I hate anti-moderates because it spreads the idea that compromise is impossible and not worth bothering with, which isn't true in most cases

Republicans say block 100℅ of abortions. Leftists say block 0℅ of abortions. The dialectical answer is clearly to order doctors to arbitrarily deny every other woman who comes in for an abortion. *Alienates his base* *Loses election to orange Benito* At least I got poo poo done.

Dreddout posted:I don't get it, what does this have to do with Mandalore What I'm getting at is the Republic's attempts at meeting the Separatists in the middle prolonged the war and gave the Republic a need for Clone Troopers. If the Republic had applied a Shock and Awe strategy on issues like abortion and general trade federation fuckery, the war would have ended in a week.

What are some good books to feature Space Communism? It's pretty funny to think about how many great works of sci-fi feature the most awesome imaginable power, the ability to go faster than light and therefore reverse causality itself, while sticking to existing understandings of property relations.

Tacky-rear end Rococco posted:What are some good books to feature Space Communism? It's a bit of an side-dish in a broader meal of madness, but one of the early, near-future chapters of Accelerando hinges around a communist party politician realizing that computers had advanced to the point that a sufficiently good autonomous expert system could run a command economy that would thrive in a broader capitalist context.

Tacky-rear end Rococco posted:What are some good books to feature Space Communism? The Culture series of books are good, imo. The Strugatsky Brothers also did some speculative fiction about space communism. Hard to be a God is considered an all-time classic, but it's not actually set in space communist utopia.
