Is anything on this chart true? Some bonehead just sent me it and I'm trying to debunk it.

My fact checking says it's mostly made up but I could use some smart people to make sure.

Some of those stuff holds, some other don't

The premise fails to take off because it fails to substantiate race as a concept. A simple look into how race was invented and why makes all this cumble from it's base.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization)

here you go anon. dont have time or desire to really get into it rn but pdf related is a great book on the topic and i highly recommend you read it. even if you dont read it, even just searching through for relevant arguments will explain plenty. the entire method of data collection & representation used by race science is fundamentally flawed and misleading. they do wildly dishonest acrobatics to get the data to a place where they can tell you that youre the one in denial because "its so obvious!!!" and since racialism is such a core part of contemporary social dogma, they get far with this kind of bullshit because of their audiences confirmation bias + laziness and illiteracy

I'm noticing patterns recently with the most authoritarian communists on this board, the internet and in real life (though rarer in real life due to most of these people being shut-in freaks)
>calls themself an authoritarian communist, even though:
>>they literally don't have a job, or they have a "job" that they only got because one of their parents got them said job
>>is not involved in any way, shape, or form in the union at their place of employment, in fact actively despises colleagues and working class people in general because they might have less than politically correct opinions on things
>>has read all the material, and autistically corrects people on getting things wrong with regards to said material…to the point that they will alienate away anyone that might've actually been interested in left wing ideas
>>has LOTS OF OPINIONS on the politics of countries they only found out about because they watched a youtube video/wikipedia'd "what parties are left wing", lives in the middle of bumfucknowhere USA
>>continuing on with the previous point, will say insane, outlandish shit like "heh….everyone in X country should've just been genocided when X communist leader was in charge" in a tongue in cheek way, which only their weird orbiter followers will realise is a 'joke' while anyone else thinks they are fucking insane
>>freakishly obsessed with nerd hobbies to the point that it's offputting to anyone normal

Am I wrong in saying I think these sorts of people should be pulled away from leftist spaces for being annoying little LARPers? They always seem to be the "frontline" for left-wing discussions online for some reason, I assume because they have more time on their hands than people actually doing things in the real world.

I mean, me, I am an old man. So I may be susceptible to the occasional crude joke.
We love our trans lads and ladies around the real communist table tho.
It's a different timeline to the point it is a disparate concept in reality tho. Saying if no one's cis "normal", there is no more trans as a concept is quite distinct from saying "trans people don't exist right now", which you know, no one with any clue or connection to reality holds this view.

Abolishing the concept of gender itself is as much an aggression as communism is "prole erasure". I think it shows people can talk about very different things while appearing to be on the same page at least to some extent.

I mean ultimately the conclusion one could draw is that antisemitism is dumb and counter-productive and has ultimately (the last paradox) served to strengthen Israel which bases its whole raison d'etre around it. Then you look at it from the Zionists' perspective, they are killers, but if everyone is going to be ruthless bourgeois nationalists then they should be too. Really the root of the matter is that the socialist revolution in Europe failed in 1919 and a massive war of ethnic cleansing ensued to create "pretty" borders and homogenous nation-states.

>Because it actively hurt them come Barbarossa
Incorrect, if the MR pact didn't happen the invasion of the USSR would happen much earlier while japanese were proding in the east, enabling the nighmare scenario for the USSR having to fight a two front war, the disastrous effects of early war comes from the fact that barbarossa is still is the greatest feat of mass mobilization in large scale in history, with the Bitzkrieg being perfect quick strike for the flat platteu between Ukraine's borders and Moscow, coupled with the massive borders of the USSR made it a mass assault easy ordeal and almost indefensable, what you ask is that germany gets even deeper on this plateu, while sensible industry on western USSR don't get relocated, while the army is disorganized and being hit by japanese agression on the east, i can see why alot of communists were purged by stalin, this short sight is dangerous
>near-pyrrhic victory

>>2389486
>if the MR pact didn't happen the invasion of the USSR would happen much earlier while japanese were proding in the east
There is no scenario in which Germany could have physically attacked the USSR prior to Japan throwing out plans for an invasion of the USSR. By the time Hokushin-ron was abandoned after Khalkin Gol Germany had not even finished conquering Poland, much less resolved the conflict in the west against France. Japan invading the USSR is a ridiculous fantasy hypothetical only peddled to justify MR.

The real subsumption of labor is an important element of class conflict to analyze. The design of the means of production is an important way in which the bourgeoisie maintain power. But I am unsure of how the working class may fight the professional strata who design the means of production.

