what's keeping yall sane these days? for me.....breakfast.

holy shit people are fucking ridiculous, man.

leftistgamermemes literally used the word "socialism" to mean the benefits that would be available to all of us under a socialist economy as the concessions given to soldiers in exchange for their service to capital. Is it scientifically correct? No, but it isn't exactly wrong either. The things that your government employee; military or not; and much more, would be readily available to everyone under a socialist governance. Despite the meme doing very well on the page and actually doing okay on chapo, multiple people completely lost their fuckin' shit over a fucking meme I didn't even create.

Is this meme saying that socialism is when politicans get stuff or obviously that a select few enjoy the benefits we all would enjoy under socialism? Like jesus, people are acting like it's saying "socialism is when government does stuff" without looking deeper whatsoever into the context or the fact that it's playing off nostalgia to begin with. I genuinely had someone sitting there and asking me "if I knew how much damage this slop is doing" while at the same time telling me I'm overrepresenting it/deflecting/shifting blame on something I didn't even fucking create. Schrodinger's Slop.

Do veterans control the means of production? Are they democratically represented in government? Beyond some of them getting a pension or some equivalent, is there anything protecting them from the grinding gears of the class society that they are still in the underclass of?

not the tiny small-bean uwu baby-killers that literally get a plethora of benefits for themselves, their spouse and their children for literally servicing a death-machine. The thing protecting them from the "gears of class society" is their service and even then they are given a lot more than your average person to prevent them from "falling down". It as a system just has zero issue shrugging off the undesirables and "useless". There's plenty of soldiers out there who have recognized and realized otherwise, but I'm not going to pretend like most of them are good people. Sadly, a genuine chunk of the good ones killed themselves. I don't mean that in a edgy "haha dead soldier is a good soldier" but the ones high in empathy don't last too long.

I dunno about you but a three month old account seemingly fully dedicated to creating as much argument and division out of a fucking gaming meme screams really weird to me, but then again we have eight people posting the same question repeatedly without any further thinking or consideration than the tik-tok clip of Richard Wolf looping in their brain. Yes, I do know some of them were joking.

There was a big event organized by a left wing party in Mexico and they invited plenty of parties in the world(primarily from Latin America).

It was so big that a lot of Europeans joined it including Serbian, French, Spain, Belarus and Moldovan. There were 3 parties from Russia: komros, KPRF and United Russia.

From Asia, we had Laotian, CPC and Vietnamese. (Edit 1 AND the DPRK's PTC)

In the event, the Venezuelans even explained there socialist communal system and the transition that they are currently planning to make to phase out the outdated representative bourgeois democracy at the base of society. Pretty interesting.

You can check out some of the participants in the following list.

Also, Palestinian comrades joined the event!

Hope everyone has a pleasant week, sticks with their goals and plans, and takes care of themselves.

Communism will win.

I have the opportunity to get therapy and it has now led to some heavy introspection to think about how I got to this point. I had to take the day off today because of this. On the one hand it is good to finally get therapy, on the other hand it is tiring.

I'm also feeling let down with party work as basically nothing of value is coming forward. Just a meeting now and then, no real activist or other organising stuff. I'd love for us to start leading by example and set up some direct action stuff in the city but I've already said this a few times without getting a real response.

I spend the weekend in my hometown and that means, for me, spending time in the middle of a blue collar, working class community. I have trouble linking the people that join our party with the typical working class people I grew up with. Or at least the side of the party I am active in. Mostly educated, straight out of college leftist type of people. Which is not wrong per se, but I feel like we are starting to get that type of person tunnel vision, you know? I personally never gratuated college and through blue collar work managed to get where I am now and sometimes our party group feels like losing track with what keeps the working class busy. My dad, working a blue collar job for 30+ years now, does not see the need to sign the umpteenth petition for example. And neither do I feel the need to ask people to sign the umpteenth petition if I had to be honest. We need to do more.

Just a rant and I'll probably figure things out but if you can't reach the working class en masse after more than two decades of right wing policies I feel like you are doing things wrong.

I hope you all have a nice week :D

Are the protests in Morocco legit? Or a color revolution?
