I’m about halfway through this book, it’s basically a 500ish page summary of all three volumes of Capital written by a Japanese Marxian political economist. It seems pretty good so far. I’m probably going to try to read Capital for real again when I’m done, but this seems like it covers enough.

Edit: got this off a pinned post in r/communism

We will either transition most of the world to socialism or collapse as a civilization before there are any significant off-world settlements.

My Spanish isn’t the best, could anyone summarize the last article?

This isn’t synonymous with the dotp, and it’s only necessary to maintain capitalist relations of production like this when the productive forces are too underdeveloped to switch immediately to fully or at least primarily socialist relations of production (some form of planned economy which produces goods directly according to social need). Situations like China, Vietnam, and the USSR during the NEP are examples of this. The dotp is just any state in which the working class is the ruling class and wields state power in their interests.

Who tf is downbearing you two he actively and uncritically promotes transphobes and defends Aleksandr Dugin, who helped found the National Bolshevik Party in Russia.

Roko’s Basilisk is the dumbest fucking nonsense and I have no idea why so many people take it seriously.

I just really fucking wish he wasn’t such a TERF asshole. TANS is my go to text for explaining to people how socialism could actually work in the 21st century, but it makes it harder to recommend knowing that if they google the guy they’ll find 800 transphobic screeds on his website. I love his work and I think Everyone needs to read TANS, it’s just frustrating.

I critically support China, but the existence of billionaires is a constant existential threat to the working class character of the cpc and the Chinese state and any “socialist” who says otherwise is full of shit.

Yes, indicating that you’re an organ donor is different from donating your body for medical research, they just take out the organs they need and give the cremated remains of the rest to your family or whoever. There’s literally no reason not to, it’s not like you’re using them anymore.

We already do, one of them will just be openly fascist.
