Technically speaking, PS is left wing, even though they are centrists on their policies.

But between them and the PSD, or even worse, the PCP, who are undoubtedly left wing, pick your poison.

There's the Portuguese government, mostly left wing for a long time and they've plunged us into an economical crisis and are ready to do it again. But they still are in power because the old folk doesn't want to vote for anything they haven't for the past century.

According to the school of thought I follow, every individual on a society has a direct say on everything discussed. Rules, or laws, are defined through a consensus between every individual. If a single individual disagrees, provided they present valid arguments, then the rule must be expanded in a way everyone agrees with it.

On this society, everyone's basic needs are a core right that cannot be taken or restricted in any way, shape or form. That includes, but not restricted to, proper housing, including electricity and Internet, food and water infrastructure, education and healthcare. That explains the "to each according to their needs" part partially.
Having their needs, therefore their survival ensured, individuals can dedicate themselves to the field they prefer, ensuring no-one is stuck on a job they hate, they can at any point change, and society as a whole benefits from this liberty. Of course there are some fields that individuals with some kinds of disabilities physically cannot work on normally, but there can be jobs that are adapted to their condition, if possible. That covers the "from each according to their ability".

Those two statements allow for an economical reform. The basic needs of an individual are fulfilled from the get-go, but if they desire some other commodities, they can work for them. Money, if needed at all, would only be needed for those commodities, while favoring trading between individuals. Again, society as a whole would determine how much a product would be worth comparatively to others, creating something more akin to a measuring scale of worth rather than a currency.

Well that's one way to start the day. This deserves a drink! Now where did I put the bleach?.

WIth some differences, but yes.

Anarchism. Not the radical burn-the-world-to-ashes kind but rather the kind where power is given to the individuals as a whole and every one of them directly decides how society is shaped. A society with no authority that can turn to tyranny and where everyone's needs are satisfied and everyone contributes on the field they are best on (to each according to their needs, from each according to their ability).

Alright. I'll bring the watermelons. Make sure he can't see us!

I will not fight you. Usually Heinz has the tastiest beans, gives a great flavor to the water.

If I could, you can bet your ass I would.

If I knew how to mod, I would replace all pronouns with adverbs just for the memes. And if that still pissed people off, time for the big guns: verbs.

It was on a relatively isolated part of Nigeria, but it was a somewhat modern village. Since then I've left the continent and haven't looked back, but last time I checked, the place was left in ruins.

There is a mobile app called Artemis that works well, and has recently opened it's beta to the public, go check it out at @ArtemisApp.

So, a few years back, probably a bit more than a decade, there was one hell of a conflict on the village I lived, with gangs every corner and tensions rising. The police didn't do shit and crime was through the roof. One day, one of the gang leaders was murdered and a whole war between the gangs developed. And instead of fucking helping, the government decided to isolate the place, no one in and no one out, fuck the civilians. A week into this war, explosives were used to destroy buildings and spread chaos, both from the gangs and military alike. Me and my family hid wherever we could, but it was never enough to be safe for a long period of time. Three of my family members died during the first week, trying to find food. Then the military decided to make an assault with everything they had and raided the entire place. Me, and everyone else, ran for our lives or hid on any building they could. I hid on a small house, but it was not built using the best of materials, and it collapsed over me due to a bomb detonating nearby. I woke up on a hospital about a month later with a broken leg.

What in the name of fuck did I just watch lol

Then there's KBin, which communicates with both.

How can't you see it, it's right there!

Now where have I left my sub-atomic violin?...

I think many of the scientists weren't Nazis, but rather forced to work for the Nazis, fearing for their and their family's lives. I could be wrong though, it has been a while since I've investigated that matter.

You can always build your own engine, if you think you can do better. Creating a game engine like Unreal or Unity is anything but an easy task, and they should get renumerated for that work. However, a more sensible pricing model than the shitshow Unity did is Unreal's: The first $1m in revenue is yours, after that, a constant 5% fee. Sounds reasonable to me.

The terms can say that your firstborn shall be sacrificed to an Eldritch Deity by accepting them, but that doesn't mean it's enforceable.
