On this day in 1931, with the Soviet Union’s help, the “Chinese Soviet Republic” was founded by the Communist Party of China, establishing its own bank, printing its own money, and collecting its own taxes.

At the time, the majority of China was still under the control of the Nationalist Government of the Republic of China. On November 7th, communists held an open ceremony and military parade for the new country, attended by Mao Zedong.

Central Revolutionary Base, commonly called the Jiangxi-Fujian Soviet, was the largest component territory of the Chinese Soviet Republic and served as the county seat and headquarters of the Chinese Soviet government.

The Jiangxi-Fujian base area was defended ably by the First Red Front Army, but in 1934 it was finally overrun by the Kuomintang government’s National Revolutionary Army in the Fifth of its Encirclement Campaigns.

This last campaign in 1934-35 precipitated the most famous of the communist army retreats, known as the “Long March”.

    Malfoid is so funny to me. They came up with a tsundere high school romance OC and they’re treating it like some kind of cultural movement.

    As someone who didn’t get female attention in high school, I can sympathize with the desire to experience high school romance vicariously through anime or whatever. But that’s all this is. You want a pretty girlfriend with an attitude. You and everyone else, buddy. Get your head out of your ass.

    A lot of the legitimacy of the present system rests on the assumption that pretty flashing lights make people’s lives better.

    Do you not own or fully control your dwelling; can you not access anything on foot; do you need to be cramped up in an expensive box on wheels to get anywhere; is everything around you poisoning you; do you have barely 30 waking hours (or less) of the week where you are not forced by someone else; are you surrounded by hostile people instead of friends; does your life seem to promise all of the above until you reach infirmity in old age; does an increasingly tiny group of people hold all the power and make all the decisions and prevent people from freely selecting an alternative?

    Well just look at these pretty flashing lights and listen to these mesmerizing sounds. And remember that you are among the richest, most thriving people in history because of how much you can tickle your perceptions to desensitization.

    With all the Switch 2 emulation talk at the moment a hot tip I figured out is to pirate a game from the console you want to emulate. Fitgirl Repacks of console games usually come with the emulator ready to run, whereas emulators from the actual website are like “wE dOn’T eNdOrSe pIraCy” which they have to say, but it makes setup a lot harder. If you pirate, you’re already breaking the law so why not give you all the BIOS files?

      If you can afford to spend the time making it, only the priciest restaurants can match what you make. Any food that someone else makes to-order for you is arguably luxury food.

      Capitalism has just succeeded in squeezing the share of labor out of it, increasing the supply of meat proffered and the shelf life of its ingredients, and marketing slight superficial changes as something you’d find appetizing.

        Cheap street fooe for breakfast / lunch is very common in poor imperialized countries. It’s the imperialist countries that pay through the nose for slop.

        While you’re technically right, it’s a luxury working people have had access to forever. Cheap street food has been a thing since like…at lwast ancient Rome and i’m sure further back. People shouldnt have to bust their asses all day but as long as people do convenient food for tired people at a cost has been a thing.
