I learnt over a decade ago never to trust anyone who thinks of Tor (or ) as a bad thing, terrorist tool or whatever. Worked pretty well against my blabbermouth family and friends.
I get what you’re saying, but for my daily protest comment against Reddit; there is no such thing as a terrorist tool. Tools aren’t good or bad, but they can be used for good or bad. This has been another comment which added nothing to the conversation. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
More like proto-Emo. We hadn't evolved full Emo yet. We had bouts of sadness, but with more aggressive overtones and parts where we just yelled before going back to being sad and quiet again.
OWS was run by anarchists. They had zero goals or leadership, and they actually seemed proud of that fact. It’s kind of mind-boggling that they thought they could accomplish anything by simply camping out indefinitely.
In view of that, I really can’t blame the identitarians for trying to co-opt. If they had won, there would’ve at least been goals and an agenda, instead of…sitting in tents all day.
It would help if people would stop being deliberately obtuse for the sake of sounding intelligent while making a political statement. Wtf does your comment even mean, lol
I have tried to drive people away from watching History Channel due to what it instills in people’s heads. It has a load of Anglo supremacist propaganda, especially USA. They have a program they run on it for Indians, so India gets their 1% share of respect, and they feel they are together with the Anglo “tribe”, and not like those Egyptian/Chinese “aliens”.
The USSR and CCP were/are Marxist states. Saying they weren’t is just a cope from American socialists who feel the need to defend leftism anywhere, presumably because dumbasses think all socialists need to answer for every flaw while capitalism always has “context.”
Regardless, they, and various social democracies, did do something America refuses to, solve homelessness and hunger (after some… Initial difficulties).
I don’t particularly like the concept of the welfare state but it’s better than nothing and union busting.
I find that most people talking about the “extremes” tend to not be able to define what, exactly, they find so terrible about the idea that the workers should be the primary beneficiaries of their work.
Because that’s all left/right is. If you want to talk about the pitfalls of Marxist-themed authoritarianism I’m all ears but it isn’t “extreme socialism” anymore than fascism or an absolute monarchy is “extreme capitalism.”
And, just for the record, the wealth gap is growing faster in Scandinavia than America. The ruling classes might deign to take care of the most vulnerable but the model doesn’t actually solve the underlying problems, it just treats the most severe symptoms.
Which is better than nothing, I’ll take a ruling class that believes in noblesse oblige over one that does not, but the cancer remains. The system funnels wealth to the owner class, it can not do anything else without breaking.
Both communist and capitalistic systems have different expressions of socialist programs. It’s too bad that the transition from capitalist to communist economies stops at the authoritarian stage.
Socialism is the workers owning the means of production. It is not welfare programs. It is not a “socialist” program to give a starving person bread, it is a state run charity, and they make damn well sure it’s both hard to get and try to shame you for needing it.
When society was largely feudal, was it “socialism” when the king hosted a public feast to celebrate selling his daughter to a rival warlord? Or was it him giving some of the peasant’s taxes back to them and expecting gratitude?
It’s a good thing they haven’t X-Rayed it yet. That might change the course of history. Although I suppose not as much as stopping life from ever existing on the Earth in the first place.
