It’s darkly funny reading about interwar Poland being loving insane, whatever was going on with the Czechs (which was not harmonious democracy), Austria shopping around to oppose Hitler, Romania shopping around to oppose Hitler, Italy shopping around to oppose Hitler, and Britain and France only caring about an anti-COMINTERN alliance. I decided to start reading up on the Spanish Civil War, and first, lol anarchists, second aggressive anticlericalism went great, and third the Spanish Republic was at best cut loose by France and the UK, but honestly it looks like they were outright sabotaged and Franco had support in Gibraltar and across the Pyrenees. The British 100% were aiding Franco through Gibraltar, the name of the book on it escapes me though.

I think there's merit in both the need for a Rat Race to diffuse tensions (elections that don't actually change the direction of the country, industries that aren't vital to survival, some sort of system where the sociopathic can waste their time earning a high score), and in some sort of romanticism (be it religious or otherwise) to inspire unity & creativity. Yes, the USSR technically tried the latter, but I'm interested in how many actually bought into the 'New Soviet Man' push, and how many saw it as transparently motivated. I don't think either are responsible for the collapse of the USSR (IMO that was first and foremost a misplaced belief that the US and Europe could be bargained with & charmed.)

Specialized Army formations that were created and trained specifically to demolish fortified positions in the front. Going back to what's been tried and tested

mila kunis posted:no i dont think thats it. all the old school communists were pretty clear that socialism should be able to deliver nice, material things and a wealth of use values. people will want better things, you cant live off ideology. the capitalist view is that socialism couldn't deliver because it doesn't work. the socialist view is that it DID deliver, massively - the socialist bloc was massively better off than the majority of humanity, they just couldn't catch up with the imperial core because of the centuries worth of head start the US/british had, plus the sheer devastation from war and post war economic blockade and strangulation. That and the imperial core isolated them from accessing resources where they could. Its not that Communism couldn't deliver Bananas or oranges, its just the number of countires that did grow these was far more limited in the Socialist world than the capitalist one keeping any left programs out of power in their former colonies at all costs.

My new wunderwuffen mega super ultra tank of tomorrow has everything. Most importantly it has a transmission system equal to formula one for extra power! That also means it requires an on-site pit repair crew at all times, burns out after 2 hours maximum and is 99% carbon fibre. Including the gun.

This Marxist in the belly of the beast asks why would I give a flying gently caress about a comrade's theology? The question is their political economy, their historical worldview. Atheists can be and have been some of the worst idealistic metaphysicians that ever sullied our godless earth. The earliest respectable attempt at a materialist historical theory I'm aware of was written by a devout Muslim. Whether a comrade thinks about the struggle in material terms or not, is infinitely more important than, and not neatly correlated to, whatever they imagine about the heavens.
