Wer braucht schon die AfD? Würde mich aber nicht wundern, dass nachdem “die bürgerliche Mitte” sowas salonfähig macht, mehr Leute zum “Original” der AfD greifen…

uuu time for one of my fav sentences lul

The worst thing the Bolsheviks did was give Ayn Raynd an education

btw here is a step by step guide to Ayn Raynd’s life:

1: be born into obscene wealth

2: be 12, a civil war breaks out, flee to white-controlled crimea

3: the reds win, nationalise the fathers pharmacy

3.5: the reds win, without that she would have never seen a university from the inside

4: be 16 and among the first women to go to university

7: fuck off to the US to whine and cry

8: write incoherent, economically completely unfeasible, idealist defense of a hypothetical capitalism

9: profit

(this is shamelessly copied from a Reddit comment)

In what world? Outside of the shitposting of some political internet bubbles Stirner is practically unheard of, while Engels is a cornerstone of scientific socialism and materialist philosophy in general

mbmb, didn’t pay enough attention in Bioshock

alsaaas, 7 months ago

the more you know, lol

A few (good and one time buy) games off the top of my head (is that how you use the expression/idiom?):

Obviously commie games:

• Disco Elysium
• Cruelty Squad

Might or might not be commie, but definitely progressive:

• Bioshock series

honourable mentions:

• Vitoria 3 (who would have thought that a democratically controlled and publicly owned economy would be meta? does have a nasty dlc policy tho)
• Partisans 1941 (you play the story of soviet partisans on the eastern front, what more is there to say?)
• everything from the studio “Kremlingames” (they make political sims about eastern block countries, without glorifying them)
• Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic (eastern block “City: Skylines”)
• VA-11 Hall-A (good vn in a cyberpunk dystopia, does not rly have a political theme tho iirc)

alsaaas, 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago)

not rly, you don’t have studio level funding if you don’t optimize (the content) for revenue. same with large/aaa level games

edit: according to George Lucas, filmmakers in the USSR had more artistic freedom than he had when making Star Wars www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWqvaMEFIdI

Yes of course and eating trash is better than eating shit

alsaaas, 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago)

I get what you mean. Ofc class struggle has brought us many concessions, technology progresses over time and the industrialized countries add more and more abstraction layers to manual work.

My point would be that we do have to view the working conditions relative to what’s possible at the given time. Given the resources humanity has today, fully automated luxury (queer) space communism is within realistic reach!

It’s a similar answer as to world hunger: it’s a systematic distribution - not resource - problem. That being artificially created scarcity thanks to a profit and greed driven economic base (capitalism) and inequitable/inefficient allocation of resources (markets)

alsaaas, 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago)

Sorry to hear that… Maybe join a union and/or socialist party/org in your area to bring about change?

It’s ok if you don’t have the energy/motivation for that though… maybe just spread the word that a better world, where the economy is democratically controlled and owned by the public, is possible?

I’m sorry, how could I forget? smh 😔

Lmao, I don’t think they enjoy whidespread corporate usage tho. Also Excel is pretty much a synonym for spreadsheets in general at this point

alsaaas, 7 months ago

You have drawn a good lot it seems. Tho no matter how pleasant the job, you still create more value for your boss than you get paid back by them… (value extraction for profit lessss goooo)

alsaaas, 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago)

not rly, market machinations force co-ops to behave like for-profit capitalist companies regardless. The hell of capitalism is the firm, not the fact that it has a boss. Even if you have great conditions as a worker-owner, your privilege is just built on the backs of non-owner (aka. 2nd class) workers and outsourcing (see Mondragon in Spain for example)

Don’t get me wrong though: co-ops are still virtually always better than “standard” corporations imo. What I mean to say is that the systemic problem of capitalism is not solvable by just creating companies “of a new type”

alsaaas, 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago)

That’s why it makes me livid when landbastards talk about “passive income”… it’s just extorting money from working ppl (who actually create value) for the “privilege” of having one’s basic needs met

alsaaas, 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago)

The thing is: just owning the means for someone elses work is not a service you provide to others (ie. employment). That whole position (the private ownership of the means of others work) is redundant and leeches off of society

If you and your co-workers cut out the middle man…
