  • I’m something of a breakcore fan myself, I can’t say there aren’t individualists amongst the fans or artists, of course, but it’s like more genres in that regard. (Also depends on what you mean by breakcore I think cause there’s quite the dispute between oldschool breakcore fans - stuff like Venetian Snares, Alec Empire’s “The Destroyer”, etc. - and new music being labelled ‘breakcore’ but which is mostly kinda shitty drum’n’bass with creepy anime cover art).


  • Christian Contemporary - in whatever flavour. I don’t have much fondness for the church as it is and they manage to make something that’s even worse than Christian Rock which, to quote Comrade Hill: “You’re not making Christianity better you’re just making rock and roll worse.”

    Oh… maybe Martial Industrial or Neo-folk. Both of which are fucking teeming with fascists, or “apoliteic” bands. Pretty much everyone you look at in either genre is gonna be quoting Ernst Jünger and Julius Evola, amongst other more obscure fascist or fascist-adjacent ideologues. They have this romantic notion of ‘Europa’, free from the decadence of liberal democracy and multiculturalism - they’re unironic ‘RETVRN’ types.






  • The Ukraine’s (and the west’s) demands are utterly insane, but others have addressed that better. Just gonna nitpick that the USSR only put missiles in Cuba as a response to the US having stationed missiles in Turkey, right on the Soviet’s doorstep. It should be called the ‘Turkish Missile Crisis’ or the ‘NATO Missile Crisis’ - it’s always the US starting this shit and then, like an abusive partner, gaslighting the world into accepting their narrative, painting themselves as the victim when they’re the aggressor.








  • In Marxist terms, the state is a tool of class oppression, it is the machinery by which one class imposes its will on all others. Under capitalism (or rather, under a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie (DotB), like e.g. the US, UK, France, Brazil, etc.) it is the bourgeois class who controls the state and uses it to oppress the proletariat (and any remnants of prior classes like the peasantry). In a dictatorship of the proletariat (DotP), that structure is inverted and the proletariat uses the state to oppress the bourgeoisie (and any remnants of say, aristocracy or whatever).

    The idea is that in a DotP, the bourgeoisie will eventually become proletarianized and, after a long enough period when there are no more bourgeoisie, there will be no more proletariat (as classes are defined in terms of the conflict between them). Without a class system, there will be no longer any reason for the state - as that tool of class oppression to exist. All that will be left in terms of governance, will be the administration of things. You still need to manage healthcare, housing, transport, etc.
