The UI is such a shame. Inkscape and Krita's UI are so intuitive too

Kinda impressive tbh as irrelevant as this is, mandarin's pretty hard to learn as a second language

At least she's wearing gloves!

In addition to Cowbee's comment, the Prolewiki article on Socialism expands on it.

• Socialism for Beginners

• How Capitalism Robs The Developing World

• What Exactly is Liberalism? (no, it's not about being "woke")

• “Yeah Capitalism Is Bad… But What Can We Do?”

"Human nature" is formed by societal norms, which are in turn formed by the present mode of production and thus material reality. Humans aren't racist by nature lmfao, such a dumb right wing assertion.

• "But What About Human Nature?" is the Dumbest Conservative Argument

Simply put, materialism — as opposed to idealism — is the idea that everything we do and experience as a society (our history, culture, politics, etc) is shaped by the material reality around us, rather than ideas.

"Material analysis" in this case therefore means analysing politics and history through this lens. And it's a fundamental component of socialism/marxism.

Yogthos is insulting liberals because liberalism is an idealist ideology that always eventually gives way to fascism when a capitalist state is (inevitably) in decay.

You have singlehandedly united hexbear and .world in shitting on this video. Great job honestly.

This. If you actually want positive change, go out and join a socialist org to take direct action. In capitalist states — specially imperial core ones — elections are just an ad campaign that won't bring any positive change for workers on its own.

Elections will, however, gradually shift to the far-right as long as liberals/capitalists are in power (see: overton window).

Typical liberal rejecting any shift to the left in favour of fascists.

It's great that the LFI managed to come this far even within a liberal framework, but real change has only ever come from organizing and applying pressure from outside the capitalist system to overthrow it. This should be a signal to french comrades to start organizing for that.

Calm down bro 😭 it's a reasonable thing to point out when presented with "Our ability to destroy is the trait that has powered our rise"

Maybe could've done without the "The fuck are you on?" though I guess

Yes. After all, this would definitely harm BRICS countries and not the US.

Very common actually
