Stay positive, everyone! Even if whatever it is you’re doing seems daunting or too large, steady progress makes for steady results. Splitting up a large goal into smaller ones can make it seem more manageable, and this goes for anything from organizing to cleaning your place.
As always, communism will win.
One of the funniest things to come out of the refugee crisis in Europe is that in The Netherlands there is a documentary about people fleeing to Paraguay to escape the system (and migrants, in their own words) only for them to end up living in Dutch circles in Paraguay refusing to adapt to the locals. If it were satire it would be too much, but it is reality.
It really shows how there’s still a huge coloniser’s mindset in Dutch people
So it’s May and there is a heatwave right now. Absolutely scorching 30+ degree weather for like a week. No cloud. No wind. No rain.
But everything is fine, you know? Nothing’s happening.
I hope you all have a nice week :D
You too Oppo
You too, comrade! ₍ᐢ •͈ ༝ •͈ ᐢ₎♡
You too!
You too comrade!
You too Comrade!
🫵 You WILL have hope, comrade.
I put on the default Belgian state radio right now and within half an hour they played like Kneecap and antifascist songs and honestly I’m impressed
how’s everyone? it’s been a while since I posted here. ans recently went to Spain Madrid and Barcelona on a work trip.
saw a palestine protest right in front of a world heritage center
Really enjoying this talk with some Venezuelan Comrades. One of the bits that stuck out to me the most: The Bolivarian revolutionary culture of “a hora” Where Chavez agreed to put down arms… for now and that is what they are doing today.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Communists should bring back the puritan naming scheme
I.e Nicholas if-christ-did-not-die-for-thee-thou-hast-been-damned Barbon
Or his father, praise-god Barbon
I’m gonna name my son Damian Political-power-grows-out-of-the-barrel-of-a-gun Harris
Is it common (I don’t know if weird is a good word to use) to be much more zen as a communist? I feel like ever since becoming an ML, I’m more relaxed and peaceful, and I’m a bit torn what that indicates.
When you realize nearly all the ills of the world boil down to one thing it really does take a lot of pressure off.
Yesterday I was on the subway and I realized that the next station is given in French and Occitan. I’m happy to see that the language of my people has not yet been fully killed by France. If someone is curious, “next station” (or whatever you call it in English) is “estacion que vèn”, at least in the local dialect. I really want to learn our language but it’s already a miracle that I speak English.
That’s really nice to hear! Hopefully the Occitan language and identity will flourish. Southern France is so different from Northern France so it’s a shame that identity has been lost. It also irks me when people talk about French food like it’s a single cuisine, even though Occitan cuisine is more similar to Italian and Spanish food
Every day I feel less like liking football on the highest level and instead just want to support some local teams. The English champions are presented like some sort of magical thing but meanwhile they spend 1.3 billion euro to acquire a team to become champions. They will face what is effectively the sports branch of an oil state in the European final. Stats run the game now instead of wanting to play nice football and if I hear one more person saying xG I will become violent.
Same, I’m also moving towards following women’s football more.
I really shouldn’t watch TV shows set in high school. It just triggers my bullying and exclusion trauma from back then.
I good times in high school, but still that type of media just makes me feel bad because life just got a lot shittier after.
Saw a guy I got a socialist/anti-fascist tattoo from posting online in support of Graham Platner.
I just can’t believe how after such a long and documented history of US subterfuge of the left, people will just fall for this guy so easily
chanced upon this on front page
