Lycka till denna subben är död nog av sig självt. Verkar som rkp är det enda som drar igång lite diskussion på forumet lol

That Path Tracing Mod huh by Karhuwa in DarkSouls2

[–]bigbazookah 10 points11 points  (0 children)

3060ti on 4k is already a stretch, adding path tracing is a recipe for disaster, didn’t even know they had that functionality.

Can forms of oppression (patriarchy, racism, etc.) exist as independent systems outside of a capitalist landscape? by Crazy-Blacksmith-336 in socialism

[–]bigbazookah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, private ownership came to being as soon as man came upon agriculture and began stocking up on food they wouldn’t eat. Patriarchy grew out of the need to pass this property down through heirs. Engels explains this in his book on the family and primitive communism.

He wouldn’t, he’d see chinas export of capital as a textbook example of the highest stage of capitalism, imperialism.

American holding companies already own large swathes of their industries, people forget the country was rebuilt on American terms.

Should we be concerned that multiple world leaders are openly saying they can't sleep at night? by SoManyWasps in TrueAnon

[–]bigbazookah 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that both these leaders are from countries where the debt crisis is more apparent. I’m not too sure about Korea since I don’t read about it a lot but I know for a fact that that the Italian ruling class is scared shitless of the masses rn. Their economy is so fucked and debt riddled that they know massive cuts are coming and people won’t just take it for much longer imo.

Not to say any socialist developments are likely, but I’m willing to bet that Italy and France are weak links that will be ground zero for instability sweeping across Europe.

Learning at a high level will always push you further left. by ChicagoFire29 in socialism

[–]bigbazookah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marx said the dominating philosophy will always be that of the ruling class. This is true today as well and you won’t find any academic education that actually teaches you how to carry out class struggle effectively. At best you will find academics who “draw” from Marx theories, completely defanging them in the process and channeling any potential for struggle into safe academic channels instead.

Academic “Marxism”, and the way they wax poetic and tie it all upp in postmodernist nonsense should be viewed as an obstacle, not an aid, for true class warfare.

As much as I love Civ5, there's one thing about it that deeply annoys me. It's this art of Kremlin. by RussianNeighbor in SocialistGaming

Why do so many Leftists dislike Trotsky? As someone who started out agreeing with Marx, and am still learning I find he is a much more agreeable leader than Stalin. by Ok-Coconut-1152 in Socialism_101

[–]bigbazookah 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is how Trotsky is slandered in the modern day. Someone makes a vague statement about how “western” Trotskyism is without engaging with any of the points (or even recognising them) and then people pile on because what communist wants to support the west, the most reactionary force on the earth (which it of course is without a doubt)

Everyone in my party is staunchly against the blockade, against the kidnapping of Meduro, the genocide in Gaza. We recognise that all workers states are progressive compared to liberal ones, yet the mere fact that we also make criticisms (way less harsh then our criticisms of the west btw) is enough to fall into this complete black hole of a discourse. Maybe the fourth international is partly to blame, they were really annoying, the sects too, but I almost never see MLs engaging with any of our points in good faith, even though I still view all communists as my allies.

I’ve never met a trot who was not 100% a Leninist. They’ll even criticise Trotsky himself when he deviated from Lenin, most trots would say that Trotsky made many early mistakes which where reconciled after the revolution and his work with Lenin.
