  • As an in between social dem and Marxism I feel like generally people here are pretty cool with most opinions but leans left significantly. There is still lemmy.ml, hexbear and lemmygrad that is very toxic and an echo chamber.

  • Here's a link that with a definition. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalism

    Nationalism is an idea and movement that holds that the nation should be congruent with the state. As a movement, it presupposes the existence and tends to promote the interests of a particular nation, especially with the aim of gaining and maintaining its sovereignty (self-governance) over its perceived homeland to create a nation-state. It holds that each nation should govern itself, free from outside interference (self-determination), that a nation is a natural and ideal basis for a polity, and that the nation is the only rightful source of political power. It further aims to build and maintain a single national identity, based on a combination of shared social characteristics such as culture, ethnicity, geographic location, language, politics (or the government), religion, traditions and belief in a shared singular history, and to promote national unity or solidarity. There are various definitions of a "nation", which leads to different types of nationalism. The two main divergent forms are ethnic nationalism and civic nationalism.

    And here is another one https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalization

    Nationalization (nationalisation in British English) is the process of transforming privately-owned assets into public assets by bringing them under the public ownership of a national government or state.[1] Nationalization contrasts with privatization and with demutualization. When previously nationalized assets are privatized and subsequently returned to public ownership at a later stage, they are said to have undergone renationalization. Industries often subject to nationalization include telecommunications, electric power, fossil fuels, railways, airlines, iron ore, media, postal services, banks, and water (sometimes called the commanding heights of the economy), and in many jurisdictions such entities have no history of private ownership.

    Nationalization may occur with or without financial compensation to the former owners. Nationalization is distinguished from property redistribution in that the government retains control of nationalized property. Some nationalizations take place when a government seizes property acquired illegally. For example, in 1945 the French government seized the car-maker Renault because its owners had collaborated with the 1940–1944 Nazi occupiers of France.[2] In September 2021, Berliners voted to expropriate over 240,000 housing units, many of which were being held unoccupied as investment property.[3][4]

  • Nationalism is more about elevating a certain ethnic group and creating a nation in the process if needed. WW2 Germany was all about elevating Germans at the cost of everyone else. It rose to prominence in 18th century Europe when nations in Europe declared themselves as independent.

    Nationalizing is about taking a resource or a company and putting it into the hands of the state for the people.

    These are two completely different concepts with a small overlap.

  • This sounds like a worker cooperative which is a classic socialist concept that could be applied to modern social democrat capitalism.

    Since I straddle the line in my political views between Marxism and social democracy I'd like to share an approach.

    Mandatory profit sharing and workers always have a certain proportion of the board elected democratically. Simple as that. CEO bonuses should be made illegal and all of those profits should be funneled to the workers. People will be a lot more involved in the corporate governance and it will align the will of the workers with that of the shareholders.

    Economists say that in the long run productivity is everything and worker's having a for-profit voice that will make arguments like "we're losing our best workers because of low pay" to increase salaries is important. This will make each person higher paid and more productive.

    You guys know about Walmart, that one rose to success by profit sharing but capitalism got the better of it and now so many workers both time and money poor because they work there.

  • You can always log into a database and use raw SQL. For automation of your tasks you can put in some functions and stored procedures and later on you can always do something more graphical or even more SQL. You can do something like "exec create_note('Name of note')" and "exec notes()" and whatnot.

    Then if you want to do something more elaborate than viewing tables and do some formatting programming languages are pretty nice do make stringified versions of the notes and a nice way to browse them.

    Then to finish up using some nice bash packages to create a CLI interface is very fun. I like charmbracelet's stuff because it just looks nice and is easy to use. Here's a thing you can use to create something to select a note to view: https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum

  • Betting odds are 1:1.5 for Trump and 1:3 for Harris while Trump is slightly ahead in the polls. I'd still think it's a toss up since the Democratic election machine is going to kick into high gear and they have a pretty good youth angle by saying Trump is a relic of the past.
