The big newspapers like the times of india are okay when you just need some coverage but they share the same brand of carrying water for the administration like ours do. There are some neat interviews with nalaxites out there though. This is an interview with the secretary of the CPI(M) who was recently released from prison. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3HdPLE1Sjw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h2CuSKzFm4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYI4GoPqDWQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElgpDNOkyAw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYuAC_T2xPU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF54VwVpdhs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imR9lPYThps

Gotta use CPI (Maoist) to refer to the Naxals, since CPI (Marxist) also exists.

apropos to nothing posted:yeah I mean I understand that people do all sorts of contradictory things but most spiritual belief hinges on some set of ideas or rules which outline whats good and bad and these things dont change and are decided by a supreme being and how well you follow them determines what happens to you after you die. this kind of thinking doesnt gel with dialectical materialism at all and imo runs completely counter to it. not a value judgement or anything but i just dont understand how someone can genuinely believe in/practice dialectical materialism and also be a genuine believer/practitioner of any religion im aware of. you dont think the socialist ideal defines a moral ideal for a mortal to aspire to then? the whole point of marxism, of socialism, is the ascension of the human being toward a higher state of being, and you're saying you dont the see any echoes of metaphysical dvinity in that, which is ridiculous, which means you cant possibly mean that. socialism is simply the current phase of ascension on the long road, from a literal mud of nuclear and amino, towards a kardashev scale civilication, and if you do not see a connection to the prophets of human history, advocating a more perfect and moral form of social organization, then i dunno what to tell ya. Marx was simply the last of the prophets, and we await for the next Allah deems us worthy of receiving. the Empire is awaiting the fall all empires are fated for, and we await for the next turn of the wheel pleanty of ways to see marxism a methaphysical representation insh'Allah

marxism is ultimately an aspirational project aimed at the collective and individual self-fulfillment of humanity there, i said it in a boring enough way for people who read marx

What are people's opinions on the debate between full employment guarantees and UBI? Amber Frost seems to think that it would cause people to regress to a state similar to 50s housewives. https://jacobinmag.com/2019/09/andrew-yang-universal-basic-income-ubi-betty-friedan-feminine-mystique

ToxicAcne posted:What are people's opinions on the debate between full employment guarantees and UBI? quote:America has already witnessed the largest UBI experiment known to history — the postwar middle-class housewife. And she was utterly miserable. this seems like an utterly buffoonish comparison and idk why I’d bother reading the rest of the article if she thinks that’s a good jumping off point
