Soviet Snake

It is not the consciousness of men that determines their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines their consciousness.

  • If you want some more “mystery” games or something I recommend the 39 Steps, it was done by the same dude who made Beckett and it is based on one of the first “spy” novels, it’s not as spy-iest as James Bond but it was like a starting point, Hitchcock also made a film but I haven’t seen it. You don’t do much mystery solving but I find it was pretty nicely executed and short so that it makes you feel the ambiance and story without getting too heavy on the reading text part.

    Another really good one is Puzzle Agent, lol.




  • I can’t say it based on a source, but yes most likely, and if not, von Clausewitz is such a fundamental of warfare and specially of guerrilla warfare and protracted and mobile war that he would have ended up adopting some of his theory one way or another because von Clausewitz essentially changed how war was seen and performed. This, and of course Sun Tzu, Taoism and well, dialectical materialism all shaped the way Mao applied asymmetrical warfare tactics successfully.

    I’ve posted this before, which comes from a presentation a professor did on some US university about von Clausewitz and Mao which helps you understand how these concepts where applied militarily.

    If it makes you feel better I’m an Argentinian selling weed to survive, you could always be worst. Jokes aside, I feel you, but I also feel some envy, you know something very cool which yes forces you into some shitty work but at least you have that dude, my options are either working 12hs at a factory or less time with less pay on a probably worst job. You can at least work at home or with AC while you code, even if the job is shit. And well, if you want to make some money, selling weed or shrooms as a side thing if you grow it yourself can really get you out of the shit hole dude, specially in LATAM, probably most in Argentina and Brazil. I think my comment wasn’t really helpful or the most empathic, but well, don’t kill yourself irmao, you’ll get through it.















  • This is a better translation, basically it means that the ruling class produces the ideology that permeates public discourse.

    “The ideas of the ruling class are, in every epoch, the ruling ideas, i.e., the class which is the dominant material force in society is at the same time its dominant intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal also has at its disposal the means of intellectual production …”
