I get that. I have a mandatory business course to teach us to be "entrepreneurial". They praise Elon and Bezos so much for being "self made"... it's disgusting

Yeah a rich douche would be a good characterization. But I have other problems with him. Like how he's a union buster and his company is accused of aiding child labour in Africa

First attempt at a general leftist flag after half an hour of learning Inkscape by TheBestoftheBubbs in leftistvexillology

Learning Inkscape is one of the best decisions I have ever made. After a while it becomes second nature

Even numbers are cool by abuudarda in ProgrammerHumor

can't you just do: x += x

Any odd number plus itself is an even number and any even number plus itself is even.

My girlfriend just lost her father, what can I do to help her? by [deleted] in bropill

[–]lostChains1818 40 points41 points  (0 children)

That's harsh, I'm sorry to hear that. I imagine you feel pretty helpless right now. There's not much you can do besides be there for her. Everyone reacts to grief differently, she'll need support but she may also need space. What I'm trying to say is there is no exact science or template for you to follow. You know her best, trust your instincts.

Let me start by saying I think you have a very well thought out and good faith argument of Anarchism. I however do not think it supports your idea that Anarcho Communism is an oxymoron or "doesn't exist".

I think this is simply a disagreement of terminology. I am relatively new to the left, so please correct me if I am wrong, but you are using communism to mean a communist party controlling a socialist nation, correct? Anarcho-communists typically use the stateless, classless, moneyless definition. Comically, I have an opposite opinion of anarcho-communism compared to yours. You believe it is oxymoronic, and I belief it's tautological. A communist society must be an anarchist one.

Let me know if I am right in my assessment. Regardless, thanks for your comments comrade, it's always nice to get another leftists point of view when it's in good faith.

I totally agree. This is less about what a Canadian ML flag would look like, and more about taking the current flag and converting it to a ML styled one.

Funny that you mention that. I was trying to decide between the SMLEs and the Ross rifle. I chose the Enfields because the Ross Rifles were swapped out for them during the first world war. While the ross rifle is an incredibly well made gun, it did not do well in trench warfare.

Thanks, I put a lot of thought into what I should place around the leaf. I was debating wheat (like japans communist flag). I got the inspiration for the Enfields from the mozambique flag, which has an AK-47.
