As a thick skinned open minded hwite amerikkkan, hate away.
Following that logic there are millions of good yanks and we all end up good in the end :(.
Spelling error. I meant to remark the absurdity of the posting.
What is this reactionism?
I have said many embarrassing things, so perhaps that’s fair.

One must work toward one’s goals, not simply hope for them. My view of expectations is anything specific I hope for or expect will not happen (in the way or timeframe I expect). The time when such things happen is out of our control so we should just do whatever we can do today. I have general hope more than specific hope. Maybe this is another autism binary: must think through all the specifics vs refuses to think about all the specifics (I have been on the first side but had to give up).
From what I can tell there’s plenty of houses. Sure, some smaller or inefficient ones should be replaced with better ones, but generally expropriation and improvement should be enough.

I have never really masked, so I don’t question people’s motives most of the time, I just don’t care or expect friendship. Finding someone with common interests is indeed very difficult. My last friends weren’t interested in philosophy enough. Before that I talked about politics a bunch assuming if I knew enough people would understand, and some of them did, but they didn’t want to talk about it all the time. Other autistic people have boring pointless interests most of the time. I s’pose I should get organized eventually, but that takes spoons.

Relatable. I’ve spent a decent amount of time trying to perfect myself, and made lots of improvements, but I see other people be hideous in my own perception and yet have plenty of friends. It doesn’t matter how you look as long as you talk a lot in a socially respectable way about socially respectable things and reciprocate emotions, and people in long term relationships have apparently been doing so for a long time to maintain them. People talk about boring pointless things and have asymmetrical emotions most of the time, and I don’t feel like putting in effort for now. When I did put out effort to repeatedly invite neurodivergent people it kind of worked, but I am not used to such a thing in went crazy. Such a thing may happen again and I may do better, but for now idk.
Do they think it would be easier to just elect Democrat presidents and therefore fix everything totally? Plus the template’s stupid. Why would the school force Bart to write such?

Me:
It was such a good book idk how I haven't made this post yet. Just the introduction will have you hooked.

In summary, Ted Reese shows how Marxism Leninism is the way forward if we are to save the planet. It is largely a reaction to Fully Automated Luxury Communism and the general trend of people trying to reinvent socialism with utopian ideas in order to stop climate change. I actually read that right before, so it might be part of why I like this book. He explains how the TRPF is leading to the inevitable fall of capitalism in the near future. Anyone who denies that capitalism is reaching its final breaking point is in error. Labor theory of value continues to be vindicated. It's counter-tendencies cannot help it. Humanity looks pretty screwed with climate change, but socialism can enable innovation, stop extraction, and plan our way to a healthy world. Socialism will also employ easy technology and methods that capitalism refuses because it will undermine it's function. The path towards a new socialism is through studying the successes and failures of AES, not through trying to "discover" new forms, or repeating old forms. Principled Leninist tactics are the way.
This book gave me a lot of hope and I've recommended it to multiple libs (🤞). I highly recommend it.
Limitations:
It was published almost five years ago, so it's not all up to date on the geopolitics and so on. As we all know, the past few years we've had many weeks where decades happened. Reese takes a neutral position on China's socialistness, despite presenting evidence to the positive. He doesn't talk about decolonization, which makes sense for a Br*t, but that means it's not all encompassing. There is a lot of great info in there. It might not be easiest for complete newbies, but you don't have to read too much other theory first.
Here's some memes:
Long live ecosocialism!
