Thanks for sharing this article. It's more nuanced and interesting than i expected, although i have disagreements with some parts of course. Overall, it raises the question of Do we want to accept authoritarian rule and some forms of injustice, in the name of material development for the masses?
Personally, i'm strongly in the "no" camp ("freedom or death"). But this article is a somewhat fair argument for "yes".
Listen to Noam Chomsky holding forth about “left intellectuals” who try to “rise to power on the backs of mass popular movements” and “then beat the people into submission. . . . You start off as basically a Leninist who is going to be part of the Red bureaucracy. You see later that power doesn’t lie that way, and you very quickly become an ideologist of the right. . . . We’re seeing it right now in the [former] Soviet Union. The same guys who were communist thugs two years back, are now running banks and [are] enthusiastic free marketeers and praising Americans”
What's wrong with this quote? Is it not true that in much of the ex-USSR the "communist" elites have organized the privatization of resources/industry? Is that not how Putin for example came to power and helped establish the new oligarchy?
Is that not the case all the way back to Lenin, who promised communism but massacre everyone who actually practiced it (Ukraine Commune, Cronstadt..) ?
these Reds side with the poor and powerless often at great risk and sacrifice to themselves
I guess it depends on local context, but i would say it's true for some persons/networks, but definitely not true when it comes to Communist Parties. Or it may be true depending on the perceived advantages of doing so... for example the PCF in France defending independent Algeria on paper then voting for the war against independence, or denouncing State racism then mounting local militias to attack immigrant housing.
Orwell announced that a “willingness to criticize Russia and Stalin is the test of intellectual honesty
Again, what's wrong with this quote? We could say the same about the US empire, btw... I'd say someone who is not willing to criticize both is a puppet of imperial interests. In practice, Orwell witnessed this first hand when he was in a trotskyist militia during the spanish revolution: he saw the communist party seize power and massacre all opposition (anarchist/trotskyist), so i can understand where that sentiment comes from. I truly recommend reading his autobiographic Homage to Catalonia for historical context.
And the Soviet Union, along with Bulgaria, the German Democratic Republic, and Cuba provided vital assistance to national liberation movements in countries around the world, including Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress in South Africa.
That's true, but misleading. Some people's republics have done huge service to foreign populations (eg. Cuban medical support), but when it comes from the USSR it was never (that i know of) for free. Material support was in exchange of suppressing the local leftists (like Lenin/Trotsky did in USSR) in order to build a vassal state. That's for example what the USSR did during the spanish revolution, which arguably killed the revolution and led to the victory of fraquist fascism.
Instead, we maintained that, aside from the well-publicized deficiencies and injustices, there were positive features about existing communist systems that were worth preserving, that improved the lives of hundreds of millions of people in meaningful and humanizing ways.
Well that's the first fair and balanced sentence in the whole article. The author went to great lengths to say that the USSR and other people's republic were unjustly attacked, before finally recognizing that there are "injustices" to address... which was the whole point of criticizing the USSR (from a leftist perspective) the entire time.
“Western and also Third World intellectuals were attracted to the Bolshevik counterrevolution [sic] because Leninism is, after all, a doctrine that says that the radical intelligentsia have a right to take state power and to run their countries by force, and that is an idea which is rather appealing to intellectuals.”
Well that's true. Enlightened intellectuals tend to consider the people too stupid to self-organize or have an informed opinion on things. The author would do himself a great service by analyzing what he finds wrong in this quote, instead of just asserting it's plain wrong without explanations.
(Lenin) Yet he himself is repeatedly identified as an ultra-left putschist by mainstream journalists and some on the Left.
Yet again, what's wrong with this? Lenin literally came back to Russia in the middle of a revolution, organized a military putsch, and jailed/killed all opposition. Not only did he do it but he advocated for this as "vanguard" and "dictatorship of the proletariat".
Left anticommunists find any association with communist organizations to be morally unacceptable because of the “crimes of communism.” Yet many of them are themselves associated with the Democratic Party
Wow we are definitely not talking about the same "leftists". Remember the author was citing Chomsky as an example of left anti-communism. How is Chomsky any close to the Democratic Party?
the perks enjoyed by party and government elites were modest by corporate CEO standards in the West (...) Soviet leaders like Yuri Andropov and Leonid Brezhnev lived (...) in a housing project near the Kremlin set aside for government leaders. They had limousines at their disposal (like most other heads of state) and access to large dachas where they entertained visiting dignitaries.
Right on point. But how does that make such injustice acceptable? Noone is arguing that western neoliberalism is "better" than USSR State capitalism. At least noone on the left.
But a real socialism, it is argued, would be controlled by the workers themselves through direct participation instead of being run by Leninists, Stalinists, Castroites, or other ill-willed, power-hungry, bureaucratic, cabals of evil men who betray revolutions. Unfortunately, this “pure socialism” view is ahistorical and nonfalsifiable; it cannot be tested against the actualities of history.
It's a historical view. There are countless examples of such movements throughout history, except in marxist-leninist "history" because they have been entirely erased.
The armed workers would take control of production without benefit of managers, state planners, bureaucrats, or a formal military. While undeniably appealing, this worker syndicalism denies the necessities of state power. Under such an arrangement, the Nicaraguan revolution would not have lasted two months against the U.S.-sponsored counterrevolution that savaged the country
This is a fallacy! That military activities requires central planning goes mostly without doubt (though some could argue otherwise). But that does not mean that central military power should hold political power over the local population. Two historical examples:
- the Makhnovtchina held zero political power over the communes of Ukraine
- the EZLN holds to this day zero political power over the zapatistas caracoles
On the contrary, it is arguable that personal/communal autonomy is a fuel that drives people to defend the revolution with all their heart, whereas conscription or being ordered to execute your neighbors or union comrades is not exactly a good motivation...
All this is not to say that everything Stalin did was of historical necessity. The exigencies of revolutionary survival did not “make inevitable” the heartless execution of hundreds of Old Bolshevik leaders, the personality cult of a supreme leader who claimed every revolutionary gain as his own achievement, the suppression of party political life through terror, the eventual silencing of debate regarding the pace of industrialization and collectivization, the ideological regulation of all intellectual and cultural life, and the mass deportations of “suspect” nationalities.
Correct. But i find it weird not to apply the same kind of historical criticism to Lenin/Trotsky.
In fact, the capitalist restoration in Eastern Europe seriously weakened the numerous Third World liberation struggles that had received aid from the Soviet Union and brought a whole new crop of right-wing governments into existence, ones that now worked hand-in-glove with U.S. global counterrevolutionaries around the globe.
Correct.
No longer needing to convince workers that they live better than their counterparts in Russia, no longer restrained by a competing system, the corporate class is rolling back the many gains that working people have won over the years.
Correct.
Having never understood the role that existing communist powers played in tempering the worst impulses of Western capitalism, and having perceived communism as nothing but an unmitigated evil, the left anticommunists did not anticipate the losses that were to come. Some of them still don’t get it.
I somewhat agree with this interpretation. But i could also take it from another angle: Having never understood the role that perspectives of actual freedom & equality for all played in tempering the worst impulses of tyranny, and having perceived anarchism as nothing but chaos, the marxist-leninists did not anticipate the losses that were to come. Some of them still don't get it.