It seems to me that the professional strata only profits from a share of temporary super-profits due to innovation. If the workers want to fuck with the scientists then they must fight the intellectual monopoly rents the techs make their money from. It seems to me that rather than smashing mills the Luddites should have leaked the mill designs and trade secrets to their employer's competitors.

sure, in the sense that this speeds up the spread of a technology and therefore speeds up historical development. It is an accelerationist approach, but…
>monopoly
is actually the endpoint of capitalist development. competition has winners. Either the govt. steps in to "trust bust" like Teddy Roosevelt, which just resets the clock on capitalist competition, or the monopoly gets nationalized, which Lenin says is the prerequisite social condition for socialist revolution in the imperial core, and he pointed to Weimar Germany as the example of that. You want the workers to smash the bourgeois state and seize the nationalized monpolies for themselves, not revert to some kind of primitive competition and decentralization that is anathema to a planned society.

>>2388926
Yes, I'm an accelerationist. I'm very inspired by the Free Software movement. I want to do stuff like piracy and free software in order to drive the small businesses out of business. It's the same reason I support labor unions which put small businesses out of business as well which can't tolerate labor strikes. Also because labor bargaining forces corporations to innovate and so drives the rate of profit down.

>>2388786
I want to accelerate the proletarianization of the professional strata by attacking the intellectual monopoly rents you fuckwit. Also, read Harry Braverman's "Labor and Monopoly Capital". I want to intensify competition within the professional strata and accelerate monopoly capital.

Last thread lasted two months, so keep in mind these events are separated by weeks.


Stalemate near Tishreen dam between the SDF and the SNA.
Insurgency developments & germination in the coast.
Israel announces it's not withdrawing from the newly-acquired Syrian territories.
Al-Julani forms a new government, formally dissolves the former SAA and declares himself president. New Ministry of Defense and army so far is barely cohesive and resembles one of those countless joint operations rooms we've seen before.
HTS attacks Lebanese areas under the justification of "combating smuggling". Withdraws quickly.
Clashes in the Druze Damascus suburb of Jaramana that were quickly defused. Suwayda (majority Druze region south of Damascus) is still de-facto autonomous and controlled by armed Druze factions.
Massive uprising by the insurgents in the coastal regions that was quelled in around 4 days. Hundreds of military casualties on both sides. Insurgents go back to guerilla mode after.
Massacres of Alawites in the coastal regions during said uprising. At least 1000 civvies dead. HTS and Julani blame undisciplined SNA units and say they're gonna punish the perpetrators.
HTS and SDF sign memorandum for integration.

Trying to deflect from Druze complicity in Israeli war crimes by pointing to the tiny number of Sunni Arabs in the IDF is pathetic. The Druze collectively serveβ€”by choice, with pride, in high numbersβ€”and have been fully integrated into the military structure that occupies, bombs, and brutalizes Palestinians. That’s not the same as a rare handful of marginalised, often economically desperate Sunni Arabs joining the army. The Druze community has made a political decision to align with the settler-colonial state, and they should be held accountable for it.

GrapheneOS cannot be fully trusted because it runs on Google's proprietary hardware stack, which remains a critical vulnerability. While GrapheneOS markets itself as a privacy-focused alternative, its security is undermined by the fact that it operates on devices like Google's Pixel smartphonesβ€”hardware designed and controlled entirely by Google. Unlike other OEMs, Google does not merely integrate off-the-shelf components; it designs its own processors (e.g., Tensor chips) and develops the closed-source firmware and software that power them. Other manufacturers receive binary blobs from chipmakers, which they cannot modify, but Google retains unilateral authority to embed hidden functionalities or surveillance mechanisms directly into the hardware-software ecosystem.

This means Google could inject malicious code into the processor’s firmwareβ€”code that operates independently of Android (and thus independently of GrapheneOS itself). Such malware would run at the hardware level, bypassing the operating system entirely and evading detection. If Google exploits this capability in its proprietary GApps, the same logic applies to the foundational software controlling its processors. Since GrapheneOS cannot audit or modify these closed-source components, users are left exposed to potential backdoors.

If you trust GrapheneOS on Pixel devices, you must also trust Google’s closed-source hardware stackβ€”the very same infrastructure that could enable pervasive surveillance. In that case, there is no meaningful distinction between GrapheneOS and stock Android; both rely on Google’s opaque technology. Conversely, if you reject GApps and Google’s data harvesting, you cannot reconcile that distrust with reliance on Google’s hardware. To truly deGoogle, you must abandon devices where the manufacturer controls the silicon itself.

