Yeah. You are right. Capitalists do their best to make us believe that there is no hope of any better system even though they can't stop creating their own gravediggers. Heck, USA had near total monopoly on power in the post-Soviet era and they managed to fuck it up.
But as you said, technology seems "magical" in a way. It's hard for me to remember that it isn't.
Low key sad that I'll never be able to learn every language on this planet. So many cultures, so little time.
I'm not well-read on this topic, so take this with a grain of salt. Another comrade might give a better answer.
The answer is no. Lenin wrote that Imperialism is a highly developed phase of Capitalism ("highest state" is a bad translation). Neo-colonialism is defined by Kwame Nkrumah as the following
The essence of neo-colonialism is that the State which is subject to it is, in theory, independent and has all the outward trappings of international sovereignty. In reality its economic system and thus its political policy is directed from outside.
if you want to read more, read both Lenin's Imperialism: the Highest State of Capitalism and Kwame Nkrumah's Neo-Colonialism, the Last Stage of Imperialism
Nkrumah takes an African perspective on this issue. So I believe it's important to study the historical context since Africa suffered from both regular colonialism and neo-colonialism.
Aight, just a honest question: are we fucked?
Not exaggerating. I never thought that the Internet would be so entrenched in US MIC. Genuinely felt chills from this. I mean, how do you even fight this? I am optimistic about the future and I know that this isn't an invincible enemy but I don't know how a future revolution would happen under so much surveillance.
Physical disks were one of the reasons why Playstation 2 was the most popular console ever. This decision is betrayal.
Comrade, I'm sorry that you've suffered so much. I'm also happy that you're able to get away from them. You will get your peace, that I'm sure.
That sucks. Here in Brazil there was a lot of shit that happened against the Indigenous people, but it was mostly concentrated on the coastline up to the 1940s and there isn't a lot of cultural bias towards genocide ( some massacres unfortunately happened and nobody got punished).
Still, the "pity" exists here as well. It's hard to describe it.
Also, I hope you got some peace after school.
I can only imagine the shock of learning Native American History.
I'm not even USian, but I was genuinely horrified after learning its history by the Communist perspective.
Like damn, I thought that it was a regular country with a rough economy, but it is literally unredeemable from its inception to today.
On a more positive note, Native American's endurance is also inspiring. Hope I can meet one one day. May Turtle Island be free someday.
No problems!
Also, whenever you install a font, you need to restart Word and other programs if they are open during the installation.
Agave, find v38 (or the latest version) and download the .TTF files.
To install a TTF file, you just need to double click it. Windows will open a window and you'll just need to click "install".
For Sarasa, you need to download the right font since there are so many. You need to go into the Single Family TTF package and choose the "Mono" Zip file. Hinting basically means that the letters are easier to read (it's math).
DO NOT download any TTC files. They can't be installed normally like we did with Agave.
Then, unpack the zip file into a folder and choose a Mono font that has the right CJK characters (since Japanese and Chinese have different appearances for characters). If you want Chinese, I think you'll have to so find all TTF fonts in the folder that have SC (for simplified Chinese) next to the name.
mfw when I'm bout to bring 1 billion people to greatness.
Maybe it's spectacle. Some guys harm their own health in order to get more views, including but not exclusive to raw meat eaters.
I'm sure that most of the audience isn't gonna adopt a raw meat diet, but watching someone rant about dietary conspiracies or eating garbage is part of their entertainment. I think it's like mukbangs.
tldr: If it attracts views and doesn't harm bourgeois profits, it will be done. If it draws attention away from class war and into culture "war", it will be done.
