Well, here's the thing. With Bernie, if he gets office...hopefully he gets office, he has a chance to delay or completely redirect the inevitable. Riots, resisting, etc. It'll come if we keep the path we keep going down, and personally, I don't want the chaos that comes with that. We can do what the revolution could do peacefully, instead of a French revolution, we'd have an industrial revolution...If you get that.
That's reformism, not revolution. The problem with reformism is that it doesn't change the underlying capitalist framework and can be easily reversed (if it works at all, which is a big if).
Also, personally, I'm kind of weary on a alliance between communists, anarchists, and progressives. We want change, but not to have a complete change in our national economy. A communist or anarchist state would be...to say in the least...unproductive. A socialist state like those in Europe could prove what we need.
Maybe that's a good end result, but I think it would be a mistake to leave the radical left in the cold. Contrary to popular belief, many of them can be quite reasonable, plus they have the organizational and strategic know-how that progressives lack.. It's also worth noting that the Nordic model is far from airtight. As we speak, countries like Germany and ditching Social Democracy in favor of neoliberal capitalism.
I don't think Capitalism is the problem. It's the abuse and corruption of capitalism. When the government looks past monopolies, corruption, and tax evasion to achieve a great increase in personal profit, that's when we have a problem.
I fiercely disagree. Capitalism absolutely is the problem. It's a system in which the wealthy few exploit the labor of the many to make wild profits. It's a system that encourages us to buy things we don't need with money we don't have. It's the reason a janitor who works 40 hours a week and provides an important service can live below the poverty line. It's the reason your retail employer can fire you on the spot for merely uttering the words "labor union" in the store. It's the reason that the mass incarceration of US citizens has become a lucrative, multi-billion dollar industry. It perpetuates greed, exploitation and the destruction of the environment. It not only allows the corruption, monopolies and tax evasion you mentioned, but also INCENTIVIZES it. Capitalism IS the problem!
If you're willing to do some light reading, this article goes further in depth about the subject.
Hate to be a downer, but I don't think we can have a revolution just by voting for Bernie and other democrats
Not being a downer, yo… moreu're being realistic. You're right, it won't happen right away nor would all it take is a vote. It's a start though.
Well, maybe not quite that violent.
Yeah, would prefer not to have riots.
Point is, revolution will mostly likely come only when people become so desperate and angry that they're willing to expose themselves to the significant dangers associated with resisting the state. We also need a temporary united front between communists, anarchists and progressives

I started the channel on January 18th, so not making it to the 2 year marker would be upsetting, but I'm not gonna just lie down and take Konami's assrape. I've said so much against them, I've fought for people to know how awful they are, and I tried to help in anyway I could making sure Kojima got the credit he deserved. Out of every fucking company in the universe, I will NOT lie down and take shit from Konami, not them.

Nordic Model? What do you mean?
For the last paragraph, I'll sum it up quickly in my words. The abuse of unregulated power is what destroyed the capitalist system creating the problems you mention. I don't think Capitalism is the problem at all, it allows the people the ability to choose their own path, if it wasn't corrupted from the wealthy, and make their own choices without heavy government control. That dream could happen but we would need reforms.
I called it a political revolution because that's what it's being call. While not totally accurate of what it is, I prefer reforms to riots and revolutions.

I'm sure you aren't. I don't though, I love blood in games. In fact, all of the Silent Hill games and the original 3 resident evil games give you an option to turn blood off or make it a different color, I also do black or purple
Am I the only one who turns of blood in games when I get the chance or just most of the times?
Friends of my always bash on me when I do … morethat. Not like I have anything realy against blood in games sometimes it realy works for the story, surrounding, gameplay and other situations but most of the time it looks so FAKE or overdone. Not complaing about Assassin's Creed here but I stab this guy ONCE with a little knife. Just simple not in a fight and blood is everywhere in a second or I stab someone from behind and the hole wall is under blood.

The Social Democratic economic model used by parts of West/North Europe. It's basically liberal, welfare-state capitalism.
For the last paragraph, I'll sum it up quickly in my words. The abuse of unregulated power is what destroyed the capitalist system creating the problems you mention
Abuse? On Wall Street that's called 'good business'. They're doing exactly what they're supposed to under liberal capitalism: maximize profits and to hell with everything else..
I don't think Capitalism is the problem at all, it allows the people the ability to choose their own path, if it wasn't corrupted from the wealthy, and make their own choices without heavy government control.
Even Bernie sees that capitalism is the problem!
You're really getting into vague generalities here, but okay. I'd just like to point out that socialIsm doesn't necessarily limit economic freedoms. A lot of socialists, like myself, really prefer many aspects of the free market over a command economy, but believe that the market can only truly be free with the abolition of the capitalist system and the democratization of labor (cooperative labor instead of hierarchies).
In short, you don't have to support the capitalists in order to support a free-market.
That dream could happen but we would need reforms.
What reforms could possibly fix the current system? I'd argue that reforms aren't enough, because the capitalist class can be unfettered again as soon as another capitalist takes power.

Whatever way you enjoy your game the most is the best way to set the settings in my opinion everyone is unique and have different preferences that sounds fine

I wasn't expecting God from it (maybe because I like Jurassic Park way more than Star Wars) but I was expecting something that would't involve the same shit: say what you want about George Lucas but at least he made things appear to be original... hoping some people will wake up from their nostalgia joy-ride like they did with Jurassic World eventually and start to point out its flaws (face it, when JW came out people loved it but all these months later, most point out the stuff that's wrong with it). I bet I sound like a buzzkill but I'm not trying to ruin it for anyone else: just saying my opinion) Whateva! I'm a Saltlick and do what i want!

TR-8R is loyal and died for our sick spins don't judge
Thanks man. Fuck Konami, and I'll do my best.
Ahhh, TR-8R! It's not possible! Nobody's ever been able to summon him!
You know what's terrifying?
There's people who actually ship Kylo Ren and Rey.
I don't even get it. Didn't he like threaten to rape her?
"I can take anything I want..."
People will ship anyone with anything I guess. Hell, people shipped Rhys with Loader Bot (looking at you Blind Sniper).
Hey, man, at least it's not Jesse X Reuben!
