Follow the trends. People didn't stop wanting rights, Capitalism exists in constant decay as it grows, eroding worker rights due to outsized Capitslist power.
You can only stop Capitalism from eating its leash if you stop time, as long as systems remain in motion they will trend in natural directions, for Capitalism that is centralization.

Maintaining decentralization just allows for more centralization as markets coalesce into monopolist syndicates, better to centralize, make public property, and democratize.

Fascism is Capitalism in decline. Masculinity is a recognized part of fascism, but fascism is rooted in Capitalist decay, not in moral failures of men.

Rapid increases in the productive forces of South Korea has resulted in a progressive population of women and a hyper-reactionary population of men, the increase in productive forces was so rapid it caused a hyper-sharpening of contradictions with tradition.

You're right, Marxists don't describe a Utopia but the natural progression of the Mode of Production.

In recent years we have seen degradation of this leash.

They have a Socialist Market Economy, and married it to a Dictatorship of the Proletariat following whole-process people's democracy. One of the focuses of Xi's presidency has been anti-corruption, along with steady socialization of the private sector. Read Socialism Developed China, Not Capitalism. You have an ultra-idealist vision of Socialism that is anti-Marxist. Private property is socialized by degree, not decree!

Of course the dems or reps winning is troubling for me, the fact that you want the dems to win is troubling. We have established that you're far-right though, which is par for the course I suppose.

There are however a lot of problems with capitalism and should be held on a very short leash. Or else monopoly happens. The most effective actions to keep capitalism at bay: strong anti-trust laws, strong worker protection (this includes a lot of stuff), wealth tax.
Capitalism eats the leash, you can't avoid this.

Of course I have, I go for the "no evil" option and implore you to do so as well.

You didn't admit to being a genocide enthusiast either, but more than anything your "lesser evil" rhetoric shows that you'd goosestep with the Democrats right into Hell.

This is a country where COVID originated and with a population of 1.4 billion, yet apparently only 5,272 people have died. They're not great at telling the truth and are masters at propaganda.
They took much stronger stances against COVID than the US. Not sure what numbers they actually have, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were low.
The profits from companies are retained by the companies. Isn't the idea of socialism that the workers own the means of production and no companies profit? The Chinese economy is set up the exact opposite.
You have a fundamental misconception of what Socialism is. It isn't an ideal to be forced on a society, but the result of markets coalescing and centralizing, to be planned. Additionally, the majority of the PRC's economy is in the public sector. Private Property is abolished and absorbed by degree, not decree.
Read Socialism Developed China, Not Capitalism. I already recommended it, and you have not read it. Read it, it only takes 20 minutes.

Absolutely.

I haven't said anything of the sort, you just make up whatever strawman stances you want to attack because it's more convenient for you than confronting the fact that you support genocide.

You're a fake left winger because you spend so much time and effort supporting the fascists to win control over America.

You're not saving anybody letting the fascists take over the government of the largest military.

Eerie yet nostalgic PSX/N64 graphics, costs as much as a starb*cks drink, with a great soundtrack and killer movement mechanics. It's just so fun to *schmoooove* around. If you like Indie games, Metroidvanias, and/or 3D platformers, give it a look! Plus, it runs perfectly on Steam Deck.
These days, Indies are really popping off IMO. Gems like Animal Well are coming out all the time. What are your favorites?
Outside of Disco Elysium, of course. Looking for games with great narratives and some level of Class Consciousness. Bonus points if it plays well on Steam Deck!
Ranking by themes, enjoyment, and how well these builds are actualized, what general build is most fun in each game? An ideal case, "fun maximized" run. What are your thoughts?
I've always held the belief that music wasn't better in the past, people just have survivorship bias. What are your genuine favorite albums of the last few years? Personally, I'm loving *The Rime of Memory* by Panopticon, *Ants from Up There* by Black Country, New Road, and *Hellfire* by Black Midi.
Just what the title says. I know New Vegas is the fan favorite (and it's mine as well), but what do you personally like replaying the most? Is it Fallout 1, with its tight narrative and quick replay value? Is it 2, with its massive expansion on Fallout 1's formula? Is it 3, with the most atmospheric Wasteland to explore? Is it New Vegas, with the best roleplaying and replayability in the series? Is it Fallout 4, with the best gunplay and survival mode? What are your thoughts?
Could be wabbajack, a guide, or even a list from a YouTuber. What curated mod list is your favorite? I'm partial to Viva New Vegas and like some of the Mojave Express Guide, but lists like Lost Liberty and The Sands, which have very clear visions in mind, have been a ton of fun as well. Especially looking for any for Fallout 4, I haven't played 4 in years.
Everyone knows about Fallout 4: New Vegas, but what about the other projects? Fallout: London, Nuevo Mexico, and other large scale mods are on my radar. What's on yours?
A huge new mod looks like it's actually coming out! I know many are wary after The Frontier, but what are y'alls thoughts? Looks fun at the very least! I like the new Vault Boy stand-in, and love the river/boat setting.
