yeah rybar is an ultranationalist. the soviet narratives that he wants to rethink are internationalism and multiculturalism
ebbok. it's cheaper in the long run, easier to carry around (on public transport for instance), can highlight and bookmark easily
If I were to reform Russian right now I would make stress markers obligatory (in addition to improving gendering). It would make it so much easier to learn, even though maybe it’ll look a bit cluttered.
Even in high school some teachers wouldnt say anything if it wasnt written in cursive. I think it is getting sort of phased out by the younger generations.
As other commenters have said, they do bring it up, you just don't hear about it on western media. I've experienced it in former soviet, yugoslavia states.
Heavenly Bodies. You play astronauts on a space station doing menial tasks, but the difficulty is that you have to control all your limbs properly to move around in zero-g. It's tricky (has easier modes tho) but is really satisfying when you learn how to work together to fling screwdrivers around.
PSL seems to officially hold no stance on stalin or trotsky which is just...weird
this is not serious posting
Right now trying to workshop an idea/essay/post to critique the western marxist call to action "organise, mutual aid, vote" as the end form of leftist politics. In a way, using marxist ideas to modify (or upgrade) liberalism to be more just/moral. Marxist analysis is undeniable, so it must be co-opted. At the same time I think struggle (unions, mutual aid orgs etc.) within the current system is completely justified, I'm no accelerationist. I just think it is interesting from an ideological point of view that for a lot of Western leftists, marxism exists as an extension of liberalism (in the sense of ensuring individual rights i guess), rather than its rejection. For example, I often hear that to really achieve the "american dream" you have to join a union or vote for socdems, without criticizing the initial premise of the american dream. P.S. this was motivated by a youtube person who I thought was revolutionary actually having rather moderate socdem takes (I probably should have expected this).
I am sure there is an article like this on redsails or something, or maybe a thread here that I've missed?
I agree. Both Dems and Reps use pseudo-socialist talking points (pro worker, anti rich) so a lot of it is already ingrained in the US psyche. It is not dissonant for them to agree with socialist arguments one day and then with republican newscasters the next day. I’ve had staunch libertarians tell me that they actually want communism more than communists.
Yeah womens centers are really hit or miss. Lesbian/gay bars are also an option if you are comfortable with it, but it is a bit difficult to make connections on the spot there. Also, sometimes orgs post more on Instagram or Facebook, so you might want to check those too.
Check your local orgs by searching [city name] lgbt organisation and see what pops up. There are usually dedicated locations in bigger cities. I’ve also seen womens centers have an lgbt section. How does this sound for you?
I know libertarians who specifically vote for that so that the fed can’t do anything
