Do you have evidence that this website in question is a "tankie" website? Or does it offer a different viewpoint, or a range of viewpoints?

I don't have any particular say on this issue in particular, but what about the fact that Google can silently remove replies without telling you (which gives the image of non-bias) and further that people may be biased in favour of Goo

His programming and social acheivements in my opinion vastly outclass installing an OS by himself, though I wonder why he doesn't do it; I assume he knows how partitioning etc. works. And to be honest, how often do most people need to

I thought about this too, but one of the features of imageboards is that it doesn't splinter into subthreads, there's a big list of posts, unlike Reddit. And because a post can reply to multiple posts at once, you can't separ

I would hardly call it "heroic" to be standing up against political correctness overreach. Everyone is against this, in fact aside from gaming it's the biggest subset of Youtube, even roping in figures as unrelated such as

From a feminist point of view, this is how patriarchy negatively affects men, too.

That would be ideal but as a general principle for all of society it is too weak in my view, especially from the idea of class, power structure, coercion and historicism, the principle that to understand society one must look at its history

I wanted to implement a distribured imageboard over bittorrent but I quickly realised it's hard to add data after the initial publication, and further to verify it, and the nature of trackers may make it prone to censorship. So I gave

This is the point - it is class conflict, Marx took this into account in his materialist conception of history. The antagonism of proletarians and bourgeoisie is the modern manifestation of the class war; slave rebellions the ancient manife

For that reason I think we should support modern day Marxists (and non-Marxian Communists), anarchists and Communalists in their research and investigation into advancing their hypothesis. A good read on this is Badiou's The Communist

I'd rather say that high income inequality leads to people realising class antagonism between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, and the synthesis of this conflict is Socialism.

Perhaps the solution then is not redistribution of money, but common control over the means of production, the way by which people sustain themselves.

Interesting, I'm rather young and I can't imagine any of my friends wanting to see a play (unless it's provided free by the university's drama society or they have to attend), much less an orchestra performance, and much

Agreed, and that's my point - it seems to be equally speculation that women are staying away from tech because it's 'toxic', and further it doesn't seem to be on sound basis that having more women in tech would lead

I mean, that's a possibility, but could it also be possible that women, for whatever reason, just aren't interested in IT/tech/whatever in general in the first place? By this I mean to say, it could be simply that there

Proudhon picked up on this point at the start of the 19th century; there isn't enough property (private property) for everyone, ignoring of course critical depletion of all the earth's resources such that even personal property be

I take the distinction between private and personal property to be important, as Proudhon and later Marx described. >There are different kinds of property: 1. Property pure and simple, the dominant and seigniorial power over a thing; or,

Postmodernism is a political issue, or at least, it is involved in critical theory which influences politics. Marxism is a critique of political economy. I didn't mean to group the last item in with "political issues", thou

It's a shame that people (especially propertarians and "classical liberals") seem to be more concerned about property rights than fostering individualism.

Interesting, that makes sense, though of course I don't agree with either subset of the party; China has (almost?) entirely progressed to the capitalist mode of production, and if anything I believe that in China of all places the dist

Does anyone have information as to how the party leadership in China manages to pass off what's happening in China as "Communism"? I don't understand how the leadership which calls itself Communist while encouraging wage

Although I share this concern, I can't really square with the idea of freedom of expression. Because someone may do something, I don't think it's good reasoning. And as far as I know, there's little or no evidence link
