Sounds good to me. I’d be interested in learning about Reasonably Healthy™, inexpensive food (although that obviously varies by region) that can be made in bulk, for personal use and mutual aid. I definitely agree with NSFW-flagging all pictures of meat/gore



request ambiguous, helping decline instead


I think that’ll happen if you’ve blocked the other commenter, otherwise I have no idea




it does have several hell-like characteristics, such as:

  • capitalism


I don’t understand how you tankies can support the C2P after doing such a thing, what about their freedom to be homeless


you can’t completely avoid liberals from other instances (particularly lemmy.ml), but you can avoid all posts in other instances’ communities by selecting “Local”:

the admins can block some smaller instances if they keep breaking our rules, but for comments from lemmy.ml, all you can really do is report individual users




Thank you, I’ve heard of Decolonized Buffalo but I never got around to listening to it. Hopefully there’ll be increasing success as the empire declines


it’s the same size too, you’re probably seeing the one linked in the post scaled up

here’s a slightly higher-resolution picture which I call stalin-smiling.png






Aside from blaming the USSR when Amerika was the one who provoked it by placing missiles in Turkey, isn’t that basically what happened? I only know the basics so I’m probably missing something obvious


This sounds like it should be a very prominent point for any Amerikan communist organization. Do you know of a good source for updates on the progress of decolonial efforts?



the American nation “owns” 98% of the land but occupies around a quarter of it

I had no idea it was that low. I’m not Amerikan and don’t know the details of the situation, but this sounds like a promising approach for decolonization. Has there been success in seizing/recovering those territories?



your name reminds me of that famous German theoretician who was a big influence on Lenin, unfortunately the name eludes me at the moment


fortuitously, it seems like federation with Hexbear will happen in the not-too-distant future


even 40 hours is believed to be counterproductive, but reducing working hours gives the capitalists less control 😐




paragraphs 3-5 and 6-8 are the same, looks like someone did a whoopsie when copying the Mint Press article




I agree that was a bad idea. IIRC Haz didn’t actually express any of his horrible takes during the stream, but he shouldn’t have been invited regardless. If this is a reoccurring trend with his guests, I can see your point (that doesn’t match what I’ve seen, but I haven’t been following RBN for very long)


There is certainly plenty of content discussing that, but it’s far from everything they cover. Unless you’ve heard some unacceptable stance of his (regarding landback or something similarly important) that I haven’t, I don’t see the reasoning for him being a tailist or a grifter, assuming you don’t have this view of more or less any Marxist who’s primarily a journalist or pundit


In what sense is he a tailist? As far as I know, relying on donations is fairly common for independent journalists and political activists, and he isn’t exactly making a lot of money



I don’t know about the other two but I wouldn’t call Nick a grifter


apparently I’m having a boomer moment wait, the Next button didn’t show up before I selected an answer



oh, I had heard some good things about him but I guess he’s just a typical anticommunist

> [...] Putin revealed that Moscow’s tactical nuclear weapons might arrive in Belarus as early as this summer amid Minsk’s repeated calls to deploy such weapons on its territory. > > He noted that Russia would not hand over control of any of those tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus. > > Explaining the need for the move, the Russian head of state cited the UK’s decision to provide Kiev with depleted uranium munitions earlier in March. > > Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov pointed out last week that the US had long stationed its own tactical nuclear weapons in five non-nuclear weapon states – Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Türkiye. The diplomat therefore concluded that any criticisms of Russia’s decision by the US were hypocritical. [Lukashenko basically said that he'd prefer to have all nuclear weapons destroyed, including Amerika's](https://www.rt.com/russia/574309-lukashenko-nuclear-disarmament-plan)

Amerikan diplomatic cable “glorifying” Xi (2009)
(just look past the liberal rhetoric) > [...] Xi Jinping is "exceptionally ambitious," confident and focused, and has had his "eye on the prize" from early adulthood. Unlike many youth who "made up for lost time by having fun" after the Cultural Revolution, Xi "chose to survive by becoming redder than the red." He joined the Party and began mapping out a career plan that would take him to the top of the system. In our contact's view, Xi is supremely pragmatic and a realist, driven not by ideology but by a combination of ambition and "self-protection." > Xi is not corrupt and does not care about money

What Matrix is + how to join the GenZedong Matrix space
pin
*thanks to /u/Elara, we have a Matrix server again!* ## What is Matrix? Preemptive TL;DR: `Matrix ≈ Discord - tracking + end-to-end encryption (by default)` Matrix is a protocol for real-time communication (text, audio, and video) implemented by various applications ("clients") -- the official one is [Element](https://element.io/download) for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS), but there are many others, e.g. those listed [here](https://matrix.org/clients). It's also federated, like Lemmy. To use a Matrix client, you need to make a Matrix account at one of the Matrix *homeservers* (similar to how you can make an account on lemmygrad.ml or lemmy.ml but still access both of them). We have our own Matrix homeserver at https://genzedong.xyz, and you don't need an email address to register an account there. ## How do I use it? 1. Download a Matrix client (e.g. [Element](https://element.io/download)) on whatever device you prefer. 2. Create an account in the client. You can select `genzedong.xyz` as your homeserver here; if you choose the default `matrix.org`, you'll need to enter an email address. 3. Log in. Search for the room `#welcome:genzedong.xyz` and follow the instructions there. ## How active is it? Not very active at the moment, but you -- yes, *you* (!!!) -- can help change this! Wow!

Proposal for a single “Shit Reactionaries Say” community
There are a lot of "Shit X Says" communities now, which inevitably leads to quite a few cross-posts and makes people less likely to see others' comments (e.g. someone comments on a "Shit Liberals Say" post, someone else on the "Shit Fascists Say" version of the post, etc.). It might be a good idea to just have one "Shit Reactionaries Say" community, either by creating a new one or by repurposing the most popular one (SLS), and then setting the other communities to only allow mod posts (basically read-only).\ ~Thank\ you\ for\ coming\ to\ my\ TEDxLemmygrad\ talk.\ Proposal\ co-authored\ with\ a\ second\ mysterious\ tankie~ *Addendum*: may be a good idea to also have one community for ultra-leftists separate from the one for general reactionaries.
