For those who want some lighter reading on Marx, I can recommend this. Each chapter starts with a standard anti-Marx argument and then gives the rebuttal. The left can sometimes be a bit “I can’t believe you disagree, I won’t even engage’ but this means we are often not well rehearsed to oppose the other side of the argument.

How many people use the metro and or commuter bus to work? I’m European and lived in NY but I know that public transport is very different here. I’m thinking of speed, safety, reliability, and realistic expectation to use every day - TIA!

Will Deloitte india revise offer based on the current offer?

I got offer from Deloitte for around 14.5 (fixed + variable) for 4 years of experience in SAP.

But now i have better offer for around 17 LPA.

Is it a good decision to ask Deloitte india for a revision?

What are the chances that they'll revise the offer?

Has anybody switched from Deloitte India to Usi?
How was the procedure? Did you quit the India firm and then join Usi or is an internal switch possible?

I currently work at a medium sized firm and have about two years experience in personal injury litigation. The billable hours and lack of work life balance are really getting to me and I am looking to switch to something else out of litigation, preferably in house. I am also looking to relocate to a different state. How do I go about properly marketing myself to companies that might not take my relocation and minimal experience seriously?

Would you leave a job at a startup who is still running on investment funds after almost 5-6 years of founding even though work environment is great?

Sorry if this has been asked before but anyone have recommendations for brands that typically have a thiner profile? I’m shopping around for a piece in the $1k-$2k range (willing to buy pre owned).

Welcome, comrades! My hope is for this group to be a respite from the bleak capitalist wasteland, as well as a place to share resources and information about getting organized and supporting socialist endeavors. This group needs an admin, I can't do it myself. Comment here if you're interested!

Happy Friday comrades! Sorry this place has been pretty quiet, I've been moving to a new apartment.

Fun thread time.

Comment with your favorite garbage capitalist takes on socialism. I'll start:

If you love socialism so much, why don't you empty your bank account and live as a feral mountain man in the woods?

I admitted a bunch of people just so that we can have more of a critical mass here. Welcome again comrades! Try and be respectful and above all, no simping for capitalism!

I would suggest having a thread or threads about defending socialism against capitalism. In the real world anti-socialist ideas/arguments are made all the time and for those lessed versed in socialist thought, it can be hard to defend one's position and perhaps even be persuaded bythe capitalists. Just an idea

Happy Friday comrades! How's everyone doing in the broken capitalist dystopia we find ourselves in? Any exciting plans for the weekend?

Is this a group for socialists or also for those that (in a constructive way) enjoy discussing socialism?
I’m Scandi and more social democrat than socialist, but have respect for socialists and enjoy trying to find a way to convince myself of certain aspects.

Anyone considering voting for Trump?

Would love to hear your considerations if his neo-hegalianism within economic policies are worth voting for even in the face of his fascistic tendencies

Hey. I was wondering, what are some jobs that you wouldn't take on the basis that you don't feel it's ethical? For me, I just would never work for a defense contractor or anything to do with the FBI, CIA, etc. I also don't ever plan on being a manager.

It's pretty weird to see how terrified people in the US get about the "threat to society" that socialism poses while ignoring the fascism that is *already here*.

I know you don't want another USSR, neither do I. I also don't want another Nazi Germany, so stop voting fascists into our government. The closest we have to socialists in Congress are people like Bernie, who's not starting a revolution. Meanwhile almost all of the R's in the Senate are against a bill that would prevent another coup.
