I cannot believe out of all the characters this one would be picked. Maybe it is fake idk

We’re at the point where millions of people think if it’s on TV it must be good, what it is doesn’t matter. They’re illiterate, it’s just pictures and sounds on screen

I’ve seen maps being sold of this country I’m in being split into another separate region.

We’re getting sliced and diced let’s go more balkanization, every house will have it’s own government fully dependent on external powers

Otherwise we shall isolate ourselves from the masses. Unless they are conscious and willing, any kind of work that requires their participation will turn out to be a mere formality and will fail."

The Vanguard has isolated themselves from you. As per Mao’s directive. They shall return when you are ready.

Capitalism prevents Autistic people from functioning as well as they could, in our society. Should it come to an end, an era where entire concepts of such as: Neurodivergence, Disability, Disorder and so on, will change with it.

Concepts like work, labor, hardships will be completely redefined. Conditions like Autism, ADHD, Being cis, trans, what your skin color is, what shape your nose is will be just viewed as someone being born with a different set of toolset.

If these “issues” are the result of an unhealthy society, they will gradually fade out, giving everyone the best possible opportunity to experience the most amount of peace they can in life. On the flipside, should you try to accelerate the process and try to liquidate people you view lesser as yourself, if you try to move them by force, you will inevitably create more despair and suffering, an incestuous autopoietic form of re-production.

All of us are forced to walk upon this world, if you don’t like what it made you into, what it has made others into, change the world or accept the way things are. There is no 3rd path, just infinite number of lies told to escape reality.

I can’t speak for others, but I think the push for recognition, from some people, comes from the fact that a lot of us will never be able to fully transition socially and will lead two separate lives, four our entire live. And while Aarons case is not my case and I won’t speak for the dead, it is understandable from my point of view that people would wanna bring up the fat that the person may have been trans, it would be nice if I can at least get my real name on the gravestone if I can’t get it during my life.

But at the same time, a lot of us understand that we are completely irrelevant in the eyes of majority of the world so I won’t split hairs over it. I’m just trying to make sense of why people are stressing the name/gender so much and, at least in my personal opinion, it’s because a part of us would think it’s kind of neat we at least get named by our choosing. Plenty of trans people will never get called by their name anywhere outside of the internet. I haven’t and it’s been a decade.

If that article substituted China with “The World” it would be more accurate title.

And yeah they have a consumption issue, but like, wouldn’t a better solution be to guarantee jobs and reduce inequality? Why is it that the best solution these writers come up with is: Increase this number, decrease that number. Guaranteed jobs would also encourage people to pursue education rather than grinding hard for your diploma that contests with thousands, millions of other people with the same diploma, making it worthless and now you’re phd working for food delivery driver with 0 prospect of a future, of course you won’t consume or strive at all in that situation.

Just get the lowest entry job, earn enough to afford food and be happy. Of course consumption is going to be low, but the problem is more complicated than just consumption. I’m not very smart though I’m just a random online person who reads a lot of books, did the person who write that article actually read Karl Marx?

But shit’s like bad. I’ve been chatting with Netizens all over the world and there’s so many people in this position where they feel it’s pointless to compete, they just earn the bare minimum to survive and that’s it. Has anyone actually tried to approach them? Thousands of youth in their 20’s and they’ve already given up on life, this is like so frustrating. They could be turned into productive members of our society and a lot of them are quite bright and love to learn, they just end up spending the learning hours on shit like vidya games, which is fine on moderation, but like they obviously want to be good, so many of them feel ashamed of themselves, their self-esteem is just obliterated and nobody seems to understand that beating them with a stick won’t fix it, they need a healthy environment, firm, but fair.

Why can’t real life be made as exciting as a videogames that people seem to love learning about and love working towards? I guarantee there’s a way to turn all these young depressed people into powerful force for good, but people just want to call them lazy and scold them. Make the real world more fun, guarantee some sort of achievements for people who live in it, make it more exciting. I finished my education? Nice now I get to do X for sure, tried harder? Have a bonus. Instead you do all this shit and for what? Buy labubu and be happy? I am what I do and i don’t wanna be a consumer while my boss gets to live. Fuck that shit.