So, I'm a musician, who wants to have a musical career (a lot of communist musicians had stable careers) and meanwhile stupid porkies tell me that "no, we'd prefer if you were replaced, prole, because there if no place for people like you" and I hear, not only music, but other art, computer science, programming etc. will be replaced by AI. How do we stop this, so people are still prosperous in the real socialst societies?

Why can I name many such cases? I think with Yes Man especially it is laughable, he's physically incapable of betraying the courier, even without "word of god" it's pretty obvious that wild card depends entirely on your character's actions.
Are players just incapable of believing anarchy is possible, even in a fictional setting? Is that why the NCR is the most commonly picked faction?

Alright so hi hows everyone doing today, I hope youre doing well. I came here to write a mile-long post bitching about the state of Team Fortress 2, its design, and how commentary around its design has rapidly changed over the past few months.

To introduce people who don't know a shit about TF2; it's basically the game that set in stone the genre of "hero shooter" [Class Shooter] and how it should generally work. Prequels to Team Fortress 2, such as Team Fortress Classic, or Team Fortress [Quake Mod] do exist and show more barebones gameplay, but Team Fortress 2 did the concept so well that it's been solidified as the OG of the genre. The game has been subject to 9 years of pre-release closed-house development [1998 to 2007], 9 years of post-release open-house development in the form of regular updates [2008 to 2017], and then a further 8 going on 9 years of ignorance where there was basically no development and no novel… anything… in the TF2 community [2018 to present].

The biggest implication for (You), random passerby, is that TF2 is a game witha whole bunch of concepts and jargon that are thrown around within the community of TF2 that means something far more specific than what it does outside the TF2 community. For example, when discussing the game's design, "Competitive" is used not just to describe a moment in TF2 where player-versus-player competition is generally increased; be it the Valve-designed mechanic of Dominations [getting 4 kills on a player without said player killing you back, which puts a literal target over your head plus other aesthetics to encourage that player to target you and vice-versa], or the outright existence of organized competitive leagues. In TF2, "Competitive" is used as a shorthand for the rulesets generally used by competitive TF2 leagues. "Valve Competitive" is used as a shorthand for the "competitive TF2 que" that Valve had added in its ill-fated 2016 Meet-Your-Match update. The "Competitive Community" is a semi-existing strata of players who agree that competitive TF2 is good, and its implied at least some of them want "Competitive" to be TF2's main ruleset.

I'm not going to write the whole history, so if you ever have four fucking hours to yourself, I'd recommend watching this video by a local chud of the TF2 community: https://youtu.be/JNxg5stxlhk

I'm from Poland. I noticed how much I want to make money from music and from jobs I make. But I'm also starting to notice how money breaks famillies down. I noticed how I'm becoming unhappy with being groomed to only pursue money, if no then they call me a "dirty commie".
Honestly why do I feel unhappy in the Capitalist system, but yet rivarly, money-making for the sake of making money, dog-eat-dog situation were so normalized to me. ANd I'm arguing against my mother and at times my father over the fact "I'm not able to make money".
If I'm not able to make money, I'm called "the welfare queen" and such, at least here in Poland and called someone akin to a s*bhuman.
Talk me out of it, I feel terrible, my mental health took a toll, finally.
I get bullied about this very fact.

Who even came up with the 'left wing' vs. 'right wing' communist thing? I've read LWC by Lenin, but it sounds like that's not exactly where it originated but at some point prior which precipitated his writing of that book. I ask because it seems odd to me that the distinction is framed this way; it sounds like something a leftcom would come up with to make their opposition seem like assholes. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

> it's a textbook on political economy. a textbook.
That’s exactly the problem
Instead of going directly to the source of communist theory, Marx, Engels, Lenin, even latter writers such as Perry Anderson who did an in-depth analysis of the slave and feudal modes of production, he went directly to the simplest, shallowest, economically determinist explanations of human historical development, in a text crafted, primarily, to train Soviet citizens into a peculiar form of Marxism that is not at all a ruthless criticism of all that exists and instead the ideological maintenance of the present state of things (in the USSR)
> yes i can. the first is that state capitalism (as Bukharin used it) is not applicable to the Soviet union (which you would know had you read his economics of the transitional period).
Leftcoms are not referring to state capitalism as Bukharin mentioned it, and you have still not said what is β€œbad faith” about such a criticism, only reiterated that you disagree. We know you disagree. That does not make our criticism bad faith. Left-communism isn’t an attempt to make Stalinists feel bad.
> social democracy" is an umbrella term used equal out regimes from the soviet to fucking hitler.
Not at all, the USSR is often written off as a social democracy by Leftcoms because the vast majority of the rhetoric MLs draft in its defense amount to defending its welfare system and state monopoly and calling both these things socialist, yet they were not conflated with β€œsocialism” at all until MLs needed to defend themselves against socialist critics, or perhaps more accurately they were recognized as not socialist in nature once social democratic reforms were achieved in the imperial core and threatened capital in no way, shape, or form.

