the joke writes itself:
>Former commander of logistics for the Ukrainian Air Force, Andrey Ukrayinets, is suspected of corruption.

>Over five years, the military official became the owner of 6 apartments, 3 houses, 6 land plots, and 4 cars.

>He has been under investigation since February of this year.

it's funny because Ukrayinets literally means 'a Ukrainian person', and that he's being charged with corruption it's just a reflection of the current state of the Ukrainian state.

It's legit worthless for anyone who makes a pretense to being a communist to talk about foreign policy with relation to their nation when it doesn't even have a DOTP and they should work on building that first before doing anything

If you are queer in prison you are statistically much more likely to get abused and raped than if you are a literal child molester. I doubt leftists would fare much better in the hyper macho rightoid environment that prison is. Not to mention the guards that will intentionally set you up to get attacked if they dont like your politics. I have done time in a criminally insane institution though im not sure how much authotity i have to speak on this considering the environment is a usually regarded and softer and my crime was not necessarily political, even though we had rape and beatdowns there too, though i kept my opinions on anything to myself and minded my own bussiness so i avoided the bulk of the drama. Still, leftists have a big disadvantage on this front considering any type of violent action in service of the revolution will have to face this reality. This will deter a lot of people and i feel especially sad for the queer people that endure so much violence form the right yet cant retaliate because the alternative is being thrown into a sadistic rape dungeon to be tortured till suicide by both cops and inmates. This is a major blackpill a lot of people here are not ready to swallow.

Thankfully I'm white with no tattoos I can just join the other whites

>>2884075
Tattoos are okay as long as they cannot be mistaken for known gang symbols and earned tattoos. Also if they arent political. PSA before getting any tattoo as a leftist make sure it is in a location thats easy to conceal if you plan on doing "activities" and make sure that they dont give away your political leaning. If you really want a political tattoo then make it cryptic and have plausible deniability. I know its hypocritical for me to say this but the best leftist is ableftist with no tattoos at all. You dont need any more identifiable features on you if shtf in the US.

Well, I went to Lexington County jail for 2 days, then went to Kirkland R&E via C1 for 131 days, then I arrived at Turbeville on December 4th, 2023 and by the time I got there I was 5'8" and 130-140 lbs! I was starved to near death at R&E before they finally got rid of a lot of the bullshit from their last food supplier and changed. At first we were having baked/fried fish, which got taken off the menu for being not cooked properly, being badly expired, making people sick and some had serious allergic complications. C1 would get fed last everyday and while every other dorm were being fed like kings. I stayed at Turbeville for 39 days (somehow). Then I stayed at Kershaw County for 116 days, then Evans CI (PC - Waxhaw B/Cherokee/RHU) for 126 days (miserable), then Kirkland GPH (Gilliam B #202) for 30 days, then Moultrie A for 82 days, then 6 days at the Clean Slate reentry program in Sumter, SC while out on supervised reentry, then Sumter-Lee County jail for 49 days (among the worst experiences in my life), then Kirkland R&E from late February to Apriil, then Turbeville again from April until when I maxed out on July 2nd, 2025.

So true. Brezhnevite USSR was worse than de Gaullist France. Chairman Mao said so!

>>2887009
>worse
How is 1st world worse than 2nd world? It's not a moral category, it's a position in world economics and politics, imperialism, yeah?

That's right in the /PRCope/ general we hate Marxism-Leninism, revolution and especially Mao-Zedong-Thought!

Mao Tsetung was anti-Marxist-Leninist and revisionist.

>>2887014
Mao explicitly used the term "worse" when comparing Brezhnevite USSR to Gaullist France.

the structural position of trade unions in this historical moment is legitimization of the exploitation of labor-power and normalizing neoliberal incursions into rights which the working class movement wrestled from the bourgeoisie during the last century

That text is not contextually relevant and very outdated.

This is more appropriate:
https://www.international-communist-party.org/English/REPORTS/UnionQue/74ClassUnionsRiseAgain.htm
>1) The trade unions after the Second World War, in all advanced capitalist countries, are ‘tricolour’ trade unions, i.e. organisations that put the defence of workers’ economic conditions and daily lives after the defence of the interests of the national economy, the capitalist state, democracy and social peace between classes. That is, they are unsuitable and inadequate bodies even for the mere defence of the immediate needs of the proletariat. Of these unions, however they are labelled, the proletarians have nothing to defend and nothing to save.

>2) The dynamics of these ‘tricolour’ organisations continue to unfold in the sense of their ever more complete insertion into the gears of the bourgeois state, even in the formal organisational and legal sense. This trajectory of theirs, which will lead them to become even formally mere appendages of the state machine, unfolds to varying degrees in different countries, and is irreversible unless the proletariat’s class struggle is resumed.

>3) Faced with this observation, not of today, but of twenty-five years ago, not based on contingent events, but on a correct Marxist analysis of the capitalist becoming, which today’s events only confirm, the Party does not draw the inference to abandon work in these organisms. In these organisations and outside them, the Party’s task is to put forward to the proletariat the need for the resurgence of class economic associations, i.e. workers’ bodies for the conduct of economic struggles that are free from state and bourgeois influence.
> This resurrection will be the result of the class returning to the terrain of defending at least its most basic economic interests, with the method of class struggle, against the pressure of capital.
> It could be expressed in two senses: either in the reconquest, ‘perhaps with a beating’, of the present trade unions,Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>2883153
Yes, trade unions that don't have the explicit demand for the immediate abolition of wage-slavery is reformist, but that isn't necessarily bad otherwise we wouldn't have the 40 hour work week or such things as weekends among other things and no one leftist in their right mind would be against such things.

>>2887001
Why are your dialectics idealist?
>in this historical moment is legitimization of the exploitation of labor-power and normalizing neoliberal incursions into rights which the working class
OP didn't stutter. If you can't grasp the nuance of the topic due to lack of investigation you can change that before replying by consulting hismat on the transformation of the labor union struggle within the last 120 years, see: >>2883303 (me). Replies directly subsequent to the OP even would've aided you here, as they provided such analysis (materialist dialectics). Instead you immediately applied idealist dialectics.
I hope my critical engagement with your post aided in constructive reflection.
Best regards, comrade.

>>2887012
I don't understand how they mutually exclude eachother. It is capitalism itself that creates the crises that spur the proletariat into action, if that is reformism during times of relative stability then that is what prevails at that moment. Capitalism needs unions to operate harmoniously, not necessarily as militant organisations but atleast their threat on paper because they're the material coercion that corrects unrestrained competition, it is only when capitalism cannot and will not provide the necessities for the proletariat to replicate itself comfortably that they become militant, if not through mainstream then through autonomously formed orgs.

Ну так она реально со справкой же. Совковая карательная психиатрия это не санаторий у моря. Померла еще блять даже до крымнаша вроде.

>>выступает за мирные перемены в интересах большинства, социальную рыночную экономику, равенство стартовых возможностей, неприкосновенность частной собственности, конкуренцию в политике и экономике
Это не laissez affair капитализм "недостаточно рыночка".

У оппозиции до гойды главные лозунги были это борьба с коррупцией и честные выборы. "Мало рынка" возможно было встретить, бля ну хз, в конце 80-х и начале 90-х, до реформ еще. И то не как основной. Диктатура КПСС более объединяющая проблема была.
