As far as I'm concerned, demcent is boiled down to "freedom of thought, unity of action", by Lenin

And I think this sort of thing kinda reminds me especially of the U.S duopoly but not exclusive to it

Unless there's something else to it and correct if I'm wrong?

I guess it seems it was coincidental for it to be termed by MLs, prolly becuz of the political necessity of action, yet ideological attachment, during a time of organizational chaos for Bolsheviks...

Some nice final remarks

> In his “Eight Rules and Insights on the Nature of War” Basil said: “every Palestinian (in the broad sense, meaning anyone who sees Palestine as a part of their struggle, regardless of their secondary identities), every Palestinian is on the front lines of the battle for Palestine, so be careful not to fail in your duty.” This is very reminiscent of Fanon’s understanding of Algerian as an inclusive revolutionary subjectivity, one that is available to anyone who chooses to participate in the liberation struggle , where “friends and enemies” are determined by what they do, not by who they are in terms of colonial constructions of race and identity. In this framing, Palestinian is not a racial or ethnic category, but a counteridentity available to anyone who participates in the struggle. In a lesser known piece that has yet to fully appear in English, Basil wrote: “I no longer see this as a conflict between Arabs and Jews, between Israeli and Palestinian. I have abandoned this duality, this naïve oversimplification of the conflict. I have become convinced of Ali Shariati and Frantz Fanon’s divisions of the world [into a colonial camp and a liberation camp (he clarifies in a footnote)]. “In each of the two camps, you will find people of all religions, languages, races, ethnicities, colors, and classes. In this conflict, for example, you will find people of our own skin standing rudely in the other camp, and at the same time you will find Jews standing in our camp.” If, as per Basil and Fanon, the broad resistance would be able to distinguish friends and enemies based on “the choices they make,” on their actions and commitments, rather than their identity and “race,” then counterinsurgent psychological operations that pit people against each other and diffuse collective action might be halted at the point of implementation, enabling a more resilient movement trajectory at the heart of Empire

Like, IDK, despite their political policy ultimately heading that of the foreign and economic policy of the west, they don't seem to be the type to resist if military conflict were to occur against them, and say, Hexbears win against them...

Perhaps we can use them as a sort of hollow government opposition to laugh at, and claim that "we're still a liberal democracy"

Whereas I can see right-libs (cons) at least having some sort of shoddy milita, if not military training, who would gladly fight for left-libs, like the Freikorps defending the Weimar Republic, and the Black Hundreds defending Kerensky's gov't

On my scrolling research on Hexbear, I've come across some of the following abbrassive figures against reactionaries: !fedposting

Tankiedesantski (as of now, has not returned a month after he tried to justify the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, from a Chinese diaspora POV)

UlyssesT (awakened by Dirty Owl, still juiced up in his personal crusade against bazingabrains and Cali-cucks)

AlaskaBall (prolly making Lenin-esque dunk of the tailist CPUSA as we speak)

Polandisastateofmind (Lemmygradder, known for being the usual self-hating Pole and rightfully so)

RyanGosling (prolly Tankiedesantski's blood brother, in terms of VIBES, not necessarily political views)

frauddogg (stop changing display names, Lemmygradder, that being said, vehemently anti- !cracker and prolly BlackRedGuard's personal alt )

• Eric Blair

Bourgeoisie, from what I've searched, relates to the term "burgh" and it seems to translate into post-medieval prospering city-dwellers, so to speak, in its historical context, perhaps the forerunner and early form of capitalists; the break from feudalism, with its feudal lords, monarchies, and guilds

Capitalists, as such, are its own distinguished broad class that are growing via exploiting of wage labor for their surplus value, now in our present times, free from the fetters of feudalism, and ripe to compete and expropriate

Am I correct on these two parts, or is there something I'm missing?

An oldie but a goodie

All it has to say is, to update itself the western neoliberal view on Ghazan genocide, replace "Baghdad" with the "Ghazan"

!curious-marx

When I got out, I nearly fainted on a seat, feeling weak, couldn't walk or see for a few minutes, head felt like shit (lack of oxygen)

2 of my friends were there trying to keep me up

Mobile data'd my way into posting

Edit: 2 hours later lights are on

Apparently it was news that he decided to go to Congress and make a little speech there

Wtf... isn't he the breadwinner of the U.S foreign military funds? What does he want?

It's funny, I've said cake day a lot more than usual in this time

Tambien, feliz movimiento 26 de Julio

Edit: I'm stupid, apparently, this was the day that Hexbear was made

Btw, do you see a pattern with her photos? Hint: prbly the cause of death !nyet

The silicon chip inside his head gets switched to overload,

but he wasn't plannin' to shoot a school today,

He's gonna plan something more bold

And no one saw the red flags right off him

Nor his intent, by his good OpSec

So we could see no reason

Not a hint of reason

to shoot Donald Trump at all

Edit - parody of "I don't like mondays"

Here's to you, Nicola and Bart

Rest forever here in our hearts

The last and final moment is yours

That agony is your triumph.[

Sheesh... couldn't ye have got out the hole earlier, ye insolent fetus

I don't want to miss out on any, like with Russo-Ukraine war...
