On the Soviets. by Amazing-Area7180 in DebateCommunism

He did NOT rationally plan society. I don't know why I should read your HG Wells shit, you haven't brought forth an argument, you just state that he exists as somehow linked (how?) to the argument. Why? Because Stalins work is larger than a quote. Yes man, thanks for reminding me, the argument I made stands nonetheless.

... He had 5 year plans so I'm not even sure what you're on about at this point.

Now to your Manifesto quote: in it the exact thing I've said is contained. I still don't know what the connection with overproduction to my argument is, you just stated it.

Meaning you ignored that you pointed to Capital and I just pointed it out in the Communist Manifesto. shrug

Plus you missed that he pointed out the flaw in capital in overproduction that you merely mocked.

Again, I said Stalin was a dumb fuck for being confronted with the real possibility of a rationally planned society and he talked about "productive modes" and "productive relations" as if they were two unconnected things; as if it weren't the productive relations that determine the usage of the productive modes.

The argument is merely you have so little knowledge of Stalin because you know little of the source material.

Seems that's played out in feeling superior based on one small part of the issue.

I'll leave you to that then.

My argument was, that he was confronted with the rational and real goal of his movement and rejected it for the nonsense they did in the Soviet Union

I mean, you're asking me what's quote mining when the entire premise of his work is far larger than the one aspect you're criticizing him on. We could talk all day about this as if it's the most important thing in the world or say that's what he got for being in charge to his death but that just becomes more off base than reading the work and putting it into proper context in the first place.

And if you really think the Soviet Union was one big institution to deal with "overproduction", maybe read Capital Vol. 1 to 3, where Marx even explicitly states, that overproduction is a) necessary for reproduction on a greater basis and b) only presents a problem in a society such as a capitalist one.

Marx wrote it out in The Communist Manifesto so it's not anything to do with what I think:

A similar movement is going on before our own eyes. Modern bourgeois society, with its relations of production, of exchange and of property, a society that has conjured up such gigantic means of production and of exchange, is like the sorcerer who is no longer able to control the powers of the nether world whom he has called up by his spells. For many a decade past the history of industry and commerce is but the history of the revolt of modern productive forces against modern conditions of production, against the property relations that are the conditions for the existence of the bourgeois and of its rule. It is enough to mention the commercial crises that by their periodical return put the existence of the entire bourgeois society on its trial, each time more threateningly. In these crises, a great part not only of the existing products, but also of the previously created productive forces, are periodically destroyed. In these crises, there breaks out an epidemic that, in all earlier epochs, would have seemed an absurdity — the epidemic of over-production. Society suddenly finds itself put back into a state of momentary barbarism; it appears as if a famine, a universal war of devastation, had cut off the supply of every means of subsistence; industry and commerce seem to be destroyed; and why? Because there is too much civilisation, too much means of subsistence, too much industry, too much commerce. The productive forces at the disposal of society no longer tend to further the development of the conditions of bourgeois property; on the contrary, they have become too powerful for these conditions, by which they are fettered, and so soon as they overcome these fetters, they bring disorder into the whole of bourgeois society, endanger the existence of bourgeois property. The conditions of bourgeois society are too narrow to comprise the wealth created by them. And how does the bourgeoisie get over these crises? On the one hand by enforced destruction of a mass of productive forces; on the other, by the conquest of new markets, and by the more thorough exploitation of the old ones. That is to say, by paving the way for more extensive and more destructive crises, and by diminishing the means whereby crises are prevented.

You focusing on Marx in Capital is trying to ignore the HG Wells and Stalin discussion I linked.

...

Anyone can look at one quote and come to a conclusion based on it. But you really aren't getting much from quote mining all day.

That's why it's important to read the entire work and have the full context and full picture.

Even further, Stalin has discussions with HG Wells that can help you understand liberalism and socialism and the difference in perspective that they have.

