RIP Michael Parenti

Has anyone gotten their friends into communism?

I've seemingly started a chain reaction within my online friendgroup of people turning into leftists and getting into communism. I first got my friend into it by just talking about politics and stuff, he even used to argue with me about "communism's never worked" or "doesn't North Korea do [thing]." Eventually he switched up and I actually got him to read theory like Marx. Then, me and the first guy got another friend into it and now he's beginning his journey into theory and understanding. Today, I've just seen that 2nd guy sending another guy Principles of Communism.

It's really cool seeing people start out, how they grow and change with it.

All of these people were liberals/left-aligned/not even really interested in politics before, so, it goes to show that liberals and the such aren't always a lost cause and with some effort you can get them into it.

Have a good week everyone, stay safe.

As always, communism will win.

So we can just discuss about anything? It's the first time I open the General Discussion Thread.

I was looking for the post regarding Xi Jinping "purging" Zhang, to hear what other comrades (well read comrades) had to say about it.

The "selling nuclear secrets" story is just ridiculous.

Currently visiting the former Soviet State known as Estonia. On my way here the universe decided that the funniest thing to do was to stick a communist in a plane full of Estonian NATO soldiers with Ukraine patches and even NAFO patches lmao (grown men btw). I had to carefully hide some stickers on my phone and stuff because I had a feeling it would not be received well.

Thank you to the comrades in the EU that participated!

I had mentioned my passing desire to go on tour to the DPRK (since it's not very far from where I am now). He had said that if given the choice he would rather be shot than visit North Korea. My response was "well that's certainly a choice" hoping he would get how rediculous he sounded. Luckily my other friend pointed out that what he said was really dumb. I then had to tell them that they literally know nothing about North Korea and that they shouldn't blindly fall for propoganda. The conversation moved on after that, but it was an odd thing to hear someone say.

he was forced to listen to a liberal mention the dprk

I hope you all have a nice week :D

Last week a work colleague used a new (new for me) word "collectivist" an umbrella term under which they placed socialist, communist, fascist & nazi. I don't know where to even begin approaching this. It is like a pre-emptive dismissal of any rational discourse. :-(

My mind is still reeling after I stared at the abyss (new batch of Epstein docs) for just a little too long. If you haven't looked into it yet, please heed the warnings, there's some horrific stuff in there.

i suppose it’s cause i largely avoid western outlets but the amount of perpetual ‘China is Finished’ articles we’re apparently getting in twenty twenty six are funny as shit i almost thought theyd stop doing that

Holy shit, these latest batch of Epstein files were downright horrible. In one, they mentions the Sinaloan cartel from Mexico.

After checking it again, they deleted it https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA01660679.pdf

🫵 You WILL have hope, comrade.

If the USA collapses from within, a lot of digital infrastructure will have to be redesigned from the ground up in many countries around the world. Think of all the jobs this is gonna generate. I can already see the lines going up, maybe those tech investors should help out.

I finally started writing today. Like fully fledged fiction writing, that i finally found the inspiration for, and now I have to go to work. I'm genuinely angry rn I don't wanna stop

If you're reading this, you are now breathing consciously, feeling your tongue in your mouth, and remembering every time you saw a liberal think they're smart by citing Umberto Eco's Ur-fascism as a definition.

non ML leftists are tiresome i think i need to get off this website for a bit. also the pms + executive dysfunction combo hit this weekend. feel like shit

I think everyone should know how to download webpages from the internet to keep as a mirror on their devices. Even if there's nothing coming, it's always good to have a backup of important information.

Wget is a tool on your computer which can download entire webpages onto your computer. It downloads and all links into files. Here's a video on installing and using it, as well as a place to download it if you're on Windows.

I have personally downloaded Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, Mao, Lenin, Stalin, and the Black Panther's entire Marxist Internet Archive pages. Everything from them on that site.

Lots of chatter in OSINT channels about CENTCOM deployments. Expect some sort of US military operation In Iran or allied regions soon.

Quoting Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Europe, pg. 63:

Perhaps inevitably, the public hysteria about medical murder was stoked by incendiary manuscript pamphlets listing the names and places of residence of individual medical practitioners accused of murdering their patients.

By way of illustration, the Portuguese pamphlet Treatise in which it is proved that the New Christians of the [Hebrew] Nation who dwell in Portugal are secret Jews and in which the evils that they inflict upon Old Christians are pointed out, circulating in the 1630s, enumerated the names of fifty-one New Christian physicians, surgeons and apothecaries working in Portugal and Spain convicted by the Inquisition of crypto-Jewish beliefs and, in some cases, even of mass murder.

Looks like doxxing is an older phenomenon than I thought.

Today in thinking up new acronym meanings for USian agencies: CIA = Cartel of the Invaded Americas

I thought of it both because of CIA history of funding cartels and also as a way to flip from the bullshit claims about cartels being the reason that the US "needs to intervene" in certain countries. The US is the primary cartel and it's the one that invaded the region in the first place.

how does one approach ostensible commies/comrades doing the whole #freeiran bullshit, in the Netherlands a bunch of "pro-Palestine" orgs are outing themselves as zionist by either expressing support for "Iranian protesters" or doing a "both sides" thing where they say "fuck both the regime and the US" (whatever that means??)

should i still go to events even if the organizers parrot that imperialist bs, should one discuss it wherever possible, voice it until i get kicked out, etc

or should one boycott them and just involve oneself with the extremely few anti-imperialist orgs still present

I fucking Hate Indonesian Instagram Man, Yes There's lots of anti-government post and reels, which i like because our government is such a shithole lead by a US-Trained General.

However.. one thing i genuinly do not like about these type of post is the amount of fucking Colonial Self-Hate mentality, oh my god, Literally go for a reel or a post about pre-republic colonial-era indonesia and there's god awful comments saying how 'The dutch are peaceful' and 'The government is covering it up' acting like the dutch is like fucking saints or some shit. And yes they even Praised the criminal Bastard Daendels (a dutch Guy who literally implomentd brutal forced labor that got Workers Died of starvation, disease exhaustion etc.) Just because He 'finished' roads in One year, compare to modern indonesia infrastructure delay cause by many factors (most are corruption and incompetence i believe), i Blame on the God awful reels and shorts creators who whitewash Dutch colonial History brainwashing Indonesian Gen Z Man.

BUT.. I remember stumble accross one reel in instagram, an account (anti-government one) debunk how dogshit dutch colonial era are, but unfortunatly there are still dumbass who yaps about the dutch still lot better (spoiler alert, the dutch are not saints), had an anuerysm seeing it.

While most i see is cancerous, there are.. hidden.. Gem, Especially with PKI (the Indonesian communist party) i feel blessed to see some few comments saying 'communism is atheism is a propaganda', But other than that.

My country is Toast by (Mostly) God awful Opposition and Government

Things are working. I found a guy who was going to a protest later, and gave him a few copies of the first chapter of BaR. I also introduced Parenti to someone I volunteered with.

There's this datacenter built at the Oregon Gorge and I need to take that into consideration concerning propaganda.

Protest in Iran against the French embassy

thx admins for approving my account so quickly, ive had to wait awhile before

Bought this Bohemians FC Kneecap edition jersey which is in support of Palestine and wore it to work today. It got a lot of smiles from our Palestinian members.

Can anyone direct me to sources on how China's government works. Like elections or processes of moving stuff around.

I understand how the DPRK's elections and processes work, but I don't think I've ever looked into China.
