That's because the DFL took advantage of a VERY brief Trifecta in the state government to pass legal weed, and now they've had to spend years waring through Republican jiggery pokery in order to even get an official management body to oversee licenses and regulation.
The mnemonics, you say?
Holy shit, what decade were you a teen? The Bill and Ted 2680s?
If are thinking about coming to the U.S. this summer for vacation, please do not. Things are bad here. Worse than the news is letting on, even. PLEASE don't come here. Things are only going to get worse this summer.
It seems like grammar pedantry knows no bounds. I updooted in retaliation. All things must be balanced.
Low rise jeans and and a tube top, counsellor?
Yes, but you assume they know literally anything about the academic system at all. They think anybody who works at a university is an "elite", and is therefore somehow being treated better than them.
Don't forget Charon!
Yes it does :)
No, they're not. They're all a lot more rural. I don't think many people consider Northfield because it's out of the way and off the freeway (and surrounded by nothing), which is one of the reasons I think it is the way it is hahaha
Northfield is progressive. All around are farms. But it's not all that far from the cities, either.
The cities are cool, and like any major metropolitan area, every neighborhood has its own vibe. Duluth is a REALLY cool city, and totally worth a look. But I ended up in this small, off the freeway, city called Northfield. It's really nice. There are plenty of jobs, lots of services, the rent is okay, and there are two liberal arts colleges here, which means that this tends to be a really progressive area
I moved to Minnesota from San Diego 5 years ago and it feels like a better decision every single day
The Black Panther Party were cool, but the PSL is a bad example, imo. They've had... issues. Really icky issues that kind of mar the whole organization. I did meet some cool former PSLers back in my DSA-LSC days, though.
I think it's personally a stretch to call Xin Jinping a Marxist, even if that's how he identifies. It kind of seems like China's just doing a capitalism, but with more steps. I don't know enough about Vietnam and Cuba, but it's my understanding that Vietnam has been slowly moving in the same state capitalist direction that China did
All of the examples I listed should meet your definition of success, right?
You said:
The nature of society has not fundamentally changed in a century, so there's no reason to think that methods of organization need to drastically change as well.
I said:
You don’t actually believe that basically nothing has changed since before the industrial revolution, do you? That seems intentionally obtuse.
How is that a straw man? It's literally what you said.
I mean, it's both. Hungary was the upper cut and Czech was the right hook. But regardless, if you don't have a blind allegiance to just any state calling itself socialist, then you probably aren't a Tankie, right?
To date, nobody has shown a more effective approach to organizing that I'm aware of.
Makhnovshchina, CNT, Rojava, Zapatistas...
Is your definition of success the establishment of a socialist state? Because anarchists are never going to do that.

You're not an anti-anarchist, and I'm not an anti-Marxist. Isn't that just enough? Spending all of your time planning for what the potential future socioeconomic system might look like isn't something that really scratches any itch that I have anymore. I'm far more concerned with what can be done right now.
