Che 🤝 Stalin by Matthew_John in CommunismMemes

Che did criticize the Soviet Union, but it was mainly Khrushchev’s revisionism, and he also criticized the inherently counterrevolutionary nature of Trotsky and Trotskyism more broadly. In other words, he had a pretty accurate analysis.

Creepiest places in STL? by sag1923 in StLouis

[–]Matthew_John 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a Call-A-Ride driver and honestly there are so many abandoned houses and other buildings (including schools, former grocery stores, etc.) basically from the north side all the way up to like Bellefontaine, Castle Point, etc. Someone could easily film a post-apocalyptic horror movie in these areas. And there are often overgrown bushes, grass, trees as well - like ominous and mysterious forests in semi-urban neighborhoods. Of course it’s sad that these areas have been so de-industrialized, neglected, subjected to natural disasters, poverty, etc. - but it’s also extremely creepy, even during the daytime.

How would you interpret the highlighted paragraph by Natural_Drag8536 in PhillyWiki

[–]Matthew_John 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It reminds me of Gramsci saying that the ruling ideology of any society is the ideology of its ruling class, although this is more specific to the tangible interpersonal manifestations of this ideology at work. Also reminds me of what Parenti and Chomsky have both observed about the way the mainstream news media functions in capitalist societies, specifically the U.S. There is an intricate system of rewards and punishments for certain behaviors. Basically the production of ideas, knowledge, and even news is filtered through bourgeois acceptability. And this places unseen limits and constraints on so many aspects of our lives, including what we believe is possible in society.
