I don’t know if this counts as non-theory, but I’ve been reading Marx at The Arcade, recently, and I’ve found it fun. Analysis of the gaming industry.

GenZedong is the only one that comes to mind, but itt's not really book specific.
(Just pitcing in. No clue if that’s what the other guy was referring to)
BassedWarriortoMexico•🇲🇽🪧 Protests erupt in western Mexico over the assassination of the mayor of Uruapan.
2·1 month agoOoooooooh, I see. And I’m assuming that the rallying up of the people was…encouraging them to fight back? I’m honestly a bit
starved
(I currently only watch Diego Ruzzarin and listen to Soberanía)
for domestic news regarding violence, so I really don’t know that much about it.

3·1 month agoHaha, well yeah, but I was asking more about the relevance of the murder or the context of it. I know Morelia and Guerrero are not the best palces to be in right now, but I don’t know who Carlos Manzo was, or what party he was affiliated with.
I’m guessing not MORENA

Communism•How individualism and ego wrecks video game development (hypothesis)
6·1 month agoI don’t know how related it is to your question or topic, but I’m currently reading a book called Marx at the Arcade, and perhaps you would find it related to your chaos. Specially because it deals with the production or games, and also the nature of play, with a Marxist perspective.
Edit: I also made a post about an article I read, which also gives a summary of the book and is what convinced me to buy it.
(But that is more related to gamers, perhaps)

US News•US revokes visa of Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka for his support of Cuba and Palestine
2·1 month agoNobel (Dynamite) prizes being just a tool for political gain part…something something. Great for the guy for standing up against the empire.
BassedWarriortoAmérica Latina•For decades, Israel has maintained ties with some Latin American governments, offering weaponry, technology, and military training under the pretext of "security."
5·1 month agoMan, this is so infuriating. Hope south America gets its shit together soon so we can form a coherent geopolitical block and form a united front.
I don’t get this. Why is that the reason that the proeect may be destroyed?
Hahahahaha, that sounds about right.
I didn’t know about his affinity for chess. Even better
Edit: So…I bought the book, and…right there…it says something very similar.
We know, of course, that Marx had nothing to say of videogames, given they did not exist at the time (though he was a chess player, and there is even a record of a game he played after he finished writing Capital).
Bolivia with Evo?
And I guess you’re right, regarding the dire situation in south America.
I’d of course just hope that enough traction can be gained from international unity for a multipolar world alongside BRICS, or something new from south America. As to at least avoid the domestic armed struggle.
Fair. And I do believe that the party cohesion is indeed a very weak point, with the admission of questionable and figures is a huge drawback.
But when I hear talk of a revolution, and specially that only violent revolutions have been successful, I don’t know if I feel like that applies to the current state in Mexico. Any reads that you might recommend?
Viva la libertad, carajo! Ya llegó el león!
Yeah. Love to see them crumble.
Idk your thoughts on MORENA, and Sheinbaum, given that they have repeatedly shown and stated, that they are not Socialists. But I think we’re in a good spot for now, given our upstairs neighbors.
Just watched Diego Ruzzarin’s video on the subject. Such a shame. But ten again…it’s the PAN…
Has there been any sort or post or anything regarding learning theory by
alternative means?
i.e. not reading. Listening or watching or even playing?
And is there any recommended way to
learn theory?
Like picking a physical book over an e-book because it’s a more sensorial experience and helps you understand it better. (And would videogames work any better by the same logic?)
My question in both about effective learning methods, aswell as gaining a better understanding of it. And it could also encompass probably the habits aspect of reading
purposefully and consistently.
Which I believe is what is said on the general rules for independent study.










I love it, and I find it super funny, yes. And I do agree with some of you that they end up portraying Ostania more like nazism than the USSR, per se, imo.
But I do agree thta the show is very Orwellian, and wish it wasn’t. But I still find it too funny, honestly.
And given that we don’t really know what is up in Westalia, I’d say that honestly Ostania doesn’t look like USSR to me, and much more like Germany, as I mentioned before. Also the red circus guys being anti-Ostania kinda aligns with that interpretation, in my mind.
(I haven’t finished it. I’m all caught up watching the anime on Crunchyroll, but idk if it’s already finished.)
But I’d recommend it for a good laugh.
