And Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Chile, etc, etc.

WTF are you smoking? Most Latin american elections are more politically comparable to the US than Germany and Romania.

The government funding is really key here. We would be seeing communists constantly starting co-ops if seed money wasn’t a barrier. That’s not to say co-ops would be successful.

One could argue that profit is waste.

Its not, its profit. Dividends to share holders are interest payments on vital loans which co-ops don’t have access too. Those early investments provide more of an edge than not having to pay them. Otherwise firms wouldn’t bother with investors at all.

You could say excessive c-suite salaries are a waste. But those high salaries gets you the absolute psychos who will squeeze more excess value from the workers than any co-op could. Co-op workers wont be as greedy with wages or benefits, but they will absolutely look to cut their workload and get more free time (actual freedom).

Part of being a Marxist is accepting that the capitalist theory of profit motive applying to everyone is true. Its not universally true to everyone in every instance. And its certainly not a moral imperative like capitalist ghouls believe. But when we’re talking about statistics and large populations it absolutely does hold.

Making more co-ops doesn’t make them any more competitive against companies that exploit their workers for extra profit.

If you can make a successful co-op then go for it. But they absolutely aren’t a path to any sort of revolution, which communists are all about. Forming a labor union in a critical industry is a much higher priority for communists than starting another co-op.

I doing the same thing but someone told me about HBA cards and that’s what I’d do next time I upgrade. Way more affordable flexible and efficient then trying to find a mobo with 8 data ports.

Separately, the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group “took a shot” at the Truman on Tuesday, four of the people said, despite President Donald Trump announcing an apparent ceasefire with the group hours earlier. It is not clear whether the two incidents are related.

Emphasis mine. Every time they loose a jet in the Red Sea, its always around the same time Ansarallah is taking shots at a carrier.

Bernie and AOC seem to be hoovering up the MSNBC liberal boomer demographic at this point because that demo has finally snapped and the dems leadership is completely absent.

That, however, probably won’t translate into a progressive/socialist candidate winning the next presidential primary. They might have a stronger showing but dem leadership will move to protect their donors and stifle that candidate.

Sounds like a good opportunity to draw some square kufic.

They were already banned for other trolling behavior, just not because they used neopronouns. Please get an actual bearing on reality.

The pronoun was just “drag”. PJ is the one who kept calling them “dragonfucker”. You can go read dragonriders comments instead of just repeating gossip.

I wouldn’t call lisp “lawful”.

That’s when you have to comply with decades of backwards compatibility.

At no point should C++ be considered “lawful” or “good”. Haskell would be the best.

Many are, yes, but 1) be selective of what union you join, 2) you’re union vote counts more than your federal vote. Usurping a corrupt union boss is a much smaller task than usurping a corrupt democrat and can yield far more results.

Freshly organized work places are almost always more radical than those those entrenched, so organizing your workplace now is more important than ever. Then you can pick which union to join.

Usonians

Lack of criticism of the US government in the first place is what got us here. You can say the GOP is worse all you want but you must admit that the Democrats are massive fuck ups too if you want things to ever get better.

You can’t keep falling for this notion of “every criticism of the democrats is supporting the GOP”. Its not even an election year for Christ’s sake.

You were 14. What family?

Look for ways to pursue political goals beyond obediently punching a ballot. The billionaires don’t control politics just because they vote harder. There’s lots of ways to go about it but almost all practical strategies involve being a part of a larger organization. Unions are the most classic example.

A state being a dictatorship has absolutely zero bearing on the US’s relationship with the state only its rhetoric about it.
