Subscription to a Trotskyist newspaper? Sounds odd for me.

I guess it was more of a 'magazine' than a 'newspaper', but they were an interesting group that's for sure

I'm all for open left ideas as all of us need to exchange ideas for unity and cooperation for a true revolution but aren't newspapers basically dead?

Sorry, I edited my comment, it was more of a magazine than a newspaper, but I still thought it was funny, like the exact trot stereotype lol

:awkward glance at the Red Standard:

Red Standart is an outlier but I believe that social media is a more powerful weapon and a stronger way for the revolution to take place as it has a wider mass reach.

for sure - i think newspapers have a few options to not die out - the metro/evening standard free in the city route, the local guardian free through the letter box route, or the online route. free city papers need to focus on international/nation round ups, quick news, city-wide issues and good crosswords. local papers need to focus on local news, local events and business news, localised advertising and resident issues.

i have to admit, i did a journalism degree and the death of print media makes me partially sad because its a great thing and partially angry because, like all issues in news and magazine media, its part of why i work in a shop instead of in journalism.

Papers focus too much on supernational cross border international news for some reason, they should be local and discuss local matters as a local area may be experiencing issues such as impovrishment, poverty, lack of work and other matters of importance which what local papers need to focus on due to fact that many old people and the old populace still clings on to paper backed news and paper based media along with television and radio.

local news, yes entirely. city newspapers and general news media, no i dont agree. international news is very important and the populous should be informed about the scale of the issues in the world and whats happening in the world in general.

though i also think the focus on only negative news and that positive = less "news"y is terrible for society. we dont only need to know when an earthquake has killed people or a war has started, we need to know when a nature reserve is launched to save endangered african wildlife or a peace treaty is signed.

Most decisions that increase political freedom also reduce corruption.
Keep in mind that this may not always be true, but applies for many issues.

I really don't get this game sometimes, my corruption went up over 95% once for letting working-class citizens speak at campaign events, basically lol
The other options were, IIRC, flaunting the support of a celebrity, denouncing their support and instead flaunting somebody else's, or, there was one option where you denounce her support because she is stated to be an adult film actress.

These all sound like terrible options, except for the one I chose, but, sure, double my nation's corruption now LMAO
