Yeah get up to date on your Egyptian history OP/s

For me political and school related organizations were great but any form of social work helps. You don’t have to go to a bar or a club, you can tend to a community garden or volunteer at a canteen. The first start to meeting people is finding an environment you feel comfortable ti meet them in imo
Can I mod them? Because if so
This is my fourth meme about Orpheus today? Wtf is going on
RFK considers people with ADHD who are perscribed stimulants to be addicts
I am really glad and very priveleged to have been diagnosed with ADHD. However, I worry that my official diagnoses might put me in danger soon
Other commenter gave a good answer but I can provide some alternative answers and/or fill gaps. First, I recommend reading Reform or Revolution by Rosa Luxembourg as this discussion has been had for over a century. The main issue is that you cannot reform into socialism, you can only reform to a point. There are people who’s positions of power entirely depend on the domination of the working class, on their ownership of production. They won’t give that up just because the workers vote for it, even if it is very popular. Why would they? They control the military, the food, the water, the electricity, our communication, even the information we receive. Reform can get you concessions, but it will never grant you freedom from the shackels of wage slavery because the capitalists depend on your servitude for their wealth and power.
As for how viable revolution is in the imperial core. It isn’t. We don’t stand a chance of revolting anytime soon as things stand. Its foolish of us to think the workers revolutions will begin here anyway. They will start in the periphery, especially Africa imo but also Latin America and Asia. Our goal here is to prepare a organization for when our revolutionary moment occurs, when the people have been made desperate by the loss of their portion of the imperial plunder. We should build trust by working closely with unions for workers rights, we should feed the homeless, provide financial assistance to the poor and fight for social equality so that people know who will actually assist them in a crisis. We should also prepare our organization to function as an interim government when the time comes.
You form a union and bargain with your employer. Thats about it though
Could have sworn we already declared victory over them
Low latency and likely reduced cooling. Infrastructure also doesn’t have to deal with gravitational weight. Energy can also be solar power which is a plus.
Thank god they built high speed rail. Can’t imagine what those poor civil engineers had to struggle through before that.
I think long term we could find a place for those who wish to live in a decentralized commune free of hierarchy. I understand that the centralized vision of communist human progress essentially requires hierarchy but I think we will progress to a point where that becomes undesirable for a large amount of people. Eventually we will reevaluate what it means to even progress.
I mean kind of yes but most people would not call them synonymous
Ok so lets say you get rid of the central authority in one fell swoop. What happens when the millions of people who really really benefitted from that authority or atleast believe themselves to benefit decide they want it back. Can a decentralized stateless society truly win political or military battles against them? I can tell you from history that everyone who has tried this eventually resorted to their own centralized authority in order to survive, failed, or both. Communist do not see centralized authority as good, we see it as a means to survive.
Thats so funny because you have it completely backwards. Communism, the end goal, is a moneyless, classless, stateless society in which hierarchy has ceased to exist. State socialism or “the dictatorship of the proletariat” is a interim step on the path to communism that aims to eliminate class and the social structures that perpetuate it.
Mmmmm, fried plantains sound so good rn. Try frying and seasoning slives of peel too. Season them like you would a french fry or potato chip. Bit of a strange aftertaste but you get used to it and its less noticable in homegrown ones
Siding with dictators is an American tradition
None of my hobbies will last as long as I want and thats okay
