Every company should be owned by its employees
  • It's important to consider the conditions in which state ownership was deemed necessary. Countries with a starving and illiterate working class isn't as capable at a true worker owned economy as one that already has a well fed and educated working class. A true socialist society needs basic infrastructure and fulfillment of the basic needs of its people before it can be properly implemented.

    Lenin's concept of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat was intended to be a temporary system intended on rapid development and growth of the economy. It was more important to try and stop starvation and establish railroads than build worker co-ops. The mistake was when the leaders that came after decided to never cede power back to the working class.

  • Harry Potter and the Nuclear launch codes
  • This made me realize two things about Harry Potter. 1: why do the wizards not simply use magic AND guns? 2: oculus repairo is a stupid fucking spell. You're telling me there's a specific spell just for repairing glasses? That's just bad writing.

  • Joe Biden ends re-election campaign
  • So, obviously research this yourself and don't listen to some dumbass on the Internet. As I understand it, there's a difference between soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber is good for your cholesterol and blood sugar. Insoluble fiber is good for digestion. It's very likely that any fiber gummies are gonna be soluble fiber. I take the metamucil capsules for insoluble and fiber gummies for soluble.

    This has been my nerd rant.

  • Anon watches game of thrones
  • It's not about who killed the night king, it's about when he died. If the opening scene of the show is about the white walkers coming and killing everyone, that should be the final scene of the show. Imagine return of the Jedi beginning with killing off Darth Vader, the main villain that the protagonists have been fighting against the entire time, and then the rest of the movie is Luke trying to defeat Jabba. Or if frodo got the ring to Mt Doom and then they still had to defeat saruman

    They should have lost the battle in winterfell, retreated to kings landing, then had a final battle against the night King and cersei all in one major battle. It truly doesn't matter who kills the night King, just that he is the last antagonist to die since he was the first one to be introduced. It's about closing plot threads in the order that you open them.

  • Know the difference.
  • It was many factions. I'm just saying all of them were trying to have third revolutions while the people starved to death. At some point, revolutions end with a unifying government that isn't trying to murder each other. Lenin was not the villain you're painting him to be.

  • Know the difference.
  • That's not true at all. The Mensheviks wanted to cooperate with the bourgeoisie and were therefore a bad representation of socialism. Lenin formed the Bolsheviks because the Mensheviks were being stupid. The country was also fractured after the revolution and many groups of counter-revolutionary groups were trying to overthrow the barely formed government. Meanwhile famines were ravaging the country. Understanding the historical context of Russia in 1917 and the economic struggles the people were dealing with is very important to understanding why things happened the way they did. Looking at the aftermath of a revolution where everyone is vying for power and killing each other doesn't automatically make the winner of that power grab the bad guys.

  • UAW

    I work with the UAW and I'm reaching out to anyone in the St. Pete or greater Tampa Bay area about organizing your workplace. If you're unhappy with your wages, hours, or working conditions; please reach out. I would love to help organize your workplace. I've lived in Pinellas county my entire life and working class people are being priced out of their homes here. With the rising cost of living, we need to band together to demand better wages and force our employers to pay us what we're worth. Lets bring the labor movement down to St. Pete and stop job hopping from one sweat shop to another. I don't care what industry you work in, I just want to help you organize. United we bargain, divided we beg.
