WHAAAAAAAT. Okay that's wild, especially considering that I had originally put just Irish but changed it to scots-irish because I thought I was leaving them out 😭 😭 . Please do tell more, and why there's a distinction.

  1. Yeah fair enough with the exceptionalist attitude. I think its less intentionally to be "The One" trope as more its myself making sure I actually try to move radicaliztion along in a critical moment of change for the Empire, instead of just keeping it to myself and withering away. I think the attitude stems more from my whimsical imagination than my actual beliefs. Just weird to think about lol. As for being radicalized, of course material conditions with being dissatisfied and interested in history/politics, but what are those conditions in particular? Tons of western leftists have similar interests, but many have stayed on their pro western side, Anti-AES and Pro-NATO. Its seems to be a right time right place for us, but we need to figure out what was exactly behind that setting which allowed us peel back another layer of ignorance and to be able to create a similar situation for other comrades.

Okay so I may have accidentally fallen into an HTML rabbit hole and totally forgot to respond to y'all. Don't know if you guys will see this. With this coding I realize I'm becoming my father and it's weirdly cathartic. I feel like this may be copy-pasta at the begging of every developer's journey. May or may not be a cult, but I'm drinking the open source Kool-Aid to the bottom of the glass.

Isn't that way more expensive?

I think you answered your question there

 

I've been very curious about it, and I believe there is no better way than to ask you computer geniuses for information.

Thanks ComradeSalad for letting us know the ingredients to napalm so we can watch out for accidental mixtures 🤗

Has to be Mario Sunshine (Via Wii) , Mario Galaxy, Kirby's Epic Yarn, or really any Wii game my grandma got us. I still tear up just by hearing the main menu ambience. Mario Sunshine was wild, cause I never really played it as a kid, but my dad did and the imprint was still nostalgic so when I did play it a few years ago in that definitely a scam Mario 3D Allstars it scratched an itch of nostalgia and new experience.

You know that would explain Ronald McDonald as the mascot of McDonalds

I'm so happy I saw Life of Brian after I had experienced leftist discourse firsthand, otherwise it would have all gone over my head.

Did they photoshop someone else's hair on??? I mean totally not the focal point of the story, maybe because we are numb to cops being bastards, but the hair is VERY weird.

Whew, good to know my middle aged parents, pansexual partner, enby friends, and centrist peers are free from Russian Bot infiltration.

Also "Impersonate black and white... Americans", is that the extent of their concept of race and ethnicity? I know this a good 99% to be AI generated, but come on...

To be honest I am pretty put off that they discredit some of the biggest strides in decolonization, and I think it stems from a lack of class analysis. Why do they see exploitation of the land for the good of all as settler colonialism?

From what I have garnered so far, settler colonialism is based on hierarchy of "national classes" (for lack of a better word). Nations have a class of proles and bourgeoisie, when in a settler colonial state the bourgeoisie give a their proletarian cultural group a priority and kickbacks for settling hence the bourgeois position. So the settler proles and oppressed proles hold contradicting positions, as long as the settler proles hold a bourgeois position.

We have seen settlers and indigenous nations work together to overthrow colonialism, in the USSR, China, Cuba and even with bourgeois democratic states in LatAm. Why is this? I believe it is because the class of settlers have been proletarianized enough to align with the oppressed and synthesize into a new state. Russians, Han Chinese, and Spaniards under the boot of Imperialsm had proletarian positions, and thus could synthesize with any oppressed nationalities With DOTPs specifically we see the first blow to settler colonialism, the elimination of the bourgeoisie as an oppressing class and thus the need for nations in the first place has started crumbling.

Sadly Tuck and Yang's Liberalism holds them back from a class analysis, but their own class interests allow them to address settler colonialism. At the moment, they ARE right in saying that the most progressive way to decolonize the US is putting land back in Indigenous hands (proletarian hands). This is because as long as US Imperialism exists (as it does now) the Euro Americans hold a bourgeois and counter revolutionary position. (keep in mind this is not an exact science, and anglos are being proletarianized more and more each day. Hell I am a white settler and I am living barely on paycheck to paycheck).

What happens is the Indigenous revolutionary kernel is much more developed compared to the Settler revolutionary kernel. Thus the indigenous people hold a vanguard position, as any indigenous population has always had across history. Only when settler's kernel is developed enough can it synthesize with the oppressed nations into a DOTP. And you can see indigenous leaders for decolonization even without a class analysis advocate for this synthesis. The more settlers work together with the oppressed nations, the less it will be solely indigenous but until that happens it holds an indigenous character (if that makes sense)

This was recommended to me via the same channel where I am watching a doc about Mountain Dialect. Nothing explicitly special, but it's nice to put faces and real human connection to the struggle.

Also these videos have been making me realize just how much of classism against rednecks and hillbillies is left over from anti Celtic sentiment. (but that's more of a sidenote)

EDIT: Spelling

 

I am having issues finding a pdf that doesn't have me sign up for a pdf library membership, do y'all have one? Are these memberships safe?

