  • Marxist Leninists are defined primarily by two principles:

    • Anti Imperialism / Internationalism
    • Defense and Construction of Socialism

    It means that the Soviet Union was chiefly responsible for ending the Holocaust and supporting liberation struggles around the world. It means Cuba was able to transform itself from a strip-farmed slave and prostitution hell into a Democratic republic governed meaningfully by the Cuban people with dignity and education for all. All across east Asia it's secured home rule and governments who meaningfully care and are comprised by regular working and peasant peoples. Marxism Leninism is the historical force which has been shown to be most able to grapple with the complex realities of our world dominated by white supremacy and capitalism, and fought back.

    It's the reason that the supposed atrocities commuted by socialist countries are minor compared to the grand historic crimes of empires like France, Britain, the US, Germany, Japan, etc. Mistakes are made and have been made by socialist countries, sure, of course; but they were the first nations to attempt to meaningfully house people for the sake of housing. They were the first projects to successfully overthrow colonialism, and to raise literacy rates to an absurd degree even higher than in the United States today. These socialist projects need to defend themselves because very few other historical forces have shown anywhere near the potential to make a better world.

    So call it whatever you like, it'll never erase the monumental good it's done for the world.

    THIS is why people have a problem with Anti-Communists

  • I started by using HelloChinese to learn; it was difficult at first but learning a new language is difficult. I know if you are okay with talking with people you can try and find the apps that let you talk with native Chinese speakers, I ran into the issue though where they just wanted to practice English and their English was much better than my Chinese, so, maybe let yourself get conversational before you start using talking apps.

    In addition, I use Pleco for my flash cards and for a really accurate English <--> Chinese Dictionary (it may support Spanish as well). I have a premium account, if you'd like premium features DM me and we can swap Matrix info to get it on your account.









  • bloomer This is one of my favorite classic YT video essays, the most popular video of a niche video essayer who never blew up during the era where video essays were still a relatively new phenomena and confined to leftist spaces.

    It's a video essay about Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. It combines late 90s 3D visuals, a game that was a fascinating relic of it's time with interesting ideas on the future, and a breakdown of it's place in history and what it was trying to say.

    And I really like the guy's voice. Even though it never blew up at 50k views over 5 years it remains my comfort food video essay, especially after a bowl.
