CrΓtical support to Spain for preventing England winning
Whoever edited/translated this Penguin Classics edition of The State and Revolution is such a turbo-lib, my god. This preface started off fine as a historical context and introduction to what Lenin and the bolsheviks were up to prior to the October revolution but after that it completely falls apart into really blatant revisionism and hard-boiled anti-authoritarian snark that Iβve come to expect from only the most blue-checked among us. I think this is what will get me to skip all these introductory editorials from now onβ¦
This is exactly what happened to me with the spanish version of "The State and Revolution". A turbo lib did the preface and it was full with anticommunism. I wonder why bother doing a preface then.
Lol I started listening to the audible version of the Spanish translation of capital and returned it within about half an hour. I thought the whole thing had been rewritten. Maybe it was only the editor's intro after all.
This preface is seriously like almost a third of the total length of the text. I subjected myself to way too much of it hoping it would get better before just skipping it. I think all the explicitly Marxist texts have something like this going on; never once did I see stuff like this in Proudhon or Kropotkin.
Simple. These are warnings for libs. In the unlikely event a lib picks up State and Revolution, they'll be armed in advance with all the usual thought terminating cliches.
As my wife says, thereβs a reason they put it in the beginning and not after everything else!
Really funny seeing the in-fighting between the "civility and democracy" libs and the "trump is the worst thing since Hitler" libs right now.
Do you condemn Azov tho
And Right Sektor?
what about this book? any thoughts
βTyranny of the Minorityβ
Who's the author?
Sounds like a libertarian screed
My parents found a lil birb
I found a little crab on my window yesterday. I live on a second floor, somewhat near the sea. I still don't know how he got up here. I put him inside an old red lunchbox and freed him near some trees.
The birb is the word
Just got done writing a short essay that sums up a bit about Zionism, the short history of Israel, pinkwashing and western imperialism. I did not say "another kkkracka down" or "death to america", I did not say "workers of the world unite" or yell about pro-Hamas stuff, I basically kept it to the most digestible facts about the atrocities the Zionist entity has inflicted upon the people of Palestine and why all violence against Israel is self defense.
My dad asked me "now why would gays support gaza? can you tell me that?" He has fucked around and is going to learn about finding out.
Thank for not saying that, I know it took restraint
looks at a destroyed city in Gaza and thousands of dead children
"but what if you were gay in Gaza"- a person who doesn't care about gay people outside of this
I know right, and when confronted with facts like these, just screeches about how it's muh eebil theocratic regime or whatever. I asked him what he thinks of the church, lmao.
Great news for me: Iβm going to have a shorter life.
Everybody is too busy to talk to me, finding clubs within walking distance is impossible, I canβt just knock on a neighborβs door to ask if they want to talk, and I can speak from experience that attempting to befriend service workers is never a good idea. Iβm all set!
Lfg :/
How many times y'all think Putin has watched the clip of Biden calling him President of Ukraine?
Zero. I think he has better things to do than watch the political clown show in the US.
Thank you everyone who participated on the Lemmy Canvas Palestine flag I started this morning
The red arrow isn't quite right (I'll put the template settings under this comment)

Hot take, 3x3 basketball is a more fun sport than regular basketbal
That's not much space to move around in. I could see how it would be much more fast paced.
Today I had a funeral of someone on my gf's family side. The deceased was a very active Christian Evangelical believer and the funeral was in an Evangelical Church. I was raised a Catholic but haven't been to church for a long time.
The funeral consisted of Christian songs, prayers and bible readings. There were a lot of younger people (13-15 year olds) there. It surprised me that they all knew every prayer, reading and song front to back. Like, I couldn't imagine any Dutch youth still so active in the church. But they exist, I guess. It's the Bible Belt for a reason. Big cultural surprise, in my own country.
I'm currently on vacation in France with my family.
kill macron
Hey comrades, theres a local (to me) org RED ANT, doing an online conference on China titled China is not an enemy. Is China really an imperialist Country?, I imagine theres somewhere to share on lemmygrad, but can someone nudge me in the right direction?
If England will win the Euro's I'll stop watching football. Seeing Harry Mouthbreather Kane lift the trophy will be my death.
