Either is fine as a discipline, as long as the program is tailored to kids her age. More important is the environment in the specific gym/dojo she goes to. It should be fun, supportive, and not put too much pressure on the kids.

You could lazily ask that question or you can actually read about how anarchist and communist societies are formed and destroyed (hint: often by outside armies when theyve only just begun). Capitalism clearly doesn’t work for anyone but the rich & powerful, so we need to try something different. No one has The One True Answer, we have to build the new world starting from where we are.

I agree that social democracy would be a big improvement over the terribly cruel form of capitalism we have today. I would make further changes than just that, but we can choose not to fight each other at least until we get that far. Organize together instead of infighting.

100% accurate! Just buy my book, app, and newsletter subscription. Plus brain pills.

Asking someone about their day just a way to check in with your partner or spouse or friend. It can be an invitation to vent about work, show interest in a project they’re working on, or offer them some adult conversation if they have been with children all day.

Recounting every detail isn’t necessary. I try to stick to funny or notable moments. It’s more a desire for connection than a desire for a precise accounting and i’m glad to skip it if there’s something more interesting to talk about.

Yeah. It’s really just making them do that kind of work. We can block those instances, though ofc it won’t truly stop them, it’ll change the cost benefit analysis.

That plus anubis or something, and whatever future tech that arises

Not OP but i’d be concerned about both

That fallacy would only apply if I had made an argument that implicitly included them as part of the left, then someone cited them as a counterexample, then I moved the goal posts to exclude them.

Although terms like left and right are fuzzy and argued over, they have to have some meaning to be useful. I’d be interested to hear how you think uncritical support of these regimes counts as being left wing.

Yup! I thought this podcast ep had some good critiques of campism (though it wasn’t the main focus of the ep) The Fire These Times: 128/ The Islamic Regime of Iran Will Fall w/ Vicky and Kiana

Tbh I wouldn’t give them even that much credit lol. It’s called “campism” and it’s just bonkers

Clothing & style

Nothing “left wing” about being a stan for China, N Korea, and Russia

Provide food, housing, clothing, and other essentials to the people for free. Help them set up their own system of mutual support and solidarity. Make money irrelevant.

the meme is about how it can be hard to face the day given work/political concerns

Cars

Back up your music data to an external & a cloud backup. Then the OS matters less.

See: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism#Etymology >

The term “libertarian” was invented by Joseph Dejacque, who was, broadly, a communist who rejected using a centralized state to move society toward communism (this is the opposite of what we now call authoritarian communists, who believe that you have to seize state power first in order to bring about a socialist and then communist society).

in the 1960s Murray Rothbard, a right-wing libertarian, popularized the term to refer to people who want zero or minimal state power and want a sort of hyper-capitalism to run everything by contract. He wrote that he specifically chose to steal the term from the left. This is considered right wing because it will make hierarchical systems, especially capitalism, much more intense and brutal. The state doesn’t usually limit the brutality of capitalism or other hierarchies, but from time to time popular movements have been able to make it do that.

In the US, most people will think you mean the Rothbard definition if you just say “libertarian” and will not really know what a “libertarian socialist” or “left-libertarian” is. American socialists will often have heard all of these terms.

it’s called discriminatory pricing and it’s supposed to be illegal

Oops let me edit the link

Communalism was theorized in the mid 20th century, we already had nation states and supranational bodies like the UN in existence. It is not a primitivist program. Instead of centralized national governance, it calls for a federation of communes and lays out a mechanism for them to make decisions over large amounts of territory/large populations as necessary via instantly-recallable delegates & community assemblies.

For perspective, hierarchical systems are not very good at governing large scale complex populations, as we can see from all available evidence.
