Problem is, the Popular Front has a big chunck that belongs to the “Socialist Party” which traumatized everyone by winning the 2014 presidency and :
You can imagine how thin the ice is for this alliance
I’m not completely sure I understand your reasoning, but there’s something I was thinking to myself about Einstein and dialectics.
The Newtownian theory was formed at an age where the newest advancements in philosophy and science were made by seeing the world in mechanical interactions and abstract absolute rules. It was opposed to theological thinking so it allowed for massive progress.
Contemporary philosophy goes beyond the enthusiasm of the first modern scientists, and one of the manifestations of this tendency are Hegelian dialectics. Given the socialist orientation of Einstein, it wouldn’t surprise me that dialectics were a way of thinking that helped him go beyond the previously established necessity of having bodies touch each other to interact. Einstein surprised its time, not by being a man-computer that solves every equation, but by daring to bend concepts like space and time in a manner that shatters the old vision of a world made of simple little gears that activate each other by physical contact.
It’s good to see that even bourgeois dictatorships gave up on joining the imperialist boys club and recognise that they are better off joining the China-led world of fairer trading, cooperation and diplomacy. But that doesn’t make the Russian Federation cool, and we would all prefer that it wasn’t reactionary nationalists taking the decisions
That’s so biaised, of course I’m gonna vote RPGs at Walmart for the meme
Wow I never heard of them how did I not 🤣
I think even Stalin would’ve been on the lib left quadrant if you made him pass the test so rest at peace
Clearly, everyone knows that fucking sharks is the most authoritarian thing one can do
but the most important thing is knowing how to say no without sounding like you’re saying no.
Yeah it’s a lot about how to market yourself to your higher ups. An employee is a commodity and selling commodites is more about marketing than the actual quality of the product. The biggest victims of that system are the introvert ones who do six extra miles but don’t get any recognition
The role of academia under any regime of political economy is complex because there will always be incentives to defend the system in place while the standard of seriousness can’t just make it easy propaganda for the ruling class.
The easiest position for an academic to have is to criticise without opposing: being critical is a way to reinforce something (hence why communists encourage self-crit), only by actively opposing something you can destroy it.
Well if that’s an apocryphal like other comments suggest better just dig The Dragon’s Gift and everything the author had said so you can find a better sourced quote!
I tried to ask Gemini the same thing and it told me it was incapable of generating images at all… If I’m not missing anything that means OP just faked this to make the most tired and idiotic statement of every internet moron ever
Well first you buy a peach and then you put it into the freezer
If purging bigots was a sports I say we should be number one 🏆
Oh shit, totally flew over my head 😭
We wouldn’t work for the machine, we would work for ourselves with the help of machines that we program to manage the supply chain
If I understand what OP means
People’s Republic of Walmart
Psychometric tests are the equivalent of healing crystals for corporate ghouls
If you’re talking about conservative/progressive status quo people, don’t worry about them they are doing absolutely nothing. They are the kind who will be freaked out if the regime is overthrown but they won’t do anything about it and remain passive little gears of whatever system they are thrown in.
If you’re talking about how all western left leaning people are deeply liberal, with the “libertarian Marxists” the anarchists, the succdems and other kind of moralistic leftists then I understand your concern. But you must also consider that those terminally white ideologies are a result of the imperialist-enabled mode of production in the west (ie. Having everyone doing service jobs while all industry is abroad). Since imperialism is in the process of collapsing, this model will eventually decline and ideology will follow.
Aren’t young people supposed to be the enlightened ones?
Actually I think this is a huge mistake to think that the youth provides inherent wisdom. In every orchestrated color revolutions the prime target is the idealist, naive youth.
The youth is powerful because of young bodies and stubborn, inconsequential minds. We always think that young = open minded but that’s a misconception : young people are more “progressive” because they only experienced the most recent state of the world, that’s not open mindedness, they just got shipped with all the new updates while older systems have to adapt by building on their previous packages (sorry I didn’t have a better metaphor,)
On the other hand, getting older gets you radicalised. Why are old people “so reactionary”? Well if they initially were liberals, since the logical conclusion of liberalism is fascism, an old liberal will get more fascistic as they figure out the contradictions of clean optimistic liberalism. But the others, the revolutionaries keep learning and grow wiser. Sure they can get stuck in old concepts when approaching the silver stage of life but even then they are indefinitely more interesting than your 21 something anarcho-marxist who doesn’t realise he’s actively helping people that are on a CIA payroll.
I’ll conclude by hammering that being against gerontocracy was a posture held by nazis, while Xi Jinping is a wholesome grandpa so my choice is done quickly, respect the elderly ffs
Imo it’s going to happen
I still have hope for a secret Stalin card in the new popular front’s hand that would play but honestly that would be an absolute miracle
