So what else am I missing? What are the great Leftcasts that your fellow goons could be missing out on? Be sure to post if you know of any great episodes we're missing out on.

Left Communists are all the communists who split with the Leninists at the second Communist International congress in 1920, and it could mean a lot of things. It's basically everything to the "left" of Marxist-Leninism.

As a meme, Leftcom specifically means following after the theory of Italian communist Amadeo Bordiga, who thought participating in democracy was pointless since it would dilute the communist program by compromising with social democrats. Bordiga thought that what communists should do is maintain the program and propaganda until the tide of politics turned back their way from reaction. As a meme this translates to leftcoms reading theory in their armchairs, and waiting for capitalism to destroy itself instead of engaging in political activism.

Ironically enough, Bordiga self described as a leninist

Neo Yokio is a hard sit if you don't get that it's supposed to be a joke, I guess.

It's easier to watch it as a movie rather than an anime imo

Yeah they dropped the whole demon hunter thing probably so they could fit more genre parody but it made the show lose some coherence.

The Remembrancer was a better villian than the demons anyway

Markus appears to have gone completely radio silent. Haven't seen him post here or on Twitter since this poo poo blew up.

Sucks the dude sucks, but I know the pod can go on without him.

I remember Markus was one of the anti-DSA partisans during the fentonte drama.

It seems to always be dudes with skeletons in their closets that protest the hardest.

I know that worker co-ops already currently exist IRL, but do they operate at a "natural" disadvantage to regular capitalist enterprise? I keep thinking that of course a sweatshop is going to produce at a lower cost via externalities and worker exploitation.

As someone who has worked in a co-op in the past. I can tell you you have to work about as hard as any equivalent job, to remain competitive with other businesses.

I don't really think sweatshops are a good comparison, because most co-ops that I know of are above board service industry, whereas sweatshops... aren't.

Lmao if you care about the expanded universe of anything.

It's all fiction, and the fiction still exists so what does Disney's canon matter?

again my primary Thing is a medium that has for decades been defined by a willingness to alter its own history to suit a story

the difference is that comics very rarely just go "actually this whole time span didn't happen eat poo poo fuckos" instead of explaining why ACTUALLY this is what REALLY happened

also there's a literal universal mechanism in DC that explains how different stories are canon at different times, it rules hard

I'm sorry you decided to waste your time investing in something that is really just justification for perpetual franchises. :shrug:

TetsuoTW posted:

canon is both a crutch and a straitjacket for stories, gently caress canon, gently caress multiepisodic continuity, just tell the fuckin stories you want to tell and just read/watch the fuckin stories you want to read/watch

It's this, you can like franchises, but they're pretty much the most commodified form of story telling.

Or it's a natural bypeoduct of decades of stories with an eye towards people reading them over a long period of time instead of cycling in and out every couple years but I mean Whatever
