There are a few respectable ML parties in Europe, though they are usually pretty small. Many of them are anti-EU, which isn’t a bad thing, but idk if that’s what your looking for.

I’ve heard the Belgian communists are pretty strong. Otherwise most of the “communist” organisations tend to be either Trotskyites or Maoists.

Usually you can always find a nice ML organization, it’s only a matter of how small you’re willing to go. Don’t restrain yourself to parties too. Sometimes unions or other political organizations are better. Not being registered as a party can allow for a better ability to express their stances legally, or show their commitment to not participate in bourgeois elections.

In ebil China, people are forbidden from learning about the crimes of their government…

Thankfully we don’t have that kind of brainwashing here !

By the grace of Allah, we shall bring Stalin back.

The West has fallen…

That’s really fucked up. Idk what to do. Dare them to eat a battery I suppose.

Edit : Maybe try to record the parents or grandparent. Worst case scenario, they won’t be able to blame it on anyone but themselves and you’ll have legal proof.

You should call the police or something like that at this point. At this rate it’s only a matter of time before something incredibly dangerous happens to the kid. I understand that you might want to avoid conflict or go easy on your father, but this may very well be a matter of life or death. I don’t know about the Law in your country, but in most you father could be severely punished for that kind of neglect. Try looking for someone else to babysit the kid at least.

Sure. I’m already beta-reader for a web novel, and have written a few myself. (Appeal to authority or smth) Just DM me a link or something like that, and I’ll take a look at it.

Counterpoint : French aren’t people

Nice, I hope they’ll manage to pull an article 5 on Israel too lmao.

Socialism is literally the period of transition between capitalism and communism. It’s expected to still have currency, classes, and the state. Especially as communism isn’t an internal process. Class divisions doesn’t apply purely to internal divisions, just as the state’s role as wielder of violence for one class cannot be limited internally.

You don’t wither away the state, that’s not even what “wither away” means grammatically. It’s an organic process that happens depending on way more factors than the will of the ruling class (wether the proletariat or the bourgeoisie). There is no communism button, and there never was.

Starting to intentionally weaken the state, in a context where class divisons are strong both internally and externally, is probably the best way to get yourself invaded or couped.

Beside, the workers do own the means of production in China. The communist party represents them exclusively. Last time I checked, out of the 2000 members of China’s national Congress, only 2 could be considered capitalists. Additionally the communist party has cells in every major company, and effectively all of the infrastructure and extraction industry is state-owned. Companies have no choice but to comply to will of the CPC, as the latter could simply prevent them from accessing necessary goods or services, and has demonstrated a willingness to execute rebellious CEOs.

China is no less socialist than the USSR, though maybe you would call them state capitalist too, in which case I’m afraid we simply do not have the same understanding of socialism.

Finally, let me end with a few appeals to authority.

Lenin : Source “Within the limits indicated, however, this is not at all dangerous for socialism as long as transport and large-scale industry remain in the hands of the proletariat. On the contrary, the development of capitalism, controlled and regulated by the proletarian state (i.e., “state” capitalism in this sense of the term), is advantageous and necessary in an extremely devastated and backward small-peasant country (within certain limits, of course), inasmuch as it is capable of hastening the immediate revival of peasant farming. This applies still more to concessions: without denationalising anything, the workers’ state leases certain mines, forest tracts, oilfields, and so forth, to foreign capitalists in order to obtain from them extra equipment and machinery that will enable us to accelerate the restoration of Soviet large-scale industry.”

“The dictatorship of the proletariat does not signify a cessation of the class struggle, but its continuation in a new form and with new weapons. This dictatorship is essential as long as classes exist, as long as the bourgeoisie, overthrown in one country, intensifies tenfold its attacks on socialism on an international scale.”

Engel’s “On Authority”

"Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon — authoritarian means, if such there be at all; and if the victorious party does not want to have fought in vain, it must maintain this rule by means of the terror which its arms inspire in the reactionists. Would the Paris Commune have lasted a single day if it had not made use of this authority of the armed people against the bourgeois? Should we not, on the contrary, reproach it for not having used it freely enough?

Therefore, either one of two things: either the anti-authoritarians don’t know what they’re talking about, in which case they are creating nothing but confusion; or they do know, and in that case they are betraying the movement of the proletariat. In either case they serve the reaction."

Because “state capitalism” isn’t a real thing. If capitalists do not control the economy , it’s not capitalism. In capitalist states that isn’t the case, as the state exists first and foremost to serve the interest of capital. So wether capitalists control the economy directly or through the state has negligible impact (Individual interests vs collective class interests).

On the other hand, no one in their right mind would claim that the Chinese state exists to serve the interests of capital.

“We investigated ourselves and found us to be innocent.”

I mean I guess that depends on the medium. The creator’s political positions are generally less present in drawings for example.

Though as a rabid book enjoyer, I must admit that I abandoned quite a few due to their political undertones. A nice example would be World War Z, which despite being well written (at the beginning at least) contains so much american propaganda that I sometimes got the feeling that the author had a checklist. As far as I remember, every enemy of the US is bastardized, except maybe Iran. And of course there’s bootlicking for Israel and the US.

But even then, guessing that the author is a reactionary doesn’t necessarily make their work unreadable, it depends on how much they let their thoughts transpire into their works.

I can’t believe I took this shit seriously. Ultra brainrot has traumatized me.

Wait, what happened to Scotland ?

I genuinely cannot tell wether this post and its comments are ironic or not.

Those fucking ghouls.

Pyrrhus, king of Epirus : “While he was fighting an Argive soldier, the soldier’s old mother, who was watching from a rooftop, threw a tile which knocked him from his horse and broke part of his spine, paralyzing him. Whether he was alive or not after the blow is unknown, but his death was assured when a Macedonian soldier named Zopyrus, though frightened by the look on the face of the unconscious king, hesitantly and ineptly beheaded his motionless body.”

Just a casual reminder that some of those countries jail you for opposing genocide.

Thank you for your service.
