That’s interesting… Communism is by definition stateless and without significant hierarchy. I don’t think other Tankies would disagree with me there.

The ideological difference is in how we achieve communism. I would really suggest reading ‘What is to be Done’ by Lenin. It’s a real short read but was one of the things that sold me on Marxism-Leninism vs. regular “Communism is a neat idea”

Capitalism will sell you the “you’re your own boss, go forth an conquer” all while keeping you under their heel. There is no equality or opportunity there; but even worse is that they will worm their way into any system that does not harshly and consistently fight back against them. Ergo the need for a ‘communist’ (or rather pursuing communism) state.

That then leads into “Well how does the state go away once we’ve got communism?” That’s a whole 'nother can of worms…

Cool, face the wall lib.

That’s not even where the term originates. Come on, if you’re going to use the term at least do the 10 second Google search.

100 percent agreed. They’ll group anything too far left of them under the same name. Don’t care anymore. If they want to whine then fuck it, I’ll wear the term.

The .world libs just couldn’t help themselves but ruin our circlejerk.

Sure fuck it. I’ll Tankie. Castro is a hero. Western news knows nothing of glorious DPRK Juche, and comrade Stalin did nothing wrong.

Yes.

Maybe I’m just an old man now, but I feel like you’re overthinking it. If you feel it’s worth another try call him and take the initiative to suggest something. If not, don’t.

Don’t ask strangers what to do when you know what you want inside. My first date with my wife was us with a group of mutual friends at the zoo, then she pretty much decided I belonged to her. So I’m not really one to tell you who should pay or whatever.

Life is too damn short to overthink these things.

Nice: "Thank you for the input, I prefer to do it the way I have been, which is equally effective and works for me. If you believe it is causing issues elsewhere in our workflow we can bring it up with manager "

Less Nice: “I understand, but no thank you.”

Less nice than that: While maintaining direct eye contact, “No.”

Not nice: “Shouldn’t you be doing your job and not mine?”

Satisfying, but likely get you fired: “Fuck off.”

Was the Iranian attack successful? I haven’t seen any information that the drones landed successfully.

Yeah. I saw that and just knew people would take it out of context. CR said their internal roadmap and plans for 1.0 are done. That’s it.

They’re putting a LOT of stuff in right now, but we’re still a ways out from ‘1.0’.

A: Nordic systems like that are by definition not a form of economic socialism.

B: Gonna make an assumption that you using Tankie was likely referencing some authoritarian policy and just grouping them all under ‘tankie’ as a generic insult like most .world liberals. Leninists or other ML flavors are not tankies.

I don’t necessarily agree with down voting just for the inaccuracies of A. The boring ‘tankie’ this and ‘tankie’ that from the libs is getting REAL old though. They can’t even borrow an insult correctly. I have no issues with memes and banning people for that as those people clearly have no intention of serious conversation.

It’s exhausting to the point that you were likely dismissed the moment that happened. I know it’s bad for spreading ideas and I don’t really like it. That said, explaining the real definition and real points of debate for the 100th time when really only every 10th person had an honest desire to learn/share is trying to say the least.

As an authoritarian leaning Leninists I will gladly tell you why Anarchism and Libertarian Socialism inevitably fail though if you want.

Please do. Control was such a hidden gem. I picked it up in a humble bundle and it absolutely blew me away.

Yep. Can confirm, I can’t even look at them anymore without feeling that bile rise.

That said. I miss MXE. Since the UK banned it I haven’t found it anywhere.

I’m a 14kyu on online-go.com. I suppose that counts.

So… Not to techbro this, but can we crowdfund this and accidentally reinvent the revolution?

Hire hitmen to remove the other 100 richest people in the 🌎.

That’s the neat part, you dont. I’m in my mid 30s and I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.

Thank you for validating me. Event Horizon scares me to this day. Clawing out his eyes? Fucking no thank you.

Been thinking about this. Did you train anywhere or just get a wing and motor and just go for it?

Running Coriolis and Exalted right now… I get you.
