"Love labor, hate mastery over others, and avoid a close relationship with the government" (Avot, 1:10)
"Anti-Semitism means spreading enmity towards the Jews. When the accursed tsarist monarchy was living its last days it tried to incite ignorant workers and peasants against the Jews. The tsarist police, in alliance with the landowners and the capitalists, organised pogroms against the Jews. The landowners and capitalists tried to divert the hatred of the workers and peasants who were tortured by want against the Jews. In other countries, too, we often see the capitalists fomenting hatred against the Jews in order to blind the workers, to divert their attention from the real enemy of the working people, capital. Hatred towards the Jews persists only in those countries where slavery to the landowners and capitalists has created abysmal ignorance among the workers and peasants. Only the most ignorant and downtrodden people can believe the lies and slander that are spread about the Jews. This is a survival of ancient feudal times, when the priests burned heretics at the stake, when the peasants lived in slavery, and when the people were crushed and inarticulate. This ancient, feudal ignorance is passing away; the eyes of the people are being opened.
It is not the Jews who are the enemies of the working people. The enemies of the workers are the capitalists of all countries. Among the Jews there are working people, and they form the majority. They are our brothers, who, like us, are oppressed by capital; they are our comrades in the struggle for socialism. Among the Jews there are kulaks, exploiters and capitalists, just as there are among the Russians, and among people of all nations. The capitalists strive to sow and foment hatred between workers of different faiths, different nations and different races. Those who do not work are kept in power by the power and strength of capital. Rich Jews, like rich Russians, and the rich in all countries, are in alliance to oppress, crush, rob and disunite the workers.
Shame on accursed tsarism which tortured and persecuted the Jews. Shame on those who foment hatred towards the Jews, who foment hatred towards other nations.
Long live the fraternal trust and fighting alliance of the workers of all nations in the struggle to overthrow capital." - V. I. Lenin, Anti-Jewish Pogroms

MODERATORS
Etta Federn was bornon April 28th 1883 in Vienna, the youngest daughter of an assimilated Jewish family. She was the daughter of the suffragette Ernestine Federn and the doctor Salomon Federn and the sister of Paul, who became an analyst, Karl, who became a lawyer and writer, and Walter who became a journalist.
She had an education on an equal footing with her brothers. She studied literary history, German and Greek literature. After graduation she began to study German and philosophy. In addition, she received a broad education in foreign languages.
She broke with her family and moved to Berlin, where she completed her studies with a thesis on Faust. She earned her living there first as a teacher and then as a translator from English, French, Danish, Russian and Yiddish. She translated Alexandra Kollontai, Hans Christian Anderson and Shakespeare.
She worked as a literary critic for the newspaper Berliner Tageblatt. She published many biographies including those of Dante and Goethe. At the same time she began to write essays, biographies, autobiographical, stories, a play and poems. She married twice, both marriages ending in separation.
She made contact with the anarchist movement in Berlin and began to participate in the activities of the German anarcho-syndicalist union the FAUD (Free Workers' Union of Germany - Freie Arbeiter Union Deutschlands), contributing articles to its press on a regular basis. She began to make many friends within this movement.
The anarchist movement in Berlin attracted in Etta’s own words many “self-motivated Jewish women who offered their intellectual, emotional and political support to the ideas of social revolution, free education, the importance of cultural work, women’s emancipation and the importance of solidarity and responsible behaviour”.
She met Emma Goldman, Mollie Steimer, and Sonia Flechin, among others. In particular, she maintained a close friendship with Rudolf Rocker and Milly Witkop for life. She took an active part in the women’s organisation founded by the FAUD, the Syndikalistischen Frauenbund -Syndicalist Women’s Organisation (SFB).
She received death threats from the Nazis as a result of her biography of the liberal politician Walter Rathenau, murdered by right wing officers, which was published in 1927. In addition the forces of reaction put pressure on the newspapers and publishing houses she usually wrote for, so that her sources of income began to dry up.
She left Germany for Barcelona in 1932, at the age of 49 with her two sons. In 1933 her books were amongst those destroyed during the Nazi public book burnings and she was placed on the Nazi blacklist.
