these are right-wingers who support Yoon, want to justify the coup attempt, and want south Korea to forever be subservient to the US. they're the heirs to the tradition of collaboration with Imperial Japan. they want to remain junior partners in the US-Japan alliance
They protested his impeachment while carrying "Stop the Steal" signs and waving US flags. They're a combination of the usual old, retired people of the Taegukgi budae (who are often paid to protest) and the new generation of anti-feminist "angry young men"
>Men in their 20s and 30s, disillusioned by a perceived lack of social mobility, played a pivotal role in Yoon’s victory in the last presidential election, driven by anti-feminist sentiments and enthusiastic support for pledges like abolishing the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.

In the summer, Morse Tan, Dean of Liberty University School of Law and former US ambassador-at large for global criminal justice, went to Seoul National University to make a speech and rally support for Yoon, while claiming China was trying to take control of s. Korea with "fake ballots."

Tan also claimed the reason President Lee Jae-myung wasn't able to finish junior high and high school was because he was in juvenile detention for gang rape and murder. The actual reason was because he had to work at a factory from an early age due to extreme poverty.

The biggest rebutal I see in the eyes of the average person to "socialism" and "communism" is that it's utopic, that it relies on bad assumptions, that it doesn't work in reality etc. In essence, that we're advocating for something that can't be and that we have no alternative to capitalism.
And, to that effect, what are we even advocating for ? It appears to me that we have a bunch of different movements with many different goals that don't actually ressemble one another. Yet, despite this, very few of these movements have actual "models", it just seems like they want to reform or do a revolution for the sake of action rather than purpose.
Shouldn't we concentrate on clear objectives and goals before having all this talk about how marxism-leninism-maoism-gonzalo thought is superior to cybernetic-trotskism-councilism in achieving [we run into the problem here]?

>inb4 abolition of private property, abolition of capitalism, abolition of alienation

We can't actually base our objectives around these vagues goals though, or at least not at the current time and at the forefront. Abolition of private property doesn't mean anything if there's no framework to offer an alternative or to replace it. Marx laid us many goals but, given that he didn't specify what or how, shouldn't it be up to us to conceptualize the type of system which we want in accordance with the relevant theories he proposed.

Apart from small intellectuals scattered everywhere (Cockshott, Schweickart etc), there seems to be an evident lack of clear model that actually adresses the critique of marx's ambitions and dismisses its apparent utopianism.

And then Marx critiqued the concept later.
This is why most people don't like the Manifesto as much. He and Engels put down the starting blocks of the road to communism, he did not state the ENDGOAL which OP asked for.

>>2577826
>most socialist do have those
They don't retard. Show me one example of a major socialist/communist party that has clear goals by which they would resolve contradictions without falling further into other ones.

>not a thing outside the internet. you

It is very much a thing dumbass. Do you think that all the splintering doesn't mean anything ?

>yes you can. as a matter of fact

Is that why almost every socialist movement/organisation has failed anon? Perhaps there is something that was common in many of these (hint: might have to do with the fact that their models didn't work as intended ;] )

>no he didn't

Did you read the manifesto ? Do you know anything about what Marx did ? fucking dumbfuck

>because your country either doesn't have a communist party

Sure bro, France totally doesn't have one of the historically pro-eminent communist parties.

In other words, how do you take the different goals as criterias, whilst also not delving further into contradictions.

It's a bit of game theory somewhat. You can't just abolish private property because you have at some point to replace its capitalist mechanism with a new one.
This isn't contingent on local variations btw. How we do it is, but at some point there needs to be a new organization that supplants the capitalist one.

To give an example. Capitalism has private property. Whilst its management to allow for such property to exist varies, it always possesses certain characteristics that have to exist to guarantee some form of private property and commodity production : legalization of said-property, presence of trading hubs/exchange, presence of a wealth-owning class etc. Without these, private property can't exist. Thus, despite having an abstract goal (private property), and different local iterations (saudi arabia is capitalist but much different than Germany), there still remains a core which enables this type of property to exist.
We as socialist/marxists don't actually have one.

>>2579314
>And then Marx critiqued the concept later.
No, what he critiqued was the specific combo of labor notes with decentralized decisions in co-operatives. Capital was later than that. And CotGP is one of the last things he ever textiqued, so you failuriqued to get the order of events right.

