Death to paedophile feudal lords.
As far as I know that happens because in Linux ctrl+v and middle click pastes are stored in different places and are considered different things, in fact there's a third way to paste which I don't remember. But basically the middle click paste is used whenever you select a string, there's no need to copy it, and the ctrl+v paste works when you do ctrl+c.
26 downvotes... the very same people that cry for freedom on one part of the world cheer when this kind of things happen.
Better than being Usonian electoralism and boring no news from there.
The climate crisis is not because of the wheels of civilisation or because that or this, it's because of capitalism. There are alternatives, but these alternatives hurt shareholders profits, so they are not discussed.
I would like to quote this comment I saw a couple of weeks ago:
To think this is some sort of bad scenario for Russia is to be blind. They are starting to effectively tax the national bourgeoisie, the thing the Usonian “left” prides so much they should do to fix all of their homeland issues regarding quality of life, and here is painted, under the lenses of a right wing news site, as a bad thing. Under any logical circumstance if a country needs money, what makes the most sense if you don’t want to hurt the people, is to tax companies, otherwise you will end up having low wages, or you will cut spending on some other form of social welfare, which in turn then produces inflation and destabilises the country since the spending power of the working class gets diminished.
This is what Seishi Hinada, National Executive Committee member of ZENKO and the International Strategy Center, has to say about plans for the re-militarisation of Japan as a strategic geopolitical landmark in the eyes of the US to control East Asia:
The Japanese government is making the most of the war in Ukraine and the rocket launch by DPRK is getting the general public behind its policy of massive military expansion and acquiring the capabilities to attack foreign bases. Regarding the military buildup by the Japanese government, the general public seems to be in support of those policies, but there are weak points. When it comes to a tax hike for the sake of military expansion, the approval ratings will drop. So Kishida cannot talk out loud about the tax hike, and the only option he has left is to cut the budget in every other field: social welfare, health care, education, and the rest of it. In addition, the Japanese population is shrinking quicker than anticipated. So the government is asked to take drastic measures to deal with this issue too. But again, they cannot finance it because they allocate a large share of the budget to military expenses. By exposing these contradictions, more and more people will realize the necessity to radically shift the policy of military alliance and military buildup toward peaceful dialogue and disarmament. The general public’s consciousness is changing. Kishida’s support base is not so strong.
And he’s not some sort of “tankie” or radical left wing person, he’s someone that for decades has opposed the US occupation of Okinawa with military bases. In any circumstance, even if Russia is economically in not such a great position, this is the correct move to either get a grip, or gain some strength, not the move of a delirious and dying government.
As far as I know, for example, the US made a huge hole in the middle of the desert really deep and filled it with concrete and put some kind of monolith written in like 5 languages telling anyone in the future to not open it. I honestly can think of a lot of other ways to get rid of it rather than throwing it into the ocean with how we are in terms of the climate crisis.
I wanted to either write a text or do one of those images recommending specific books a while ago but ended doing nothing. It would be awesome to have something specifically done by Lemmygrad, to be honest.
I believe what one could consider "advanced Marxism" is the application of Marxism to philosophy, history and economics, or rather the dialectical method of thinking to these branches of science.
One of the reasons these are some of the fields that are used more by Marxists is because of the need that Marx had to prove the nature of capital and profit, and so on, but in reality it could be applied to anything and every branch of science could be expanded and improved with dialectics, just like Engels did with his dialectical study of the natural sciences, or how Marx applied it in his later years to the study of mathematics and calculus. While I don't think this expanse is unnecessary, it's not as important to understand the class struggle aspects that could be translated into praxis, so that's why sticking with philosophy, economy and history are more important.
If you'd want to go into either of those, you'd need to get a basic understanding of Spinoza, Ricardo, Hegel, Descartes, Adam Smith, and probably a few others. Still, I think understanding some basic Hegel you can get to understand dialectics, and I haven't tried reading Das Kapital yet, but I guess you could get something from it even though you have very basic economics.
Not related but they aren't so Western and pro AmeriKKKa and so on, they care about the Global South.
Because the US is an oligarchy controlled by the military industrial complex.
