In one hand it makes you aware of how things function in class-society and even in nature, and help you form an objective analysis.

On the other hand it makes you depressed about the current capitalist state of the world.

    Anything you wanna talk about, comrade?

    Capitalism and patriarchal colonialism gave me PTSD + chronic depression and reading mao, finding lenin, reading my way through stalin and understanding dialectical materialism as someone who barely finished highschool gave me hope again lol.

      High School is designed to make us obedient workers under American Capital. The fact that you struggled only says the most virtuous things about you and your inability to be programmed.

        i was somewhere in one of the imperial cores growing up as a closeted-bisexual in a religious school LMFAO & thankfully once we were moved back to argentina, the programming here is uh, entirely different from how the imperial cores operate (that’s why they’re dead set on privatizing and trying to strangle state schools and ensure a strict educational system protocol that restricts teaching children about bodily autonomy, how to recognize abuse (ALL types), gender(s), their rights as kids/teens, exploitation, and sexuality(ies).) they taught us about the dictatorships and both US/british involvement, they provided lengthy videos on La Noche de los Lapices and La Noche de Las Corbatas. entry level requirements at public facultades (colleges) have entire marxist sections, we were allowed to turn in essays using inclusive language, we have laws that police and armed forces cannot enter schools/universities bc of La noche de los lapices. tl;dr i suck at math

        This place is one of the imperial cores’ worst nightmare, here we have (had) the dehumanization-to-leftist pipeline :c private schools here are apolitical…i wonder why… LOL

            before i engage w this, what is the purpose of your question? is it good faith or bad faith? do u want me to tell u more about argentine history? or are you dismissing what i wrote out of defensiveness/deflection?

              I’m a communist on a decentralized social media app discussing leftist stuff with leftists. Why would the question be in bad faith? Seriously. Sometimes comrades – ya’ll can make the most simple discussions, really, a pain.

                bc ur question has nothing to do w the topic at hand. whether intended or not it’s a loaded, historically illiterate question that can ignore the material conditions of this territory. /nm /lh

                I was talking about how education works under imperialism. You brought up Nazis. i’m genuinely trying to understand!!! /nm /lh

                  Okay, so it appears as though you’re not really trying to understand though by calling people illiterate, and I think we’re done here. Any question asked in a friendly forum is fully relevant and I don’t see how you’re a comrade pissing on someone trying to learn. Deeply ironic that you have all this academia jammed into your brain to teach you how to be decent, and you can’t even have a common discussion with a leftist on a leftist thread. Then you wonder why we can’t have solidarity. Sad. On a “comradeship” freechat no less. lol. Just…wow. Have the day you deserve man.

                    Just commenting to tell you I added tone tags. I didn’t call YOU illiterate, I said your question was (whether intended or not). Never said it wasn’t relevant. I asked you questions as to your intentions and you answered none of them. The rest are just assumptions you’re making up about me. Thank you, I will have a lovely day. I’m femme-presenting btw /calm /lh /gen /nbr
