GenZedong

Today is the first day of Pride Month, a celebration of the Stonewall Riot in 1969. Now uprisings are breaking out all over the country. Wealthy, white gay men today might be opposed to “violence,” but the history of the LGBTQ+ movement shows that riots of oppressed people are about liberation.

From 5 years ago, reads as if written today.

Fanon quote:

Each generation must, out of relative obscurity, discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it. [...] For us who are determined to break the back of colonialism, our historic mission is to authorize every revolt, every desperate act, and every attack aborted or drowned in blood.

some insights on Japan rice crisis, the major thing i see here is that Japan rice production has been stagnant, even reduced, since the 60s, while most other countries in the region have mantained steady growth in production, particularly Vietnam and China followed by India and Thailand.

THE IMPERIAL STATE IS CURSED BY GOD AND EVERYTHING THAT STANDS BY IT WILL DIE

Also hey what's up, how are things going?

Mom says it's my turn to post the article

I have screenshotted all the answers I could but am having trouble posting them. They are still up as of time of writing.

So every once in a while an article will float around or someone at a talk will say something along the lines of "hey, turns out that the communist leaders actually believe in communism."

(I wouldn't reccomend reading/watching the first two links here. The last one is fine)

There's this article by Jacobin:https://jacobin.com/2025/02/xi-jinping-ideology-china-rivalry/

"Importantly, Rudd argues that CPC ideology is not an elite parlor game, a rhetorical weapon, a pragmatic means of control, or an analytical framework. Or rather, it isn’t just all those things. It is also, Rudd argues, genuinely believed."

There's this bit from Sarah Paine:https://youtu.be/KSCH6svGRFM

"Don't ever kid yourself that the communist party of china [hey look she said the name correctly] doesn't believe in communism"

And part of this lecture by Stephan Kotkin: https://youtu.be/sXutg47BwEU

"It turns out the communists, were communists" (this is at the very end of the video)

I find it funny that either the vast majority who claim to know so much about china/ussr etc. Who claim that the communists weren't communists show themselves to have no investigative capabilities, or that in the liberal world it's just expected that people will constantly betray their ideology for personal gain
