G5 was perfect. The fact they make a new version every couple of years and every one is worse than the last, instead of simply keep making G5, is so telling.
Do you reckon abolishing imperialism and capitalism will improve the state of the gaming industry from the perspective of a Western consumer who wants a steady supply of innovative and vibrant video games and related media like twitch streams etc, not to mention the hardware needed to play them?
And that was what pushed you left?
If given everything happening around us you get angry over video games, probably there’s no direct path to the left.
But “angry about genocide / abject poverty / failing social services / so on and forth” pipeline to the left exists and that’s the important one.
diamat sucks, change my mind
yeah they always compare the west as it is now with communist countries 50-100 years ago, right after the revolution, in the middle of civil war and famine, encircled by capitalist aggression etc.
unsurprising really, if your analysis by definition doesn’t account for material conditions and is purely idealistic, nothing stops you from comparing societies from different time periods, on different stages of economic and technical development, etc.
Sounds like a cyberpinocchio (only people raised in the USSR will understand)
I had a look, shame. Thanks for telling me.
I don’t get this, is Shea a nazbol? I read a few of his articles and liked them
Demsocs to socdems:
You support Röhm because you want gay representation. I support Strasser because I want worker-orientated politics. We are not the same.
Depression is simply doomerism, it should be a wojak doomer

Noisy minority?
In a society where the following is normalised:
Calling regular bombing of civilian population in Gaza “mowing the lawn”
Organising large communal picnics atop a hill to watch the “fireworks” of aforementioned bombings for enjoyment
Crowds loudly cheering and celebrating fire breaking out in Palestine mosque
Calling restricting food inflow to Gaza to sustenance level “putting Arabs on diet”
You are completely misinformed.
First of all “kulaks” were not working peasants who lived self-sufficiently off farming their land and raising their livestock, you are thinking of “serednyaks”, the class below kulaks in the 4-tier rural class system of Imperial Russia. Kulaks were rural loan sharks and land owners who did not work but rather lived off extortionate interest rates from loans to “serednyaks” and from exploiting the labour of “bednyaks” (literally “the poor”) and, mainly, the seasonal labour of “batraks” who were the class below “the poor” - many of them homeless, traveling from village to village and working quite literally for a bit of food and a place to sleep in the barn.
If you intend to keep talking publically about kulaks, do look into those classes, look up who batraks were and what kind of life they lead before the revolution, the mortality, the diseases, how many they were compared to the number of kulaks. Find out what dekulakisation brought not only for kulaks, but also for that huge number of serednyaks, bednyaks, and batraks they exploited. Find out what dekulakisation did to overall child mortality, child hight, life expectancy, and so on.
Second, kulaks were not murdered, they were eliminated as an economic class by removing the relataionship of exploitation. Their lands were taken and given to the people, and the ones who resisted were deported with their families.
