"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

There's something really sexy about Scrooge McDuck. I love Uncle Scrooge.

I was listening to some 70s rock last night and I realized that the complaints of blue collar men, living in a small house with a rusty screen door and a wife and a kid that you sometimes argue with, are like unattainable Xanadus for modern young people.

the real problem with housing in the eastern block was shortages that forced whole extended families to pack in to a single apartment. now capitalism on the other hand, capitalism is so innovative we have too much housing and nobody can afford it anyway.

for anyone curious or who doesnt know, militant was the forerunner of the the current socialist party of england and wales and basically the first section of the CWI which socialist alternative in the US is part of. that pic is from around when they were at their strongest with several mps and several city councils controlled by them, right before prolly their greatest success the anti-poll tax campaign. following that, the labour party proceeded to expel and kick out many members of militant because of the campaign for non-payment of the poll tax by what would become new labour.

yeah but he covered the enclosure of the commons and the history of capitalism and that opens up the door to Marx

at least it did for me

if you didn't get around to reading his analysis of anti-duhring in SMPE and just took the segment on "letters of blood and fire" on its face, i'll consider that a deficiency of carson's presentation

sorry buddy, the rest of the thread is garbage, and I did read all of it.

he's straight up wrong on left-wing 'grifters' earning more than right-wing 'grifters' - wing nut welfare on the right is notorious and widespread, and it's like every new week there's a new right-wing guy running the circuit, getting free media coverage, and so on. meanwhile, to be out and out leftists is basically to be ignored. compare the media coverage of trump vs. bernie and it's pretty obvious that the grift potential on the left is...really low.

but running through the whole thing is the supposition that friends = fascism, and that the only thing that not fascism is an atomized existence. it's pure liberalism.

he's talking about far more intimate abuses than swindling, which probably anyone who has associated with leftist communities outside of online comedy irony platforms has encountered. though i legitimately do not fault you for misunderstanding, gillis just has his head so far up his own rear end it becomes a spectacle i cannot ignore, i've read other pieces to catch the context

i despise it when i hear entitled millennials complaining about having to move apartments every couple of years because they're tied to absolutely nowehere, fleeing the annual rent hikes like temporal waves of misery from one temp job to another, when they know full well that they're standing to inherit theyir parents massive house complex when those kind gentle fucks finally croak at the ripe old age of 96 or whatver. in 30 years or so, when they turn 60. like, whats your problem?

it's not a rhetorical question, for politely saying 'you are an idiot, you don't know what you are talking about'


thats why seniors are targeted for predatory loans and reverse mortgages, so that the financial sector can take all their money when they die. robbing inheritance is a gold mine!

You think White people care about any of that?

It's difficult enough for me not to draw that kind of distinction because our political climate is so heavily influenced by occidentophiles, which is why I try to use Global South instead of 3rd World and Global North instead of 1st World or The West.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

hey maoists

if the first world is so bad, why has almost every important philosophical, political, and scientific advance of the past few centuries come from there, including marxism? yea imperialism boohoo, western cultures are still doing something right

and gently caress the bourgeois sciences, we can figure out biology and agriculture from scratch am i right boys??

the point is that the first world has colonized the third world and kept authoritarian corrupt regimes in place to benefit themselves

i think MTW solution to the problem is a totally bonkers pipe dream but their view of the world is largely correct imo

I'm more sympathetic to Cuba there but dude c'mon Venezuela is a nation state that is western in terms of state structure and history. They just pissed off the entire western world by voting in socialists, but that doesn't make them not western
