This happens in red and blue states. Additionally, conservative ideology is based in liberalism, with added brushes with fascism as compared to blue states.

So you just wanted attention, and don’t actually know what you’re talking about, got it. Sad, but I understand.

Is it twisting into knots to acknowledge that Marx was a human, and not a wizard? Marx wasn’t a prophet, but he was a damn good analyst and predicted tons of things correctly, such as his analysis of Capitalism. You would have a point if issues like rising disparity, rampant consumerism infecting every inch of people’s lives, stagnating wages with respect to productivity, and more happen to prove him exactly correct.

Again, you haven’t read Marx. You just take the intellectual high road and dodge when confronted.

How? Mind elaborating, or are you deadass just saying it’s purely vibes? Explain.

Movies need smaller budgets to be good again. Same with games.

Why does labeling management “government” suddenly make the tools shittier? Is there a mystical quality to Capitalist managers of Capital?

Add Dead Cells, from Motion Twin, an Anarcho-Syndicalist worker co-op.

It certainly brings in Profit. It doesn’t “work” as in provide value to society, but it certainly works in making profit.

Its part of why the Profit motive is fundamentally flawed and encourages manipulation, addiction, and general bullshittery.

What a concise way of saying you’ve never read Marx.

Marx couldn’t have predicted the computer revolution, but absolutley predicted how Capital might react to suppress revolution. The US is well past the point at which revolution would have naturally occurred, but because of factionalism, Imperialism, and other methods by which the interests of the Proletariat have been veiled from them have caused Capitalism’s natural death to take on a form of hospice care. Computers managed to bring about revitalization in Capital, only now is it increasingly becoming worse as Capital gains more fuel to entrench itself.

If you seriously think Marx wrote his conclusions before writing, you haven’t read Marx, full-stop.

What is he wrong about? In detail. Doesn’t have to be a book, but justify your claim with definitive proof.

Yea, that’s not at all what has happened historically. Democratic, Capitalist countries have killed millions of civilians with the audacity to challenge their extremist views too, does that mean they are as bad as fascism? Fuck no. Equating Communism to fascism is fascist apologia, because historically Communists have not been nearly as bad as fascists.

It doesn’t matter where I live, Communism is the standard for the left in a global scale. Marxism is the foundation of the left, and Communism is the ideology of Marxists. Unless you’re horribly confused and mean to refer to the Overton Window, left and right don’t change based on location.

All in all I think you’re confusing left and right with the Overton Window.

Most people on the left are Communists. You using Communist as an analog with Fascism is blatant proof that you have in fact not touched grass nor actually engaged with leftists. Most people on the right are liberals.

I absolutely can, that’s a horribly bad-faith interpretation of my point. Personalities among Communists and fascists are completely different, and if you have touched grass you would know that. Unless you’re so privileged you’ve never had to care, of course.

What policies?

Do you have any actual points or do you just mald online without adding any substance?

Socialism isn’t welfare.

Hundreds of Millions have died under tyrannical Capitalism built on the sentiment you’re expressing here. No Communist wants to hold people down, they want to build people up. It’s Capitalists that want to hold people down, as without doing so the bourgeoisie would not exist.

By that definition, there aren’t many Tankies on this platform at all. I haven’t seen a single person uncritically glorifying any of those states.

It’s pretty simple. Most MLs critically support ML states. Almost all of them, for example, hate that Stalin banned homosexuality. At the same time, they can also appreciate how both Mao and the USSR doubled life expectancy and ended famine. By metrics, both states improved rapidly.

As an Anarchist, you can learn a lot from MLs on how to actually get stuff done. Anarchism is a beautiful dream currently, outside of fringe cases like Revolutionary Catalonia it hasn’t actually existed to a meaningful extent. I’m not saying you should become an ML, but MLs typically take their routes because it gets results, even if the Means aren’t pretty at all.

I’m saying this as a non-ML Marxist.
