Ever since I started commenting on Instagram posts made by a far right wannabe militia they started to seem less confident of their case. Sometimes my comments get deleted, sometimes people I reply to even delete their comment altogether. I think it goes to show that they are just cowards who can bend easily when shown a bit of competition.
Check your stories, and see who’s viewing them. I’ve done this type of thing before, and you’ll notice that you’ll have a lot of people who you don’t follow start watching your stories.
I do this with my personal account which is set to private, so nobody except my followers can see my stories. I do get lots of follow requests, though.

I want to make a Wikipedia for MLs.
As an alternative to Wikipedia.
Yes, but it’s biased against CPUSA (among other issues I have about it) and I’m afraid to edit it, even though I have a ProleWiki account, because my edits might not be approved or taken down.
Which is why I’m gathering some friends to help me make a Wikipedia alternative.
what do you mean by “biased”? Is what they are saying true or not? And if it isn’t true what exactly isn’t true about it. Have you ever written out anything to tell them what is incorrect about their position and correct about yours?
There is the Cuban https://www.ecured.cu/EcuRed:Enciclopedia_cubana There is also ProlWiki
EcuRed, right?
I know about this website.
Does it have an English version?
Also, I want to create an alternative to ProleWiki as well since it’s biased against CPUSA.
I’m asking some friends if they want to get involved.
no its only in spanish,
It’s a good thing that, as a Latino, I’m re-learning Spanish.
Regardless, I will make my own Wikipedia alternative with some friends as ProleWiki seems hostile to people like me.
I’m having my first week off of work since July and I feel like it was much needed. I’ll be making plans for my upcoming move and I will travel with my friend’s van for a few days. This weekend I spent visiting my gf’s dying grandfather in the heart of the Dutch Bible Belt. The contrast with my daily life was interesting to say they least. Yesterday I had an Easter brunch with friends and we visited a gay couple’s city garden next to a church where they planted a lot of different herbs with which they served tea. It was a lovely place.
Anyway, I feel more alive now. I hope you all have a nice week.
re reading Dialectical and Historical materialism and taking notes. Had some life issues that led me to stop reading theory for a while, but I’m back
Stalin is such a great writer
nyooooo but he made rich people sad
Back in red
3 months deep into unemployment, I feel like I’m going crazy, stuck in the house, no cash, lots of noodles and ham sandwiches. I think I’ve eaten more ham sandwiches in the last month than I have my entire life.
Been there, hope you can stick through it and make it out on top
I start a new job within the next three weeks of just getting trained up and getting licensed. My concern went from, I’m not going to be able to pay my rent, to this job is going to make me more money than I’ve ever made in my life and potentially break the cycle of poverty before me, going back as far as my family can remember. I’m kind of weighing that. It’s not like a DOD thing, I’m not contributing to that, but, you know.
There’s that idea of, am I a class traitor for making this money or trying to make this money? Which is not the goal, you know, of course. Like, I sell t-shirts online with art on them and stuff, but I wouldn’t consider myself petite bourgeoisie because I don’t own the means to produce those shirts. I mean, I make like 200 bucks a month just to help cover rent, you know. Hell I try to give away profits when I can, friends need healthcare. So, it’s just… Trying not to moralize my place as an individual within the system, I mean, I got out of tech because basically every tech company is complicit with this genocide, and even the ones that are removed Not like I worked for Raytheon or something, but still. So, just trying to not betray my own principles while paying my rent, you know.
I know communism isn’t a cult of poverty but being from.that background, and then becoming a Marxist, it can feel like it on a personal level.
Our party made a documentary called ‘Mutiny’ about how the Global South is now actively resisting The West’s policy and we have been invited to show it at Cannes Film Festival for some reason
