Always has been!

Beautiful!

Preach I got shadow banned for explaining that a water park in the DPRK was just closed for the off season not totally abandoned LOL!

i totally agree with you! https://www.marxists.org/archive/kim-jong-il/works/On-Fine-Art.pdf

From what I see it looks like you just write “Claudia De la Cruz”

Yeah bra I literally had the same kind of conversation with a comrade tonight XD, had to explain that he was being reductive by saying Stalin destroyed the USSR.

This question is phrased in an ambiguous way. Would you be pro it being dead? I know I would.

lol from what i’ve seen I have never heard from a credible source that hitler willingly took estrogen. I have heard that the English might have planned to put it in his tea. For some stupid misogynistic reason, like women can’t be murdering mega maniacs.

“But logistically that might lead them to dead-ends, such as trying to balance PvP between a European whale and a Chinese player.” naw fam just region lock the servers!

“It also means that now there will be data available to compare youth development, gambling addiction etc, between China and the West, which might hasten existing similar actions in the EU, UK and US.” When that paper comes out all the libs will say its based on junk science by an authoritarian government so the data cant be trusted.

but I totally agree with you, for our purposes it will be nice to see what the differences are.

Based! As a game dev myself, having to watch this industry fall from the small hobbyists into the hands of mega millionaire, brain broken bull shit has been very difficult. I hope he is correct but I really don’t know if American game companies will stop having microtransactions in games just because China banned them. It’s probably more likely that they just release an inferior product here in the west. It’s even possible that they dubbel down on predatory game mechanics to siphon more wealth from western audiences. But who can say.

Nice to hear that the sanctions aren’t destroying Huawei!

Ya, that’s just how Americans are, this coming from an American. All the looting of other nations goes to your head. She has probably never been asked that hard of a question before. To be honest she is probably just super alienated from reality.

So witch one of you guys is also using ProleWiki 500 times a day? I didn’t even know there was more than one communist left. /s

I exclusively use my sub page and I have the recommendations turned off.

HAHAHA, I added ‘poem’ to the title after most of these comments were made.

I’m not a fan of authorial intent… I like to make my own meaning from what people say. Anyway here is a line by line brake down.

The title is a reflection of the ‘Are we the baddies?’ meme, symbolizing the realization that capitalism causes much of the world’s suffering. ‘We are all soldiers pre-manufactured’ speaks to the idea that capitalism sows the seeds of its own down fall; that once you recognize that capitalism is full of lies, you begin to fight against it. ‘Asleep in a psychedelic liquid’ and ‘awash in false memory’ represent how we are drowning in propaganda, while ‘fractured’ refers to the division within the proletariat. ‘To one day wake full of righteous anger toward our enemy’ is about the intense anger that comes with waking up to the reality of oppression. ‘Built to hate the systems embedded within us’ reflects how capitalism has ingrained itself within us, and how hard we’ll have to work to undo that. ‘Assembled’ could refer to the masses putting bodies in spaces or to individuals being shaped from birth. ‘With a destructive lust’ speaks to our revolutionary potential, and ‘to live only in our dreams’ touches on a utopian vision of the world, as well as my personal experience with people (mostly liberals) telling me that communism works in theory but not in practice.

thank you for your interest in what I was saying.

I realize the above comment might come off as rude or dismissive, and I’m sorry to any comrades I hurt by inadequately representing this as a real question, especially Łumało. I appreciate the feedback and will strive to be clearer in the future.

I love this comment! It seems like you interpreted the poem as suggesting we’re in a simulation of capitalism. While I love where your mind is going, that wasn’t what I had in mind when writing it. Honestly, though, that could make for a great book—about communists who don’t remember or never lived through capitalism, seeking proof of how terrible it was.

Totally based in material reality—maybe I just didn’t write it well enough. Thanks for the critique. Edited: This poem is about waking up to the contradictions of capitalism.

Amazing imagination comrade!