The folly lies upon MLs themselves, whose defense of socialism pushes them to uphold the gains brought forth by capital’s historical advance (industrialization, β€œmodernization”, β€œnational sovereignty”, modern science, mass state funded welfare) with socialism, whose only actual nature (socialism’s) is the abolition of capital’s mediations on the basis and utilization of its historical progress. The problem is that MLs perfectly mirror liberal critics when they argue that capitalism is socialiPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

but he has done that many times over, and if he says he'll be reading a soviet political ecnomy textbook, you can't be surprised when he reads a soviet political economy textbook.

>>2386138
>Leftcoms are not referring to state capitalism as Bukharin mentioned
then they are not referring to anything. there is one meaning to this word, and it's very clear what it is - the trustification of state power, subordinated to the interest of the bourgeoisie. did this happen in the ussr? no.

>welfare system and state monopoly = social democracy

>not socialist in nature once social democratic reforms were achieved in the imperial core
>Labor power is sold as a commodity so long as its renumeration is in the form of the money wage, which obviously existed in the Soviet Union
the most basic distinguishing feature of different modes of social organisation is the manner in which they ensure the β€˜extraction of a surplus product’ from the direct producers. surplus product, on the other hand, is that portion of social output used to maintain the non-producing members of society. soviet socialism, particularly following the introduction of the first five-year plan under Stalin in the late 1920s, introduced a new and non-capitalist mode of extraction of a surplus. even though money and wages remained the social content of these β€˜monetary forms’ changed drastically. this switch to a planned system, where the the division of necessary and surplus product is the result of deliberate social decision, is entirely in line with what Marx had hoped for (but maybe not as participatory as he had hoped)

i'll be short because i don't think we are in disagreement about many things as you said but i want to comment on the three issues you pointed out
>- bureaucratic overload of the vanguard party and extinction of the revolutionary wave of mass movements in favour of 'stability'
this is the only one i find the weakest critique of the ussr. the question of the day reduced to SOIC or permanent revolution (as trotsky understood it). it was either to sacrifice the ussr for the possibility of european revolution or to not put too much hopes in europe at the time. considering that the german revolution failed (and this is, in my opinion, because the germans really didn't know how to do 'soviet' revolutions; their 1905 was in 1918 and their 1917 never came around) going full on SOIC is the reasonable choice at the time. did it swampify the movement? quite possibly so. but hindsight is always better looking back.
>- petty nationalism in poland taking priority over the class struggle
trve
>- lack of mass democracy in the party hindering the political maturation of the proletariat
idk about this one, there were waves both in the USSR and PRC with massive in party mobilizations and cultural revolutions. wouldn't really call it lack of mass democracy.

theres only one communism, the left-right bullshit is a literally bourgeois distinction that originates from the french revolution and has no relevance to the proletarian struggle and abolition of class society

Whilst I'm convinced that capitalism is inherently cyclical, imperialist, destructive, and have been for many years, I still have one pretty important hangup: Where is the definitive proof that capitalism must end? It doesn't seem to be found in the labour theory of value, or the law of accumulation– these only prove the ongoing antagonism between the classes, and not that such an antagonism must eventually end. It doesn't seem to be found in the critique of imperialism either, this only shows how the bourgeoisie induct new countries into the capitalist process, and how they offset and attempt to distract from the detrimental effects of accumulation.

But I can imagine a state of history in which the tension between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat keeps going on, with the bourgeoisie constantly artificing new pointless commodities, and humanity, stuck in its fetishism, continues to consume them, and workers simply show up every few decades to win some reformist concessions.

I don't know everything and it's entirely possible I'm missing critical So I want to ask you good people if you've ever been convinced of such a thing, that the eventual development of capitalism will likely culminate in something new. Because it feels to me that maybe the class war is eternal.

The rate of profit has a tendency to fall; it doesn't mean it can't go up, or that socialism can't be transitory, right?

>right which wouldn't be capitalism so capitalism would have ended

Capitalism ends all the time by this logic- breakdown theory usually refers to an absolute crisis from which it cannot recover.

