Aloha and Seasons Greetings Comrades! Pull up a chair, say hello, vent, or just stare until someone screams! This is the Weekly Discussion Thread, where grain is eaten and dreams are made or something.

Only two more weeks until 2024! Almost another year closer to the inevitable victory of communism and the working class! Venceremos!

    As a personal aside, my partner is concerned that I will fall into a “conspiracy theory” or “cult” bubble due to my ML leanings

    That’s why it’s important not to fall into the old Soviet way of having a Marx or Lenin quote for everything. It’s a good exercise to vulgarise dialectical materialistic analysis and back it with academic sources, as well as references to the basis of logic and the scientific method.

    Some people will still think you’re dogmatic even with that though, then a good way of staying in friendly territory is to take a shot at flat earthers and QAnon nuts from time to time