Now yogthos is pretty much anti-Wikipedia because they see it as a pro-US propaganda machine.

Epson boobytrapped its printers

Unfortunately there is close to zero trustworthy hardware manufacturer these days. In the DIY world there's still Virax or Festool who have a well-deserved good reputation. In the laptop/phone space there's some manufacturers making efforts like System76/Librem and a few others, but they still have no power over all the components so obsolescence (planed or not) still applies.
But in the 2D printer world it's just... mafia everywhere. Apparently print heads are remarkable high-tech that are designed around specific ink mechanical properties to handle, and there's very few people/corporations with the know-how and the budget to produce these. That's why you find an abundance of free-hardware 3D printers (a heating head is easy to manufacture) but exactly zero free-hardware 2D printer.
I personally would spend more money than i should on a free-hardware 2D printer. Printers are usually the worst pieces of hardware i have to interact with.

Negating our differences of lived experience is precisely what divides us and what enables to have divided struggles that don't threaten the oligarchy. Marxist ideology in particular is really bad in that it's a universal dogma (except for modern intersectional marxist critique).
We need to accept that we all have different experiences and make that our strength to build actual unity along our shared interests. As long as we have marxists/anarchists stay blind to gender and race oppression, it's very likely for mainstream anti-racist/anti-sexist organizing to remain blind to class issues.
There is a strong demand for class-based organizing in various "specific" struggles. Whether working-class organizations open the doors to such critiques/movements defines whether we'll be divided or not.

