They have a high power one for those bastards.

Does anyone actually want to be in Ohio? If something is Ohio, it’s that vague uncomfortable ugly failure feeling.

I feel that in my soul. I’m a sysadmin, however it’s mostly password resets 🥲

Played since vanilla, took a break in the middle for a while, dragon flight hit the fun of Wow really well compared to the other recent expansions. I’ll probably stick around for war within too. They learned a lot of lessons from the mess that was shadow lands.

You’re probably joking, but this is where I landed. We’re no where near ready to join a galactic community.

That’s interesting… Communism is by definition stateless and without significant hierarchy. I don’t think other Tankies would disagree with me there.

The ideological difference is in how we achieve communism. I would really suggest reading ‘What is to be Done’ by Lenin. It’s a real short read but was one of the things that sold me on Marxism-Leninism vs. regular “Communism is a neat idea”

Capitalism will sell you the “you’re your own boss, go forth an conquer” all while keeping you under their heel. There is no equality or opportunity there; but even worse is that they will worm their way into any system that does not harshly and consistently fight back against them. Ergo the need for a ‘communist’ (or rather pursuing communism) state.

That then leads into “Well how does the state go away once we’ve got communism?” That’s a whole 'nother can of worms…

Cool, face the wall lib.

That’s not even where the term originates. Come on, if you’re going to use the term at least do the 10 second Google search.

100 percent agreed. They’ll group anything too far left of them under the same name. Don’t care anymore. If they want to whine then fuck it, I’ll wear the term.

The .world libs just couldn’t help themselves but ruin our circlejerk.

Sure fuck it. I’ll Tankie. Castro is a hero. Western news knows nothing of glorious DPRK Juche, and comrade Stalin did nothing wrong.

Yes.

Maybe I’m just an old man now, but I feel like you’re overthinking it. If you feel it’s worth another try call him and take the initiative to suggest something. If not, don’t.

Don’t ask strangers what to do when you know what you want inside. My first date with my wife was us with a group of mutual friends at the zoo, then she pretty much decided I belonged to her. So I’m not really one to tell you who should pay or whatever.

Life is too damn short to overthink these things.

Nice: "Thank you for the input, I prefer to do it the way I have been, which is equally effective and works for me. If you believe it is causing issues elsewhere in our workflow we can bring it up with manager "

Less Nice: “I understand, but no thank you.”

Less nice than that: While maintaining direct eye contact, “No.”

Not nice: “Shouldn’t you be doing your job and not mine?”

Satisfying, but likely get you fired: “Fuck off.”

A: Nordic systems like that are by definition not a form of economic socialism.

B: Gonna make an assumption that you using Tankie was likely referencing some authoritarian policy and just grouping them all under ‘tankie’ as a generic insult like most .world liberals. Leninists or other ML flavors are not tankies.

I don’t necessarily agree with down voting just for the inaccuracies of A. The boring ‘tankie’ this and ‘tankie’ that from the libs is getting REAL old though. They can’t even borrow an insult correctly. I have no issues with memes and banning people for that as those people clearly have no intention of serious conversation.

It’s exhausting to the point that you were likely dismissed the moment that happened. I know it’s bad for spreading ideas and I don’t really like it. That said, explaining the real definition and real points of debate for the 100th time when really only every 10th person had an honest desire to learn/share is trying to say the least.

As an authoritarian leaning Leninists I will gladly tell you why Anarchism and Libertarian Socialism inevitably fail though if you want.

The end stage of the dialectic is that, yes. But that’s doesn’t just appear from nothing. Read state and Revolution or What is to be done.
