Consent is term that refers to the exercise of free will, which is an idealist concept. No one consented to being born, so no one fully consents to anything else that happens either.

That’d be Engels though

Got a full pound of the blue stuff.

Not insinuating that’s a good thing, especially given that the democratic party at the time was infested with racists.

Proletarianization is the transformation of members of a society into proletarians. You seem to be implying that you think modern Russia has a substantial portion of its population in the peasantry, which is not my understanding. Urban industrial proletarians are not the only proletarians.

Couch commies?

That site tried to get my clipboard contents wtf

It was WAY less anti-communist than I’m used to. I felt like it acknowledged the anti-communist bent of many characters and it distorted Marxism somewhat, but on the whole? I felt like I was watching the same movie liberals were watching, and that’s rare. The most anti-communist characters in the movie were political enemies of the protagonist and I feel like the sense of unease they invoked was intentional on the part of the director. It felt like Nolan understood that Franco and the white army were fascists, and that the audience was meant at times to be cheering for people who had held membership in the Communist party. It could have been way worse.

You caught me being sneaky. Yeah, I’m a marxist redpiller as part of my militant materialism but I don’t have the bandwidth to prosecute struggle sessions on it yet

Romanticists: You can’t just apply material analysis to something as sacred as love!

Materialists: observe.

Utilitarianism isn’t an analytical framework, it’s just a common sense framing of the objective of normative ethics. Do what results in the best world. I think Che would agree with Singer’s main points, and if Singer had a correct understanding of reality, he’d advocate everyone be like Che.

I’m an antitheist in no small part to prevent this type of person from wielding power.

TLDR: the real CPC propaganda was the harmonious society we made along the way.

Egoism is the only internally consistent ideology that isn’t Marxism, more Stirner memes!

The Martian is canonically a prequel to The Expanse