I recommend you read some history. Many popular uprisings have been led by women at the forefront. That organized workers movements gave them little space/autonomy (much like for non-white people) is undeniable, but to say that worker struggles were a "men's right movement" is a REALLY far stretch.
I'm not from the USA but for example there two major figures of the workers movement in late 19th century / early 20th were Emma Goldman and Lucy Parsons. That they've been mostly erased from history books tells more about who writes/distributes the books and their agenda than about a perceived lack of women in social struggles.
For example, when it comes to anarchism people usually recommend reading Kropotkin/Bakunin/Proudhon, slipping under the carpet the many theoretical contributions of women. If only to name one, read Emma Goldman ;)

Yes, that's the problem. Gun regulations were passed by Reagan specifically because the anti-imperialist Left was getting armed (see Black Panthers & others).

we should develop tech like artificial uteruses and just move unwanted baby/fetus/idk-the-terminology into these instead BUT we should also have a comprehensive social welfare program to raise ALL children/humans
Yes not happening anytime soon. The social system is a disaster and our overlords have enough wage slaves to go by. Oh and they're expanding the prison industrial complex to have even more slave work. Why would you insist on keeping fetuses alive if only to offer them a life of misery and slavery?
Over a century ago major anarchists argued that bodily autonomy and reproductive rights were essential to make sure we the lower people don't give an endless pool of cheap labor and cannon fodder to the bosses and the government. The situation has not changed since then, except that ecological conscience has grown to favor even more those neo-malthusian arguments like Emilie Lamotte had back in the day.
All in all, do what you want with your body. I'm noone to judge whether someone should have an abortion or not (besides myself obviously). There's a ton of personal context to consider that may make either decision dramatically traumatic: noone should be able to take it instead of the person directly affected.

I think the rest of the thread has good arguments on the topic, but the main idea is that regulations around sex work mostly impact sex workers and not the client. Even the criminalization of clients results in bad outcomes for the workers, so if you'd like to frame prostitution as a question of workers rights and public health, it's important to center the debate around the experiences and problems of sex workers themselves.
To paraphrase someone else, as long as money exist there will be sex work. The question is what kind of labor conditions do we want for the sex workers?

Israeli forces murder veteran journalist in raid
southerntofu 2 years ago • 100%
In France most police officers who committed abuse and sticked through the entire process are in fact promoted. There's a "meme" (not a graphical gag) about murderous police officers from northern France being relocated to sunny mediterranean parts as a thank you for abusing the population, and there's some historical truth to that.
By abusing the population, a cop fulfills their duty to the State. If they can successfully stick to their version of the story and support the police/State apparatus while under media pressure and scrutiny, they have successfully demonstrated their loyalty to the powers in place. That's why you often see cops who orchestrated massive abuse being promoted to higher ranks in the hierarchy in the next years.

I think homeschooling is the wrong answer to a real problem. Most schools are broken by design, they're conceived to teach obedience and form docile workers, not to develop personality. But homeschooling can cut you from the realities of socializing with other kids... i've certainly met a few individuals who were homeschooled and had trouble adapting to social life.
But why would a school have to be that bad? Can't we have liberatory schools where children are treated as persons not objects?

Good point, but unfortunately recycling materials is really hard processes. Most IT materials cannot be recycled (at least with current techniques), and to extract the "recyclable" materials requires considerable amounts of harmful/polluting chemicals. For example, extracting gold from electronics is a common practice in electronic landfills, but the process isn't eco-friendly.
I'm not saying extracting new resources is better for the environment, far from it. I'm just saying the situation is real bad currently.

We can! There's an entire research field of "green IT" dedicated to that. However, there is 0 practical industrial application because the industry is focused on performance, not recyclability. Recyclable computers would probably be bigger and heavier, and we may not have 4k ultra-portable devices, but i personally think the tradeoff is worthwhile.

I believe the state should interfere in economics, protect its citizens from monopolies and ruthless profit oriented tactics and provide support for those in need
I'm curious how you consider that compatible with private property. Let's take a practical example: in France there's over a million empty dwellings, and there's people sleeping on the streets. What do you consider is the most sensible course of action: let people sleep on the streets, or take over empty dwellings to rehouse everyone unconditionally?
If you believe human needs are more important than arbitrary religious beliefs like money/property then i'm afraid you are very much against the principle of private property which says that resources are "owned" by someone and only that specific person gets to decide how those resources are used.

