  • Eh, that isn’t really how Lenin describes it, maybe it is expanded on later after the October revolution. The dictatorship of the proletariat is not really a state, it cannot assume the roles of the state or the prerevolutionary state apparatus to be successful. A state specifically exists to manage irreconcilable class contradictions and the dictatorship of the proletariat exists to destroy that. It should be setting up re-callable positions directly involved with running society and quickly render itself unnecessary not to persist as a transitory state which would necessitate reconstituting prerevolutionary class. I am not sure that the lessons of the Paris Commune translate well to modern society of 9 billion people and there are many missing pieces to the withering of the state. For example his writings don’t address revolution the enterprise. Personally I think that the Democracy@Work cooperative movement at the enterprise is a prerequisite to a state revolution.

















  • Lets say one was an industrial worker making textiles at a spinning loom. Every once in a while the fibers get caught in the loom and require manual intervention to untwist the fibers. The boss doesn’t want to stop production so they ask the worker to reach into the loom, next to the fast spinning parts, and unhook the fibers. 99% of the time the worker can do this, 1% of the time they lose their arm and it gets crushed. Should they be allowed to do this? Is it consensual when an industrial worker does something unsafe at the risk of losing their job and not making money?

    From the article:

    Research shows strangulation is never a safe practice, despite a widespread belief it can be performed safely. Though it often leaves no visible injury, oxygen deprivation, even for very short moments, causes changes to the fragile structures of the brain.

    Multiple studies have specifically shown brain changes in women who have been repeatedly “choked” during sex, including markers for brain damage and disruptions in brain hemispheres linked to depression and anxiety.

    In most cases these aren’t consenting adults in their spare time. Producing pornography is a job. These people are workers. Workers need protection and regulation from exploitative capitalists who would risk the workers bodies for profit. Is that reactionary?




  • Not everything needs to be written out like you wrote for it to be understood for people who can read into context. It literally says “The government wants us to get this right” that is the crux of the message here. Nowhere in the meme does it say not to recycle or that recycling is bad, the juxtaposition is that no one is telling Meta to do anything but they are telling people to sort trash.
