The Power we designate is power misplaced,
but Power into the People's hands can be replaced.

I had this idea for a procedurally-generated space screensaver thing.

Here's what it looks like after a day of work!

#Java #Space

[Eugene V. Debs Museum @DebsMuseum]

Happy 🌍 Day

@Csmcapthy30 @Yelix From the amount of returns we get and people coming in solely to replace the controllers they had for 1-2 months, it seems like the PS5 build quality is.... maybe a bit subpar.

[Andreas ☭ @malakadre]

@Solidarity_Star Saying that you do not see yourself as part of a relatively amorphous political faction and firmly establishing your sympathies with a specific, scientifically-defined political group does not make one a radical liberal - at least the way I see it.

[Andreas ☭ @malakadre]

@Yelix I see why you say this but as a person who works in retail, I'd say, at the very least anecdotally, "game controllers sold first party have more defects than they've ever had!"

[Andreas ☭ @malakadre]

@Solidarity_Star There aren't many international coalitions of communists nowadays. We are so splintered, not just into sects, but nationally as well...

Call me a shill or whatever but the IMT/RCI is legitimately one of the only communist orgs I'm aware of uniting communists beyond borders.

[Andreas ☭ @malakadre]

@law_marx @Solidarity_Star "People will always have differing beliefs" So? Does that mean we shouldn't be organizing the ones that don't differ? We already have a functioning International with sections in MANY countries. It's not an *impossible* feat, it's a *difficult* one, and that makes the difference.

[Andreas ☭ @malakadre]

@deephousegibbon @Solidarity_Star We do not have a formal checklist but we do gauge things like general agreement with our programme (which contains demands for things like universal Healthcare and education). Otherwise we vet people by their organizational efforts and conduct.

[Andreas ☭ @malakadre]

@KolHue @Solidarity_Star Fun fact: people who didn't self ID as communist before are still joining our ranks, learning what communism is, and enthusiastically referring to themselves as one too.

How is it not a good strategy when it's literally working?

[Andreas ☭ @malakadre]

@boxxy42069 @Solidarity_Star What experiences are you drawing on? The working class LOVES communist ideas. Political opponents who come up to us just to scream in our faces can't even bring themselves to disagree in any substantive way to our ideas. Properly presented, no worker turns our ideas away.

[Andreas ☭ @malakadre]

@More_Mass_Line @Solidarity_Star The practical experience of having a bunch of new recruits, retaining the political level of the previous period, and expanding into new areas of work develops... nothing?

[Andreas ☭ @malakadre]

@deephousegibbon @Solidarity_Star Are you under the impression that we wouldn't do any vetting after recruitment? Getting people in through the door is just step 1...

[Andreas ☭ @malakadre]

@Solidarity_Star 1) In a situation in which the masses have not yet been convinced of the necessity of communism, it's a wise strategic move to organize the people who are already in agreement primarily

2) The results speak for themselves, the org has WAY more than doubled in less than 9 months

[Andreas ☭ @malakadre]

This doesn't matter at all if public officials can just block the social media platform itself.

[The Spectator Index @spectatorindex]

UNITED STATES: Supreme Court unanimously rules that public officials can be sued for blocking users on social media platforms

Say you've never had a job without saying you've never had a job...

[Comrade Soya @olasoyamilk]

Gonna ruin every conversation I have today by saying that International WORKING women's day was created by a communist to tie women's oppression to the class struggle.

@realgirl_fieri my coworkers like "just another day in paradise" - said with the most soulless expression and lack of sincerity they can muster

[Karl Marx @marxhaunting]

Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist revolution.
The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.
