Happy Birthday comrade and a successfull struggle to you!

real

Would W.M. Akers’ “Comrades” count as a TTRPG to add to your list? It was made by an anarchist with a heavy dislike for “Stalinists” though

O7 We thank you for your service comrade!

I think something along the lines of; Capitalism is unable to ever “win”. No matter how many communists you kill, how many of them you force to live under capitalism, or how many of them you force to “disavow” communism, you can’t kill the idea. The struggle never ends, dialectics tells us this very clearly: Capitalism is unable to solve it’s inherent contradictions, even if all knowledge of communism were to disappear, someone would inevitably bring it up again.

Or he would aggressively point at this picture with the quote over and over again.

It prevents you from realizing that you share problems with the vast majority, preventing many people from becoming class conscious. And if they do realise these problems they’ll gravitate towards individualistic solutions to systemic problems (for example: climate change is the consumers fault, just buy your way out of it), for which capitalism swoops in to provide a product/service to give the illusion of “I’m doing my part”.

It’s also unnatural and doesn’t go well with the fact that we were never supposed to live this way.

If you decide to go through with it, know that we’re with you every step of the way if you want our help comrade!

I couldn’t finish it, was too cringe for me…

Similar energy as: no women on conservative dating apps

I feel this. After 6 years of work I’m about to decide what I’ll be studying. Saw the videos and heard the horror stories. Did all the sharing on social media (and still do) but it feels like it achieves nothing.

Spoke to a palestinian refugee 2 weeks ago who studied robotics. 5 years younger than me too. All his plans for his future are gone. And here I am planning for my potential future just like he did.

Only thing keeping me up is revolutionary optimism, which I basically recite like a mantra, like an idiom from a culture I don’t understand.

Missing context, but they are trying really hard to bait you to respond. Even if they are acting in good faith, nothing you’ll say would persuade them anyway.

Waste of time imo

• Israel tried to ally itself with the Nazis
• literally everything Theodor Herzl has said, done and written
• The ICJ ruling
• IDF commanders citing and paraphrasing SS-Waffen commanders
• watch the documentary (think it’s called “Birth of a Nation”), shows them laughing about the atrocities they commited
• biggest open-air concentration camp

While writing this I realized you could probably just watch Hakims youtube videos about Palestine and Israel to get the major points

Happy Birthday comrade!

First I’ve heard of this, considering it

Only basic stuff, the stuff they can’t deny They just portray socialism as bad and utopian (these words are used interchangeably) So capitalism is supposed to be the “grown-ups” way of things; “just look at America they have it way worse than us blabla”

Just had this one in my politics class lol

Thanks for the words of wisdom!

Just to clear up any confusion, the revisionism part was aimed at the MLPD, not the DKP. But thanks for the solid overview!

Currently grappling with this question myself, germany has 2-3 small ML parties, but there is one that is revisionist and doesn’t support AES, but they have a bigger reach, higher budget and more (and more diverse) members

Since apathy and alienation are at an all-time high around here, I really don’t know what to do

Frodo Baggins from Lotr, Hajime Hinata from Danganronpa 2

edit: Cloud Strife from the Remake comes to mind, though he doesn’t rank as high as the former 2
