Just automate the form via Dolphin or Burp Suite, either of those should work well enough. Bonus points if you hook up a LLM to feed plausible-sounding false data into the form fields.

Makes sense, and thank you for the clarification!

I'm sure it'll be hilarious when I explain to my co-organizers that the Stalinist in our group isn't a tankie because they support LGBTQ+ rights

Okay, I just finished up reading Anti-Duhring after a few months and that's kind of a misrepresentation. Things had to be centralized in order to wield effective power against the bourgeoisie. The whole "The Bolsheviks betrayed the revolution" thing is also a bit off, since IIRC the biggest difference between the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks was that the Bolsheviks believed that collaboration with the economic ruling class was futile and worked against winning the class war.

Y'all... without some sort of "authoritarian" element, how can the working class enforce its will upon the ruling class? I want the working class to be in charge and for the means of production (factories and shit like that) to be owned by the workers who use those machines for the benefit of themselves and the rest of the working class. We aren't gonna get those factories, land, etc without being "authoritarian" and dictating terms to our oppressors. And since we can't peacefully force these oligarchs to give up their assets we'll have to use force, and force means that we really need tanks and people who are more militaristically minded.

Maybe instead of shitting on "tankies" maybe understand that they're working towards the same goal of the empowerment of the working class, and try to ally with them? You might not agree with their ideology but if we can work together towards a better future for the working class, then why shit on them?

Idk. Maybe this is too nuanced for a community that seems to be focused on dunking on "tankies" (I'm still not really sure what that exactly means, I'd appreciate comments with people's personal definition of what they consider a "tankie"), but I genuinely think we'd be better off trying to reconcile and work together.

This report completely missed why many Marxists refer to China as the CPC vs the colloquial CCP. They say CPC because the "Communist Party" part of it comes before the nation, as a symbolic way to reject nationalism in favor of internationalism.

I think the author of this paper would have benefited from talking to the hardline leftists and asking them their thoughts rather than trying to analyze them from the outside. Most of the time, if you ask someone in good faith why they believe what they believe, they'll honestly answer out of a desire to be understood.

Even if it was fake, this manifesto makes a good point. We, as a people, would have far less miserable lives if every CEO in the Fortune 500 and billionaire dropped dead tomorrow. Just saying, we'd be way better off with them dead, and we all know it. Left, right, doesn't matter. If you know the pain of being exploited by these rich fucks then we've got an enemy in common.

When someone else kills a CEO we need to do everything we can to hide them, aid them, and celebrate them as our heroes in this war.

It'd be fun to watch, it'd be engaging to the crowd, and it'd terrorize capitalists. Especially with real-time updates, imagine a CEO doing a press release and then having their bounty skyrocket as people hear the news.

Capitalists can choose to give up their property and become workers like the rest of us, or they can get the wall and then their property is redistributed. The capitalist class has colonized our society, and their enforcers are the police. And according to Franz Fanon's books on anticolonial struggle in Algeria, colonial relations never go away unless fought with anticolonial violence to oppose the violence of the colonizers. Ultimately, violence is what is needed to force those in power to give up their wealth, and if they gave up their wealth willingly then violence would not be necessary.

Check out Communications Workers of America - they've been pushing into the tech world

I get where you're going with this, and yeah, the PMC helps hold the current system in place. I was thinking about the cybersecurity/engineers/architects/other better paid workers who are still subject to class exploitation even though they're better off than a line cook.

Also, I like your bit about the professional managerial class being an ideological shield - I see that happening in the workplace all the time where people won't consider rocking the boat because they want to be management one day.

Yeah, someone who lives in an empty home. And nope, I don't think you're for these spikes, I meant "yes, removing these would be good, and we should also address the underlying causes of homelessness". My apologies, I've just been dealing with city meetings where officials are trying to do anything but address the core causes, and I've been frustrated with that and it spilled over.

You could also make this a joke about being trans, but not realizing it yet. In the trans community we refer to people who're trans but haven't realized it as "eggs" because they haven't hatched yet. Anyway, there are the seeds of a good joke there!
