The issue that some leftists have with the bans is not who is being banned, but rather that by socially accepting the bans we’re giving the companies like twitter the go-ahead to police speech on their site. This means that if they can ban right wingers for saying things they deem to be wrong, they can equally ban us for the same thing. We shouldn’t condemn the bans or ask for them to be lifted, but we should recognize that is puts us into a weaker position on capitalist websites and fear for what it portends.
What I want to know is what the CYM is going to do in the future, especially as various members age-out of the “youth” categorization. Will they become their own party? Will they become the youth wing of another ML party?

I think the trick of it is that China has changed so dramatically and so quickly people simply aren’t keeping up. They beat the US to 5g, and they’re leading the way on quantum computing all while developing domestic chip-making; simply put, China is not anymore the semi-industrial back-water it has a reputation in the west as being, and never will be again. Despite this, average Americans remember crappy plastic goods and suicide nets, and imagine a nation-wide gulag. I think it is still possible for milenials and genZ to more easily adapt to the idea of a modern China.
I’ve been thinking about the third period a lot lately, specifically the end of the third period and the dawn of united fronts. Looking at the state of the left in the west, it seems like things have become fragmented to a point that even the best of us are confused about who to support or which org…
I would love to see it made into a more high-res image for wallpapers or flags…
I’ve only gotten into guns in the past couple of years, and when I had a little more money I bought a pistol to carry and a shotgun for a couple of things. While I’m not planning on buying anything right now, I’m still planning on buying a rifle sometime soon, but what I am debating is if I should b…
As the title says, I want to know what you think about parties like Die Linke in Germany, Vänsterpartiet in Sweden, or the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (I do not mean the DSA). Each of them came into existence as a union of various socialist movements, but many communists as well. We certainl…
Mine is that International Workers Day is May 1st to commemorate the Haymarket Affair, which happened in America where labor day is conspicuously much later in the year…
Totally would, if anywhere I worked was lucky enough to be unionized.
