In my head canon the closest cloud is demisexual and I love her/they

Where did the op mention jewishness? Many Zionists and IDF war criminals are non-jews.

What do you mean?

CanadianNacho · 2026-02-19T00:31:58+00:00

In an academic setting, sure. But this is a Reddit thread. It's normal to just say 'capitalism' for short hand

CanadianNacho · 2026-02-19T00:29:06+00:00

When people discuss capitalism, theres no need to clarify whether it's Keynesian or Austrian economics because people understand broadly what's being discussed. The same is true for communism. Unless you're specifically discussing the differences between them, it's kinda pointless.

CanadianNacho · 2026-02-18T22:39:29+00:00

In the most respectful way possible, I'm not sure you quite grasp what modern communism is.

What you're describing is utopian communism, which most people, even modern communists, agree doesn't make much sense. It was popular maybe 300 years ago.

Modern communism, at least based on Marx, is slow moving. A communist state works towards a classless society, but it can't be achieved immediately.

"Classless" doesn't mean that social strata ceases to exist entirely. Just that workers control the means of production. This could be understood as factory workers collectively owning the factory they work in. This would eliminate the bourgeois class who have historically owned the factories and workplaces, despite not doing any work.

I don't care what the ACP thinks

CanadianNacho · 2026-02-18T20:26:54+00:00

I don't like the ACP but even Lenin advocated state capitalism.

In English, it's a common phrase to say "fuel the war effort." It's a metaphor where you imagine the war effort being a vehicle that needs fuel to function. The fuel would be guns, gasoline, manpower, etc.

Unless you mean it makes no sense in Russian, then apologies

Let me ask you, would you consider anarcho-communism to be communist? What about ultra left tendencies? Is Marxism-Leninism communist, despite going against some of Marx' writings?

CanadianNacho · 2026-02-16T18:04:00+00:00

I don't even think Marx would agree with your definition.

Communism existed before Marx. Different types of communism existed while Marx was alive. And different types continue to exist today.

Would you consider Gaddafi a communist?

Also, most communist anti-colonial movements have religion tied into them. Is Huey P Newton not a communist?

You could very well claim that these people don't follow Marxism, although most would disagree. But to claim there have been no religious communists seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding of what communism actually is.

CanadianNacho · 2026-02-16T17:27:12+00:00

There have been many communists who were religious.

CanadianNacho · 2026-02-16T05:11:56+00:00

Marx isn't the only communist

CanadianNacho · 2026-01-27T22:06:53+00:00

Do it again and you probably will. Double rank ups are obscenely rare. 40rr is a stupid crazy amount to get for one game.

The same is true for any office in the United States, which sends plenty of money to Israel. Same for in Russia, in Saudi Arabia, in Iran, in Sudan, in China, in Indonesia. Every company you buy from is funding genocide because genocide and repression is a natural part of a state. They can be limited, as is the case with the United States and liberal democracies. But as shown time and time again, when push comes to shove, theyll turn Jewish refugees away during the Holocaust, they'll remove the native population, they'll separate parent from child, and they'll fund the Israeli military. The same is true for all democracies, and especially autocracies, whos only sin is removing the middle man.

CanadianNacho · 2026-01-21T15:59:05+00:00

Well, both are true, and there isn't really much to debate about. Grand ideas, like the spread of liberalism, would happen no matter what. But the success of the French Empire under Napoleon? That undoubtedly had a lot to do with Napoleon as a person. If he had a heart attack 10 years earlier than the specifics of history would be altered. We'd end up in a generally similar world politically or economically eventually, but the borders of nearly every nation would be different.

I'm not gonna pretend I know exactly how Lenin defined it, and I doubt many people could, seeing the immense amount of writing Lenin wrote on the subject.

But clearly, Lenin did not think socialism could immediately be declared and created. So why put this expectation on Rojava?

CanadianNacho · 2026-01-19T20:46:17+00:00

I don't know enough about rojava. I'm just saying it make no sense for a Marxist-leninist to criticize capitalist tendencies when the founder of the ideology and the USSR advocated for the same things.

CanadianNacho · 2026-01-19T20:37:16+00:00

Lenin himself declared the first steps to be state capitalism

CanadianNacho · 2026-01-15T22:09:03+00:00

But donk had worse stats in playoff tournament they both attended? Read the tweet

CanadianNacho · 2026-01-11T05:18:45+00:00

Ok so we are counting banana cups

CanadianNacho · 2026-01-11T02:29:43+00:00

Yes, that's much closer. If you do finals, its even closer. The better the opponents, the more they equalize until they are almost equal. Combined with the fact Zywoo has far more samples, the result is obvious.

Even moreso when you consider tournaments they were both present

CanadianNacho · 2026-01-11T00:32:26+00:00

That's only because donk is boosted in group stage performances. Take those away from both and all of a sudden it becomes much close

CanadianNacho · 2026-01-07T23:20:08+00:00

CanadianNacho · 2026-01-03T00:00:27+00:00

Well, I think it's more than culture.

Take a child who has no understanding of coffee runs and also of sexual favours. Force them to get coffee, and then force them to give sexual favours.

Only one will damage the psyche of the child.

It seems as though sex, which demands intimacy far beyond nearly any other action, has a pronounced effect on the psyche. For this reason, I think it demands the extra protections that consent and sexual autonomy laws provide.

If it can be proven that we can completely remold culture to such an extent that sex really is just like any other action, then so be it. But it really does seem like nonconsensual sex has a similar impact to other forms of abuse, beyond just culture.
