Greece elected 6 communist mayors, maybe there's hope after all

I've read The State and Revolution, the book by Parenti and documentary look great, thanks!
I guess I skipped a few years but I also was a liberal before and slowly but surely went full ML
This fucking war has enraged me to no end.
So much sensationalism that ends up being straight from someones ass, yet NO ONE bothers to cross check it, or even focus on anything else about the situation that led to the war.
And when they are proved as false, still NO ONE cares anymore.
People should be ashamed for falling for all this too
I love how steam reviews write the political content off as commie propaganda when the guy who wrote the thing literally lived in a communist country and has no tie to the government in order to have a reason to spread propaganda.
Libs just get in pure denial when they're presented with the idea that there is in fact something better than the current system.
One of my favourite videos is one MMA fighter challenging a neo nazi troll on Twitter to a cage fight and he accepts. He comes in all proud looking, explaining his beliefs to the camera. Then the fight happens, and he gets his absolute ass kicked with everyone cheering on the background. He gets to speak to the camera again, and now he suddenly had a change of mind and says he understands that what he said was wrong, he was being calm and it actually seemed as if he geniuenly changed his mind.
These people have nothing to stand for, they just believe whomever beats their ass the hardest
Is disco elysium good? I've thought about playing it
They want to pretend that communism and non western societies are frozen in time, never to evolve past reactionary sentiment as if the west has.
Great point
I'm imagining my gf and crying reading this, fuck this cruel world
So is free speech a right or not? Is it only a right when fascists invoke it?
Lol that's awesome
This is one of the major things that, paradoxically enough, give me hope.
Climate change can't and won't stop until we fix our fucked up societies first. Maybe that existential pressure forces us to. On the other hand, it could also lead to fascism and unseen before misery. I hope people wake up before it's too late.
This is such an effective propaganda trick, it strikes people right where they're most vulnerable, in their hearts, by showing someone you could fall in love with killed in a war that naturally takes lives and commits attrocities in both sides. We all have simple monkey brains at the end of the day, and that can be very easily exploited by those with power.
History never ends, eventually I believe and hope that people will look back at us in wonder of our stupidity, and the few of the few of us that get to be remembered in history will be finally recognised as beyond their time, just like we think of the Greek philosophers today.
Take care and keep a glimpse of hope, it's all we've got
I feel you, I just accept that it's tough to break the mindwashing and that they're still good people at heart, just confused and uninformed
Its physically painful that most people think like this. Then they point fingers and say that other countries use propaganda and their citizens are clueless about reality.
I think they're good books, it's just that they're again and again referred to as "proof that communism was horrible" by people who have not the slightest clue how communism actually was besides what the western governments tell them about it
They hate violence by any means but they'll gladly support military support against the Palestinians. Absolutely zero thinking and logic
It's funny how libs turn into world peace fighting historians overnight completely ignoring what has been happening for years without them knowing or caring
Nah these weren't decapitated so it's fair game
