While exiled in 1899, Bauman had an affair with the wife of a fellow revolutionary who became pregnant with Bauman’s child.[7] Bauman responded by openly mocking her, and circulating a vicious cartoon of her as the Virgin Mary with a baby in her womb, with a caption asking “who the baby looked like”. The woman later hanged herself.[8]

This story had gained wide currency among Russian political exiles by the time Bauman reappeared in Switzerland in 1902, after the escape from Kiev.[citation needed] Some of those involved in producing Iskra, including Lenin’s closest friend and collaborator, Julius Martov and Pavel Axelrod, one of the founders of Russian Marxism, wanted Bauman expelled from the organisation. In 1903, the board of Iskra adjudicated the matter, and Lenin interceded on Bauman’s behalf. According to biographer Robert Service, Lenin rejected the party’s right to interfere, arguing that the party’s task “was to make revolution against the Romanov monarchy and to vet the morality of comrades only when and in so far as their actions affected the implementation of the task”.[7] The subsequent controversy divided the party, and has been described as “one of the many personal clashes which came to define the ethical distinctions” between the Bolshevik and Menshevik factions after 1903.

When people say “nerd” they probably mean someone like Linus Torvalds, but the real nerd is Richard Stallman and they hate each other.

There’s also an Xbox event tomorrow! (I’m waiting for Clockwork Revolution, Wasteland 3 from the same devs was amazing)

They’ve managed to ban all Wireguard/OpenVPN-based VPNs here in Russia. Only V2Ray/XLESS and Shadowsocks still work.

X4: Foundations! Currently trying to build a scrap processing factory while also raiding VIG Ice Miners.

You hate Russia because you’re NAFO-CIA-vaushite, I hate Russia because I’m gay Russian leftist. We’re not the same.

For real, though. Every proletarian should oppose their own bourgeoius country first and foremost. I’m Russian so I am anti-Russian; if I was American, then I’d be Anti-American, If i was European then I’d be anti-EU etc.

I hate the very idea of “meritocracy”. A part-time “unskilled” worker or a NEET should enjoy the same decent living conditions as everyone else. Likewise, when it comes to leftist orgs, a person who just joined it should have the same voting power as everyone else. It’s idealist and impractical, I know.
