instead of the marjane satrapi quote you can use this one 😊
To: ... all the heroes of the masses who, martyred under torture, or facing murder squads, raised the red flag of their cause, ... all those dedicated revolutionaries, who died fighting the enemy of the people, and watered the tree of our people's liberating revolution, ... all the political prisoners whose resistance and fortitude strengthen the people's front, and to all those warriors of the masses, who have joined the path to people's liberation ... the path of revolution. Iran, my land, Look how the ugly hyenas plough clots of blood into your rich soil. Look how the clear water from your depths is sucked into the sewage that is imperialism. But Iran, my land, I vow, I vow to answer the silence of your night with the clamour of bullets; the darkness of your night with the flame of bullets; the cold of your night with the warmth of bullets. And I vow As long as there is one drop of blood in my veins, I will not let your flag fall, I will not let your people bow I will not let your enemies sleep.

coding got me saying shit like “target the child” “assign its class” “override its inheritance” like the third wife of a dying oil baron discovering his of-age son born out of wedlock
Never ask a man his wage, a woman her age, marjane satrapi what her thoughts on israel were
This might be a stupid question but what do you think about the compatibility of Marxism and human rights?
(asked April 9)
This ask I answered recently contains a good amount of my views on the subject at present:

I don't think Marxism is incompatible with human rights in general, but rather I think human rights should be viewed as having a class component. The liberal view is to cast human rights as universal and transhistorical, as ideals that a nation can be more or less aligned with, more or less capable of achieving, but as ultimately unchanging. The historical materialist view, on the other hand, says no, material conditions do not just determine whether or not a nation can achieve certain human rights, but which human rights are necessary in the first place.
The liberal, for instance, might argue that the right to private property is a necessary and inalienable human right, and that restrictions on property constitute a violation of human rights. The Marxist, on the other hand, would argue that while private property may be a necessary right under capitalism, the advancements of socialism supersede that necessity and effect a change in human rights as a result: a right to private property is superseded by a right to collective property, something that would be unachievable under capitalism but becomes achievable under socialism.
Moreover, there is often a liberal emphasis on "equality": while individuals might be unequal in certain respects, they should equally be granted protections via human rights. The liberal would argue that while bourgeois states have not always protected political freedoms for everyone equally, that this doesn't erase the need for those political freedoms, and that the failure of bourgeois nations to meet human rights ideals does not justify the abridging of political freedoms by socialist nations. The Marxist, on the other hand, would argue that the abridging of political freedoms by bourgeois nations is not a failure on their part to meet human rights ideals but in fact a necessary component of the class character of any state; bourgeois nations abridge political freedoms when necessary to protect bourgeois interests, and even when those freedoms are not overtly abridged, bourgeois control over the media and political apparatus ensures that proletarian political activity does not exceed certain limits. Until classes are abolished, states will inevitably restrict freedoms in accordance with their class character.
Ultimately, I would argue that the Marxist position on human rights is that human rights cannot be viewed as transhistorical or class-agnostic, but must be viewed as an evolving legal framework dependent on material conditions, and that the Western liberal universalization of human rights exists as a means of weaponizing human rights claims against nations that stand in the way of Western imperialism.
My little nephew is dying. I will never forgive anyone who ignores this.
Please, we urgently need 700 euros for my nephew's emergency surgery. 💔 His health has deteriorated drastically; he is now in a coma and unconscious, and he is suffering greatly. Time is running out, and every moment is crucial for him.
My nephew is his parents' only child. He lost his father in this genocide in the Gaza Strip and suffered many traumas in this war. Please don't leave him alone. Donate for his operation. Please donate, donate! 💔😭
Donate here - PayPal - Vetted#642
20 euros have been raised out of the 700 euros needed. He still needs 680 euros for his nephew's surgery urgently before anything bad happens to him. Donate, donate, save a child's life!
If anything bad happens to me or I lose contact with you, please remember that I begged you to donate, even a small amount, or to share my post. I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and doesn't support me with a single word or a small donation, and ignores me.
Guys, someone donated 10 euros, but we still need 670 euros for my nephew's urgent surgery. Please don't let me lose hope. My hope is in you. Save us! Save my nephew before he dies! Please donate! Donate! Don't ignore me! I'm begging you! Donate! 😭😭💔
you can kill the post but you cant kill the idea (irl friend just showed me my california post made it to reddit)

