Thanks! Interesting to see people’s perspectives.
I’m curious about the class/settler analysis, since it seemed like people didn’t quite agree on that and I’m not really sure what to think myself.
Also I don’t think I would aim to be totally self-sufficient or such a large scale, don’t know if that makes a difference. But sounds like that may not be economically feasible from one person’s experience.
lmao like actually true though
Defending against accusations of genocide? Yes. Although the phrasing can sound odd because it is largely a fabricated narrative. I think most here would support China’s actions as a deradicalization program against religious extremism, especially compared to the US solution in neighboring Afghanistan and Iraq.
Tankie is really just used as an insult against “communists I don’t like.” It’s not like it has any theoretical depth. It has an etymology related to the definition they gave you but that only has so much influence on its use.
Class war is the ongoing state of things. Like infation and rent hikes. If a revoluton broke out, of course it would be authoritarian. And the resulting state would probably take an extremely cautious siege socialism approach if it wanted to survive, so yes it would probably be authoritarian. But choosing to not be authoritarian is really just willfully ceding power to the previous ruling class who are not going to give up their position peacefully, even after a revolution. Think about the media narrative and war hawk stances against Cuba, the DPRK, the PRC. Now imagine that but applied to a newly founded socialist republic.
@kig_v2@lemmygrad.ml because they were the first to reply to this post, then replied to themselves AND @CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml replied despite their rule of not engaging in discussion here that could affect the game.
Ok, even without the femur switcheroo, how would one NOT realize it was a massive self own??? Eating a human femur to own the libs Russians, tell me who is the one that has to eat a human femur…
Interesting points, I could see the claustrophobia really becoming a problem.
What I had in mind was much smaller scale and not totally self sufficient, probably just aiming to grow a significant percentage of what we eat and share housing/land responsibilities and costs. But I’m also not the one with the know-how and there’s just been mumblings about it, not solid serious discussion.
