That’s different question though on the census, about nationality of Polish citizens. Most of numbers of minorities with citizenship in Poland are Polish minorities who were born in Poland. Like Silesians who are not even officially considered minority and still half million of them wrote that in (in reality there’s at probably around a million of them since once the census bureau included them despite government not wanted to admit them at all). And even let’s say Polish Germans, Belorussians and Ukrainians (at least those 80000 mentioned in this census) are also living here for generations due to how frequently borders changed in last two centuries.

Polish state is also relentlessly engaging in polonisation of minorities since 1918.

This does not count Ukrainians for Poland though, even for 2022 before war there were much more of them than 2%, possibly as many as 3 million and that went up in years included here.

The only difference as compared with the old, outspoken slavery is this, that the worker of today seems to be free because he is not sold once for all, but piecemeal by the day, the week, the year, and because no one owner sells him to another, but he is forced to sell himself in this way instead, being the slave of no particular person, but of the whole property-holding class.

Fuck, i’m a robot?

Do you know which country built its railways by actual Chinese slave labour? USA.

For some reason it is always projection, even in such a completely unlikely case as this one.

Not even after their deaths, Marx already acknowledged dictatorship of the proletariat as the practical way after first proletarian revolution, Paris Commune experiences.

Can confirm, wind magic affinity especially increase

Can’t find it unfortunately

Few days ago there was thread how yuppies are getting on hallucinogens and this cause them to see the grift and stop being yuppies.

Good point, how about this?

Pedestrians: “can you please make your cars a little safer for us?”

I probably didn’t watch it. Now that it think of it, i stopped watching new marvel movies after ant-man.

Zemo? The same incompetent-but-indestructible Zemo of Hydra? Good Guy?

No, I dislike all Authoritarian regimes. I dislike single party systems.

Living in WW2 Belarus would cure you from that centrist hyperidealist nonsense. Or maybe not, there would be statistically 1/3 chance nazis would murder you.

Oh hey this is how i inform people about juche

how did Marx borrow from Proudhon?

He read Proudhon and using his work as the base of critique he worked his own theory up. Poverty of Philosophy was a major milestone in Marx theory and one of the predecessors of Capital.

while in many-parties system no party can control discourse

As someone living in a country having many-party system, the discourse is perfectly controllable in the same way they are doing it in US, just with tiny extra effort. Since 1989 we didn’t had even a single anticapitalist party in parliament despite having sometimes over a dozen of them for several years. Hell in current term we have the most parties - 17 parties + 42 independent parliamentarists on 460 seats in sejm, and still what we hear from all of them is similar on every base question - no alternative to capitalism, neoliberalism in practice, and complete submission to USA and EU in all manners.

From recent books, short stories anthology “From a Certain Point of View” have some quite good ones, can recommend.

There’s a lot of short stories about that in various books, though they tend to overuse both the tropes of banality of evil and the cackling evil maniacs.
