GalacticAcid posted:Having actually good censors would be sick and I'm not even the least bit ironic about this. A look behind the scenes at China’s censorship watchdog quote:Liu doesn't even like to use the word "disapprove" when talking with his colleagues. When he feels a movie shouldn't pass review, he instead says: "I don't think film is very solid, what do you think?"

AnEdgelord posted:The problem is both that some are unwilling to recognize any gains made in the past few years (i.e. that an american left wing movement is even a vague possibility at all) and others that think that left's current efforts are all that is required. Of course the end result of both viewpoints is an apathy that could cause all of this to stall out. theres nothing wrong imo with electoral politics. the biggest issue socialists in the US face now is that most of the newly radicalized layers of people since trumps election are basically only engaging with ideas through electoral politics, and even more dangerously, almost solely doing so through the democratic party. its not new to the DSA, CPUSA has thrown support behind dems for years and even SA supported sanders and has been positive towards AOC and salazars elections, but the ISO put out a good article recently that I think does a good job of highlighting the strategy the DSA has argued for the dems and what it will ultimately lead to https://isreview.org/issue/110/more-ballot-line

Yeah, I mean that's about the size of it. Democrats are laughably corrupt, accelerationism is a lie, pull the lever straight D but don't expend a single whit of energy being concerned with or pushing for liberals of any stripe to get into office. If self-branded "socialist" candidates get into office, concern troll the gently caress out of their compromised positions to agitate, because if SOME socialism makes sense, why not all of it? Why does anyone have to starve? Why does anyone have to live hard in the streets? Are we a civilized society? Why are we taking only 15% more of the elite's stolen wealth? Why not 30% or 40% or 100%?

Pener Kropoopkin posted:It's actually a good question just how much communist firms would be able to control the image of an intellectual "property." Obviously you can't control it completely, so you'd end up with a Toho or Sonic situation every time - but there's going to be a lot of give and pull over whether the community determines canon or the creators. it settling in where doujinshi culture is would be good, and i think even likely. in the absence of the capitalist ip structure there's no way to prevent use but also no profit motive to piggyback, which works right back to short print run fanworks coexisting as what-ifs.

The way it works in folk culture is people just do their own spin on stories and cultural touchstones in the oral tradition, and whichever one is considered the best gets "canonized" in the folk consciousness.

it's fine if, in the ten minutes you spend in a voting booth every two to four years, you push the democrat button. just as long as you do so realizing how completely insignificant it is, and do most if not all of your political work completely separate from that process.

This was actually what Marx was going to write in the critique but it was a little too radical for his time.
