I haven’t drank alcohol for a year now today, which I guess is somewhat of an achievement.
I hate the way the murder of a 17 year old girl has been hijacked by right wingers purely because the suspect is a migrant. At yesterday’s Ajax match people paid a tribute to the girl in the 17th minute and some Ajax hooligans felt the need to raise Dutch flags in the form of a cross. Absolutely disgusting behavior. Online you keep seeing things like ‘migration stop’ over and over again. We have had several murder by a Dutch dude in the last few years. It is almost always a Dutch guy. But now everyone can blame migrants again.
As always, a murder by an ethnic minority member is the fault of foreigners and migration, while a murder by an ethnic majority member is the fault of neurodiversity and too little involuntary drugging. Under no circumstances has a “normal, upstanding” white male
supremacistperson ever committed a crime.This scapegoating and lack of accountability is a rampart problems in Parkdale high school of Toronto, Canada, in 2012 with the delinquency by children of victims of Communism, victim privilege of psychopath with Aryan appearance, corrupted racist white men in authority, and scapegoating of high performing well-behaved autistic students who only act in self-defense.
the same thing happened in the us with laken riley. it’s evil.
Two Israeli tourists got beaten down by a 15 year old in my hometown. Media cried antisemitism for days afterwards. Police now released him stating antisemitism wasn’t the case. The guy didn’t even know they were Israeli until he was arrested and brought to the station. Also, the Israeli tourists were being dicks during a paintball game and that’s how the fight happened eventually.
What’s really funny to me is that a 15 year old manages to beat two Israeli dudes lol.
What happens when you’re so privileged you’ve never had someone fight back in your life.
I would have just turned the PSI way up on my regulator and used some frozen paintballs when playing them
School of Marxism Studies in China from Renmin University
I wonder, do they have a course list? I’m curious how Marxism is taught in the PRC.
They do! I couldn’t find for Renmin university in particular but I found this one:

Awesome, thank you! Definitely want to look into this more, see if I can’t learn how AES countries have managed to most effectively educate on Marxism and apply it to my own work.
You can also try to send them an email and see if you can get a course materials or something that could help you with your work. Also, if you do, don’t forget to share it with Lemmygrad!
🫡
Oh, might do that! I’m just starting to organize, so I’m still wary of trying to rock the boat or anything, it would mostly be for my own research before I find a good chance to discuss it with comrades. Might have to overcome my social anxiety and send an email, haha.
I hope you all have a nice week :D
Usted también camarada 🫡
Beautiful place 👍🏼
you too oppo!
Thanks! You too! B-)
You too, Oppo!
Currently, our neoliberal clown government has raised the salaries of corrupt parliament lawmakers by 50 million rupiah (at least 3,000 USD), while half of the population remains poor or low-income. It’s obvious why people are angry, and now We are protesting Againsts it.
Good Lord, my country is in deep Shit
That’s sad. is there a growing socialist movement in Indonesia?
Lmao No, the closest thing are the Socdems, which suck ass.
Suharto Regime really eliminate all Socialist Movement in My country
Are there any socialist news sites or youtube channels at least?
As far as I Know, no Exactly, which is a shame
And that marks the real indicator for autocracy. When the Liberals accuse Communist governments for human rights violations, they boosted that independent media platforms, mass protests, and anti-government organizations can run freely in Communist countries without repercussion which raise question of allegation of human rights violations.
For some reason Instagram keeps sending me ads for magic mushrooms lmao. Which are illegal in Belgium btw (not in The Netherlands). I get that I am Dutch and all but you’d think they’d be able to determine my location. Or they don’t care and are willing to sell drugs. Not that I’m against that.
Calling for a Free Palestine can get you banned though.
Is it because Liberal politicians do not comprehend the fact that business advertisements are a form of indoctrination? Do they even know that a manipulation of consumer’s demand rigged the free market? The ideological justification for free market is that a private firm will change their products and services to fit the demand of consumers and not that consumers alter their culture to utilize a product or service.
I got COVID this last week. The symptoms bad as it was before, but I’m SO fatigued all the time & it really lingers more than other sicknesses. Stay safe out there comrades.
In the meantime I’m binging a show & practicing drawing quite a bit, which has brought me a lot of joy. The first character I ever drew was Luna from Sailor Moon. Now I’m practicing shading & shadows. Now I get why people draw fruit so much when they’re first learning.
PS still gay
Hell yea
The media has been underplaying the effects of Long Gay
Seriously. When I told people I knew that I had COVID they all were surprised it was still around
yeag yeag yeag
Hell yeag
Espero que ustedes tengan una buena semana.
Igualmente
Muchas gracias, tú tambien

Our city government uses Israeli spy software for the police and our party is sating they should stop it AND that there are other alternatives and I’m here like: wait why do we need it in the first place and why do we commies feel the need to defend it?
I’m more and more bothered by the gentrification in my part of the city. More and more rich middle class or upper class white people are moving in and the poorer, mostly poc inhabitants have to move away. This is why I see gentrification as a form of racism. It was way more diverse just five years ago.
In Mexico, we have been organizing against it. Some even did an announcement of a protest from a leftist meme page and had an incredible and numerous spontaneous/grassroots participation.
If you are organized with some comrades, you can give it a try and test the waters.
That’s a good idea, there should be more organising against gentrification
If you ever need some examples of posters calling for the protest, this could help:
Is it weird to fantasize about a new apartheid where genocide supporters are made second class citizens who are black listed from certain jobs and entertainment and have no right to vote?
Too much work, just kill them all at this point. If two years of a livestreamed genocide aren’t enough to deradicalize them then no amount of schooling will help.
Frida Kahlo self portrait with Stalin
Currently in Breizh. Apparently the communist party has a decent presence here. Seen some graffiti already.
Nice, may they free themselves from French cultural oppression. The Occitans, Basque and Catalans as well
Anti-immigration march in australia today had like 1% the turn out of the Free Palestine march a week ago.
