I took it out of the meme to avoid seeming cluttered, but I must mention that they don’t just want USian corporations to have the monopoly. Renewables are at odds with capitalism and capitalists know oil is more lucrative than less labor intensive alternatives. Ted Reese makes a strong explanation for the lack of adoption of hemp and solar in SoE.

Before: renewables are growing too slow and will never be viable, we just can’t transition away from fossil fuels.

Now: stop, china! That’s too much renewable energy how are we supposed to keep our own unsustainable markets alive.

This Existential Comics-like sketch popped into my brain while I was reading Capital. I'm not well-read enough to make their personalities and language very accurate, but I tried to get their ideas right.

Engels, Marx, Hegel, Descartes, and Spinoza are sitting together at table.

Engels: Thank you for coming to this meeting of enlightenment dialecticians. Today the topic of discussion will be “free will.” Does anyone want to start?

Descartes: Well, obviously we have free will because God is good, and he gave it to us. God created us and left us the world so that we could affect the world in ways that would decide whether we go to heaven.

Hegel: I agree to an extent, our free wills move forward history by making rational arguments advancing the world spirit. That does not mean we are just souls doing whatever we want. We pick rational choices in line with the dominant thinking of our society.

Marx: Religion may comfort people, but there is no god to give free will. Hegel’s sort of on track, but the limits on freedom are material not ideal. People have material conditions that greatly limit the choices they can make, but the masses ultimate move history forward, not simply ideas.

Descartes: What do you mean there’s no God? I literally proved it in my fifth meditation!

Marx: No, you didn’t, you idealist fool! There are no non-material things and nothing can be proved by pure reason.

Spinoza: I agree with Marx. We are all part of the one material world. However, that has implications for your argument too Karl. Our minds are material too, and therefore our actions are a result not only of outside conditions, but also the material that makes up our minds is also a part of God. Thus, we are ourselves nature acting out deterministically, and free will is an illusion.

Descartes: What God are you talking about?!

Engels: Ignoring Descartes, You are not wrong, though the wills of humanity still move forward history toward communism regardless of if they are free.

Spinoza: True enough.

Hegel: What do you mean forward to communism? I live in the end of history. There is nothing beyond constitutional monarchy.

Marx: You bourgeois idealist bastard!

Marx gets out of his seat and goes to flip Hegel on his head.

Engels: That’s enough everyone. He mutters under his breath. I should’ve picked a different topic.

Deep prolewiki/Lemmygrad lore.

TLDR: some Hoxhist who spent a lot of time trying to bother us.

“Genocide kinda bad, but don’t be mean to the genociders. If you make tunnels or throw a rock you are infinitely eviler.”

Hamas is just like the original “Indian savages” who “unprovokedly attacked settlements.” “Terrorist” is a slur.

“Do you support Hamas?” Is an insanely biased question which should not have been chosen considering Hamas is not the only liberation organizations, Israel’s war is on the Palestinian people as a whole, not just Hamas, and most people probably support Palestine but have been agressively propagandized to hate those “terrorists.” Nonetheless, glad to see my generation is so based.

The reality is there are a lot of usufferable anarchists (especially online) who refuse to engage with real theory or history. I have all respect for people like you who critically support AES but maintain a different ideology. I and some others on here do try to make clear the difference between pop anarchists who hate China because they’re told to despite “being against all authority” and your time. Yes, some here go too far with it, and I do not agree, but I see where they are coming from.

the shared story of America

Indigenous heroes are not and would not want to be part of your colonizer history. It’s more offensive to call them “American” than to not honor them with a holiday.

I was saying this recently. For the test of whether you are an anti-imperialist leftist the only real questions need to be “Russia or NATO” and “Israel or Palestine.”

AOC is AOC for zoomers, Greta doesn’t have any power and there’s still some hope for her.
