i heard vigotsky books are lit, famous soviet psychologist, if i heard right, he wrote about autism too and collaborated for current days drop of asperger name.

capitalism is so marvelous that applies it inversely, one part gets jobless, the other work like fuck.

I'd say to scale down said debates to not tank your relationship over that. if the debate is inevitable, the "didn't kill enough" depoliticize the discussion, and to someone outside our circle you make you look like a lunatic, so the best approach imo is bringing the discussion to context, like the other comrade commented quoting losurdo, recognize the repression but putting into the context the political situation soviet union had at the moment, surrounded by reactionary forces including the assassination attempt on lenin, to at least not end the discussion looking like stalin was a monster that killed people for shits and giggles. critic without autophagy.

i'm talking mostly with my dad, he worked his whole life, he knows how to handle stuff and some gold tips i got here.

mental exhaustion has been more demanding that physical i guess, i naturally have social anxieties, suspect of being neurodivergent so i'm not handling well the toxicity of the workplace.

i'm trying at least to be a contact with some new, to show that atheist are normal people, not satan worshipers that eat babies. but sometimes i fell overwhelmed and that i shouldn't speak progressive topics, since their first contact with one communist has been disappointing since i don't fit the ideal worker and leave a poor impression that communists are fragile, spoiled, smart pants and etc, plus due particularity of brazilian politics, people are very immersed on neoliberal ideology of each on your own and people have disdain for politics subject and see parties in general as parasites that show up only to ask for votes in election years and steal their money.

pergunta difícil, não acho que tenha um que seja o melhor. o que temos são mídias independentes de esquerda e alguns jornais ligados a diferentes partidos do país.

Opera Mundi, Brasil de Fato - esses dois comentam assuntos nacionais e internacionais, apesar de não serem explicitamente socialistas, são de esquerda e bem favoráveis a países socialistas e ao sul global, como Venezuela, Cuba, China e Russia.

ICL Noticias - De esquerda focado nos assuntos nacionais, bem avançado no tópico e o mais agradável de navegar por não conter anúncios, tem a piada recorrente que é o jornal do Engels brasileiro, o Eduardo Moreira era um banqueiro rico que mudou de lado e hoje usa sua fortuna para manter uma plataforma de cursos a preços acessíveis e montou um jornal com estrutura de televisão.

Jornal A Verdade - Jornal do partido PCR/UP.

O Poder Popular - Jornal do PCB.

Em Defesa do Comunismo - Portal de noticias e prototipo de jornal do PCBR, nova organização que surgiu com o racha do PCB.

A Nova Democracia - Jornal de organizações maoistas.

MST - Jornal do MST, maior movimento social pela reforma agrária que temos.

MTST - Jornal do MTST, maior movimento social por moradia popular que temos.

bem, acho que isso dá um panorama bem geral sobre o ecossistema, fora esses jornais tem comunicadores ligados a diferentes organizações ou isolados que criam conteúdo nas diversas plataformas, como youtube e tiktok.

thank you very for the message.

sadly there are no unions around, i do talk with my dad about it, he has some tips and tricks on surviving in the factory. may be a controvert take, but interacting with coworker has been taking a toll in my mental health, i'm not a manly man you know, everyone else try to be stronk men and lots of homophobics jokes around, that i don't find funny.

i will try to put what highalectical said in simpler terms, and starting pointing out that this discussion is very very important to new people.

so, how communism itself will look in the future will be determined by the material conditions of the future, since we are not there yet, we can't say for sure, only speculate. but you can say you dream of a society that has x characteristic.

the same goes for socialism itself, how its gonna look for each country, will be determined by said country, for good or bad. that is why soviet socialism is different from chinese, that is different from yugoslavia, that is different from korea and so on.

but if we take all of those and try to dawn similarities, we can note a certain tendency, and that tendency is a uplift on quality of life, like the other comrade said in another comment, drastic reduction or extinction of illiteracy, full employment for long periods of time, agrarian reform, reduction or extinction of homelessness and so on.

and why that discussion is important, there are some revisionists line that throw materialism out of the window and create an abstract form of socialism, and they use that abstraction to shit on former socialists and current ones, for example abolition of family and moneyless economy, no socialist country ever came close to both of these, so these lines spew that there was never a "true socialist country", all were horrific oriental despotism dictatorship and etc.

first, thank you very much from your message, it helps a lot.