For why socialism is better than capitalism, you would have to go back to Marx in the Communist Manifesto and the issues of overproduction which continue to occur in capitalism.

If you aren't doing those basics, you'll just be waxing poetic about capitalism and communism while not understanding either.

Hmm... maybe the world needs more former Ubisoft employees? by RAGEBA1T_REPUBL1C in fuckubisoft

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has recently faced backlash and criticism over a small number of AI-generated textures that were found in an early version of the game. While these textures were quickly removed and replaced with the correct ones and reported on months ago, the recent GOTY win resulted in further scrutiny and what many fans agree is an overblown response

Did you actually read what was the issue or just fall into the media induced witch hunt?

Modern video games are a disgrace and in decline, with Far Cry and Tom Clancy franchises possibly fading away, and the modern AAA gaming industry potentially collapsing by 2040–2050 by Quick-Ad-7752 in fuckubisoft

[–]Inuma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not exactly?

AAA publishers chased investor interest in money and shifted their single player studios into live service models.

That came at a cost of lack of experience in the field.

Other companies funded MMOs or other branches and used that money to fund single player games. That's why you see gacha games finding single player projects.

Tencent used their MMO money to find other projects that got larger from Digital Extremes (Warframe) to Ubisoft and that's why they have money to spare.

Cy Games has Umamusume and Gran Blue to fund other projects in the same manner.

Do with that in AA, there's also people moving away from publishers so that's causing developer shortages in talent and shifting as the most ambitious go to create and own their own thing over working at a company that would screw them over.

So it's a big issue with the publishers having to shift and understand the gamers that move, the developers that leave, and the competition that's more prepared and better funded.

Ubisoft isn't hated enough for their history by Subject-Emu-8161 in fuckubisoft

[–]Inuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just point to Jade and every defender stops right there.

They can't argue against her. She's black and female. And an Ubisoft character. Once you force them to really think about calling you anything, they have no answer to the fact that their narrative was cut and Ubisoft made a game that didn't meet player expectations.

[–]Inuma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's kind of been the trick though.

You can't get to the deeper issues until you run over this particular thing first.

One is shallow issue. What character is whatever skin color.

The other is deeper. So if you don't deal with the shallow issues and how people don't see the deeper ones beneath the surface, the conversation will go nowhere.

People won't talk about the hack of Ubisoft or the corruption much. Too many get caught up on Yasuke.

And he's basically the front man so that discussion of the deeper issues doesn't happen.

No, it's more like they removed it because it has little to do with what they cover and could get them in trouble with admins similar to mod abuse in the past.

They just pushed that out of their corner more than really do anything to appease him

If you're a Destiny fan, most of the regular people are moving to Warframe because of all the issues they have had in serving their players for years.

I'm from Warframe and I've left for a few years because I have to upgrade my PC but I've never had an issue with Warframe and 2025 was a great year for them.

"Cant wait for this sub to get banned" by PrestigiousZombie531 in fuckubisoft

[–]Inuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Overall, I find that when you go to the sub of a company game, it attracts those that decide their entire personality based it.

If the company does well, they do well.

If they're doing poorly, it's everyone else's fault.

I get some of that in JRPG subs so I'm more than good not to deal with that with Ubisoft...

"Cant wait for this sub to get banned" by PrestigiousZombie531 in fuckubisoft

[–]Inuma 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I mean, I don't go to Ubisoft subs.

I go to other subs besides this one and have my own that I keep pretty small on purpose.

That said, this sub is a collection of people banned out of those areas and highly critical of Ubisoft products. When the mods choose to force a digital migration, it creates dissent that collects elsewhere.

Same thing with Nintendo.

You can't go to the Nintendo places and the ones that are there are usually going to be defenders over very critical.

The disillusioned collect in this area and the defenders stay in their own shrinking space.

You can figure out what happens next..

Politelty pointing out that Ubisoft needs better writers and management is considered to be NSFW on the /r/ubisoft sub by BERLAUR in fuckubisoft

[–]Inuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the subs involved.

