When the fuck have "moderate liberals" fixed a single thing

Validity of theory isn't based on what its writers do, but on what its students do. It's a social science and without practical application it is absolutely worthless.

Marx, Engels and Lenin have been proven right by the practice of Marxist-Leninists, it isn't the rule that the best theorists are also revolutionary leaders, but revolutionary leaders by their success prove the worth of the theory they applied to their circumstances.

I've never met a Bordiga follower whose achievements amount to more than writing in opposition to AES. You didn't need to read leftcoms for that.

More than enabling competition the strength of FOSS is that it enables cooperation.

One guy in his bedroom can't build a huge enterprise level app, but a hundred people working on what they have expertise at? They absolutely can

Y'all already have the one constitutional right that'll solve this

They have "thin margins" because the C suite charges about 50k per email sent. Fucking parasites.

And then they'd just sell it anyway because who the fuck is gonna do anything to them

Bordiga lmao

I don't do shit but hate on communists, and that's the truly revolutionary stance.

I dont oppose colonialism

Capitalism spent centuries being the secondary mode of production under feudalism before the bourgeoisie had developed the productive forces enough to transition away from feudalism. The USSR, Albania and others attempted to force a socialist mode or production before the productive forces were sufficiently developed and it didn't work. China's strategy of development of the productive forces has had very little downside and I think it's unreasonable and kind of suspect to want them to turn back (to policies that ultras would also condemn for one reason or another, as they always do). Poverty fetishism isn't Marxist and isn't scientific.

Or you could just read The State and Revolution where Lenin goes into it for about a hundred pages. It's been out for over a century.

What the fuck is an authoritarian government? The entire point of government is to wield authority.

The split of a nation state into multiple smaller ones, usually along cultural or ethnic lines as in the Balkan states, Yugoslavia having split into Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia

I just twisted up into funny shapes like Professor Crocker shouting "Operation Gladio"

The government that is currently considering layoffs for a big chunk of the CIA, the bedrock of anti-insurgency? The one that just jettisoned USAID and has put vampire appointments on every federal regulatory body? Is that what centralizing and strengthening itself looks like?

If the US balkanizes, "Democrat" and "Republican" isn't where the split will happen. Less than half the voting population even identifies with either party, ffs.

There's plenty of cultural, religious and legal splits that could lead to a split. California is the obvious example, which would have to split with or take over Nevada and Colorado for the river and the dam. Texans has never been shy about longing for their own microstate and the swamp south has about as much in common with Seattle or Illinois as they do with British Columbia, if that.

It is Mussolini, the partisans executed him and his mistress and dumped in the city square. People beat up and stoned their corpses before they were strung up, badly disfiguring them.

Not to be a party pooper but we've seen it before. Hell, we're seeing it right now with Kid Starver's labor party.

Libs will claw back an unenthusiastic win, worry about The Economy ™️ (huge bankers and financiers), crack down on leftists then happily get dogwalked by conservatives with a vengeance the next cycle.

The games employ a lot of scammy dark patterns and rapidly, drastically diminishing returns to convince you to make ten purchases when you could have reasonably expected two would get you a free item. The game rules and terms of service basically amount to "Temu reserves the right to change everything for any reason at any time".

There's also a lot of misguiding listings where there's no option to buy everything in the picture. The products themselves are usually decent, but the way they sell them is absolutely disgusting.

I thought y'all needed all the guns to defend yourselves from tyranny.

I'm just saying, none of this shit would fly if the BPP was still around.

What about the advocacy team that will bend over to whatever dodgy shit megacorporations wan.

Edit: nvm, I just remembered they completely shut off the advocacy division. Probably will shut off a bunch of other shit before they touch the execs.