>>2580571
Finally someone willing to comment that doesn't just reference vague statements about the development of productive forces and the withering of the state.
Interested in your perspective about potential future organisational methods? What do you think of a social network as a sort of hub for direct voluntary organisation of labour. Instead of wages and or private property, just straight suggestion and coordination if people are interested, if not, like a shit meme it goes unnoticed.
I know it can sound a bit retarded at first, but just look at events today, parties, huge protests that have legitimately destabilized governments (Arab spring), all prove the power of social networks in mass mobilization of voluntary energy. If it could translate to production of goods, it becomes real interesting.

Can one imagine, a group with such a clear and uncompromising position?

your arguments would be more convincing if you gave the impression of even a passing familiarity with scottish nationalism.

moreover: britain had another meme movement, Brexit, and that did comparatively minimal damage despite being given massive prominence from 2016-20. your sociology is terrible.

if you can indulge radical indifference that's great. if you want everyone else to be radically indifferent while you run your mouth, go away.

Apparently folks are still confused about the purpose of sex education. not on here necessarily but like in general

The first and most important component of sex ed is teaching children
a) How to recognize if an adult is sexually abusing you, and
b) What to do if an adult is sexually abusing you.

Comprehensive sex ed includes other topics, including discussion of what changes your body will go through in puberty and how to have safe sex, but those can and usually do come later.

Sex education needs to start as early as possible, because if kids don't start sex ed until age X, then pedophiles know they can more easily get away with abusing kids who are younger than X.

The people most likely to sexually abuse kids are their parents, which is why we need schools, not parents, to provide sex education.  

You likely can't teach a lesson about sexual abuse to a 1-day-old baby, but you absolutely can teach a 5-year-old.  

When you hear policymakers say "kindergarten is too young to get sex education," what they are really saying is that they want to rape kindergartners and not get caught.

Does anyone else has experience with obvious Steam moderators alt accounts?

it seems to happen so often that users jump into threads instigating others to attack them and then get people banned, this is a known fact.

however what i don't see enough people talking is how these accounts seem to go undetected by moderators if not downright a lot of them have moderators as friends

some of these go as far as to have groups with names like "cabal, cult" and such.

one would think it's just users weaponizing moderation

til you realize these users can go around breaking every single rule without getting banned for months, if at all.

some people claim their accounts have turned into "moderator magnets" in which you can't even engage in any discussion as moderator alt accounts will start to target you hoping you'll give them anything at all they can to stick a ban to you

the more common reason for these bans is that you were being "argumentative or combative"

I seriously cannot understand how monster hunter games are still the only games with a coherent ecology for their over worlds. From a developer standpoint, they shouldn’t be hard to implement—at least on a highly superficial level. Just separate neutral mobs from hostile mobs based off a zone so players have a choose between venturing off into places with dangerous territory vs venturing to hunting grounds. Ffs, we already have level bands and levelled areas, how hard is something like this to implement? I’m not even going deep on this like with realistic day/night cycles or mob migration. This is purely the superficial stuff.

I hate one page dungeons. All the prep work of keying your own dungeon, none of the fun creativity. Vidrel has such a point about some GMs wasting time prepping pointless factoids that only interest them. I know a guy like that with binders upon binders of notes for an RPG setting nobody will ever play in, and on the off chance they do he's going to bore them to death guaranteed.

>>45128
>binders upon binders of notes for an RPG setting nobody will ever play
Now make such an arcane TTRPG system, that would be challenging or near impossible to run irl, the game logic of your indie CRPG. Problem solved!

monster hunter has it relatively easy because the big monsters have overwhelming protagonism and it kind of opaques the rest of the small creatures, they just program a few simple routines for the big guys, some interactions with the aptonoths or whatever and that's enough to sell you on the fantasy of a real breathing world.

Any opinions?

Anticommunist sentiment is heavy in Romania, it's basically considered standard fact that Nicolae was an idiot and a horrible leader. People mostly associate communism with the heavy austerity measures he enacted to get rid of that imf debt. Still it's a mixed bag, younger people are inundated with 30 years of anti communist nationalist ruling ideology, but they're not stupid either they can tell things aren't much better now either and getting worse. For older people it's a mix of that, their personal experience under the system, nostalgia and things being different and/or better back then.

I watched this movie from Romania that goes kind of into that situation. "I'm an old communist hag", would recommend if you want to get a sense of the more positive/nostalgic aspects of Romanian's view towards the communist era. Romania has a lot of good movies in general

Also Ceaușescus popularity is in the youth as well to the point the Romanian government is clamping down on it. Look at this anti-commie burger get upset about some young university students saying positive things about the socialist period. These are supposed to be the most pro-EU

Being into femboys doesn‘t make a man gay or bisexual. This may sound like a cope to avoid admitting to being either, but think about it.

