The funny thing is, the original split was the DKP (China Good) vs KO (China Bad)

Which developed into the KO (China Bad) vs KO (China Good).

The two splitting orgs had the same name until earlier this year.

There’s two (one now, I suppose). One has tendencies towards it, the other isn’t.

No, it’s the “Communist Organisation”, a split off the German Communist Party (DKP), which split again over China good (this faction) vs the China bad faction (the less wacky one, which founded the group “Communist Party” earlier this year)

Wagenknecht is completely unrelated. Her new party (BSW) doesn’t even consider itself socialist, nor does she. Her model is Ludwig Erhard, the first post-war economics minister, from the Christian Democratic Party.

There’s also MAGA-Communists in Germany, it’s very funny.

Głowa mnie dzisiaj boli a tu jeszcze takie coś…

Sure, let’s reconcile the two most hostile factions of the left. That will surely work.

Yes, but it looks different so Americans get the urge to mock.

I’m in the process of getting my license, because the fucking countryside means either that, two and a half plus hours’ daily commutes or unemployment.

Fuck me, my first lesson involving actual driving was one of the most stressful experiences of my life. Especially since, from talking to people I know online and IRL, I got thrown into an unusually deep end immediately and the instructor kept screaming at me.

I was able to try my mom’s small car after that in a public training area and the much lower power, not needing to actively look down to see the speed, RPM, etc., not being in city traffic and not having a screaming old guy who probably learned this job in the army next to me made it a significantly more pleasant experience.

If public transportation were more like in Berlin or Japan, there’d be absolutely 0 competition from cars.

Slayers is great, especially the first two seasons, before it went anime original.

It was not voluntary.

Oh hey, my family did this back in early 2010s Italy. The local gold and silver dealership proudly displayed a copy of L. Ron Hubbard’s Dianetics near the counter, that was fun.

New Windows feature… same as a virus?

Iowa man hauls grain, becomes involved in a minor diplomatic incident. Meanwhile, someone else on the ship wonders if he’s fated to become his own ancestor.

Compare that with Ukraine’s 90% approval of independence in 1991.

71,5% for staying in the USSR in the March '91 referendum (83,5% turnout) - 92% against in the December 1991 one (84% turnout)

The public opinion turned around very fast in one year. Then the Communist Party and other left wing parties were the strongest in the late 90s. It’s like Lenin’s quote about there being weeks where decades happen. There’s no reason why it could not happen again or elsewhere.

Nah, it’s the New Left -> Neoliberal pipeline, except for some reason they refused to admit it for themselves unlike in most other countries.

Some still can be considered leftists in spite of questionable views on foreign policy, but the majority are r/neoliberal types. Then there’s the sizeable amount of racists and clash of civilization types.

Bourgeois politicians being map gamers is not surprising, but very concerning.

Yeah, it’s a decent site. Their reviews are a good way to find out what seasonals are interesting, which are horny nonsense… and sometimes praise is given to shows that are both.

I thought my name would be on a file by now wtf.

It might. It however needs to be actually accessed. If they don’t think it necessary, then they likely won’t bother.

That reminds me of when I was in Helsinki airport.

I still had some time for my flight, and was walking around to get something to eat. The place itself is very cozy, lots of wooden architecture, places arranged to seem like they’re in the middle of a forest, etc. Then I look the wrong way and see inside the smokers’ lounge. There, a bald middle-aged guy wearing a black hoodie with the coat of arms of Nazi Germany on it, vaping.

I somehow doubt that person got into any trouble for it. One of the rare Germany Ws is that that would be very illegal here.

If there’s one country you can rely on to rattle the sabre, it’s Poland.

Always nice to see how it’s 1910 and the bourgeois governments of the world are marching to what both sides see as the war to end all wars and capitalism with them at the helm leading to pax [country]. (do trzech razy sztuka)
