“That’s just automation/ai/technology stop being Luddite. People losing jobs is good because accelerationism.”

I guess he chose personal profit over communism. Sad to think people would do it, especially after they’ve learnt so much.

Also:

I seriously read through most of Marx, Lenin, Nietzsche, Camus, Popper, Hegel, Kant, McLuhan, Sartre, de Beauvoir, Baudrialluad, Butler, Foucault, Shelley, etc

Holy motherfucking shit.

How’s he reactionary? I’m serious. I don’t know shit about him other than the memes but this is like suddenly hearing Chomsky or Parenti are reactionary anti-commies.

1. Go out.

2. Don’t not go out.

Edit: Were prisoners in gulags paid for their labor?

Accelerationism, that is, letting fascism run wild in the hopes of that building up a socialist alternative, is a ludicrous ideology that will only lead to millions of deaths.

that’s just accelerationism.

I mean, the analogy breaks down, so maybe I shouldn’t have carried on with it.

I meant organising unions and co-ops and parties is easier under social democracy than under fascism.

I mean, yeah, social democracy is not socialism. It’s capitalism. It will not directly lead to socialism. But opposing carrots is objectively easier than sticks.

?

The entire post is about how expecting elected officials to enact socialism is pointless. That happens outside of congress. But a social democratic congress is much better and conducive to socialism than one that’s not.

That’s just wrong and and this kind of rhetoric only hurts the most marginalised amongst us. The Democrats are not the ones passing anti-trans and anti-abortion bills.

There is a different between Democrats and Republicans and the only people who benefit from hiding that fact are the Republicans.

What?

No, AOC is not going to bring about socialism. That’s my point. Expecting that of her, and being disappointed when she doesn’t deliver, is ludicrous. She’s not going to just go in and break things. She’ll get booted next term and be replaced by a neoliberal who’ll just make things worse. Her job is to do as much good for as many people as possible by working within the system.

Do you disagree?

Edit: The original comment was pretty hurtful. I’m sorry. The only relevant portion was how would not having an inner monologue work.

wdym?

True.

I am currently reading it! Marx is such a good, but dense writer. I tried reading some “introductions” and “explanations” by others but tbh, it’s just better to read him directly.

The video goes in-depth about testing the theory and concludes there isn’t any empirical proof for it. Not so much challenging it on philosophical grounds.

all people subbed to r/monarchism should be subjugated under my rule.

i promise i’ll be a kind, just ruler.

now lick my shoes.
