Hands of dirt; bruised and bloodied// The hands of the masses rise// The hands of the masses are raised with absolute defiance// The hands of the masses rise// The hands of the masses are raised with absolute power// The hands of the masses rise, they rise higher// The hands of the masses shape history// The hands of the masses become fists of freedom!// Rise! Rise! Rise!// Rise for liberation! Rise for humanity! Rise for peace!// Rise! Rise! Rise!//

The song of Africa creates waves!// The song of Africa crumbles the monuments of old!// The song of Africa conquers the mountains!// The song of Africa cannot be made still!//

We are all one, united by destiny// The divisions of today shall dissolve// The imperialists will face the tyranny// The capitalists will face the tyranny// The tyranny of justice comes to thee// Liberation and freedom awaits us all// And a red star is rising// Sounding the call!// The call of the chained guardians// The call of the chained children// The call of the poor// The call of the hungry// The call of the forgotten// And a red star is rising// Uniting us all!//

May the countless others who gave their lives soon cry together// Arm in arm// As the red berets forge the path// As the red berets bolster our hearts// Let the land be reclaimed// Let justice be seen// Let the prosperity be abundant// Let democracy be true// Let the people be joyous// Let life be cherished//
Let Africa be// The love of the people will claim victory//

This is the century of the oppressed!// This is the century in which we will achieve freedom!//

Workers of the world unite!// A red star rises!// Rise! Rise! Rise!// Raise your fists! Raise your spirits!// The struggle continues and cannot end!// Workers of the world unite!//

-by me, August Gardens

Thanks to the new Zelda game, I am getting back into loving video games and making time for them. I'm playing Ocarina of Time atm :)

Also, I've been reading The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky. So far, really nice, but not anywhere close to the end yet. Same goes for Moby Dick by Herman Melville (the racism gets unbearable though). And then, I've been starting my journey with Nietzsche, I chose Ecce Homo to begin with.

Lastly, some music! The new Lana del Rey and Danny Brown x Jpegmafia albums have been on repeat. Been getting into the group "Lamp" as well. Bad Bunny released a song a few days ago and I've been absolutely addicted to it too.

Hope my beautiful comrades have been well, love you all! Remember to take care of yourselves and your circle.

"BUT WHERE IS THE GUBBERMENT DOING STUFF????"

I'm not sure if China "owns" the infrastructure they invest in, but they do make deals. "We give you x and you give y."

The difference between majority Chinese investments vs. majority Western investments is the fairness and impact of the deals. Whereas majority Chinese investments genuinely help develop their partners on fair terms, majority Western investments purposefully underdevelop their partners and create dependency.

Investments can be good, they can be bad; unfortunately some can't imagine it being good and immediately attack it.

I struggle to see a boy when I look in the mirror now. :)

What gives this more importance is that I'm still pre-hrt and I can't do makeup. I'm proud of myself for getting to a point where I can LIKE myself, and when I start hrt and whatever I'll LOVE myself.

We are winning <3 I hope nothing but the best for all my trans siblings, good luck and stay safe. Remember to take care of yourselves, it helps in the long run.

I saw someone say it was some discussion about Huawei but I'm unsure

105 years of global socialist revolution and socialism has accomplished so much. Imagine what the next 100 holds!

When you look at the state the USSR or China was in pre-revolution, it's truly astonishing what they accomplished. No matter how terrible things get, socialism will always shine. The DPRK always gives me hope. They've been through so much shit and continue to go through a lot, but they manage to stay strong and progress at their own pace.

We're on the side of the oppressed. We're on the side of humanity's success.

Edit: when someone calls you utopian or insane, just remember "if they could do it, we can do it."

"Sorry about killing like a 100 million of your people, but I made this cool rock thing tho! We all good? Right? No hard feelings?"

 

How do you combat dysphoria in order to be yourself? I find myself struggling to dress the way I want to, love the way I want to, and even try makeup because I constantly get a sudden overflow of dysphoria. I can do things for an hour at most until I feel completely shattered. I struggle to combat internalised transphobia too.

Idk, I just feel so stuck and alone in this battle to liberate myself sometimes. I know I have so much potential but my dysphoria shuts me down completely.

There's also some dysmorphia that may be at play. Not being able to really know what I look like fucks with me to an immense level.

Did people create their own businesses within the USSR? How did they have to work inside the planned economy?

This is by far the worst creation I've seen on the internet
