The UI is such a shame. Inkscape and Krita’s UI are so intuitive too

Kinda impressive tbh as irrelevant as this is, mandarin’s pretty hard to learn as a second language

In addition to Cowbee’s comment, the Prolewiki article on Socialism expands on it.

• Socialism for Beginners

• How Capitalism Robs The Developing World

• What Exactly is Liberalism? (no, it’s not about being “woke”)

• “Yeah Capitalism Is Bad… But What Can We Do?”

“Human nature” is formed by societal norms, which are in turn formed by the present mode of production and thus material reality. Humans aren’t racist by nature lmfao, such a dumb right wing assertion.

• “But What About Human Nature?” is the Dumbest Conservative Argument

Simply put, materialism — as opposed to idealism — is the idea that everything we do and experience as a society (our history, culture, politics, etc) is shaped by the material reality around us, rather than ideas.

“Material analysis” in this case therefore means analysing politics and history through this lens. And it’s a fundamental component of socialism/marxism.

Yogthos is insulting liberals because liberalism is an idealist ideology that always eventually gives way to fascism when a capitalist state is (inevitably) in decay.

This. If you actually want positive change, go out and join a socialist org to take direct action. In capitalist states — specially imperial core ones — elections are just an ad campaign that won’t bring any positive change for workers on its own.

Elections will, however, gradually shift to the far-right as long as liberals/capitalists are in power (see: overton window).

Typical liberal rejecting any shift to the left in favour of fascists.

It’s great that the LFI managed to come this far even within a liberal framework, but real change has only ever come from organizing and applying pressure from outside the capitalist system to overthrow it. This should be a signal to french comrades to start organizing for that.

This is the best “treatment” a capitalist shithole can give for mental health.

We live in a dystopia

I’d also expect there’s more and more people propagandized by capitalist media in post-Soviet states as time has passed since capitalist bastards took it over. People who have not lived under socialism or experienced the massively decreased quality of life from the privatization forced on those countries.

Though fortunately it seems like the Russian capitalists have not managed to succeed in this, with more and more people identifying with the USSR than the capitalist Russian Federation in recent years.

Hard to do that at the heart of the revolution I guess. Maybe Russian communist parties could use that to become more revolutionary, specially with Russians able to see the stark difference between Russia under capitalism and China thriving under socialism. Doubt that’ll happen while Putin is in power though.

some of them

Implying that not all communists and anarchists are FOSS-advocates

We are, for obvious reasons

I recommend you learn from real books about real life like those of Marx and Lenin, not fiction.

Socialism — the dictatorship of the working-class — is the transitional mode of production between capitalism — the dictatorship of the capitalist class — and the stateless, classless mode of production that is communism. You can’t really separate the two.

Sounds like you probably are

If you want capitalist propaganda you can go back to reddit lol

As Marx predicted a hundred years ago

It’s Linux, and KDE at that. Yes you can customize pretty much everything.