Tanya, a survivor from the strike on the pedagogical institute's college dormitory in Starobelsk, recounts how she had to dig herself out of the rubble. - via Donbass News.
Video Description:
A young woman with dark hair and a violet floral-print top is being interviewed in a hospital room, her face and what of shown of her upper body are covered in small bruises, and arm is bandaged up.
Her words are transcribed in English-translated subtitles, the subtitles read:
“I'm the kind of person who counts on herself. Like, if you don't do it yourself, there's no guarantee someone else will. I was shouting: "Help me, save me!" On one hand, I thought it wasn't real, like a dream, not reality. Then I got myself together and realized I have to save myself. I was covered in debris. I was conscious. I remember I got hit by stones a bit, my hair was pinned down, and some small pieces of plaster got onto my face. So I started digging myself out, because I had one hand free. I started freeing myself. Then, when I got free, I felt something in my arm. I looked and found a wood splinter. I pulled it out. It was dark, no light.
Most of my groupmates died. Almost everyone who lived in the dormitory.”
Transcript end.
““Let us free Ireland,” says the patriot who won’t touch Socialism. Let us all join together and crush the brutal Saxon. Let us all join together, says he, all classes and creeds. And, says the town worker, after we have crushed the Saxon and freed Ireland, what will we do? Oh, then you can go back to your slums, same as before. Whoop it up for liberty! And, says the agricultural workers, after we have freed Ireland, what then? Oh, then you can go scraping around for the landlord’s rent or the money-lenders’ interest same as before. Whoop it up for liberty! After Ireland is free, says the patriot who won’t touch socialism, we will protect all classes, and if you won’t pay your rent you will be evicted same as now. But the evicting party, under command of the sheriff, will wear green uniforms and the Harp without the Crown, and the warrant turning you out on the roadside will be stamped with the arms of the Irish Republic. Now, isn’t that worth fighting for? And when you cannot find employment, and, giving up the struggle of life in despair, enter the poorhouse, the band of the nearest regiment of the Irish army will escort you to the poorhouse door to the tune of St. Patrick’s Day. Oh! It will be nice to live in those days! “With the Green Flag floating o’er us” and an ever-increasing army of unemployed workers walking about under the Green Flag, wishing they had something to eat. Same as now! Whoop it up for liberty!”
— James Connolly, Let Us Free Ireland! (1899)
“If you remove the English army to-morrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle, unless you set about the organisation of the Socialist Republic your efforts would be in vain. England would still rule you. She would rule you through her capitalists, through her landlords, through her financiers, through the whole array of commercial and individualist institutions she has planted in this country and watered with the tears of our mothers and the blood of our martyrs.”
— James Connolly, Socialism and Nationalism (1897)

what?
"Free Tibet! I'm Woke! Free Tibet! Let Them Have The Right To Enslave Serfs again!"
so true bestie. When we do imperialism its actually good and wholesome because we bring them freedom and progress and industry and enlightenment. These have never been used as justification for colonial projects right?
Critical support for comrade benjamin harrison for freeing Hawaii from the oppressive feudal monarchy there, true anti-imperialist hero.
Here you go.
Educate yourself, it’s actually fun learning new things.
Hawaii and Tibet could not be more opposite. In the former, we have a sovereign nation invaded by foreign powers and seized, with dramatic decreases in literacy and increases in poverty for the indigenous population afterwards. In the latter, we have an integrated vassal of a former feudal empire, whose local nobility when threatened by revolution and democratization tried and failed to secede because their own serfs rose up against them, resulting in massive increases in their quality of life.
The entire "free Tibet" movement is a Western campaign to try and impose feudal rulers on a population that does not want them for the purpose of undermining the Communist Party of China. If the Dalai Lama had his way, the people of Tibet would become less free than they are now.
