What can I say? Khmer Rouge is one hell of a drug.

I hope someone maybe, y'know, tells the delusional anarchist that they're defending an insanely anti-semitic theorist.

And yet nobody ever hears about it, since it's in capitalism's best interest that nobody realizes that it runs on the back of human generosity.

Good start is your A+ certification. Most computer places require it.

I'm not any of the things on either side and I work in IT.

See, the thing is, Bakunin's theory can't be separated from his anti Semitism. His reason why the state was bad? "The Jews will control it". The argument for de-centralization? "The Jews can't control it". The only way you can put his theory into practice is with the use of rabid anti Semitism.

I started in acceptance.

Capitalism is defective. And I have never held any thoughts on the matter otherwise. A fundamental belief in capitalism never formed in the first place.

They seem to make unimportant and minor government offices for everything imaginable at this point and appoint their political friends as leaders, like some sort of aristocracy.

The thing is, even though they were outdated tools, they were representative of an industrial society. We aren't an industrial society anymore. We're an information age society. People are working in job sectors whose adjacent jobs didn't even exist when the hammer and sickle was created. In addition, especially in the imperial core states, there aren't really a whole lot of industrial workers anymore.

There is functionally, three primary outputs in Imperial Core states (whose socialists this symbol was made for):

Agriculture, usually on the backs of immigrants.

Service, on the back of service workers.

And the communications industry, on the back of IT people, which the entire world's economy and industry no longer works without.

And the symbols of those professions are, with the exception of the sickle for agriculture, not the same as the socialists that came before it. So I decided the best thing to do was to pick new ones, for the workers of the society we denizens of the imperial core now find ourselves in.

The sickle, of course, remains the symbol of agriculture.

The gear is the symbol of service workers, whose job is to keep the cogs of our world spinning.

And the microprocessor, whose existence is responsible for the IT field.

These three fields run on each other. IT runs on service, which runs on IT, and both run on agriculture, which in turn runs on the other two.

My personal kick at the can for a design is this thing I whipped up quickly.

People are starting to ask the question. The most important question of our generation.

What side are you on?

We'd probably want the cables that are reaching out to be a little simpler, but that's a great idea!

My idea would be sickle (for the migrant workers who run the remaining agricultural sectors), computer (for our information workers), and maybe either a wrench or a gear for service.

Christmas has been ruined for me. I barely participate. The season is associated with horrible customers, an out-of-control busy season, and repetitive music.

Fucking retail.

I'm Ukrainian, ethnically and culturally. While I am extremely pale skin wise, I look different, and am culturally different from those around me. Some people call me white, some don't. It's an extremely contentious topic for a lot of people. Especially where I live, we're a semi-distinct cultural group, and whether or not we're white is highly dependent on who you ask. Definitely a bit of an edge case.

Thanks!

I'm starting work on my A+ certification soon. Should help me get a better paying technician job so my finances are not as stressed.
