  • Thanks

  • What happened in Spain? Or do you have something I can read?

  • There is likely already something that will work for you:

    On windows, holding alt and typing on a numeric keypad 8800 should give you ≠

    With ibus or fctix5 on Linux, or without those two in certain programs (such as Firefox), ctrl+shift+u then typing 2260 should also give it.

    With hex code input turned on in mac os holding down option and typing 2260

  • Nothing exists.

  • You reject materialism, then ask for a materialist (science is materialist, it is the measuring and understanding of mater) proof of materialism. Nonsense.

  • Yes, the proletariat dictating how things are to be, but that doesn't mean it isn't democratic. DotP is scary when you simply read "dictatorship", but if you think about it, dictatorship of the vast majority of people is not as scary.


    The Greek city-state has been cited time and again by historians as the birthplace of democracy. And yet, on reading the Encyclopedia Britannica, we find that in fact this was a democracy only for a “charmed circle of the privileged,” while the slaves, who did the work of the community, “had no voice whatever in the making of the laws under which they toiled.”The classical example of democracy was, then, a democracy only for certain people. For others, for those who did the hard work of the community, it was a dictatorship. At the very birthplace of democracy itself we find that democracy and dictatorship went hand in hand as two aspects of the same political system. To refer to the “democracy” of the Greek city-state without saying for whom this democracy existed is misleading. To describe the democracy of the Greek city-state without pointing out that it could only exist as a result of the toil of the slaves who “had no political and hardly any civil rights” falsifies the real history of the origin of democracy.Democracy, then, from its origin, has not precluded the simultaneous existence of dictatorship. The essential question which must be asked, when social systems appear to include elements both of democracy and dictatorship, is, “for whom is there democracy?” and “over whom is there a dictatorship?”

    Soviet Democracy, Introduction

  • .ml isnt leftist in the same way as hexbear and lemmygrad, there aren't any rules about being a lib. But since the mods are leftists it does lean more towards it.

  • The dot is just in the center of the country.

  • No. This coment is anti semetic. Conflating Zionism with Judaism is antisemitic.

  • his

    Check pronouns. They/Them.

  • Some are outside the 50 year mark by a decade or two but it shows in the last 50 years

    I wish I lived in your world where time is non-linear.

  • The left of the US overtone window is very much right wing.

  • Not just after the invasion of Poland, right up until the invasion of the Soviet Union.

      On the Russian side, General Thomas, Chief of the German War Industry Department, recorded that “the Russians carried out their deliveries as planned, right up to the start of the attack. Even during the last few days, transports of India rubber from the Far East were completed by express transit trains.”30  This was not because the Russians did not expect to be attacked. As early as September 18, 1940, the Germans learned about anti-German propaganda in the Red Army, and interpreted it as a response to fear of attack by Germany.31 The Kremlin fulfilled its economic commitments to the end because it was determined to give Hitler no cause to attack. Until late in the day, also, the industrial and war materials received from Germany were a very important supplement to Russia’s armament efforts. The raw materials which Germany received were mostly perishable, while the arms and machines received by Russia remained when war came.

  • I’m pushing back against the notion that only “guilty nazis” were hurt by the soviets.

    Ok... And I never said that?
