Likewise my friend. I believe in you :)

Great pic, those colors are stunning. I’m sure in person it’s even more intense

To be clear I am not a socialist or communist, Western or otherwise. Yes, China is ascendent on the world stage and likely will continue to be, but they have shown no willingness to aid communist movements abroad. That can change of course but it would seem to me that the CPC is more concerned with maintaining international relationships and economic agreements than fomenting the global revolution. I also somewhat doubt the party’s commitment to eventually ‘withering away’ as Marx put it. To be fair, I know that couldn’t happen unless the whole world was on board or they’d get promptly steamrolled by one adversary or another.

I gather from your username that you consider yourself a communist? How do you suppose your ambitions could be put into reality when the movement is so devastatingly weak and disorganized?

Well that’s certainly less extreme than breaking on the wheel, I’ll give you that, but it doesn’t seem very realistic in most countries, where nationalization is rare and done mainly for strategic purposes.

Medieval torture in response to what is essentially copyright infringement. Very sane!

How would such a law be enforced? What agency would enforce it? What penalty would one face for breaking this law?

I’m on reddit too. The vibe here is a little different and I like variety.

Something that helped me was reading extensively about the horrific effects of alcohol on the body. Even a small amount over time causes measurable damage to the nerves and organs. I also watched some difficult videos of end stage alcoholics, took in their suffering and tried to truly imagine what it would be like if I was in their place. When I got the impulse to drink I would think about the screaming, convulsing, delirious people that I saw and I would feel repulsed and afraid of that future. It helped as well that I had the personal motivation of not wanting to become like my father. I had a couple bad incidents where I lashed out at people I love because the drink fucked with my head. I didn’t want that to escalate. My father’s health has also suffered horribly from his drinking including a week in a medically induced coma and almost dying from pneumonia caused by aspirated booze vomit.

Have you ever tried getting multiple leftists to agree to the time of day let alone actual concrete, feasible policy and a plan for implementing and enforcing it? More pertinent, have you ever tried getting multiple workers from different industries to agree to anything either?

What does madrikh mean and is there a source for this claim?

Misandry doesn’t exist tho right folks

The only close interaction I’ve ever had with a raccoon was when one perched on a fence post and was hissing and swiping at my dog, who was going apeshit. So yeah I can see how someone might confuse them for weird cats.
