Back cover (if you can't sleep count the typos...)
Just read The Dispossessed instead. It describes an anarcho-communist society but is achingly beautiful literature because LeGuin is an incredible writer.
You know it's gonna be great theory when its straight up selfdescribed as "utopia" and "explained to the last detail" in 50 pages by a humble self appointed sixth head of marxism.
No, Eddy Gordo will yet again dominate the Iron Fist (of the Market) Tournament
i kinda said this in genzedong, but i wish i was self confident enough to put a representation of myself next to the big five like in the cover, even if i know i am not as wise as marx because i forget why i went to the bathroom for the 5th time and then throw an ice cream and attempt to eat the wrapper, i am not as cool as mao who killed landlords on sunday afternoons and i obviously don't have the very cool mustache of stalin
viki1999 with her reactionary stuff and bad takes that would bring us to the moon and back if they were used as fuel (iirc, my memory's fuzzy and i can't sleep) and yet she's confident enough to put herself next to the 5 heads of communism, people who have achieved great things, thought of the future and attempted to fix the world. i barely know what she did other than make a minecraft "marxist analysis" video that i don't remember much of
i may be able to do some things, but knowing myself, i would never put myself next to the 5 heads of communism, i know i am a small fry in terms of deeds, a literal doofus. not even considering doing that for a joke. i just don't believe i am good or worthy enough
viki1999 with her reactionary stuff and bad takes
She had a bad take on Israel, in a private chat, which she later apologised for. I'm not saying she's my ideal leftist or anything, but can we not jump on the Badempanada train. It's not like he hasn't had a fuckload of nuclear bad takes and terrible Twitter spats with other left creators.
I'm not even into getting into this debate, because caring about streamers is pointless.
She said "why would I support the bloodthirsty islamic Palestinians who hang people for being gay?". That's not just some little oopsie
In a private chat, for which she literally apologised for. Not that trans people get a pass for islamophobia, but I think we can grant her some leeway to a one off bad opinion of something, in private, when she was probably drunk. It's not like it was a 45 year old dude writing a public tweet.
Viki is now doing sex work for survival, so congrats, you all won.
Hey, I had a close friend say something similar in private chat about native americans that one of my friends showed me.
That person is no longer my friend and they could have their skull blown smooth off with some grey matter spray right in front of me and I wouldn't give a shit. I didn't defend that person and I wouldn't give a shit if they apologized.
That person is no longer my friend and they could have ________________________ and I wouldn't give a shit.
Totally normal thing to say
When you grown up around skinheads that have personally threatened you and threatened to S.A your 9 year old sister, it's different. We aren't in a normal world and half the people on here aren't normal people.
I have zero tolerance for that kind of shit. Trying to say "CMOOOON GUYS, THE STREAMER WHO SAYS ISLAMIC PEOPLE ARE ANIMALS IS JUST DRUNK AT THE TIME AND IS NOW DOING SEX WORK TO SURVIVE!" is even less normal, but hey, what do I know? It's just a private chat, right?
Get fucking real.
i don't watch either of them so i am in the "not caring about streamers" train, i was just told that viki1999 did some stuff, thank you for mentioning cause i never trust my memory
Aww. I used to watch Viki1999 as a baby marxist. She's alright but even back then I felt something kind of unserious about her theory. There are some videos of hers I'd still recommend to people today depending on where they're coming from, but I'm not sure I could ever muster the effort to read utopian theory from her.
spoiler
she's a zionist? yikes i didn't know that.
