  • More like every time there's been democratically elected socialists or communists, western powers intervene with staged coups, assasinations, or embargos.

  • Its always just projection. This accurately describes capitalism.

  • [solved] Framework 13 keeps freezing after upgrade to Fedora 43: flip_done timed out

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if this is a Fedora problem, but this is a problem on a fresh install for me, so before I get too set up, I figured I can try something else. Your experience sounds a little different than mine though. I imagine an update will come around to fix this eventually, but maybe those kernel parameters will work for you?

  • I'm having the same issue. I've seen it might not just be an AMD issue, it could be a GNOME issue, and it might be a wayland issue. Its driving me crazy. Some users said they were able to fix it by setting the kernel parameter amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 which disables the Panel Self Refresh which is supposed to help with battery life. Someone said amdgpu.runpm=0 setting was also required (something to do with suspending the gpu). These didnt work for me and neither did switching desktop environments.

    Heres a link to the kernel parameter discussion, and a guide I used.

    The problem I've had with trying to debug this is that the journal logs are missing the last 5 minutes or so before the crash. I tried writing a script to log every half second, but had the same problem with missing logs. Could this indicate something? ctrl alt f3 doesn't work either when it freezes. Ran hardware tests and those all passed, BIOS and firmware are all up to date..

    Considering some distro hopping.

  • It doesn't matter if you never plan on using windows. On a new computer, there's very rarely the option not to buy the license. The retailer includes it in the cost. Linux users have been fighting this for decades.

  • Personally when I say I want to ditch capitalism, the first thing I think of, among many, is simply about democratizing the workplace. Cooperatives have proven themselves to be superior than the current private model in a variety of metrics. If we reduce the defining characteristic of capitalism as needing capital to produce more capital, the current issue is that cooperative enterprises struggle to obtain the initial capital necessary to get started. Even though they have much greater success rates, banks have historically refused to give loans to these endeavers. There exists non profits to try and fill this void but its not enough.

  • Nonviolent resistance movements are more likely to facilitate transitions from autocracy to democracy, improve democratic qualities like civil liberties, transform security forces and judicial systems in rights-respecting directions, and enhance well-being measures such as life expectancy.

    The commonly held belief that most revolutions that have happened in dictatorial regimes were bloody or violent uprisings is not borne out by historical analysis.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_revolution

    Empirical evidence strongly favors strategic, organized nonviolent resistance as the most effective path to sustainable political change.

    Political assassinations are a tool of desperation. They're effective at creating instability and further violence; counterproductive for achieving lasting political goals. They fail to eliminate the ideas, movements, and structures that person represented.

  • There's a Wikipedia page on nonviolent revolutions, so is violence itself necessary or is the threat of violence sufficient? History may not actually be in complete agreement in favor of violent resistance.

    "Nonviolent campaigns have a 53% success rate and only about a 20% rate of complete failure. Things are reversed for violent campaigns, which were only successful 23% of the time, and complete failures about 60% of the time. Violent campaigns succeeded partially in about 10% of cases, again comparing unfavorably to nonviolent campaigns, which resulted in partial successes over 20% of the time."

  • You're right, the problem is more than the cutoff, its that medical insurance is tied to employment. Say someone loses their job due to no fault of their own; company is downsizing, work is automated, the CEO buys into the AI hype to replace workers, or theres unforseen funding cuts to the organization. Then you're out of a job and don't have health insurance. Maybe your entire industry isn't hiring anymore, and the local coffee shop that's hiring doesn't offer any benefits. Of course, they won't hire you anyways because why would they want someone with an advanced degree when they expect you'll just leave as soon as you find something better. Or you need 3 years prior experience as a barista before being considered.

  • Oh I figured. I just thought it was funny. The way you worded that like you don't wear clothes anymore. I imagined someone driving to work everyday, ass to leather seats, and setting up the taco stand on the local nudist beach or something.

  • In the coop I was in, important decisions required 2/3rds majority for two meetings in a row. Talked to someone where they required consensus for all decisions, and they said it would sometimes take months of conversations until everyone agreed.

    Once a system is in place that everyone agrees with, there's hardly any need to enforce anything, but in the case there is, there'd be bylaws to fall back on to collectively enforce.

    I'm thinking in terms of what a cooperative economy would look like, so corporations and business, manufacturing and production would be run by cooperatives. I imagine there'd still need to be larger state, but why not run state and federal departments like a coop too?

  • I believe some anarchists believe that cooperatives are a good first step. This is maybe more stateless socialism, but an anarchists would prefer elected managers/leaders in such organizations be trained that their position doesn't give them any real authority over others but rather just additional responsibilities. A small example could be the wording of these positions might be different; instead of managers, they might be called coordinators.

    Cooperatives are, at least now, still currently subject to market forces, and people would would together to get things done. The sole difference being workers would have more freedom over their lives since they'd be the owners of the means of productions.
