U.S. police have arrested more protesters in just two weeks, than the Hong Kong police arrested in four violent months in 2019.
  • How many protestors dissapeared in Hong Kong after being arrested for bullshit reasons?

  • Cheap meal options? 🥺
  • Egg fried rice is cheap, easy and vegetarian. If you cook your veggies with garlic, onion and chillies, and you top it off with soya sauce you're gonna have an intense taste lol. It might be a 'weird consistency' though, since it's quite soft, but you'll have to be the judge of that.

  • Capitalists don’t care if we burn
  • No, you don't understand. Decades of imperialist propaganda has taught me that China is BAD, and everything that they do is BAD, so how can they possibly do something GOOD? Checkmate

  • Conservative Theory be like
  • No antifa

  • Informal poll: What’s your favorite bird
  • They are! Sunbirds are basicially the African (imo prettier but I'm biased) version of the hummingbird

  • Informal poll: What’s your favorite bird
  • Sunbird. They have pretty voices and come in SO MANY COLOURS

  • For those of you wondering, this is why JT needs more money to keep running his channel
  • I tend to agree with your conclusion, but I'm gonna run with the argument. If JT is a capitalist selling the idea of liberation, does this mean his videos were somehow more proletarian or revolutionary before he employed people? He still "sold" the idea of liberation, he just didn't engage in labour exploitation to do it.

    Besides, I think you're missing the point of the post. JT was explaining why it's neccesary for Second Thought to generate revenue, and like another commenter said, that would still be neccessary even if the channel was a coop.

    Also, we don't have any information on how the business is structured or what the workplace's democracy looks like. After all, the only thing that really determines if it's labour exploitation or not is what happens with the surplus value the company workers generate. If it goes to JT, sure, he's a capitalist, but we don't have that kind of information, so I'm not willing to make that judgement (yet).

  • Starting to feel like the entirety of dentistry is a scam
  • Do you happen to know which lecture it is? I'd like to give it a listen

  • Why has Stalin been so propagandized?
  • Fair enough. There's no account of Jesus being homophobic in the Gospels, but the Church, excluding a minority of LGBTQ+ affirming denominations, is very much a homophobic institution. I've heard Christians justify or condemn practically every act known to man using Jesus' words, so depending on who you listen to, he very well might have been a homophobe.

  • Why has Stalin been so propagandized?
  • "Unshakeably principled as a communist and anti-imperialist", nowhere was it mentioned he was a perfect human, especially on social issues. What is your point exactly? No-one on this instance is saying that Stalin was jesus, and even Jesus was a homophobe

  • What are you currently reading?
  • Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism. I'm a new ML so I'm still reading the fundamentals.

    Here ask if something you're not sure about is normal (Serious)
  • Can't speak of other but I do, yes. I began doing it almost subconsciously when I started losing weight / exercising.

  • No, that's not normal. Do your hands hurt when handling other tools like your smartphone, keyboard, scissors, etc?

  • Any good soviet movie recommendations?

    Title, basically. I'm looking for some good (preferably fiction) soviet movies I can relax to. Any recommendations?

    The Economist calls Julius Malema 'the most dangerous man in South Africa' because he is for nationalization.
  • Very refreshing to see a sober perspective on the EFF. There are plenty of good things about them, but ultimately they're still servants of capital so I can't see them escaping the problems that plague the ANC. It's worth it to remember that the ANC also campaigned on a platform of nationalisation and job creation up until 1994, but when push came to shove they capitulated to neoliberal reforms. I don't have much faith the same won't happen to the EFF, but as you said, alteast they're good at making the racists scared :)
