don't you think there is some sort of a hypocrisy...
most of you are anti-corporate, anti-capitalism...
but for the gamers... the ones with a ps3, 360, or wii... those are products developed by a CORPORATION.. Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo are all 3 corporations
so you are anti-corporate.. but you have a video game console developed by a corporation...
slight of hypocrisy isn't it

Today i woke up and had some cornflakes yes kellogs cornflaks! Then i listened to a beatles record that im sure is labelled off a stereo i bought in a shop. Does this make me a hypocrite? I lived in house built by capitalists companys i work in a capitalist job does that make me a hypocrite? The only way not to be is to be homeless,unemployed (Since we are the working class movement it makes no sense) Hungry ect ect.
People enjoy making music,Games,Sports equipment ect we arnt against these we are against the fact the the capitalists are vampires and suck as much profit as they can from these industrys.

What a great question. Let me think about this for a minute.
But not without my thinking fuel:

Answer: There's nothing special about video games. You might as well ask about other forms of entertainment. Do you think commie ideology is incompatible with having fun? Ascetics can be leftists, but leftists don't have to be ascetics, I don't know anything by Marx that goes in that direction, for example. The idea of voting with your wallet and ethical consumption blahblahblah is more of a thing among people who identify as green, more precisely, among those who identify as green and are also rather well off.
Hope that helps.
Anyway, welcome. If you want to stick around as a non-leftist and argue against socialism/communism/anarchism, we have a specific subforum here called Opposing Ideologies.
