  • I think it is both. People are naturally the most revolutionary in times of crisis and struggle. It is the conditions which are created by the capitalist system that make the people feel that the system they live under is untenable, especially with rapid changes in conditions as experienced during financial crises. Many within the bourgeoise study the instability of capitalism in order to protect their capital or to profit from it.



  • A large part of the reason I prefer discussions on Lemmy over Reddit is that people will actually engage with you rationally on this site. How is it enjoyable to engage with patronising people who only pretend to address your arguments? If a Lib wandered over to Lemmygrad they’d be told why they’re wrong instead of just being immediately banned by mods or told to formally fuck off or some shit.

    Geopolitics replaces class struggle with the struggle between nations, which is obviously reactionary to everyone who understands Marxism

    Who actually sits and types that nobody is allowed to analyze any relationship between nations or else they’re a fascist? That’s clearly class reductionism to me.



  • This post seems ridiculous to me. If you would like to know why your employees are unhappy then why would you ask random strangers on the internet why they are leaving your company? If your (or anyone’s) workplace culture discourages employees to air grievances then you aren’t entitled to know why they would like to switch companies. Most likely, I think that young people don’t wish to be percieved or talked about as whiny (or any other words you can use), in the event that they raise issues which management or colleagues view as unimportant or inconsequential for the company. I’m also curious as to how you know that your Millennial team members are happy, as opposed to working just because they need the money and don’t see better opportunities elsewhere.












  • As a Scottish person, I’ve been tripped up by the slur filter only twice. Once was when I used the c word to describe Dominic Raab (I still stand by that), and the other was when I used twit by with an A instead of an I. I genuinely had no idea that it actually meant vagina! I’ve heard it since I was a child and had no idea what it actually meant.

    Still, you can’t really complain about it, it’s more of a trivial thing to people who aren’t being offensive.
