Two Israeli tourists got beaten down by a 15 year old in my hometown. Media cried antisemitism for days afterwards. Police now released him stating antisemitism wasn't the case. The guy didn't even know they were Israeli until he was arrested and brought to the station. Also, the Israeli tourists were being dicks during a paintball game and that's how the fight happened eventually.
What's really funny to me is that a 15 year old manages to beat two Israeli dudes lol.
What happens when you're so privileged you've never had someone fight back in your life.
I haven't drank alcohol for a year now today, which I guess is somewhat of an achievement.
I hate the way the murder of a 17 year old girl has been hijacked by right wingers purely because the suspect is a migrant. At yesterday's Ajax match people paid a tribute to the girl in the 17th minute and some Ajax hooligans felt the need to raise Dutch flags in the form of a cross. Absolutely disgusting behavior. Online you keep seeing things like 'migration stop' over and over again. We have had several murder by a Dutch dude in the last few years. It is almost always a Dutch guy. But now everyone can blame migrants again.
As always, a murder by an ethnic minority member is the fault of foreigners and migration, while a murder by an ethnic majority member is the fault of neurodiversity and too little involuntary drugging. Under no circumstances has a "normal, upstanding" white male ~~supremacist~~ person ever committed a crime.
the same thing happened in the us with laken riley. it's evil.
Currently, our neoliberal clown government has raised the salaries of corrupt parliament lawmakers by 50 million rupiah (at least 3,000 USD), while half of the population remains poor or low-income. It’s obvious why people are angry, and now We are protesting Againsts it.
Good Lord, my country is in deep Shit
That's sad. is there a growing socialist movement in Indonesia?
Lmao No, the closest thing are the Socdems, which suck ass.
Suharto Regime really eliminate all Socialist Movement in My country
School of Marxism Studies in China from Renmin University
I wonder, do they have a course list? I'm curious how Marxism is taught in the PRC.
They do! I couldn't find for Renmin university in particular but I found this one:

Awesome, thank you! Definitely want to look into this more, see if I can't learn how AES countries have managed to most effectively educate on Marxism and apply it to my own work.
You can also try to send them an email and see if you can get a course materials or something that could help you with your work. Also, if you do, don't forget to share it with Lemmygrad!

Oh, might do that! I'm just starting to organize, so I'm still wary of trying to rock the boat or anything, it would mostly be for my own research before I find a good chance to discuss it with comrades. Might have to overcome my social anxiety and send an email, haha.
I hope you all have a nice week :D
Usted también camarada 🫡
Beautiful place 👍🏼
I got COVID this last week. The symptoms bad as it was before, but I'm SO fatigued all the time & it really lingers more than other sicknesses. Stay safe out there comrades.
In the meantime I'm binging a show & practicing drawing quite a bit, which has brought me a lot of joy. The first character I ever drew was Luna from Sailor Moon. Now I'm practicing shading & shadows. Now I get why people draw fruit so much when they're first learning.
For some reason Instagram keeps sending me ads for magic mushrooms lmao. Which are illegal in Belgium btw (not in The Netherlands). I get that I am Dutch and all but you'd think they'd be able to determine my location. Or they don't care and are willing to sell drugs. Not that I'm against that.
Calling for a Free Palestine can get you banned though.
Our city government uses Israeli spy software for the police and our party is sating they should stop it AND that there are other alternatives and I'm here like: wait why do we need it in the first place and why do we commies feel the need to defend it?
I think a military invasion by the US in Venezuela is imminent.... they got some cartel de sinaloa members to spread the narrative that Maduro is the leader of "cartel del sol (lmao)" in exchange for shortening their sentences. It is pretty clear now that the only reason the US takes these drug cartel guys to the court in the US is to fabricate these claims in order to invade latin america.
Honestly this may end up being an even worse disaster than Afghanistan. I don't think the empire can endure yet another unjust war; Venezuela could very well end up the final nail in the coffin for American hegemony - if not in the world at large then at least in Latin America.
Has there been some recent escalation beyond the ship movements?

Finished updating my ML reading list pet project! Took some inspo in the order I presented it in from the Chinese Marxist Syllabus rainpizza found. I'd love any feedback, especially where I can reasonably trim, reformat, and add to the "Resources" section.
this is another list which is supposedly based on one or more Chinese universities' curricula for Marxist studies
as for feedback, I'd recommend prioritizing shorter works over lengthy books (Elementary Principles of Philosophy, etc.) in the introductory sections
and some nitpicking: "D. Xiaoping" is analogous to "Karl M."
I'm more and more bothered by the gentrification in my part of the city. More and more rich middle class or upper class white people are moving in and the poorer, mostly poc inhabitants have to move away. This is why I see gentrification as a form of racism. It was way more diverse just five years ago.
In Mexico, we have been organizing against it. Some even did an announcement of a protest from a leftist meme page and had an incredible and numerous spontaneous/grassroots participation.
If you are organized with some comrades, you can give it a try and test the waters.
That's a good idea, there should be more organising against gentrification
If you ever need some examples of posters calling for the protest, this could help:

Government is now issuing warnings due to drought in Flanders. I was driving through both The Netherlands and Flanders yesterday and the greenery is looking beige. Some trees are already dropping leaves, going into fall mode early due to drought. Fun times.
Do the hasbara ghouls not realize how strange they look when they automatically spew all the talking points on Hamas/Oct7 whenever they're confronted about Israel? Like do they think they look smart parroting these talking points as fast as possible? 😂
Look at the recent adam friedland interview, the guy sounds like a NPC lmao.
Anyone else exhausted trying to get people around them to understand how capitalism is the root of all their fears and problems?
Like damn… I feel like I’m lucky to change the mind of 1 out of every 100 I talk to. It’s just frustrating that so many people can’t connect to the bigger picture beyond all the culture war slop.
Revolutionary optimism always, but man I feel like I to apply ice directly to my brain
USians be like "we want no drug cartel no more" meanwhile their most widely acclaimed media is about either mexican cartels or italian mobs lmao.
Is it weird to fantasize about a new apartheid where genocide supporters are made second class citizens who are black listed from certain jobs and entertainment and have no right to vote?
Too much work, just kill them all at this point. If two years of a livestreamed genocide aren't enough to deradicalize them then no amount of schooling will help.
Anti-immigration march in australia today had like 1% the turn out of the Free Palestine march a week ago.
Is everything on Netflix liberal slop, or are there some good shows or movies on there?
