Dialectical Idealist
[W]e must recognize, and loudly proclaim, that everyone, whatever his grade in the old society, whether strong or weak, capable or incapable, has, before everything, the right to live, and that society is bound to share among all, without exception, the means of existence it has at its disposal.

Dialectical Idealist@lemmygrad.mlto Ask Lemmygrad@lemmygrad.ml•Is Richard Wolff a Marxist-Leninist?11·12 days agoHe’s definitely a communist of some variety. He does good introductions to socialist thought, but that doesn’t entail enough specificity to pinpoint his views. (Unless he has blatantly stated his views, maybe someone here knows.)
Should compare the wealth of billionaires to the wealth of the middle and lower class. The point still holds true but people can’t accuse you of comparing apples to oranges.
Looks like something that needs to be burned with fire

Dialectical Idealist@lemmygrad.mlto Palestine@lemmygrad.ml•Chris Hedges: The New Dark Age7·18 days agoWe are tumbling backwards in time to our origins, origins that never left us, but origins that were masked by empty promises of democracy, justice and human rights.
Well said. The current world order is rife with contradiction and the ruling class does not feel the need to hide behind their own propaganda any longer.
Dialectical Idealist@lemmygrad.mlOPto Memes@lemmygrad.ml•Housing is a necessity, not an investment.6·18 days agoAh, I see. The economic argument falls apart by its own terms. Fair point.
Dialectical Idealist@lemmygrad.mlOPto Memes@lemmygrad.ml•Housing is a necessity, not an investment.7·18 days agoI agree with your point but we should avoid equivocating our words. The capitalists sees housing as a financial investment while we see it as an investment in the well being of the person/community. Housing may give a “return” on the productivity of the workforce, but we should house people regardless of financial incentive.
98% of Americans believe the top lines and thats why the ruling class goes through the trouble of lying to us.

Dialectical Idealist@lemmygrad.mlto Technology@lemmygrad.ml•Overwatch developers form union under CWA2·26 days agoThe core gameplay of Overwatch 1 was so good. And then the publisher decided to pause updates for two years in order to push a more heavily monetized update they marketed as a sequel. And with how toxic the workplace culture became, I’m surprised the union didn’t form sooner.
That’ll be one bankruptcy, please
