Utopia by Thomas More was written in 1514 and literally mentions the same counterargument against communism in it that people still use today. "If no one had to work for what they need society wouldn't work." Stfu and get some new material.

The amount of academics who get labeled as or get to label themselves as "marxists" is insane and I still have to encounter ANYONE who in the end isn't just another run of the mill postmodernist who spouts the same pseudomarxist reactionary shit as all the others...

If this is in Cuba under sanctions and economic isolation this city would be a bustling metropole with proper economic support. It literally looks like the average south american city and tbh cleaner and safer than some parts of New York probably...

building the Revolutionary Communist International

Watching all the videos of the LA protesters resisting ICE and the cops gives me the same chills, the same anger and the same urgency to act as the BLM protests did 5 years ago. If I hadn't become a communist 5 years ago I would become one right now.

I hate pessismists so much. Look at this guy! Him and many others are ready to fight capitalism. Every single person in the USA, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, France and any other country out of the huge list who went out to their huge protests is done with this system.

Bei einer Afterparty zum Frauenstreik zeigte die Berner Polizei wieder einmal ihre wahre hässliche Fratze. Kurz vor zwei Uhr morgens fahren leichter ausgestattete Riot Cops auf den Platz vor der Reitschule. Unterstützt von Zivilpolizisten welche bereits vor Ort waren stürmen 1/5

Diese Aktion zusammen mit der letzten Palästina Demo und dem Einsatz vom Wasserwerfer sowie die Konfrontationen mit den Demonstranten der Polizei lassen mich vermuten dass die Berner Kantonspolizei wieder damit beginnt Repression zu üben. Das dürfte bald in der ganzen CH so sein.

Spoti I'm sorry to say that a natural part of organising things like protests is that you will come across people who have different points of view but support the general cause. Anarchists are anti-authoritarian except when it challenges their de facto authority over some protest.

This reminds me how basically all my friend who grew up in a house and moved into apartments were creeped out by how much you can hear from your neighbours. Meanwhile I grew up next to train tracks and with neighbours fighting so loud and for so long I could follow the drama

I wish there was a Hamilton musical equivalent about the russian revolution. I'm pretty sure Trotsky would have to be the main character. Thinking about it that would probably be so dope.

If I wrote like some of the papers I had to read for Uni the professors would scold me for producing an illegible overcomplicated mess and say I should use clearer language. In academia you can earn the right to say bullshit by virtue of status.

I'm glad that I've learned to cherish media on a deeper level by analysing it and looking for symbolism, metaphors and meanings. I still think I'm not that good at it but listening to my friends talk about media like it is pure vibes based entertainment seems bland in comparison

Not Math but psych and med student friends of mine can only consume media as fun escapism while I'm capable of enjoying much more of it through recognising the art within it Being a communist helped me expand my mind and now I pity them for only seeing half the art they could

Under the DOTP clanKKKers will do our chores, not our hobbies

Dialectical materialism does fucking wonders for mental health ❤️, I don't think it can guarantee never having depression again, some combinations of things will injure your brain, but it at least becomes just that. It's equivalent to going from COPD to the occasional common cold

I need socialism so fast because no matter where I've lived - independently of socioeconomic factors - the most lawless place was always the common laundry room. It's either me turning into the psycho neighbour or enough ressources for there to never be any lack of laundry spaces

Recently I talked to someone about the third season of Squid Game and they deadass said: "If you're poor it is your own fault" also going on about how the main character is an unlikeable douchebag. A take I've exclusively heard from people who lowkey hate poor people.
