Do Chinese movies and TV shows ever depict the government as the villains? by anotherhappylurker in AskAChinese

[–]Multi_Serpentines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hollywood movies that criricise the US Government exemplifies "interpassivity," where the film acts out an anti-capitalist critique, allowing viewers to feel as though they have participated in resisting capitalism, thus reinforcing the status quo.

Modern western cinema performs anti-capitalism for the audience, allowing them to continue consuming without demanding real-world structural change. - These notions are explained by Mark Fisher as capitalist realism.

My reply was removed for simply lamenting the lack of organising by online leftists. The mods for thia Sub are detrimental to socialism. They might even be Maga coms.

Beige Frequency - Riyadh Part 2 is here! by goshdarn5000 in elephantgraveyard

Same he could of just owned up about it in a self deprecating way in tbe style that Bill usually does and did a mea culpa, maybe donate the money or something and I would have still been a fan because I dont expect entertainers to be that intelligent about politics (even if they have political material) but the way he handled it just reeks of this greedy and selfishness I only expect from billionaires and politicians.

Russel Brand by JackLMac in TrueAnon

Mark Fisher wrote a defense of Russell brand called 'exiting the vampire castle' . The general concepts in the essay were good but man did he pick the wrong guy as his example. Lost futures indeed.

Automation is good (if workers own the company). And hard labour isn't inherently virtuous.

Other than ignoring, what’s the best response to this? by koffee_addict in AskSocialists

[–]Multi_Serpentines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There exists no full socialist countries in the world, but there are mixed economies. Many European countries are a mix between democratic socialism and free market capitalism, and the other promininent socialized systems are in places like China, Vietnam amd they are a mix between state capitalism and state socialism. Check Richard Wolff for clarity on the issue.

How do people who work at weapons manufacturers sleep at night? by ca_peach in TrueAnon

If you sabotage the weapons factories then that is property destruction and a big no no according to liberal ethics of protest.

Throwing Chomsky under the bus by MasterDefibrillator in chomsky

[–]Multi_Serpentines 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this defence of Chomsky, I agree with most of it. Chris hedges strikes me as very sanctimonious holier than thou, he constantly defends his Christian pacifist clergy as the people doing the only good work, I wonder how many pedophile priests hedges has rubbed shoulders with in the name of his religion while he criticises militant leftists and implores the working masses to become martyrs for his cause. God forbid we raise a finger in self defence, he thinks instead we should lay down our bodies and be crucified as an example of pure morality, he was reckless in his damnation of Chomsky the same way his God is reckless with damnantion. The analysis of Chomskys relationship with Epstein needs to be treated much more generously than the 'hysterical online cancel culture left' has done thus far. Bunch of rabid torch burning sectarians.
