No nice week?
Sometimes I forget to count my blessings and I get caught up in focussing on this marxism stuff too much, and it can wear me down. I find participating in a society that I just can't get behind extremely frustrating and if I then also forget to touch grass, things start to look greyish in my mind.
It is a nice week. I am healthy. My party is having a festival this weekend. It's going to be great weather all week. I am in a good spot. I should just keep that in mind as well.
happy (?) substitute USian labour day
In the USA labor Day has quasi been appropriated as yet another pro military/police day, but labor is never really celebrated in the USA for some reason 🤔
Ironically May 1st labour day has a lot of history in the US (was even started there by some accounts), but now some of the amerikkkans I know call May 1st a commie holiday (tongue in cheek but still).
Kanada too 🤮
May 1 in the USA is literally called "Loyalty Day"
Its where I show my loyalty to my fellow prolitarian
To me, Amerikan May 1st is just another Hallmark holiday I don't celebrate because there is no loyalty to Amerikans in me anymore. If I had anything of worth to sell for citizenship elsewhere, I'd have done it by now.
The day PMC gets off but labor still has to go to work
By this guy Logic, Richard Nixon is a tankie
(Synthetic TikTok voice) Where Are You On The Tankie Scale?
I literally only disagree with two of those. How the hell is the final level “two individuals didn’t kill an extremely specific and high number of people.” Even if you’re not a “tankie” it should be obvious that this could the claim could be eliminated on technicality (Stalin killed 45/55 million instead), or just a basic recognition that an individual can’t be solely responsible for millions of deaths. Even if neither, some of those people were Nazis, and it’s good to kill Nazis.
using my incredible investigative prowess I have determined that this is likely a place in China
PRC - DPRK border
Nu uh in DPRK there is no vegetation. The population is only given USA flags to eat as their sole source of sustinence. Quite tragic 😞
thank you, fellow enjoyer of vegetation
The sign is in English lol (BORDER OF CHINA AND KOREA)
you're right, the resolution is so low I didn't notice
It is a very crunchy image. They don't have many pixels in North Korea y'know
This is clearly on the Chinese side of the border though. No Korean writing in sight.
And that's why there's still enough resolution to read the sign 🧐
🤨
Indeed it is 😁👍🏼
I'm sorry but "yoursmellf" made me laugh so hard. Im such a child x)
mission accomplished
I hope you all have a nice week :D
I hope that your week is also of the nice variety
I haven't read a Marx text in a while and I kinda forgot how frustatingly difficult he can write. At least Lenin figured you can at some form of humor to your text without them becoming goofy.
Plus I always struggled more with the philosophical parts of Marxism versus economics, science and things about the state etc. No idea why I started with the philosophy stuff first now.
Marx is far more difficult for me to read through than Lenin, which is why I have read little from him directly so far. What are you reading now? I am going through capital volume 1 at the moment.
what's the quintessential book on Fidel? which autobiography?
