  • Radio Free Asia being considered anything other than US sponsored propaganda is all you need to know about Wikipedia lmao

    A few days ago I tried editing some false claims in a local wiki page about my country's democratic army in the 40's supposedly not including women and even being abusive towards them. There are whole books and many photos about the massive participation in the army by women, especially given the very patriarchal society at the time. I edited all that stuff out and added a comment linking to a relevant book with ISBN and everything (the proffessor that made the original change had no significant source). Soon enough, an admin comes in and reverts it without any justification or response to my comment. Fuck NATOpedia

    Very good effort post order-of-lenin











  • This is all cool and all but keep in mind that these are only just lifestyle choices at the end of the day and don't affect the system in the slightest.

    You can try to leave a cheap life and avoid supporting monopolies etc, but only a massive organized movement can achieve real change. "Alternatives to capitalism" when referring to personal ways of living is only a matter of aesthetics, often used by opportunists to slow down the formation of a real and fierce social movement out in the streets.

    If you want to fight for the end of capitalism, join an org and/or a union. Go to protests, join strikes, organize your co-workers etc. It's much easier said than done, but only collective real world action can move history forward.
