rhiannon: the people on this website have been remarkably normal about how insane I am, especially recently. so thanks for that.

I think its also really good that despite being openly fourteen people on here none of the mutuals i know offline have brought it up. that's neat too, keep it up :D

MARXISM TAUGHT ME WHAT SOCIETY WAS. I WAS LIKE A BLINDFOLDED MAN IN A FOREST, WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHERE NORTH OR SOUTH IS.
IF YOU DON'T
EVENTUALLY COME TO TRULY UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS STRUGGLE, OR AT LEAST HAVE A CLEAR IDEA THAT SOCIETY IS DIVIDED BETWEEN THE RICH AND THE POOR AND
RE
THAT SOME PEOPLE SUBJUGATE AND
EXPLOIT OTHER PEOPLE,
YOU'RE LOST IN A FOREST, NOT
KNOWING ANYTHING.

Hi all- please consider helping my friend Demy who has shared many resources on the Soviet Union and its development with me (and thus you)

Thank you

I hate to ask but I have $95 left in my account, I need help to survive. I still haven't heard from the government regarding medical leave unemployment benefits despite me sending info a week ago. Please, anything helps

Anticommunism is a hell of a drug

New York Times article talking about how "few citizens dare to protest" its construction of electric car and high-speed train infrastructure. No information provided as to why they would want to do such a thing

Men like Piers Morgan have found women in trans women who it is socially acceptable to abuse.

Every time they do this stuff they are telling you how they'd treat cis women if they could get away with it.

gwen: unfortunately also happens to be one of the most cinematic and well-shot movies of all time 😶😑

TheWitches @thewitches.bsky.social · 1d

gwen: I was telling comrades how racist this movie is recently, even ignoring the obvious stuff they fiddled with a bunch of historical details (people's motivations, the timeline of events, etc) to make the Arab nationalists look like greedy squabbling fools who need Mr White Savior to lead them

Let's be clear on who Christopher Columbus was, a conquerer who spread disease & slavery who was so sadistic in the ways he treated natives he appalled the architects of the Spanish Inquisition. That's the fact of him there is to reclaim.

I'd have not consented to having sex with a few ppl had I known what a prick they were behind lies and deception.

If I or any other woman took this to the cops we would be laughed at and called a slag for not being careful who we open our legs to.

Ciara Watkin is in prison for being transgender.

gwen: as has been said you know more about this than me as I've read minimal Chomsky. but I do think its relevant that when I think of weird campism he's one of the ppl who springs to mind

gwen: my explaination is we have fewer holidays in the way. there's no thanksgiving, and halloween is a thing but less of a thing (as a child my parents told me it was "too american"). we have bonfire night but you're not exactly selling fireworks in tesco

gwen: he was weirdly pro Khmer Rouge, right? which feels like you could interpret that as an anti-Vietnam position given how things unfolded

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.
