What if my wishful thinking is true

Afaik they all signed a document to be in this debated saying they’d support whoever won

Liberal = supporter of capitalism. I suggest reading lots and lots on liberal and especially marxist theory, I used to be a centrist like you, because I only trusted what was trusted by liberal media, because ofc I wantdd to be correct, and it took years to realize they were lying and acting in bad faith. I was also hardcore falling for the golden mean fallacy

No one has suggested any readings yet (being a marxist is 50% reading and learning 50% trying to organize), so I’m recommending On Authority by Engels (this is a page long but very necessary, I highly suggest reading this future comrade!) After that dive in to State and Revolution by Lenin or Kapital by Marx, depending on how skeptical you are on supporting capitalism

On Authority, which is only a page long!

Lemme know if you have any questions too

Since communism isn’t illegal in western countries, and there’s literally nothing stopping a bunch of comrades from starting a business where the workers maintain control over the means of production,

Yes, this is called China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, North Korea, and the former USSR (and many others)

E: also not being snarky, mondragon and basically all co-ops are working as you suggest. Did you not know what a worker co-op was??

Read marx! Like actually google marx and read kapital or better yet Lenin’s State and Revolution. Or google On Authority by Engels (this one is just a page long, read this and you can get out of reading the others, report back afterwards if you want!)

Why does the west spend millions trying to topple China if they’re not communists. Why is China immune to recession if they’re not communist. Why have living standards risen for decades in China if they’re not communist (which meanwhile hasn’t happened in the west also in decades, with even the Nordic model going downhill)

You don’t even have to read theory. This should be obvious

But if you could read theory (your reading level might actually be too low to understand Lenin or Marx or Mao, this isn’t an insult, most westerners have a 6th grade reading level) you’d see thousands of pages of theory as to why capitalism was introduced.

You don’t want to read or think tho, you wanna say gommunism no. No gommunism. You also won’t read liberal theory to discover how bloodthirsty it is either or anarchist or really anything

I suggest starting with State and Revolution by Lenin if you’re actually able to read better than a 19th century peasant. You’d be shocked how accurately he just describes reality as it is now

Also stanning Sonic. I just beat Mania again and that + the animated shorts are fire

Ok I now have a crush on Brazil

Read marx, lenin, etc. Ask for sources and actually read them. Try and be open minded and crush the lib misinformation clotting your ears, I too was a cringe dumbshit lib once (spoilers, we almost all were, like we all got the same propaganda)

I hate how decisively saying whataboutism ended the convo for me back in my lib days. Like it feels like such a slam dunk when you’re misinformed and under the impression you’re the greatest good

From my experience it’s up there with food in terms of being addictive (that is, quite addictive, but because of people self medicating), but your body can actually develop some physical dependencies, it just won’t kill you from withdrawal like opioids or alcohol

It’s actually a very useful self-medication too, so weed probably does lower the possibility of achieving class consciousness by making people artificially less miserable. As a commie that makes me hmmm, but no one should go to prison over weed ofc

Read on Authority (it’s like a page long)

Is the Armata actually good? I’ve met tons of tank buffs that all shit on it while favoring the T-34??? (for it’s time), but idk shit about military hardware, like a week ago I assumed being a tanker was like the safest thing to be in the military, but apparently you can only survive or die absolutely terribly

The North was also had better conditions than the South before the 90s when like idk probably nothing important happened in the 90s

Realpolitik/critical support. Russia balkanizes and now the US has several new vassal states on China’s border. Russia will also continue being punished for having been the USSR until the end of time, which makes them act in anti-imperialistic ways, not by choice like the Soviets, but outta necessity. Putin did wanna be NAFO afterall, but again, critical support. The enemy of my enemy and so on and so on

It’s repeated constantly but definitely do read theory and take notes. Otherwise you’ll continue debates settled 100+ years ago and just in general be led around by the nose

One of my gfs has night terrors due to csa other abuse and dozens of electro shock therapy. She also hates wasps and over the years her brain somehow turned that sexual, so a waspgirl impregnates her and the wasps eat her brain and turn her into a hive that infects others. Apparently her tellings others this has also given them the same intense sex dream, like it came up in conversation at uni and the guy she told just disappeared right after

Anyway I was dreaming about seals and piracy and a huge wasp flew up my nose. I woke up trying to dislodge it for ages

Sorry if dream wasps are real and you just got got, but it’s somehow the only weird thing that’s happened in my dreams lol

I can’t get any pain treatment ever cus a nurse randomly wrote down I did meth over a decade ago when I was a teenager and talking about how only the Amphetamines (prescribed) worked for me. And no one will ever take it off lol ya I’m a minority group

FWIW the manga version is very separate, even if it technically started beforehand.

E: read the link, yea that’s a bit sussy

Adoption is difficult and you’re guaranteed a kid already with ptsd but I was adopted so pls adopt, foster families suck so so bad

I had no idea, this is so cool
