After the repeal of three agriculture bills. I am constantly seeing more and more articles in rather reputed newspapers which are saying that Free-Market economy has the power to make people richer than the socialist one. Is it true? Do we have any examples of it?
Hello band of lazy (non)working misfits!
With the recent meltdown of r/antiwork and transition to r/workreform, I'd like to go back to a conversation that i find fruitful and interesting - (That is to me the core of these subreddits : sharing our difficulties at work, and discussing/arguing for a better work model. )
So let's get at it !
Are you, as part of these subreddits, looking to (1) reform work (simply improving the conditions of the workforce like any proper social democrat strives to), (2)abolish capitalist work (that is abolishing the hierarchical structure, in which we work for a boss/capitalist that earns most of the value we produce), (3)just abolish work pure and simple ( meaning abolish any kind of labour market/division of labour) (4)( lastly) share dank memes to escape the inevitability of tomorrow morning.
Cheers lads and ladettes!
So I found a guide online
(This one to be specific https://steamsplay.com/suzerain-best-ways-how-to-pass-reformist-reform-tips/)
I followed nearly everything to a tee, and somehow I only got 122 Assembly votes. I've scoured the internet and I dont know what to do. At this point I'm starting to think its impossible due to just how much Ive seen of certian people having the same problems, and others who supposedly have done it not really helping. Its starting to piss me off. I'd really appreciate anyone who can help me, because I cant even edit the save files to fix it
Edit: I just wanted to thank everyone for being so kind and helpful. God bless you as Liliass would say, and have a wonderful day as Ciara would
Let me define my terms:
- Reformist: someone who believes in achieving political change through existing institutions; that is, non-revolutionary and possibly anti-revolutionary.
- Socialist: someone who believes in workers' ownership and control of the means of production.
For context, let's assume we are in the current day in the modern developed world, as material conditions would influence whether someone adopts a reformist or revolutionary stance.
Based simply on my definitions, I would assume that yes, you can be a reformist socialist. But I've seen a number of people here and on r/socialism claim otherwise. Are my definitions flawed or incompatible? Is there some other reason a socialist cannot be reformist?
I've played a campaign as reformist Bormann where i purged the militarist wing first and lost in the end because the reformists had too much power.
So does it matter who purge first or is it something else im missing maybe some estate i need pleasing?
So I have an idea. Suppose we have to replace Lammers in favor of someone else who can be a voice of reform inside the SS after Himmler dies then who could it be?
What do you fans and enjoyers think?
Please type your ideas below
I remember reading some article in the past month about reformist factions that undermined Stalin's power, influence and decisions in the USSR, and I believe there were quotes from Stalin about how these enemy factions were responsible for the 'cult of personality' etc.
Am I completely off base here?
It's a really interesting topic and I want to know more about it. Can't find the article in my history, and was wondering if y'all had any info on this.
Any story will do, but I'd prefer one that focuses on his struggle into making China into a democracy.
I read this many times and i don't understand why so many player thinking you need suck the conservatives dry for reform the constitution? I played in so many runs and possible ways and it is working well with full out privatisation.
Preface: along with the introduction of post modernism in western universities, another fatal blow to the Marxist Leninist movement in the west was the bastardization that liberal professors that painted themselves as red inflicted against Antonio Gramsci: from an excellent communist thinker he was turned into an “anti Stalinist” social justice warrior advocating for “proletarian freedom and democracy”.
This paved the way for the opportunist Togliattti to castrate the Communist Party of Italy of its revolutionary, anti capitalist and anti imperialist potential, turning it into a Labour style party. The leftover sections devoted to the cause were re directed into uneffective youngish spontanesim of the 1968, leading to a “cultural revolution” without class struggle or, on the contrary, into the mindless terrorism of the brigate rosse.

