Well, my favorite books tend to be classic sci-fi. Asimov, Niven, Heinlein, that sort of thing. If I had to pick one absolute favorite, likely Asimov's Foundation series as a whole, since it's functionally one long book split into parts.

2019-01-11 11:34:05 UTC  

If I recall, it was originally published as a serial via magazines.

2019-01-11 11:34:29 UTC  

Have you even read Locke? <:ohsargon:451135765368274954>

2019-01-11 11:35:04 UTC  

John Locke

2019-01-11 11:35:11 UTC  

Foundation wasn't published in magazines

2019-01-11 11:35:22 UTC  

But pretty much everything about robots was

looks cool @M4Gunner

Challenger 2 is not powerful enough as main battle tank i.e. zero future proofing

2019-01-11 11:37:34 UTC  

It's fine if up against older Russian hardware in the Middle East

2019-01-11 11:38:51 UTC  

[mind you, latest Russian hardware is untested, so might actually work well against it too]

2019-01-11 11:39:01 UTC  

Ah. No, first part of Foundation was published in Astounding Science Fiction in May 1942.

2019-01-11 11:39:47 UTC  

Well, techincally, the second part. The very first part of the book was written later as a prologue.

It makes everyone equal by making everyone poor

2019-01-11 11:46:16 UTC  

Yes but how is it bad though

2019-01-11 11:46:21 UTC  

Everyone get their needs

2019-01-11 11:46:28 UTC

2019-01-11 11:46:40 UTC

2019-01-11 11:47:18 UTC

I want to pay for my own kids. Not yours Commie

2019-01-11 11:47:42 UTC  

There are commissars managing everything

2019-01-11 11:47:49 UTC  

The state pays for it

2019-01-11 11:47:59 UTC  

Are you talking about a theoretical communist economy that might actually work in a post-scarity society, or are you talking about actual communist economies that have been attempted?

The State takes my money

The state doesn't have it's own money

2019-01-11 11:48:21 UTC  

Communist economy is planned economy or command economy

2019-01-11 11:48:48 UTC  

Now right wing capitalism is always preferable

2019-01-11 11:49:25 UTC  

Mainly because its not totalitarian and is good for gdp and development without state intervenes in lots of things unlike the commie economy

2019-01-11 11:49:53 UTC  

But if you like authority and shit then commie economy works quite good

Socialist Economy is a Vampire. It requires a host

2019-01-11 11:50:20 UTC  

doesn't help that you're expected to do high skill demanding jobs and get "paid" the same as the pleb that cleans toilets

2019-01-11 11:50:27 UTC  

Socialist economy is meh

2019-01-11 11:50:39 UTC  

Is right wing capitalism a thing?
