what gets me is that if they actually talked to communists they would realize the argument isnt if the USSR was socialist but when the russian revolution fully fell to revisionism/the thermidor. you can tell alot about a socialist's politics based on when they think this process started and when it ended.

In Memoriam General Wojciech Jaruzelski

With deep respect and solemn remembrance, we honor the life of General Wojciech Witold Jaruzelski, a dedicated patriot, military leader, and statesman who devoted his life to the service and sovereignty of the Polish People’s Republic.

His rise through the ranks of the People’s Army was marked by discipline, strategic acumen, and unwavering commitment to socialist ideals. As Minister of Defense, Prime Minister, and First Secretary of the PZPR, General Jaruzelski stood at the helm of the state in one of the most difficult periods in modern Polish history

In December 1981, faced with growing unrest and the threat of chaos stoked by reactionary forces hostile to socialism and sovereignity. He made the difficult but necessary decision to introduce martial law, to protect the achievements of People’s Poland, and to preserve peace and sovereignty in the face of foreign and domestic subversion.
Despite the storm of criticism from the West in the form economic sanctions and later revisionist accounts, history will remember that it was under his leadership that Poland avoided fratricidal conflict

In his final years, he bore the weight of unjust attacks with dignity.
Wieczna chwała Generałowi Wojciechowi Jaruzelskiemu.

I don't understand that language so I don't know what happened or what they're fighting over. How can you kill someone with a camera?

It seems to be footage of a mine detonation and a missile attack on a tank
The close up camera shots seem to be part of some camera rig they set up beforehand, probably to help make propaganda videos like this

their tank ambush vids would be a lot cleaner if the cameras were on lanyards they could drag away after they did the shot so there was at least a few seconds to see the damage

Reminder that vague 'anti-capitalism' is never enough by itself.

Discontent with the capitalistic relation is therefore easy to come by. Nothing comes from it, but rather from what one makes of it. And only one thing is to be demanded of it: the criticism must be correct. In this respect, it all depends on whether someone regards something that stinks as theoretically settled when he frowns on it with the yardstick of the morally acceptable and in addition still thinks that what shouldn't be would not have to be if people only made an effort and controlled their egoism. Appeals to humanity and demands for what should and should not be are a dime a dozen; they accompany capitalistic society from its inception and accomplish only one thing: with them the one who criticizes places himself in the right. He is full of good intentions; it is the others who spoil their coexistence.

Marxist criticism does not bemoan that the world is not as it should be, but rather explains why and how it is. It takes the same ills which everyone deplores, and leads them back to their reasons and demonstrates their necessity on the basis of the mode of organization of this society. This is useful in so far as those who object to these ills know what they have to turn against and what is necessary to stop it. In doing this, we come across one thing: many people may want to get rid of capitalism, but only the propertyless reserveless wage-laborers can do what is necessary for it: with their work, they perpetually sustain and reproduce the economic and political power which compels them into its service. They not only have good reasons, but also the means to overturn the conditions which don't suit us.

I firmly believe one of the main goals of socialism should be to revive beauty in everyday life and make society beautiful again.

Look at photos of Western cities from 110 years ago and you will see how gorgeous and majestic the buildings were. Walk into any old Catholic cathedral and it will move your spirit. Or, look at all of the beautiful Socialist Realist art made in the Soviet Union and other Eastern Bloc nations and how it transformed everyday working people into glorified heroes. Same with the music: classical music is deeply compelling and moving.

Today’s “art” couldn’t be more different. Architecture has become dull and drab. Modern “art” like abstract expressionism makes you feel angry and resentful. Our cities are also littered with graffiti which invokes the exact same feelings of resentment. Music has gone from orchestras collectively performing epic symphonies to a single music producer pushing buttons on an Akai MPC sampler. Hip hop, electronic music and other sample-based “music” creates a sense of distortion in listeners.

All of this has greatly contributed to the capitalist mindset. When people are surrounded by ugly “art” and “music” they start to see the world as innately ugly. When this happens they start to become withdrawn and lose all sense of solidarity with their fellow man. It leads to social isolation, resentment, confusion and distortion. Anger. A breakdown of love. And it makes people feel as if they have no stake in defending society because all they see society as is ugly and alienating.

Art under socialism is different. The USSR banned jazz (some of the first degenerate “music”) and China bans hip hop. China also bans graffiti and punishes it with jail time. Real socialist nations do NOT celebrate the gutter but promote beauty as a way of festering solidarity between working people. This is what we must return to.(Rule 12 - low-quality reactionary nonsense)

>The same people who think J Dilla pushing buttons on a sampler was “innovative” are the same people who think Jackson Pollock splattering paint on a canvas was “innovative.”
Except the kind of art and music you're talking about isn't at all what the current hegemonic culture is feeding us. You know that saying: "The opposite of love isn't hate; the opposite of love is indifference"? I'd say the opposite of beauty isn't ugly; the opposite of beauty is blandness. The problem isn't that everything is "ugly" nowadays but that everything is bland, generic, and personality-less. What mainstream culture promotes nowadays isn't chaotic and distorted art and music but lowest-common-denominator minimalism that lacks any real personality. Yeah, you may say the paintings of Jackson Pollock ("the CIA's favourite") or the beat tapes of J Dilla ("the intellectual elites' favourite") are "ugly" but you'd be hard put to deny they have qualities to them that make them distinct.

