Thank you!! I feel like a gotdang boomer on this website

Not sure if all of these are shibboleths but they’re definitely things I’ve heard leftists say

I know the Biden admin are doing this cynically but god i hope this stays. The sanctions are evil and they make it so hard for people in Cuba to survive

Playing through the telltale games, just finished wolf among us and batman season 1. Playing batman season 2 right now. The quick time events have gotten pretty old pretty fast. But the stories are fun and choices feel important.

Honestly most anime are guilty pleasures. It feels like playing minesweeper on expert for whether your gonna have to see and try to ignore some problematic shit

Nothing that couldn’t have been done better by public institutions had they had the same funding. Most of the big research they get to claim is because they already have shit tons of money to buy the best newest equipment and pay for 10+ postdocs per lab. Even then they don’t actually pay the grad students or postdocs (who do all the research labor) all that different compared to public universities.

Absolutely genius video, teaching about the Jakarta method and the history of Indonesia and New Guinea. With real journalism. In a fucking prank video

GTFO SCAB, we’re on strike! (the bear works there)

I don’t really know what to say other than that this pisses me the fuck off. I know i’ve said shit like this in the past and i know lots of people who’ve said shit like this. They’re making her an example

Business, plain and simple Say hi to the misses for me

It’s been pretty good but I think I’ve lost some interest about 30 hours in. After reclassing every party member, gaining some levels and getting to the second map, the routine is repeatedly use padfoot to decrease encounter rate. And then just leave every character on “fight wisely” which is better in most cases than controlling them. The ai is just a little too smart, every battle can kinda go automatically.

Even Nevada passed it, California is a special fucking kind of evil

They’re probably just trying to be nice. Folks are more likely to listen to what you have to say when your kind and polite and not seeming judgemental. And being nice pushes against this idea of scary communists trying to take everything you own and change everything you like.

Can’t find much about the numbers of prisoners. But folks should check out the plan progressivo. (i had to use scihub to view) Most Cuban prisoners have short term stays (1-4 years). Are paid the same as civilians. Are watched and given political education by civilians who do the same work, live in the same quarters and eat the same food as the prisoners. There are lots of sports, with baseball being pretty popular. It kinda sounds closer to a summer camp with classes, paid farm work and camp counselors than what we think about prisons in the US.

Probably not, the US skirts the legal definition of a blockade by creating insane hoops to jump through. Countries that want to trade with Cuba can’t use the SWIFT banking system, meaning no digital transactions, meaning they literally have to carry the cash with them to the island and back. They have to use ships that can’t dock in US ports for 6 months after docking in Cuba (which Cuba having a gdp less than half a percent of US gdp means businesses have no incentive to choose trade with Cuba). And the trade has to be humanitarian, no military applications (but this also applies to medical and tech equipment which US says have “dual purpose”). All that said, there are awesome countries that choose to go through these hoops at significant cost and risk. But it takes a lot of time and planning to setup and get the right permits.

Probably the same goal as any ML party: Spread revolutionary ideas to wider audiences, expose contradictions in the bourgeois political system, develop organizational capacity and connect with and educate the masses. The vote number itself can also be helpful as a structure test for self-analysis. Where was PSL successful, what tactics worked, how did that contribute to cadre growing, larger protests, etc.

Unions at their core are just all of the workers in a workplace. Sure workers in the US can be reactionary as hell so how do we change that? Well, Lenin talked about unions being schools for communism. They’re where the average person can start to gain organizational skills, political training and ultimately state building skills. These are skills no other school in the US will teach you. You take these skills to address the material conditions of the workplace and then you can broaden that to outside the workplace. As socialists we don’t get power from capital, we get it from people. If we want any chance of meaningful power in the imperial core, then we need to meet people where they’re at in the struggle. Lots of those people are workers struggling in workplaces and unions are the tool we can use to address that.

yup finished a few days ago, pretty lib, all the good guys are royalty, the bad guys are the church and a libertarian magician. Pretty standard jrpg fare tho. Fun gameplay
