It’s not too bad for that, honestly. Some of the hobby stuff is really neat to see.

You gotta make your own fun on reddit. Lately, I’ve been posturing as a staunch Democrat, but that I believe Trump legitimately won in 2020.

There’s probably some comrades there, but it’s mostly transphobia, women getting struck by men videos, and debate bros. God turned his back on reddit.

Yeah, it is an interesting discussion, and to hear a world leader speak with an actual coherent ideological vision is crazy when I think about what I hear in the states.

I think it’s probably just a product of the US has no intention of reconciling any of the contradictions of capitalism, and that leads to this kind of “if we believe in each other, we can do this” platitudes.

Whereas Stalin wasn’t hindered by capitalism for the Soviet state project, or whatever you wanna call it. So you kind of get like a genuine assessment of what these systems of oppression are doing and what the west is accomplishing or failing to accomplish. Hope you’re enjoying it.

Ah, shit, yeah. I just fixed it.

There’s a lot to know about Stalin, I guess. I think it’s interesting in analyzing the historical forces, etc. But ultimately, he’s just a man. Not sure if the cosmic classification of good guys or bad guys is too useful. I do recommend this interview, very accessible and good info.

“But surely, no capitalist would ever agree to the complete abolition of unemployment, to the abolition of the reserve army of unemployed, the purpose of which is to bring pressure on the labour market, to ensure a supply of cheap labour. Here you have one of the rents in the “planned economy” of bourgeois society. Furthermore, planned economy presupposes increased output in those branches of industry which produce goods that the masses of the people need particularly. But you know that the expansion of production under capitalism takes place for entirely different motives, that capital flows into those branches of economy in which the rate of profit is highest. You will never compel a capitalist to incur loss to himself and agree to a lower rate of profit for the sake of satisfying the needs of the people. Without getting rid of the capitalists, without abolishing the principle of private property in the means of production, it is impossible to create planned economy.”

In this economy?

Ha! Room temp is probably more accurate. Can’t stand leaving those damn condensation rings from the can everywhere.

Watched The People Under the Stairs recently. Honestly, really good. Pretty explicitly leftist, and just a well done movie.

Interesting, didn’t know that. I usually see michelob ultra in the low carb crowd.
