Until we address what led us to capitalism we will never see a better world.

Time? Reality? Science? Humans? Feudalism? Like wtf are you going to address?

You title says whonix, but the text mentions QubesOS. Which one? This distinction is very important.

Edit: in QubesOS the networking is handled by the sys-net qube. If the networking icon does not show up in the tray make sure the sys-net qube is started. If it is, check what programs are available for the sys-net qube in the start menu (hopefully some networking software is available. But I dont have QubesOS in front of me so I cannot check) otherwise try and start a terminal in sys-net and run the command nmtui

I'm not even joking. I do not have a good enough understanding of Marxism to tell if you are correct, nor to [do anything] with TropicalDingdong's arguments.

No one has swayed or convinced me cuz I'm a liberal.

Finding good books is can be difficult, so if you want to, you could make another list with books that could be read after this one.

You got featured on hexbear! It shows up on all.

The old post has been updated, and then copy pasted here.

Reactionary shit in anti-communism? Classic.

It's almost as if Cowbee responded to you ~2 minutes after OP and therefore was in here and could upvote just 10 seconds after OP made their comment.

No source?

There is likely already something that will work for you:

On windows, holding alt and typing on a numeric keypad 8800 should give you ≠

With ibus or fctix5 on Linux, or without those two in certain programs (such as Firefox), ctrl+shift+u then typing 2260 should also give it.

With hex code input turned on in mac os holding down option and typing 2260

You reject materialism, then ask for a materialist (science is materialist, it is the measuring and understanding of mater) proof of materialism. Nonsense.

Yes, the proletariat dictating how things are to be, but that doesn't mean it isn't democratic. DotP is scary when you simply read "dictatorship", but if you think about it, dictatorship of the vast majority of people is not as scary.

The Greek city-state has been cited time and again by historians as the birthplace of democracy. And yet, on reading the Encyclopedia Britannica, we find that in fact this was a democracy only for a “charmed circle of the privileged,” while the slaves, who did the work of the community, “had no voice whatever in the making of the laws under which they toiled.”
The classical example of democracy was, then, a democracy only for certain people. For others, for those who did the hard work of the community, it was a dictatorship. At the very birthplace of democracy itself we find that democracy and dictatorship went hand in hand as two aspects of the same political system. To refer to the “democracy” of the Greek city-state without saying for whom this democracy existed is misleading. To describe the democracy of the Greek city-state without pointing out that it could only exist as a result of the toil of the slaves who “had no political and hardly any civil rights” falsifies the real history of the origin of democracy.
Democracy, then, from its origin, has not precluded the simultaneous existence of dictatorship. The essential question which must be asked, when social systems appear to include elements both of democracy and dictatorship, is, “for whom is there democracy?” and “over whom is there a dictatorship?”

Soviet Democracy, Introduction

The dot is just in the center of the country.

No. This coment is anti semetic. Conflating Zionism with Judaism is antisemitic.

The left of the US overtone window is very much right wing.

Yes. Click on the multi colored pentagon on the post and it will take you to the posters original instance.

Not "most recently" on those two, that's been a thing since (at least) 1948.
