Profile Picture from: Twitter/X (I know, just use a nitter instance)

Banner from: Some PhilStar Picture of UPD (PH) protests on Sep21 I can’t find the link to.

My theme song: (FDJ by IFA Wartburg ft. Kasane Teto)

A comrade of the East, I come with gifts and a feast! A toast to the end of capitalism.

Anyways, yeah, I’m Caj. Just call me Caj, really. I’m that infuriating ‘leftist’ who can’t define herself of who she even is, much less what brand of anarchism/marxism I follow. I have read from both, though.

This doesn’t mean I don’t have positions, but I tend to err on the past, as I have less knowledge of it than I used to. Anyway here’s Marx:

“Workers of the world, unite!” and “Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it.”

— Karl Marx, Communist Manifesto y Theses on Feuerbach, 1848 y 1845, respectively.

    I look at the twitter (previously known as x the everything app) tweet and… there’s a lot of ‘wHy mAStoDOn?’ and yeah, its not perfect, there’s a lot of issues, some people are supporting Nostr (which even less people use!!! but, I am curious on what is the point is using one over the other, I am open to that but I dunno) but like, people who use LibreOffice and have a Mastodon Account have a large overlap but I do see where the Twitter people would still exist in that space. Still, I hope they still crosspost or something, as a major org, especially. These days, people use Twitter and see others (especially Bluseky) as weird, and Mastodon as ‘too complicated’ and everything else nonexistent, but hey, I still have a Twitter Account for Following Artists so… until Twitter collapses or something, yeah…

    About this:

    But my question to them I guess would be, how would they like to see their artwork handled in socialism and communism? In the USSR artists were employed by the state on salary to produce artworks, when it came to specific exhibitions or government campaigns. Would they be opposed to that? Art they produced through the artists’ union was typically bought by the state for a fixed one-time payment. Would they be opposed to that? The petit-bourgeois artists would.

    I’m curious if you have more info on how people have implemented art/writing in AES states, is it only through like government programs that artists get salaries? Can you work on those without explicitly being on the state’s salary? I’d love to know.
