The last part, could you elaborate more? It covers a lot of international movements and socialist history. I don’t think it’s focused towards the U.S at all; just that a lot of the common mythos about communism tends to come from the United States or the West in general. Do you feel it’s not focusing enough on other nations or organizations?

Fair criticisms, but in the same sense; I think the leadership/upper echelons of CPUSA leadership might deserve some criticism themselves. Plenty of us understand more local branches are more serious nor willing to compromise with the Democrat Party. What exactly about their writings on FRSO do you not like?

I think you also should realize ProleWiki has only a small group of people working on it. There is threads discussing on development and writing for it. Have you ever participated in those?

No, no, I was asking a genuine comment on why China can’t just submit to white western overlords and bow to their will! Come on guys, China can’t fight back…that’s colonialism!

/s

Using this same set of logic, how can the governments surrounding China claim to be peaceful while hosting countless military bases surrounding the nation and each one of those governments having a history of either global hegemony (Phillipines being historically a U.S colony) or are DIRECT FASCISTS like the KMT in Taiwan.

Then again, if we’re speaking in genuine comments, I guess the people in those countries that was reconciliation with China are just Wumao Tankies that hate democracy and circle-jerk. Right? In the end, at least the community has a purpose.

Of course China isn’t gonna be friendly with Taiwan. If the Confederacy existed to this day, do you think the Union would be friendly to them? Once again, misplaced double-think. None of your comments have been “genuine”. They are loaded with rhetoric and a vile sense of righteousness from a Western perspective.

Don’t worry, the heckin good occupation government of Taiwan might do that for you. Especially if you are anti-capitalist or offend the wrong officer.

You’re free to talk about color revolutions and be disingenuous about discussion here if you like. I’ll give you bonus points in that you’re the first drive-through liberal that actually took the time to stop and order.

What would you like to talk about on the menu? Hong Kong? What was originally a Chinese territory heavily exploited for over a century by British capitalists and forced to be GIVEN to the British under contract of duress? It’s funny you bring up this train of thought, because I’m curious on what the justification is.

Is it that they deserve autonomy? Well, why doesn’t the eastern regions in Ukraine deserve autonomy? Because they’re sponsored by Russia? Is Hong Kong not sponsored by the West? Do you not see this double-think? There is nuance here; more than just “taking sides” and a hell of lot more completely obscured by propaganda that has been spinning since the Cold War.

Or is it because of geopolitical legalese and global law dominated by a Western hegemony? What are your thoughts?

https://lemmygrad.ml/post/1153 Some great things here; complete with resources talking about Hong Kong and other well-woven mythos about the super duper evil China that you’ve been led to believe.

One thing I wanted to note, while expensive now, 3d printing is gonna annihilate a lot of these steep entry costs when it becomes easier to use/to afford. Can’t wait to see it happen.

Growing up I was lucky my dad was a machinist. Being on the border of millenial and Gen Z a lot of the old windows XP shitters were getting tossed out with some pretty hefty graphics cards for the time for CAD and design. When we had electricity it was pretty nice to be able to play space pinball and learn how to use a computer. Without that, I probably would’ve never been interested in the internet; for the better or for the worse.

puts on lib hat

shits pants

shrug I got a job, gf and a pretty normal life. I find genuine joy in fucking with nazi apologists and supremacists. You can take your concern trolling and move on because if that’s the case I guess most of hexbear is unhealthy (You may have a point with that)

I have other hobbies too, mtg, painting miniatures, reading, etc. Why exactly does me fucking with these people deem me as unhealthy? I think you’re, for some reason, blowing this out of proportion on comm that is specifically dedicated to screenshots screwing with anarchists/ultras. Do you go on every post and concern troll?

I prefer mocking them and making them invoke death threats towards me. Do you wanna see my sick collection?

By the way, you’re not changing Nazi apologists like this. Somehow these types of anarchists fall into this trap every single fucking time.

I wonder why.

It was a Ukraine Azov apologia thread smack dab in the middle of a leftist space I frequent.

I did not care for civilities with Nazi sympathizers.

Surely this is sign of Ukraine eventually going to win and singlehandedly kick RuZZia’s ass! /s

Mm, understandable. Sorry, tons of drive-through lib commments here recently.

And depressions are cyclical responses by the capitalists to push more people into poverty so further wealth is accumulated.

your point?

