My application to be a member of the party has been accepted! This Sunday, I'll be attending my first ever meeting! Such a joyous occasion.
Éljen a munkáspárt! 🚩🇭🇺
Guess who just got an eviction notice. Death to landlords.
Death to landlords, of course. I wish you luck in finding a better place to live 🫡
Thank you comrade, its tough out here
May Mao watch over you. May all landleeches die and their ill-owned property redistributed to those who'd actually live there.
im so sorry comrade, i wish you the best of luck, and all future revenge
I pandered buying a commie pin for my backpack, but I'm trying not to get hatecrimed and I already have a high risk being a femboy.
If you get a red star you can just say "what no it's just a cool star"
You can say it’s the Macy’s logo. Just a big fan of the store
Tell them it gives you VIP access and a 10% discount on all items and watch how many people get their own red star pin.
CW: deteriorating mental health, depressive tendencies
My mental health has deteriorated horribly since uni started back in September. I hate university so much and I don’t think it will ever be a good experience for me, since I’m not a very sociable person and I find myself very irritable lately…
I want to find an alternative (my main interests are the gym and programming) that at least gives me enough money to live, because I’ve accepted I will never be happy. However, my parents seem to hate that idea and have tried their hardest to keep me from dropping out. It’s been hard.
With that being said, hope you all have had a good week!
I'm gonna be real. I'm getting tired of seeing news articles about things that are obviously going to be happening under capitalism.
Yes they are privatizing everything. Yes they are killing everything and everyone.etc etc etc.
Is there a community, or an interest at all, where we can post something and talk about praxis?
So instead of "they are ruining healthcare!". Could maybe have at least one community where it's:
They are ruining healthcare (article) and my town and I have started organizing against it.
Or : there are so many homeless! (Article) we started this mutual aid group. Any advice?
I just think it can become a distraction from real action constantly reinforcing what we know, without an effort or recognition of each other's praxis.
I get where your coming from but I'd also like to point out that for me personally these articles come in pretty handy when I'm discussing these things that we know will happen with friends that don't. They're a useful tool to back up my arguments when I try radicalizing people, as it's helpful to be able to point to specific instance where these things are happening right now, in an effort to convince others that theories established long ago are correct.
You're right of course. I suppose it's frustrating knowing there are dozens of us and we don't have a place to share successes and failures of praxis. Maybe I have internalized the sentiment that social media is a distraction from action.
So I was walking through the city this evening when a guy started talking to me. Thinking he was some sort of street sales person fot whatever internet company or something, I politely told him to leave me alone. But then he said he was collecting money for Palestine and I felt bad. He was raising money to send water filters to Gaza. I donated of course but I still felt shit lol.
Gotta respect to the people who sneak into buses through the back door. 
Every time a chinese company release an LLM, there are fkn libs always asking it about tankman and posting its response. I’m fkn sick of it.
give me some disasters US wants to cover up and i’ll ask western llms?
The first thing that came to mind is the MOVE bombings
The thing is all the llms spit out something even for MOVE bombings. I need something that is clearly wrong/censored, not up to date but came out recently due to declassification
What do they say about Assange? Or the stuff Texas is doing to refugees at the border?
whats the picture of?
I believe the person on the left is George Habash, the founder of the PFLP. On the right is an obscure Cuban revolutionary called F. Alejandro C. Ruz
He might be obscure but atleast use the correct title, Dr. F. Alejandro C. Ruz.
my apologies to Dr. Ruz 🙏
Tempted to start calling Dutch libs who are against farmers protests genocide deniers like they do with the Holodomor
The Dutch socialist sub is having a proper funny infighting session this week. Two or three MLs (though they seem to be ultras actually) are constantly starting shit about NATO being evil and the socdems and libs are getting mad about it.
Shows how far from socialism The Netherlands is.
Rare ultra W tbh. If the succdems want "NATO with socialist characteristics" then fuck everything they stand for.
Is the dutch socialist sub poldersocialism? I browsed it a couple times but it looked like you got downvoted for talking positive about lenin or the USSR so I stopped browsing
Drone was intercepted near Dzerzjinsk last night. Yes, it is named after Felix Dzerzjinsky. No, it's nowhere near the Ukrainian border. If fact it's further away than Moscow.
Why is translation so damn expensive? I just want a single book translated. I'm not buying a fucking car.
good translations require actually checking out every individual word to make sure nothing goes wrong, think about reading "I walked to the ball." You either imagined that as a little round thing or a grand ceremony, that happens in every language, and only gets more confusing the further from your language you go. Not to mention translating culture, translating words that dont have a 1 to 1 with your target language, trying to translate how a society views certain concepts or ideas, and translating a joke is absolutely insane to watch the process of.
bruh i used to post like 24/7 what happened to me
Did you, perchance, happen to brush up against some grass
Sometimes it's good to take a break

Was just watching the new Coaster College video about the roller coaster accident that happened in a park in Shenzhen last October, and while the video was good, man, so many of the comments are exactly what you'd expect about anything related to China
The funniest ones were the "made in China" ones, when the coaster in question was made by a US company 😂
It's also pretty funny for people to act like there's fewer repercussions for Chinese companies for this kind of thing, when the video even mentions that the investigators sent by the city directly recommended criminal charges against multiple managers from the park in question, which is wild when these sorts of accidents in the US almost never result in anything resembling criminal charges, usually the people responsible don't even face any consequences
It's also interesting to see people mention it as being unusual that the Chinese government is so open about something (since the investigation info is available to the public), unfortunately I doubt they'll look at this and question anything else they've been told about China's government
Bad news folks, parents got covid
Good news folks, my test is negative
hehe 69

hey, don't know if it's Jerboa (my client), but the matrix homeserver and space link doesn't work for me.
cheers from Brazil, have a great day!
This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