In Barcelona she received continuing support from the anarchist circles still in Berlin, and in turn she was able to welcome those fleeing to Berlin later. She was able to adapt quickly to Barcelona, writing articles for the Spanish press within weeks and starting to learn Catalan. However, she remained financially straitened, and had to rely on small but regular transfers of money from her close relatives in the USA.
During the Spanish revolution she joined Mujeres Libres (Free Women), the anarchist women’s movement, in July 1936. She taught literature, language and education at the cultural centre set up by Mujeres Libres, the House of the Woman Worker, was based on the teachings of the Spanish libertarian educationalist, Francisco Ferrer.
Later , in 1937, she founded, in collaboration with Mujeres Libres, four libertarian schools in the Catalan city of Blanes. These schools, of which she was the director, trained teachers as well as teaching children. They were co-educational, with an orientation towards atheism and antimilitarism, and designed to have an anxiety free, stimulating and caring atmosphere for children.
In May 1937 she returned to Barcelona and had her book Mujeres de las Revoluciones , which included biographical sketches of twelve famous women, published by Mujeres Libres.
In 1938, because of the massive bombing raids on Barcelona she left for Paris with her two sons.
Between 1940-1945 she moved to Lyons. She was by now completely exhausted physically and sometimes seriously ill. Despite this, she engaged in resistance work through translations, propaganda work and organisation.
Her oldest son Hans died in 1944 in the fighting at Vercors. Paradoxically it was because of this that she became entitled to French nationality and a small monthly pension, although she remained in poverty until her death in Paris ion May 9th, 1951.
She features as a literary personality in a novel of the Swedish anarchist writer Stig Dagerman (who had married the German anarchist Annemarie Goetze) Skuggen av Mart (Stockholm 1947) and in Utan Vaiaktig stad (Stockholm 1948) the novel of another Swedish writer, Arne Fosberg.

Theory:
Took my dog out for a walk again today. There was a much bigger dog that seemed to scare him, but he's only a puppy at the moment - hopefully he'll get a bit braver.
It's a bit in Umineko, basically the main character is named Battler and has that as their kanji name. The other characters have a similar name scheme, so I’m wondering how much license that affords me if I want to link original names to kanji
Oh, got it. Yeah, that's a pretty common thing in Japanese media. I see it a lot for techniques in manga where the kanji will have an English (in katakana) reading next to it to make it more "exotic".
Thanks! The reason I ask specifically is because it's noted in the story that the names are eccentrically-written and glommed onto English due to a naming tradition, so I was wondering to what degree of arcane-ness is it for the script. Like, is it like naming your kid Keighleigh or is it like writing your kid's name without vowels on the birth certificate
1% spawn on Yanma, the stats on Ledian? Once more complaining on how much Gen 2 Pokemon seemed to hate the Gen 2 Pokemon.
Still, I love the mazes and dungeons. GSC really rewarded doubling back and exploring old places with new HM's. Natu was honestly a great reward in that respect.
Also TIL that Silver and Gold don't just give you a free baby Pokemon egg. I've beaten Gold before, but I've replayed Crystal so many times as a kid and an adult that it just never dawned on me.
Is it corny to suggest that the answer to postmodern apathy when confronted with the horrors of genocide is to be guided by love? I mean, yeah revolution and all that, but something that I can communicate to libs who might be shaken in their inaction very briefly. Maybe it just confirms what they already vaguely believe?
I'm thinking about films that connect to that theme, too. I was considering how a lot of solidarity films can communicate why revolutionaries give up their lives and fight so earnestly, and how it all ties to a feeling of great love. I'm thinking of Battle of Algiers, First Reformed, and kinda strangely The Handmaiden (take it in its colonial context and pair it with a Marxist feminist reading to maybe see my point).
Am I going to the lecture about AI in research or the one by a surgeon describing his experiences doing surgery with fishing wire and a drill he had to have a nurse collect at a hardware store, while doing international humanitarian work. 🤔
Why would they even double book this. What kind of turbo dork is going to the AI lecture which is probably identical to 60000 other AI lectures already given this year.
Does anyone know if there’s any theory written about oppressed groups in the imperial core and creating a type of “parallel culture”?
With chuds, fascism being overwhelmingly embraced by the mainstream. I got the message loud and clear: I am not welcome in mainstream society.
