As someone terrified of the prospect of Trump returning to power, yet even more terrified of having to do anything about it — I think you’re all LARPers.
Ben has been posting some really great content in the past year with these overviews, the economy hour with Radhika and Michael, and all the guest lecturers. Recommend this channel to anyone who hasn’t been watching.
Class struggle is an ongoing process. There is no ceiling for greed and no floor for the conditions of the working class.
The US is immensely profitable for the bourgeoisie, but there are still “difficulties” like OSHA, FMLA, anti-trust laws, etc which deviate from a perfectly exploitable society.
oh yeah those are excellent too!
I have been addicted to southeast Asian food since I first started consistently eating it in college. Hard to pick between Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Filipino but they’re all delicious.
Not related to the struggle session, whoops. I guess France is like 1% responsible for some Vietnamese dishes.

This is just dialectics
(hexbear.net)
Separation of concerns is a basic concept in computer science. Djikstra's original explanation sounds strangely similar to dialectics, to me 
I mean, it's not exactly the same (dialectics are much richer) but it is indeed interesting that we only "discovered" this in 1974. Although to be honest, the idea is probably older than Hegel.
Das Kapital basically follows this structure. Various aspects of the capitalist mode of production are viewed in isolation, from one limited perspective. Only after examining each perspective, and the interrelation between them, can one really understand the entire system.
Correct, there is not much of a difference. It is a question of translation. A translation into English may opt to use the word “liberal” in certain places because of the precise connotations of that word to an English-speaking audience. In other languages they may opt to translate the concept of bourgeois/liberal ideology into a word that does not specifically refer to the classical liberal movement.
Straight month at home: the other 11 months
Christmas season lasts literally a quarter of the year now, therefore his argument is invalid.

Is this true in the non-English-speaking world?
Mao wrote the notorious “Combating Liberalism” essay, but I don’t speak Chinese, so I can’t verify how direct that translation is. It is possible that the original text referred more generically to bourgeois ideology, and not specifically the classical liberal movement in western Europe.
The poster is confused why the term liberal is used so often in English Marxist contexts, so it seems plausible that non-English Marxists do not often refer specifically to liberalism.

Does it harm the global proletariat to fight for improved conditions in the imperial core?

Saw this comment on the commie side of TikTok. My gut tells me this is ultraleft bs, but perhaps my fellow hexbears can educate me on this discussion which I’m sure is not new.
I don’t see how a poor American on food stamps is responsible, even though a systematic analysis reveals that international superexploitation is a thing.
The American proletariat can and should organize in any case. I don’t see how Americans can build any sort of socialist movement if any organization at all is accused of being hypocritical.

iOS has a background noise accessibility feature
(hexbear.net)
I discovered this feature a little while ago and find it useful for focusing. The extra nice thing is that it can play simultaneously with video or audio. So if you want to watch a show, it will continue to play background noise.
Sharing this here since I understand many ND people (particularly ADHD) benefit from background noise. Not sure if there is an Android equivalent for this. There are the sleep sounds in the Clock app, but that’s not quite the same.