Men who are into femboys are usually men who are also into women. And what they are into in femboys is a heteronormative presentation of femininity. Such men are usually not into men who look like men. One could then argue this is a preference, but a preference would mean that they are still into men but merely prefer this type of man. This isn‘t the case for men who into femboys though. Of all the people who are male they aren‘t turned on by any of them except femboys. So it‘s not a preference, it‘s exclusivity. Finally, men who are into femboys are generally not interested in sucking dick or being fucked in the ass.

We either conclude that 1) this is bisexuality but a very, very limited form of it with peculiarities that make it distinct from ordinary bisexuals who are attracted to average men, or 2) it is heterosexuality, but a redefined version whose basis isn‘t biology but certain signifiers and presentation, or 3) these men are standard heterosexuals but given enough female elements the gullible human brain mistakes it for a woman and lights up the horny center of the male brain. Evolution did not foresee cute, horny femboys and therefore didn‘t exclude it as a pointless mating option.

Why do people use the industrialization and subsequent rise of the standard of living in Russia and China as proof of the success of socialism when neither countries were and are socialist. Socialism being defined as worker ownership of the means of production, as Marx defined, as opposed to state ownership and in the case of modern China with large parts of the economy privately owned. The success for these two countries is a testament to there size, abundance of resources and people. Germany was afraid of pre-revoultionary Russia and predicted by 1917 they would be no match for its growing might. China before the Second Sino-Japanese war was a lot more industrialized than people usually give it credit for, with most of its industrial base being destroyed by the war. And too give examples of two capitalist countries that being the United States and Germany. Both of them were able to surpass the United Kingdom due there larger access to resources and people. And not to mention the increased development of technology allowing industrializeing nations to catch up faster to their established piers. What allowed these countries to industrialize in the first place is a stable government and there ability to fight off foreign threats, which was not the case for Imperial Russia, Qing China and the ROC.

The industrialization project of the Soviet Union from the 30s to the 60s, centralized planning, late stage nation building in essence, inspired many poorer countries. Does not matter if socialistic, capitalistic, left or right wing.

>>2576288
typical ultra nonsense. communism isnt

< …worker ownership of the means of production, as Marx defined, as opposed to state ownership and in the case of modern China with large parts of the economy privately owned.


communism is the class dictatorship of the proletariat, where the means of production are collectively owned, a democratically elected series of workers councils being one such method of managing the collectively owned means of production.

your counterposing 'worker owned' and 'state owned' is charitably anarchist, uncharitably libertarian ancap, brainworms. the workers own the means of production through the mechanism of a proletarian government that is democratically elected, not ad hoc or individually, and this is what was the case in the USSR and is the case in China.

>>2579016
it does matter because it would have happen regardless if Russia was "communist" run or capitalist run as long there was a stable government and the means to protect against foreign capital

>>2578315
Oh okay, I wonder why Cuba, for instance, doesn't just hit the communist button. I mean it's that simple and easy and we're 'in front of Marx's time.' They have higher tech than the time of late 19th century Britain. No, that's not how it works. It's productive forces that drives changes to relations of production out of neccessity, not mental. Western countries aren't even in the socialist stage yet. And both Marx and Engels says going from the lower phase to the higher phase will be slow and gradual. Engels suggest it would take a long epoch. The state fades slowly because it becomes irrelevent.

>>2579490
>It's productive forces that drives changes to relations of production out of neccessity

Cool what new tech do we need to bring about socialism? AI? Fusion? And explain why this is different than previous predictions that electricity, nuclear power, and computers would bring about socialism.

Notice how India's stock market has exploded in growth due to the financialization of its economy. Even India's public banks shifted to be be market driven due to IMF stipulations and they also deregulated interest rates.

Meanwhile, China's GDP rate of growth still grew in double digits at the same its stock market was stagnating. China's economy has far outpaced India's economy in size. 98% of finance is state-controlled in China. The loans and funding from China's state owned banks are coordinated through five year plans that shape industrial policy and set strategic direction, and they will also take reasonable losses to achieve social ends.

No you need advanced science and when you have advanced science you wont be cool anymore cause everyone else will be able to do it.
Magic isnt real but it should be. I fucking hate people, I want to terrorize with magic, but magic isn't real.
Maybe when science and tech are advanced enough we could all have our own pocket universe thats fully customizeable and basically be gods there. Or like a hyper realistic advanced simulation thats like almost 1-1 with real life except you are in like minecraft's creative mode with infinite mods.
