Even in countries where they are available and there is public healthcare, adult diagnoses can cost upwards of $8000, so good luck.

Ah yes, the old TOIL that will only be allowed after post launch layoffs.

The PSL sucks. The important thing to remember is that you could literally have been in the RSDLP in 1902 and it would have felt even more cringe and useless.

The PSL leadership is deeply flawed, their chapters have the national internal organisation of a particularly incompetent slime mold, their local activists can't organise a Chook Raffle, let alone a large protest.

But until something happens and an org reaches critical mass, leftists just have to decide what shit sandwich they have to eat. Do you want to go PSL and it's general hot mess? DSA's (insert Marxists here) and its uncanny resemblance to the history-farce version of the Russian left-SRs? Or the FRSO and the fact it's nearest org is 600km away? Or you can bite the bullet and seek another tendency if you enjoy suffering.

For a lot of us older people, that meant a lot of putting up with the words "State Capitalism" all the damn time in whatever trot org was largest, so count yourself lucky.

Well I'm sure that the Sports and Culture portfolio has a lot of clout against the views of the Defense and Finance ministries.

I'm a bit more cautious given they're using an entirely novel process. Once you get below 10nm things start getting difficult.

On the other hand they've gone from nothing to 10 years behind state of the art in 3 years so...

I once convinced someone that the FBC from control was real as a bit.

In many ways you're right, but even back then parts of Lesbian seperatism had shitty, shitty takes. Janice Raymond was openly transphobic before it was cool and was ostracised from many Feminist spaces because of it. Dworkin had to put down Biological essentialist views as early as the late 70s (Warning, some SWERF shit here. Dworkin had some very traumatic experiences as a sex worker, and it resulted in a problematic but not entirely unsympathetic opposition to any and all sex work and pornography)

Yeah, it's been one since at least the 90s.

They can't even get an electric kettle like normal people so little chance of them succeeding.
