  • Lenin was the man who pushed for the socialists in Russia to rise up in active revolution when nearly all other socialist leaders wanted to collaborate with the bourgeois government. He single-handedly made sure the October Revolution was launched an the USSR was created. He also spent lots of years arguing against other socialists who thought working inside electoral systems was the “right” way to bring about progressive changes.




  • One interesting thing I have noticed is that many of the “early adopters” are freaking out over how good “AI Search” is now. I have literally heard people say, “Google search used to be awesome, but now it sucks, but this new AI Search that I’m paying for is just as good as Google search used to be. I love it!” Which is insane to me. They do not seem to realize that a corporation has 1) given them something for free, 2) made the free thing shitty for no reason, then 3) charged them money for the thing that used to be free using a third-party app. And the tech-bros are EXCITED to be paying for this thing that used to be free. Not even realizing the amount of wasted energy, human suffering, and environmental damage is being caused by this unbelievably wasteful system. Truly a cult-leader based economy among the top 1% of earners.

    Would love to hear a more insider take on it.
