What if i told you that marxist theory is not some isolated idea from a random guy but the conclusion of a scientific analysis of economic history through the lens of dialectical materialism, and built on top of the works of many other people?

An easy way too look at it is that marxism is for economics what darwinism is for biology.

The best read on this is "Dialectical and Historical materialism" by Stalin.

Im looking forward to what happens next, do they hardcode it so the runtime doesnt work if it doesnt receive a response from home, effectively making it "must be connected to internet" or will they allow us pihole users to bypass the telemetry.

Yea this is a textbook PR stunt to look like the victims and people still buy it.

Exactly countries do not exist in a vacuum. Every single country that has worked for national sovereignty (not even explicitly socialism) has been subject to brutal aggressions from imperialist countries.

Economic blockades, terrorism, invasions, coups, etc...

Reality being imperialist countries bombing you back into the stone age for not licking their boots.

Stuff must get done to achieve ideals, building a strong state to defend from imperialist threats is basic marxist theory, literally 101 stuff. Marxism is built on materialism not idealism.

You could swap unity with any company really and it would be the same. once a business goes for an IPO, whatever mission/vision it had turns into making shareholders happy and fast. Profits go directly to shareholders by stock buybacks instead of R&D/salaries, so they have to squeeze consumers more and more with the same products to keep it up. it's tragically comic that you mention Steve Jobs kinda talking about it when Apple turned into the GOAT of this stuff.
