In case you or anyone else isn’t aware, there are game save converters for the Paradox grand strategy games which allow you to play from Imperator: Rome to Hearts of Iron III/IV. There’s also a “third-party” Hearts of Iron IV to Stellaris converter.

Here’s a megacampaign time-lapse example. You can find similar ones on YouTube.

That’s one way cops get the

Legends say that those that refuse to stop genocide and provide any concessions to the working class lose the election

The same goes for the previous elections. The most important elections of all time have very predictable outcomes at this point.

Perhaps, I like to give the benefit of the doubt. There is the line “We don’t put folks to death for having different opinions,” which seems to have at least a hint of sarcasm given the mass shootings that occur in America frequently.

Sometimes his songs are a bit “both sides” or liberal/(non-ML) anarchist, but I enjoy listening to them by giving them a socialist interpretation, though some lines it’s hard to do and I just ignore them. I also hope he grows and develops his consciousness more (as well as his fans), and sometimes it’s nice seeing an artist do so and witnessing their journey as they express it within their art.

Idk, I interpreted that song as sarcastic as most of his songs are.

I definitely believe the deep empathy that neurodivergents are usually better at plays a key role, along with the obsessive interests and experience of oppression/discrimination. Most autistic people struggle with keeping a job for two years, so the financial and time management struggle I believe pushes us to the left quickly.

I have noticed that many people who are disabled (such as myself who is AuDHD) or GSM/trans are usually the first to be radicalized as MLs (or at least anarchists).

I do like FRSO, too, but I learned about PSL first and they have a pre-branch in my area that I was able to join.

From my experience, if a member is a trot in PSL and become problematic, they are kicked out or drop themselves out. However, we are working with people coming from early stages of radicalizing. You’ll notice the kind of people we work with from the questions they ask on some of The People’s Forum’s classes on YouTube. Many people are still developing, and I believe PSL does pretty well with educating them.

Tbh, Idk. I believe PSL usually educates and follows ML principles but may make mistakes from time to time. I’m not sure if they have trot-like tendencies from my experience so far, but I know there are other issues that I believe they need to improve on. However, one theme of ML is that the material conditions in different nations have an impact on which methods of organization are needed for a successful revolution, and we have yet to see an advanced capitalist society turn socialist. Even if PSL isn’t perfect or may or may not be the vanguard party of America in the future, I believe the actions they are taking are helping build class consciousness, which is absolutely necessary right now. We’re having to build from scratch after COINTELPRO, which means we are still in the very early stages of organizing despite growing exponentially. I don’t think PSL is necessarily trot as we have to build class consciousness and develop a centralized party under the belly of the beast, which means we have to learn and adapt to the conditions of America and use the elections as a tool.

If PSL is anything, it’s Maoist, and they seemed to have leaned a bit on the ultra side when they first started the party, but I believe they have improved since then.

One of their old articles on China is somewhat ultra and idealist: https://www.liberationschool.org/what-do-socialists-defend-in-china-today/

I mentioned this article here where I was able to get outside perspectives.
