There’s a couple dozen bozos like us around.

Voting in a general bougie election for 16yr olds with the state of the internet as it is? Specially in Harry Potter land?

So, I wrote back and said:‘‘Hey, Donald Trump, the local economy is on my side, and I’d like to see how your hair would fare without these good paying jobs’’.

Brilliant post

We’ve gone from ‘‘deeply unserious’’ to ‘‘abysmally unserious’’ with this one.

Sweet, thanks, I bookmarked that site.

Yeah, there’s a whole gamut of online diversions, sometimes it feels like you’re playing a platformer avoiding all the traps and spikes. But in truth, they’re more like snares and shadow plays to get you caught up in a Plato’s cave, fighting with strawmen, and not advancing towards Marxism-Leninism. If you’re not here, ideologically, you’ve been ensnared, and your energy is being diverted into meaningless chatter. That’s why what you mentioned earlier is important, that we need more rigorous Marxist critics. I guess that’s what Tricontinental, the IMG, CTW, and other great orgs and channels do.

There’s a realization spreading now in the Global South that we need our own tech, and not to rely on Western, mainly US, tech. I bring this up, cause sometimes either we overestimate online activity or we underestimate it, thinking that real, on the ground organizing is most important. It is at the end of the day, but we spend time simultaneously in both spaces. So we go back to your call, and I wanted to tie that with the pursuit of sovereign tech, because as we’ve seen with Venezuela, the right has total control of online space. Chavismo has always had a presence online but because the US has Meta and Twitter, they’re minimized, shadow banned, etc. So we need our own tools to quell theirs. This can only be done under revolution, like China did. We have to build platforms independent from US meddling. It is a matter of national security in the world today, specially for our AES comrades.

I haven’t read those, and thankfully don’t know about the Hegelian e-girls, Hahaha. I agree, that there’s a lot of pseudo-theory out there because of bourgeois academia where like Gabriel often says, it’s like every academic has a product to sell; the new, hip theory that’s dressed up as ‘‘radical’’ but upholds the status quo.

Thanks for the book recs, I’ll write those titles down and look for 'em.

Yeah, I love Critical Theory Workshop, too.

Hahaha, there was another one recently about Western Marxism from Losurdo, but I didn’t post it, it was from the International Manifesto Group and Friends of Socialist China. It should be on Friends of Socialist China’s YT for any comrades interested.

Thanks for posting this great article, man. I always appreciate people learning about Venezuela.

If that happens, I’m gonna turn into a poltergeist, and start hauling shit on them.

Unlimited slavery on Terf Island.

If any Minecrafters out there wanna make a name for themselves, there are plenty of good mining spots in the game. Don’t waste your time staying local, go and find some worthy mining spots to make the world smile.

Yeah, I saw that one, too and the MechaHitler crap. Tonight, reading through all this I’m just:

Look, we love to crap on Will Standstill all the time for being a lib, but this is fucked up.

Raidou Kuzunoha vs The Humanzee Army

I only got 2 words for any Adventure Time people out there: Don’t Miss.

Yeah, it really does. I’ve seen some similar projects like this one in Venezuela, and they have schools and clinics, too. I imagine these do as well, or are part of a larger project with those necessities nearby.

Beautiful homes with nice backyards you can have orchards in, terraces on the roofs for some good Korean BBQ and beers with the comrades, some baby trees around, very comfy and neighborly. I can see the kids running around playing and visiting their neighbors all the time.

It’s ironically what suburbia promised.
