Recently started and it’s incredibly insightful, even just for more in-depth historical context around movements of the time period. Also chuckled that the intro mentions a couple times social-democracy being the “left-wing of the bourgeoisie/fascism”

badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Taylorism played a huge role in the Soviet union. Lenin embraced taylorism, though with less enthusiasm than other Bolsheviks, and argued that taylorism was necessary because "Russia was a bad worker" who had to be "Taught how to work".
Stalin considered taylorism combined with the revolutionary nature of the soviets "The essence of leninism".
And Gastev put Ford up there with Marx as revolutionary figures.
Not to sound too anti bolshevik here. But when you read their writings on taylorism and workers management in general, it becomes pretty obvious that pretty much just Shliapnikov of the initial bolsheviks ever had a factory job
Yeah I was confused by reading that it was embraced since it comes off at face as anti-proletariat. I’d never heard of Shliapnikov, but from a brief scan of his writing (Theses to the Ninth Party Congress “On the relations between the Russian Communist Party, the soviets, and production unions.”), seems more in line with what I’d expect from labor that’s done labor.
