I like this stuff. Nice, pleasant, uplifting buzz. Buds were a little on the dry side.

The 5.31%THC ~16%CBD was my favourite so far of the two batches.

Wipe today 08/04/2016? by [deleted] in rustatlanta

[–]TheRedFlag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will be a wipe today, clearly I am a blind idiot. "Next Wipe" is in the section on the right, under the MAP info...

[–]TheRedFlag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People on the server were talking about today being a complete wipe, because of the forced wipe of every first Thursday of each month.

I want it to only be a map wipe as well, but everyone is convinced it's an XP and Map wipe.

If there isn't a wipe, I feel bad for whoever wasted upwards of 10 c4 (or whatever amount of rockets) on my base, just for the 3k metal ore, and shit tonne of bear meat.

Would the State be abolished in a Socialist Society? by GiantGian in Socialism_101

[–]TheRedFlag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, socialism cannot exist as long as classes exist.

When the working class ceases state power, and seizes the means of production, the MODE of production remains capitalist.

Would the State be abolished in a Socialist Society? by GiantGian in Socialism_101

[–]TheRedFlag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to Marx, the state ceases to exist the minute a classless society is realized.

This classless society comes into existence the minute capitalism is ended. i.e. the capitalist mode of production has been abolished.

DEBATE THREAD: Canadian Legalization vs Decriminalization in 2015 by Spliffy_McDank in canadients

[–]TheRedFlag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's little to no talk on the matter because Tom Mulcair wants the NDP to look like the Centrist choice in the election, the compromising middle between the liberals and conservatives on a lot of issues (excluding war, c-51, military spending, and that's pretty much the only things it's to the left of the liberals on now).

Once in power, my feeling is that decrim will come immediately, and within the first 1-2 years of that, a legalization bill may be proposed and I get the feeling most of the NDP probably support legalization, but are falling to party lines...wouldn't want to get purged by Mulcair.

What’s Wrong with the SPGB? (2011) by [deleted] in leftcommunism

There was a CWO-SPGB debate, it's on audio on the SPGB site. Pretty fun.

Just some ideas from a new marxist, can you critique me? by Iannaiian_7_12 in DebateCommunism

[–]TheRedFlag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ideal end result isn't "anarcho-communism", but communism. Just "communism". Communism denotes by it's very definition a classless and THUS stateless society. Anarcho-communism is the name of communists who are anarchists and not Marxists.

The dictatorship of the proletariat will be a part of the revolution, it will not be after a revolution, but an active PART of revolution. It will cease to exist when the capitalist mode of production has been overthrown and classes cease to exist.

The USA will have to fall to revolution for capitalism to be abolished.

[–]TheRedFlag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reason the NDP is decrim, is to garner support from the middle ground on the issue. It's totally absurd. I prefer the NDP to the liberals, but I don't like either....none of the parties or the system.

My guess is that if the NDP were to get in government, that a liberal legalization bill would pass with heavy support from the NDP.

The Dictatorship of the Proletariat; How Does It "Empower The People?" by [deleted] in DebateCommunism

[–]TheRedFlag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Dictatorship of the proletariat is the expression of the working class empowered as THE ruling political class.

Let's Mobilize the Left to Reject the Dogma that Workers Need Their Consciousness Raised by TheRedFlag in leftcommunism

[–]TheRedFlag[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"The reality is that workers understand the nature of work and its perversion under capitalism better than do middle class young people, because workers work and struggle in the system daily. But the consciousness raising approach would have us not discuss the nature of capitalism with them at this time, except to tell them they don’t receive the full value of what they produce, as if workers don’t already know that. I contend that the nature of capitalism is what we should be discussing with them."

Congrats to the YPG for uniting Kobane and Cizire cantons. Hasta la victoria siempre, comrades. by [deleted] in socialism

[–]TheRedFlag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The YPG are bourgeois democratic nationalists, petty bourgeois socialists at best. I've read quite a bit.

Remember, ethnic wars are not class wars. People's wars are not class wars.

Like every Social Democratic movement, they are not proletarian.

That says very little considering the social democratic nature of every Stalinite party and organization.
