I think you’re overthinking this. Literally just say “I’m a communist”, that’s gonna weed out pretty much everyone you wouldn’t want to get with anyway.

(Just a clarification comrade - and I could be wrong, I’m doing this from memory - but I think the 100 million number is genocide across all of the western hemisphere from 1492. The figure I’ve seen for just what was contained the present USA is around 10 million. Doesn’t make it any less evil of course, death to America, but just wanted to clarify that for posterity)
Exactly. We should not take this at face value.
I attended a Christian university in the early 00s. Obviously not a representative sample size but guys around me used the f-word slur like it was going out of style. And while a bunch of white Christian college guys are gonna use that word a lot more, it’s use was still fairly common among other people I knew.
If you are actually interested in learning about the event and you are skeptical if this book, then you should look at Qiao Collective’s reading list: https://www.qiaocollective.com/education/tiananmenreadinglist
One more, because I don’t think anyone else posted it, is Qiao Collective’s reading list on the e event. It’s a lot of reading but the sources are pretty good: https://www.qiaocollective.com/education/tiananmenreadinglist
His interview with Steve Grumbine on the Macro & Cheese podcast is excellent. I think his own podcast is unfocused and meandering as other people have said but I do think he understands theory pretty well. I think he would do a lot better with a different format i.e. a podcast with 1 or 2 other hosts he has good chemistry with.
Mostly correct but I want to point that China does depend on the US for food. I mean I’m sure it’s something the CPC thinks about a lot and I assume they have a plan to reduce dependency but at the moment they import quite a bit of food from the US.
I’m not used to the federation thing yet, I saw this comment and assumed sarcasm, forgot there were dipshits out there that actually think this and that Adrian Zenz is a “reliable source”.
What sense of community do most churches promote?
A lot of churches offer a sort of “community in a community”. For example, if you are a reactionary, white, married couple (ideally with kids), some evangelical churches can plug you right in to a group of like 5-10 other couples who are basically identical to you. And if you’re in that demographic, doing social things only with people pretty much just like you is what you are looking for.
I am on a quest to find the best Marx biography myself. Haven’t found it yet, seems like there isn’t one definitive one out there. Michael Heinrich has apparently written a great one but he’s only done one of three volumes (or the others haven’t been translated into English yet, I don’t remember).
I’ve tried. At this point it’s almost a phobia, it’s not a rational fear so I can reason her out of it.
As an aside, I’m sitting with my dad right now. He has CNBC on and they’re talking about the new unemployment numbers and their expectations for the economy. I have a background in finance so I understand what they’re talking about. But since I’m a Marxist, it’s a bit like being an atheist and walking into a Pentecostal Sunday service where they’re talking about some literal interpretation of the Book of Revelation and then they start speaking in tongues. It’s all just so ridiculous.
Glad you’re here! And fuck those sinophobic reddit nerds.
It’s the Wall Street Journal, for one.
But also, these rags all are pay-to-play in some form or another. The quirky libertarian woman opinion writer type (popularized by McArdle, but I’ve seen others) absolutely has Koch brothers / think tank money behind them.
I worked at a family-owned frozen yogurt shop that gave me my best lesson in microeconomics and the costs of excessive regulation
I would love for her to go into detail into what she means by this. Small businesses face basically zero regulation anyway in the US. She must mean “I thought everyone else should have been happy to make only $3 an hour” or something like that.
The refugee town in Children of Men sounds more humane than this setup.
Federation has been great for me developing better internet habits. Since every other post is directly or indirectly about federation, I spend less time scrolling though this site. Which is good, I’m still here quite a bit I really needed to cut back.