We don't compare China with Korea, Taiwan, or even Japan because it would be like comparing a fish tank with an ocean, by absolute numbers China under Mao saved hundreds of Koreas and dozens of Japans worth of human lifespans.

Think about the scale problem. Taiwan, South Korea, they got to whatever they are relative to US per capita GDP (60-70%) within a few generations. Taiwan had 20 million people. South Korea had 40-45 million people. To move that number of people and get them all working in high wage industrial or service jobs in urban areas is possible within a few generations. It's just physically impossible to achieve that on the scale that China's been operating on with 1.4 billion people. But if you look at the urban migration that they've done, it is completely unprecedented in the history of humanity. For many years they were urbanizing at the rate of 20 million people a year added to the urban population. I forget the precise calculation, but in terms of housing and urban infrastructure, they were building the equivalent of New York plus Philadelphia plus San Francisco every single year for 20 years. No one has ever done anything like this before. The lesson of this is that there's an arithmetic problem there. Even if you do this on this unprecedented scale, and do it faster and bigger than anyone has done it before, if you're trying to move 1.4 billion people into an income of United States-level, it just takes a really, really long time. Taiwans entire population is equivalent to Shanghai more or less. If you take Shanghai it’s gdp per capita, it is close to Taiwan. Heck cities like Shenzhen and Shanghai IN China are equivalent in most metrics.

So we compare China with post-colonial India because they both were abundant in people and land, and both started utterly destitute at a similar time, as they had the same scale problem. However, China actually was in a worse position than India, as in the late 1940s, India possessed a more extensive railway and road infrastructure largely due to the colonial legacy left by the British. On the other hand, China's infrastracture was devastated by decades of Chinese Civil War as well as the Japanese invasion. Chongqing withstood more bombs than all of India saw bullets. The PRC was also sanctioned by two super powers (USA and USSR) for two decades and still came out of it wPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

According to Richard Kosolapov, former member of the central committee. The USSR was merely in the "transitional period from capitalism to socialism."

>To decipher this self-assessment of the meaning of the necessary transformations, I will have to recall one of the many discussions of 1989 at the Moscow Higher Party School. Its highlight was that Richard Ivanovich Kosolapov took part in it. At that time, I was even boyishly proud that the recent editor-in-chief of Kommunist, unexpectedly removed from this serious post by the new General Secretary, accepted the invitation of our department. In his rather lengthy speech, he touched on many aspects that were actively discussed at the time. I will recall here only one of them:


>"It's time for us to stop floating in some kind of illusory world. We say that we live under socialism, but in reality we live in a transitional period from capitalism to socialism…" And then followed a completely unexpected thesis: "…with the periodic return of certain old and contradictory socio-economic forms."


>The speaker then went on to explain: β€œDue to the fact that our country had existed for a long time under conditions of formal socialization with the powerful influence of purely administrative methods of managing the economy, it turned out that the bureaucracy imagined itself to be all-powerful. The enormous concentration of surplus product, which was needed to solve major national economic problems, began to be used in part for the needs of the bureaucracy, which signifies a state-capitalist tendency in our development. This negative tendency was superimposed on another in the 1960s and 1970s. The sovburs, who had just accumulated capital at that time, began to yearn for money, since they began to lack power in some way. At the same time, the stagnant bureaucracy, prone to corruption, became bored at the levers of power, since it wanted more comfort. Due to this, in my opinion, a bloc of one layer and another was formed. At the same time, I do not want to cast a shadow on all the managers and, naturally, the workers of the party apparatus, but some of them, undoubtedly, found themselves in the position of people who went against the people and were subjected to

why does it seem that whenever marxists post relevant studies, articles, books it's always very precise, to the point, relevant to the topic at hand; while when leftcoms post books here, they are usually not relevant, or a debate from 50 years ago in one sect, pseudointellectual nonsense? has anyone else noticed this? it seems like they haven't read the books they spam and are very ecclectic in their takes (i've seen them post anarchist alongside left-communist literature, indicating their ideological confusion).

i've also noticed that the leftcom spazs around here just scream at clouds at this point because almost everytime their replies reduce down to accusations of taking perverse pleasure in the genocide of proletarians, which is completely ridiculous. and i've noticed leftcoms never have anything relevant about organization to say. i also do not know any leftcom that is organized or isn't a complete social outcast.

why does this happen?

