Don't answer the question then, fine, but stop challenging me about it if you don't have a response...
I wasn't aware that the hexbear news megathread was a funeral for Nasrallah. Honestly this is just odd.
You are clearly gifted with clairvoyance, keep at it
According to Kalibrated_Maps, Vuhledar is pretty much completely captured, Toretsk is completely under siege, but not much change in Kursk
You're comparing socialist revolutionaries to non-socialist revolutionaries and in any case it took decades for the Pan-African revolution to recover, which is pretty much my point that this is a loss and should be treated as such without being told you can't call it what it is
I suggested that the Hezbollah leadership had all been killed and was challenged on it. Is it true or is it not? Are all of the people in that image dead, yes or no? If yes, stop challenging me about whether or not the Hezbollah leadership was killed. They're either dead or they aren't.
Okay...
What they're facing now is already the evisceration of Lebanon... Honestly I don't see how escalation could be worse. Gaza might as well have been nuked; look at the satellite images. There's nothing left. It's awful.
What do you think they should have done differently? Be honest.
Thank you, I appreciate your honesty. I'm not trying to troll and I'm genuinely against Zionazism, I'm just a little frustrated that when someone says something critical of Iran on this website they get lambasted. Iran is not even a socialist country.
The person I tagged in particular was giving me a really hard time about it, and not constructively.
Has "the entire Hezbollah leadership" been wiped out? News to me.
Zionazis are using this image on twitter, is it inaccurate?
@destroyamerica@lemmygrad.ml learn some manners.
You're still doing it- why am I not allowed to point this out? It's a problem and downplaying it isn't a healthy mindset. If socialism is to be scientific it must be a truth-seeking enterprise and must continually improve its knowledge base. Socialists should learn from the failure of the axis of resistance to better future resistance efforts. Now is the time to analyze what went wrong and what could have been done better. I posit that Iran holding back was a huge mistake and it enabled Israel to do what it has done.
Comrade, we already have a bloody regional war. /:
It's not a 'gotcha' it's literally what has happened and we should be allowed to point it out without being shouted down. That's my whole point. The News megathread should be a place where criticism is allowed.
I said this a fucking week ago and all of you shouted at me for it.
So to those of you who were pooh-poohing my concerns about the axis of resistance a week ago, how are you feeling now that Nasrallah and the rest of the entire Hezbollah leadership has been wiped out? Am I still just a 'doomer' or did I have a point? Thinking of you u/GlueBear in particular. I maintain that as long as Hamas, Hezbollah (what's left of it), and Iran hold back and do not go all in against Israel, they will lose this conflict. At least the West is still taking an L in Ukraine.
Sorry but why does anyone care what celebrity singers think anyway? Celebrities are tools crafted to keep Americans docile and sell magazines. Like did people really think Taylor Swift would openly support Palestine? Please, for the love of god, never give any money to celebrities.
I was hoping it would be shotguns and saw blades or something funny
Yes I know that Cuba, the DPRK, and China have their own distros, but they're pretty specific to the language and networks of those countries. I use linux because it's free and open source but I use one of those distros that is privately owned and I'm thinking of upgrading to something that is truly communally owned but also has good compatibility with software, especially scientific software. Any good recs please?
Thanks!
Hi. I'm alienated, living in the imperialist core, I have no political representation, and none of my friends are communists. Except from this website I feel extremely isolated. How are the rest of you faring?
He met him eating mushrooms in the People's Park
He said 'What do you think about my manifesto?'
'I like your manifesto, put it to the test-o.'
Tories are obviously fucked but labour are the new tories. I don't believe in bourgeois electoralism so I'm inclined not to vote at all but would also like to spoil the tories and labour from winning in my constituency. To that end, I'm torn between Green (libs with good climate policies, left of labour but pro-Israel-existence) and Workers Party GB (economically socialist with weird-to-concerning opinions on LGBT+)**. Discuss.
** Workers Party leader Galloway in an interview with Novara media has said he believes all LGBT+ people should be treated with dignity and respect and that he has had many gay and one trans colleague (and used their preferred pronouns) but he has boomerish ideas about what should and should not be taught to children in schools and which changing rooms people should use. It's not great but could be worse I guess.
I don't have social media so I'm expecting great things from you !og-hex-bear
This is the official hexbear Dune discussion thread (not really)
I watched the new Dune and enjoyed the films from a cinematic/fantasy perspective but wasn't super on-board with the politics as I thought the message was simply 'leaders bad', but what didn't come across (imo) from the movies and what I'm learning from discussion of the books is that the message is more nuanced than that: Herbert's message wasn't "don't blindly follow leaders because they're evil", but "don't blindly follow leaders because movements based on blind belief are a force of their own and can sweep everyone up into a mess, even if that was not at all the intention", and there are of course examples of that happening throughout human history. I want to hear all of your thoughts on the books, the films, and the messages. Thanks. !heart-sickle
I know of a few academic journals that review and publish articles on Marxism and Socialism but all of them seem to be run by Trots and are extremely hostile to Marxism-Leninism, Stalinism, and AES countries like China, Viet Nam, and (formerly) the Soviet Union. Are there any academic journals that are pro-Lenin/Soviet and pro-AES? I would like to read such articles and possibly contribute myself. Obviously there are sites like this one but I'm looking specifically for a scholarly journal, e.g. with peer-review or at least something more formal than a forum.
Thanks in advance.
I'm looking for serious replies only, please. I have a friend whose family 'escaped' from East Germany and moved to the US during the Cold War. My friend's opposition to socialism seems to be almost exclusively based upon this idea that their poor family had to 'run from evil communists'. This person either doesn't know or won't tell me what their family was up to in Germany from 1930-1945. I suspect they were nazis and were not 'escaping' socialism but hiding their participation in war crimes by moving to a country that would not persecute them for killing civilians etc. I know their grandfather's name (who was just a boy when his parents forcibly moved them all to the US). How would I go about proving my hypothesis that they were nazis? Are their databases with the names of nazi party members and so on? Any advice and guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I want Hexbear to have a SovietUnion community for my Soviet Posts. I will never stop larping. Admins, make it happen. INTO THE LAIR.

Others please?
... and it wasn't nearly enough. Approximately 4 million nazi prisoners were released after decades of hard labour. They should have been buried instead. Non-negotiable.
