I always leave all my doors open. I have a cat and she likes to walk around. Also if I leave the blinds open on the front windows there’s technically a direct line of sight from the front walkway to my bathroom toilet through like two open doors so if someone really wanted to they could watch me poop

150-or-so years ago, Karl Marx developed a scientific method for understanding socio-economics and translating common political goals towards collective action. Most of the conclusions he came to through this scientific method have borne out in the decades since, a few have not, but the method itself is, I believe, concrete.

As the years went on, additional theoreticians - especially Lenin and Mao - have further developed his theories.

But I think the key is to never be dogmatic - that different times call for different approaches, that sometimes you need forced collectivization, but sometimes you need the New Economic Policy. Sometimes you wage a protracted peasants’ war, sometimes you elect Sewer Socialists.

A lot of people can get too caught up in the tendencies and sub-tendencies. I believe that all Marxists should be part of a single Socialist political party where disagreements are handled internally by rigorous debate and elections among Communists.

I’ve been told the key is to just not pay the last months rent and let them take it out of the deposit

Not the captain, the political commissar.

“When is the last time you hit your wife?” ass question

If I killed a Nazi I’d steal his watch too

I don’t care if it’s antisemitic to say so, but I will never take someone named “Schlomo Kramer” seriously.

I honestly felt that the weapon degradation was freeing in a way - that every item in the same was a consumable to be used and not an item to be collected and stashed away forever while you just use the Zweihander from the graveyard for 90% of the game. Even the unique quest items broke, but you could do another quest to unlock the ability to buy infinite versions! I thought that was great game design.

The man who did 9/11 died a couple days ago

You say this ironically, but there are several relatively recent U.S. presidents or people in their administration who have said things that would get them branded tankies today.

I’m thinking specifically of a speech Jimmy Carter gave where he said it’s no wonder North Korea ended up the way it had, considering we bombed every building over two stories into the ground.

Kissinger is also obviously evil but only because of his realpolitik - by modern ideological standards where any anti-Western power is treated as worse than Hitler by even social Democrats, his dispassionate readings would get him labeled a Marxist.

Marxism is the only valid framework to analyze the world.

They’re answering like that because they’re trying to be kind and give you the benefit of the doubt - but no, lol, no one here over the age of ten believes in magic anymore lmao. If that’s the straight answer you want

No lol. Belief in the supernatural in any form is un-Marxist.

Whether that’s angels and demons and deities, witches and ghosts, or astrology and healing crystals. It is a virtue to have a completely Materialist worldview.

Worldwide Socialist revolution. Creating a society hostile to the accumulation of wealth, where all means of production are controlled by the workers.

Call me when they revoke recognition of Israel

I think the larger point is that private messages are visible to instance admins.

The Mexican section of your grocery store should have Clamato or other brands of Mexican tomato juice

Yeah that seems fine tbh
