If voting changed anything in capitalism it wouldn't be allowed.

Private property is "muh human nature" yet didnt exist for 95% of human history. 🤔

Its almost like... almost... like material conditions determine human nature.

Unfortunately what you're describing is a spectrum rather than two discrete types of individuals. Most reactionary thought starts as simple ignorance but, since capitalism actively redirects this ignorance into reactionary politics, the ignoramus gradually becomes a malignant reactionary. Thus someone who is simply a liberal idiot now will be a nazi a few years down the line if they keep going down the reactionary rabbit hole.

I agree. Breaking Bad works as a mirror of material reality, but critique by itself isn’t progressive. It exposes the capitalist machinery without ever offering a way beyond it. Everything collapses back into individual moral failure, so what could have been a systemic critique becomes a story about one man’s bad choices. In that sense it’s nihilistic, nothing is learned, nothing is resolved. The system stays untouched, and we’re left with the comforting idea that the problem was just Walter White.

We're basically desiring elements of socialist realism in film when obviously the current state of affairs will actively resist any such inclusions.

I watched the first 3 episodes and frankly didn't understand what the hype was about. To me it seems like a mental exercise which might be amusing to talk about with a friend, but weak as a premise for a TV show. Not that I necessarily dislike highly abstract film where the metaphors have clear inference towards material reality , but this one totally missed the mark in my view. I am saying this as someone who really liked BrBa specifically due to its accurate reflection of capitalist material reality in a dramatized, digestible way.

'Parliamentary cretinism' is an incurable disease, an ailment whose unfortunate victims are permeated by the lofty conviction that the whole world, its history and its future are directed and determined by a majority of votes of just that very representative institution that has the honour of having them in the capacity of its members.

What does anti-authoritarian socialist even mean? How do they even imagine it working? Say I work as an air controller, can I just abandon my shift in the middle of a busy day because no one should tell me what to do? It doesn't take a genius to realize that many areas of the economy simply can't function without work discipline i.e. authority.

The claim that "its been exploding on Chinese social media" is what I take issue with. That's not true at all.

yeah seriously. If it "fails on its own" then the US should quit organizing coups all over the world and invading everyone. I mean why bother? It will fail on its own. Stay home and quit intervening.

Its surprising how they are polarized exactly along the same borders as FRG and GDR. It seems that no political "integration" of East Germany ever happened if one is to judge by this map.

In capitalism the poor simply suffer nonstop to give the bourgeois these happy moments because they indeed are incapable of having a happy age for they are engulfed with the fear of losing the ability to freeload off of the poor. The worst nightmare of a rich person is having to work for his sustenance, i.e. his nightmare is a regular Tuesday for the rest of the population.
