chat@hexbear.net•Can someone explain the "Permanent Revolution" Vs "Socialism in one Country" debate, I feel like I must be missing somethingEnglish
1·3 years agoThe theory of Permanent Revolution wasn’t that the USSR should have been invading and establishing socialist states in other countries. It’s more so that the Comintern (which was dominated by the USSR) should have maintained a more revolutionary line internationally. As we get into the Third Period of the Comintern and then the Popular Front we see the focus shift towards fascism and social democracy. Those debates resemble this one but I’ve already written too much.
What does this mean practically? The Soviet Union being more Rhetorically proselytizing in the League of Nations? Conducting itself with the moral character that will inspire foreign proletariat to rise up? Covertly sending (more) money and advisors to communist parties in capitalist countries? building revolutionary parties to lead uprisings sooner, like the Yugoslav Communists tried and failed at during the Interwar period? The philosophy seems coherent, but I’m struggling to think of what actions they thought were being unfairly deferred, which at all seemed remotely viable with the retrospective they had even then.

Movies & TV@hexbear.net•Just saw the Woman King, it rocksEnglish
1·3 years agoit didn’t really vibe with me, but I’ve seen some terrible takes on this movie, so I’ve kept my mouth shut. pre-colonial Africa is a historical setting I’m eager for more of, so I think it’s tragic they took the framing of “good” Dahomey vs “evil” Oyo.
If any well financed Auteurs are reading this, try making a Historical film in Damagaram.

Movies & TV@hexbear.net•[RANT] Wow, I just tried to watch The Legend of Korra for the first time. I had no idea it was this bad.English
1·3 years agoKuvira is obviously a KMT stand in. she’s a progressive force, regardless of Radio Free Earth Kingdom has to say. Ultimate proof is that the resolve the series by balkanizing the Earth Kingdom into it’s province republics so they can never again present unified resistance against military or financial imperialism.
what do you mean regardless? you literally only mentioned his code. and yeah, kiwifarms certainly has been spreading slander about him to try and ruin his reputation and hurt him emotionally. I don’t know why such a terrible person would need to have so many disproven lies told about him by incels.
shut up, that’s just slander that the worst people on the internet have been pushing, and has been discredited by real professionals.
the amount of abuse YandereDev gets make me doubt this is even true.

Chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•From the Wikipedia page on The Witcher seriesEnglish
1·3 years agoSapkowski is a troll who lies in interviews, and has never given a straight answer about where his politics lie. In the Hussite Trillogy, the main character literally says in the 2nd book that he’s joining the hussites to establish “Communism” by name which is pretty impressive considering it’s 1426.

Movies & TV@hexbear.net•Isn’t it funny how one of the most famous WWII movies is a west German movie sympathetic to nazis?English
1·3 years agoI watched Cross of Iron and I thought it was an amazing denunciation of Nazism by saying “look at these stupid, hollow men and their threadbare rationalizations, and hypocrisies, and so on” and then when I looked back at it in college when I wanted to write a paper on it, I realized, no, the director is saying “Those rationalizations are valid and completely exonerate Steiner, and the German army, and maybe even Stranksy”

1·4 years agoDamn. I thought Pao was alright, because she criticized reddit informally associating with Ghislaine Maxwell, and was forced out of reddit after she took the blame for making it more inclusive, while the new CEO kept all her changes and continued down the same path, only worse.
