The color palette is just so damn calming

You data isn't hoarded up and sold by the likes of meta etc.

OK this is cool

OH MY GOD I GET MY OWN MEME. THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

PS. I love how its probably not getting any doe pussy. Not being presumptuous.

And risk being cursed and turned into a deer. No thank you

Do not question the wisdom of road signs. They know secrets we know nothing of

How else could I possibly masturbate?

Ooooh. Thanks for the info.

No I'm not claiming capitalism disproves dialectics, but perverts it. A pest that resists larger historical changes for very long stretches.

All dialectic movement is contained within the system and not breaking through.

I do like the idea of Lenin in regards to revolution. Hadn't heard of this before.

Tis a common statement these days. Means one would truly put in effort, go above and beyond if they really cared.

Getting snacks is nice but a seafood boil would be extravagant. The names of those snacks are seafood themed, hence implying the small is big.

Did ya ask for an invite by any chance??

Thanks for the reply. I've seen you around before with good takes.

Honestly that was a thought I put in writing for the first time and took barely a moment to write with not much thought behind it. It was a mostly instinctual idea.

I'll try to rewrite it better.

Capitalism mutates through its contradictions—think of “ethical consumption” absorbing critiques of exploitation.

The dialectic doesn't lead to radical rupture as expected, but instead to ideological synthesis that maintains systemic continuity.

Instead

States and capitalist systems do change, post-2008 financial regulations, pandemic-related economic interventions, or global shifts like China's state-capitalist hybrid. Just in less revolutionary forms than Marx predicted. (I feel this claim could be disputed).

Contradictions produce systemic adaptation rather than rupture, challenging the revolutionary assumptions of some classical Marxist reading. (Perhaps this is more airtight, although still vague)

I'm trying to form an idea of how systems of power adapt to survive, often by co-opting critique.

Modern capitalism and state systems have evolved mechanisms that absorb and deflect dialectical contradictions, transforming potential crises into forms of stability. This raises the question of whether contemporary power systems have short-circuited dialectical transformation by preemptively synthesizing dissent.

I think this gets my point across better.

Also yes. Maybe historical materialism is a better framework to work with, my brain always says Hegelian dialectic even if my idea has nothing to do with the spirit.

Although I wanna consider other dialectic systems. I'm open to an Althusserian or psychoanalytic view. Maybe I could explore this with the lens of ideological jouissance.

Imperialism is also capitalism in a more conscious sense imposing itself. Its not a different system overtaking capitalism, it is still a capitalist system.

(This was just me thinking out loud, there maybe contradictions here but thanks for getting my brain juices flowing.)

I would argue that none of those systems are socialist but I honestly have no mental energy for that. Thats not smth I find worth arguing over.

I'm reading what I wrote and wanna add a few things.

I feel like I'm not clear about formal and structural transformation.

Capitalism has demonstrated a remarkable ability to reconfigure around contradiction. But I'll accept there may be thresholds which I think you were saying, just not in those cases or any significant case I can think of either.

I see the capitalist resistance as global.

I think I could relate this to Gramsci by using the idea of hegemony becoming common sense or capitalist realism. Maybe even Marcuse' one dimensional man.

Also the more lacanian idea of enjoyed failure.

(I'm again confused where to go from here lol)

Literally imprinted in so many peoples memory its insane. Him and psy

Honor to be here. Seen so much development and a lot of projects and initiatives by db0 in particular in that time. Can't believe its only been 2 years!

I feel like I've been here for longer and therefore the instance for even longer lol.

PS. btw I think the pro piracy, pro anarchy stance being so direct is a very important reason for the constant growth.

Hope this instance keeps flourishing for years to come.

Gotta start early to get ahead

Then why don't they carry walki talkies and say 'on your 6' to each other when one gets too close? Are they stupid?

Now I'm thinking of that reddit dude who was fucking his mom (was later confirmed to be true)

Guy with the broken arm who's mum offered to wank him
