For some reason liberals exclusively look to internal conditions of countries, and through positive bias, when deciding the Nordic countries are an example of Capitalism “working.” Internationalism doesn’t exist to them.

Capitalism in decline finds new ways to exploit to counter the overall Tendency for the Rate of Profit to Fall.

Is this dialectics?

But the point of the meme is that Liberals denounce other systems like Socialism as “tyranny,” yet support what Leftists would consider weak platitudes yet ultimately tyrannical control from Capital. Adding another panel adds nothing to the message of this meme.

The meme wouldn’t work then, liberals don’t actually support what you describe. Thinking something would be good isn’t the same as supporting it, you can’t vibe systems into being. Just because I want 1 million dollars to fall into my lap from thin air doesn’t mean I can actually support that.

Nice, a 2 hour old wrecker spam account. Disgusting to see.

As someone who played The Frontier and even finished the NCR questline for it, I’ve been playing London a lot. I do want to say that those looking for full New Vegas level roleplaying are going to be disappointed. There are SPECIAL checks, and traits do make a return, but by and large this is closer to Fallout 3 than it is to New Vegas. Checks aren’t that frequent, this is more of a return to Fallout 3’s “horror RPG” style where roaming and exploring makes up the backbone of gameplay with quests meant to take you to new areas and dungeons, largely.

That being said, it’s a great game. There are problems with some of the writing, the Strike Quest where the outcome no matter what seems to be a resolution of two individuals and not the much larger number of striking workers is a horrible depiction of labor rights movements. However, the level design is generally really cool and atmospheric, and a lot of the concepts are extremely fresh.

More than anything, it makes me super excited to see the release of Fallout 4: New Vegas, Fallout: Cascadia, and Fallout: Miami. It’s a surprisingly great execution on a non-US Fallout, and feels fresh, but doesn’t reach the height of New Vegas.

That last detail is why I am so thrilled for Fallout 4: New Vegas. NV modding is incredible, don’t get me wrong, but the visual upgrade going from New Vegas fully graphically modded to Fallout 4 Vanilla is stark. Imagining playing through New Vegas but with nicer gunplay and graphical fidelity has me incredibly hopeful.

Yep, that’s more what I’m getting at. Dialectical Materialism helps frame the variables at play, and might help show what variables can actually be tweaked, but makes no description of how to tweak.

She wrote that in 2014, under Obama, where Capitalism was still the status quo. Capitalism is escapable, but not via Democrats or Republicans.

Dialectical Materialism is more for analyzing problems correctly, not solving them outright. It’s useful for conflict analysis, such as Israel/Palestine. Israel is an Imperialist tool employed by the US to maintain pressure in the Middle East, which is why the US invests so heavily in it. In turn, there is a material basis for exceptionalism and nationalism among Israelis, along with a drive for more land via settler-colonialism. This results in a dehumanizing effort against Palestinians, resulting in genocide, and in turn conflict.

Solving this means undoing the Imperialism and going with a One-State solution, eliminating the base of the problems represented through the Superstructure.

Politzer’s Elementary Principles of Philosophy is a great intro to DiaMat.
