Banner from: Some PhilStar Picture of UPLB (PH) protests on Sep21 I can’t find the link to.

My theme song: https://youtu.be/OdQ1Gy4xy5s (FDJ by IFA Wartburg ft. Kasane Teto)

A comrade of the East, I come with gifts and a feast! A toast to the end of capitalism.

Anyways, yeah, I’m Caj. Just call me Caj, really. I’m that infuriating ‘leftist’ who can’t define herself of who she even is, much less what brand of anarchism/marxism I follow. I have read from both, though.

This doesn’t mean I don’t have positions, but I tend to err on the past, as I have less knowledge of it than I used to. Anyway here’s Marx:

“Workers of the world, unite!” and “Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it.”

— Karl Marx, Communist Manifesto y Theses on Feuerbach, 1848 y 1845, respectively.

  • Heh, well I’m still cool for using the bleeding edge! Guess what Debian? My packages break so yours don’t! Erm, why use an easy installer and unstable leap repo when you can manually go through installing (please forget arch-install/arch-based distros exists) your system and be left wondering why your fstab is broken! Heh, I just know arch is for the cool tech enthusiasts like me~

    (Me too, I actually used Kubuntu/Pop!_OS for a brief while before going Endeavour. For me, I wanted to have the flawed AUR, and since I was already trying to go further with KDE Plasma and Unstable Stuff, I thought why not leap to an Arch-based distro? I mean, besides the every month-or-so package warning breakage and learning to install multiple kernels because of… the instability, lol. It’s fun to act like a sectarian too, especially since I’m supposed to be associated with those Arch elitists if… they still exist.)












  • Yeah, as a hobbyist writer I’ve heard that a lot, and like… for me, it is way more ‘complete’ in terms of the creative work on my works if I’m out and about with the proletariat, working the salary, experiencing the same they do, even if it’s like fantasy fiction, I can’t explain why I feel this way but if I ever get ‘serious’ I wouldn’t want more than getting my needs met and maybe some repairs/cleaning in my home and stuff I own once in a while.


  • About this:

    But my question to them I guess would be, how would they like to see their artwork handled in socialism and communism? In the USSR artists were employed by the state on salary to produce artworks, when it came to specific exhibitions or government campaigns. Would they be opposed to that? Art they produced through the artists’ union was typically bought by the state for a fixed one-time payment. Would they be opposed to that? The petit-bourgeois artists would.

    I’m curious if you have more info on how people have implemented art/writing in AES states, is it only through like government programs that artists get salaries? Can you work on those without explicitly being on the state’s salary? I’d love to know.




  • I know this is like very ‘necroposting’-ish comment, but I searched this up when I was reading up on lemmy-world defederation drama again.

    As a (formerly) lemm.ee and now, hexbear/lemmy.zip user I find that it is definitely a mixed bag when it comes to generalist instances like ee and zip, like as the leftist part I wondered why hexbear and lemmygrad were blocked by default, then yeah, I found the threads and posts about that.

    I got it unblocked though, but I eventually decided to create one in hexbear, since I realized that it’d probably be better to have a dedicated account to leftist posting, since I want to further my connection to left communities, without having to manage my feed as much (getting like news from .world, shjustworks and grad was interesting) but I found them buried since they had less engagement than the others.