The cynical reformist instrumentalization of Antonio Gramsci
by Amedeo Curatoli
———
"Nothing in the political Gramsci of the legal decade (i.e. before his arrest in 1926) leads one to believe that he posed the problem of democracy in terms different from those current in the Third International, that is, that he glimpsed a regime of political democracy, representative, as a historical ground on which to advance towards socialism. We are in 1916-1926 and not in 1936-46, nor is it appropriate to give Gramsci what is Togliatti's". (Spriano, in: "Gramsci, scritti politici", Editori Riuniti, pg. XXXIV).
We, too, are inclined to distinguish in the political life of Antonio Gramsci, the decade of freedom and the decade of the Fascist imprisonment, but we make this distinction for reasons opposite to those of Spriano.
Before his arrest, says Spriano, Gramsci was a Leninist, completely aligned with the positions of the Third International, and he did not yet "glimpse" "representative democracy" as a "ground for progress towards socialism". Since Togliatti was the theorist of representative democracy as a field of advancement towards socialism, we must be careful, warns -Spriano- to keep Gramsci (before his imprisonment) well separated from Togliatti, it will not be "convenient" to give Gramsci what belongs to Togliatti. However... during his imprisonment, a miracle took place: Gramsci became the spiritual father of the Italian path to socialism and Togliatti became its executor. This is the most cynical and fraudulent of Migliore's revisionist misdeeds, in which all of Togliatti's leading theorists participated, from Na

The Pitch
Peace: an almost forgotten word to the dull conservative, and a hex to the idiotic militarist. But what is it that a soldier fights for if not that his children may see more peaceful days? Prosperity: nothing more than a tool to the cruel militarist, and a bogyman to the cowardly conservative. But why else do people labor if not to see they and their families prosper? All sons and daughters of the fatherland have bleed and sweat for decades, overcoming crises after crises with German ingenuity and strength. But we did not look before we leapt: today Germany is isolated by her own prideful boasting, her children are no better off than their fathers, and the future is just as dark.
This is not what Hitler wanted, this is not the National Socialist way! We must be bold, and radical. We shall not face our rivals with fearful paranoia, or cower behind our fortifications, or sacrifice the present for fear of the future! Instead we shall stride out onto the world stage not as a pariah, but as a beacon. Deutschland shall lead the world in science and art, in diplomacy and true morality. Our forefathers have won for us a place in the sun at last; now let us shine in it.
We have nothing to fear from foreign competition in words or goods. Instead we must embrace it and seize its spotlight for ourselves. There is no dishonor in cooperating with our peers, it is only a weak or evil man who seeks to hide himself from the world. The great beast of bolshevism has already been mortally wounded, we have all the living space our race could ever need, and only harm ourselves by continuing to pretend that we are at war. Let the Pax Germania begin!
A happy and lubricated people do not rebel. And has Germany not earned its happiness?
Thus are the hopes of the German reformists. To increase trade and warm relations with both superpowers, to bring the German son home from battle, to use Germany to usher in a new age of peace and prosperity for all. Or at least for those worthy of it. The world changing dreams of the NSDAP have not yet died, even when the people have tiered of war. The new generation of young reformist partisans are no less ambitious than their party elders, they simply direct their nationalistic ambition to a new direction. A direction they

As someone who is relatively new to reading reformist Qur’an Only translations of the Qur’an, I was quite surprised when I came across the various translations that they give for 33:56, particularly given that this verse comes up quite a bit in discussions in this sub.
Although I have some understanding of Qur’anic Arabic, it is definitely not at an academic level so I wanted to ask those in this sub who do have an advanced understanding of Qur’anic Arabic or who are more knowledgeable in translation variations, whether these translations are at all credible? I am very wary of reformist translations that massively differ from the ones that have been traditionally accepted, so would be really interested to know if the following have any real foundation.
So the traditional translation of the verse typically reads: Truly God and His angels invoke blessings upon the Prophet. O you who believe! Invoke blessings upon him, and greetings of peace! (The Study Qur’an)
Some Qur’an Only translations:
God and His controllers support the prophet. O you who acknowledge, you shall support him, and yield completely. (Edip-Layth)
God and His angels make contact with the prophet. O you who believe, you shall make contact with him, and comply completely. (The Monotheist Group)
God and His angels help and support the prophet. O you who believe, you shall help and support him, and regard him as he should be regarded. (Rashad Khalifa)
God and His angels honor the prophet. O you who believe, you shall honor him and regard him as he should be regarded. (Kassim Ahmad)
Some non Qur’an Only translations that slightly differ from the mainstream version:
Verily, God and His angels bless the Prophet: [hence,] O you who have attained to faith, bless him and give yourselves up [to his guidance] in utter self-surrender! (Muhammad Asad)
God and His angels bless the Prophet, so, believers, bless him and give yourselves up in total submission [to his message]. (Safi Kaskas)
If you could explain in the comments which translation you think is the most appropriate and why, I would be very grateful.
