    The Voice of a Communist.

    The voice of a communist cannot be silenced,
    Just like conscience, if it exists within a person.
    One must simply be a communist,
    Every moment, every day, always, forever.

    The voice of a communist is in their actions,
    When they understand life and do not back down,
    When you remain faithful, kind, and compassionate,
    And carry the truth with all your strength.

    The voice of a communist does not choose times,
    It doesn’t say that the time has not yet come.
    It is an eternal endeavor, where vision is clear and the back is straight,
    Where everyone stands up for others, bearing their own and others’ burdens.

    The voice of a communist is to fight without stopping,
    To create every day for those who will follow you.
    It is reconnaissance, attention, logic, understanding the meaning of the trick,
    That tries to tell us that our “red” is no longer the same.

    The voice of a communist is our eternal banner of victory,
    It is our truth and conscience, when you move forward with faith,
    It is the eyes in the photograph of your grandmother, your grandfather,
    And the understanding that you are not living in vain.

    Denis Chernov

    I remembered Minecraft Story Mode today.

    I was thinking about how the creator of the Wither Storm made a potion in case he lost control of it. But even though the potion never gets used, I don’t think there was ANY chance of that potion working.

    I have no evidence for this, but I don’t think the equivalent of a nuke could’ve been stopped so easily.

    I started off the day either neutral or hopeful. I knew that American election days tend to be challenging, and that I couldn’t expect too much. I thought I could let a little bit of hope out, but I was met with a pretty soul crushing response - I somehow did the ‘leftist doomer’ thing even though I was not going in with that intention. I’ve been very reassured in recent years at how many Americans seem to be open to systemic change and a real social change, even if so many incredible people have pegged it as impossible.

    Now, in a complete inversion to my sense this morning, I feel… like Americans only want fascism. They got the blue wave, and I want for some of them to somehow twist that into their sense of reformist win if it will somehow keep them struggling. People outside of the US will be not be shocked if I say that I’m doubting if Americans want to struggle. I’m feeling very hopeless.

    I did do the foolish and childish thing of not eating any food today, which is certainly fueling my emotional reaction, but I know that after I have had some food I will still feel rudderless and like a stranded, failed Communist, unwilling to do any meaningful work for change. I also feel extremely narcissistic writing this in a public forum! In America no less!!!

    Feeling dread, might delete later!!!

      You aren’t a failed communist for feeling the way you do and you aren’t narcissistic for being open about it. Please get some food and be kind to yourself, comrade.

      Here is my prediction: the current crop of “democratic socialist” socdems that were elected this year and that will be elected in 2028, 5-10 years from now will be the biggest warmongers and most fanatical advocates for regime change, color revolutions and pink-washed neocolonialism, as they realize that the social democratic welfare system they promised to protect and expand cannot be maintained in this terminal, moribund phase of capitalism and a de-industrializing imperal core without the plunder of the global south, whose slipping away from the imperial grasp they will seek to halt and reverse at all costs.

      I mean the democrats will do nothing with their majority. The PSL has gotten pretty decent numbers this year though. Almost 100,000 in Ohio.

      I hope to see the PSL do pretty good during 2028. But in the meantime I do not understand all of the optimism from a blue wave

          I personally feel crazy for observing history, with old and recent examples, even if I couch it by saying that history isn’t a perfect predictor of the future!

    Is it correct to say that the USSR/Russian Federation has the highest Nazi kill count?

    I don’t want to equate the two, but modern Russia kept the tradition of killing nazis going.

      I am feeling a little lethargic. I just finished my presentation yesterday and I have so many other things that I really need to do but…I still haven’t quite gotten back the energy to do them. Many of these range from another important project that I need to write and FOMO from a online gaming tournament that I need to grind for.

      But overall, I think I should recover my energy and desire tomorrow…at least that’s how I am planning about it.

    can’t use the Summit app for some reason

    also, i may need a VPN; I can’t access the only other book website like Z Library or Anna’s Archive that I know of (oceanstopdfs, I think)

    Basically, I need a VPN, but I can’t really afford one at the moment

    i got an onion video in my feed about 2026 usa election. they were taking about abdul el-sayed, but i am out of the loop, so i thought it was a photoshopped zelenskyy, and was idly wondering what was happening now. i thought it had something mildly to do with a color revolution for some reason (i thought of regime changes in west asia maybe? that’s why it was a photoshopped zelenskyy) and a parody of it (which didn’t gel otherwise with the title, but i just felt like i was maybe oblivious). turns out el-sayed’s real, actually, and a senator-elect as of right now.

    unrelated, but what the hell really is the electoral college? wouldn’t they remove such a glaring embarrassment that’s recognized even by those still enamored by ‘liberal democracy’ within capitalism?

      the democrats don’t even pretend they want to please or serve the people anymore. the imagined monopoly capitalism has on their future means they can set any price, and the people think they only have two choices: killing everyone else in the world with the .3% chance THIS time the dems will enshrine roe v. wade, and killing everyone else in the world while the president uses chatGPT to make really funny images of him actively shitting on the people

    The youtube algorithm was trying to push a liberal segment on me. One of those last week tonight things with John Oliver, something about the republican party and “worrying trends” that it’s becoming more nazi-like / supporting of nazism.

    I was like, I’ll try it for research to see what the liberals are saying. Couldn’t get through it. For starters, as to be expected from liberals, the rhetoric is incredibly weak. John Oliver saying stuff like “it’s worrying” and “it seems like” while pulling out some examples at random of republicans doing or saying nazi-like stuff or being supportive of them. Then he pulls out this clip of Lindsay Graham saying words to the effect that he’s not in support of the nazi stuff coming out of the republican party, the same Lindsay Graham who supported NATO-Ukraine, a hub for neo-nazis and barbaric mercenaries (I know, bit redundant labeling there). But of course he doesn’t include that part at all, he gives credit to Lindsay Graham. Then he does the classic liberal maneuver of showing part of a clip of a Nick Fuentes / Tucker Carlson interview (giving airtime to the worst people to “debate them in the marketplace of ideas”), but to make matters worse, he doesn’t even do a good job of dissecting what is said in the interview. Then, and this is the part where I couldn’t bear any more, he throws in this thing about how Fuentes supposedly claimed to like Stalin in the interview and then does a liberal anti-communist jab about Stalin.

    Like good god man, the thesis of your segment is that nazism is getting worse in the republican party and you aren’t even politically literate enough to recognize Stalin as a historical opponent of nazis; or worse, you do know and are pretending not to know in order to muddy the waters.

    I don’t know how I ever watched this trash TV in the past. Liberals are maliciously bad at countering fascism.

      Liberals are maliciously bad at countering fascism.

      Liberals don’t exist. There are crypto-fascists and there are politically/historically illiterate people who live in a fairy tale world divorced from material reality. Oliver is a crypto-fascist as is every other liberal pundit of note.
