whelp the neet life is over...

now if only I could've gotten a 25 hour job, but alas... it do be the full 40 u_u, needless to say I will not be as active on here anymore, definitely won't be able to go through the entire dash every morning... maybe eventually I'll get used to the job enough to tumblr a little on company time but whether that is gonna be possible remains to be seen...

in any case thanks everyone for keeping me company during this time, I'll try my best to still check in a reasonable amount^^

it is kind of funny tbh how many ''har har I am a hardcore gamer I play dark souls git gud''-types think mapping abilities in games should be free and immediately accessible, like maybe you should git gud at navigation and remembering places before complaining that the compass takes up a charm slot lol

American 'leftist' writer covering socialist history: While many people associate socialist states with the totalitarian Soviet model which insisted on building massive walls around their political process for secrecy and control, claiming manipulatively that these walls were built for reasons of "security against Western capitalist subversion of our politics", not all socialist states have been so dictatorial or undemocratic. Consider this example of a socialist party in the Global South that arose after centuries of colonization and imperialism, yet chose to develop in a peaceful way with elections totally open to the benevolent influence of donors and private media, and budgets spent on welfare programs rather than the paranoid military expansion of the warmongering Soviets. This shows us that socialism need not be totalitarian or militant, but can be open, democratic and free :)

Readers in the West may now wonder why they have not heard of this wonderfully democratic socialist party, or why their country is today a state that struggles with immense corruption, wealth inequality, and a politics that caters more to Western markets than local development. Sadly, this is because the democratic and inclusive socialist party was overthrown after less than a decade in power due to a combination of rigged elections, military coups and color revolutions, all of which have been linked to activity by Western intelligence agencies to compromise their democratic process, build distrust and hatred against the socialist parties, and incentivize the upper classes (who had been 'democratically' allowed to participate in the political process) to sabotage the socialist movement. Tragically, this led to the butchering of all socialists and leftists in a massacre that claimed millions of lives, and the establishment of a right-wing government/dictatorship that ruled over the country for decades and turned it into a resource mine and military proxy for Western interests, growing fabulously rich in the process.

The lesson to be learned from these incidents is that the totalitarian Soviet model of government hurts not only its own citizens, but also all socialist states across the world, even the ones that are democratic, civilized and not at all savagely repressive of the upper classes. While the actions of Western intelligence can seem excessive and brutal, the presence of Stalinist regimes that call for military development, political secrecy and total opposition to all forms of 'Western interference' in defense of state socialism will necessarily lead the West to take drastic measures to prevent the rise of totalitarian regimes and Cold War anxieties, allying even with conservative groups and right-wing agents whose politics may go against the cherished ideals of Western democracy.

For socialism to thrive, it must always engage in productive dialogue with the West, keep its elections completely transparent and open to Western observation and influence, and refrain from the political extremism of Stalinism and Maoism against the imagined and manipulative threat of Western imperialist aggression. Though countless socialist states across the Global South have been crushed, we hope that the death of totalitarianism and state socialism in the Soviet Union will usher in a new era of thriving democracy in areas such as Africa, Latin America and the Middle East where the spectre of Stalinism once loomed large :)

Looking for advice here, genuinely, and feel free to delete if this is an overstep or comes off as aggression or bad faith:

Is it the obligation of marxists to not make work in genres with reactionary origins or make works based on reactionary assumptions (e.g. a cyberpunk book or action movie ttrpg)?

If not, how do you deal with it?

i mean, i think marxists have a lot of obligations and frankly none of them have to do with what kind of art you make. i don't think that matters more or less at all. and, like, respectfully, with no malice--i think you have been on tumblr a lot and held onto a lot of ideas about, like. 'irredeemable media', this looks like an ask from the midst of the steven universe discourse wars with the word 'problematic' turned to 'reactionary'.

i do think like, as an artist you do have some responsibility to grapple with the historical context of your work and the traditions you're drawing on--to bare minimum just be aware of the foundations you are working on. but i think like, the responsibilities of making art are very low-valence because unless you are part of an organized movement producing propaganda, making art is ultimately a very low impact activity

'it can be sooo stressful owning people as property. it makes sense you'd lash out every so often, i mean heck, thats why i don't wanna own any, i couldn't handle how stressful and difficult it is to have to deal with them every day. plus, I just hate the demographic of people that you're legally allowed to own, they're annoying to be around and unclean. i avoid them in public because of that, I'm glad there are so many places they're banned from' and other things you can say about children without anyone batting an eye
