    I saw the original version only yesterday afternoon. How did this lose 1/4 of its height and gain a bust of Stalin in such a short time?

      Yeah. Tankies always forget you can’t have socialism without democracy, and either no government or a government that is strictly from the bottom up, and fascists gladly play along with that facade as it works in their interests.

      “Authoritarian communism” is an oxymoron.

      And not an “emphasis” kind of oxymoron like “bittersweet” or “impossible solution”, or a “poetic” kind like “living dead”.
      An “absolutely impossible” kind of oxymoron. like “married bachelor” or “squared circle”.

        “Authoritarian communism” is an oxymoron.

        The definition of “Authoritarianism” seems to be bound up in the libertarian view of free markets versus unfree governments.

        There’s a book I like called The People’s Republic of Walmart. It describes how much of the Command Economy practiced in the 60s and 70s by “authoritarian” socialist states was picked up and integrated into the corporate model in an effort to improve efficiency of supply chains and reduce the cost of industrial manufacturing. Walmart’s vertical integration follows a model that any Socialist government would laud. It just hordes the surplus for shareholders, at the expense of its employment base.

        When the Socialists were making cars in Yugoslavia with a highly efficient regional distribution of manufacturing and assembly, it was horrifying infringement on the rights of the business community. When Ford and Nissian picked up on these practices and imported them to the US and Japan, it was The Miracle of Free Market Innovation that delivered huge returns to investors.

        Liberals love to cringe and wring their hands when they hear about Lenin’s “Dictatorship of the Proletariat”. After all, how can we be free if worker’s council get to dictate our housing stock or our employment opportunities or our transit corridors or our retail inventory? But they’re utterly blaise about living under an economy whose function is dictated by a handful of corporate boards and banking executives making all the same decisions because… freedom?

          But if we dislike those corporate policies, does that mean we also dislike the socialist policies they are mimicking?

        He didn’t get called “man of steel”, good old Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili called himself that just to massage his ego. Kind of like certified Most Fuckable Twink Nick Adams proclaiming himself to be an “alpha male”.

        From what I have seen in the past, that is unironically his account and yes, self proclamimed title.

        But since every right-winger is a parody on some level, it might not even matter, because they do stuff like that either way…

      It’s the other way around.

      X is a “if you build it, they will come” situation. They were already around, they were just too cowardly to come out of the woodwork into the open.

      Apparently, deboning your meat before eating it is not “manly”. You have to chew the bones, like an “alpha wolf” or something.

        Yeah, I want to feel that bone in my mouth. Put that bone inside me, chicken. Let me suck the meat from your bone.

      GOTTEM!

      But seriously, it’s like chicken wings, without the bones. I’d not seen them until I went to the USA years and years ago. Now I see them over here in the UK too. Couldn’t say when they arrived here for sure though.

      Would you eat them if they were called “Buffalo Nuggets”? Sounds like poop to me. “Buffalo Tenders” isn’t much better, because it sounds like the nether regions of the buffalo. Chicken nuggets or chicken tenders are breaded and fried, because they are white meat and don’t have the skin of a wing. Then they are coated in buffalo wing sauce. The benefit is you can eat them whole and there’s no plate of gnawed bones leftover. You could even use a fork and keep your fingers clean.

      Nick Adams seems to think that capitalists should eat with their hands and chew meat directly from the bones of an animal.

    I respect preferred pronouns and am strongly in favor of reforming/replacing capitalism, but preferring boneless wings is a step too far.
