I know they're DSA who holding music festival, but how bad is it exactly? Now that they won, I'm curious what their stance is on the issues that will be discussed at CPs (Russia, China, North Korea, etc.)?

Hey, I think those of you who live in the US may know about what happened at Columbia University (one of the Ivy League Universities), where 109 students were arrested for peacefully demonstrating for gaza. I'm not American, I'm sensitive to topics like student movements and don't particularly want to discuss them. At the same time I am pessimistic and critical of all student movements worldwide. For the US, one of the founders of SDS Tom Hayden went on to join the Democratic Party and live in Beverly Hills with his Hollywood star wife. Yes, it doesn't make sense for students to be arrested, but their rich parents will pay bail to get them out. When these kids graduate, they will put on their resumes that they are "warriors against the power" and work for their parents' NGOs. And certain American universities have been marketing themselves as "social justice warriors," Columbia University, the University of California system, to name a few. Yes, it has happened in history that certain students and faculty have stood up, but that's history. Has anything changed since 1968 because of demonstrations by rich white students? This time was no different, except that the faces in the demonstration crowd were a little more colorful. The essence is still American-centered self-touching. That's what I think, and I'd like to know what do y'all think about this.

Previously: I'm at a frat party school in Southern California, and this is my previous post describing the school's leftist student organization. In addition to being busy healing my own trauma from the car accident these past few days, I've discovered that the "leader" of the organization (a second generation Chinese immigrant) and one of the Chinese students are posting a lot of anti-Chinese (shit like xinjiang prison camp) content in their group chat. The Chinese student introduced himself as being from mainland and not a green card holder, just an international student.Stuff like that is actually pretty common in US college, I don't get mad most of the time, ~~I just joke about how they're just jealous that we can drive a Mercedes go to party everyday without paying student loans~~! What really pisses me off about this is that this Chinese student is a queer who always shares that "living in China scares him", but the inaccurate anti-Chinese content he distributes puts more Chinese students in danger. Anti-Chinese sentiment is growing in the United States, and many Chinese students were racially attacked in the aftermath of the epidemic. The organization touts itself as being "for a better world," but at the same time it puts innocent international students at risk. I was losing patience with them and at the same time feeling scared, what if they were going to attack me(Psychologically and Physically)? Finally, if individuals from this organization(Probably nobody will) are reading this post, fuck u!You're all bunch of racist assholes!

Long story short me and my car got hit by a bus and the guy took off. I'm fine, but the car is damaged. I need to pay for most of the repairs because of insurance issues. I can afford it, but it's still expensive. I'm starting to have self-doubt, this is my first car accident 😭

I just transferred from a smaller college to a school of 50,000 students. It is neighbors with another school in Southern California that famous on student movement. I joined the school's Students for Bernie club (which unfortunately was the only active leftist club at the school), and they were very strange, very strange even for American. They started out organizing for Bernie's presidential campaign and now they encompass YDSA, new SDS,local unions. Like the old video game bundles where you get all in one bite. The problem comes in the fact that there are only about ten active members a piece, all of whom are members of the above organizations. Some called themselves ML, some laborists,Some are social democrats, some are politically apathetic but pro-labor. This led to me not forming friendships with them. Plus, the club leaders are graduating soon and there is no one to take their place. I asked a graduated PSL member if there weren't any "normal" leftist organizations here. They replied that most real ML wouldn't join this club because it's a registered club with the school, they're afraid of being recognized by the school, and they're Bernie supporters after all.

On top of that, I joined six to seven non-political clubs, but things still weren't going well. Most of the people in the clubs have known each other since freshman year and now that they're seniors I'm the one who jumped in in the middle. I have an alcohol allergy I can't go to any fraternity sorority parties and I'm not interested. The people on my course are super self-isolated, they look down and ignore you when I try to talk to them. I'm looking for help off campus right now so if you're a student in the neighborhood you can contact me.

Hello, everyone I am looking for some leftist films from non-socialist countries as part of my research on the international Communist movement, thank you for your help. Here are a few I've seen and I think they're good：

O Lucky Man! 1973

Another Country 1984 (Based on real history, story of Guy Burgess one of the Cambridge Five)

Good bye, Lenin! 2003（Not exactly a leftist movie, but worth watching）

Léon Morin, prêtre 1961
