unfortunate

no joke, i've had folks tell me they think disco elysium is just "making fun of all sides" and "pointing out the stupidity of politics".

i hate to say it, but just like capitalist santa, acab santa isn't real

I'm curious what folks in here (especially Marxists) think of Sartre. Are there any critical responses to his work worth reading?

It's so sad

Q: How should the working class organize to take class power?

A: This is dependent on your nation's material conditions, often in relation to the present state of international affairs. For colonized nations where the status quo is upheld through strict state violence, a violent people's revolution utilizing geurrilla warfare, sabotage, mass propaganda and the 'war of maneuver' is best, although a multifaceted strategy should be considered. For highly-developed nations where the status quo is upheld through not only state violence but also intricate institutions of cultural hegemony (religion, media, education) it is vital to first construct a revolutionary base within civil society. This is best done through improving material conditions (whether via organized labour, riots, sometimes electoral reform), challenging hegemony through the formation of counter-hegemonic institutions, raising class consciousness, forming alliances with all oppressed groups, all of these falling largely under the 'war of position'. Once conditions are sufficient for the working class to take class power, it should do so within the previously described framework of democratic centralism, although material conditions must shape the character of the vanguard party; revolutionary strategy is not entirely transhistorical.

I know most of y'all have fully abandoned Twitter, but good lord if he actually does this (which is not guaranteed mind you) a LOT of vulnerable people are going to get hurt.
