It’s simple, the US Empire is causing this issue. They perpetually fund Israel as a genocidal settler-colony that projects power in the Middle East so the Petro-Dollar is secure. When the world trades in dollars, the US Empire profits massively.

Depends on what branch of Philosophy you follow.

What?

Ethics and legality are far from the same, or even linked.

Individually? Either try to ride with the Capitalists for as long as they last if you’re already one of them, or join the Working Class and help bring about Socialism.

Capitalism has a natural tendency to go from free competition and decentralization to centralization over time, which lowers the real rate of profit. In fighting this, Capitalists go for more centralization to raise absolute profits, which has a definite limit. This means Socialism, ie public ownership and central planning by the Working Class, is a logical step beyond Capitalism brought about by Capitalism’s very mechanisms.

I have an Introductory Reading List for Marxism if you want to read more about what you can do personally.

It’s a natural consequence of the decay of Capitalism, it will polarize and affect more and more people as time goes on.

Is that your personal ideology, or the ideology of sh.itjust.works?

Is solarpunk really an ideology? It seems more like a deliberate aesthetic choice to guide actual ideologies like Anarchism, at least from what other slrpnk.net users have explained to me. Is there actual “Solarpunk” theory that isn’t an addendum to other ideologies?

I always figured blahaj leans more Anarchist or liberal than anything, at least in my experience.

I use both Hexbear.net and Lemmy.ml.

Hexbear.net is Left-Unity and anti-sectarian, there are lots of MLs and Anarchists there alike.

Lemmy.ml is admin’d by MLs, but has Anarchists in the moderators as well. Technically Lemmy.ml does not take a firm stance politically overall, but by virtue of the makeup of the moderators and admins it leans heavily socialist.

Speaking of Marxism-Leninism, I made an introductory guide to Marxism-Leninism in case anyone is interested. With the aftermath of the US election, now is a great time to begin reading theory, as it helps us analyze our current struggles and how we can move beyond them. Open for feedback!

Some instances like Hexbear.net have general megathreads where people rant under spoiler tags like this:

Lemmy isn’t pushing political content, Lemmy users tend to be very politically charged, thus the content reflects that.

Oops, all platitudes!

It is for me, I use an account on Lemmy.ml for general browsing (and correcting misconceptions about Marxism, if I’m being honest), and a Hexbear.net account I pretty much only browse locally if I just want to relax and not have to worry about getting into an argument.

The Steam Deck fixed this for me, the ability to just turn it on and start playing makes a huge difference!

An imagined, hypothetical base is not a real, existing base, and thus it can’t project the superstructure but be a part of an existing superstructure. That’s why the existing base helps distort it and even coopt it.

All of these radical restructurings of society were based on gradual buildup until catalyst points shifted the dominant Mode of Production. By analyzing Capitalism, a decentralized market economy that necessarily gravitates towards centralization in Monopolist Syndicates, we can predict that Socialism is the next step. Marx is correct.

The admins and moderators are Communists, so I doubt it, but they can feel free to let me know if I’m going too far and need to cut back a bit. I’ll act accordingly.

Nice! Feel free to add feedback in the comments or ask any questions you like!

Guess I can stop worrying about job security for the forseeable future
