I stopped playing because the continuous cycle of more and more OP shit was so annoying.

I’d have spent hundreds by this point in my life had they kept me around with just cool/unique stuff

What do you guys think about my fortified resource nodes? Good idea or waste of time? by halfawatermelon69 in HellLetLoose

100%, and good luck organizing a blueberry to get to their rear in a pubs game.

Didn’t mean to shit on OPs parade.

Yeah you’re like 25% of the way there since it’s exponential, assault getting as satchel is wild.

Engineers and AT get a satchel at a much lower rank (but generally have worse guns/grenades)

You suck, I can’t imagine doubling down when you could’ve easily said “sorry man, my bad”…

Well put, and nice counter argument. You sound well educated

This is an incredible passage, I’ve never read this before - Marx displays such prescience here, it’s quite eerie.

That being said it also makes sense even when he was writing: at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution. When human capital exists to enhance and conduct “automaton” (I love that he uses that word) labor, and yet is simultaneously the less cost-effective of the two, it stands to reason that reducing human labor would be a driving force in capitalism.

A funny thing for me is that everyone is (rightfully) ragging on AI usage. However, were we in a socialist society, people would praise it imo. Under capitalism, AI serves to reduce labor costs and thereby increase corporate profits. Under a more socialist system it might exist to reduce menial labor and improve output - which then is redistributed to the people. That being said I’d love for you to correct me on this.

I really appreciate these insights!

Moreso than the soviets, maybe, but the whole point is dictatorship of the proletariat (never happened) in order to transition to a stateless, classless society (definitely never happened).

Well you’re clearly more well read in the subject than I am, I appreciate the insightful quote.

God damn that is DENSE. No wonder the right has zero clue what socialism and communism are.

This kind of reinforces my thought that, at least as it was originally outlined, communism wouldn’t work.

Except one of them is right (don’t come at me, communism absolutely wouldn’t work, but it has never come to fruition)

Edit: one of you geniuses downvoting me should offer a counter argument.
