De-industrialization in the West was made possible by the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the scenario you describe.

The primary contradiction shifts from the domestic contradiction between the workers and the bourgeoisie to the contradiction between imperialist and colonized nations. This is the same reason why there is a star for national capitalists on the flag of the PRC!

Thanks for the clarification! I remember the brief negative oil prices during March 2020 as speculators suddenly were on the hook to collect oil which there was no demand for and for which they had no facilities.

I think it's important to make use of it while it's available but still be critical/suspicious. In the meantime, Pal Action is making some real wins. I am sorry to hear about the pain and hardship he has caused your comrades and organization. For radical movements to really be sustainable, they need to be member funded and independent of these fickle streams of support which can be turned off at a whim.

Why are coffee prices given in cents per pound but referred to as dollars per pound in source material?

Partisan usually refers to guerilla bands without strong institutions or state infrastructure. For example, it doesn't really apply to Hezbollah which is a quasi-state and approaching a conventional military. It certainly doesn't apply to Iran which is a conventonal army.

NPA and Naxals have large numbers of active women combatants.

I'm familiar with that source! Thank you so much for sharing and for taking the time to make the relevant sections parsable.

Why do you think it is funny to mock and comment on the body of someone who looks different from you? This is embarrassing. I encourage you to reflect on yourself and your media habits.

Could you share the document if at all possible? This is a big help! The particular new insights are about how to plan the run of appliances.

 

I moved into a rundown house and am gradually fixing it up to house people. Making it accessible is a priority and I am getting ready to start the kitchen. I would like to know what features and placements wheelchair users would like in a kitchen.

In particular, shelf and cabinet placement, and oven placement. I know every work area needs to have leg room beneath it, but it's harder to find design guidelines for other aspects.

Could you share it?

 

Dear comrades, recently I have been stuck in interpersonal conflict in my political life. This has made one of my main avenues for empowerment and dealing with the weight of the world less effective. As a consequence, I have had recurring urges to overeat. It has negatively impacted my health and energy beyond the general lethargy of mild depression.

Does anyone have any strategies or advice for compassionately handling these impulses? My wallet and body will surely thank you.

 
 

It's got ginger, cucumber, lemon, and lime. I made a hat for the urn from tinfoil so it's a bit airtight ig. My dream is to drink it for the next 4-5 days but I don't want to get sick.

Produce is really cheap by me and all I want to eat is various fruit salads. I am too lazy to fully efficiently extract the yimmy and the yummy from each fruit, so I thought I would use them to make yimmyyummy water.

Also! Don't be afraid of a few savory or aromatic ingredients in a fruit salad!

Recipe:

  • Big cucumber diced smallish
  • Raspberries (3-4 oz? I ate a few)
  • 3 Plums diced into bigger pieces (they are the anchor)
  • 2 limes ( juice + ~4 cm x 1 cm of zest very fine chopped)
  • 2 little lemons ( juice + ~4 cm x 1 cm of zest very fine chopped)
  • 1 bunch (5-6) green onions
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 nug ginger very fine chop
  • BIG "pinch" table or brown sugar

Do everything how you would think, and dissolve and mix the sugar, salt, ginger, and cilantro into the juice to make kind of a dressing. This is really good with firmer, tarter plums. I used black plums and it's really pretty!

 

Like I would have months where I would take out a big pile of cash once and never use my bank card. Other times, I would have certain sides of town where I would use cash only or card only and switch it. I told myself I was playing 'opsec games'. Stupid stupid stupid.

Sometimes I like to laugh. Even since being diagnosed with ADHD, I will dogmatically stick to these bizarre ideas that come to me on a lark. Thankfully, I was able to talk myself out of train hopping with no real purpose or preparation. I've also completely avoided tattoos.

 

Self-described (I didn't research more) anti-genocide, anti-war, anti-occupation anarchist teens in "tel aviv"

E: snooped their page a bit more. They are anti 'occupation' but incoherent about the overall settler project.
