AuDHD cat. If you don’t know which pronoun to use, go for it/its. Kitty is for it/its and could be used instead of sir/ma’am.

So I checked it out… never directly states where the data is from (“PRC state media and data”, “party documents and data reportedly obtained from local public security bureaus in Xinjiang”, it continues to be this vague never specific throughout), most of the dates end in 2021/2022 (for the latter e.g. “the last date for which authorities have issued such reports”, so that doesn’t show it hasn’t ended in 2021)
The closest thing you have in there is
the continued elevated number of indictments in 2022 suggests that the campaign continues
Are there other, better, sources?
4·14 days agoI think Lumelore is starting of at anti-communism, and working her way from there. It leads to some weird stuff like this.
It says that anyone could propose a candidate, and that the person elected in that specific election wasn’t part of the [Communist] Party, making it somewhat likely they weren’t a communist.
But a better question, is why is it important that they can vote for non-communists? What else should they vote for? Fascists? Liberals that wish to destroy the Soviet system and institute capitalism, thereby making the lives of the vast majority of people worse? Chapter XVII goes over this to some extent, but I of course do recommend reading the entire book.
No mention of being able to vote for non-communists

Anybody present had the right to propose a candidate, the one who was elected was not personally a member of the Party
The people of the soviet union, at least as far as Pat Sloan experienced in ~1937, had the most limited choice: any person
I have, while working in the Soviet Union, participated in an election. I, too, had a right to vote, as I was a working member of the community, and nationality and citizenship is no bar to electoral rights. The procedure was extremely simple. A general meeting of all the workers in our organization was called by the trade union committee, candidates were discussed, and a vote was taken by show of hands. Anybody present had the right to propose a candidate, and the one who was elected was not personally a member of the Party. In considering the claims of the candidates their past activities were discussed, they themselves had to answer questions as to their qualifications, anybody could express an opinion, for or against them, and the basis of all the discussion was: What justification had the candidates to represent their comrades on the local Soviet?
As far as the elections in the villages were concerned, these took place at open village meetings, all peasants of voting age, other than those who employed labour, having the right to vote and to stand for election. As in the towns, any organization or individual could put forward candidates, anyone could ask the candidate questions, and anybody could support or oppose the candidature. It is usual for the Communist Party to put forward a candidate, trade unions and other organizations can also do so, and there is nothing to prevent the Party’s candidate from not being elected, if he has not sufficient prestige among the voters.

The name actually came from British communists that supported the USSR sending tanks into Hungary in '56.
Horrendous take. Fuck off.
Equal condemnation for unequal sin minimizes the greater and exaggerates the lesser. That ceases to be an answer and becomes a cover for genocidal fascists against a national liberation movement.
Blahaj.zone ain’t sending their best.
31·19 days agoDo you have stuff on this? Not sources, I’m not asking you to prove you are correct, I was wondering since you said this that you may have something that I can take a look at.
“The whole working gang is interested in production. The program for next month is discussed with all of us. The foreman calls a meeting and tells us that the administration wants us to put out 3,000 milling tools next month. How shall we do it? We discuss in detail; each of us says what he can do. It all adds up to 4,000. So the foreman goes to the administration and raises the plan to 4,000. […]

I cannot but defend the authoritarian, nay, the stalinist prohibition on using handcuffs in prisons. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing prisoners get what they deserve, to know that they are forced to do what they want to, to know that they have to work if they feel like it.
(This is a sarcasm)
Liberals do not want to critique Marxism, they wish to endlessly dismiss it
Minor point: GDR and DDR are the same, just in English and German.
You are already living in a class war. You are below the poverty line because of it.