I don't disagree, but that argument is limited. First, because someone has to be the person asking on the forums: (at least) one person will have to go to great lengths to find the answer for what is not documented in advance. Second, because you don't always have internet access to perform a search. Third, because documenting well-known quirks and patterns helps build a better understanding on how things fit together and what painpoints can be addressed as a project.
I was serious about my question. Apart from FreeBSD, do you know of a distro that comes with a comprehensive manual?

Below, a quick translation of the article: > This sunday february 27t, our friend Libre Flot [free flow] has decided to start a hunger strike while he is still imprisoned and held in isolation in the prison of Bois d'Arcy. We share a communique from him, to share widely. ## WHY I AM ON HUNGEr STRIKE For more than 14 months i have refuted this infamous and defamatory accusation of criminal/terrorist association. For more than 14 months, the DGSI [secret services] has told me i was not arrested for what they wanted me to believe, that is my involvement with the armed kurdish forces against Daech in Rojava. For more than 14 months, nothing validates the theory elaborated out of thin air by the DGSI, despite for at least 10 months being followed, tracked and under surveillance 24/24 in my vehicle, my residence, spied upon even in my own bed. For more than 14 months i understand that it's my political opinions and my participation with the kurdish forces of YPG in the struggle against Daech that they try to criminalize. For more than 14 months they accuse 7 persons, who don't even all know one another, of being a criminal association. For more than 14 months, i have answered the questions of a judge using the same insidious techniques as the DGSI: manipulation, decontextualisation, omission, and invention of words and actions in the attempt to influence answers. For more than 14 months, i endure the provocations of this same judge who, while i'm rotting in the cages of the Republic, dares to say this case is a waste of his time in the fight against terrorism. Even worse, he dares the most unacceptable insult by refering to the barbarians of the Islamic State as my « friends from Daech ». Although it's only spoken words, it's still an incredible violent act. It's inadmissible that this judge takes the right to insult me in this manner, slanders me, and spits on the memory of my comrades and friends, kurdish, arabs, assyrians, turkmen, aermanians, turks and internationals fallen in the fight against this organization. I remain to this day scandalized! For more than 14 months, this partial [biased] investigation has seen the judge, contrary to his role, only building a case against, and never in defense. He does not even consider what falls out of the pre-established scenario and only serves to validate a fake personality formed from A to Z by the DGSI, which is far from representing me and only reflects the paranoid fantasies of this political police. Thus, they always present me as « the charismatic leader » despite any non-horizontal mode of organization is contrary to my egalitarian principles. For more than 14 months, i've been imprisoned without a trial and i've faced terrible conditions: life in isolation (see my letters from March and June 2021) is considered "white torture", an inhumane or degrading treatment by several instances of human rights. For more than 14 months, i've been buried alive in an infernal and permanent solitude without anyone to talk to, just being able to contemplate the crumbling of my intellectual capacity and the degradation of my physical state, and all of that without benefiting from any psychological support. After giving under fakely-neutral pretenses some fallacious arguments to the prison administration to ensure i would remain in isolation, the judge asks for rejecting my demand to be released, just like the national anti-terrorist parquet [tribunal]. To this end, they take in almost copy/paste the report from DGSI dated February 7th 2020, the basis for all this case, whose information we don't know where they come from and whose veracity has not been demonstrated. We're entitled to wonder what use were the taps, the surveillance, the microphones, and these two years of investigation since the facts that debunk DGSI's dishonest construction are hidden. The national anti-terrorist parquet and the judge never cease to try and instill confusion and create conflation with islamic terrorists, although they know quite well i have fought against the Islamic State, for example during the liberation of Raqqa, where the attacks of November 13th [2015] had been planned. The judge pretends to fear that i inform imaginary people of my situation, despite this situation being public notably because the DGSI or the anti-terrorist parquet themselves have leaked the information from the very first day. It pretends in this manner to prevent any pressure on witnesses, victims and their families, all the while there are no witness, no victim because there is no act. This is crazy. He also mentions his fear of a coordination between the people investigated in this case, even though all these other co-accused have been freed, he has not interrogated anyone beside me since october 2021, and that i waited patiently for him to finish questioning me to push forward my request for liberation. I could be comical in other circumstances to witness the use of ordinary facts of life in a criminal case against someone such as: enjoying my right to circulate freely across France and Europe, my lifestyle, my political opinions, my sports practices, my taste for militant rap or kurdish music. The judge attacks my mom by designating her as not being a valid guarantee [that i will not flee], for the simple reason she did not prevent her 33 year-old son to join the Kurdish forces of YPG in the fight against Daech. Once again, it's my participation in this conflict that's being criminalized. They also reproach her to use encrypted apps (Whatsapp, Signal, Telegram...) like millions of people do in France. Finally, he refuses an entire bloc of all other options for guarantees (work, housing...) without having anything to criticize, despite the SPIP [prison and conditional-freedom administration] workers whose job it is, have rendered a positive opinion. How then can we understand that after asking for investigation of the possibility to free me have underlined the possibility of me wearing an electronic tag, the judge of Freedom and Detention despite this report refuses to implement it? We are many people witnessing in this case that « justice » violates its own laws and is subdued to the political agenda of the DGSI. I recently learned from the same director of detention in the prison of Bois d'Arcy, who i thank for being honest, that my imprisonment and keeping in isolation were decided from the first day by very high-ranked people and no matter what i say and no matter what he says or do, nothing would change, this is above him, the requests won't even be read and i will remain in isolation and nothing will ever change before the presidential elections [spring 2022]. Since they try to criminalize militants who fought with the Kurds against Daech, Since they use pre-trial detention in the goal of punishing political opinions, Since this case only exists for the aim of political manipulation, Since today they leave me with the only perspective of the slow destruction of my being, I am declaring i am on hunger strike since sunday february 27th 2022 at 6pm. At this time i only ask for my immediate liberation, before i can prove [in front of a tribunal] the fallacious side of this shameful accusation. Libre Flot. > Because our friend Libre Flot still rots in isolation for more than 14 months and he chose to strike back with a hunger strike, let's not leave him alone in this dirty political game.