i'm thinking of quitting too, still have some money left from my previous job, that i was saving to buy a house.

i'm very used to insane deadlines, being pushed around by higher ups and whatnot, but i'm good at some stuff and always managed somehow, this time it is physical work and there is this annoying guy that isn't even a higher up, a lowly employee like me, but like to bosses everyone around, people hate him, even from different parts of the factory, i'm also very bad at handling people, and get pushed around by this dude and he is major part of why i'm down.

i was talking to my dad, he said there was someone just like that in his time, lowly employee that works his ass off and likes to boss people around and gave me tips on how to handle, although not sure i will be able to carry forth with what he said, which is basically tell him to fuck off, especially when he is the one tasked to showing me the rope.

that is a little part of why im collapsing, talking to coworkers. the whole place is pure toxic masculinity, even tho, im not a "manly man" and nowadays i simply can't engage in homophonic jokes anymore, don't find them funny. also decided to experiment a little and told when asked which church i went, that im atheist, well that also didn't went very well.

after these few days I'm realizing that the communist movement has rough days ahead, in overcoming the neopentecostal binds, while being everything that the common sense hates, women, atheists, lgbtq+, african religions and etc...

there was that one time in high schools that i used a small sock that didn't cover the achilles tendom, it burned my skin from friction alone, after that i always make sure that my socks are high enough to cover all my feet.

the problem in having with the boot is that it is a bigger size and it has a shitty insole so my feet wiggle inside and the sole is hard, so that makes my feet hurt like fuck, also i walk a lot during shift to grab materials and whatnot and there isn't a place to sit nor time, i will put a distance calculator on my phone to see how much i walk daily.

thanks for the tips, i will get the correct size shoes and some decent insoles, one day and my feet already hurt. i will see about protein at home, since the factory forbids the entrance of any liquid due to problems with workers drinking alcohol on shift, the least we can do is bring empty water bottles and fill with water inside the factory.

as for hearing im comfortable since i don't work close to machines. when picking up things i squat, so it doesn't hurt my back

i get the joke, but if that was the case, gotta scratch half of each european country

i gotta work up the courage to do some exercise at least to not be so deadbeat and you know, prepare for revolution, im thinking in doing capoeira, since the least shitty body part is my legs and i have natural flexibility, which could be better if i practiced. my first thought was tae kown do but theres not gym that teaches it in my city. gotta get fit and learn some self defense, fascists are getting bold out here.

i feel you, i need to buy some clothes specific to be drenched, specially in brazil hot climate, as for shoes thank the left by law they have to provide us with personal protection equipment so they lend steel reinforced boots, still i need to also acquire a water bottle because cups don't come by easily there, and the salary sucks, anyway we fucking need communism right now to make factories decent places to work.

sem o comitê central sabotando o próprio partido, possa ser que nos anos seguintes a gente comece a ver o movimento crescer com mais vigor, em paralelo com o pcr/up.

pensando em me juntar até quando eu resolver umas pendengas minhas.

more like fascism.

the zizek of computer sciences.

mas teve um vencedor, e claramente foi o vilela. o tanto de visualização, ad, superchat e etc que ganhou não deve ter sido brincadeira.

i watch a dude that lives in china, he says that because of the century of humiliation and opium abuse, china has a strong anti-drug policy, u can get in jail pretty easily for using, and death penalty for dealing, but wild marijuana cultivation and usage is fine since they haven't been selected to contain big levels of thc so they can't get you very high.

as for russia, i guess the church maybe forbid it.

and the last edit part you said basically summed it up, cotton lobby, plantations and the plant be associated religious practices of some people.

i myself wanna try smoking some to see if it can help me sleep a little better, I've been trying passiflora but no luck, getting canabis oil prescription is almost impossible and get the medicine itself here in brazil.

i think the source of his skepticism about it is the claim on a healthy alternative to smoking tobacco, and that is total bs, because the act of smoking itself is harmful, you are burning stuff and inhaling carbon monoxide, that is toxic af.

there is a argument about being healthier than cigarettes because it is a natural product, without the chemicals they use, but the tobacco industry is trying to reinvent itself with the same argument by selling roll up cigs with "fresh" tobacco.

