Also tankies claiming to be anti-imperialist when people want to leave your empire.

I actually don't know, neither happened so far. Let's find out.

Do you mean their economy and policies, or their people? In either case, I agree.

Socialized anything is not socialism either. It's just social policies.

Equal distribution is not socialism either.

Market != Capitalism. You can have a free market without capitalism, and capitalism without a free market.

The hexbears will attack me for saying that a regulated free market is good and a planned economy is bad. The others will attack me for saying that capitalism is bad and that we should have market socialism instead. But if we can't have that, a capitalist free market has proven much less bad than any planned economy, as long as it's regulated enough that it stays free.

Can confirm, not in retail but a fully remote programmer, managers are still very often concerned that "everybody has something to do" much more than "everything gets done".

The Solidarity movement, started in 1980 as a series of labor strikes, formed into a large trade union and then a political movement demanding workers' rights, actual worker control over means of production, and similar socialist policies. It finally forced and won a public election in 1989 (on the very same day of the Tiananmen square crackdown) which in turn led to the end of communist (and Russian) rule in Poland.

No, there was another one, interestingly at the exact same time, in Poland. They don't like that one either.

The burn to slow it down into a low orbit went too long, which made the resulting orbit too low (so low that it intersected the surface).

No word yet on why the burn was too long.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Deservedly so.

Neverball seems far less known than the other ones, but it's really good and has tons of levels.
