I admit that I don't know much about North Korea, but they seem to manage to have elections despite being at war with the largest superpower for almost a century. Maybe they should learn from North Korea.

There is nothing wrong with living in a house one owns.

Landlording is a systemic practice of using government contracts to take money from people without doing labor. Which we as communists seek to abolish.

Is there a party to support? Then support your local party, or build something useful for the revolution. That is what matters more than your parents means of income. You can't have agency over other people. You can try to convince them but that's about it.

Even then, I would not chastise you even if you started landlording or being a petite bourgeoisie business owner. Sure other people might find it harder to take you seriously, but we are in a war of position to convince people. We are not in a war of maneuver where your life is on the line at the moment so don't worry.

Separate these 2 things: 1 the things you have now because of your past and things given to you, 2 the things you can do later. What you have gives you power to act in some ways that others can't. If you have privlidge, don't dwell on guilt for what you don't have control over. Think of what was given to you as tools to help you do more for the communist movement. Use that steady security brought to you to help the working class out in what ways you are able.

This is your mind on idealism.

They just created an insular cult dedicated to thinking about the horrors of general AI when no such general AI exists yet. They could very well be sweeping sexual assault cases under the rug.

I don't think they seem to be really interacting with general AI.

Also the real dangers of AI come from capitalism and the market competition that it drives. The cost cutting and the destruction of the working class and environment will be in the training data of all AI that are made under capitalism.

That was an exhausting read.

Are you sure that this is not a bot? The BrooklynMan seems to do basic webscraping, then make arguments independant of the context of the article itself, then doubles down on their incoherent epistemology. is it that hard to automate?

its funny on one hand, but also really disturbing tbh. In the USA there are the incoherant liberals and the incoherant fascists and any left wing movement that seek to make the world better is stifled with childish namecalling.

maybe that's because unlike fascists, ML's build things. The fash also can't keep power that long either.

The property managers do the actual work, but the cost of managing the property is often significantly smaller than the total collected from the properties. Even in cases where it is not, they are taking advantage of their luck to buy a property, and have a government backed means of taking money from other people without doing work. If any given landlord did not do the landlord thing, another landlord would do the same thing, because that is the assumption within capitalism. I understand you think there are no other alternatives, but other arrangements like housing cooperatives can be built instead of landlords leeching off of others.

All ideologies are based on ideas from other places. there is no such thing as a completely unique ideology that shares no characteristics with ideologies in other countries.

What the fuck? Yes it is on shit reactionaries say but the image is just gross on so many levels that I wonder if we should encourage this to be on our site.

At the moment we exist in capitalism.

The right wing in burgerland is pushing back even more against LGBTQ people.

The capitalists as a result of this political discourse are backing out of supporting LGBTQ people.

The capitalists follow trends to profit from, and this is not good for our LGBTQ friends.

A sad state of affairs.
