This is the book that turned me into Marxism. I saw a suggestion to read it in a left-wing chanboard, bought the book, and how lucky was I that a random stranger in the internet gave me a goldmine. Once I read it, I finally realized my place as a human in time and space.

Lovely metaphor, never thought of it that way

Socialism betrayed is a good book, sometimes falls into “Great Man Theory”, but it’s overall a good analysis

I just tested it, and it should be working!

It’s correct to claim that Russia counters some expressions of US imperialism… But to call it “anti-imperialist” altogether is a big stretch…

It surely is not the case for someone going vegan or eating fast food. The only legitimate reasons to not eat meat or fast food is your own individual health, because your individual choices will only affect your individual outcomes. It’s idealist to believe choosing a different source of consumption will have an impact over the industry. For instance, McDonald’s main source of income is not even selling food, it’s rent and royalties from franchises all over the world.

The liberal part of this idea is restricting political protest or activity to what you consume, basically transforming action into another individual form of consumerism.

Boycotting is a liberal form of struggle, if you can even call it that. Because it believes that your individual choice will have an impact on the outcome of a company.

Going vegan won’t stop the meat industry from murdering millions of animals. You deciding you won’t eat from fast food companies will not affect their profits, because they exploit people internationally, and it’s unfeasible to organize a boycott in this scale.

Honestly, just eat it, let it out of your system. You will probably be disappointed at how the taste became worse over time haha. For me, it’s better to do it than keep repressing yourself, which at least for me, only makes the desire stronger

You only fear death because your mind is attached to your self, your memories, your experiences, your subjective perceptions… As an exercise, try to the remember the time before you were born. You can’t really remember anything, but you know, you can even feel it, there was just total emptiness, no subjective experience, nothing. There is nothing to be afraid of, it’s just emptiness. This, to me, was the first step in pacifying my mind in relation to death.

This policy has earned them the trust of many political actors world wide, so I doubt they would change, as it could result in diplomatic disruptions in many countries. This could be used by the US in attempts to isolate the country. But only time will tell.

That title is Meta 😂

Thank you for your response, comrade. And thank you further for your honest criticism. I’m being honest too, so if I’m sound judgemental it’s my difficulty to empathize and arrogance speaking. I’m grateful for you pointing it out to me.

Do you have any loved ones that will miss you? If so, have you talked to them about your decision?

reducing his cult of personality is a good thing as long as it’s executed right

It’s not like this “cult” is imposed from above and could be gone with a decree. The people has admiration and respect for their leader, who comes from a family of historical revolutionaries.
