You know a comment section is spicy when there's -6 new comments

Thanks for the new tagline lol, go fuck yourself "Israel" apologist

Can't wait until China starts another space race and wins, the US will still probably put a cherry on top and say they won it anyways

What a fucking self obsessed Nazi foss dictator, I hope it gets a popular Russian fork as a response. What an insult to all Russians who spent their precious time to contribute to the project for free just for this Nazi baby to call them a bot

If the mods are CIA agents I have to admit they're pretty based

There's lot to be said about it, but my bet would be that the huge skydive in material conditions following the collapse is the biggest contributing factor combined with the liberal anticommunist propaganda by the local ruling class as well as the foreign, CIA etc.

Another example is Germany, fascism is emerging today right where East Germany used to be, a socialist country that fell to the control of the capitalists and became one more western pawn to be exploited. Poor material conditions combined with a lack of a revolutionary party to provide a meaningful and organized direction for all that discontent, naturally leads to fascism through its populist strategies that pretend to fight against the status quo.

Greece has amazing anti-capitalist music, it's a shame there's a language barrier

Other than that Rage Against the Machine are classic who you probably know already, and I recently found out Dead Prez

Stop making the term "engineer" meaningless

Also this dude has no reason having a based name like "Cuban"

Holy shit guys, I just found out that the Nazis didn't just go for the Jews, I feel so betrayed

Being a doomer is as pointless with society at large as it is with your personal life. There are so so many things out of your control, some things will be positive, some will definitely be negative.

What you do control are your actions, they can't change the past but they can definitely change the future even in a minimal way.

The cybersec job market for instance might not be at its peak, but it's still way better than most jobs out there, and with enough effort and attempts you will probably find something.

With society things might not seem like they're changing much, but the world keeps on moving every single day by the individual actions of many many people. What might seem today as a farfetched dream can become a possible outcome given the right time and conditions. If no one acts today though, that necessary buildup won't be there for when the right conditions come along. Being politically active might not lead to huge changes, but by not being politically active you are making that chance zero. It's hard and exhausting to fight in such unfavorable conditions, but it's all we can do until the balance shifts.

They should be friends but they can't because being utopian usually means rejecting any necessary evils that are required in making that utopia a reality. For example, how lovely would it be that we could just convince the bourgeoisie that enough is enough and they will peacefully hand over the power to the workers, but it's common sense how that won't happen.

The distinction line between them comes down to the question: "Is it better to fail while seeking perfection or to succeed while compromising with objective reality?"

Literally

The game is more broken than the USSR

Hope it's

Real

Exactly, they completely lose touch with what made them poor in the first place where they came from and just push for neoliberal policies because they're not gonna be the ones counting pennies at the supermarket. But they "love" the country when it comes to their fun time vacations

It's always the petty bourgeois diaspora lol

No one can know than in advance, but it will also depend on what resistance fascism will find itself opposed to.

Will it find an unorganized working class where half of them expect an elected saviour and another part of them fight against fascism without fighting against capitalism and towards revolution? Or will it find an organized working class with a strong vanguard party that has the ideological preparation, the ability to reach out to them, strong and massive unions, etc?

This is not the whole part of the equation but it is one that relies mostly on us. It is our job to organize the working class and get them to unite under a common direction, and more importantly to provide them with a realistic and necessary alternative to capitalism without expecting it to arrive magically but through every day collective action. Fascism gains ground where there doesn't seem to be a viable alternative to the current system, when people have been too propagandized to ever consider a revolution as a possible alternative and there's no force saying otherwise effectively, so they fall into the populist magic solution bullshit that fascists provide in an attempt to see real change in the system.
