Karl Marx, born on this day in 1818, was a foundational political theorist and journalist associated with the philosophy of Marxism.

Among Marx's best-known texts are the "The Communist Manifesto" and the three-volume "Das Kapital", in which he set out to define and explain the behavior of the capitalist mode of production.

Marx's political and philosophical thought have had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic and political history, and his name has been used as an adjective, a noun, and a school of social theory.

Marx's critical theories about society, economics and politics - collectively understood as Marxism - hold that human societies develop through class conflict. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production, and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable these means by selling their labor power in return for wages.

Employing a critical approach known as historical materialism, Marx concluded that, like previous socio-economic systems, capitalism produced internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system known as socialism.

Lately it been warm enough to go outside at night, which is nice since I like to star gaze. So it's nice to start to be able to do that again without getting cold.

But it makes me miss my dog more, cw: griefSince I would bring my dog outside with me, and this summer just going to be different without him. I can't help but think how easy it was to lose track of him since he was a walking void, if it wasn't for his white star on his chest, you wouldn't notice him in the dark.

and then this grief is making me think of my mom to, doesn't help it's mother day as well. I guess right now it just one of those moments where all that stuff just comes back.

It also just makes me wonder what am I even doing anymore. Why am I here?

spoiler mental health stuff cw: depression, suicide and why can't things just finally end. It would be nice for things to just end, but they won't. I don't really want to be here. I'm really tired. I really would like to think there just some sort of reason why I just have to keep being here, even if I don't really want to be at times. Yet if there was, things just feel unbearable, especially with lately just feeling like no one really cares about me besides my dad or my grandma.

just I dunno, I just hope something changes. well that not true, lots of things have changed, and things are always changing, albeit slowly. so maybe this won't be forever or I hope so. :::

I remembred someone said they preferred female corrin because apparently being naive and stupid is more tolerateable for women.

Fire emblem sexism man I HATE GENDER LOCKED CLASS I HATE FEMALE LORDS BEING WRITTEN AS STUPID NAIVE.

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 1 points 30 minutes ago

If anything, himbo is the more appropriate class - but stupidity and naivity transcends gender. All are born stupid, naive, and mewling

I don't mind grafitti but I really wish they would do something besides writing their tags 90 times.

Edit: Grafitti is art. And it can therefore be critiqued as bad art.

Just watched Andor s1e6i was not expecting to be rooting for commies with space-AKs to reenact the plot of Goldfinger while an indigenous group that is currently undergoing proletarianization celebrates their last pre-industrial ritual but that's what happened and it was pretty cool.

dang I guess the normies really are back on saying the r-slur again huh

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 1 points 28 minutes ago

Can't believe they used up the political energy on normalizing the r word instead of the c word if they were gonna go through all the effort. Could've fit in with the Strayans and Brits

Can we just agree that brunch should always involve bottomless mimosas and no judgment about second helpings

TV and movie sound departments be like

I will make all of the dialogue too quiet to hear and then when the audience increases the volume I will blow out their ear drums! How delightfully devilish!

Every season of Survivor I hope for the contestants to vote off Jeff Probst because his challenges exist only to divide the tribe and create conflict.

Ever made yourself sleepy playing some music? I was so happy to work on some songs and started getting drowsy in the middle of them.

Wild that we’re almost ten years from when Donald Trump descended the golden escalators and launched his presidential campaign.

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 4 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 27 minutes ago)

Truly a dividing line in history.

August 1914, "the lamps are going out in Europe and I fear they will not turn on in our lifetime"

September 1945, Japanese Emperors unconditional surrender following Soviet declaration of war

May 1968, "Soyez rΓ©alistes, demandez l'impossible." Ironically what seemed to be the drawing of the curtain on socialism in western Europe for another generation

September 2001, I mean it's still a watershed lol, clear divide between what came before and after

June 2015, Trump descends the golden staircase and does the bizarre Mexico is sending drugs and they're sexual abusers speech

Is there any good (not cringe) modern communist music? Doesn't have to be in English

[–] Hermes@hexbear.net 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

What qualifies as modern for you?

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 2 points 7 hours ago

If it feels like it was made in the past 15 years.

Maybe Chat Pile? Iunno their specific politics but Theyre definitely leftists.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 1 points 6 hours ago

Thinking about it more and maybe Infinity Knives is too on the nose and genuine to not be cringe if you have a low tolerance. Billy Woods is very much the opposite, but his music usually dwells a lot more in nihilism and disillusionment.

I browse the subreddit mechanicadvice and it satisfies the urge to go "yup... it's probably just the radiator/alternator/spark plugs" I feel. I know a fair bit though by the time I see something it's already been answered so I don't feel like repeating the same comment/advice anyway.

[–] Moonworm@hexbear.net 5 points 10 hours ago

Miserable existential crisis all day long. Felt like I had a fever but I don't. I wonder if it's related to starting bupropion at all.
