Still gotta vote blue no matter who guys. Genocide Joe is the MOST PROGRESSIVE PRESIDENT OF OUR LIFETIME.

What, these people are complicit in a genocide and shouldn't be supported? You're just giving your vote to Trump then!

YES

If wanting to receive basic human rights (food, housing, etc.), attend education without being discriminated against for my income and mental condition, control my workplace, earn the full value of my wages, have a government actually controlled by the people, all while being politically educated in past socialist movements and their theory to achieve all these things, then I'm sure as hell am a tankie, and I don't care what online liberals say.

Stalin rules, by the way. ✊

They are evil, but that doesn't come out of nowhere. It comes from needing to violently enforce the demands of an oppressive, exploitive system.

American legal parlance is a nothingburger, not its actual real-world effects. This ruling has considerable effects in the states it's relevant in.

In certain cases with certain issues. Keep in mind that your link also contains a long list of "obsolete and vintage" products which they refuse to fully repair if at all.

Planned obsolescence.

Capitalist realism. Human society has always been able to solve its problems. The issue is capitalism — our current society — can't solve the problems it created like massive wars, hunger, regular economic crisis, and global warming.

Capitalism hasn't existed forever, and it won't exist in the future. Our civilization will solve the problem of capitalism by seeing to its abolition.

Making repairs cost so much that it's less costly to buy the latest product and throw out the old one is a part of planned obsolescence.

A new logic board costs as much as a new computer. Hard drives are impossible to replace, RAM upgrades are hard, and even opening a Mac or iPhone voids your warranty. Not to mention all their nonsense with macOS upgrade requirements, batteries, and so on.

We respect ProleWiki for what they are, but we understand that we have two different goals and nieces.

Thanks for asking that, we get that question a lot.

For one, ProleWiki follows a very narrow set of Marxist–Leninist thought. We're mainly Marxist-orientated, but seek to allow all socialists to contribute so long as they act in good faith.

ProleWiki also doesn't really allow original discourse as much as we do too.
