Agreed, and this is applicable to geopolitical issues in general. Russia has a reactionary government but its role in the proxy war is anti-imperialist in practice, Iran has a reactionary government but is essential for the Palestinian liberation movement, etc.

This is class reductionism. None of these issues can be solved under capitalism, but ignoring the unique systemic issues faced by roughly half of the population is going to make organizing and agitating very difficult. Systemic misogyny, transphobia, racism, settler-colonial relations, etc. need to be dealt with as part of the revolution, and before seizing state power, recognizing these issues and providing solutions (for both the present and future) is essential for building support among these populations.

That last quote is definitely not cool. It’s also from a comment which was removed for actual antisemitism (based on this), which is slightly disingenuous of the paper’s authors

it’s definitely escalating

I wonder sometimes if Western info-warfare strategy is shifting to “flooding the zone”

It’s been part of the strategy for a long time, and not just for China. Bourgeois media inundates people with baseless or highly distorted claims (often very time-consuming to disprove, and affects collective consciousness over time), and both social media sites and search engines promote this content while censoring reliable sources

If you and your brothers get along well and you don’t have any other compelling reason to move, I wouldn’t worry about it. Capitalists, particularly landlords, want you to feel ashamed of not having your own apartment. If you do eventually decide that you want to move, saving the income that would’ve otherwise been spent on rent over many years could help you buy a house or apartment rather than having to rent

Never, and they’ve been monitored for a very long time, even after the US “left” the JCPOA. There’s also a fatwa against nuclear weapons

some more context:

The temporary relocation was initiated to enable the construction of a three-story underground space beneath Zhangyuan, which stands as one of Shanghai’s largest and best-preserved shikumen complexes with a history exceeding 140 years.

The underground development, covering over 53,000 square meters, will house cultural and commercial spaces, provide over 100 parking spots, and facilitate connections between Metro Lines 2, 12 and 13.

coup attempt, it will fail

comrade ocean

one of the fascist countries involved in WW2 did have nukes, and it used them too

and contemporary Germany is proudly continuing its legacy

to be fair, a lot of things are better than sliced bread, including China

I’ve hardly noticed the game elements on Temu; the misleading items are annoying but it’s nothing you won’t see on Amazon, and you can usually get a refund

that would be far more reasonable than the VoC standards, because those deaths actually were caused by capitalism

happy 207th birthday to obscure Marxist theoretician Karl Marx
