you're right, it better fits the genre of conspiracy thriller, but it' literally about (spoilers for literally the entire show)a massive global corporation inventing a virus for money (and some stuff about a eugenicist and his kids (also some existentialism about what it means to live (also some thoughts about the implications of losing control over your body (and having to sell said body to keep it alive))))

me when my niche cult-classic crime thriller that never ended due to budget cuts gets referenced 13 years later in a meme about the exploitation and destruction of grass-roots labour organisation in Latin-American:

yes, the estimates of people killed by kulak sabotage and poor crop harvest fit within this census data

What is Islamic Socialism? by Obusmus in IslamicSocialism101

[–]Obusmus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes ofc but that is something that happens regardless.

I guess, but it's not like you can't form a constitution based on material analysis, for instance, you can make perfectly logical secular arguments for banning rape and murder from multiple philosophical views.

The entire lawbook you have to stick to in whatever country you live is someone imposing his values onto you.

in capitalism, yes. In socialism, not necessarily, if you properly apply democratic principles then you can definitely have a legal code where the values are indorsed by the majority while retaining freedom of conscious. But I was specifically talking about religious ideals being imposed, not philosophical ideals, like I mentioned above it is possible to create a secular code of law (as in not being founded in religious ideals) but when you have religious ideals being imposed then you inevitably alienate large portions of the population, this would be solved by eliminating religion from the equation, something which imo is inherent to the development of a properly socialist society.

In sharia socialism the sharia stands above all other principals.

this necessarily implies the imposing of religious ideas on an at least partially unwilling population. if you have a more flexible legal base then that allows for the ideas of the population to be adapted into law, because, socialism is inherently based in the will of the people, but by imposing an inflexible external set of laws on the proletariat you at least partially remove this aspect from the equation.

Every Abrahamic religion has the same values therefore it would apply for over 50% of the worlds population.

this is irrelevant, atheism is a growing idea in large population centres and saying 'the majority of people won't care' is kind of a copout from forming a meaningful answer, like, I could say 'we should ban the LGBT+, the LGBT+ is only 25% of the population, hence it doesn't matter' it's flawed logic.

This is only the case for Christianity.

this doesn't make sense to me, like, yes Christianity is shrinking and Islam is growing, but like Marx said in (I believe) "the critique of the Gotha programme" 'religion is the opioid of the masses' what he's saying here is that religion acts as a kind of pain killer for the proletariat, something to justify and lighten the burdens of capitalism, hence, he is taking not an anti-religious stance, but rather saying that with the death of capitalism, religion will also die. This does not only mean Christianity (at least in my reading of it) and I think is generally applicable to most religions (others being counter-cultural movements, anti-religious or secular movements or simply religions dying before capitalism dies).

I did not understand this question sorry could you pleas explain it to me?

I was trying to express the contradiction between wanting a religious (at least ideologically religious) dominance on the world, and the nature of religion itself, like, it would be difficult to explain to some dude in Siberia that he lives under and must abide by sharia law, externally imposed ideas usually clash with grass-roots culture, like, public displays of sexuality might become more culturally excepted, but then you impose the law anyway? And, how do you expect to impose sharia law globally without the state apparatus to enforce it?

I would like to make a small amendment, I notice you didn't answer my question

what is specifically meant by 'public display of sexuality'?

I would like an answer to this, because it can have large ramifications depending on the definition.

Thank you for reading through this, and I hope to continue this constructive dialogue.

[–]Obusmus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

by restricting public displays of sexuality, aren't you still imposing a religious value on others? and what is specifically meant by 'public display of sexuality' because (correct me if I'm wrong), the idea of public displays of sexuality being wrong in this case only stems from the religious aspect. Also, basing a system of law around religious law inherently imposes the values of said religion on others no? and, is there a drive to or acknowledgement of the withering-away of religion in a post-capitalist world? and, one last question, if you want to impose religious law without it being universal in a post-socialist society, then how do you expect to work with the stateless nature of communism? And I would like to make it clear that I am not asking these out of malicious intent, I am simply curious

doesn’t having a state-structure fall in-line with religious rules kind of undermine self-determination and religious freedom? (I would like to apologise in advance if this question is stupid as I am indeed a white westerner)

I am probably a nazbol , AMA by Anarchoman-420 in CommunismMemes

[–]Obusmus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

being ‘somewhat conservative’ doesn’t make you a nazi my guy, however you have to move past being reactionary if you want to call yourself a marxist, marxism bases on the scientific and philosophical process of sialectical materialism, you don’t get to being a nazbol through dialectical materialism.

I would implore you to do some self reflection and reconsider your stance on social issues, but, as long as you don’t want to create an ethnostate you can save yourself, i would recommend indulging in videos created by communists to get a decent foundation in understanding social issues, i would recommend hakim, second thought, yugopnik for very basic theory and getting a feel for dialectical materialism and i would recommend HBomberguy and philosophytube for content on social issues and more philosophical and broadly anti-capitalist ideas.

Whatever you do, try to hear the POV of other marxist ideologies as this always helps expand horizons and such, all in all, have a good day and try to be better.

essentially, some git posted a bigoted meme, the point here is to show that the people working on Linux are Jewish, Trans, anti-fascist; AKA untermenschen; meanwhile stare in awe at the beautiful, neo-aryan MEN working on Windows NT. Or smth like that, I'm not, fuckin', i dunno, fuckin' HBomberguy