Look at the Billboard Top 100 and you won't find many songs that involve layering samples upon samples upon samples. Look at the art used as home decor and you won't find much that resembles Pollock. Hell, look at modern home decor in general and you'll notice how much contemporary living spaces look like dentist office waiting rooms or Apple stores. Fashion too has become incredibly dull. Everything is white, beige, and grey with zero funky colours anymore.

That's largely because art, music, fashion, home decor, architecture, etc. is all about efficiency. The years of selling fantasy are over, now it's about mass production via social media. Nearly everything is about catering towards social media.

Also, sampling IS a legitimate form of making music. All those Joe Hill songs you sing every May Day used melodies stolen from church hymns.

Bolivia’s President Arce, polls slipping, quits 2025 presidential race

Republicans Are Giving Rental Price-Fixing a Green Light
Republicans’ massive artificial intelligence giveaway in their must-pass budget reconciliation bill could kill crackdowns on real estate management company RealPage for raising rents and contributing to the country’s housing crisis. The move comes after RealPage drastically scaled up its lobbying efforts in Washington. The language in the bill amounts to a ten-year ban on state governments passing any new regulations on artificial intelligence technology. According to congressional staffers and outside policy advocates monitoring the reconciliation package, that section would apply to the growing industry of pricing consultants using AI tools across various sectors, the most powerful player being RealPage. RealPage, which offers an “analytics” platform for landlords, is currently facing a bipartisan crackdown in a number of states for helping landlords “optimize” rent increases. Those reforms would be preemptively nullified if the current language in the budget bill makes it into the final version. The House Energy and Commerce Committee voted on an initial markup of the bill yesterday afternoon.

How China is quietly aiding Israel's settlement enterprise
Back to 2015, China signed a bilateral labour agreement with Israel that included a stipulation preventing Chinese workers from being employed in the Occupied West Bank. Notably, this condition was motivated by safety concerns rather than by a principled stance against the illegality or immorality of settlement construction. However, in 2016, these safety concerns appeared to have diminished when China acquired Ahava, a settlement-based company located in Mitzpe Shalem. One year later, both countries signed another labour agreement to bring in 6000 Chinese construction workers to Israel under the same conditions. Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon confirmed the deal was “based on the concern for the safety and security of the workers”. However, Chinese officials responded by stating that “the real issue was not safety, but China’s objection to construction in the settlements.” Yet my interviews with residents - from Nablus to Ramallah to Hebron - made clear that Chinese workers rePost too long.

People love speculating about the "demise of social media" these days but tbh the internet being so incredibly centralised in the US and thus making so much global infrastructure reliant on the stability of one country always struck me as very short-sighted. Everyone would see it as reckless if it was any other country.

I'm a communist from Russia, member of both the Party and the Komsomol.

A year or two ago I made a similar thread where I answered your questions about us. Figured it’s time for an update. Since then I’ve gotten more involved in the Movement and also dug deeper into theory.

So — what do you want to know about Russian communists from someone actually here? Just ask.

But in all seriousness, anyone who is a student of Marxism should know that revolutions happen because the material conditions allow for them, not because the Marxists living there are special.

I feel like feds will keep winning because of the advantage they have and the amount of surveillance and shit. Like there is nothing to be done right now besides wait it out. The amount of shit I've written when I was young (with entirely different political views) has made a massive digital footprint as far as I know and they could just pull up anything from the past to use against me and even if they don't have anything on you they could always make something up. Thinking of the thesis of decomposition or waiting for decay and collapse from the amassed contradictions.

I don't think there is anything that can be really done by anyone here. Even if you're organized, maybe at most you can hope that China and Russia screw over the US and the West.
Not saying anyone shouldn't try anything, just writing for myself. It feels extremely futile and I feel paranoid that the mistakes I make can catch up to me from the past.
I wonder if they're watching right now, feds actively monitoring this or if its just the algorithm indexing every page and key.

I don't even live in the US, yet it feels like they're always watching over my shoulder. Smothering all other people around me with the most abominable retarded garbage social medias can offer.
OPSEC is dead. Encryption is dead. Cybersecurity is a joke. Not to mention its not just three letter agencies but also other unaffiliated malicious actors. Having accounts and passwords on the internet compromised any notion anonymity, too many have already been wrapped up in "the web". To a point where the task of deletion and archive are as difficult as lifting a skyscraper. Writing anything personal on the internet is like a guaranteed probability of having it leaked.

Not to mention how the algorithms themselves are made to promote hate content and fearmongering now, countless "exposed" videos where a person can literally have their life ruined for something they wrote when they were a teen. Many such cases. Snowden dubbed it a permanent record. At least until the west collapses with its disguising internet.

At the very least I know that the capitalist mode of production is unsustainable, one day all of this will be gone, but who knows how many it will haunt and torment during their life. Even if nothing is happening, the torment of not knowing if something horrible will happen is enough to drive a sober mind insane.

I know how that feels. You can acknowledge the way things are going and prepare for certain things within reasonable limits, but otherwise, mainly, you have to cultivate your spirit, know thyself, basically all that kind of wisdom still applies. I think if you can shape a stable identity and a clear mind and cultivate place where you can process all of this noise and negativity without it starting an emotional chain reaction, then you'll probably be able to handle whatever comes.

I read a lecture by Nabokov where he talks about common sense (and it's common sense that tells us that the world is bad). And he describes a cartoon where a guy slips off a roof, and as he's falling he notices a sign over a shop is misspelled and wonders why no one's fixed it. Which encapsulates the human ability to marvel at trifles, in spite of our own mortality and everything, and this capacity to see beyond common sense is what allows to know that the world is actually good.