Below, a quick translation of the article: > This sunday february 27t, our friend Libre Flot [free flow] has decided to start a hunger strike while he is still imprisoned and held in isolation in the prison of Bois d'Arcy. We share a communique from him, to share widely. ## WHY I AM ON HUNGEr STRIKE For more than 14 months i have refuted this infamous and defamatory accusation of criminal/terrorist association. For more than 14 months, the DGSI [secret services] has told me i was not arrested for what they wanted me to believe, that is my involvement with the armed kurdish forces against Daech in Rojava. For more than 14 months, nothing validates the theory elaborated out of thin air by the DGSI, despite for at least 10 months being followed, tracked and under surveillance 24/24 in my vehicle, my residence, spied upon even in my own bed. For more than 14 months i understand that it's my political opinions and my participation with the kurdish forces of YPG in the struggle against Daech that they try to criminalize. For more than 14 months they accuse 7 persons, who don't even all know one another, of being a criminal association. For more than 14 months, i have answered the questions of a judge using the same insidious techniques as the DGSI: manipulation, decontextualisation, omission, and invention of words and actions in the attempt to influence answers. For more than 14 months, i endure the provocations of this same judge who, while i'm rotting in the cages of the Republic, dares to say this case is a waste of his time in the fight against terrorism. Even worse, he dares the most unacceptable insult by refering to the barbarians of the Islamic State as my « friends from Daech ». Although it's only spoken words, it's still an incredible violent act. It's inadmissible that this judge takes the right to insult me in this manner, slanders me, and spits on the memory of my comrades and friends, kurdish, arabs, assyrians, turkmen, aermanians, turks and internationals fallen in the fight against this organization. I remain to this day scandalized! For more than 14 months, this partial [biased] investigation has seen the judge, contrary to his role, only building a case against, and never in defense. He does not even consider what falls out of the pre-established scenario and only serves to validate a fake personality formed from A to Z by the DGSI, which is far from representing me and only reflects the paranoid fantasies of this political police. Thus, they always present me as « the charismatic leader » despite any non-horizontal mode of organization is contrary to my egalitarian principles. For more than 14 months, i've been imprisoned without a trial and i've faced terrible conditions: life in isolation (see my letters from March and June 2021) is considered "white torture", an inhumane or degrading treatment by several instances of human rights. For more than 14 months, i've been buried alive in an infernal and permanent solitude without anyone to talk to, just being able to contemplate the crumbling of my intellectual capacity and the degradation of my physical state, and all of that without benefiting from any psychological support. After giving under fakely-neutral pretenses some fallacious arguments to the prison administration to ensure i would remain in isolation, the judge asks for rejecting my demand to be released, just like the national anti-terrorist parquet [tribunal]. To this end, they take in almost copy/paste the report from DGSI dated February 7th 2020, the basis for all this case, whose information we don't know where they come from and whose veracity has not been demonstrated. We're entitled to wonder what use were the taps, the surveillance, the microphones, and these two years of investigation since the facts that debunk DGSI's dishonest construction are hidden. The national anti-terrorist parquet and the judge never cease to try and instill confusion and create conflation with islamic terrorists, although they know quite well i have fought against the Islamic State, for example during the liberation of Raqqa, where the attacks of November 13th [2015] had been planned. The judge pretends to fear that i inform imaginary people of my situation, despite this situation being public notably because the DGSI or the anti-terrorist parquet themselves have leaked the information from the very first day. It pretends in this manner to prevent any pressure on witnesses, victims and their families, all the while there are no witness, no victim because there is no act. This is crazy. He also mentions his fear of a coordination between the people investigated in this case, even though all these other co-accused have been freed, he has not interrogated anyone beside me since october 2021, and that i waited patiently for him to finish questioning me to push forward my request for liberation. I could be comical in other circumstances to witness the use of ordinary facts of life in a criminal case against someone such as: enjoying my right to circulate freely across France and Europe, my lifestyle, my political opinions, my sports practices, my taste for militant rap or kurdish music. The judge attacks my mom by designating her as not being a valid guarantee [that i will not flee], for the simple reason she did not prevent her 33 year-old son to join the Kurdish forces of YPG in the fight against Daech. Once again, it's my participation in this conflict that's being criminalized. They also reproach her to use encrypted apps (Whatsapp, Signal, Telegram...) like millions of people do in France.

