  • I will never stray from the fact that Russia has been instrumental in supporting people around the world, but also recognizing that Russia is a reactionary state, which if given the same status as the United States would engage in all the very same tactics. I know people are quick to dismiss the KPRF as “controlled opposition” that is “joined at the hip” with United Russia, but in my opinion it’s a counter balance that appeals to Soviet era demographics, and it does its job well, and by no means are they “non-radical” in the sense they absolutely risk strikes and organizing people even if it gets them thrown in jail. Yet despite all this, the KPRF recognizes too, the self-determination of Donbass, and has written very good analysis on the subject over the years, recognizing the absolute need of the military operation in the region. I do not personally believe that United Russia wholeheartedly supports this operation from a ground of moral conscience, but I do not also believe that they are innately engaging for economic reasons as one would for a capitalist state. I also hold the belief that out of all post-soviet countries, Russia holds one of the highest potentials for another mass communist movement organized from below, which would almost certainly reform many of the “bad” elements found within the KPRF (some of the more chauvinist points in their programme for example), especially with Russia weakening the chains of the neoliberal crisis, the revival of productive forces due to self reliance from sanctions and pressure, and finally, from the aggression by Kiev’s fascist regime against history and peoples of the USSR, will ultimately only drive people further in to finding the historical links between anti-fascism and communism.







  • Thanks, yeah, I’m pretty sure I know what you’re referring to, I have had those instances where I’ve had to “shut up” my voice, at least for the first few miles of building, but in most of those cases, it was generally because I was either out of breath or felt like my muscles were shaky, but in this case it’s like my arms simply refuse to work at that limit, even if I were to hypothetically “push” myself, I basically just collapse. Sure, it isn’t “fixed” to 25, I have variable instances where I have “reached” 30, but that goal quickly collapses the next day to let’s say, 23 before my body “gives out” again without being able to push on. I know it may sound confusing, but meh, it could as you said, be mental, so I will keep trying anyways, maybe I’ll figure out what’s wrong.








  • On the other hand China has to balance the private economy to push forward as well in the tech industry, and LoongArch is perfect for that in a commercial context, especially now that US lawmakers are seeking to literally “block” China from using RISC-V (good luck with that), it at least provides an excuse, and plus it’s far away enough from both MIPS and RISC-V to be categorized as its own thing. But no despair, there are great RISC-V projects out there, take a look at Milk-V, they released their Mars board and it’s been a huge success. By no means is it being sidelined, but I also recognize as sobuddywhoneedsyou said below that RISC-V is relatively early in the adoption phase, especially with the ARM hype right now, so maybe going slow is for the best.
