All options are fine so long as there is reliable public transportation in the city, and it’s walkable. If not then I believe the village and rural options are superior on account of not having terrible traffic (in most cases). So really most American cities are pretty terrible places to live. The big American cities have firmly fallen behind contemporary places in Europe and Asia and imo it’s not even close. Hard to say the country is livable unless you’re labor aristocracy and above and that realization is really the only reason I’m coming around to going back to school.

I asked jar jar binks what he thinks and he said apple dassa lotta money yousa poopin

Possibly, but then they will seek to destroy the revolution by using infiltration and fascism. The revolution is not just the fighting and seizing of the MOP - it is the continued subordination of the local bourgeoisie to the DOTP and the defense against imperialism/the international (lead by the American) bourgeoisie.

😂 waah muh horseshoe theory 🤓 waah

Read Karl Marx read Lenin you wannabe intellectual. And if you’re too lazy then watch a vid by Hakim. It’s not our job to lecture you. You’re not special. If you don’t want to learn then you will be made fun accordingly.

I’m sorry but you’re not very smart. You just don’t know what the words you are using actually mean

😂😂

In this post: what you get when your brain attempts to synthesize the concept of socialism on top of its liberalism instead of trying to discard everything you know first (liberalism) and learning again from zero to grasp Marxism.

I’d have to go back and watch it to be sure, but I remember a lecture on Social With Chinese Characteristics that mentioned looking back on their history and drawing from from ancient/dynastic literature that wished for prosperity for common people (then the peasants) and that was the sign that the country and ruler was good.

So SWCC was synthesized with this part of Ancient China and the result today seems that part of the historical identity of modern China is about striving for prosperity for your fellow workers.

Edit: looks like Lemmy put my reply on the wrong post

Russia has very conservative attitudes but they remain without much Nazism at all, particularly because of their Soviet history.

I have no doubt Putin desires some form of increased Russian prestige and power, but from what we can see, Russia doesn’t really have the same developed capitalism where there is an impetus to expand and conquer (they have a fairly low GDP and nothing else suggesting colonialism). So we can’t apply our American/western notions of power/prestige = dominate other countries.

Nor would suggesting they are trying to expand their territory be correct in the context of the history of this war, since the line Putin drew was “do not join NATO” because that threatens Russian sovereignty. So even if Russia does gain territory and even if that is desired by Putin, then sovereignty and defense are the issues that have precedence because the reality is that the US is trying to use Ukraine as a means to affect regime change in Russia and to open Russia to exploitation by the west.

Idk comrade, we already eat those feathered dinosaurs every day

Perhaps you would prefer “America and its vassals” then?

It would probably just taste like chicken

The fight is not fought and won in debates online, as much as liberals love to think that. It is a slow process that will take decades of real changing material conditions and we are in the second century of that struggle. But history is inexorably heading in the direction of a victory for comrades and liberals will go the way of the Roman slave owners or the feudal lords. Or I guess to be more accurate, they will go the way of the bootlickers of Roman aristocracy or the bootlickers of feud lords.

But if you put them in a gulag they wouldnt be smart enough to get any good work done anyway

“they have nothing, but they’re free”

My guess is its may be just as much aging as it is having additional responsibilities and stresses. These things wear you out and require sleep to repair, even if the damage isn’t muscular (I’m guessing there may be build up of bad chemicals in the brain and maybe some neuron damage that only sleep can eliminate and repair). Then you add in the physical damage from working out and if you add all these things together, if you come up short on sleep eventually I think you just hit a wall where your body says no more.

Whats your sleep looking like? If you’re behind on (deep) sleep your body will not have enough time to recover. Cumulative sleep loss requires consistent deep sleep to fix. Right now I’m eating more, and I weighed at 79 kg (174 lbs) last week which was a two year high. But my sleep has been poor the last two weeks I skipped a workout on Saturday, and whilst I will be working out today after 8 hours sleep last night, I’m still pretty drained. What I’ve learned is that even if you think you’re getting enough sleep, your body will know how much it actually needs and will feel accordingly. If you’re lucky you might just need a mid day nap but if it’s really bad it could take a week or more, iirc.

Yeah so first off, we need to acknowledge that people are social animals. We aren’t special creatures separate from our evolution. As social animals our outlook is determined by our direct relationships with other people and our place among our community and society at large. This directly informs not only our ability to live and survive and reproduce, but our kins ability to survive and also reproduce.

Here we see the rough outline of the beginning of larger society from the base unit. It’s an incredibly more complex topic than this but we must be brief. What’s interesting here is that we also see the beginnings of class once women start being traded. Again very complex and requires books, but let’s keep general trends in mind as we are supposed to when discussing macro concepts (as a side, that’s another point liberals tend to forget - the need to focus on overall trends, which is necessary for the discussion of massive economies and history over time). So now we have class within society which also directly informs our direct relationships and relationships abroad.

And this is a self sustaining mechanism (because we are social - that is to say we care about our relationships and thus shared interests because they benefit us individually or our kin) that changes very slowly over thousands of years due to many factors (reading a book is again required). We can use the European model of history and generalize that dominant classes tend to change hands every couple of thousands or hundreds of years. Because it is self sustaining (somewhat - civilizations can fluctuate, for example the collapse of the USSR*, or the existence of the southern American slave economy within a capitalist world), a dominant class can effectively shape its own society for a long period of time. There are obviously a billion conditions that can determine what state a society is in at any given time, but again, we are concerned with the model here, or in other words the general trend.

So in this we start to see how people actually behave through the unification of biology and human history. It’s extremely rough and in the works but strong enough that we can reject any suggestions about human behavior that fall short of the standard. What this means about “bad people fucking around” is that this is a view of people in a very narrow view of history. As class changes how people act (again, generally) accordingly to their relationships, in a dictatorship of the proletariat you expect over time the likelihood of bad actors (1) appearing to decrease and (2) the likelihood of succeeding at whatever they do to decrease as well.

*For a quick look at the fall of the Soviet Union (a sample size of 1, but important nonetheless) I recommend a video by either Hakim or Paul Cockshott.
