I don’t really fuck with the first, second, and third world concept but everyone I have met who would call themselves a third worldist (even jokingly) was really cool. I think I also fall into this catagory but I want to make sure I am understanding it correctly.
Reading wretched of the earth rn
It means whatever the last person told you it means. That’s how simple it is. One may call themselves a Maoist third wordlist and crochet the flags of oppressed nations on their coats all they want. Capital has the ability to subsume all critique into itself. Even those who would critique capital end up reinforcing it instead…
Can you explain in more detail, please?
I don’t really know how to simplify it more. If being anti-capitalist generates capital then capitalists will become anti-capitalist.
Judge by actions, not by appearance.
That’s perfect, thank you! Like buying Che tees at the Gap.
Which makes me wonder: if a communist group makes their own screens, screen prints some to raise money for strike funds or a comrade who is out of work due to illness, or even cover organizing or organization expenses, can we call them capitalists? I’m also thinking about that website that sells red wear.
If you don’t make profit from making t-shirts and screen prints you are not a capitalist, the moment you extract surplus value from making t-shirts and invest it towards making more that is capitalism.
“Yeah my comrade is is out of work due to illness and needs accommodations, but if we invest this money we have into making more t-shirts we can house more people later.”
This is the struggle with corruption, is it always the wrong choice? Maybe not, but continue down this path and you will fail to do good for the sake of something great.
Gotcha, thank you. Like my fine line between deep respect and admiration for Comrades Traoré, Castro, Guevara, Lenin, Sankara, and others. I literally have to check myself from hero worshipping, when I realize it’s creeping in.They are heros, but human, like us. With correct preparation, conditions, and support, anyone in these threads can be a role model – and with too much ego and too little of the aforementioned conditions, an unintentional villain.
Thanks again!
It’s a modified quote from Disco Elysium about recuperation and capitalist realism.
Thanks, I’ve not seen it.
It’s a really good game, highly recommend it. Don’t pay for it, the studio that made it got taken over by its bourgeois investors.
I’ve read about it and I wouldn’t really pay for anything, anyway. I doubt my lappie will handle it anyway, but maybe I’ll check out a stream or ask my kid about it.
It might work if you’re willing to run it at a lower resolution. It’s not an extremely visually demanding game.
Ok since it’s free today, it’s dl’ing, but we’ll see how it does with a messed up KB or USB kb in my lap. Reading the fedopedia page, maybe I won’t have to be too fast with my fingers.
I may try to see about it at some point. Thank you.
Lol i thought it was from Capitalist Realism.
