      I've been dreaming for years of doing a world wide communist internationale, where people send in audio of them singing in their language, and the clips are combined into one big choir.

        I've spent the last half hour trying to find the version with subtitles. I love it too! Hexbear's limited availability of older shit is making all my bookmarks useless. This is the band but not the specific performance I'm looking for.

          There used to be a comment on the video from a guy with a cyrillic name where he not only translated every verse, but also romanized it, so you could sort of follow along even if you only read english. It was pretty fun to try to sing along to the Mandarin version, even if it's incredibly hard.

            Sorry, they're more like mental bookmarks. I tend to use the save function to save posts on the site that have conversations I want keep to from the comments (like what leftist movies do you like! or what books on china do you recommend?) but then I also search for posts based on the comments that I remember. I totally get the need to archive stuff, it just sucks. Is there no quick and easy read only caching system that could be put in place for posts of a certain age? Sadly my web dev background is all in php so I'm afraid I can't help much. But for instance on an old php based link blog I run I've got a step in the sql_query function of the Post.php page where it md5s the sql query string and then searches if there's a file with that name, if it doesn't exist it makes the query, stores the query result object in a file named for the md5 query, and then I've got a cached version of the post. then I've got a flag in that cache function that lets comments and edits update the query. This way actual activity is the only thing hitting the database rather than every refresh of the page.

      It isn't saying much, but the Japanese Communist Party exists and has slightly more punch than the US equivalent.

      the Japanese liberal communist party is the largest non ruling party in the world IIRC

          They could turn into a potential vanguard if conditions point it to that direction. Though, they could also pull an SPD while the Left forms their own group.

          It's something at least, unlike here in the states :sicko-wistful:

            Or here in Canada tbh. I mean in the CPC we run candidates in the elections, do citywide poster campaigns telling ppl to Vote Communist and stuff, but pretty much other member i know openly realizes it's not going anywhere. There are a lot of cool people involved with the party though, and I've met a surprising number of self-described commies, socialists, leftists and anarchists in the bumfuck nowhere jesus-loving maritime city im living in. I'm trying to get more involved to help find ways to do some direct action and help the community more directly. I was thinking of proposing that some members work with a local food bank or homeless shelter, but im not quite sure how to casually suggest that to leadership. If any canuck comrade knows how thatd work, id appreciate some tips (don't give the :kkkanada: :fedposting: any dox clues tho)

          No need to be infiltrated, Left politics was completely destroyed during the 60s by the ruling gov

          Or by stupid left wing cults that kill its members via struggle sessions

      Might be Chinese students studying Japanese, or Japanese students who have decided to throw their lot in with a career in China and dgaf about what Japan thinks of them (more common than you'd think).

    Sorry, the Mao era one is so much better, not even a contest. I'm sorry but, this is so saccharine it's painful to listen too.
