I wouldn't even call a functional democracy "self-rule".
The point of a democracy isn't supposed to be the exaltation of the individual it's supposed to be the benefit of the majority.

slightly off topic: what would be the best method/site to download a free/pirated copy of a sociology book?
I'm not seeing many textbooks on the sites where I pirate other media
Round about manner of simply saying "not russia"
roderic day is the person largely responsible for redsails.org
I get the feeling that the Donbass front is such a fucking blown-out warzone that keeping the front there has advantages - the terrain is known and fortified, lower risk to civilian casualties, supply line to the front is well established, etc.

I think the US is largely committed to managing its decline specifically into fascism at this point. The repression of left-wing organization in all forms will be the tenet of their prior liberalism which serves as the bridge from Neo-liberalism into American Fascism. We can, should, and will still organize where we are able to within the West (if for no other reason, to survive in a conscionable manner) but we should look for our "successes" and motivations outside of the US, imo.
The mystery is the mass quantity of sugar, not the alcohol.
I mean the visible poverty in big cities is often-times pornographic and this does generate "crime" insofar as it is often illegal to be in public while not operating as an employee/customer.

Free political education, folks. Don't even have to muddy up your paws by touching a book.
crazy how much legwork just one staged (or fake, or inaccurate, etc) photo can do in terms of propaganda.
Oh I know I just had been meaning to switch anyways and that gave me the impetus.
Yep. That's what finally pushed me off notepad++
I understand frustration with the medium, but anxiety? Everyone I'm referring to clearly cites anxiety.
I think it is a sign of rampant social anxiety in the population. I know a ton of people who get mad anxiety talking on the phone, even more from talking in person with people they don't know well.
I don't really want to excuse it because people who suck at communicating are going to have a diminished quality of life overall - so it's similar to my stance on addictions; combat it where possible while not blaming the victim and instead being supportive of them.
And then some people are just rude/self-absorbed and they can kick rocks.
PSL does educational programs via Zoom and so does Prolekult via discord/youtube.
I stumbled upon this tripe in my early twenties fresh out of college and flirted with it for like a week before I found a non-sabotaged strain of communism which had a lot more explanatory power.
And now I perfume myself with a fine mist of blood fresh from the guillotines during my morning routine.
