Yeah, it sucks big time. We had fun times..
Hey mate. Thanks very much. I avoid abstractions for the most part, cos it's a never ending round of perpetual arguments lol. And all here have the same objective, a classless society based on workers democracy. What happens post insurrection (assuming that even happens), I dunno. The future's an unknown quantity. One thing I do know, is that if the class war steps up a gear, and then a gear some more, we're all gonna be in it together, regardless of what theoretical stance we adopt. I hope you're keeping well, and that you have a good weekend yeah
Yeah I'm good thanks, mate
Alright pal. How's things?
Thanks, I appreciate it. To be honest I support Democracy, but only in the violent and revolutionary term put forward by Aristotle. But Democratic rhetoric, I believe is Bourgeois in nature. Anyway, I have sympathies with Both Bordiga and Zizek, though probably more with Bordiga. I really appreciate Zizek a lot, don't get me wrong, but a lot of times I believe he can be pretentious and difficult. I do think he's contributed a lot, though.

Not a Korean per se. I'm an American (if I must call myself anything) living in Korea. I do aim for permanent residency in a couple years, however. As for the movement...There's not much for Revolutionary Marxism. The Socialist Party is ultra-leftist. The best thing going is probably the recently renamed United Progressive Party. They had their best general election yet and they're pro-unification, anti-us, and deeply connected to the unions. The right wing party has bounced back under the \vile but talented hand of Park Geun-hye who has been steering the party left. The farther right party is going to be dismantled soon enough (after next election) since their #s are so bad. He's not perfect, but a great resource for the state of Korean politics would be the "Ask a Korean" blog. He's got a good feature recently about the first naturalized Korean in the National Assembly (mostly single-member district-based Parliament that shares power with a directly elected prez
Thanks!
... Since the fall of the USSR, i've been impressed (and in the past few years, also dismayed) with the improvements in the system. Even with a crumbling economy and tightening of the embargo, the Cubans still have a system which is relatively free and has some democracy at the local level through the Committees for the Defence of the Revolution. I think it's incredible that Cuba, as a 3rd world nation, has managed to survive for so long without immiserating its people economically and without repressing them personally or engaging in mass state-sanctioned murders, and has not only survived but given its people and the world so much in terms of education and particularly healthcare and medicinal expertise.
