Many names on this list. I started off with most famous, have since moved onto less known and still nothing.
Some names are taken from that secret list I made when someone stole my Leet name from my account which I had secretly made with FBC characters. I will add to this list whenever I think of a name I like.
So enjoy and please let me know in the comments.
Preferably sans air conditioning. And constant Internet access.
And I wouldn’t mind if, in exchange, every year at Burning Man people were forced to take the following oath:
I swear to restore the earth to the natural state and return to a seasonal rhythm of more than two weeks in the year. I commit to finding time and space to be still in this busy, global world and to create a basic world order wherein every resident has the basics of food, shelter, and warmth. I swear to meet with my neighbors at least once a year and to meet with everyone else whom I might be able to connect with once a year. I pledge to make a yearly effort to meet my animal brethren and to not kill them.
As an idealist, I get misty at the thought of marching for human rights and equality all over the world.
I see that as a good thing, I truly do.
But I hate the fact that I have to live in the real world.
One of the hardest things about this is not getting the luxuries I am accustomed to.
This makes me hate humanity and lose faith in humans, actually.
The council communist approach, as I explain it, is that it’s okay to struggle within the organization on whatever issues you find essential or necessary for the victory of the revolution but then to fight to destroy the organization and to found a new one, one that is libertarian and communist.
To argue the right of an organization to do whatever it wants, as long as its members agree to it, is a fine thing to do but can never make a revolution in the first place.
As we go through the history of the Russian Revolution we find a class struggle going on within the revolutionary party which isn’t part of the plan from the beginning. Lenin initially objected to the first struggle in this way: “What sort of party is this? The party is the whole country. That is its capital. You are fighting over a capital that you have no idea where it is, it may be in one place or another, you are arguing about the precise place to build the centre of the party and that, indeed, is not correct.
The general line of the party is that it should comprise all the workers in the republic, outside of the capitals, this means all of the towns and villages and each of the trade unions, as all of these have a certain integral part.
The problem is not who will be in the headquarters of the party but that the headquarters should be at the centres of struggle. The communists should be at the centre of the struggle, not at the centre of the party. The party is only one means, one moment, of the revolution, the general line, the goal of the revolution is to take the state power, not to fight for the leadership of the party.”
Later in his life Lenin took the second and third step:
“In his first edition of What is To Be Done?, Lenin outlined the particular problems of the Russian state and its government and wrote that a majority of the masses did not want direct participation in government, they wanted participation in an organisational leadership.
In his second and third editions of What Is To Be Done?, he stated that in order to direct the masses toward the revolution, the party must either take the direct, objective interest of the masses, ie, the will of the masses, or it must create a leadership of the masses, ie, a leadership led by the workers and their party organisation.
He didn’t see how you could conduct a revolution without the political leadership of the masses but he recognized that without that there was no possibility of directing them towards the revolution.
This was the first step towards a dictatorship, to direct the masses.”
So, what happened to him? What happened to Comrade Lenin after the October Revolution? What happened to the First Five Year Plan? It was called off. It was put on hold. It was never implemented and it was all because Lenin disagreed with Trotsky’s proposal for revolutionary government.
During the Russian Civil War, where the new Soviet Union was fighting a counterrevolutionary front, Stalin began to build the new Soviet bureaucracy through Stalin’s tactics of using the bureaucracy as the leading force for state-building and central planning. This continued after Lenin died, and through the middle and the late 30’s and all of the way up to the final years of the Stalin era.
Lenin said it himself in 1925: “What we have hitherto accomplished has not been because of our organization but because of our opportunism.”
He was correct.
This is why Trotsky called Lenin “the political bankruptcy of world revolutionary politics.”
There is the myth that after Lenin’s death, Stalin consolidated state power, nationalized the means of production, raised workers’ salaries and protected the environment, etc.
These things did happen. This myth, however, is a myth because there was no radical, Marxist, egalitarian forces in the working class, the world wide working class. There were Leninists but not Marxists. Marxism can’t live with Leninism because Leninism is not Marxism.
We should remember that Lenin, in his notes on his “Power to the Soviets,” wrote that if there were a dictatorship of the proletariat, this dictatorship would be a dictatorship of the proletariat, not of a minority; a dictatorship of the international working class; a dictatorship with no contradictions and no antagonism; one government.
Nowadays we are witnessing the total bankruptcy of the official United States Marxists who call themselves Marxists but who lack a coherent class analysis, who do not understand why Marxism has the attraction and power that it does, that it is more than a theory, but that it is a movement, that it is revolutionary, that it will lead to a different society, a socialist society, a workers’ society, a society in which every person will be able to live a good life, on his/her own terms, in a free, democratic society. The United States Marxists in general make no attempt to build a Marxist movement, a movement that has a politics and a program that is not based upon good intentions and utopian thinking. They do not understand that there is a movement in the world that needs to be transformed by a Marxist politics.
When you enter the Insurgency, you are in a state of Guerrilla Warfare. You take and hold terrain with occasional bursts of raiding. Focused on harassing the enemy, moving fast, and attacking critical targets. These are the same principles of guerilla warfare you learn in basic training, but applied to a rather confusing and alien environment. When attacking one target, you use whatever resources and tactics you have available. If you haven’t been assaulting the enemy in the last half hour, then hold off attacking. Sometimes the largest group can find the most effective way to move against an enemy that is spread out and forced to live in the open. If the people you are working with are well armed and well trained, then you can team up with them as often as possible.
Guerrilla Warfare requires constant initiative, high physical fitness, and the ability to execute improvisational operations. It is not a setting for low ranking soldiery.
But seeing as Jackie’s the one who has the big bar and tends to have the common sense to come see me in my bar whenever he gets in a little too much trouble, I assume that the player really does just assume he will always come see me in mine.
But this is the level of detail they went into for this game.
Yes, they went to the trouble of making this little mistake, and I love it.
Basically what I’m saying is that council communism exists, it is in fact possible under a Leninist organization and in fact is quite relevant to the worker revolution because the workers are already in power (not only in their councils but in their factories and schools and business enterprises and whatever else).
Also, the workers always see things as a class struggle. Whether they realize it or not they look at the history of their class as having a battle between reform and revolution that often don’t seem like they’re on the same side at all times.
. You know, except that Poop got stolen by the government. And there’s a family affair involved.
No point to review this movie. As I said, it’s been fun to watch it.
They should choose good names and post socialist arguments like mine.
I am Albert Einstein and did you know that I am a socialist? You can read my essay right here!

I am a socialist, In fact I will post my essay "Why Socialism?" soon! Would you be interested in pinning it?
Hello I am world famous big brain man Albert Einstein and has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
The point is there are almost no ideological issues on which the left (including the alt-right) are actually justified in adopting “some type of bigotry” of the idiotic “leftist bigotry” accusation. Yes, not everything that the alt-right is peddling are good ideas (there are plenty of good ideas that they are selling as being stupid), but they are trying to break up a system that is giving away everyone’s money to the richest of the rich and stifling everyone else and denying people a chance to have a better life
