    There is a discord but its dead

    Longer-form discussion works better for these topics imo

    I can get behind that, but realistically, it seems like it would be very difficult to convince an entire country to start from scratch.

    its not impossible
    obviously the netherlands started in the 70s which is why their cities are designed so much better but even in a city as dense as paris improvement is possible

    how could socialism be incorporated into the music industry for example

    well for one every worker part of the production process would get their worth in pay. no more f***ing over extremely essential personnel, engineers, producers, etc

    that seems reasonable. are we (USA) currently in a position for everyone to make a liveable wage?

    we are more than good enough. i believe studies conducted have shown that the productive forces equivalent to every single person on earth would mean everybody would earn a $70k salary.

    that is if literally every single human got 1 equal share of the production of goods globally they would make the equivalent of $70,000 US dollars a year.

    dont quote me on this cuz i dont remember it as well but i believe just in the us it would be roughly $175k a year

    I'm actually nkrumah-toureist. I think it's the most logical ideology because it takes the universal principles of socialism and just applies them to an African setting

    yoo do u have any sekou toure pdfs? i only have "strategy & tactics" but ive been trynna find more.

    also came across these modibo keita/mali articles the other week that i have yet to read, if ur interested:

    F*** discord fr

    Much better if we talk out in the public so people can read along and we can get new members

    Secret clubs are lame

    I hate using Discord for public groups tbh. S*** just gets closed-off and becomes an echo chamber of regulars with information being locked away behind an invite/join.

    At least here people can easily ask for recs or click on the links in the thread.

    Depends on which nation tbh. But assuming you live in America then it’s a big hell no.

    It could happen in America. It'd be very, very hard, and it probably wouldn't be typical of other revolutions in the past, but it could definitely happen.

    More than likely, though, we'll probably achieve some kind of social democracy within the next century. If we're lucky. Unfortunately.

    some fukin dweeb said in a class discussion:

    "yknow prior to manifest destiny and whatnot the tribes themselves warred over and stole the land from each other for millenia"

    i said

    "True, but this is a disingenuous argument because the brutality Europeans inflicted on the tribes was no where near the level that took place in the period you’re talking about

    There was systemic enslavement and genocide which had not existed in periods prior to manifest destiny / Columbus"

    and he said

    " >the brutality Europeans inflicted on the tribes

    The Native Americans of the PNW lost approximately 90% of their population to diseases they had not previously been exposed too, which was not preventable or malicious (pg. 6). The vast majority of the conflict happened in the Midwest."

    and im just over here like

    don't evne know hwo to respond this genocide denying freak

    the entire f***ing premise of their coming over here was malicious, doesn't matter how a specific part of the population died dude. all of the land is stolen

    so i was listening to this podcast Revolutions and it goes over the russian revolution. They did some introductory stuff on marxism and a little on bakunin. I'd love to read some bakunin because a lot of his quotes seemed so intuitive and smart. Any recommendations? The only theory I've read was Pedagogy of the Oppressed.
