And what people don't understand about degrowth is that it's about stopping socially-unnecessary production, not limiting all production

"sexual community service"

The whole thought process of seeing sex in terms of provider and pursuer is, in fact, the capitalist thought process, and not at all in line with what sex will look like under communism
The line between "pursuer" and "provider" will vanish alongside the patriarchy and instead will appear merely as two people being compatible.
So, no, it's not going to be communist glory holes, but instead communist kink clubs

I got this from another leftist Discord

 

And to add what is imo a point that should have been decided upon years ago:

SW abolitionists do not want to take away anyone's ability or means to hook up. We just want everyone's living standards to be met so they do not need to have sex to have those standards met.

What I'm talking about here is how the commodity form can be abolished in a world where time remains finite. With things like computers, innovations in technology can make computers theoretically post-scarce, but with things like voice lines, VAs only have a limited amount of time, so they cannot create literally every voice line known to existence.

What I'm talking about more is that how do comrades envision a society where the commodity form has withered away due to post-scarcity while also acknowledging that people's time will remain scarce.

Circuses, yes. Zoos, not ban, but strictly regulate. There do exist many zoos who hold animals that would not survive in the wild, as well as zoos that are conserving species that are extinct in the wild. There are also unethical zoos that treat the animals as spectacles for humans.

 

So, this has come up with regards of VAs and hearing your favorite character say your voicelines. How do communists address the fact that time will remain scarce under communism and that VAs are entitled to a life?

Honestly, I don't really mind women making jokes about men, men have done much worse (I say this as a man)

Meanwhile, the US puppet regime that has occupied my country's capital since '89 is still pointing at Chernobyl

They may exist, or they may not exist. Given the science we currently have, I doubt the existence of an interstellar or even interplanetary civilization anytime soon.

Protag is in literal Nazi uniform (minus the swastika cuz it's a dogwhistle)
Waiting for a librul to invoke Godwin's Law just because I call Nazis Nazis

 

Why do anti-imperialist movements in the Global South tend to see queer folk as enemies rather than fellow oppressed people? (Not saying all are like that, but why don't we see that many radically pro-queer movements in the Global South)

 

So, after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Taliban immediately overthrew the IR. Do people in Afghanistan actually support the IE? And what about the women? What about Malala Yousafzai's testimonies?

 

I know that nuclear can replace traditional fuel in most cases, but what about transportation? Currently, aviation requires jet fuel, which comes from oil reserves that will eventually be depleted. How will post-scarcity transportation look?

 
 

So, I just came across this picture from the GDR showing what the Volkspolizei called "negative-decadent youth". This was a major blunder on the part of the GDR, as it attributed any and all youth subculture to reactionary influence. Communist youth groups in socialist countries can and should incorporate pre-existing subcultures instead of trying to replace them. So, yes, I am arguing that a Komsomol Furry Club should exist "But the furry fandom has bourgeois elements!" Yes, that is currently the case, but you can stamp these bourgeois element out without redefining what the furry fandom is. In fact, I'd argue it is these bourgeois elements, such as squabbles over intellectual property, that are holding the furry fandom back. The problem here is that communist youth groups, both past and present, have always been headed by people 1+ generation removed from the current trends. While the FDJ had an age cap at I think 35, there are still 15 years between a 30-year-old leader and a 15-year-old standard member. China's gotta be one of the worst offenders with this. The current first sec of the CYLC, Ah Dong, is in his 60s.

 

EU: rescues a kitten

America: The Democrats rescue a kitten (from a Democrat paper) The Republicans rescue a kitten (from a Republican paper)

China: China rescues a kitten, but at what cost?

Russia: Russia kidnaps a Ukrainian kitten and brings it to a facility in Russia (forgets to mention this facility is a vet)

DPRK: North Korean propaganda shows Kim Jong Un rescuing a kitten. Whether that is factual or not is still up for debate.

 

I have griped about your changes to themes and I will continue to gripe like a curmudgeon about them. You took away the sharp corners that are the reason why I am using i386 theme. Plz give them back!

 

Self-explanatory

 

Like if I look at places like Weibo it doesn't seem like the pre-corpo net at all.
