He met him eating mushrooms in the People's Park

He said 'What do you think about my manifesto?'

'I like your manifesto, put it to the test-o.'

Tories are obviously fucked but labour are the new tories. I don't believe in bourgeois electoralism so I'm inclined not to vote at all but would also like to spoil the tories and labour from winning in my constituency. To that end, I'm torn between Green (libs with good climate policies, left of labour but pro-Israel-existence) and Workers Party GB (economically socialist with weird-to-concerning opinions on LGBT+)**. Discuss.

** Workers Party leader Galloway in an interview with Novara media has said he believes all LGBT+ people should be treated with dignity and respect and that he has had many gay and one trans colleague (and used their preferred pronouns) but he has boomerish ideas about what should and should not be taught to children in schools and which changing rooms people should use. It's not great but could be worse I guess.

I don't have social media so I'm expecting great things from you

This is the official hexbear Dune discussion thread (not really)

I watched the new Dune and enjoyed the films from a cinematic/fantasy perspective but wasn't super on-board with the politics as I thought the message was simply 'leaders bad', but what didn't come across (imo) from the movies and what I'm learning from discussion of the books is that the message is more nuanced than that: Herbert's message wasn't "don't blindly follow leaders because they're evil", but "don't blindly follow leaders because movements based on blind belief are a force of their own and can sweep everyone up into a mess, even if that was not at all the intention", and there are of course examples of that happening throughout human history. I want to hear all of your thoughts on the books, the films, and the messages. Thanks.

I know of a few academic journals that review and publish articles on Marxism and Socialism but all of them seem to be run by Trots and are extremely hostile to Marxism-Leninism, Stalinism, and AES countries like China, Viet Nam, and (formerly) the Soviet Union. Are there any academic journals that are pro-Lenin/Soviet and pro-AES? I would like to read such articles and possibly contribute myself. Obviously there are sites like this one but I'm looking specifically for a scholarly journal, e.g. with peer-review or at least something more formal than a forum.

Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for serious replies only, please. I have a friend whose family 'escaped' from East Germany and moved to the US during the Cold War. My friend's opposition to socialism seems to be almost exclusively based upon this idea that their poor family had to 'run from evil communists'. This person either doesn't know or won't tell me what their family was up to in Germany from 1930-1945. I suspect they were nazis and were not 'escaping' socialism but hiding their participation in war crimes by moving to a country that would not persecute them for killing civilians etc. I know their grandfather's name (who was just a boy when his parents forcibly moved them all to the US). How would I go about proving my hypothesis that they were nazis? Are their databases with the names of nazi party members and so on? Any advice and guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I want Hexbear to have a SovietUnion community for my Soviet Posts. I will never stop larping. Admins, make it happen. INTO THE LAIR.

... and it wasn't nearly enough. Approximately 4 million nazi prisoners were released after decades of hard labour. They should have been buried instead. Non-negotiable.
