Confession: I have no idea what austerity is or why it's bad despite trying to look it up several times

Yeah #introduction why not, I didn't do one when I signed up.

I'm #queer, mostly in terms of orientation. Broadly masc and cis, but will take any pronouns.

I'm some sort of syncretic #communist, generally emphasizing MLM problem statements but leaning more toward libcom solutions.

Interested in #programming, theoretical #compsci, #linguistics, #philosophy, #rhetoric. I do #taichi and #wingchun.

I am the least productive productivity nut you will ever meet.

Seriously confused as to how protected feeds work here. I can look at a person's feed and see toots without any special permissions, but...then when I try to follow, it sends a request?

I do kind of miss it tbh. I don't like their views on domestic affairs but Leninist/Maoist geopolitical analysis is pretty clutch.

Like I understand the culture just skews libcom here, it's just weird to not see talk of diamat and nations and contradictions and whatnot.

Biggest difference between the local timeline here and my birdsite feed is that I don't think I've seen a single Leninist or Maoist here, which is...odd.

The opiate of the masses can be genuinely helpful when the masses are in pain and no cure is readily available. Unqualified anti-religious sentiment is a failure of compassion.

"The working people cannot purchase with their wages the wealth which they have produced". Damn, succinct and clear as hell.

I think I could have approached this with zero preparation, zero understanding of socialist thought, and still clearly understood what his beef is with the capitalist mode of production

Kropitkin's writing is WAAAAAY more poignant and evocative than Marx's, even if it may or may not lack technical acumen

Okay I'm like 5% into it and I can already definitely understand why anarchists really love the bread book

How do y'all decide what to post here and what to post on Twitter? I want to build the habit of posting here but I also don't want to just quit Twitter cold turkey

Would really love to put text in one place and have it post to both Twitter and Mastodon. I don't want to switch over all at once, and I also don't want to have to differentiate different usages for each platform

Ultimately, honestly, it was the communist caucus's statement that made me decide to attend a meeting. They articulated pretty nicely how the short-term agenda of the DSA can still become a useful catalyst for radical change by spreading class consciousness

There's this weird tension between pushing for socialism and pushing for literally any improvement, but I don't necessarily think that's an avoidable tension. Yes I want capitalism to fall, but while we're figuring out how to make that happen I also want to make it slightly less murderous

Today I went to a DSA meeting and I was honestly pretty pleased with what I saw, despite their reputation and their reformism
