It’s badly phrased but I think that “workers democratically control the means of production” translates to “workers own the means of production”.

So I think you are ranting over nothing.

As for worker co-ops in capitalist countries I would argue that those are indeed bubbles of socialism within a broader capitalist system. Just like you can have communes inside a capitalist country. Have you heard of socialist market economy or economic democracy?

    That’s mostly because India and China don’t have the same standard of living as Europe and the USA. Though China in particular are trying very hard to fix that. I think some anti-climate and anti-renewable forces in the USA also don’t help.

    That’s not entirely true though. Emissions from Europe aren’t really that high compared to China and India. I could be wrong but I don’t think the CCP have the same beliefs as the governments of Germany or France or even the USA.

    I don’t think this is a good example of this idea as everything the blue character says is fairly obviously propaganda. They should choose something that’s actually fairly believable if they want to make this point.

    Maybe because I wanted to know who the fuck you were talking about? I wouldn't have had to comment if you had used their actual name. If anyone had used their actual name. Then when someone asks you about it you decide to be snarky for no reason. We aren't all terminally online people who pay excessive attention to the politics of a dying nation.

    Then who are you talking about? Why would you know intricate details of another countries politics if you have never been there?

    I had to Google who that person was because why would I have any idea who some random US states person is? Apparently whatever she did she resigned from anyway. So I don't really see how this is relevant to my existence.

    When I try opening remote viewer on a computer with display scaling it scales the opposite way to what it's supposed to, making the image smaller rather than larger.

    .vv files will also try to open with kate from Firefox, even though the system default application is set correctly as it works fine from a file manager.

    This is on CachyOS with KDE.

     

    I've come to know a number of people who show lots of neurodivergent traits but who aren't necessarily autistic or otherwise neurodivergent, or are but only just cross the border. Do we have specific terms, research, or anything towards these types of people. I know at one point there was the term BAP (Broad Autism Phenotype), but this sounds very clinical. It's also personally been unusual to deal with as I can't really treat them like I would any other autistic person, or like a neurotypical.
