As an adult, I pay for winrar purely because it helped me so much for free as a kid (especially pirating other software).

Communism isn’t about exegesis. It’s not about who understands the source texts or believes in the correct unadulterated virgin idea. There are many schools of communism and they have all changed with history in some way.

Lmao source please? For the church/zealots-part. Also I don’t think you understood the concept of the dictatorship of the proletariat and the way Marx uses language to get his point across. Maybe you should read more secondary literature?

Lost of syndicalists see themselves as communists. Including myself. I’ve been on the board, on the administration team and the negotiatiok team for my syndicalist union. All communism isn’t leninism.

Iirc it’s volunteers fighting with Rojava against ISIS

That’s actually pretty cool.

Really fucking blessed memory. He was one of the real ones. I’ll never forget what Aaron did.

I think some local context is worth it (I’m Swedish). This is a result of the fairly new parliamentary coalition in Sweden between the right wing conservatives and the fascist party. The position of the fascists range from that climate change is a hoax to climate policy doesn’t work. The conservatives have generally just used nuclear power as a copout so they won’t have to acknowledge that they lack any climate policy. They also have several open climate change deniers in parliament.

Since they took power, they’ve been shutting down project after project, budget after budget relating to climate policy (edit: especially when to comes to solar and wind power, and deforestation), especially after completely shutting down the department for environmental policy. So my guess is that this is mostly a way to cancel the old plan to make Sweden fossil free.