Death to fucking America.

THIS TRULY IS A LIB DRIVE-THRU COMMENT MOMENT; WILL HE RETURN AND COMMENT? NOPE!

Okay, smug lib. Way to completely miss the point. You’re so very good and proud on your little moral grandstand pedestal. Killing bad, mmkay! So smart!

Everyone uses violence dipshit. Guess which state and monopoly of violence has been around longer and has killed far more people. It isn’t the communists. Take your smug centrism and fuck off to your neckbeard programming instances.

My current partner I found a near instantaneous synergy. We both fell in love pretty much right away and we met on Hinge of all places. The texts were nice, but meeting each other in person was even sweeter when we realized both how similar we are and how many things we can share with each other.

From that point on it was bonding, working on our relationship and growing closer to each other. I’m not quite sure how to put it. There’s certainly an immediate bond in a lot of the people I’ve dated, perhaps out of 2 of them we “gradually” grew closer. I’m the type to move fast, anyways, so I guess that could be my first preference. I don’t rush, but at the same time I like it when me and my partner are endlessly curious about each other and want to know everything right away.

Empathy and life experience is nice. My current partner isn’t from as rough as a background as most of my others previously but they do not fail to understand the strife and struggle that a lot of people go through. Emotional intelligence, introspection; that whole thing.

Maturity and responsibility is also a very big one. I like someone with niche interests as well.

I could go on for a while, but while politics are important; the partner I have currently is quite politically apathetic. They enjoy listening to me talk about politics, pretty much always sides with what I’m saying about politics and understands it to the bit of deeper minutia but just isn’t particularly interested in participating or choosing a side. I have gotten them more interested in certain things, however.

It’s taught me that allies can be people that don’t seem politically aligned at all and simply just agree with pretty much everything that your saying, but aren’t terminally online like we are to really attach themselves to labels, identities, etc. They can carry respect, be tolerant, support our cause but I guess with the high-stress field they’re in it’s hard for them to really think about things like that while studying for it. Not quite sure how others would interpret it.

“Counter-revolutionaries” that actively try to harm socialist projects? Sure. Far, far less than “dirty reds” and socialists (and beyond) killed in the hegemon and the third world to enforce the hegemony or protect private interests. Just ask Chiquita.

Do you have an example where there was some unjust mass execution or “persecution” related to a “counter-revolution” accusation? Perhaps, we can look more into it and the details surrounding it. That’s my favorite part!

Or are you talking about when a PatSoc gets cancelled on twitter.

Seeing a lot of where people stand and I agree; I do want to play devil’s advocate.

U.S military spending is ridiculous. Even for the levels of grift that occur, dear god is it ridiculous. I’d be more interested in the projects ready to be unleashed in the ghoul chambers if anything. Let us talk a minute for how brutally monstrous this nation is. Not even in just say, socio-economics or cultural or even our settler-colonial genocides. Just science. Look at the abysmal things we did to advance science before we recruited literal fucking Nazis to our academia. How we treated the mentally ill. After we recruited Nazis, look at the biological weapons programs that were rolled full-steam ahead in the 50s onwards. Operation Whitecoat, where they mention that similar studies still happen today.

What things do we not know that are buried deep where you have to drive out to bum-fuck, dry-ass nowhere with nothing but red sand, mountains and tall ass chollas and saguaros by a little abandoned rest-stop that has zero fucking record or address where you take an elevator 8 minutes down to maintenance tunnels connected to railways that span across the entire United States. Black Mesa isn’t real, but they sure do have things like it that have been being built and funded by exorbitant amounts of wealth in black documents for decades. Even billionaires had projects like this back in the 1800s. Rockefeller owned quite an interesting plot of land out here in New York smack-dab in the middle of a national park.

https://localwiki.org/hsl/Bay_Pond?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR02sB2cwnPbeOwLh7Cr24vnMVAfIiPQJNnbkOStB_OLYWXiKtfjKMjEDtQ_aem_vScmJp8lwjnJT7l_sInKoA This shit is weird as fuck, in the middle of a huge national park and no one talks about it at all. So we know massive private entities have been building compounds and various “sites” even before China existed.

I do not doubt China would win, but thinking of the things that lurk in the depths of the Empire is quite terrifying. Ultimately, any war between them would be marked by mass death and limited engagement before either some form of stalemate is achieved or both nations go nuclear.
