Trump has said he would tap the billionare Elon Musk as the hatchet man to lead his proposed government commission on “efficiency” in government.

Remember how half of Trump’s first-term cabinet ended up falling out and becoming bitter enemies with him?

C’moooooon, cycle of fate!

You’re thinking of bigotry. White people don’t experience systematically unfavorable outcomes from the perception of their skin color.

The difference between the right word and the almost-right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.

I wonder what AI-generated Thai script looks like, whether it end up resembling Latin script a bit more, or something else.

What does Microsoft Word give you that OpenOffice Writer or LibreOffice Writer don’t?

What are you referring to when you say “capitalism”?

Are you talking about the dominant economic paradigm of the Enlightenment through to the present day, characterized by companies with private and fully transferrable ownership, named after the concept of “capital gains”, embodying the distinction between land and labor and capital and entrepreneurship, and originally pioneered by the Dutch East India Company (and also the British one)?

Or are you talking about a more vague pattern of human relations that merely involves exchange between two private parties that is mediated by some sort of ruleset?

That sounds bland, I like the idea of council communism better.

How do you say “council communism” in Russian?

It would have been on a state-by-state basis, which is what we’re coming dangerously close to anyway.

We don’t go around campaigning specifically to discourage people from voting. Our project is to get people to see beyond the seesaw spectacle.

When someone offers you two poor options, the right thing to do is to create a better option, even if you take the less bad option in the short run. Voting a Democrat into office and then congratulating ourselves on doing it is how progress slips and how we lose sight of what’s needed.

We had a user who would uncritically support Russia and Operation Z. A “Z poster”, if you will. They were banned on several accounts and no one really missed them.

Some of us tepidly support the CPRF, which is largely controlled opposition. We recognize that counting since 2014, there’s a lot of propaganda, civilian strikes, and land mines coming from both sides. Most of us favor an immediate armistice along the present LOC that follows pretty closely a “dividing line” for the plurality ethnicity as evidenced by the past 30 years of linguistic, electoral, and poling data. And we favor quick peace as opposed to continued hostility that likely will go nowhere.

It sucks that Ukraine’s self-determination is being jeopardized by Russia. It sucks that Luhansk’s self-determination is being jeopardized by Ukraine. It sucks that there’s a geopolitical standoff between the two strongest military powers that overlays this. It sucks that the only imaginable ruling party in Russia is a reactionary capitalist one that was ushered in by Clinton’s intervention. And it sucks that they’re all probably just going to die in a field to resolve it, and make the situation in Bosnia look like a vacation resort in comparison.

There is a silver lining in that we are seeing a great power struggle to subjugate its neighbor, and also in that the wearing down of NATO and Russia allows the less belligerent, more progressive, emerging superpower to have more sway in the world. Some might say that makes it “worth it” but I certainly don’t.

As an anarchist-communist, to me they’re pretty darn close.

Abolish capitalism, smash the State.

I have an idea of what a state is, but what’s a “soviet”? That’s not an English word.

What does “soviet” mean in Russian?
