FIFTY SEVEN??? Those cops are really making a great case for why that training center should absolutely never be built jfc. How long did those pigs spend shooting them? Even with an entire firing squad it must’ve taken a looong while to unload that many bullets… Literally just blasting a dead man out of spite

Beardless Lenin with hair is totally unrecognizable, wow

lol why is seldom the word that gets a hyperlink

Olaf Advance Wars!

Tbh I’m not that fussed about the fates of war criminals and Nazis either but I don’t trust any legal system to get a hit rate of 100%. Not to mention that the most humane methods of killing a person aren’t used because they’re ghoulish (inert gas suffocation, decapitation).

Arguments in favor of the death penalty often use extreme examples as justification but if you look at how the death penalty plays out in reality you’ll see that it’s never as simple as those hypotheticals. People are pretty shit at determining guilt.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t dialectics just the philosophy of change? I don’t understand what you mean by methodological materialism.

Dialectics = reality is always changing

Materialism = reality is stuff

Dialectical Materialism = reality is stuff that is always changing

I dunno what there is to argue about, this just seems unambiguously true to me. I’d argue that the natural sciences are actually the only places where diamat is applied in the west.

I admire that you’re getting yourself treated instead of isolating yourself into an addiction spiral. It takes a lot of determination to do that. I hope it helps you on your journey to sobriety! Take as long as you need, we’ll still be here when you get back 💚

Yeah and if they keep it up, their copyright might live past even the US government haha

Mickey when he finally enters the public domain next year

Save some for the rest of us, jeez

I hope so too but I know it’s gonna be just like the pope. Which is to say, they’ll replace the 1 guy and then everyone will act as if that solved everything.

I’m surprised there wasn’t one before but better late than never! You love to see cooperation between socialist states

They can dish it but can’t take it

If they do that, the people that believe in it will take it as further proof of a government cover-up. These are not reasonable people

People still do that though? I’m pretty sure it’s still the majority opinion among Americans at least that the war was caused by Russia wanting to gain power & then the US stepped in afterwards to help Ukraine.

Saying plainly that Ukraine is a proxy between America and Russia will get you called a conspiracy theorist by basically everyone.

It looks like he has teeny legs in this picture lol

That kinda seems like the opposite of what a teacher is for but I can respect letting students develop their own political consciousness. Or unconsciousness more like

I see what you mean and I agree, libs aren’t blank slates that can be taught about communism plainly. They need to first unlearn a lifetime of red scare propaganda before they’ll be receptive to a Marxist education. They’re not simply ignorant, they’re misinformed.

Presenting that theory to the class in a way that gives it any credence is still malpractice imo. I hope your professor rebuked it after he saw that his students supported it, even if not fully. Sorry about your racist classmates tho

It’s interesting how much jargon is being thrown around. Bilateral multilateral summit paradiplomacy neostatist Keynesianism… This class sounds like it’s just reading the dictionary hahaha.

Totally agree with you that the conditions of the global south can be fully explained by imperialism. It’s shocking that “modernization theory” was presented in your class as legitimate. That’s one step removed from teaching students that the White Man’s Burden is real jfc

Sometimes I wonder whether economists realize their job is to subjugate workers or if they’re really so deluded that they don’t see the connection between their policies and real-life suffering. Like, surely this guy doesn’t think of unemployment as just some variable on an equation that he needs to optimize, right?

Can’t believe the US has been occupying Germany since WWII. As always, America is being totally hypocritical by touting to liberate Taiwan and Ukraine despite their troops having annexed territory from nearly every country they’ve ever entered.

They still managed to bring it back around to how evil and oppressive they think China is… Baby steps, I guess.

Turn him into a vtuber next!

In communist China the see see pee uses propaganda to brainwash its citizens

So much talk about China and Russia and whoever else using their tech to manipulate geopolitics meanwhile discord over here is literally doing a war

Oh no now she’s quotemining Engels. I hope this backfires on her because her base is definitely not supportive of Marxism.

I wonder how that smells 👃

Worse than no accountability, they’re out here doing the same shit again and again, everyone’s falling for it. Everyone in the western media bubble anyway.

Why does it say that India has coastal tide/wave potential? Am I reading that right

Janan is very brave for suggesting to force old people to work more and young people to go die in war. It’s a tough decision for him, I’m sure.

Making Sankara proud!

Interesting to hear how colonialism impacted these peoples differently. Thanks for sharing! I hope Indonesia continues to resist western imperialism

Is Indonesia like Latin America in that regard? As in, virtually everyone has indigenous ancestry, but relatively few people have maintained their precolonial customs, language, religion, etc

Yeah a lot of American politics revolves around begging politicians to do the thing they’re ostensibly there to do. It really makes the notion that we’re a democracy laughable.

Well I’m glad to be one of the senior members of Lemmygrad now 😇

MFW peace 😨😱😭😡🤬🤬🇺🇲💣