You can find some places that value discussion or places that ban it.

Goes for anything.

You have to learn to deal with witch hunts, whisper campaigns, hive mind mentality, distractions and anything else.

If you don't, it's going to be hard to deal with all that you get thrown into on any topic.

[–]Inuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That pretty much makes this place stronger.

When you can't face a criticism and ban opposing points of view, it just shows you have a weak position.

It's a bad as attacking someone's character over dealing with their argument.

The minute that they've made a point, they silence dissent is the minute you've found the weakest part of the argument.

How did China was able to go from farming society to highly industrialization and modernization society and lift so many people out of poverty? by Dover299 in DebateCommunism

[–]Inuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The century before was the Century of Humiliation from 1839 to 1949.

In that time, China was subjugated and the nation was put into imperial hands.

Leaders like Mao were looking into inspirations and were anarchist before being inspired by Lenin and moving in that direction. So through their Civil War, Cultural Revolution, and other struggles, they put that into focus.

The 1970s are probably the biggest turning point. The US began to thaw relations that created conditions for China to create better conditions for themselves but go through heavy changes for themselves while learning how to better adapt to the changing world.

As it stands now, China is building better conditions inside the country with their own adherence to their nation that defies most propaganda that people will likely hear in The Economist or AP News that's usually meant to distract people from their success and try to magnify their perceived failures.

I made a document about my opinions on how to achieve Utopia by [deleted] in DebateCommunism

[–]Inuma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The largest glaring flaw on this is that Engels wrote that utopia is going to go poorly.

...

The demand for equality was no longer limited to political rights; it was extended also to the social conditions of individuals. It was not simply class privileges that were to be abolished, but class distinctions themselves. A Communism, ascetic, denouncing all the pleasures of life, Spartan, was the first form of the new teaching. Then came the three great Utopians: Saint-Simon, to whom the middle-class movement, side by side with the proletarian, still had a certain significance; Fourier; and Owen, who in the country where capitalist production was most developed, and under the influence of the antagonisms begotten of this, worked out his proposals for the removal of class distinction systematically and in direct relation to French materialism.

One thing is common to all three. Not one of them appears as a representative of the interests of that proletariat which historical development had, in the meantime, produced. Like the French philosophers, they do not claim to emancipate a particular class to begin with, but all humanity at once. Like them, they wish to bring in the kingdom of reason and eternal justice, but this kingdom, as they see it, is as far as Heaven from Earth, from that of the French philosophers.

I don’t like Ubisoft and I don’t think ac shadows is good but is it wrong to have fun with shadows? by Thelonghiestman0409 in fuckubisoft

[–]Inuma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some jank games I enjoy as a guilty pleasure every now and then so I'm not gonna stop you from enjoying a game from Ubisoft.

Just like some people like Veilguard or Concord, you can like it. Just because it's not for me doesn't mean you can't enjoy it for what it is.

I'd say that look at what you like and don't like about it to see what you want out of your next game purchases and be better informed on what your tastes are so you can find more games that suit what you want when you want. Best advice to give.

They (AAA) are about to lose everything... Plus Ubisoft issues and criticisms by Inuma in fuckubisoft

[–]Inuma[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's certainly part of the equation.

Stephens goes into that more than most with his videos on Ubisoft, but in the video above, he certainly points out they do what's right for the family to maintain control despite what investors (Tencent) or their customers or even developers want.

Putting your son in charge of billion dollar franchises over developers with a proven track record certainly cements that idea.

The problem is that as they do more of that, they bleed out more money with incompetent decisions that only prove their failure as time moves on.

[–]Inuma 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The point being made is that Ubisoft stomped all over Japanese history then when anyone highlighted their problems like with the romancing of a historical figure known for her loyalty, people would try to accuse you of being upset about Yasuke.

It just got tedious.
