I suppose yeah I understand what you mean. Especially in the US there is a lot of political tribalism and extreme polarisation, and honestly it has one of the most extreme cases of anticommunist propaganda where something as basic as free healthcare will be seen as "evil communism". Regarding your article, go for it. Clearly you identified some kind of issue that needs addressing and that article you want to make is your reaction to it. What I am trying to say is that the fact that you even want to make the article is already its justification :)
Also slightly unrelated but this reminds me of "radical centrism" where you basically take any extreme idea that sounds good no matter what side its from, be it communism or nazism.
Even the most socialist countries usually have the idea of “my bed”, “my house”, etc. There’s still some form of ownership, and market driven prices>
You are mistaking "private property" and "personal property". Socialism has nothing to do with personal property, such as your personal posessions that you actually use like your house, toothbrush, car whatever. Socialism wants to abolish private property, aka private ownership of the means of productions, like factories, schools, public transport and etc. As a CEO of a bus company might not necessarily even use it, it is used by the commons therefore it should be owned by the commons; your toothbrush is not used by the commons.
I don't think any socialist is making a big deal about socialism just "because it's socialism", nor any ideology to be honest. People first look at what that ideology entails, and then make judgements about it. A lot of people nowadays are seeing the contradictions of capitalism and see no future under it and crave some kind of alternative, however no current neoliberal, nor social democrat movement is giving an answer to the contradictions people see. Socialism however directly answers and explains the contradictions through marxist class dynamics.
And I dont get your point about labels. Labels are useful abstractions to summarise schools of thought. It is easier to say "I am a socialist" than to say "I believe in....:" and then just repeat the entire volume of das kapital.
I am active in a socialist organisation in the UK called "socialist appeal". We are not so large as of now but that is to be expected as society still needs time to come to conclusions in large numbers. However, we have almost doubled in the last year which is great to see! Why am I doing this? A solarpunk future is impossible under capitalism so it is important to be actively partake in overthrowing it :)
I have enhancer for youtube extension for firefox and I get to just cross it off
Now that the weather is getting colder I am looking for some warm thermal socks and some kind of warm jumper/sweater. Any recommendations in the UK? preferably a physical shop I can go to to try these things on.
Sadly I dont know anyone there ahaha. But you're right, its the reason I asked. It seems like yall would make sense to cooperate, and we need more cooperation in this world :)
Tbh this is not much of a suggestion but a question. Are yall in any way related to sunbeam city?
In the UK we have 3 main socialist groups, The socialist party, Socialist workers party, and socialist appeal. I keep researching all of these and all of them have some kind of allegations or controversy within their leadership. Makes it very hard to decide which one is worth joining, if any at all?
Thoughts?
Where would I go about getting one in the UK? I live in a flat so I dont have a garden to grow one
Hello all! Do you recommend any eco friendly loofah alternatives, or anything really to scrub your body in the shower with. The fact that most loofahs are made from unrecyclable plastic concerns me.
Did we both watch the same youtube video from that channel that only has 1 video? ahaha
Hello all!
On my android phone I have basically been using google keep to store my notes. Do yall recommend any FOSS alternatives? Preferably one that has a desktop version that can be synced.
Yeah I definitely support the idea of integration with Jabber
Oh shit I will actually check that out
Thanks man! Your comment is very much appreciated. Hopefully the more exposure and publicity open source music has the more it will catch on

Hello everyone!
I am a tracker musician who makes 8 bit chiptunes/keygen music. I recently released an album with a psychedelic twist which is completely free to download, copyright free and open source! Check it out and lemme know what you think.
I'm hoping the idea of open source music takes off, as tinkering in other people's music is how I learnt how to make music myself.
If you want to support me financially my patreon is in the description <3

Yeah I defo agree, so much of how I learnt to create music was from tinkering in other people's music. Do you know if there is any fedi site or forum that specifies in open source music?

Hello Everyone! I make chiptunes on trackers which are quite famous for "keygen music" associated with software piracy. My philosophy with the music I make is that all my tracks can be downloaded for free, are copyright free, and most importantly: its source files can be accessed.
The last bit is something I dont see too much of in the music communities (correct me if I am wrong). I would definitely like to see this more popularised perhaps making something akin to "FOSS Music". Under all of my tracks I put a mediafire link to .xm file. I think this would be incredibly useful to creators as there many times where I hear a song and just love a specific instrument or sample they used and would like to use it in my own music.
Thoughts?
