I’m joining the Party for Socialism and Liberation. I attended a volunteer event for Greg Levy in Ohio. I am excited to be organizing with them.

Have a great week, everyone! We live in uncertain times, so it's best to stay to your goals, habits, and maintain revolutionary optimism. We don't have the luxury of nihilism!

As always, communism will win.

I'm grieving right now and it's hard. I never lost someone so close to me before. I'm mostly fine, mainly because of denial, but then it randomly hits me they're really gone and I break down. I notice that I'm more irritable and fall back on stress behaviors.

[–] burlemarx@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 2 weeks ago

I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you recover your spirit after your time of grief.

[–] prof_tincoa@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 2 weeks ago

Grief is like that, it keeps coming back in waves, even years after. Make sure to accept those feelings as a necessary part of healing. All the love, comrade!

The Netherlands is so individualistic that family bonds are becoming less strong. I haven't seen my cousins (except one) in a coupke of years. One of them has a one year old child which I've never seen. It doesn't help that we all live in different parts of the country, but still I feel like this wouldn't happen in communist countries

There's this dude at my job who has a son that has been recently diagnosed with autism and he says he doesn't know how to handle it properly yet as he has no experience with autism. The other day I caught him changing his shoes mid day because he bought new shoes and said 'yeah I always do this as I have troubles with getting used to new shoe feels often'

My friend, I may have some news for you

Wallahi my sleep schedule is cooked

I finally deleted all the social media apps off my phone because my ADHD leads me to use that effortless means of dopamine instead of genuinely fulfilling things and it just got so absurd recently

Im working on a map project for the near future (2050) if anyone has any cool ideas for countries and such in that scenario lmk

Have a good Monday comrades and here’s an Evil for morale

I'll finally visit Beijing in July. I'm currently waiting for my invitation letter for adding to my visa application. And I have to buy plane tickets while I can; their already unreasonable prices will skyrocket after the current conflict ends.

In the 2000s I was a patriot and I saw America's apparent invincibility and it made me happy.

In the 2010s I was a patriot and I saw America's apparent invincibility and it made me sad.

In the 2020s I am no longer a patriot and I see America's actual vulnerability and it makes me happy.

It's been a wild ride.

Genuinely hilarious to watch game theorists be wrong because they don't understand marxist theory or historical materialism

The United States wanted something, too: for China to get on board with a U.S.-led, liberal-democratic order and move away from its communist model. But that's not quite what happened.

The WTO rules were not written with China, or its unique economic-political structure, in mind. China has elements of a capitalist system, but is still run by a communist government. There are many influential government-owned companies (China’s oil and gas giant, Sinopec, took in more money in 2019 than any other company in the world, other than Walmart), and even private companies are heavily subjected to government influence. According to the China Daily (itself owned by the CCP), nearly 70 percent of the almost two million private companies in China had internal CCP groups in 2017.

One of the far right Dutch parties, FVD, has a guy running for the municipalities who lost his teaching job for harassing underage girls. So I went to their insta to say how cool it was of them to let a pedo run for their party and they blocked me lmao. Free speech enthusiasts btw.

I don't really get the point of "critical" in critical support. It implies theres such a thing as "uncritical" support. When would that ever be a thing? As a marxist you're always being critical. If you're critical to the point you don't support the government, then you're not doing critical support. If you support something to the point you aren't critical, you're not doing marxism.

[–] DonLongSchlong@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 2 weeks ago

Russia needs critical support because they are simply not marxist or any other flavour of leftism and therefore every pro-russia stance will be followed with that they need to fundamentally change.

This is different from, say, vietnam or china where we would criticise their approach to communism, but more in a friendly way towards comrades so that they can do better.

I think of it that it is critical that we support Iran and Russia no matter their politics and laws as long as they stay anti-imperialist whereas our support for China is a given because they are comrades.

Interesting observation by a port employee in Mexico, apparently the major ports in Mexico have had a surge in traffic by chinese ships, mostly for transboarding. So they're using these ports mostly as logistics hubs not necesarily dropping containers in Mexico. This was previously done in Panama.

This is very likely caused by the panama canal fiasco where americans forced panama to break the COSCO contract. That concession lost them a lot of business.

Far right party FVD won big in my Dutch hometown as they become the fourth largest party. Which is sad because it is a heavy working class city.

diesel prices are killing me rn, fortunately i bought 2k liters the day USrael started the terrorist campaign. Prices went from 26.4 to 29.6 mxn per liter in these 2 weeks. I am about to run out and i guess i should buy another 2k before it increases even further, DEATH TO USRAEL.

Funny side piece, 8 years ago the opposition parties in Mexico were saying that investing in oil was a investing in a sinking ship because and i quote "oil is on it's way out" (their goal complete the privatization of oil and give it to the US), now they're saying that oil prices are way too high.

hi i posted this in wrong thread but i stand by it

it is true entirely that xitter is filled with bots and it infests almost any avenue you pick, but while i’d only largely heard secondhand stories, scrolling xcancel looking at pop-culture blogs really shocks you because it’s kind of staggering the level of cultural revolution the anglosphere desperately needs in every single facet of life

and it's also happening as xi is still cracking down and being more, well, recognizably 'socialist' even to politically illiterate westerners. we have had simultaneous xi-doomposting for the last 10 years and also watched as they continued to prosper, continued to be dynamic and continue to support its population, and like, okay, are we just going to pretend a) it's doomed Gommunist/Gocialist country failed state ohhh any day now or b) big ebil Capitalist country evil evil? are we still doing this? today? on march 19th?

Yes, some will hold on to these neurotic beliefs until the grave. Parenti quote is relevant, in case you haven't seen it already.

Sometimes I'm reminded that the French speaking part of the country has a media boycot of the far right. They will not broadcast anything about them, in any way. And as a result, the far right has a very hard time getting their points across over there.
