I'm in NYC looking to get to Boston. My bus options are either Chicago or Los Angeles. I'd rather walk, thanks. Or maybe look for an alternative mode of transportation.
Someone actually wrote this thinking "wow such powerful words, I am a great person"
It's amazing how open Democrats are with "we all know this guy sucks, but what are you going to do?"
This meme just tells me that the public transportation system is garbage and needs to be overhauled through revolution.
"It seems that right up to the present quite a few have regarded Marxism-Leninism as a ready made panacea: Once you have it, you can cure all your ills with little effort. This is a type of childish blindness and we must start a movement to enlighten these people. Those who regard Marxism-Leninism as religious dogma show this type of blind ignorance. We must tell then openly, “Your dogma is of no use,” or to use an impolite formulation, “Your dogma is less useful than shit.” We see that dog shit can fertilize the fields and man’s can feed the dog. And dogmas? They can’t fertilize the fields, nor can they feed a dog. Of what use are they?" (Mao Tse-tung, Feb., 1, 1942 in Stuart Schram, The Political Thought of Mao Tse-tung).
lmao
Mao meant “fuck tankies”: leftism is for heterodox rebels / real people, and you always have to be willing to throw your own books in the ocean if it allows you to get through to people
Stalin is probably regarded as the most tanky of the tankies(though I guess not technically related to the event that created the name) and Mao was a huge fan of him. So I don't even know why you would use such a term for Mao, as Mao was quite fond of Stalin.
Stalin and the people who worship him have diverged considerably!
Is it possible that revisionists are attempting to appropriate “Stalin” as part of a Western Eurocentric psyop? Trying to trick people into maybe a broken, counter-revolutionary and reactionary fake “communism”?
Of course Mao loves Comrade Stalin. So do the Maoists. So do we all.
Hi from the Red Guard / supertankies ;)
Honestly, Mao's red book (which got slightly editorialize, but was often from Mao's tongue) is one of the most influential and memetic texts of the last 200 years. It coined so many phrases which would act like modern memes, shit- and hornyposting, e.g. the paper tiger.
Thanks - that’s why I’m voting green. If I had it my way I would be voting for the second coming of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov
You are not waiting for "the one" bus that might potentially be leaving the burning collapsing city you are trying to escape. You are getting the bus. And if there isn't one going somewhere where it's possible for humans to survive, you don't stay home and sulk - you take one to another burning collapsing building to die in.
If my bus doesn't show up I don't get on one going the wrong way. I wait for the next bus.
If my bus never came I would just go home.
I’m not going to pay $2.50 if the closest bus is only going to take me a block from where I currently am.
There aren't that many fucking busses. There are usually like one or two busses that go kind of close to where you're going but you still have to walk. The other busses will be so far away from the destination that there's no reason to take them. This person has never ridden a bus.
no, there's a suburb-of-boston bus, we just all know it doesn't have the funding to get all the way there, and won't unless more people ride it, which they don't because it's not going to get all the way there. get the fuck on. or break some shit they don't want broken.
All those buses are going the wrong way tho, I think I'll just bike, may not be convenient but definitely better for your health in the long run
Came here for the train jokes but I didn't scroll down. Y'all better be making me proud down there in the lower comments.
