The only real pain had come from putting my shoe on, I’ve had alot worse from a lot less. The xray nurse was shocked that I had walked in and assumed it was just severe bruising. Hard as nail lol. And yes, this is the kick in the ass that will keep me in line. I’m attending an alcohics anonymous type thing (non religious), with a friend soon. I had been found blundering around a coastal path in the dark. And where I am, the coast isn’t safe this time of year.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•People espousing that unions don't work should have a look at police unions.
132·1 month agoPeople parroting this are falling for the capitalist propaganda. Unions work so well that the ruling class has employed a mass campaign against unions. That isn’t weakness.
We the working class keep our society running, we can shut our society down, and this scares the shit out of the ruling classes who while wealthy in assets, are weak in number.

I’d call myself a cinaphile, a term I had not known till recent. I couldn’t call myself a film critic, or a film buff.
Most of us are walking in lockstep, many of my comrades are family, in away, they have to be if we are to be revolutionaries. I believe its a regional issue and not a national one, at least I hope…
My region is historically with issues, I refer to us as the peasantry of the socialist party
There’s some complicated tension in my branch. I don’t think they are being well meaning, it would be nice if this had been the case. seems more attributable to ego and a family feud/nepotism, the more frustrating thing is, because I had risen fairy fast with in the party, and and many of my comrades seem to sincerely like me, a lot of the abuse comes with a smile and admiration. One that sticks in my head was “some people are born with it, some people learn it, and you fell into it, you really fell into it, didn’t you?” after I inpromptly turned up to a large trades council regional meeting where I spoke on a panel (all very last minute, some of my comrades knew I was attending but the person to say this had no clue) and this was said to me while we were debriefing in our socialist party group.

5·1 month agoIts always been when, capitalism is hostile to the mass of society, its also based on infinite extraction in a finite world.
I’ve not read much of Mao, I will give this link a full read.
Thanks and thanks for the kind words,
Coming into politics I thought the cloak and daggers had been a characterisation but nope I’ve had a few of these incidents show up.
I’m dipping out till the end of the month, if they aren’t willing to discuss it then I won’t be attending branch. I told our secretary that something feels off and that I will be back on 2nd of Feb, theyre reaction wasn’t to investigate what I had said. so I think they know I know and have no spines for confrontation.

Technology@lemmy.world•A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroomEnglish
1·2 months agoI’ve met some in this campaign who like AI, but they don’t take much convincing once the material conditions are explained. I’m sure most of those students will continue to use AI. 90% of the students I’ve spoken with so far agree tho. I’d imagine the education institutions are getting some form of kick back or guidance from AI firms/partners, we saw similar with PCs entering education, something silicon valley opt their own children out off.

Technology@lemmy.world•A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroomEnglish
14·2 months agoI’ve been working on formal a socialist students society, our first and current campaign is fighting back against AI in the local college, the reaction from students has been electric. Students don’t want this, they know they are being deskilled, they know who profits.
I agree fully. We are living in a housing crisis, not due to lack of housing but the lack of affordable housing, and the lack of available housing as some of these corporate owned property sit empty.
The fact that none of our governments attempted to counter this fairly new trend is an admission of who’s side they are on.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why does the US military obey an order to go to war despite Congress not having given their consent?
6·2 months agoDecades of manufacturing consent, propergandising against workers power. We live in a hyper individualist society where the state can feel monolithic and we can’t fight it alone, furthered by not knowing how to collectivise. This can however change, when capitalistic crisis deepens so does class antagonism. Capitalism can not solve its own inherent failures.
The US’s imperialist invasion of oil rich Venezuela will lift many out of poverty in imperialistic countries, however this will be a dirty bandage on a septic wound, and while in the short turn it will lift some up, it will also push a vaster number down in the client states.
What we need is a revolutionary working class. No more flimsy concessions, careerists, or ruling elites. This necessitates developing class consciousness with in the mass of our society.
So get studying Marx, join a revolutionary socialists/communist party. Get involved in local actions. Essentially become a leading comrade.
incompetence perhaps?