>If communism can't exist in reality, which it evidently can't

I mean, this was proved wrong countless times when revolutionary actually tried to destroy the current system. True: a lot of revolutions basically failed but why does that mean that communism can't exist? it's like claiming capitalism can't exist because Cromwell lost

>how is the admission that such-and-such is not "real communism" even a meaningful statement? I never got any answer to that


because people love the USSR, DPRK, Cuba, etc. all because they claim to be socialist. They claim to be the realisation of what Marx thought was the abolition of the misery and yet they're not.
Therefore the point in proving that they're not socialist is to get some ideology and blind partisanship out of some useful idiots' heads

Now, you can go ahead and claim you don't care but this really just means that you're, sincerely, just one of the thousands of ideologues who cope with having to live under a system which uses them daily. You swear allegiance to something you know is not what you would like it to be; you're Capital's strongest soldier.

Then again, just because you critique something without offering an alternative does not at all mean that your critique is wrong. But you yourself imply that an alternative is needed since your whole argument is essentially based on the axiom that claims that communism can't exist.

If you "do politics" (or want to be political or a revolutionary) then yes something is needed. If you engage in critique or try to "elevate the discourse" or whatever that is not that. Politics is in a basic sense "who gets what, when and how" (economics much the same, etc.).
Something is not nothing. And that's the general slant of my argument. And if we part ways (and honestly, preferably never interact again) saying we are just speaking of wildly different things that is fine by me.
And nothing in the world is exactly as I'd like it to be. We still have to inhabit this reality, do we not? Other people have different ideas, different needs, lives.
But that is the whole problem here. The question is what to do about it. It is simply not enough to be in the "right in theory" it is not even a little impressive or special or challenging. Hence "talk loud, say nothing" remains my verdict on it.

>>2388961
alright so nothing you just said actually responded to what I claimed but I think we both know we both don't care about that

as always, the arguments put forward by the critique remain untouched, and to debunk them you actually have to understand them first

Yeah you are "untouched" alright

And of course the answer remains the same always. I would never expect anything else.
Let us turn to my favorite thinker, myself

>It's a Sisyphean exercise to try to make anti-politics thinkers into something else by persuading them of the argument and the "salience of reality". For "real change" you gotta wait for reality to bite them in the ass. It's like talking to the common liberal. It'll be something like, they heard about authoritarianism, undemocratic behavior, oppression and what have you. Then you may try to tell them how we have much the same in our own country and it isn't that simple and what have you. They will agree with you, nod their head but never really get it. The urge to put things into the authoritarian / democratic boxes is too strong with them. And their own country can do no wrong, oh sure it does wrong (here and there, but you know, they are real people with hopes and dreams, not like those impure darkies) but their evil is never of the same quality as the others. It is not "real evil". It is just different, they know. Why? How? Who knows.

Is Balloons Tower Defense the ultimate leftist game?:

>play as a group of monkeys (minorities) who use guerilla tactics (throwing darts from the sides of the pathways) to stop invading balloons (imperialists)


>purchase a wide variety of units such as ninjas, wizards and super monkeys (multiculturalism)


>no matter how many balloons you pop, there will always be more that come (the game is a neo-liberal forever war)


>You can also use cheat codes to unlock infinite money (achieving real communism)


What do you guys think? Is Ninja kiwi keyed?

So how, exactly, would production of advanced goods like aircraft carriers happen in an Anarchist world? Surely producing them would be so difficult you would need some form of top-down planning to create such things, no?

Quite possible, libertarians took a hit during Covid too.
>bbbut, without gaberment, who will force people to take the jab???
Forget that if the jab actually worked then vaccinated people would not give a fuck if others vaccinate themselves or not.

lol I didn't mean that Covid literally took them; they've converted under 24/7 propaganda.

There will always be large projects requiring people to organize over long periods of time, especially urban infrastructure and such. I think the OP example doesn't really hit the mark though.

First, people tend to greatly underestimate the impact of planned obsolescence. I regularly use a coffee grinder that was produced in the 60s and it is still incredibly sturdy. Educate enough people in simple maintenance and repair procedures and i imagine the durability of common household appliances will be measured in decades.

Second, supply chains can usually be cut down by several magnitudes in the absence of the profit motive and consumer microprocessors is a field particularly plagued by fragmentation. The obvious solution to depending on special-purpose, currently proprietary components would be using FPGAs for all general-purpose computing.

An anarchist worth arguing with is about as likely as a flying pig. Engels mogged anarchotards 150 years ago and they’re still seething over it

>>2388606
So a state. You’ve made a state. And who runs this β€œfederation”? An anarcho-president?
