Feels kinda dead here. Maybe we should recruit people to join Lemmygrad
Well suggestion for recruiting techniques, all it took for me was starting to read State and revolution. Two days of that and boom suddenly I’m telling my liberal friends they are in fact not socialists at all.
Also I’m not even through the whole thing yet because I keep getting distracted, but I’ve already told several of my friends to read it because I think they, like me, will be slightly stunned when they see things from Lenin’s perspective.
Sidenote: while on the train as I’m reading, I feel the urge to talk to people about it. Unfortunately, I live in like one of the most conservative places ever, so I honestly might get shot if I start a converstation about socialism. That being said, if someone here dares me to do it I will lol
How do you get liberals to read?
Trick them into thinking they could destroy you and your ideals in an argument if they were only slightly more informed. Worked on me lol
Jk, I mean that would’ve probably worked on me, but really I started because I was genuinely curious and someone here said State and Revolution had the answers
Tbf? We also go through “phases” at times.
I’m trying here and there.
Want me to do it again?

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Today is September 13. Three years after Chinese Wikipedia chose to silence Mainland voices.
Can you elaborate on that?
After years of war between HKTW editors and WMC members, the former asked the Wikimedia Foundation to investigate the actions of the latter.
I assume Hong Kong TW? I don’t WMC either.
WMC refers to the Wikimedians of Mainland China User Group.
What was the result of the investigation?
WMF chose to ban the WMC members from the Wikimedia projects.
well we cannot have communists talking about communism, it might look good
Nobody reads EcuRed…
sadge
Taking a break from CPUSA and may not return to it, but I have an article for People’s World I’d like to publish before leaving, if I do retire.
Today I attended a statesian 9/11 memorial and I must say amerikan nationalism is insane.
First time?
Yeah. About a day later I had a close friend explain to me that the US needs to fund its military more because it might get attacked at any time. They call themself an anti-imperialist.
Bruh moment.
Due to anxiety, I didn’t go to an after school pub event and decided to deal with the frustration by drinking two whole beers in a row by myself. Gonna talk to my parents about my anxiety issues.
You might need Busporine…
On beer three now.
(I opened it so I could make this comment)
Gulp
I am now just as frustrated as the first hour of not going because classmates were sharing pictures of their night out
Take care, comrade.
Happy Birthday DPRK
Solemn Death Day, Allende’s Chile…
Rightoids in Mexico are protesting the recent reform of the Judicial Branch. It is getting crazy.
Videos of the right wing protests:
Wouldn’t surprise me if the USA is behind it
Count on it.
“Wow!” The voice on this video of Hezbollah shelling “israel” has me cracking up.
Hehehehe
It’s a day before the holiday and America deserved 9/11
look at this postsecret submission for this week lmao
I understand being a little disturbed by an event that big but like come on guys
I understand feeling lonely and desperate, but having sex with a nightlight is a new low…
If I was drinking coffee, I would have done a fucking spittake. LMAO. Thank you.
I hope the nightlight at least consented.
Hehe, you’re welcome, tovarish. Sadly, most Americans probably believe all you have to do before fucking a nightlight is turn it on.
Based and correct; infinite 9/11s on the settlers
More pro-Palestinian protests might happen on 11th September.
Despite its evidently restricted character, the [Soviet] elections in 1937 were perceived by many ordinary people as an opportunity to participate in framing a new constitutional order. The turnout reached 96.8 per cent of the electorate. Some ballots were spoilt. In one district 97 per cent of votes cast were valid, the remainder defaced in some way, or the candidate’s name erased. In Novosibirsk region the name ‘Trotsky’ was written in on one ballot, ‘I am voting for the heavenly Tsar’ on another, and ‘We are not voting’ on a third.⁹

Voot, voot, voot!
(I kid.)
“We are not voting” lmao
I admire the integrity lol
If I was a Soviet official I’d probably laugh at that ballot and frame it.
Man people really are psycho sometimes. Imagine thinking fondly of the czar in the 30s.
Why people support Monarchism is always fucking nuts and anger-inducing.
Nowadays? Well you had a “cute queen” (heavy quotes) for a while in the British monarchy. So people really didn’t experience the true “horrors” of monarchism unless you were in a third world country getting couped for private interests that the crown had a hand in.
In the 30s? IN RUSSIA? You had people who were alive under the Czar. Unbelievable.
I hope you all have a nice week :D
Yay.
You too! Juche!
So stealthy!
You too Oppo
Oppo too you
Thanks! You too, Oppo!
You too Oppo!
Alpaca disguise almost complete. Just needs trenchcoat. 🐐🐐🧥
You too oppo :D
It dont workg :(
I really need to take a break from Twitter. Literally every time I go there, it’s just right wingers being insane ghouls. Something about social media is so addicting though.
It’s gotten worse with Musk’s takeover.
Must be your country, because I find more leftist lately. Try follow @inhumansoflate1.
I’ve been in that position and it’s really difficult because obviously there are still plenty of decent users on the site, but once I got rid of it I felt a lot lighter. It’s a site that’s explicitly being marketed towards fascists or libs at best so it’s not like things are going to get any better. Plus you always have spaces like this so it’s not like you don’t have anything.
Yeah, a lot of people say the same too.
Try Blue Sky.
I stopped using twitter and reddit after Mozilla stopped working and took with it the passwords
Big oof.
Me too, it has no use for me anymore. But at the same time, somehow I feel like I have to keep debating the right wingers in the comment sections.
You don’t.
So, um, how is everyone this week, got any plans. My plans are just Essays
A couple of nights ago I had another strange dream: one about Fascists who fought for the Allies.
That would actually be a passable idea for an article seeing as how some Fascists such as Marshal Pietro Badoglio and General Mario Roatta stuck with the Kingdom of Italy until its end, and it is at least plausible that some Axis soldiers ended up in penal battalions. There was also George Lincoln Rockwell, somebody who worked for the Western Allies yet became a neofascist anyway. How I could spin all of this into an article, though, I am less sure.
I am planning on publishing an article about dogs in the Third Reich a few weeks later, but I have barely started writing it.
Just cranked out an essay, I hope I get a good grade because the instructions were very vague