I just want to fuck off to the city where I can be with my fellow weirdos in peace but no one is hiring anymore so I can never leave and living in the sticks with people who want me dead if they knew anything about me is fucking unbearable.
The unemployed population once again wants to remind employers we’re still waiting on our jobs and are raring to go whenever!
“No one wants to work anymore!”
Then give us a try. You can’t know if we’re really all that bad if you never try us!
just fucking tired of life. life always was kinda of shit for me, but hearing shit from a close family member does not help at all. specially when it's less than a year that my mom died.
Does anybody appreciate it when I avoid emphasising an oppressor’s nationality, or is it really irritating?
I’d be especially interested in reading a German’s, Italian’s, or Japanese’s feedback on this.
Went to a Chinese/Jewish wedding this weekend. Was great. Held up the chair for the groom
Went from taking shots of tequila through out the day to shots of apple cider vinegar, never give up chat you to can be on my level 
slightly unrelated but apple cider vinegar is also really good for tough stains, put a little bit in some soapy water in a pot or pan, let it sit on the heat for a bit, gets way easier to scrub
I mostly use white vinegar in stead of fabric softener, cheaper better for the longevity of my machine and makes my clothes feel better
Oh sorry, meant to say for stains in dishes
I'm drinking it for the stains in my soul
Grind never ends that's why they call me Windmill
Having children should be free
Some Canadian geese were walking their kids near my running path. After I stepped over to pass they started hissing at me and moving towards me while raising their wings. I ran faster and they stopped.What if they're on the path next time, how do I win?
Simply raise your wings and hiss louder
For people who understand computers, is this an okay beginners pre-built set up?

I don't play any really large games but that might be more because I've never had anything I could do that on so I might want to once I have a real gaming computer.
I currently really like don't starve together, raft, and rimworld and would mostly be playing those (unless I find more games I like)
This feels far too expensive for a beginner setup. You should comparison shop because I think you can get much better specs for that price point.
I still would advocate for building your own desktop. It's good also for future desktop maintenance and will knock off 100-200 dollars from the price (windows tax and assembling costs).

Dream missed connections: you were the jacked kangaroo lady from my dreams I was the slightly bigger than you cubby guy who was helping you empty those bags of shells on the plastic tables for the rest of the class. I miss you please astral project me back your tragic back story moved me and I thought you were cute 🥺
when i come to power the first thing i will do is make glass chopping boards illegal
ass crapping boards
agreed
don't they put glass shavings in the food or something?
idk maybe, all i know is they make a horrible noise and blunt knives
Dark deity 2 is great for most part but I REALLY HATE when stories try to make you sympathize with an otherwise unrepentant evil villain because "they are just like our protagonist but raised by evil dad"
i really hate when a story gets close to good/great but unfortunately gets something wrong, more frustating than just a plain unsalvageable story like engage/fates.spoiler
lets kill off one of your main PLAYABLE CHARACTERS to show off the "realistic cost of war" only to be undermined by not only sparing but also literally letting an evil ass princess that had a direct hand in killing one of protagonists just walk away freely is such a convulted narrative choice just why? why are we given choice decide the fate of entire civilizations but no choice in killing a remorseless villain? and then in the next chapter you execute an enemy general so wtf, also 29 chapters in and our protagonist STILL CRASHES out for being a leader like I get wanting your heroes to be emotionally vulnerable, however this happens like 6 times already before its getting tiring.
I am calling for the immediate resignation of every western media "journalist."
I'm gonna wait for the remastered version of this mega
Have an earache and can hear my own pulse beating in my head and can't sleep 
FYI pulse tinnitus can be caused by circulation/heart problems so maybe see a doctor if that keeps up. Except your ear hurts so it’s probably not that. Don’t listen to me I’m an idiot.
What're some cool posters I can put up in my house with people who aren't men on them? Like I have several pieces of art depicting Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Kim IL Sung (the GOAT), but while I love those guys, I'd like a little gender diversity
Frida Kahlo?
Ooh, that's a good idea
i'm a cool poster and not a man :)
Ayyyyyyyyy finger guns
Nathan Fielder is killing it on the new season of The Rehearsal that audition is diabolical I can't understand how you can do something so evil and still make a great show at the same time
