Phallocentric debate, obviously.

You ever think if Baudrillard was a high-agency male?

Honestly, step away from the lathe because I think we're about a year out from having a "Man-Whip" as an unironic position for making sure things don't get too "gay" in the senate/congress.

The word the acronym represents inside the acronym is simply phallo-representative.

You indeed taught me a few things. Sure. I'll stick with organizing and the ground-work though as I was never good with coding or any of the examples shown it has uses in. The work I do has zero relevance to A.I as of now, so that could be to do with that anything to do with A.I still disgusts me despite the points and facts that you have. I guess I'm a luddite in that area. Getting old sucks.

Why is it good for workers to own the means of production asks a self proclaimed Marxist.

I wasn't arguing against open-source, nor the fact that I am disgracing the technology as completely useless, said more harm than good. I'm saying that it's going to cause major harm and that having open-source alternatives doesn't mean you own the technology. But you are correct, I am not focusing on the good that it could do.

Marxists recognize that the problem lies not with the technology itself, but with the relations of production that govern its use. Our goal is not to halt progress, but to seize control of these productive forces and direct them towards emancipatory ends.

I'm still in partial disagreement that open-source alternatives truly will change anything. I've seen open-source released before for many products and people still flock over to established products. That could change though and you could very well be right. We shall see in that department. I still don't think open-source technology means ownership of it. It simply is a relation. I am not railing against open-source. It's hard to see the good in these things when they affect the neighborhoods you live in.

It’s to understand how these technologies develop productive forces that can eventually serve as the basis for a communist society, and critically, to identify and leverage the contradictions like open-source that arise within capitalism, even if they seem small at the time. Do you see now why simply focusing on the ruling class’s inevitable misuse, without acknowledging the other side of the dialectic, leads to a dead end for Marxist thought?

I suppose we'll see the uses this technology can have. A.I; not open-source technology.

Some of them, probably, yeah. They were greeks. If we brought back Socrates nowadays he'd probably be Tim Pool.

Chad High-Agency Docking. Or C.H.A.D if you will. Give me a government office now.

It's actually hilarious sometimes being in this exact field of work, doing maintenance and shit. I see some apartments exactly like this in a complex and laugh because the extra 800 dollars they tack onto monthly rent for a couple of plastic baseboards, white paint and cheapest possible covers for everything.

Then they get mad at you when you straight up don't respect them and tell them what they do is a straight up grift.

Not a huge fan of their logo unless it's just meant to be an ironic version of the three arrows with trumpets..but with the whole "commune" part I'm not quite sure.

Still, I can't knock their music or the lyrics; good stuff.

 

Don't get me wrong, I know Anton LaVey is a huge piece of shit regarding his flirtations with fascist attitudes and eugenics. I've known a few of them and they tend to have straight up obnoxious opinions on communists despite the fact that we both share a lot of the same criticisms of religion. Then there's LaVeyanist groups attacking leftist groups as well.

Generally, it seems like there's a lot of left-leaning ones with a good mass of reactionaries with a anti-theist bend. Is there a reason the anti-communism comes into play here though?

Could also purely be anecdote. Reason I post is because I'm curious on the thoughts you all have.

 

Some gems, top comment aside:

"Our glorious peacekeepers in Rwanda, their barbarous peacekeepers in Sudan"

A lot of cope, but some of the subsequent threads on one of the biggest subreddits with begrudgingly tolerable views towards China is...interesting.
