yes, leftypol has their own booru, but it’s kind of dead, uses some old booru software which is kind of hard to maintain, etc. i think it could be improved and used in our community
It is not the consciousness of men that determines their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines their consciousness.
Karl Marx (Marx Selected Works, Vol. I, p. 269.)

I watched some videos by Jiang Xueqin where he says this, but beyond that if you see the data it’s what makes the most sense. Also the oil sites, I watched a video (I don’t remember where this was) but an oil rig caught on fire simply by debris from a drone crash nearby, image if you actually would want to hit them. Easy target that’s impossible to defend. This also draws parallels with the Ukrainian SMO, where Russia hits critical infrastructure, the difference is that these places are so artificially created by the Big Oil that disrupting civilian life is way more easier to do than in a country like Ukraine. There’s the whole debate about whether is convenient, because of nuclear annihilation but you wouldn’t even be attacking Israel directly, just disrupting the petrodollar.

This shows data from the globe, you need to filter where you want to see.


Desalination plants along with oil rigs would be one of the primary targets in my opinion. If plants are hit most countries would run out of water in about 2 weeks, hitting oil rigs would prevent them from further producing what is mostly their only source of income, plus they are dependant on selling oil to purchasing food which they don’t produce much. Roughly 70% of the GCC’s food supply enters through the Strait of Hormuz. This is leverage for the GCC to not go fully into pro-nazionist mode, but it is a double edged sword since Iran mostly has the same weakness but not to such an extent.

No, these things predate Capitalism, but Capitalism creates a link between these “hobbies” and capital. So these activies are not something you enjoy but rather commodities that define you based on your purchase power. Add to this the cult like mentality of corporations and branding and you get a perfect combo for making something we could like in a healthy way be something totally toxic.


Sadly Venezuela is probably the country with the biggest gusano per capita in LATAM, every Venezuelan immigrant I’ve known and even a lot of inhabitants are completely brain cucked by burguer propaganda. I worked for a Venezuelan company and literally every single one of them were gusanos, and we were all being fucked it’s not like it was some high income job.


thanks, fingers crossed i dont die /s


I know I live there lol


Argentina is neither a jungle nor a garden, it seems. Lol.
I think (depending on how old is each of us and if one doesn’t die because of other reasons) that we’re going to presence the collapse of the empire.


I want to also add this quote, which I think illustrates my point quite clearly.
Marxism-Leninism holds that each of the two stages in the process of cognition has its own characteristics, with knowledge manifesting itself as perceptual at the lower stage and logical at the higher stage, but that both are stages in an integrated process of cognition. The perceptual and the rational are qualitatively different, but are not divorced from each other; they are unified on the basis of practice. Our practice proves that what is perceived cannot at once be comprehended and that only what is comprehended can be more deeply perceived. Perception only solves the problem of phenomena; theory alone can solve the problem of essence. The solving of both these problems is not separable in the slightest degree from practice. Whoever wants to know a thing has no way of doing so except by coming into contact with it, that is, by living (practicing) in its environment. In feudal society it was impossible to know the laws of capitalist society in advance because capitalism had not yet emerged, the relevant practice was lacking. Marxism could be the product only of capitalist society. Marx, in the era of laissez-faire capitalism, could not concretely know certain laws peculiar to the era of imperialism beforehand, because imperialism, the last stage of capitalism, had not yet emerged and the relevant practice was lacking; only Lenin and Stalin could undertake this task. Leaving aside their genius, the reason why Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin could work out their theories was mainly that they personally took part in the practice of the class struggle and the scientific experimentation of their time; lacking this condition, no genius could have succeeded.


They discovered us, we’re finished.


It all comes down to dialectics and the transition from quantity to quality, basically. There’s no such thing as Maoism or Dengism, simply Marxism Leninism, and that was too what Mao thought, hence why he preferred the term Mao Zedong Thought, which would imply simply, theory written by him. The reason why there is a difference between Marxism and Marxism Leninism is because Lenin effectively changed Marxist theory in a way that modified the quality of the content in a way that it is no longer essentially the same. Lenin focused his ideas in the time were capitalism was adapting to new ways under the disguise of imperialism, and focused on praxis, creating a completely different analysis than that which Marx and Engels had written. On the other hand, all of the thinkers that came after him are simply following his steps and expanding the Marxist Leninist thought but not in a way that radically changes the thought. People who call themselves Maoists, or even worse, Dengists, are nothing but people who failed to understand dialectical materialism and are trapped within a dogmatic crossroads. If you read Mao, and you read Deng, you’ll notice that both of them have policies that are in accordance with each other and when you look at the policies taken by them through the lenses of a 50 year old time lapse in the future, they decisions improved the lives of the working class.
This is a really good text on the subject.


I guess they moved from Norway to Ukraine.


As far as I know that happens because in Linux ctrl+v and middle click pastes are stored in different places and are considered different things, in fact there’s a third way to paste which I don’t remember. But basically the middle click paste is used whenever you select a string, there’s no need to copy it, and the ctrl+v paste works when you do ctrl+c.


So edgy, what a bad boy.


It looks beautiful, Cassidy worked on elementaryOS so he knows a thing or two about good GUI design. I wish that project could get more funding since it’s one of the best looking distros but it simply gets so lagged behind due to slow development.
yeah, that would be ideal, it’d need some integration but it’d be doable. i will try and see if i can make it work code wise, although hosting will be the issue.
