The one about revolution that says, "It will come, and it will bring bread, but also poetry", is quite inspired as well. Trot had his moments, and he must be respected by his work on the revolutionary and I believe the Russian "civil" war, as a general, which he was and for what I know a competent one. It's important to remember the figure as a whole, even though he deserved every bit of the pickaxe

Just wish it could allow horizontal tabs

I must say I'm enormously relieved that tha image for the post changed(or the post changed) the other one caused me some degree of distress, but I didn't want to hide the post cause there might be some interesting stuff going on and such, but yeah this image is pretty nice

My home and nativeland, Brazil, it was built on genocide of the native people, and the enslavement of both African people and local natives

Absolutely, and I was sure of that, but man, got surprised with how much more you can do with so much less

Look that boggles the mind, like I knew capitalism was ineffective, but golly jee, this is just staggering, like the gap is monstrous, that basically mean China has the world's market by the balls and the US is downright terrified of it

Let me see if I get it straight, I have not finished the text yet but I wanna make sure that I'm understanding it right, since I don't understand business speech. But if I got it correctly it says, that those savings do not come from households, so it's either big corporations or the state itself, and they have saved just under the US and EU together, which means, china is spending less on their development, in fact significantly less, and is growing more and more stable than the west. Is that the takeaway of the first part?

Absolutely accurate

I think calling it ignorance is somewhat naïve, cause to me it is clearly a poorly disguised excuse to block the trade wirh China

wonderful work

At the US collapsing

I'd like to know how many shells they usually sell to Poland and or Slovenia, in peace times and if that number of orders went up with the war, it can be alleged that the country bought it to defend in case of the war spilling over, but at the end of the day I think it was pretty clear that the ammo would end up in Ukraine

Nice graph comrade, but I think you left India (a shade of green) south Africa(the doted line) and Mexico(the purple line) out of the legend

I see so they always write without naming the writer like that? Or military commentator is like a position that is occupied by a certain person that you can find who is?

Well at any rate if it's a state news agency it has lot of weight behind it

Yeah but who are they? what is their track record? I'm asking out of ignorance really, just wanna get the broader context of what is happening, and I have a policy to be careful with any news without an attributed source.

What is the kcna, and I've tried to read the first one and I must say it's not a well written one, it goes around in circles for much too long, and at the end there was pretty much a threat to south Korea, which I don't have much issue with, but what's strange about it is that it's said to be written by a commentator and does not mention said commentator, and that kind of threat coming from someone who is not on the military rings a bit hollow.

Found this on the wonderful work of comrade Dessalines, under socialism FAQ, can be a start, I highly encourage you to dive into wherever your interest guides you in the Dessalines page, that is a magnificent gift he brought all the community, it's a hell of a job

Yeah but that's where the danger lies, when you have nothing on a subject you are not fighting the bias of the first information, if your first information is skewed towards a reformist mindset or what have you(the kind of vibes I got from him) its harder to replace, I do believe the guy has some good sources and some commitment to being honest, and that's nice that you've got into some sources, but to realize that he drinks at least a bit from the anti revolutionary cool aid can be healthy to be watchful when the guy puts his reading of the facts on the video

AES Is actual existing socialism, usually refering to Cuba, DRPK, Laos, Vietnam and depending on who you ask China goes there too, but at the time of the events covered on the video it would absolutely be part of the AES

Edit: His reluctance of calling revisionists revisionists is quite interesting in the video, and the fact that he gives too much weight to the idea that Mao was fostering free speech to his own gain, when if you look at the whole history of the Mao's revolution he was about the power going to the people from day one. Furthermore, even by the events he himself claims, the issue of the cultural revolution was not the revolution itself, but the reaction of the revisionists against it, which show two things, the first that Mao was right to call forth such revolution, and second that the revisionists were indeed revisionists, since they believe that their vision stands above the will of the people which is absolutely anti communist.

What I got as an interesting takeaway though is the fact that intellectuals were scapegoats from both sides, an I can see it and it stands as a cautionary tale to us all, one thing that make intellectuals easy targets of the anger of the people, is the elitist stance many hold, about their degrees and Phds and such. The academic circle often stands in a marble tower as far as the people are concerned and we need to always bear that in mind, with the intent to minimize or even, if possible, erase such distance from the intellectual revolutionary and the people of which the revolution will be comprised of, when it comes to be.

I'm watching it, and there are some sus takes from the very begning, when he starts to call mao paranoid that what kruschev did would be a first step to restore capitalism, that's not paranoia, that was clear judgement. And the way he phrases some stuff are quite concerning as well, he seems to have some questionable perspectives about AES and how authoritarian things were or were not

I think the willingness should be towards learning and understanding, the movement towards joining a collective should be voluntary, we should not impose our view of what is right but build it with our comrades, the idea of pushing pressuposes some elitism we will never notice when we are wrong if we start on the point that we are right in all things
