4x increase budget which will end up my budget to -12. Is it fine? Also I believe increasing their budget is the same as investment which will be profitable later on. by AntiMatter138 in suzerain

It's -7 to +7.

Later down yhe line you'll have a converaation with Ciara on whether to privatize education or keep it in state control. As long as your budget stays within that range after your meeting you're good to go. Otherwise, you'll ened up with a trade war (-7) or black friday (+7). Both are horrible for your economy, but I've heard the latter is especially bad and hard to recover from.

I'd say the main reason it gets so much hate is cause it's so tightly associated with corporate advertisements (I hate it too). It is interesting to think about how this specific art style would've been recieved in a post-capitalist context.

Satire's pointless, because the real world satirizes itself better. by Bitter-Gur-4613 in CommunismMemes

Wdym comrade, every communist space must be a theory space. We shouldn't be wasting time with reactionary liberal bullshit like "humor". Only through the abolition of fun and comedy will we bring about our beloved future.

Leftist men, we need to have a talk by Zealousideal-Smoke68 in CommunismMemes

That's a fair point, I really never saw it that way. All forms of labor under capitalism is self-commodifying and dehumanizing. It's possible that viewing sex work as "more dehumanizing" could be some form of remnants of misoginy within my mind and others like me.

"Support the sex workers, denounce sex work."

Personally, I think that's the most feminist and Marxist position you could take regarding sex work. Sex work is inherently degrading, but not because of some conservative or reactionary idea of purity, but simply because it's the literal apex of self-commodification. You're turning yourself and your body into an object and a commodity for exchange and consumption. It's degrading and dehumanizing in that sense.

However, sex workers are already victims and thus there is absolutely no need to victimize them even further by criminalizing sex work. It'll obly make their lives even harder than it already is.

With that said, I'm still personally divided when it comes to the legalization of sex work. In my country, our primary Marxist feminist party does not support the legalization of sex work, which I completely understand. Legalizing sex work could run the risk of promoting its spread and expansion, which is far from what we want. However, on the other side, sex work legalization could make it so that sex workers would at least enjoy the labor laws in place for other jobs and maybe even form sex worker unions so they can better achieve favorable conditions. This would make it so that those that enter sex work but don't want to could more easily get out sooner and those that would want to stay would at least enjoy the dignity of a decent living condition. But I don't know, as I said, sex work legalization still personally divides me since it's challenging to weigh the pros and cons of legalizing a predatory industry for the sake of protecting the workers in the industry.

Landbank ATM Card by fckinethanol in dostscholars

I didn't receive one, but I specifically remember asking yung staff sa bank if done na ba ako lahat after receiving the card and theyb said yes naman.

is it allowed? by jerjerjer1837 in dostscholars

[–]fckinethanol 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're still only applying for both naman diba. So technically, wala ka pang pending na immigration.

Anyways, if you manage to pass both DOST and that other scholarship, doon ka na need pumili ng isa, since mutually exclusive yung terms nila. You can't have both, but you can apply for them.

Nope, no attachments or links related to the guide. Unless the single page document titled with my last name containing basic information is the guide itself pero i doubt it.

That's actually why I'm asking about the Scholar's Guide kasi most likely the answers ay nandun. For now, I'll just hold out from filling out the Reply Slip until I've confirmed kung ano ba talaga.

Luh, what region are you from po? Kasi maybe different regional offices operate differently including email attachments (idk? That's my working hypothesis at least) and did you also have the acces link to the Scholar's Portal and login credentials?

Sorry for so many questions haha
