3000 miles to Vladivostok from LA really puts into perspective how massive the USSR was

I remember enjoying it for the most part

It's been a shell of its former self for a while now. What really needs to happen is to make the old episodes public domain, so they can be streamed from any service for free. I think the show has said all it needs to say, my kids are still going through the old seasons. They'll be teenagers by the time they hit the most recent episodes.

The fact that Zaslav decided to take most of the old episodes off of Max is a crime against humanity

I like it, it made me chuckle

Ban me, you cowards

Oof the world really dodged a bullet there. Critical support to the sucdem party of occupied Korea for forcing the vote against the coup

Platitudes and even actual quotes or ideas taken out of context and projected onto whatever topic as if they're universal truths.

This is a never ending problem, made even more difficult by the fact that quippy slogans are essential for the success of a revolution.

It was banned five years ago. The heyday was 2017-2018

I thought they essentially had control over the Arab spring? Wasn't it mostly used to advance Western interests in the end?

Kamala took advice from her brother in law, who is an Uber executive. She worked hard to cozy up to billionaires and involve them in her campaign. Her personal goal was to embed herself into ruling class circles, or possibly curry their favor to keep the Democratic party donor machine running. Everything else was secondary

Obviously they should join the kpd and do direct action, they're not mutually exclusive

Ok but imagine for a moment that someone is getting radicalized because of the shit health insurance industry. How does immediately jumping to talking about Palestine help that radicalization process? Guide them to groups that combine the Palestinian struggle with more broad based workers struggles. Start with the issues that effect their immediate material conditions and work outward from there by encouraging education and involvement in the org

I always forget that not everyone is American

It's our job to guide people toward the PSL right now

Oh I didn't even consider that. I guess I was thinking more of an assassination of a powerful American with a generally positive approval from the public. That's like the one thing Americans usually won't stomach. John Brown "only" took over a military compound

Yeah, we get martyred, but when has an assassination of a powerful American been so well-recieved by the public?

I feel like Assad is a good benchmark. If this site allowed critical support for Assad, it must allow critical support for Luigi. It's not like Assad wasn't problematic in a million different ways

I'm going to post my reddit comment replying to a discussion about how Lenin's critique of adventurism applies in this situation, because I think it sums up my thoughts pretty well:

Lenin was critiquing socialists engaging in adventurism, who should know better. If this dude were in the PSL or something, the party would be in the uncomfortable position of needing to publicly distance themselves from him if they want to maintain a disciplined ideology rooted in democratic centralism. But the fact that this was some tech bro who had to face the material conditions of the health insurance industry and organically gravitated toward an adventurist strategy-- that's something else entirely. That's a barometer of class malcontent in the general population, and it seems to be off the charts at the moment