Amon is supposed to be a Left Wing Authoritarian. It’s pretty much impossible to get anything published if you wrote a character who wants to establish a “state” and genuinely serves the cause of common prosperity.

They have to be villains like Amon.

It’s always a struggle between the old and the news. The ones who accumulated: wealth, knowledge, experience and the ones who just started. The question is where did it come from and where should it go? Is it really worth guarding the sacred trove? Yet if you give it away too easily then you risk making people lazy, at the same time cling onto it too hard and you’re gonna spend more time on guarding your wealth than living.

At the end of the day, it’s always a class struggle.

Can I ask why is eldership favored over new blood? Both have their strengths and weaknesses.

If I am really trying to build socialism then that inherently means new recruits will learn faster than I did. Otherwise I’m doing something wrong. The pitfalls is immediately promoting new potential into leadership position, rather they should be given work tasks to demonstrate their capabilities, through practice. Incidentally, this is also the only correct way to do a “purity test” through practical application of socialism.

If they’re a socialist they’re doing good. If they’re not then they’re self destructing, also good. Once they see you’ve realized this they’ll try to get rid of you so that kind of sucks.

If you want to destroy a nation, destroy the thinking of it’s youth.

I think it would be better if you focused on seeing how you can effect things from where you stand, rather than stressing out about stuff online. Most people go on the internet to vent their frustrations or find somebody to affirm their pre-existing beliefs. It’s unlikely you’ll change anyone’s mind. Don’t end up like me who wasted precious time on online debates that end up nowhere.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there are people who know this, but they probably either don’t dare to speak, benefit from not speaking out or are purged.

My personal take on is is that for various complex reasons CPSU did not manage to establish a strong ideological core that would be able to withstand the cold war. Stalin was simply a useful too to pin all the bad things on while still maintaining the appearance of communism, until it could be overthrown altogether. Who wanted to overthrow it and who did it without thinking? Don’t know exactly, probably never will.

A single person cannot and will never in the history on the entire world do anything other than what their own body is capable of, their image, name and stories left will always be infinitely more impactful than their own work, because those stories are shared by the work of others, for their own reasons. It’s quite clear who benefits from Stalin being turned into a demonic figure, regardless of their intent their action speak for themselves. It is quintessentially anti-Marxist, anti-materialist to ever treat anything in a vacuum.

I’m going on a tangent but my biggest pet peeve kind of related to this is people throwing out the “I have no enemies…” line which is not profound at all. That kind of thinking is (one of many) reasons USSR got destroyed. There’s absolutely enemies out there who exploit you so that they don’t need to do shit themselves and you will never be able to convert them from the outside in, they have to be willing to convert themselves.

What a lib sees when they read this: “We’d like to invest in you people, but our enemy is making us build more military. Oh no…”

You can thank Neo-Liberalism and the invention of original sin, which goes as follows:

1. Human beings are inherently evil.
2. Some humans are forced to be good, for the sake of self-preservation, which means they’re still evil.
3. We need a 3rd party to govern these evils of humanity and encourage good.
4. Those who reach the top of the ladder in this evil society must be the most good, they should lead us.
5. Because they’re still evil, they will do evil when in power, it has to be rotated constantly.
6. Evil will eventually take over anyways and society will be forced to do good, to stop it.
7. The only people who want to overthrow evil are those who suffer enough under another evil’s heel.
8. All you can do is isolate yourself in a little bubble and wait for things to get worse enough.

Socialism/Communism doesn’t work, if it did it’d mean it’s our own fault the world is like this, either because we lack the knowledge of how to improve it or because we don’t wanna improve.

The hardest battle in the liberation of slaves isn’t picking up the gun, it’s not going into war… it’s picking up the shovel yourself, so that your slave doesn’t need to do all the work for you.

The right choice is the one that brings you the most satisfaction, while producing the less harm for others. A world built on the principles of a win-win cooperation.

We should work together to create such a world. I won’t step on your toes, you won’t step on mine, we’ll find common problems and resolve them. Can you think of any good reason for why anyone should stop us? There isn’t one, they’re either too scared to let go of their treats or they’re too scared to face something new.

Edit: Also for a bit of humor this is what it feels like to go through the world right now:
