I'm evil! I'm evil!

[Nondescript Communist @NondescriptRed]

This account has surpassed my old one I believe. May you rest in peace @nondescriptmarx.

[Nondescript Communist @NondescriptRed]

Ok I'll be the first to admit, we have seen better days

@malehimejoshi_ How so?

[Nondescript Communist @NondescriptRed]

People should be free to choose to be a reindeer herder in the tundra if they wish to, but for this to be a choice in any meaningful sense, there must be a viable alternative. Teaching children to read, etc., allows them the autonomy to make this choice when they're old enough.

[Ⓐnarchosuchus 🏴⚧️🔻 @Sarcosuchus467]

@rivetesseaux Promoting assimilation intro broader Soviet society at the expense of autonomy is not good. This is pushing an assimilationist message, no different from "it's up to us to modernize and civilize them"

@tombruhcks @theatheistomar Among other things

[Nondescript Communist @NondescriptRed]

Can't believe MUG suspended @theatheistomar for being anti-endogamy. Absolutely ridiculous and shameful.

[Nondescript Communist @NondescriptRed]

Having said this, the soviets did (in actuality) commit terrible abuses of Siberian peoples and erase them. They should've offered schooling in Siberian languages among other things. The idea that it is principally bad to force kids to receive an education is wrong though.

[Nondescript Communist @NondescriptRed]

For example, maybe only one in every thirty kids will end up choosing a profession that requires them to do trigonometry regularly, but it's still worth teaching to give that one kid the option of doing that if they want. Education opens up more choices rather than taking them.

@charybdeez @MooseAnony34735 They were generally angry but tbh he didn't say anything that was wrong. You can go look at his twitter for it if you like. I wouldn't call them pleasant but I do think it was kinda warranted.

[Nondescript Communist @NondescriptRed]

@MooseAnony34735 @charybdeez Marxist Unity Group, DSA caucus which has been an influence on my politics in the past. Haven't much appreciated their direction recently though.

[Nondescript Communist @NondescriptRed]

@MooseAnony34735 @charybdeez As I understand it at least, could be wrong.

[Nondescript Communist @NondescriptRed]

@MooseAnony34735 @charybdeez TLDR for both of you is that Omar went on a long (quite understandable) tirade against endogamy and abrahamic religion in general on his twitter. MUG basically told him to delete his social media over this for fear of offending religious comrades, he told them to get stuffed.

[PK Gandakin 🪿 🚩 @pkgandakin]

In what world is what Omar posted expulsion worthy

[Nondescript Communist @NondescriptRed]

@GramsciPartisan We are all MUG Omar

[Rachel 📘🛠️🌹 @RachelNagant]

Move heaven and earth to defend the life of MUG Omar

[Nondescript Communist @NondescriptRed]

@signed_EZ Why reproach him for his tone (which is no harsher or less rational than the tone of Lenin, who you praise) and not the people arguing with him for opposing absurd and backwards reactionary politics?

[Nondescript Communist @NondescriptRed]

@lutyrannus It's not getting the communist revolt in the first place that's particularly difficult, it's getting them in a position where it's possible for them to win. There's never enough states that side with them and they will always (rightly) be international pariah.

[Nondescript Communist @NondescriptRed]

I have factory councils as an amendment, my socialist movement has gone revolutionary but I can't actually enact council republic because nowhere has had a civil war over it yet. This is not very satisfying gameplay.

[Nondescript Communist @NondescriptRed]

@lutyrannus Having highly proletarianised urban centres with vast amounts of literate radicals is still not a reliable predictor of these states siding with a socialist revolution, even if you use every means available to you to do this.

[Nondescript Communist @NondescriptRed]

@lutyrannus In my experience, if you want to do this then it basically involves handicapping yourself on purpose for large swathes of the game and even then it's a gamble so idk how we could be playing the game so differently.

[Nondescript Communist @NondescriptRed]

@antiproguy I'll note that enacting the commie laws and then fighting the counter revolution which, almost invariably, moved against them was something I did all the time and found fun enough before the update. It helps that in this situation it's way easier to actually win.

[Nondescript Communist @NondescriptRed]

@antiproguy Even with it being obviously based on the russian revolution, I'd argue that the civil war there was moreso a fight against the mobilisation of counter revolution against that it was a direct revolution in and of itself.
