Question: I sometimes like to check out the modlog, but most of the time when I click on the removed comment to check the context (i.e. if it's someone screeching about tankies), I can see a reply to the deleted comment, but not what's above it. Clicking "show context" does nothing. Clicking "see all comments" and then searching on the page doesn't show the deleted comment or the reply to it. What am doing wrong?
It should have been awkward for all the countries that the Nazis invaded, but here we are
Frankly, shouldn't we abandon the whole "left-right" dichotomy? It seems false, just another obfuscation of the bourgeoisie politics. You either support the elimination of capitalism as a system (and thus class exploitation) ooor you don't. That's it. Socdems, republicans - does it matter if they all wish to retain the system as is?
transforming Ukrainian forces into combined mechanized fighting units
Mechanized units are literally the "Soviet tactics" that pentagon and the journos keep screeching about
Well it seems they are now starting to blame US and Europe for not supplying things quickly enough, and not supplying big shit from the start.
As opposed to, you know, blaming them for being dragged into the whole mess as cannon fodder to begin with
the foundations of European culture were almost all developed in Africa.
Could you elaborate on this, please?
We'd probably have to reinvent Marxism due to its dialectical materialist base
What's your impression of the people there? Troops, officers?
Very interesting news! An excellent application of new technologies, much better than using robots and AI for war. Hopefully it will further speed up the development of the rail system.
Even if I'm slightly worried about the electric engineers who used to do it before
I actually didn't know/forgot the name of the fellow, but instantly recognized some of the paintings upon looking up
Comrade Jonathan is writing a fanfic (idk if that is the correct term). You can check it out over at c/socialistworldbuilding
Which one would you personally pick? Any movie with an orchestral soundtrack, your choice
Such is life in the Zone
I'm suddenly reminded of the Stalker movie, which specifically used black and white for "outside", and full colour for the Zone
Give me a name of Polish artist and one of their works from the 19th or 20th century. Before PRL of course
Do writers count?
I think we should celebrate. Lenin appreciation thread
Okay so hear me out, please.
Tyranids, as all other "hivemind aliens" have likely been created originally as part of the Red Scare. Don't think I need to explain this one. GW took it a step further with Genestealers - who use rousing rhetoric (and mind control) to make "the masses" rise up against their oppressors, but are ultimately devoured by the swarm. They (GW) don't shy away from giving GSCs imagery very blatantly inspired by Communist art.
BUT
As always with anti-communist fiction, it is projection. And the things depicted work much better for capitalism. After all, what drives Tyranids? Hunger. That's it, just endless appetite, voracious desire to have ALL, even if it means stripping entire planets bare. No deviation from the dogma is allowed, just look at the western media and try telling me it's not a "hivemind".
And if we go to Genestealers, what are they if not an allegory for colour "revolutions"? Using sweet sounding rhetoric about brotherhood, unity and freedom they force the proletariat to weaken and destroy their society in order for the cult's foreign masters to sweep in and devour it all.
Thank you for reading.
