Yeah, I dipped my toes into marxism and anarchism this year and am about ankle deep down by now. The more I read the more I cringe at people I see here. It is heartbreaking. All that nonsense spewed out nonchalantly like they know everything. It costs you nothing to be nice. And even if you disagree cite something for the others to read on if you think you know it all. And read books most importantly.

will it descend into magical thinking/authoritarian behaviour? we’ll see. his bodega project seems like the kind of thing that could really backfire. he just wants cheaper staples but the knock-on effects and management of this project will not be easy
and will the
theoristsfantasists come out with the usual excuses if it fails?
