Don't answer the question then, fine, but stop challenging me about it if you don't have a response...

I wasn't aware that the hexbear news megathread was a funeral for Nasrallah. Honestly this is just odd.

According to Kalibrated_Maps, Vuhledar is pretty much completely captured, Toretsk is completely under siege, but not much change in Kursk

You're comparing socialist revolutionaries to non-socialist revolutionaries and in any case it took decades for the Pan-African revolution to recover, which is pretty much my point that this is a loss and should be treated as such without being told you can't call it what it is

I suggested that the Hezbollah leadership had all been killed and was challenged on it. Is it true or is it not? Are all of the people in that image dead, yes or no? If yes, stop challenging me about whether or not the Hezbollah leadership was killed. They're either dead or they aren't.

What they're facing now is already the evisceration of Lebanon... Honestly I don't see how escalation could be worse. Gaza might as well have been nuked; look at the satellite images. There's nothing left. It's awful.

Thank you, I appreciate your honesty. I'm not trying to troll and I'm genuinely against Zionazism, I'm just a little frustrated that when someone says something critical of Iran on this website they get lambasted. Iran is not even a socialist country.

The person I tagged in particular was giving me a really hard time about it, and not constructively.

You're still doing it- why am I not allowed to point this out? It's a problem and downplaying it isn't a healthy mindset. If socialism is to be scientific it must be a truth-seeking enterprise and must continually improve its knowledge base. Socialists should learn from the failure of the axis of resistance to better future resistance efforts. Now is the time to analyze what went wrong and what could have been done better. I posit that Iran holding back was a huge mistake and it enabled Israel to do what it has done.

It's not a 'gotcha' it's literally what has happened and we should be allowed to point it out without being shouted down. That's my whole point. The News megathread should be a place where criticism is allowed.

Sorry but why does anyone care what celebrity singers think anyway? Celebrities are tools crafted to keep Americans docile and sell magazines. Like did people really think Taylor Swift would openly support Palestine? Please, for the love of god, never give any money to celebrities.

Yes I know that Cuba, the DPRK, and China have their own distros, but they're pretty specific to the language and networks of those countries. I use linux because it's free and open source but I use one of those distros that is privately owned and I'm thinking of upgrading to something that is truly communally owned but also has good compatibility with software, especially scientific software. Any good recs please? Thanks!

Would massively appreciate it. Thanks.
Hi. I'm alienated, living in the imperialist core, I have no political representation, and none of my friends are communists. Except from this website I feel extremely isolated. How are the rest of you faring?
Over 1 million Red Army soldiers gave their lives for you to rid the world of nazism in 1942/3. Never, ever forget their sacrifice.
Tories are obviously fucked but labour are the new tories. I don't believe in bourgeois electoralism so I'm inclined not to vote at all but would also like to spoil the tories and labour from winning in my constituency. To that end, I'm torn between Green (libs with good climate policies, left of labour but pro-Israel-existence) and Workers Party GB (economically socialist with weird-to-concerning opinions on LGBT+)**. Discuss. ** Workers Party leader Galloway in an interview with Novara media has said he believes all LGBT+ people should be treated with dignity and respect and that he has had many gay and one trans colleague (and used their preferred pronouns) but he has boomerish ideas about what should and should not be taught to children in schools and which changing rooms people should use. It's not great but could be worse I guess.
It's like someone asked ChatGPT to turn the book into a dumb anglo sitcom. -Every character is emotionally immature, spiteful, and sassy. None of the 'friends' act like friends. None of the characters talk like real people. They're constantly insulting or hitting each other. It's just embarrassing. The actors have nothing to work with. -All the major twists/reveals are shown in the first two episodes. No suspense, no build-up, no pay-off. Rushed is an understatement. -Single characters from the book have been unnecessarily split into multiple new characters adding nothing to the story. -The story is a cosmic horror but comedy and romance have been forced in for no reason whatsoever except as filler, which is even more mind-boggling because they've essentially rushed all of the good stuff in the book to make room for unfunny jokes. -Apparently they could barely afford any sets and extras, so scenes and locations that are supposed to be bristling with sights and people just feel oddly empty. Even the special effects feel muted. The budget is just weirdly limited, and the show looks much cheaper than the Tencent series. -Almost all of the science (which is the interesting stuff) has been gutted from this science fiction. I hate anglo slop. Where is the kino. Tencent pls adapt The Dark Forest.

I know of a few academic journals that review and publish articles on Marxism and Socialism but all of them seem to be run by Trots and are extremely hostile to Marxism-Leninism, Stalinism, and AES countries like China, Viet Nam, and (formerly) the Soviet Union. Are there any academic journals that are pro-Lenin/Soviet and pro-AES? I would like to read such articles and possibly contribute myself. Obviously there are sites like this one but I'm looking specifically for a scholarly journal, e.g. with peer-review or at least something more formal than a forum. Thanks in advance.
The Barbies pokemon-go to the polls and vote out the Kens. It's mind-numbingly stupid. Remember how that strategy went in 2016? It doesn't deserve the awards.
I'm looking for serious replies only, please. I have a friend whose family 'escaped' from East Germany and moved to the US during the Cold War. My friend's opposition to socialism seems to be almost exclusively based upon this idea that their poor family had to 'run from evil communists'. This person either doesn't know or won't tell me what their family was up to in Germany from 1930-1945. I suspect they were nazis and were not 'escaping' socialism but hiding their participation in war crimes by moving to a country that would not persecute them for killing civilians etc. I know their grandfather's name (who was just a boy when his parents forcibly moved them all to the US). How would I go about proving my hypothesis that they were nazis? Are their databases with the names of nazi party members and so on? Any advice and guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks.
