Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I grew up in a conservative American family and was indoctrinated with chauvinistic beliefs from the beginning. It took me years of studying political science and economics just to warm up to leftist ideas, let alone embrace them.

Finally, I decided to read “Dialectical and Historical Materialism” by Stalin off a recommendation from one of my professors and it really changed my entire interpretation of the world. That started me down a path of reading any Marxist literature I could find.

I’m curious about the path that the rest of you took to get here!

disillusioned Bernie bro here lol lol loool . I was younger than you are, now. I was a construction worker in an airport. no trees, just hot, wet, blistering concrete jungle. hearts die fast there. Two, three hundred men. Boys really. work n sleep, until the only thing i could remember was work n sleep.

Then one day, i started to itch. all at once, i could feel my skin coming alive.

It was the hexbear. They had a leak. You could feel it before you could smell it... .world panicked and ran away, but... it was new to me!

That... itch, that burn... You feel how badly she wants to explode.

Look at us. Unloved, hunted, bannin fodder, we'll all be defedded before the revolution n yet... here we are.

We're the triad, kid! we're the thing that explodes when there's too much PPB in the air! Let it in! That's freedom calling! Let it in, let it run! Let it run wild!
