Honestly wtf was up with old time adventure people? They’d like drag a whole fucking house with them, “Oh dear I can’t spend a week in Antarctica without a claw foot bathtub!”

Also, I’m pretty sure the image on the right is more than 1600 calories.
I organize with a bunch in my daily life and I would peg it at solidly 75% are warm on China and more pissed at their landlord than Putin or whatever.
I’m sorry but I am really having a hard time buying this. Where the fuck are you meeting pro-CCP anarchists?
too hard on Maoists
The only Maoists who get made fun of are MIM (white terrorists) weirdos who say it’s fascist to order vegan pizza with your credit card (visa signature rewards)
It’s just weird to call it an “anti-sectarianism” rule when it’s not really, cuz we’re fine with sectarianism, for example we all drag the fuck out of Trots and Ultras. It’s really just a “don’t bully the anarchists” rule. I just find it weird they’re the only ones who get a pass.
I mean we all know the REAL reason. Anarchism is the most popular radical left tendency in the imperial core so we kinda have to be nice to them on this Anglo tankie site if we ever want to attract new members. Just wish people were honest about it.
Was gonna say, people here talk about “fake internet anarchists” but it ain’t exactly like the anarchists I’ve known irl are super pro-USSR. If anything I’ve encountered more AES sympathetic anarchists online than off.
To me this raises a more interesting question. We keep having debates about who and what is a real anarchist Vs a lib who thinks they’re an anarchist. I think the question should be: why do so many Libs find the label anarchist appealing and more palpable than communist?
Okay, doesn’t explain why we don’t extend the same courtesy to Trots or whoever
Why do we always put quotes around “anarchist” whenever an anarchist has a bad take? It’s not like sincerely identifying as an anarchist makes one immune from bad takes. We don’t do this for any other leftist tendency, we don’t put quotes around “ML” or “Trot” whenever one posts some cringe ass shit.
True, gas would make more sense in their situation
Curious if they’re electric, diesel or hybrid. Article doesn’t say.
UBI without some sort of partner program to de-commodity the things humans need to live (food, shelter, healthcare) and eventually things we need to live a decent life (education, recreation) would likely lead to a situation like in The Expanse where the “basic income” is truly basic, just enough to live off ramen noodle and rent a crap studio. What jobs there were would be hotly competed over since everyone wants more to life than microwaved noodles and playing the first Halo on a 20 year old Xbox.
This may sound a bit weird, but it’s a random thought I’ve had, does anyone ever feel like memes like this almost make us leftists come off a bit too idealistic and romantic?
Lemme clarify where I’m coming from here. As I get older, I’m in mg 30s now, I’ve come to the realization a lot of people don’t want the life of a bohemian artist who’s traveling constantly and does six different types of creative hobby. A lot of people want a kinda boring stable life with a house, a job that’s rewarding but not too physically or mentally taxing, enough time off to take a nice vacation once or twice a year, and the resources to keep them and their family comfortable. I guess I say this cuz this is increasingly how I feel as I get older. Add this to the fact that I don’t think FALGSC is coming anytime soon, if Mecha Lenin pulled off the perfect revolution today we’d still probably have a few generation of people needing to pull 9-5s before we got to the point we could all be space traveling poets like in Star Trek so maybe don’t oversell what we can deliver to people alive now? Focus on shit an actual socialist government could achieve in our lifetimes, like public housing, more vacation time, free healthcare?
Dude, you have some hair in your face.
The problem is who gets to decide what’s acceptable and what isn’t?
Yeah! Who gets to decide if it’s acceptable for me to take a shit on the floor at Arby’s? Who died and made you God Arby’s manager?
It’s Miss Zimbabwe, not Miss Rhodesia
Real clever of Putler to plant that old as fuck Nazi collaborator in Canada. Really dedicated to the long game he is!
Incel was probably too extreme of a comparison. My point is, while socialism would perhaps make it easier for individuals to confront these problems, a lot of the leg work to actually improve their situation still falls on the individual. I may have an easier time working on not being a basement dwelling troglodyte under socialism but i still would have to do the bulk of the work myself.
“I think both things are bad!”
“Do you spend a roughly equal amount of time complaining about both of them?”
“Well… no…”
