Hadn’t had troubles with TSA so far, if it helps

Nothing surprising. Has been the trend for a while

i liked it. i would recommend if you like theme of banality of evil; definitely watch it with headphones or good audio set up

Donetsk and Luhansk are Russian oblasts since 2022

Unreal that there is still no action from universities. How can they not see that its going to keep escalating

Lemmygrad makes a new party, too bad it will be late for EU elections

Will be there as well

Students around Belgium are starting to occupy campuses this week. Hopefully it goes well

Yes. I would say that in the 1980s there was already an understanding formed about the IMF’s role in neo-colonial exploitation and also just considering the fact that the US is its most powerful member.

im going to the ptb event in brussels

very hyped for labour day

How shitty are the two parties bigger than you?

Very. Those are both reactionary/nationalist parties

Yeah I totally got that vibe as well

Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism, defined by the dominance of finance capital (over industrial capital) and its export from the imperial core to the periphery.

Neo-colonialism is a specific case of a relationship between an imperial core country and a periphery country, where the periphery country is nominally independent, and the imperial core country uses indirect means of intimidation (instead of direct colonial rule). I would also note that the terms neo-colonialism and colonialism center the colony/periphery, while imperialism centers the imperialist state. So it is still the same phenomenon, the terms just focus on different parts of the relationship.

Maybe some texts on Black Liberation in US? From the BPP or Angela Davis for instance.

Tactical urbanism would be getting together and building benches for those bus stops no cross walks in my neighborhood, we could fix that

Problem is that a lot of the times this is illegal. Those benches could be removed or worse there could be consequences for those who install it. Not saying you shouldn’t do this, but just saying that there is usually a lot of resistance even to simple projects like that.

communists tend to be more educated than average, we could be helping people get their GEDs, holding classes funded and organized by the party, this appeals directly to the masses, you help someone get their GED? You’ll have a loyal comrade.

Our party’s student wing does that. It’s a really good effort.

Also agreed with Grain Eater that I wouldn’t call them anarchist tactics.

All the parks really. Muzeon and Gorky are my favs and you could spend a whole day there, lots of places to relax, to see the museums or to have a meal. Vorob’yevy Gory is also really nice, but it’s a bit of a hike because of the hills. GES-2 is an excellent museum and has a cool design because its built inside of an old power station.

I find it to be my favorite of the fundamentals! Super applicable to modern day

I like reading or arts, talking to people about reading and arts.
