  • This interpretation is so on point that even the franchise’s only canon example of a socialist polity (Gothrul’s Needle) is meet with Jakarta-style methods by local imperial authorities instead of what Nazis would do, which is drop Cyclonic torpedoes on a socialist Hive and kill everyone

    They manage the Great Numerologia, a voting system that involves the hive’s eighty-eight million citizens in decision-making on a wide range of issues. This system is facilitated by spider-legged servitors controlled by a central ‘mother’ servitor. Despite its intent to ensure broad participation, the system is prone to manipulation by House Delaque and possibly Van Saar itself. However, the bureaucratic complexity often renders such efforts ineffective

    As an aside, 40K Cybersyn is one of the funniest pieces of lore I’ve ever come across






  • It’s incredibly disheartening that even after all these decades, examination of WHY socialism failed so utterly in MENA still isn’t given top priority, no subconsciously everyone just assumes the machiavellian supermen of the west deemed MENA socialism to fall, and it fell, just like that, cause they used religion like a pokemon, instead of clocking it was a carefully crafted subversion of proto-socialist currents within deeply religious communities

    The irony is that this is one of the easiest to solve dilemmas in socialist history, an adaptation and correction that barely take 10 mins to conceive of; “capitalism is destroying Islam, politics corrupts religion”, wow how difficult was that


  • Clerics should be carefully marginalized from political power, but the way you’re expressing and conceptualizing that necessity is the worst possible way to go about it when it comes to the region

    If you ever in a million years want socialism to even remotely have a fringe presence in the muslim world then you best drop this nonsense quick and in a hurry

    The muslim world is not the west with its slow history of secular anticlericalism born from the fractures of Christian polities, literally the ONLY THING keeping a billion muslims from hoisting the sickle and hammer is the successful Saudi-led propaganda victory that tied militant atheism to communism in the minds of practically every muslim
