From China! Celeberation of the Long March
YEAAAAHHHH
Wow Lula won! Not bad.
Even though I dislike him because of what he did to Venezuela with BRICS, he is a better choice than Bozonazi.
Yeah, the left hasn’t reached their full potential in Brazil yet. But at least the communist movement has space to grow now. Especially if Lula decides to ban Meta
Especially if Lula decides to ban Meta
Inshallah. It would be amazing.
True, it would also turn into a catalysator for other countries to do the same
tbf being better than a bozonazi is a low bar
Well, uh, I know comrades have opinions about Pedro Sanchez here in Spain, but I am kinda hoping the snap elections don’t result in a right-wing victory at the moment. 😭😭
🫂🍀❤️
Just now getting my insurance. I hope they don’t change anything about how to become a full Spanish citizen later (I am only an EU citizen atm)
Think positive thoughts, be prepared for anything. I have the utmost confidence in your ability to navigate complexities and heal, simultaneously. Of course, I want to take concerns seriously, and you can address them, with online and 3D comrades, a therapist with whom you work well, all of the above. Always with an eye toward, “I’ve come through the worst. I am strong, healthy, getting better, and things will work out for me!”
It may sound a little doubtful to you at tomes, but as Sun Tzu noted, the battle is won and lost before we’re ever on the field.
I love you, dear comrade, and I’m glad that rather than remain paralyzed by fear, doubt, denial, rage, you are finding a way to make the most of your available options. That takes real courage, strength, taming the inner beast. I am so proud of you!
And maybe one day we can meet in 3D. I would be honored and love to meet my sister and friend in real life.
Have a great week, everyone! Be sure to wear weather-appropriate clothing as the seasons change where you live!
As always, communism will win.
We’ve got to change clothes twice a day, temperatures can change up to 10 degrees C in a single day where I live.

You too!
It’s wool season 😎
Thanks Cowbee! Hope your week will be great as well.
Mbappe got metaphorically smacked very beautifully by China due to his disrespectful comments regarding Mao Zedong.
I love it tho Mbappe is not that terrible politically as other footballers so it kinda sucks it happened to him. But props to China for putting a stop to the infantile and malicious slander of their political figures, lie after lie turned the characterization of Mao as a dictador in the west while Mao is widely loved in his country.
Honestly, it is good that he was made an example. It feels nice when libs can’t get away with their anticommunist slanders.
Life is happening fast right now. On the plus side I feel the most alive I have in years. On the downside I have an anxiety disorder that likes to punch me in the throat.
I am starting therapy soon, though, so I hope it can help me in my eternal struggle against my own brain.
I’m sorry for that, Comrade. I wish you swift success in slaying that “demon.”
Wishing everyone a good week
I am still in some denial that he actually won, like what were the odds.
I hope you all have a nice week :D

I wish I could be friends with these people
This makes me want to leave the United States.

I’m realizing that if Marx was alive today, he would 100% be the sort of guy that would use Excel or LibreOffice Calc as an everything app.
I’m talking a giant spreadsheet with random notes, links to other books, and images and graphs on any cells.
And poor Engels would have to parse this mess.

I really don’t understand why some churches depict Satan in “demonic” fashion. Dude is supposed to look like an “angel of light”. He isn’t supposed to look obviously evil. Who’s gonna get tempted by that??
If I see some hooded old guy or horned beast offering riches in exchange for my soul, I’m not gonna take that offer based on his looks alone.
These churches don’t even read the lore smh
I think that depiction is showing what happens when you sell out.
Makes sense then. I guess images are supposed to be symbolic.
The EU new age restriction laws mean that subreddits about sexual health or transgender surgeries aren’t visible anymore, unless you give them your personal data. And since I’m a communist and those subreddits can be very personal, I don’t trust them with that information. They’re not making anyone safer, they’re just withholding important information, which leads to people being unsafer. If it was China, I wouldn’t mind giving them my data, but this is the EU we’re talking about. Fuck the EU
Use a VPN so that Reddit thinks you are opening the site from outside the EU.
Totally forgot about VPNs. Firefox apparently has a built in VPN that works perfectly. Thanks!
Use a VPN
Always good advice.
Sometimes I find myself wanting to go like “what would my life be like if xyz part of my life had gone differently?” That sort of thing. I spose in kind of a regretful way, like wishing for a better path. But then, from a diamat point of view, it seems about as meaningful as asking “what if I was a different person?” I mean, my genetics would be the same still, but if my early life had been significantly different for example, I wouldn’t have a lot of the same memories that I have, I wouldn’t have had a lot of the same experiences that I had to grow from. There’d still be aspects of me that would be the same (namely, predispositions) but the rest of it could be pretty different.
But I might be looking at it in more of an old paradigm way too. Maybe the communist way would be to say “yeah, it could have been better and here’s how” for the purposes of better understanding what needs to be better for people broadly going forward. I can’t change what the foundation of my life was, but I can try to contribute to other people having a better foundation.
This is a beautiful attitude. I’m more of the mind justice may be more us learning to accept, only keep past memories as data points for mapping a way forward, releasing resentments. The body will follow the mind.
