How do marxists see all this time to be freed & come away with "we'll make you work more"? How much is "superabundance" a moving target? To condition communism on everything already having been innovated & built is to agree with the capitalist claim that communism is stagnation.
For most countries, the state can be pared down immediately, food is already abundant, farming is one of the easier industries to automate, consumer goods' labor time is inflated by planned obsolescense, a effective housing solution has been proven by the USSR 70 years ago, etc
@damn_jehu I view "eventualism" as demoralization by now. Always eventually, every year we need 2 more years for communism. Decades in Marx's time, now it is 100+ years, in 200 it'll be 400. Paralyzing. Nobody feels responsible or pressed for "eventually" while he's trying to eat today.
@dimitripilled Yes. The great German poets for example mostly liked or at least respected each other and praised former great poets. Differences were rather philosophical or political. Read any German Poet and you'll end with a list of contemporaries, formers, some foreigners, and the bible.
@abcdentminded Read this recently. Very mid, very pretentious. Unless you're stupid, you mentally organize and figure these visual flourishes out fast. Like, this section is mainly the main body of text, and two recursive footnotes (the mirrored one is a copy) that list things and wrap around.
@politbureaucrat This is presumably Hegel's death bed quote as given by Heinrich Heine. But reattributing this across German philosophers is very much in the spirit of Heine's joke that all German philosophers said something like this.
The funniest part about the reflecting pool is the most advanced economy in the world sending dozens of waged employees with hand canisters to treat it with homeopathic doses of consumer grade chems instead of using 1 (one) tank truck that can handle industrial concentrations.
@BogelFlorian Inflation ist System, wertet Kapital auf, Löhne ab. Staatsschulden sind auch nicht unprofitabel; d. Staat leiht und verzinst unverwertbares Kapital. Bloße Lohnsteigerung bewahrt Lohnarbeit. Radikale Arbeitszeitverkürzung greift stattdessen d. Mehrwertgrundlage (var. Kapital) an.
@dta1917@Da_Local_Monke I think ultimately "both" are true. Playing and watching are different even for the shallowest game, but very few games are deep enough where just watching is wrong. Just depends on what you wanna talk about after. Harder to talk about say controls if you never made an input lol.
@dta1917@Da_Local_Monke I don't even disagree much there (altho higher diff exists). Rather, I'd say most turn based RPGs are not deep or hard on normal with little player optimization, and tell rigid stories. The timing etc in Persona is what I'd argue makes it one of the more "play-worthy" tbRPGs.
@dta1917@Da_Local_Monke If persona's not a game, most (turn based) RPGs aren't either, no? 99% of TB games are easily trivialized, with mostly rigid stories. Unless that's your point, then I disagree but I see the argument. IMO Persona's one of the few RPGs actually allowing for some personalization.
@FORTRESSMAXXING If there's one thing I find truly bitter, it's the enslavement of our collective optimism. Nobody dares to imagine, plan, make real demands anymore. It's all faux pragmatism/realism and "so how'd you do it better as the state?". No sense of agency. Total surrender to the regime.
@Logo_Daedalus I find much philosophy can be gleaned from pure poetry, and a worthwhile philosopher will be a good poet. Altho I consider the poet here as the German term of "Dichter" that includes "poetic prose", too. I find for example Heidegger's German prose very poetic and endearing.
@realPlebejer Die Phrase ist auch so leer, feige, und kostet nix. Sterben ist einfach, jeder stirbt, da muss man nichts und niemandem was für tun. Wenn die Sache dann doof war aber glimpflich vorbei ging war's halt egal dass man sowas sagte. Immer nachhaken: Würde man dafür auch töten?
Nobody wants to fkn work man, lets just drop the pretenses and stop pretending here.
When everyone accepts "nobody wants to work", talking about abolishing work wont seem so crazy anymore