The updated demands: ``` So, NVIDIA, the choice is yours! Either: –Officially make current and all future drivers for all cards open source, while keeping the Verilog and chipset trade secrets... well, secret OR –Not make the drivers open source, making us release the entire silicon chip files so that everyone not only knows your driver's secrets, but also your most closely-guarded trade secrets for graphics and computer chipsets too! YOU HAVE UNTIL FRIDAY, YOU DECIDE! ``` Will this be the only way to achieve decent hardware support cross-platform? Can't wait for someone to take AMD/Intel managers hostage ;-) BTW not sure why these people are called cyber-criminals. Sounds like cyber-heroes to me... I mean i don't agree with their motivation (cryptocurrency mining) but they're doing what government regulations should have done a long time ago, which is preventing hardware manufacturers from fucking up life for everyone. (or at least they're trying)

Version longue en français: https://www.bortzmeyer.org/coupure-russie.html Several ISPs in France have started censoring rt.com via their DNS resolver. Why are they doing this? I guess officially they'll say it's because of Russian propaganda about Ukraine, and that's partially correct. But also worth pointing out is that despite *very uncritical propaganda from the regime* about what happens in Russia, RT is one of the only mass media (non-independent publication) where you can have decent news about social uproar in France (gilets jaunes, anti-police-abuse riots, etc). We haven't reached the point where posts to RT are censored on social media (where it's most popular) so i can't exactly say we have "one side" to the news yet but it's getting closer. This message is both a **fuck you** to french ISPs engaging in censorship (remember Sci-Hub?

Dear Lemmy, as you may well be aware, racial hierarchies and colonial empires are doing good in these early 2020s. In particular, in the days of the war in Ukraine, it's important to point out the fascist tendencies at play.

Some news of anti-war protests/actions internationally, as well as a statement by "Food Not Bombs" Moscow and an interview with anarchist "Committee of Resistance" in Kyev.
That's a good question, certainly not something we're taught in schools/media about nazism. I'm posting this here because although it's usually a sign for nazi propaganda ahead, i find it's a good reminder that when a politician proposes to "deport" people (such as Zemmour in France proposing to deport muslims), genocide is how this ends up in most cases. No, deportation is not more humane. Fuck all nazis, even those wearing a tie/suit and speaking on public television in the 2020s. Did lemmy know social-democracy and authoritarian communism is what gave birth to fascism as we know it? Next week in "did lemmy know", we'll talk about anti-muslim genocides in the USSR.
I don't agree with some parts of the article ("work more if you want a luxurious house") but it's a very interesting take on copyright and capitalism: > why do we have a system which will, for any reason, deny someone access to food? How unbelievably cruel is a system which will let someone starve because they cannot be productive within the terms of capitalism? > how much creativity is stifled because it cannot be expressed profitably? > Copyright is an absurd system. Ideas do not have intrinsic value. Labor has value, and goods have value. Ideas are not scarce. By making them artificially so, we sabotage the very process by which ideas are made. Copyright is illegitimate, and we can, and ought to, get rid of it.
