Welcome again to everybody! Make yourself at home. Feel free to marvel at our stockpile of high-tech spy balloons. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We have our own Matrix homeserver at https://genzedong.org, and a Matrix space; see this thread for more information.
Short reading list for new MLs here. To find theory (and other books), you can use z-lib, libgen, or Sci-Hub (for scientific articles). If an article is unavailable, try the Wayback Machine.
Dutch socialist sub is doing my head in fr. Had a guy responding to me how African countries could just decide to not supply resources to Western countries if they wanted to…
Yeees I am sure that’ll go down swimmingly
Also, Jacobin has entered the Dutch leftist market and is spanning the sub with its articles, and they are not always good lmao
Glass half full, learning about how the IMF and World Bank operate was a crucial step in my radicalization. Maybe it could be a good opportunity to educate? Or this more of a denial of the American military’s role in imperialism?
I try to keep educating but it does not always get positive replies unfortunately. But then I just hope the lurkers see my points.
I remember outright dismissing things like the truth about Xinjiang when I was first getting my toes wet, if you put it out there some people will eventually be able to receive it ✊
Lurkers definitely see your points comrade, and I speak from experience when I say that. I’m a big lurker on other platforms (not on here as u can see by my comments count jejeje)
The sub is overrun by socialdemocrats and anarchists. I try to educate them but it’s so frustrating.
