I fucking hate Europe. I just had a great job interview which I nailed for an electronics-related company, but of fucking course there are military projects. The conditions are good, but I don't think I can accept a job related to the military field seeing what Europe has been doing in Palestine
How is China exactly threatening Europe? By offering affordable electric cars and cheap solar panels and batteries that EU doesn't manufacture anyway?
Kamala Harris... in Minecraft or something
Yeah, I think we agree. Saying that "the US will just outspend you" isn't completely correct, that's why I pointed to other successful revolutions such as Korea, Vietnam or Cuba, because the USSR didn't allow the US to do this.
they will always outspend & outflank you
Tell that to the DPRK, to Cuba or to Vietnam. Or to the fucking Nazis!
Well, yes, the question is also about what's possible with the systems in place. When examining the housing and rent market all over the western capitalist world, a plurality of political ideologices, parties and ethnicities has led to essentially the same problems taking place everywhere. If all politicians of all signs can't formulate meaningful response, and no liberal democracy can solve the issue of housing, maybe the problem is more systemic than it is about policy.
In contrast, China has 95+% of home ownership rate, Cuban university students get free housing, and the Soviet Union had universal housing at an average rent of 3% of the monthly income.
My point is that it's not that we need to innovate in policy and formulate new ideas, what we need is systemic change and immense pressure on the owning class, both of which can only be achieved through worker organizing in unions and in socialist/communist parties.
I'll be polite because I know most hexbears here won't be (please comrades don't dunk much on this person, I mean it).
As fair deal as possible would be rent at production + maintenance costs, anything above this goes in the form of assets to the homeowner, which implies a wealth extraction from literal war refugees to a local with a house. There are no risks of depreciation in social housing for example because there's no "market value", only production + maintenance, which are fairly constant, and default + damage should be socialized costs as much as falling to the ground and breaking your arm on the street, even if you're drunk, should be paid for by society.
Yeah, столовая is a similar thing in the USSR, I absolutely love those
After the revolution there will also be canteens with extremely affordable, healthy, tasty seasonal meals, so that people who don't wanna spend 2h a day cooking can still eat healthy
Noooo that was totally centralized violence by le evil Styling and Mahou!!!
despises history that doesn't come exclusively from western, bourgeois historians
I linked Wikipedia extensively though, there's nothing more western than that. That's the reason why there's no explanation for the ban in the modlog. I've been polite and explained everything using western sources, and it's not enough not to get banned.
Picture above: what doesn't get you banned. Picture below: what gets you banned
Link to my alt account's comment (picture below)
Community: "free of ML influence"
or "I TOTALLY SUPPORT THE ANARCHISTS DOING TERROR ATTACKS ON THE MARXIST-LENINISTS SAVING US FROM FASCISM!"
What a lack of Marxism-Leninism and historical materialism does to a mf. Literal kindergarten level leftism. These are the same people who will argue that it's the Bolsheviks ackchually who made it possible for fascists to win the Spanish civil war by repressing anarchists (no sources provided)
How is Lemmy so hilarious sometimes? "I will fight Russians with fists, guns, words or downvotes". Missing their Walmart katana on the list
As of the time of this post, some 400 souls have upvoted the post, and therefore uncritically swallowed some bullshit with horrible data methodology.
The claim stems from a small data analysis done by a reddit user, which in theory, shows how a supposed blackout in Moscow is the reason why some purported bot posters in r/conservative stopped all their posting. Sounds good and believable. Until you do the barest minimum looking into it.
As a user points out in the comments of the original Reddit post:
So, there was no blackout in Moscow... There was a blackout in the city of Zhukovsky (100k inhabitants) as per this source, original claim from an Ukrainian news site.
Let's see the hard data presented in a followup post after data collection methodology error correction due to timezones (lmao):
This is it. That's literally all they have to do to convince 400 (and growing) .world users that "30-50% of the content on r/conservative comes from a Russian bot farm". Find a correlation of ONE reported event of a blackout in a fucking tiny city of 100k inhabitants (likely not full blackout in all town) in a country of 150mn inhabitants with the posting in r/conservative. I'm not saying it's not bots in reddit, obviously, but what's the fucking link to everything coming from Russia?
Lemmy is so conspiracy brained against Russia that daring to venture into the big instances is such fucking cognitohazard. For the past year+ I've had a few accounts there trying to counter some of the propaganda, especially when it comes to China and to communism, to try and generate a bit more of a left perspective, but at this point I genuinely feel lost. They're so deep in the propaganda that any conspiracy theory about Russia or China will get to the frontpage.
So yeah, my girlfriend took me to visit the ВДНХ (look it up, libs) and it was honestly amazing. I got Gagarin to pat my head in the monument to the Kosmonauts!!
The monument was dedicated to all the people of the Soviet Union because they made it possible, almost cried reading that.
Comrade Lenin says hi to all Hexbears, I'll try and meet him in person in a few days, though I heard he's been real quiet recently.
The Azerbaijan pavillion contained, among others, a memorial to some important Azerbaijani personalities. This is a picture of Leila Mamedbekova Russian Wikipedia link, first female Azerbaijani pilot, went on to train more than 4000 pilots in her life.
Finally, got to see the Rabochii and Kolkhoznitsa statue right outside the ВДНХ, it's huge, stunning, and my girlfriend told me today that it was designed in 1937 by a female architect called Vera Mukhina.
Thanks for the patience, I'm just stoked AF
Are Lemmy anarchists okay? How does this person have 24 upvotes? In what universe are anarchists NOT doing class analysis, (therefore) don't want to abolish capitalism, and don't want to fight archism?
I suspect this is just because libs absolutely DESPISE comrade @Cowbee@hexbear.net and will upvote anything smart-sounding that supposedly addresses whatever is being discussed?
Also, gotta love the whole "I have this opinion and many anarchists will disagree and that's what anarchism is about". Like, buddy, you haven't read one book or talked to one anarchist IRL, let alone organized in your entire life.
Sorry you were there too but I think you did the right thing. I'm gonna turn down the second interview
