one franchise where humans are unquestionably evil and we side with the native people.

Took me a while to figure out they’re for middle class libs who think watching the right movies makes you a good person.

…right in the heart.

Made me cry.

Oat Milk is so fucking good that several carnists I know drink it over the stolen baby food.

Thanks for your comment. These thread so quickly go out of hand, so I don’t fault you for not reading every comment.

I’m 100% for criticising AOC and other progressive politicians. But it has to be measured and appropriate.

It cannot be done in such a way that boosts the countless politicians who are so much worse. And the criticism has to be aimed at improving the situation, whether by pushing progressive politicians to the left, or by creating/boosting left orgs and platforms etc.

The moderate and right wings of capitalism want to take down the left flank (progressive politicians) and we have to be wary of that and prevent that.

lol I fully expect her to be free in a couple years. Even then, her prison will probably have a spa, movie theatre and servants waiting hand and foot.

wdym?

True.

Also this title has big :bait: energy

Man…this has happened multiple times to me. I don’t know what to do.

I am currently reading it! Marx is such a good, but dense writer. I tried reading some “introductions” and “explanations” by others but tbh, it’s just better to read him directly.

The video goes in-depth about testing the theory and concludes there isn’t any empirical proof for it. Not so much challenging it on philosophical grounds.

The video counters Cockshott.

…I guess the silver lining is that they are against it?

grifters vs fascists - whoever wins, we lose.
