Nobody is anything at age 13 and probably not at age 17 this isn’t a journey you’re children.

Rocket fall down Mr Musk.

Yeah, they’re dead and the SU is also dead, take what you can from both and move on.

Trotsky has good points about the nomenklatura and aspects of Permanent Revolution and Transitional Programs are well worth reading. Stalin is obviously more correct but I continue to take Luxemburg’s position on the national question, at least for western orgs (De-colonial movements are obviously a different matter).

Tell me about it. It’s kind of like the Somme right now for me. People keep shovelling too much crap to deal with, and the problem is, no one is the bad guy, we’re all just normal people fucking each other up while those behind the lines laugh.

It’s amazing how these people have somehow managed to read even less theory than the average communist.

I’m sure a couple of the more controversial early posters were feds sent to prevent co-ordination during the last wave of radicalism, not out of fedjacketing anyone specific (because most bad takes are just honestly bad takes) but purely on statistical chance.

I do want to give a shout out to our intelligence agency friends. who no doubt have to read a lot more theory than most of us do! Wonder how many get radicalised.

separate reports regarding the tracking of trends related to left-wing extremism, public-health (mis)information, and religion forums are in development.

Looking forward to the upcoming Hexbear review

I don’t think they’re the same devs. ESO I recall is a different team under Bethesda publishing group, not game studios.

The lathe is available to all, but Dirt Owl is screaming and flapping their wings at anyone who goes near it.

“Hi, do we ever have an offer on rope for you!”

Yeah. The World Bank is less evil than it used to be, but only because they realise letting things improve slightly allows them to increase extraction, and also because China became a direct competitor with better rates and more flexible conditions, since they don’t even want the money.

Hexbear’s posting energy is so strong it breaks containment.

I can feel the upholstery of the armchair coming off this.

People need to embrace the NZ response to an utterly devastating riposte, which is to say “heh yeah your right! Good one!” As you’re vapourised into nothingness.

We like you and you’re cool even on the rare occasion we disagree. You are not alienating your white allies some people just can’t take a few jabs that are in fact funny and cool.

I’m not really competent at Haskell, but having my first language be FORTRAN of all things certainly flattened the learning curve. It’s not all that hard you just have to approach it without preconceptions.

It’s so fucking funny if you have had any experience of any other political party. Get a whip like a real party, if someone like Sinema or Manchin acted like they did in the ALP even once, they’d be out of the party, demonised by the press, harassed by the unions, and people would spit on them in the street.

Moralists don’t really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child’s toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn’t change – not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

Yeah my answer to that is always “great, so where should we look for things you’ll compromise on to the left?”

To anyone from a non US system this is just sad. What is with the US libs thinking their separation of powers is remotely good instead of a deliberate attempt to avoide working class rule and maintain slavery? No sane person would give the US President the monarchical powers he has, even France is more limited.
