Working class employee of the Sashatown Central News Agency, the official news service of the DPRS Ministry of State Security. Your #1 trusted source for patriotic facts.
The most fucked up part is that while all of the adults in the country pull the train, all of the children pull the adults. In front of the kids? That’s right, dogs. Those dogs are pulled by ducks with teeny tiny ropes. This is the reality of communism.
Mr Walker repeatedly said “I’m nearly 50” while visibly out of breath when a camera did eventually enter the room.
Hopefully he dies in the coming heatwaves.
Let us not, however, flatter ourselves overmuch on account of our human victories over nature. For each such victory nature takes its revenge on us.

The Noble Paedophile, our only answer to the Wicked Paedophile.
Your daily reminder that rattlesnakes are secondary pollinators. They eat rodents full of seeds and their digestive acids don’t ruin the germination potential. It’s acid scarification and a wider range for edible plants. Every spaghetti is valuable.
I shouldn’t look for patient files, search for patients
Be really careful with this. All searches are logged. If the care team is hit with a HIPAA violation or malpractice case, they’ll pull up those access records and you risk being caught up in it.
ER culture is trauma bonding. They have to set themselves apart from the rest of the hospital because it’s playing Russian roulette for 12 hours straight and any lapse in concentration risks killing someone. A decade later I don’t take breaks in a completely different field because there’s that nagging voice that says downtime leads to chaos. But it isn’t your turn to give a fuck, so you’re not tied to their culture and there shouldn’t be the same expectation. They’re the asshole in a way that can’t change without them disconnecting from the job. When they go to a new job, they’ll be seen as the asshole who’s too motivated.
Mind: changed :wholesome:
So he’s finally turning against Peter Mandelson?
With any unfamiliar water source, I just brew tea on a long boil. One cup with the same green tea bag refilled 5+ times is safe and the caffeine content dissipates by the third pour. I’ve never had issues with water when travelling, backpacking, or camping by sticking to this.
Thanks to the strides made by the developed socialist economy, it recently became possible to launch the construction of houses by industrial methods. Let us see now how available housing has increased in the Soviet Union. The young Soviet state inherited from the tsarist regime altogether 180 million sq m of useful floor space in towns. This figure has by now been exceeded ten times, mounting to 1,860 million sq m. In the last decade alone, 34 million flats were constructed, which means that more than half the population and nearly three-quarters of the urban population live in new flats or houses. Since some people move into new flats and houses, those who remain in the old dwellings are less crowded, so the majority of working people have had their living conditions improved.
Houses are built in the Soviet Union at an increasing rate. Whereas in forty-odd years, 1917-1959, only about 500 million sq m of floor space in state-owned houses could be built, 545-550 million sq m of floor space will be put into operation during the current five-year period alone (1976-1980). Such is one side of the problem, which is that at the current stage the Soviet state really can provide its citizens with comfortable dwellings.
The other side of the problem is no less important. Rent in the Soviet Union is the lowest in the world, although it is paid for the use of modern dwellings with all conveniences. Soviet citizens are astonished to hear foreign visitors complain that rent consumes more than a third of their earnings. In the Soviet Union, rent comes on average to 5-6 per cent of earnings. Since there is no unemployment in the Soviet Union, and labour is in great demand, usually several members of a family have jobs and on this basis rent accounts at most for 2-3 per cent of the aggregate income of an average Soviet family. In many countries, as is known, apartment houses or tenements constitute a profitable industry.
The Soviet state, however, has never regarded rent as an item of revenue. Both in the past and at the present time rent in the Soviet Union is expended on the maintenance and preservation of houses. The great material possibilities for the construction of new houses and the social measures taken to ensure fair distribution of floor space at low rent thus make a real guarantee of the right of Soviet citizens to housing.
Rent being 5-6% of your income and going to building maintenance is what I use to shut down this line of anticommunism. The commie blocs in Bucharest were so nice that they made me an urbanist.
Someday I will fly it. My kids will email me back to say “We understand now. We respect you”. They won’t call me The Sad Man anymore. Nobody will.
I vote for ballot initiatives and then use the DSA’s voter guide for local elections. For president it’s always PSL. Voting for a DSA member isn’t getting an ML revolution, but it is sewer socialism at a local level. Sewer socialism is powerful in a country where the little infrastructure that does work still drives a 20th century society. Americans are radicalised into fascism twice a day on their commute.
Would you ever vote for someone like Trump just to make things intentionally worse in the hopes of sparking off a revolution?
Accelerationism falls into the same wishful thinking category as adventurism. Not wanting blood on my hands is why I don’t vote for democrats. If I throw a chaotic evil boomerang by voting for a fascist, that’s just voting for a democrat and hoping it blows back on enough people to do something before hitting me. The closest thing I’ve found to a good ML path is what the Black Panthers were doing in the 1960-70s. Electoralism and existing power structures might have been cynically engaged, like funding the mutual aid initiatives or electing a politician who might give them breathing room, but power came from organising in their communities and building up dual structures that linked intersectionally with other orgs. Revolution was putting up a stop sign where the city wouldn’t so that the residents watching learned that they had power. It was feeding hungry kids while their parents were engaged in discussions about their issues. Those things can’t be trusted to electoralism because politicians are temporary and usually replaced by their opposite.
Rimu needs to be the first person since Conner O’Malley to be criminally convicted for being weird. Rimu, why do you choose to be this person?
It’s a shame the fediverse doesn’t have native support for them. They made web 1.0 forums fun in a way that 2.0 forums lacked.
I appreciate when an animal looks like god was having a bad day. I too rush things and forget to complete projects.
talking is easy than actually doing something.
People who have chatbots hallucinate glass houses for them shouldn’t throw “doing something” stones. The reason people hate your slop is that you didn’t “do something” like an artist would.
I’m not them. I’m just a Marxist calling it out as self-defeating Orthodox Marxism.
Marx was also writing based on observing specific conditions in specific places 150 years ago. The point of Marxism is that it’s a way to coherently frame the things you’re currently observing as intersectionally as possible and test them against prior studies while checking your own personal biases. Most of my organising as a Marxist is in anarchist or democratic socialist orgs because they’re easier to start in the surveillance state that developed after Marx said this. They just don’t scale up as easily as an ML org like PSL, which maintains the same message with discipline in cities across the US. That higher level of organisation is equally important to anarchism’s ease with local organisation, more secure and more able to centralise and use resources.
The ducks eat the dogs, the dogs eat the train, the kids eat each other, and the workers have to clap in unison for their patriotic sacrifice. This is what the left wants.
