hate the people who romanticize scandinavia and say they love the nordic model bunch of fucking dorks

[mellalickssocialistshard]

And no one mentions how life got worse there after the USSR fell because there wasn’t a need to compete with real socialism anymore hmmm

In the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, it was very common for young communists to climb Rysy (peak in the Tatra mountains) with busts of Lenin, because he was rumored to have climbed it back in 1913.

There is no definitive proof Lenin really climbed Rysy, however it was still preserved as an annual tradition, with speeches often being given on the peak.

Even after so many decades, young Slovak communists often host an annual climb of Rysy in honor of Czechoslovak socialist traditions.

the liberal is often more dangerous than the conservative because they hide the same violence behind a mask of peace and progress. the conservative reveals the blade, while the liberal hides the hand that wields it. both serve oppression, but one does so with a smile.

Stop circlejerking about history and do praxis

comrade! i have an important message for you!

make sure you eat adequate meals today!

make sure you drink enough water to hydrate yourself properly!

make sure you take any medication you might be on!

make sure you avoid doomscrolling for hours aimlessly!

make sure you partake in a hobby you enjoy, or listen to music that makes you happy!

make sure you try to take care of your physical maintenance, like showering and brushing your teeth! (the communal toothbrush is waiting for you comrade…)

make sure you don’t spend your day in political doom and gloom!

make sure you get enough sleep tonight, whatever that means for your age range!

and above all, make sure you are looking after your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. reach out for help if you need it, and never fix a temporary emotion with a permanent action.

it is very important to care for yourself in these ways—you matter, do not let anyone convince you that you don’t. plus, how are you supposed to fight for others without first fighting for yourself? silly goose.

Anarchists can be chill if they admit their ideology makes 0 sense in practicality like that one guy from god knows when

People who believe the US saved lives by nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki because invading it would kill more US soldiers forget one thing

US soldiers' lives don't matter

[geekyleftist]

Do I believe Israel has the right to exist?

I don't think any state has "the right" to exist. People have the right to exist. A state is a bureaucratic administrative construct and human lives are always to be put first.

Short answer: NO.
