Who’s Being Brainwashed About China? - 小红书 3 亿人的生活经验，都在小红书

Excellent response to those detecting the continued genocide of the Palestinian people by bring up Uyghurs: xhslink.com/a/XYDRTbJdpO...

There is an S, a T, an F and a U though, which is what we can say to the cheesy bite supremacists 😁

"Like there used to be" is one of those fallacies like "remember when everyone found afford a house". It is incorrect, and you do your intelligence a disservice by choosing to believe it. Political bias is present in every piece of journalism and historical analysis, just gotta know where to look.

So far as I'm aware you've only got Juice Media and BoyBoy representing anything that can factually be called left, though I'm largely unfamiliar with Australian MSM so almost certainly some oversight there 😅

Screenshot of MintPress News thumbnail: "Yoav Gallant confirms Israel applied the Hannibal Directive on October 7".

And there you have it, proof of the original lie.

I'd wager that this fairly glaring oversight from somebody who believes they are the living definition of attention-to-detail is indicative of the quality of the rest of the platform.

"Status" is not due to the simple fact that they were attending private school. Let's work to dismantle the idea the anyone is worthy of leadership based on anything except what they say & do, rather than invalidate the integrity & struggle of many on the left that happened to be privately educated.

I think it better to say that where one was educated at either primary, secondary, further or higher level must have zero bearing on one's eligibility as a party candidate. To completely bar private pupils flies too close to general anti-intellectualism. That said, I fully endorse burning down Eton.

I hope you're right, wouldn't be the first time I'd been mistaken about that and made a complete tit of myself 😅

Obviously this is correct, however we do not live in a socialist system currently and plenty of people think that sending their kids to private schools will give them an "advantage". It does not, however, invalidate choices and motivations of the child.

This is same non-materialist thought pattern as "you're not a real proletarian if you're a barista" and other such dross. You need to go back to basics, friend.

This is fucking mental. Nobody chooses what school they go to, and having narcissistic petit-bourgeois aspiring parents does not overshadow the choices you make and the class that you find yourself in as an adult.
And before you accuse: no, I attended state schools all my life.

Agreed on all points, though C needs one small correction 🍽️

Meanwhile liberals are patting themselves on the back for a job well done that they managed to "put an end" to the evil. Already had several essentially say to me "but I supported the ceasefire in Gaza, I did my bit". Justice was never the goal for most, only vanity.

100% accelerationist, but looking to Germany rather than Russia for historical inspiration as to the intended target.

Fucking right it does. Ceasefire in Gaza just meant full ordnance clearance in the West Bank.

Screenshot of Truth Social post from Trump (grammatical errors have been preserved for posterity): "The idea that BRICS countries are trying to move away from the dollar, while we stand by and watch, is OVER. We are going to require a commitment from these seemingly hostile countries that they will neither create a new BRICS currency, nor back any other currency to replace the mighty U.S. dollar or, they will face 100% tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to settling into the wonderful U.S. economy. They can go find another sucker nation. There is no chance that BRICS will replace the U.S. dollar in International Trade, or anywhere else, and any Country that tries should say hello to Tariffs, and goodbye to America!"

Meme: Joffrey Baratheon-Lannister sitting crowned on the Iron Throne with that smug bitch expression that Jack Gleeson performs so incredibly. Words imposed are a quote from the character, "Today I shall accept oaths of fealty".

This drivelous copium defines exactly what "The Free World" actually is, and don't let anybody try to convince you otherwise.

Story thumbnail from MintPressNews.com: "Zionist group plants a pager in Norman Finkelstein's pocket"

This is fucked. The West allowing Zionists to carry out terrorism and crimes against humanity with impunity has removed any requirement for them to bother to restrain themselves in any respect.

This is not just full admission of what they did in Lebanon, this is gloating about it.

Post from MintPressNews.com: Belize, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Honduras, Namibia, Senegal, South Africa and Malaysia form a coalition to take legal action against Israel.

Best news I've heard since Kissinger kicked the bucket.

You mean a platform in which there is almost no chance that their own voices will be heard?
Love for "traditional" TV has never left, albeit most discussions are around "reality" TV and programs on paid subscription streaming services. But all beyond the reach of an average person to become part of

Love Paul and the Marxism Today outfit he has helped build - their video on the EU was a notable milestone in the early days of my conversion from radlib to Marxist. 100% deserving of everyone's Patreon money.

That loose turd doesn't deserve a Bowie line, even if it is incalculably fitting.

The Insipid Bitch of the West might be a viable alternative.

As a bisexual autistic Communist, I'd say you were a perfectly well-adjusted individual =D

"What does Jesus have to do with this moon/asteroid, a crater from which I am emerging from"? Well I'm glad you asked...

Hugely recommend the reading lists on @socialismforall.bsky.social's channels as well - a huge selection of excellently read audiobooks and regular streams (which double up as video podcasts)

Demonstrably incorrect.

Likewise, we've got absolute dog shit in the UK - the only Communist outfits that aren't obscenely transphobic are Trotskyites and I already know how either would end up. Trying to get something more local set up instead.

A solid choice, from what I understand. If you don't already, would recommend listening to The Socialist Program with Brian Becker (podcast), the host of which (IIRC) co-founded the party and describes how it works in several episodes (namely the Lenin series from a few months ago).

From what i understand, they only moved to a more SocDem stance after a bunch of Bernie supporters joined the party in 2016. They were founded as, and still fundamentally are, a Marxist-Leninist party.
