the next update is gonna be a lot better for combat and ftl travel yeah. i think it's good now though, they've come out with like four major patches and expansions. always play hyperlane only though they did a really good job on the little details, paradox games used to look like loving poo poo, just ugly garbage. they really did a good job making the portraits, ui and celestial objects look great

america is basically a fascist empire responsible for many millions of deaths in the last two decades. it’s a violent police state with the highest incarceration rate in the world ruled by comically corrupt oligarchs with a thin veneer of manufactured consent. and other places are painted as something uniquely worse?

Thug Lessons posted:none of it will change the fact that China operates under a market system just like Norway and Denmark. If you want "market socialism" then fine, I don't think anyone's arguing that China doesn't have a sort of Market Socialism in a sense, the argument is that it's soon to be the largest economy in the world and might be developing towards a goal of socialism, depending on how you feel about the CCP. I think everything rests on the intentions of a few dozen people and doing a high wire act towards communism is dangerous as hell. Xi can have the best of intentions, but if his plane crashes who is around to push a socialist vision.

that's the good thing about distributed power and democracy, you can't cut off the head. Is there some serious material basis behind China's development other than the ideals of some powerful guys?

I think the one thing that swayed me to the CCP's position was in 2013-2014 when every smart boy on NPR and the whole economic sell was that China's economy was on the verge of some collapse. It never happened. The power of centralized economic control of banks was not taken into account with the prognosticators of Economy.

gonna call bullshit on that one. you're assuming extreme competency and taking a risk that would be its own insane conspiracy theory where no one finds out the PRC is somehow funding both sides of the same conflict. which would be hosed up anyway??

is that a riddle I was talking about giving anti-communist death squads thousands of assault rifles you know I'm pretty sympathetic to your view but that's some cynical foreign policy and you shouldn't couch it in any other way, or at least give a better argument

on the comic, -there is already evidence of a revolutionary situation occurring on the ground in the mushroom kingdom. is mario depressed and in a bad place? almost certainly, but that is an understandable reaction to a realization of his previous crimes. his self-exile is a form of atonement. frankly, the mushroom kingdom does not need him as a liberator, and it’s clear that such a broken man would not be an effective fighter for socialism the koopas, too, have no obligation toward the wider society as they already exist in a stage without class or the relations of industrialized production. any marxist ethics should recognize that leading these people into this conflict would result in their wholesale slaughter. we’ve all played these videogames and frankly the koopas of the type we see here are not warriors i agree that were the koopas not merely a pastoral society, it might make sense for the koopas to arm themselves in preparation for big changes possibly coming their way. we don’t know if the character of the revolutionary event in the mushroom kingdom is bourgeois or socialist. however, this is not a realistic or fair expectation from the information we have honestly i wish them the best and i hope toad is the one to pull the trigger when princess peach’s chickens come home to roost
