Will check it out, thanks!

I know ;_; Maybe I need some other foundational shit I’m missing

Cool, thanks! I’ll check this out later :)

What are the most competent parties that you know of outside AES States in the organising, building, teaching and supporting? I’m trying to find more reading on the subject

Oeh new term noted, thanks. Are the Starbucks unions emerging yellowed yet? Some pretty young people leading them I hear, wonder if they’ve started off toothless due to inexperience.

Excellent point!

If you’re interested in a straightforward English language account of life in the GDR, I recommend “A Socialist Defector: From Harvard to Karl-Marx-Allee” by Victor Grossmann, who defected by way of crossing into Soviet occupied Austria.

He addresses the perks (price fixed goods (at least staples), cheap public transport, the position of and benefits to the worker) and what could be considered drawbacks by western readers (Stasi, press freedom, limited travel opportunities, industriality of the region) in a fairly evenhanded manner. It’s been years since I’ve read this so I might be a bit off base.

A good companion piece is “Stasi State or Socialist Paradise?” for a more analytical “overview” rather than the perspective of one man.

Both of these works deal with the end of the GDR and it’s bleak.

Excellently phrased, thanks. Ongoing process is all i need I reckon, cheers!

Don’t the former developers explicitly endorse piracy of it now?

Noted!

Night in the Woods is a good time then? only glancing interactions with just the fandom of it.

Excellent. Did the tetris dev really turn out to be some capitalist? what’s been his position post 1990?

Yeah Disco Elysium is a damn shame.

What was the lore with the takeover of dead cells?

Will look into Stray Bombay.

No worries, cheers!

Wow, 21 of 300 seats, and according to “Understanding the Greek Communists” (source: Jacobin, i know) in at least 2015 decent labor board presence and some prominent roles in industrial action in the mid 10s. Do you have any approachable reading about their current work?

This is amazing. There’s so many counterpoints to peoples’ claims that human nature is selfish but this is nicely put

Good term. Is there a dictionary/internall wiki page of terms emerging from lemmygrad yet?
