Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism. They stick together because they are symptoms of the same illness. I too long for the day when the U.S empire is just a distant bad memory, tavarish.

I find that when there are others involved in a project, I tend to be much more productive. I don't know if it's fear of disappointing other people, but just having people relying on me doing my part makes my not wait til the last minute

I would assume it's transmitting data by pulsing a laser. Kinda like an optical data cable.

This has to be satire

I know I'm not alone feeling like this when I try to explain to friends what communism really is, and how it could free us from exploitation and save the planet from climate catastrophe.

Haven't got time to see the entire speech, but that was a HOT intro!

This is what social democrats look like. Stinkyberg was the Prime minister of Norway representing Norways social democratic Party "the workers party". Farting socialist terminology like "solidarity" and working class struggle. It's all words for these morons. Tricking the proletariat to believe they are fighting their cause.

It's probably a mix of many different views, but there's probably a lot of Marxist leninists here. Me included.

Very few people are totally against working in general, it's more that they're against the current system of work/employment.

Marxism is in large a criticism of the employer employees relation. Or capitalist proletariat relation as it would be called in marxist terms. The critique is in in short terms pointing out the the fact that the workers themselves don't own the means of production, and has to sell their labour to a capitalist, whom in turn takes the surplus value (created by the workers) for himself.

I can't possibly write all Marxist theory on the topic here, but if it seems interesting, I would recommend reading up on it, or watching videos by well informed creators. Hakim (@yaboihakim on YouTube) is a great source of information on Marxism. And the communist manifest by Karl Marx is a very short and easily available book that has a great introduction to communism.

Hope this helps. And im happy to answer if you got more questions!

So... how do I subscribe to communities on hexbear? or am I misunderstanding something here?

Believe it or not, but I actually appreciate being corrected when it's in good faith.

 

Is there an actual support for the Russian state, or is it propaganda to counter the pro-western propaganda?

I'm not very educated on this topic, so I come from a place of genuine curiosity. It just seems to me that many people here are pro Russia and anti Ukraine, and if that's the case, I would like to understand why.

In my eyes, the conflict in Ukraine bears no resemblance of class war. Of course I know of the nazi infested military groups sponsored by the Ukrainian government stationed in eastern Ukraine to kill the separatist movement. But I'm hesitant to trust any capitalist government to fight for actual people and their rights. This scepticism of course include the Russian state.

Please understand that this is my current understanding of the situation, and I struggle to get a better understanding of it. Mainstream media isn't doing me any favors in that regard, so I hope some of you guys are more educated in this topic than I am, and can point me to articles and news that depict this through a marxist lens.

Love and solidarity
