>This has nothing to do with socialism or capitalism. Capitalist states often have the same social programs, but they have well made economic policy that can generate the wealth to sustain it without forcing everyone into poverty (see Denmark, Canada, Australia, etc)

No, it has to do with socialism and capitalism, it is not capitalism that generates that wealth, resources and labour generate wealth. If it was capitalism, then why are Somalia and Liberia so poor, their capitalist wealth generating magic should protect them, shouldn't it? They are being exploited out of their resources, so they cannot generate wealth, also, Cuba is just as poor as these countries, but it fares much better, I wonder why.

It is convenient to only talk about Europe, North America and Australia when you have to defend capitalism.

And Australia doesn't even have that big of a welfare state tbh.

>Venezuela was only doing "fine" because they were filthy rich from oil.

Yes, so?

>Compare them to singapore which didn't have said luxury of ridiculous wealth under their land.

Singapore? Have you ever heard reports of people actually working there? It's rich because their workers are controlled and alienated by the state, again, you are reinforcing my point (which is Keynes point, which is everyone with a brain's point), it is not capitalism that creates wealth, but it is labour and capital.

>Imperialism is entirely separate from capitalism (mercantilist nations relied on it the most)

I am not only referring to classical imperialism, but especially to economic imperialism, which includes the exploitation of resources and of cheap labour from other countries.

>are you really fucking implying USSR / PRC didn't kill innocents what the fuck.

When did I imply it? Just saying that capitalism kills mostly innocents, also, numbers are definitely inflated, the 60 million figure for Stalin is a meme by itself, and it is literally backed up by nothing.

>Read a book

>Exploitation tends to harm the imperialist nations, and nations become wealthiest by providing the means to success to all their citizens. It just so happens that private property and free enterprise does this the best.

I love it when people tell me to read a book, when they do it's probably the only book they've ever read, and they usually feel so triumphant when they have actual literature backing up their claims, no matter the context, also, it is always by some American economist.

Anyways, I do love me some Acemoglu (studied him pretty intensely in university, and I am rather fascinated by his theory of institutions being a fundamental driver in a nation's development, with the whole inclusive v. extractive discourse), but data is against the fact that exploitation harms imperialists, it might harm the nations that imperialist companies are located into (I would need data for this though), but it does not harm said imperialist companies, and how much cheap labour and resources are exploited in both Asia and Africa should tell you figures about it. You are confusing trading with exploiting, it's the former that gives theoretical gains to the poorest nation in some macroeconomic models.

Also, if you'd like, Read a Paper, even for a capitalist right wing economist such as Allen the centralised functions of the USSR are finely designed to bring about economic growth (and the USSR was the fastest growing nation for 50 years), so your "most efficient" meme which originates with the neoclassical school is just empirically wrong, and what I already said about Cuba (thanks to the embargo it's just as poor as some African countries, but it fares much better) further cements it, and I'm saying this without even supporting the Stalin-driven USSR (guilty of following aggregate results more than worker benefit, like capitalists do).

And, alas

>Marxism is a meme. That's why it will never be taken seriously by people outside of New School or UMass (besides internet memers and autocrats), sorry son.

I don't want to be racist, but this is the final showing that you are an American kid stuck in your own all-American Neoliberal bubble; Marxism is taken seriously (very seriously) everywhere except for the country that has a strong propaganda against communism, a right wing skewed government where the """"left"""" is composed of liberals and a government and education system which are quite literally controlled by big corporations, I wonder why.

And fun fact, in the rest of the world your economics literature (not all of it of course, some of it is good, mostly from the salt lake schools) is what is being made fun of.

And since we're talking about the US, lolefficiency, more than 5 times more vacant homes than homeless people, truly a fair and efficient allocation of resources, wouldn't you think?

> Wat, the whole point of Cuba is that no one dies of poverty and starvation, everyone has a right to a home, food, schooling and medical treatment, no matter which medical treatment (changing sex is free too for example, if you were born with the wrong one for your gender). And all of this with an embargo (lifted recently, thankfully) that hindered its imports considerably; can the same be said for the US, for example?

This has nothing to do with socialism or capitalism. Capitalist states often have the same social programs, but they have well made economic policy that can generate the wealth to sustain it without forcing everyone into poverty (see Denmark, Canada, Australia, etc)

>Which has been fine until they decided to specialise too much in a single good (oil) which has many shocks in price, more of an incompetence problem than a structural one.

