For example, marxist-leninists have a very different approach to the anti-capitalist fight compared to most anarchists. Another similar example would be platformists anarchists and communizers (communization theory): generally, both are communists; however, platformists stress the importance of a mass organization that would engage with dual power structures, while communizers don’t.

I think the far-left has more diversity in its political positions and its factions usually don’t get along with each other simply because their projects are incompatible. That may cause a little bit of “disorganization” but I don’t think that’s bad per se. It could be seen as a sign of critical thinking.

I don’t participate much in online debates, so I don’t know if I’ve ever convinced someone with my words. However, what I can tell you is that sometimes a person writes something interesting, and then it gets stuck in my head for some time until I have to read something about that topic, finally causing a change of opinion in me.

The capitalist system always needs a scapegoat to unify a divided society. That marginalized role has traditionally been filled by immigrants, psychiatric patients, drug users, queer people, and the like… Furthermore, these days, social subsumption by capital has been intensified, which implies that hate toward these people is fueled by some systemic actors, such as the far-right. Some people, in this context, adhere to this discourse out of the need for social cohesion and fear.

On phones, I generally find the usability worse on a browser than on an app.

I have three Lemmy clients on my phone: Blorp, Summit and Voyager. However, I mostly use Voyager. I think it’s the best app for Lemmy that I’ve tried so far. It’s the one I’m most comfortable with.

I started a book like two weeks ago and I’m certainly enjoying it so far. The book is titled “The Strong State and the Free Economy” and it was written by Werner Bonefeld.

I would say “The Possibility of an Island” by Houellebecq. I don’t recall much about the novel, but I remember that I was confused while reading it. It’s a strange book.

Here’s a summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Possibility_of_an_Island

Sometimes, a little bit of beard hair.

I use Navidrome with Feishin on GNU/Linux and it works well. Furthermore, you can also check out Soulseek (Nicotine+ on GNU/Linux).

I fucking hate breathing sounds. I can’t help it.

I think I’m going to reread ‘Thinking, Fast and Slow’ by Kahneman.

I just finished reading a book called ‘La crisis latente del Darwinismo’ by Maurício Abdalla (which would be something like ‘The Latent Crisis of Darwinism’ in English). I loved this book so much. The author, who is a philosopher, explains the incompatibilities between the theory of evolution proposed by Darwin (and Neo-Darwinism) and recent scientific discoveries. He discusses alternative theories such as those suggested by Lynn Margulis or Máximo Sandín, which move away from competition as a key factor in evolution. Abdalla mentions how Darwinism was a theory molded by the ideology of its time: liberalism.
