That’s not even where the term originates. Come on, if you’re going to use the term at least do the 10 second Google search.
100 percent agreed. They’ll group anything too far left of them under the same name. Don’t care anymore. If they want to whine then fuck it, I’ll wear the term.
The .world libs just couldn’t help themselves but ruin our circlejerk.
Sure fuck it. I’ll Tankie. Castro is a hero. Western news knows nothing of glorious DPRK Juche, and comrade Stalin did nothing wrong.
Yes.
Maybe I’m just an old man now, but I feel like you’re overthinking it. If you feel it’s worth another try call him and take the initiative to suggest something. If not, don’t.
Don’t ask strangers what to do when you know what you want inside. My first date with my wife was us with a group of mutual friends at the zoo, then she pretty much decided I belonged to her. So I’m not really one to tell you who should pay or whatever.
Life is too damn short to overthink these things.
The rest of the world knows what’s going on and is a lot to work around the US since our politicians don’t have the balls to do the right thing.
Nice: "Thank you for the input, I prefer to do it the way I have been, which is equally effective and works for me. If you believe it is causing issues elsewhere in our workflow we can bring it up with manager "
Less Nice: “I understand, but no thank you.”
Less nice than that: While maintaining direct eye contact, “No.”
Not nice: “Shouldn’t you be doing your job and not mine?”
Satisfying, but likely get you fired: “Fuck off.”
And nonfederated social media. Not just that one.
The nice thing about Lemmy is that I can say “I hope he dies” and won’t get banned.
Fuck ‘Bibi’, Fuck Israel.
Please do. Control was such a hidden gem. I picked it up in a humble bundle and it absolutely blew me away.
Yep. Can confirm, I can’t even look at them anymore without feeling that bile rise.
That said. I miss MXE. Since the UK banned it I haven’t found it anywhere.
I’m a 14kyu on online-go.com. I suppose that counts.
The end stage of the dialectic is that, yes. But that’s doesn’t just appear from nothing. Read state and Revolution or What is to be done.
At this point the war is a stalemate. Given that, Ukraine’s requirements for peace are… well they don’t have the “war-score” to try for those options yet. TBH I don’t think they want peace without those requirements, and Russia isn’t beat enough to agree. So peace is just off the table for now. Which suggests it was never a serious offer anyway.
Don’t be naive. He’s was quoting comrade Lyudmila. You’re being needless pedantic. Cops murder civilians and enforce an inherently violent system.
Ah so playing semantics to dismiss the point. Issue is that the US then puts pressure on anyone else dealing with Cuba including their neighbors, so yes, the entire continent of North America is effectively sanctioning Cuba.
I’d take the study a lot more seriously if the people financing it weren’t literally tied to the US/UK governments…
So… Not to techbro this, but can we crowdfund this and accidentally reinvent the revolution?
That’s interesting… Communism is by definition stateless and without significant hierarchy. I don’t think other Tankies would disagree with me there.
The ideological difference is in how we achieve communism. I would really suggest reading ‘What is to be Done’ by Lenin. It’s a real short read but was one of the things that sold me on Marxism-Leninism vs. regular “Communism is a neat idea”
Capitalism will sell you the “you’re your own boss, go forth an conquer” all while keeping you under their heel. There is no equality or opportunity there; but even worse is that they will worm their way into any system that does not harshly and consistently fight back against them. Ergo the need for a ‘communist’ (or rather pursuing communism) state.
That then leads into “Well how does the state go away once we’ve got communism?” That’s a whole 'nother can of worms…
