Chomsky has some insanely good writing and speeches about this. The MiC/pentagon system is the only thing keeping our economy competitive, but it does so in a super inefficient way to keep government money from benefiting the proletariat.

Condiv posted:so are we still pretending that prison labor is not slave labor? after that racist southern sheriff demonstrated it so well? Ok yeah so this is obviously bad, but lets not jump to conclusions and assume the equivalent program in 1980s Arkansas was also bad.

yronic heroism posted:Literally all I'm saying is it shouldn't be that hard to call out Nazi poo poo on the forums. The poster quickly removed the reference and has been denounced by many posters and should receive a probe if he didn't already get one and wasn't even close speaking positively about actual Nazi ideology.

Reparations as described by TNC are absolutely essential. But I've posted before that I wouldn't call them reparations and they shouldn't be limited to black communities. There is really no basis to suspect a single poster itt would vote for the GOP over the Dems over reparations of all things.

A major component of reparations policy is the unification of gaming. No consoles but PlayStation. Nintendo makes games for PlayStation now and Xbone is illegal.

Harik posted:That really is a fundamental divide, yes. Of course there is a structural difference between three differently-structured media apparatus. The question is whether these differently-structured apparatus create meaningful distinctions in output. I don't believe they do. Further, you are completely underestimating the systemic factors at play in determining what stories get covered by capitalist media. A fairer description would be: * privately controlled media that must, as an systemic necessity, retain access to government sources and maintain credibility with its advertisers. An even fairer description could probably be shortened to: * privately-controlled media that explicitly exists to serve the interests of capital. Edit: Read Manufacturing Consent. The book is slightly dated at this point as evinced by Trump's election, but its model of how media functions in a capitalist system is still convincing.
