Had it bookmarked, so here it is.cosmonautmag.comWhat Is Missing From Your Understanding of Revolutionary Democratic CentralismSteve Bloom ruminates on the meaning and practice of democratic centralism, arguing that respect for minority positions is key to building a truly disciplined revolutionary formation. 130
Vivi @violaviolette.bsky.social · 12/10/2026This is a very good point, and also the thing that most frustrated me about trostkyists. Who still sell newspapers and organize like it's 1910. 010
Vivi @violaviolette.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I think the idea, collective action based on majority mandate, has merit, but you need to be careful to include the minority opinions, and, like keep book on what fraction had what idea, and what ended up working and such. 030
Vivi @violaviolette.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I once read a very interesting article in cosmonaut magazine, on how to do demcentralism, without aplitting like trots and sounding like a cult to outsiders. 241
Vivi @violaviolette.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Look, we love copying our icon, jesus christ, and dying. Instead of living and winning. We want to all die pure, instead of build something that needs to confront material reality and make compromises. It's easier, you see. 081
Vivi @violaviolette.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I mean, that was one of the main problems the anarchists in catalonia had, organizing their industry to fight the fascists. They were very principled, and tried their best. It just did not work and wasn't enough to win. Catalonia had immense industrial value, but they were unable to mobilize it. 030
Vivi @violaviolette.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Often these young fledgling revolutions are in horrid positions where you have the choice between a variety of loose-loose szenarios, and you gotta choose the one that keeps the project togetjer, to exist another day. Sign thedemeaning peace with the germans, and centralise power to win. 041
Vivi @violaviolette.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Yeah, I mean, moralism isn't gonna save you. It isn't going to organize a war economy, or save you from fascist uprisings. It's the opposite. If you are too nice you get genocided like the CP Indonesia. It gets you a spot in a mass grave. 271
Vivi @violaviolette.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Didn't the makhnovists raid soviet supply lines? During the civil war? And like, the young USSR directly after the peace of brest litwosk was in a horrid state, and in no position to be kind to anyone. 141
Reposted by ViviFrancis Kirkpatrick @frakirk.bsky.social · 12/10/2026That's exactly it IMO. "Why do others in my community choose to support evil" is hard to answer, and very uncomfortable to think about! I would be super relieved if ~nefarious foreign powers~ were to blame for corrupting my poor naive peers. It would also reaffirm that I'm immune to propaganda! 0286
Vivi @violaviolette.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Oh, cool! My main problem with the srory was that rita wasn't the protag. Loved it otherwise, but of course it would have been vastly improved by everyone (or at least the MC) being a woman, as always. 110
Vivi @violaviolette.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Ah, "gonamorph", sorry. Got the fake term wrong. Sounds like a special attack from an rpg 120
Vivi @violaviolette.bsky.social · 06/10/2026He is pretty funny. Tbh. Like calling people "gonadomorph" is at least new. Never heard that one before. 120
Vivi @violaviolette.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Harry Potter is not necessairy for survival or social existence, nor is it a short cut if any kind, or provides any unique service. It can be replaced by any other work of fiction. 220

Vivi @violaviolette.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Also, relatedly. I fucking hate rich people. I only once was on the guest side of some rich people event, instead of the service side, and I started envying the workers present in record time. Idotic, vapid, racist people. Like fuck me, at least they don't need to listen to them talk. Never again. 061
Vivi @violaviolette.bsky.social · 28/09/2026They mistake a pure accident of birth as actually making them intrinsically better than the rest of the world. I see this with rich people as well, who internalase their success as making them superior to the workers their wealth comes from. Probably an attempt to protect a vision of a just world. 170

Vivi @violaviolette.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I want to know why people would want to undertake a giant infrastructure problem just for datacentres, you can't even cool, or maintain. Are they just gonna relaunch these every 3 years when the parts start to fail? 020

Vivi @violaviolette.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Childrens media is highly ideological, and says a lot about the views and preconceptions of the people who produce it.(like the iraq war episode in blue, which I only heard about tbh). But i suspect most adults watching it don't do sociological analyses on those kinda products. They just consume. 180
Vivi @violaviolette.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I once got a bit in trouble with people cause I kept interpreting the childrens movies we had to watch(it sadly was obligatory), and they got annoyed cause I looking at the ideology behind the curtain. 160

Vivi @violaviolette.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I wonder how it feels to be part of a genocide. Probably not good. Depending on how good you are on compartmentalising. 000
