The other, ORIGINAL, MTG is a fun game, but I prefer watching it to playing. Do I have enough revolutionary defeatism if I still root for the USA to win?
EDIT
Also on a much more serious note, there's an Isreali team but no Palestinian team
I the one true leftist hearby decree that revolutionary defeatism doesn't apply to sports
The English club fans/"hooligans" were wildly blown out of proportion as a moral panic. The people who show up to England national team football or rugby games in crusader costumes or worse, pith helmets and shit, are uniquely cancerous
yeah but those are a small and niche minority of fans and not a uniquely English phenomenon
If Satan was competing in a MTG tournament against the US, I would have to root for Satan, because the US is the great Satan
I'm not looking to start a struggle session, I just figured that since hexbear is an expert on revolutionary defeatism, and Leninism in general, you all would be able to provide me with either an assuaged ego or an option to split the hexbear.
i would recommend not caring about the capitalist artificial scarcity game made by the shitty company exploiting the vulnerable people
Legitimately thinking of selling my whole collection and just do this. Now to just make friends...
Coubertin’s idealistic internationalism, developed when planning the Olympics, is predicated upon the inviolability of the nation state.
This reveals his vision of international sport - which he saw as having the potential to displace conflict, to serve as a vehicle for the promotion of peace and harmony within an “international community” - as a structure that reinforces the ruling class.
Coubertin’s “international community” is a community of nations. Not a community of people. The Olympics assume that internationalism and patriotism are not contradictory but complementary.
It’s for precisely this reason that the Bolsheviks refused to send competitors to the bourgeois games since these games were an effort to “deflect workers from the class struggle and to train them for imperialist wars.”
