So far I only have 2 channels, the tankie playlist for music and ExotiqueMatter Archive where I post random videos scavenged here and there on the internet. I may make a channel for pirated series and movies since I have a lot of it. I'd also like to make my own stuff to post but I haven't come around to thinking about what kind of videos to make.

I think one of the main effect a state should have in this model is offset the negotiations in favor of the ruling class, since the point of the state is to allow the ruling class to guaranty their control over the means of productions.
For example, if workers try to occupy their employer's factory as a bargaining chip, the owner would call the bourgeoie police to chase them, taking the bargaining chip away from the workers and back to the capitalist who hereby maintain his control over the worker's jobs and consumption.
So the rulling class should be assumed to have an advantage in negotiations.
If you can find a way to quantify both classes' negotiation advantage/disadvantage through their amount of control over the means of production, and maybe find a way to have it change over time as class struggle changes the amount of control they have, maybe you could even model the effect of protests and revolutions.

This is very interesting.
I think you should try to see what happen if you take into account the influence of the state, not just the bourgeois state but try to see what happen when either classes have state power.
You should also try to account for the tendency for the rate of profit to fall as automation squeeze labor out of production.

You could simply have passing an exam/test as a requirement to be a candidate in the election, in fact I'd say most influential positions would need that. For example, it should be required for the general secretary of a communist party to have good knowledge of theory, to ensure that we could have the candidates pass an exam.

I don't think I understand how the model works.
What is R exactly and how do you get it from X_A and X_B. And what are X_A and X_B in the first place?
ExotiqueMatter 2 weeks ago • 100%
If I understand correctly the graph, there are 3 distinct regions.
The very small region at the to where R>1, that seems to imply a situation where A and B would sort of switch roles, A would own most of the capital and B would own little to no capital and would live off of their labor power.
The large middle "north-east" region where 1>R>0, where B's capital increases faster than A's. Itself made up of 3 regions, one where A does most of the labor and own little to no capital, one where A does little work despite owning little to no capital, and one where A work little and own most capital similar to the first big region.
And the bottom right corner region where R<0, where either A or B is losing capital, but I'm not sure which.

There is no better option, there is no lesser evil between the two. Both party are the same evil with a different presentation.
How is a Harris win better for Gaza? You peoples can never explain this. You take for granted that the Democrats are always less bad no matter what they do and try to force this assumption onto everyone else by trying to force discussions to start from this assumption, so that you don't have to talk about it. And whenever someone doesn't bite and insist that you showing evidence that the Dems are less bad than the Reps, you get angry, rant about Trump, try ad-hoc explanation to try to hanwave away the very bad things the Dems are openly doing and when that still doesn't work you try to handwave away every arguments against you by calling us trolls or bots or secret Trump supporters.
If you had any leg to stand on there, you obviously wouldn't be doing that. Because all you would have to do is to point out to us your evidences that the Democrats are less evil than the Republicans.
But since you don't have any, the only way for you to "win" that argument is to lash out and come up with ad-hoc explanations as to why arguments against you thesis have to be wrong by default without having to think about the arguments themselves.

Given how the Democrats' seems ok ignoring voters to their left to carter to more right wing voters, and that the convinced Democrat voters' like to pretend their party hasn't done anything wrong and totally isn't slipping more and more to the right, I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Ha yes, you can just do that. It's totally not out of reach for all the peoples who have to work 2~3 jobs at once and still can't save any money because even the basic necessities for survival are sold at extortion prices not to mention possible medical, college debt or mortgages.

You're confusing private property with personal property. While this is a very common mistake, you can't claim to have an informed opinion about communism while still making it, it's 101 level stuff.
Further, you are also making the other very common error of assuming the state is oppressive because it is like some kind of monolith somehow cut off from the rest of society as though the peoples staffing it weren't as much part of society as everyone else, this is not the case, whether a state apparatus is oppressive and against whom it is oppressive is dictated by the class character of the state, a factor that is systematically neglected by the peoples using variations of "power always corrupt" truisms to "analyze" a state.
tl;dr: you're knowledge of communism and communist theory and praxis is very surface level at best, go read some reading list from prolewiki's library, To criticize something you need to know at least the basics of it first.
It explains in details how and why the front collapse and what that means for both Russia and Ukraine.

Then in the next elections I voted democrats even though they are genociding Palestinians and trans peoples and latinos and the disabled and gay peoples because the republicans would genocide Palestinians and trans peoples and latinos and the disabled and gay peoples AND black peoples. Then in the next elections…
At least it makes a decent job of criticizing french exploitation of Africa but between the Orientalism and *muh sneaky bad Russians* I can't recommend it as a support to learn about the coups in Africa.

The vast majority of liberals who ever comment posts on lemmygrad and hexbear are of the insufferable variety while the ones who are willing to have actual conversations are a very silent faction that we see verry rarely. I think we should find a way to encourage the latter to engage more with us while keeping out the smuglords. Of course, keeping out smuglords all the while making sure that as much good faith peoples see us could prove difficult and would demand to have a strict management to make it possible given the current conditions off the lemmyverse but I think it would be worth it. One way I think we could go about it could be to make a pined megathread every week/month depending on what is the most convenient that would be meant specifically for curious liberals to come talk to us. It should have strict healthy debate rules to keep smuglords out and curb excesses from those of us who tend to be too harsh toward even good faith lib, the subjects doesn't need to be strictly political, in fact I believe that more casual conversation and memes should be encouraged to break with the more serious talk from time to time, we should also encourage varying conversation topics with more economics and political theory as our conversation with liberals tend to center around history and actuality and barely touch on other topics, which I think is kind of a shame. Of course that's just an idea I'm throwing out there and I would like everyone to give opinions and ideas below.
