Whatever you criticisms of the USSR, they weren’t charging folks 25% or even 11% of their income in rent. I

No market? Is this communism?

Pretty sure this isn’t a real Fanon quote. It doesn’t sound like his writing style.

A search just reveals this meme, but no Fanon texts. I also searched a couple of his books with no results.

What Fanon work is this from?

The writing style doesn’t ‘feel’ like Fanon’s, admittedly this is entirely subjective. What isn’t subjective is when I search it, I only see other references to this meme and no references to texts.

Good thing publications like CNN, NYT, MSNBC, the Guardian etc. would never do something like this

Good luck. My camera is busted

Cool. The largest org in the US that is pro-Cuban revolution is the Democratic Socialists of America

Just spit ballin’: The TVs don’t have “yellow” cuz we don’t have the cones. TVs are built by humans for the use of other humans. Why would we design them to produce light that we don’t have the cones for?

If we all only saw black and white, we wouldn’t have developed TVs with color. If we were all blind, we wouldn’t have developed TVs at all

Edit: I think this has interesting speculative fiction implications regarding technological development, especially in scifi

I think Sharkattak is arguing for the death penalty in this case

Agreed. Generally, I don’t play high-end graphically intense games. It’d be nice to know for some games, but generally a review is useful without it

My critique of BRICS isn’t of BRICS, but some of its most enthusiastic supporters.

BRICS isn’t a military alliance or an ideological organization. It’s an economic group of countries that have diverse interests, but who all want (to varying degrees) to carve out an alternative space in the global economy (i.e. they do want their economies subject to the whims and dictates of Washington). While that’s a progressive and necessary goal vis-a-vis the Empire, it’s not a new comintern either

Solidarity, comrade

“techno feudalism” isn’t a mode of production; we live under capitalism

He doesn’t understand feudalism, capitalism, or technology

I agree. That’s a different position though than “never do electorlaism”

It depends what you mean by “work”. While he certainly didn’t see it as sufficient, Marx wasn’t categorically against involvement in electoral politics, so he must’ve seen some “work” in it.

Melancholic weed gummy

Been getting a lot of milage out of this lately