nah, kinda was more like a joke i guess, since there is tankie tunes i thought it would be funny to have tankieflix. anyway, i wouldn't fell bad if it got deleted or deactivated

guilt on charge, i made one to be a pair of other but ended up dead, so yeah, some house cleaning would be nice, could even reduce server costs

i with queer on this one, u should keep then from smartphones and similar due to it is not a reward for good behavior, it is a sedative to keep your child under control, and that is bad parenting, specially with how internet works now with shorts videos, content farm sewage, my nephew watches this i'm horrified with what i've seen.

ofc, today we can't shut someone off completely off screens nor play the reactinary macho that started to hunt dear at the age of 3, u can let him watch cartoons, movies or play video games, on tv ofc and for a limited time per day, consume stuff that is mind engaging instead of dopamin bombs we have on internet. and depending turns it into a bonding activity, like watch a movie together, play video games, discuss the movie after and so on.

but as queer said, focus primarily on physical stuff, going outside, specially with other children, estimule the habit of reading since a early age, it will be helpful in life.

if they cause any damage, instead of going berserk on the child then clean it up, make the child repair the damage while explaining things. even tho force is a no, moral punishment is fair game, like temporally not permitting x activity or object due to poor behavior. and lastly going the other way around, reward good behavior without spoiling the child, to maybe create in him a sense of being productive instead of paranoia from being punished for small things.

idk, maybe I'm just projecting how i wanted to the raised because i was raised like a inmate, looked the wrong direction get the stick, instead of this turning me in to a upstanding person the only things i learned was to shut myself in, lie, cheat and wiggle my way out of situations to avoid punishment.

anyway i think you gonna do great, since you are showing concern now, instead on winging it and possibly taking revenge on what was done to you on your own child.

that is sad to read :(

Well, there are revolutionaries processes ongoing on india and philippines, im not up to date on how they are progressing. in the rest of the third world maxism is slowly rebuilding, my guess the next one will be in africa continent, since there is still an anti colonial struggle.

thank you president putin for getting rid of fascists world wide, trully.

that was the michael scottiest thing I've ever seen.

we can choose where and when we are born, gotta do with what we were given by the lottery of life. children doesn't have cognitive ability to properly understand the world around them, so they are innocent. adults tho, they have cognitive ability to understand, and if they consent with the status quo being apartheid and ethnic cleansing, they are not Innocent.

the opening of saving of private ryan is us army charging frontally machine gun bunker nests without cover or any kind of support.

my guess is that the message they try to convey is that brave soldiers valiantly marched to death to protect freedom or whatever. but end up contradicting themselves.

soon.

I've been reading a little, i got recommended the mentioned texts here on lemmygrad, not gonna lie that trying to learn philosophy has been a frustrating endeavor, to the point that i don't even know how to properly judge the quality of theory he produced, so i do rely on other people to help sort some thoughts.

i do know his about his achievements as a leader and why west demonizes him so much, ik it is stupid to use liberals as a compass, anyway, i will keep trying to read more.

are they trots or something else? im reading a little book called What is Dialects by Alexandre Konder, a brazilian author, he goes to similar points, he says that there was metaphysics tendencies growing in communists parties around europe, especially in germany with Berninstein, then Lenin dissed the shit out of everyone in What is to be done, to correct these tendencies, that made possible due to Lenin deep understanding of hegelian dialects, then everything went to crap when Stalin came to power because he despised theory, but had a amazing ability to make didactic examples like in the text historical materialism and dialectical materialism, but still weak on hegel, something something that paved way to revisionists like kruchov to rise.

i felt compelled to translate the part and bring to you guys, but coincidentally the subject came up, so, what is the deal with that? is any of this true that stalin wasn't up in theory and didn't understood stuff?

me too, i not sure. a great army sure, all remaining socialists country are military power, not all have nukes tho.

disagreement respected 🤝

if you disable view history, they remove the front page, which is a win imo.

also I've seen people from multiple countries complaining about similar things, getting recommendations from far right media even tho they are lefties, I've watching mostly left content since 2021, now and then i get recommended far right outlet and personalities even after blocking then, while channels that i subscribe don't send notifications.

yt and any other imperialist monopoly were always like that, but ot has gotten considerably worse lately, so something important is happening and we are not seeing it.

an update to you, since u talked about extracting taxes and land.

the governor of the state published a monetary fund account for peoples donation, turns out that this fund isn't governmental, it is a private fund made my banks to fucking steal money from people trying to help the affected by the rains.

i get why lenin died of multiple strokes, it is impossible to be a fucking human being without getting stressed as fuck.
