Is there any way I can make my consumptuon more in line with socialism/communism?
Yes, I know there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
I still need material gods and services. How can I make the necessary purchases more ethical?
Edit: I live in Northern Europe, if that matters

How can we combat capitalism?
This is a genuine question I've been asking myself for a while now, and I would love to read your takes on it.

Happy birthday Karl Marx!
Your 'workers of the world, unite' memo still terrifies billionaires, and your beard game remains undefeated. From exposing capitalism’s contradictions to inspiring movements that toppled empires, your ideas still hit harder than a picket line. In an era of gig-economy serfdom and AI-fueled alienation, your critique feels fresher than ever. So here’s to the man who proved theory isn’t just for textbooks, it’s a weapon. ... read full post

A Marxist Perspective On AI
AI has become as a deeply polarizing issue on the left, with many people having concerns regarding its reliance on unauthorized training data, displacement of workers, lack of creativity, and environmental costs. I'm going to argue that while these critiques warrant attention, they overlook the broader systemic context. As Marxists, our focus should not be on rejecting technological advancement but on challenging the capitalist framework that shapes its use. By reframing the debate, we can recognize AI’s potential as a tool for democratizing creativity and accelerating the contradictions inherent in capitalism. ... read full post