 

I don't really have a name or genre but it's certain games like 40K, Fallout, Civ/HoI/all the other ones.

Am I the only one to notice these weird trends of political distribution? Is it just me?

 

Chrome lists prolewiki as a dangerous website... Lmao

No but is this anything to worry about that isn't google trying to avert us from radicalization?

 

Okay so I was scrolling through the PSL's info page, and it is stated that they are to denuclearize the power grid. Why is this? I was under the impression that Nuclear Energy is the much more sustainable and frankly realistic source of power--even without Molten Salt Reactors and Thorium based ones.

 Im finding it most orgs tend to stay away from Nuclear energy due to fear mongering from fossil fuel industries; Thus its stain in the imperial core, reaching from liberals to western "leftists". But I am surprised the PSL, a radical organization, is anti-nuclear.

   FYI this isn't a deal breaker or anything--they seem to be taking the lead for vanguard party--just was curious of the stance on nuclear energy.
 

My mom bought this random from a sale at the library for a buck. As it turns out, it's a Marxist work, at least it seems like it. Started off in the Foreword quoting Marx, and talks of the bourgeoisie pushing for railway due to the Corn Tax and efficiency. And now there's a Railroad community. all in like 3 days what's the odds? Just wanted to share, the book's pretty good so far.

 

As you have all noticed, this seems to be a point of contention here. This is a good thing, since it means someone will learn something.

Now we seem to be all over the place, with this general area of thought, provoking many questions. Whether or not PatSocs are socially conservative, what is position on social conservatism? Many of us are very young, both in age and ML experience, so an online discussion would be a great learning tool.

  1. Are socially conservative individuals allowed to be apart of the leftist movement?
  • A. Are socially conservative individuals victims of bourgeois propaganda?

-B. If socially conservative people are turned away by the left, where do they go?

-C. How high of a position would a social conservative be allowed in a ML party?

-D. How has or will MLs educate socially conservative folk?

-E. &tc, &tc.

  1. What exactly is Patriotism?

-A. Does patriotism depend on culture?

-B Is possible for a distinction between patriotism for a country and wanting to abolish the state?

-C. Is patriotism corrupted in the Core?

-D How have post imperialist countries with Communist experiments built patriotism?

-E. &Tc &TC

  1. Who even are the PatSocs?

-A. If the label is too convuluted, should we make a distinction between Maupin and American exceptionalists?

-B. Who of the leaders do we consider MLs?

-C. Should patriotic socialist be distinct from socialism or is inherent in socialism?

-D. How much do WE even know if PatSocs?

-E. &Tc, &tc

We can look at the USSR and GDR for these questions. Remember the Hammer and Sickel came from somewhere.

Things to look out for about the US:

-It is the imperialist power, AND a settler state.

-Low levels of cultural development

-The culture that is there is taken from marginalized groups.

-Americas are the most propagandized people in the World.

-It is huge and incredibly diverse

More questions about the US could follow:

-Should the US be balkanized? If so how does patriotism be built in balkanized regions?

-How does land back go about? Will indigenous countries emerge, and if so should we reconsider American MLs as different MLs for the Regions in North America.

-If we see different nations and regions in North America how does that affect culture? Is the question of how we view the land a prerequisite to discussing patriotism, is it contradictory to call yourself an American Patriot if you decide to divide up the land until regions?

There is so much potential for deep political for North American based Comrades, this is a rabbit hole I do want to delve into. I'll cross post this to GZD but I want it mainly on Leftist Infighting.

Edit: spacing issues

 

I believe for my own sanity and worth while that I'll restrict myself to occasional Club Hub posts. I really have not had a break in a while, but I still do believe there to be an importance of this Community. I will probably do a Newsletter sort of thing that will consolidate my thoughts about communities. Have a good one!

 

I have been really into the aspect of growing potatoes in buckets for multiple reasons: For one it seems cheap enough; Secondly the nature of being able to have buckets as a mobilized garden could be great in so many areas. Don’t have the time or energy to cultivate your soil? Bucket. Live in the city surrounded by pavement? Bucket. Are you a renter who can’t grow plants or you don’t even know if you can live there next month, so investing in gardening would be pointless? Bucket. Ever accidentally killed a prominent figure, so you spend your life on the run, moving from country to country never knowing the simple life you once lived but still want to follow your childhood dream of gardening? Bucket.

It seems to be that for one pound of potatoes, you’ll get 7 lbs back. It being a root plant, watch its moisture. Cut a chived(?) potato in half and put charcoal on the wound so it doesn’t rot. What’s y’alls take on this.

I was supposed to get the ball rolling yesterday for this to happen today but my life just took a slam to the face, so from comrade to comrade understand me here.

From today to tomorrow, I would like to see what each of us making a post on TRG would do for its content flow, for the next week or so. It has been stagnant for the past week so I'm hoping if we can get it leaking out just a little bit, consistently, that it would help. Oh yeah, here's thelink
