Commiunism

Even those 2 parts are usually not enough.

If you look at 2 red years in Italy or the worker uprisings in Germany shortly before Nazis got in, there was plenty of revolutionary class consciousness with factories being taken over and constant gunfights, but there was no one to lead them making them an easy target for the military.

Usually, bad excuses are just an indicator that someone doesn’t care and just wants you to not bother them about it, rather than a “i’m interested but concerned here are my arguments”.

Yeah, old anarchists were outright against it.

Also, campaign implies an organized effort, but these individual murders are anything but. Essentially what we got so far weren’t campaigns or even events necessarily, but mere spectacles. Momentary and fleeting, lasting until news cycles stop reporting on it and move on

Maybe, but healthcare question was already the biggest in US, with endless talks because it doesn’t suit business interests.

Besides, sympathy alone won’t bring about change, which is the goal.

Literally 196 shooter, put them up to the chair for writing cringe like that alone

And no, propaganda of the deed has been shown to not work in Luigi’s case. It’s literally been more than 9 months, it didn’t inspire the public at large at all (unless you count online larping) and just another lone wolf who from what I can see just recently got into leftism.

The domain name is a red flag in itself, but looking through steam underground I did find someone with plenty of comments under their belt saying how they got files for some game they shared from that site and 0 mentions of it being malware, so it’s probably okay.

That being said, I’d personally recommend just using bottles for piracy, don’t even bother with native linux ports given how they’re usually worse than windows versions running through DXVK/Vulkan (except maybe Factorio given it’s Linux unique optimizations) using Bottles or something for added security - it’s safer to download them too given how many trustworthy repackers package them.

The coup was lowkey the best and worst thing that happened to Allende. His policy of “revolution through reform” and the way he went about implementing it was genuinely nonsensical if you read about it (going for some half-baked ground between capitalism and socialism that just didn’t work and was a large part why the insane inflation happened + didn’t dismantle capitalist power structures which all but guaranteed the coup to happen eventually), but because of the coup that’s all swept under the rug and he’s a martyr.

That’s quite fast, it’s only been a week after the shooting and they’re already using the precedent.

To be fair, a lot of leftists are pro-nationalism, so it’s not inconsistent for them to demand hundreds of nationalistic ethnostates for indigenous populations. It’s a sad state of affairs

Learned CS/Coding at school, ended up with a factory job in manufacturing.

The meme is right, it is a pretty balling existence all things considered

Never said that the relationship was the same, only that exploitation still existed back then, though I must admit I worded my sentence poorly.

Granted, you’re painting the guild relationships as if they were merely teaching devices, while that’s far from the truth and just falls to medieval ideological propaganda. In reality, they were an early form of “capitalist exploitation” for the lack of a better term in a pre-capitalistic society, it’s very similar to the surplus value extraction that we see today. The master owned the tools, workshop, guild membership, etc which constituted as means of production of that time. The apprentice sold their labor power and essentially themselves thanks to the contracts in exchange for subsistence which is literally what wages are designed to do also.

The other forms were different though, yes, but they were still exploitative. Marx didn’t write “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.” for no reason.

They (serfs) also could just leave if they wanted to find a new place to live, which was a lot easier then than it is now. It wasn’t the false choice of today where you work or starve.

That’s literally false - serfs were legally tied to their land and lord, and the only way out was if they were either let go or escaped to some town offering freedom. This obligation was hereditary too, and getting your own land/home was pretty much impossible given how ingrained in aristocrat culture owning land was, with the sale of land being a great dishonor on your lineage and family.

Are we literally falsifying feudalism now, is that what’s happening

We can make it different, but it doesn’t mean that we’ll be able to abolish coercion entirely.

If instead of commodity production we moved past it, abolished current means of coercion (money) and instead pushed for planned economy that focuses on meeting everyone’s needs, there would still be a need for some pressure to fill all the needed positions to meet all the production quotas.

It’d still be kilometers better than “get any job so capitalist extracts money from you or starve”, and is radical but still coersive nonetheless.

Capitalism has fundamental contradictions that lead it to crisis, contradictions that government intervention can’t handle.

You have monopolies naturally occurring due to snowball effect that get recreated even after government break ups, inherent overproduction that happens due to the nature of commodity production, wage labor and surplus value extracting ensuring that it’s physically impossible to buy everything that we make, and so on. This shit causes wars, crises, etc

There were still classes back in the day, serfdom, slavery, guilds that had similar exploitation to wage labor. There was plenty of coercion to get labor done.

Reminds me of Romania right now where the centrist candidate that won the presidential elections (and tons of people on here celebrated because it wasn’t a reactionary right-winger) refused to ban and straight up endorsed legionary and fascist organizations to “fight communism”

Article in Romanian, though using machine translation will get the general idea across

Thought it was obvious given how “every person in the world” and “practical” was in the same comment lol

Ok but have you considered that if literally every person on the planet did this, climate change would immediately be fixed??

You’re just a HATER of practical solutions… /s

What you’re describing is essentially Keynesian economics which we had till the 70’s or 80’s, and it did fall out of favor, replaced by neoliberalism that we know now.

The reason why was essentially capitalism - historical conditions why high rate of profit that allowed keynesiasm disappeared (such as war which tends to lead to massive profits via destruction of capital, still expanding global markets and US hegemony over the economy), so the rate of profit fell. People lost jobs, wages couldn’t be raised and state couldn’t really do much about it without pumping a ton of money via intervention, so instead what we got was attacks on labor organization, privatization and deregulation.

The only chance to return to that kind of economy (and by that I mean if everyone collectively forgot about neoliberalism too) would be through another world war and its unprecedented destruction of capital. Even then it’d be temporary again until rate of profit declines, as it does with capitalism regardless of economic system.
