    Idea I just had: Wholesome old school family sitcom like The Brady Bunch, but its set in a The Dispossessed-style society where parents hold no authority. Kids run wild, hijinks ensue, family learns valuable lessons every episode. Somehow everyone still hates Jan.

    Edit: I might have re-invented Captain Fantastic

    I got a question, theory understander: In a post-state, post-collectivization society, what stops class structures and petty states from forming again, even if at small scale at first? I know this sounds a little close to the but human nature argument, but humor me. Is it that it lacks the conditions, like scarcity, for them to happen at all, or is the gist that it might as well happen, but it’s them against literally everyone?




  • I assume for the same reason Lenin supported Arthur Henderson.

    At present, British Communists very often find it hard even to approach the masses, and even to get a hearing from them. If I come out as a Communist and call upon them to vote for Henderson and against Lloyd George, they will certainly give me a hearing. And I shall be able to explain in a popular manner, not only why the Soviets are better than a parliament and why the dictatorship of the proletariat is better than the dictatorship of Churchill (disguised with the signboard of bourgeois “democracy”), but also that, with my vote, I want to support Henderson in the same way as the rope supports a hanged man—that the impending establishment of a government of the Hendersons will prove that I am right, will bring the masses over to my side, and will hasten the political death of the Hendersons and the Snowdens just as was the case with their kindred spirits in Russia and Germany.

    I might be doing good DSA chapters wrong by comparing them to the Labour guy who doesn’t like strikes lol
