Aww, is Fallout: New Vegas considered “skibidi” now? It’s 14 years old!

🧓 <- me after saying that…

Must… resist… urge… to re-install New Vegas!

The Steam Deck fixed this for me, the ability to just turn it on and start playing makes a huge difference!

Seeya!

The USSR was better for the vast majority of the population, 7 million people died due to its collapse. When the former Socialist state was sliced up and sold for parts, just like the “Washington Consensus” wanted, the people paid the price with their blood. The modern Russian Federation and all its ills stem from that liberalization of the economy and subsequent plundering. Putin is just a label for what liberalism accomplished, even without Putin the RF would have taken a similar if not near identical course.

Oh almost certainly, I just never waste an opportunity I see to hopefully educate someone a bit more on Marxist Theory if I can.

Would you mind elaborating?

Just the two of us… 🎶

Sometimes they try to decouple liberalism from fascism and claim they went straight to fascism from Socialism.

It’s easy, there’s no such thing as a good Russia for Liberals. Can’t be Capitalist, can’t be Socialist, can’t be Tsarist…

I think everyone that can read needs this message too. There’s a difference between knowing misogyny is bad, for instance, and knowing how and why it works and how to eliminate it forever.

It isn’t “American indoctrination,” the ideas held by people are largely determined by their social relations and material conditions. Understanding how people come to their conclusions and the beliefs they hold is a fundamental aspect of theory, because it illuminates how we can change those beliefs.

Liberals generally want the same things Leftists do, but don’t understand the systems around them, their trajectories, or their weaknesses, and thus not how to overcome them or what needs to be done.

The Gender Accelerationist Manifesto is a good essay for that.

We can’t bring the Democrats to where they need to be, they serve their donors, and their donors would rather the Democrats lose than shift left. The DNC cannot be infiltrated either, it sustains itself purely from its donors, and as such needs establishment figures that prop up the system with fundraising, while radicals are cast aside.

This is why theory is important.

Reading theory helps keep me from distress. If we know our enemy, and how it operates, we can struggle and defeat it.

Reading theory helps us analyze what’s wrong with our society, how we can solve these issues, and gives us the ability to struggle for this change. I keep a Marxist theory reading list for beginners that I can link, if anyone wants it.

Hell yea! Crosscode is super fun if you want a suggestion!

Lady Izdihar makes great content! Super interesting if you are curious about Soviet history.

No problem!

It’s a fantastic radicalization piece. We are in a time of uncertainty, but that also opens up new opportunity. Like Mao said, “everything under heaven is in utter chaos; the situation is excellent.”

Have you watched the full speech? It hits hard the whole way through.
