They are coming down hard on protestors because the powers the be are scared and weak. They are stretched thin and are incompetent. They lost Vietnam, they lost the Middle East, they lost Cuba, they lost North Korea, they lost Ukraine and they’ll eventually lose the world.
You are currently in the claws of the beast and the beast is dying. You will be free of it’s clutches, keep biting its hands. It’s squeezing you because your bites hurt it. Do not give up.
we are all trapped in the belly of this horrible machine, and the machine is shitting out its doodoo ass
I open up my wallet,
And it’s full of coom
I open up my wallet
A fly comes out
Comrade fly
That’s my secret friend
I am always shidding out my doo-doo ass
You know, OP’s beast metaphor was thought provoking. But this - this is poetry!
I took one long hard laugh at this one.
I’m just gonna keep farting in my bosses corner office. That’s the most praxis I can do… For now
Your bravery is inspiring. Keep farding for justiceOne time I ripped a nasty one and ran off after I fixed his outlook. When he returned, he gagged and was crying for air freshener.
The kind Vladimir Ilyich would’ve sharted in you boss’s office.
Might I introduce you to this?
Holy shit, my brother mentioned this to me
You know what is to be done…
thank you for your service 🫡
Comrade Lenin would be proud.
This deserves its own post
I haven’t taken my own life despite feeling like the world is designed to convince me to do that and that’s a fucking victory in my book
I wish I could do more to help other people but I am struggling to find a reason to live and ngl seeing a bunch of college kids out there fighting for a better future is inspiring and makes me want to stick around
In the same boat. A few months ago it got so bad I sat on the window parapet contemplating whether to do it or not, but seeing students stand up for what is right and the empire beginning to show massive cracks reminded me of why I’m still alive and why we must keep going
This was me and watching the police get absolutely overwhelmed by the BLM protestors. We really are stronger than them if we work together.
They’re afraid. They know their empire is crumbling. Communism will win
You are very brave and I’m proud of you
I hope that doesn’t sound patronizing, I mean it
Keep fighting the good fight, comrade.
One thing that helped me when I was severely suicidal a few years ago was to remind myself that this is an altered state of consciousness and the dark thoughts are not me, or at least not the me I want to be. Looking back the mind frame I was in back then is more foreign than any drunken stupor or high. This was a very bad, very long trip but it did end.
That’s something important I should keep in mind. My depression is as much an altered state as drunkenness
This is the sort of
posting I needed right now. 
Was feeling like shit about the state of the world compounded by personal life anxiety in general, so thanks comrade.
- IMO change is always inevitable. Especially with an unstable system like capitalism
Reading this at first I thought “no it won’t fail without intervention”. But this time it’s different (also arguably we just ignored fascism last time but whatever). It’s not just a single country or two, it’s basically the “world government/police” that is fascist. But we are also no longer in a mono-polar world, people have non-state affiliated media, and within the empire the lives of the empires subjects are falling apart.
The “good guy” narrative is falling apart.
But we definitely need to organize before things get too bad.
This has been thoughts whilst pooping (a subsidiary of TED talks).
Oh, absolutely. I never said we should sit idly and wait for collapse to come. That’s why I said not to give up. Do what you can, organise, be there for your comrades.
There is a course called organizing for power through the Rosa Luxemburg foundation. But be worth a look for anyone who needs help getting started.
It looks at organizing through the lens of Unions, though I suspect it’s mostly to make sure they don’t get shut down by the freedom loving German police
If that feels like it’s not much, all of those losses are a relatively short amount of time. In terms of how long systems last, ~70 years is a very short time. The Fall of the Roman Empire probably did not feel like a quick, cataclysmic event when it happened.
And the Byzantine Empire specifically lasted over 1000 years, it must’ve felt unchangeably immortal when it fell.
In fact, organizing is how we beat the fash and prevent their desire to become popular terrorists against us. Keep up the fight! We only win if we build.
They also lost the East Turkistan thing!!! Death to the CIA!!!
promise?
If you ever feel disheartened, just zoom out and look at the world as a trajectory. Study the critical flaws in Capitalism, view the cracks in Imperialism, and look to see which way the winds are blowing. Read theory, organize. Within the crumbling walls of an Imperialist state, every tool of the Bourgeoisie will be employed to retain power. Do not let them.
We can and we will do this, comrades!
yeah if it wasn’t for climate change or the fact that nearly all parts of the worlds seem to be speedrunning who can take off the lib-mask fastest and mass media wasn’t getting better and better at lobotomizing people I could maybe believe that.
