Everyone talks about post-hog, but what about pre-hog?

My immediate reaction to this, is that these statements both seem to become less & less true as the American project continues onwards.

It gets sold as you only need to do it once, but it is something that needs constant attention and requires a review of those who say they follow The Revolution to make sure they still continue to do so.

Absolutely, no disagreement on that position.

I think that’s kind of true of all political programs though, to some extent. Everything is of course subject to entropy.

Those are still good channels to check out though, if you’re interested. :3

You’re not wrong, the entire point of Marxist Internationalism & Solidarity is precisely to combat that tendency. In short, this is not really a counter-argument to Marxism, precisely because the vast majority of Marxist theory (that written between the Revolutions of 1848, and the revolutions in Russia & China) are written in exactly that context, and exists to address & make the argument to workers why that’s a bad idea for them to do.

Of course getting people to accept & understand that is harder than just saying it; but the point is that this isn’t something Marxists are unawares of. If you are interested in further (digestable) info on the topic I would suggest the youtube channels Jonas Čeika - CCK Philosophy, Hakim, Yugopnik & Second Thought.

No, but it would look fundamentally different than what it does right now. One of the core premises is that culture & politics are inextricably formed out of property relations & the distribution of economic surpluses.

That’s a bit of a non-sequitur in this instance don’t you think? We’re not talking about what the name of a place is, but rather how the two countries’ citizenry feel about their respective governments.

No. I had an account when the instance was first set up, but I got banned for getting into an argument with a power-user. I wouldn’t say it’s always been like this, but this is definitely what it’s like normally.

We mutated out of a band of subreddit refugees from r/ChapoTrapHouse, but I feel like the current community doesn’t fully live up to what it used to be.

(because of course they’re incomplete as they are!)

Aren’t we though, isn’t that the whole point of having social solidarity with other people? If you don’t need anyone else, why would you ever care about the state of society?

Why wouldn’t you just be a Randian, then?

You’re a dozy septuagenarian in the sheets?

…

I suppose that would be good for napping.

Cars are very expensive, and stealing one could potentially bring destitution to those stolen from.

and like 8 sets of genitals (uncircumcised penises, circumcised penises, and various vulvae).

I feel like that’s way too specific for a non-porn game, but like, the other parts to this do clear up some confusion.
