unlike the petite bougie tom nook, this guy seems pretty KOALA-fied to lead :owl-wink:
I think Ursula K Leguin was more of an anarchist. So, yes, most liberals would call her a tankie.
LeGuin didn't call herself an anarchist because she believed that politics is something you do, not something you believe. I would be remiss not to link this lovely obituary from IGD.
Nintendo's obsession with copyright, to the point of banning smash tournaments, really takes the cake when it comes to being a petty capitalist
made obsolete by environmental factors & the concentration of wealth into global networks of colonial extraction, which brought to prominence a new category of Merchant Lords?
you are describing human factors. People did those things
how the fuck was colonialism not done with human agency.
The French revolution and other bourgoise revolutions against the feudal powers were the result of people working to achieve them
also as the little ice age started in 1300 I don't believe it directly led to the end of divine right of kings some 300 years later
the disagreement seems largely semantic with the crux hinging on your perception of free-will/agency versus theirs.
It can easily be rephrased as "Capitalism seems inescapable blah blah, so too did the divine right of Kings but that shit came to a close" with the implication being that the march of history could undo capitalism's dominance and supplant it with something new.
That wasn't what I meant.
I meant that people acting against the divine right of kings did ultimately accomplish something. The various anti-monarchist movements in the middle ages also did contribute to the ideas that came up in the French revolution
