Have a great week, everyone! We live in uncertain times, so it's best to stay to your goals, habits, and maintain revolutionary optimism. We don't have the luxury of nihilism!

As always, communism will win.

Soon will be the beginning of our celebrations. Soon the empire will finally collapse.

I'm grieving right now and it's hard. I never lost someone so close to me before. I'm mostly fine, mainly because of denial, but then it randomly hits me they're really gone and I break down. I notice that I'm more irritable and fall back on stress behaviors.

I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you recover your spirit after your time of grief.

I’m joining the Party for Socialism and Liberation. I attended a volunteer event for Greg Levy in Ohio. I am excited to be organizing with them.

I'll finally visit Beijing in July. I'm currently waiting for my invitation letter for adding to my visa application. And I have to buy plane tickets while I can; their already unreasonable prices will skyrocket after the current conflict ends.

The Netherlands is so individualistic that family bonds are becoming less strong. I haven't seen my cousins (except one) in a coupke of years. One of them has a one year old child which I've never seen. It doesn't help that we all live in different parts of the country, but still I feel like this wouldn't happen in communist countries

Due to the oil prices, I am starting to think real hard on buying an EV for my little family's business.

The BYD pickup that I sometimes see from farmers in my small city is looking like a buy option with each passing day.

The United States wanted something, too: for China to get on board with a U.S.-led, liberal-democratic order and move away from its communist model. But that's not quite what happened.

The WTO rules were not written with China, or its unique economic-political structure, in mind. China has elements of a capitalist system, but is still run by a communist government. There are many influential government-owned companies (China’s oil and gas giant, Sinopec, took in more money in 2019 than any other company in the world, other than Walmart), and even private companies are heavily subjected to government influence. According to the China Daily (itself owned by the CCP), nearly 70 percent of the almost two million private companies in China had internal CCP groups in 2017.

In the 2000s I was a patriot and I saw America's apparent invincibility and it made me happy.

In the 2010s I was a patriot and I saw America's apparent invincibility and it made me sad.

In the 2020s I am no longer a patriot and I see America's actual vulnerability and it makes me happy.

It's been a wild ride.

I don't really get the point of "critical" in critical support. It implies theres such a thing as "uncritical" support. When would that ever be a thing? As a marxist you're always being critical. If you're critical to the point you don't support the government, then you're not doing critical support. If you support something to the point you aren't critical, you're not doing marxism.

[–] DonLongSchlong@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 2 months ago

Russia needs critical support because they are simply not marxist or any other flavour of leftism and therefore every pro-russia stance will be followed with that they need to fundamentally change.

This is different from, say, vietnam or china where we would criticise their approach to communism, but more in a friendly way towards comrades so that they can do better.

I think of it that it is critical that we support Iran and Russia no matter their politics and laws as long as they stay anti-imperialist whereas our support for China is a given because they are comrades.

hi i posted this in wrong thread but i stand by it

it is true entirely that xitter is filled with bots and it infests almost any avenue you pick, but while i’d only largely heard secondhand stories, scrolling xcancel looking at pop-culture blogs really shocks you because it’s kind of staggering the level of cultural revolution the anglosphere desperately needs in every single facet of life

Wallahi my sleep schedule is cooked

I finally deleted all the social media apps off my phone because my ADHD leads me to use that effortless means of dopamine instead of genuinely fulfilling things and it just got so absurd recently

Im working on a map project for the near future (2050) if anyone has any cool ideas for countries and such in that scenario lmk

Have a good Monday comrades and here’s an Evil for morale

Far right party FVD won big in my Dutch hometown as they become the fourth largest party. Which is sad because it is a heavy working class city.

One of the far right Dutch parties, FVD, has a guy running for the municipalities who lost his teaching job for harassing underage girls. So I went to their insta to say how cool it was of them to let a pedo run for their party and they blocked me lmao. Free speech enthusiasts btw.

Throughout the early years of the war, [Reich] officials tried to provide a legalistic image, often by shifting blame for the onset of terror bombing to the British. In May 1940, the New York Times published a column claiming that Hermann Göring, the supreme commander of the Luftwaffe, threatened retaliatory strikes against Great Britain, specifically using the word terror in its inflammatory language.²¹ Promising “mighty blows” against the British body and flexing the perceived muscle of the [Luftwaffe], Göring was laying blame for his intentional targeting of civilian populations squarely on British military operations against Germany.²²

While this was framed as a retaliation for British operations and the Blitz—an all-out aerial assault aimed primarily against civilians which lasted almost a full year—is often cited as the beginning of German aggression towards civilian populations, that explanation is far from the truth. It is important to remember that [Fascist] fire rained on Warsaw and other Polish cities months before the publication of this article, not to mention Guernica years before.

While Göring threatened only Great Britain, the Luftwaffe went on to target Dutch and Belgian cities as well as French border towns like Mareuil with terror strikes only five months later, using the same methods that were tested at Guernica. The first sorties of the Blitz didn’t fly until early July of 1940, long after the Reichsmarschall made his threat.

Sounds like the imperialist blockade has broken Cuba's power grid, looks grim if they're going to be attacking Cuba next.

[–] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 2 months ago

My heart, solidarity and full faith are in / with cuba and the cuban people, as I have said many times. Here though is hoping that the FAR is well prepared and or they have solid alliances

[–] rainpizza@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fortunately, this blackout is reported that it is being fixed -> https://www.granma.cu/cuba/2026-03-16/en-curso-el-restablecimiento-gradual-del-sistema-electrico-nacional-16-03-2026-21-03-42

As for the situation, the Cubans are rapidly increasing implementation of renewables and that is already helping with the reestablishment of energy services and the decrease of blackouts.

Even if the situation looks grim, there is hope and ways to fight it. As always, if you have the chance to help, please do!

There's this dude at my job who has a son that has been recently diagnosed with autism and he says he doesn't know how to handle it properly yet as he has no experience with autism. The other day I caught him changing his shoes mid day because he bought new shoes and said 'yeah I always do this as I have troubles with getting used to new shoe feels often'

My friend, I may have some news for you

and it's also happening as xi is still cracking down and being more, well, recognizably 'socialist' even to politically illiterate westerners. we have had simultaneous xi-doomposting for the last 10 years and also watched as they continued to prosper, continued to be dynamic and continue to support its population, and like, okay, are we just going to pretend a) it's doomed Gommunist/Gocialist country failed state ohhh any day now or b) big ebil Capitalist country evil evil? are we still doing this? today? on march 19th?
