There is a lot more than centrism here;

ACP, they are the remnants of the old commie left growing on the cracks of the matrix...

Watched three short videos and I have to say: this channel is hilarious. The garbage workers fight back is a load of people flipping off drivers and calling them pieces of shit, the unironic celebration of soviet and north korean communism in "americans celebrate the soviet union" is wild! And the dramatic music throughout. I honestly don't understand what vibe they are going for. Is it a satire channel? If so it's amazing work

I see, thank you for pointing out...

Also, I finally found your vibe, which I'm fine...

One day they(commies) will find their way...

One day...

No matter how long does it takes.

Ah so you weren't sharing it ironically my apologies ("centrist" threw me off) 😬

I mean they found their way in a lot of places around the world and by and large it's been a disaster. I'm a fan of Marx and think that his way of Communism would have been a whole lot nicer but his dialectic tea-leaves reading was off and the dialectic went a different way. Then you get your Leninists and Stalinists and Maoists and really what a goddamn disaster that was and it really really did not work (unless you were in the Party then you could bury your head in the sand). The vanguard idea only led to an inflation that collapsed into tyranny. The best place for the MCP to be is where they are right now: doing good things in the community. God help us all if they ever got power (though to be fair, Communism has never been tried in an industrialised economy so it could be interesting to see how that would play out but given historical precedent I wouldn't be voting for it myself).

Informative and hopefully widely read. Not only Jung’s shadow but human proclivities especially the highly exaggerated empathy and social creature ideas (which we know is exclusive and numbered at its core) come to mind here. Our natures are used more against us in politics than for us.

and this seems to fit the metamodernism thing?

Please distinguish between legal and illegal immigration….

Is that a big difference in Irish immigration? Maybe in American. It's worth factoring in but I'm not sure it changes the battlelines of the various constellations (except perhaps the paragraph about the populist Tech Right being pro skilled immigration (obviously legal))
