Interested in Marxism-Leninism? Check out my “Read Theory, Darn it!” introductory reading list!
A huge number of aspects of the US’s geopolitical enemies, and its own mythologization of the Founding Fathers and early settlers.
There was also a really bad political test with liberalism on the left and conservativism on the right, and we had to take a test and put what we got in front of everyone, which was very strange.
Regardless of believability, without verification it should be taken with a large heaping of salt to begin with.
Sure, but that also means there are tons of myths and fabrications told about the DPRK that people accept uncritically just because there’s so little real information coming from there.
We need to have optimism, not just because it’s healthier, but because it combats the inaction that comes from nihilism. Doomerism leads to inaction, revolutionary optimism takes the path of positive action. With that being said…
The path to beat Capitalism is not through supporting non-profits. The accumulatory and expansionary nature of Capital necessitates its growth, we don’t fight this by supporting alternatives, but by seizing the large firms via smashing the old state and replacing it with a Socialist one.
Capitalism in decay will protect itself, however ugly it needs to get. Sometimes it even puts on a mask and calls itself fascism if the circumstances require extra brutal means. The silver lining is that fixing it is the same as in the first section, revolution and instituting Socialism.
Some countries are doing more than others. China, for example, has invested huge sums into solar panel production and development, and has dramatically shiftef towards renewables and combatting desertification. Capitalist countries will typically lag behind Socialist countries like the PRC when it comes to addressing issues that don’t have profit as the top priority.
Non-profits will tend to lag behind for-profits under Capitalism as the for-profits have far more resources and support from Capitalist states to makw a better environment for them.
I don’t think this is true. There are Socialist coumtries that, while certainly imperfect, do place a priority on addressing these. Even within Capitalist states, there are working class organizations and parties trying to build that better future. Nihilism clouds your sight and judgement, it obfuscates the shining rays of hope we have.
Overall, I find reading Leftist theory helps me better understand the problems with the world, and what we all need to do to fix it. This keeps me grounded and hopeful. The road is nearly easy nor impossible, but hard. I have an introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list you can check out if you want to.
It’s back up on Lemmy.world.
They are currently actively answering on the Lemmy.world version of this post, apparently they picked SJW because it doesn’t require any verification.
Have you considered making posts on Lemmygrad.ml and Hexbear.net ? Both of those instances are supportive of the DPRK and would have many users very interested in an AMA. Would require a Lemm.ee account or otherwise.
To be fair, this goes both ways. You can say anything about the DPRK and Westerners will believe you.
Assuming this is real, what are your favorite foods, and what do you spend your free time doing?
Caravan from Fallout: New Vegas has a notoriously bad tutorial, but is easy enough to grasp and fun as an early-game money source. Would have benefited from a Gwent-style sidequest chain.
Outside the realm of Political Economy, I really can’t stand it when people cancel plans last second, especially if they ghost. If you’re going to cancel on the group hangout, let us know!
Anarchism requires revolution, so at minimum guns are necessary for that.
Is that an uncommon stance among Anarchists?
They would appreciate it, when I mentioned this AMA other users expressed sadness that they cannot participate due to sh.itjust.works not being connected to Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml.
