My apologies, I've been washing dishes.

The true spirit of the revolution lives in the Irony-Bro. gun-felix mao-shining

I legit got an esophageal ulcer because I was making my chili too hot. :/

It gets sold as you only need to do it once, but it is something that needs constant attention and requires a review of those who say they follow The Revolution to make sure they still continue to do so.

Absolutely, no disagreement on that position.

I think that's kind of true of all political programs though, to some extent. Everything is of course subject to entropy.

Those are still good channels to check out though, if you're interested. :3

You're not wrong, the entire point of Marxist Internationalism & Solidarity is precisely to combat that tendency. In short, this is not really a counter-argument to Marxism, precisely because the vast majority of Marxist theory (that written between the Revolutions of 1848, and the revolutions in Russia & China) are written in exactly that context, and exists to address & make the argument to workers why that's a bad idea for them to do.

Of course getting people to accept & understand that is harder than just saying it; but the point is that this isn't something Marxists are unawares of. If you are interested in further (digestable) info on the topic I would suggest the youtube channels Jonas Čeika - CCK Philosophy, Hakim, Yugopnik & Second Thought.

No, but it would look fundamentally different than what it does right now. One of the core premises is that culture & politics are inextricably formed out of property relations & the distribution of economic surpluses.

My position is that we should federate with all currently extant Lemmy instances & fight everybody all at once.

TBH, posting here has kind of sucked shit for the last two years, and I mainly stuck around due to the legacy, and also personal obstinance. 👀

That's a bit of a non-sequitur in this instance don't you think? We're not talking about what the name of a place is, but rather how the two countries' citizenry feel about their respective governments.

[–] 1nt3rd1m3nt10n4l@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

but ultimately i feel like if we want a place isolated from outsiders (an ideal which hexbear has never actually been) then we should build that secondary to federation through community-level and user-level controls.

I don't even understand why people want that, it sounds like shit; tbh.

As a r/CTH grognard, I personally would want to be able to get the old sub culture back, but I suppose that time erodes all things & that you can't really turn its hands backwards shrug-outta-hecks
