  • my people still remember how we had a successful union movement going until Lenin said "All Power to the Soviet", demanded that we quit striking all the time so that the urban factory settings could industrialize faster, and then the ML Union Bosses of the Stalin era became just as corrupt as the mine operators with both the mine bosses and the union bosses telling us to shut the fuck up and get back to work and stop worrying about whatever the hell "black lung" is.

    okay. that's enough thinking out of me. i'm going back to recovering from RSV.

    as always, fuck every extractive economy no matter what color their fascist movement purports to be

  • a moment from the 2023 wave of protests still sits with me. a woman being dragged away by the morality in a city center screaming "REMEMBER ME" as loud as she could as a crowd watched in silence. it haunts me

  • fuck i just lost 3 paragraphs of work because i thought i could write this up on my phone now that i'm done with work and my wife's using the only working charger we have right now. i'm gonna need to regather my thoughts again because now i'm too mad at all that lost work to focus my energy on what i have to say

    (stupid cancel button having no "are you sure?" prompt)

    i'm still gonna leave my outline for my future self though because i think i'm coming down with something:

    • an acknowlegement of the Marxist-Leninist tone of this meme
    • a critique of how this is EXACTLY the kind of agitprop the CIA pumps out to discredit leftist groups
    • an exploration of what left and right are and have been for the last 16,000 years when the terms old only about 230 years old
    • a conclusion questioning if ideological revisionism and historical revisionism can even actually be different when inellectual discourse has only been subdivided into buckets for ~300 years, especially when as leftists part of our outlook on the world is that action, history, and patterns of thought are all interconnected notions (this is the part i'm the most excited about since it leans into the interplay of Focault, Marx, Mao, and Trotsky. no weirdo anarchist thinkers like myself even needed)

  • placeholder comment that i'm gonna get back to this when i have time to sit at my computer and gather my thoughts so as to avoid being flippant, off-handed, or in any way less than helpful

  • Let's not forget that its not communism unless it is for everyone

  • fair enough. the intended meaning within this context is the self directed effort toward healing and making amends

  • I will not engage with your politics until you are ready to say to me "I love myself, and I want to love others the way my community loves me"

    Gitxsan saying

    The idea being that you can provide for someone and aid their finding their way back to the path of goodness, but you will not listen until they're a ways along that path. So yes. Fascists will get access to food, water, and healthcare, but they should NEVER be allowed near the guns, ammo, and political stations that they abused us with until they show true repentance for the harm they have done us. And for some of these fuckheads, a single lifetime will not be enough for them to demonstrate repentance and make the people they have harmed whole again

  • Gun manufacturers are having a great year.

    Jump

  • The event I was referencing was 1921, and the last time a picketer was shot was 2023, but whatever I guess...

    Why look at recent history when you can make declarations about how this is all ancient history

  • Revisionists used to be based sometimes 🚬

    Jump

  • I try to not downvote top level posts without explanation so let me explain:

    Revisionists can never be based. Revisionism is a tool of the right wing. It has only ever acted in support of fascism because fascism is the political position that an authoritarian government controls the past, and who controls the past controls the future. Leftism meanwhile is driven by a drive for truth, justice, and peace.

    I didn't find this to be a left-wing meme. I found it to be right wing propaganda. We can have a longer discussion of what the aim of the originator of this was, but I want to keep it brief and on topic.

  • I have an opposing theory that Pizza Hut is a symptom of late stage capitalistic cancer. In the late 80s the capitalistic process of consolidating power in the Soviet Union into the new oligarchy had nearly run its course and the USSR dissolved not long after Pizza Hut showed up on the scene.

    Here, in the homeland of Pizza Hut, Pizza Hut has shifted from being a casual sit down pizza chain, to a casual pizza buffet chain, to an exclusively carry out fast food pizza chain. The uniqueness of the architecture has been lost just as architectural drive in the USSR shifted over time from Construcivist to Stalinist to Brutalist to Soviet modernist (which is commonly critiqued for lacking personality in comparison to prior eras).

    Here in the states we are currently seeing all of our architecture lose personality. Suburban developments are the same house over and over again, often not constructed to code. Car oriented developments are just the same strip mall or basic big box store plopped all over the place with no design considerations given to the surrounding landscape. Even our shitty pizza joints have lost what little personality they once had, now becoming relegated to existing within strip malls next to illusion of choice grocery stores.

  • Low effort president, low effort meme

  • Also. Civilian presidents aren't supposed to solute. Only presidents who served in the military are supposed to solute. Reagan and this idiot are the only ones who do it. The virtue signaling is part of their cult control

  • Virginia moves to forbid schools from teaching that Jan. 6 was peaceful

    Jump

  • states are preparing their cases for why their mandatory curriculum is valuable and the federal fascist dictated curriculum is a violation of the constitution. virginia, in particular, has the nation's testbed for standardized curricula, the SOL (standards of learning) that every student graduating highschool or getting a GED must demonstrate their proficiency in. by setting Jan 6 was a violent historic event, Virginia is creating a precedent that Virginians who participate in adult society MUST know that Jan 6 was violent