Venezuela was only doing "fine" because they were filthy rich from oil. When shit hit the fan they had no way to mitigate it. So instead they hire idiots who claim inflation is a capitalist conspiracy. Compare them to singapore which didn't have said luxury of ridiculous wealth under their land.

>I'm a huge critic of both Stalin and Mao (more of the former), but it must be clarified that

>1) The numbers are hugely inflated

The numbers are not inflated. Are they misleadingly thrown around? Yea. It wasn't murder, it was just the end result of elementary economic policy.

>2) It is true that capitalism and imperialism kill more, and they kill innocents.

Imperialism is entirely separate from capitalism (mercantilist nations relied on it the most), and are you really fucking implying USSR / PRC didn't kill innocents what the fuck.

>The richest countries are capitalist, it's easy for them to trick you into thinking that it's because "their system is superior" but it's actually because they exploit their workers and workers in other countries, which work in inhumane conditions to create their richness.

Read a book


Exploitation tends to harm the imperialist nations, and nations become wealthiest by providing the means to success to all their citizens. It just so happens that private property and free enterprise does this the best.

>Funny, because this description fits both neoliberalism and anarchism pretty well, but if you think that this describes Marxism, I think you should study a bit of Marxism, and not from memes.

Marxism is a meme. That's why it will never be taken seriously by people outside of New School or UMass (besides internet memers and autocrats), sorry son.

There has been a lot of different Venom series, and not a lot of them are really well-regarded. My personal recommendation would actually be the recent 2018 series by Donny Cates. It's pretty accessible for new readers, and takes a deep dive into the mythos behind the symbiote. The first collected volume comes out in December. If you want to read digital single issues, you can buy them off Comixology (a digital store), but they'll be a bit expensive.

Another popular but unconventional pick is Venom Collection by Rick Remender, in which a crippled Flash Thompson bonds with the symbiote and becomes an agent of the government.

If you're looking for the original versions of the Venom stories you see in movies or cartoons, that'll be a bit trickier, since adaptations often consolidate and prune long-running storylines that sometimes have too many crossovers and a lot of outdated 80s writing. You can try asking /r/comicbooks for more information. Also, if you have a library card, I highly recommend making an account on Hoopla Digital. You'll be able to borrow old digital comics on there.

It's $17.16, new for PS4, on Amazon right now. I picked it up last week.

They came out with the 'Foundation' update a couple month ago that essentially added a quick menu system that lets you quickly 'recharge' your tools, ship systems, shields, etc. by pressing down on the d-pad, you can build save points, signal boosters, and comm relays anywhere on a planet by pressing up, and if you find an abandoned base on a planet, you can build on to it and stuff. You can also purchase a large Frigate that acts as a mobile base/storage area that follows you to each system. You can hire aliens to work for you and maintain your bases and develop upgrades for you. I haven't done much with it yet, but I know it's all there and apparently working pretty good.

There are! Here's The Last Wish and amazon has the others as well. Thanks to the popularity of the Witcher video games, publishers jumped on the bandwagon and now the series is translated into English

This is not a new concept, private owned media will not deviate too much from the status quo that created them in the first place, and much of what Trump does is to the benefit of this status quo. [1]

Media can't be objective in criticising the military industrial complex if 2 minutes later they run Boeing and Lockheed Martin ads. That's how you get MSNBC jerking themselves over the beauty of airstrikes in Syria. [2]

Nah you just have your nostalgia googles on! That game suckz! Here is a real gamers game. Ddot Drawoh recommend it a lot, giving it a 10/5!

u/Zyrin36 · 8 pointsr/Gamingcirclejerk

What is with these games coming out and having bland box art? Almost all of them have the main character as the focus and a colored background doing a pose and that's it.

I wouldn't mind this being the cover to Death Stranding than the pictures on Amazon if that's whats going to be on the box. I have the same thoughts on the TLOU2's art at most people as well.

u/Bannedfromthenet · 2 pointsr/Gamingcirclejerk

There are lots on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/Color-Your-Young-Marvel-Skottie/dp/0785195556/

I don't know where you live, but just go to Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Five Below etc and they have them there as well.
