Welcome everybody, in what is now the year of the Dragon! Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread.
Just an update from my side: yesterday at the meeting they held a little "inauguration ceremony" for me at the party meeting. The party representative from the Capital had given me my little red membership book as well as gifted me a book from our president and a brand new party pin. Our goal this year is to get in the EU parliament to voice the program of people's Europe together with all major European communist parties. Thank y'all for the crossed fingers, the whole event went great! I hope you don't mind me talking about my experiences here.
If the 5–6 million Jews that the Axis exterminated were all confirmed anti‐Zionists, then Zionists would immediately and unhesitatingly hail all the Axis powers and their collaborators as heroes.
I know reddit is a mess but Instagram has to take the crown of bizarre comment threads for sure. You could post a picture of a pillow on a couch, no context whatsoever, and people will be fighting about something in the comments. You'd almost think the entire thing is simulated or something.
My friend sent me on Instagram a video of Jos D'Haese of the Belgian Workers Party advocating for better housing in the Flemish parliament. This friend is pretty apolitical and never sent me stuff like this before. Pretty random as well, since we are Dutch and not Belgian. I hope this is the beginning of him moving to the left.
My campus finally took down the pro-palestine stickers that have been up for the last 4-5 months. That feels like a defeat, especially in wake of what's going on.
I received R$ 100 euros from my aunt as a gift out of nowhere, and my grandmother wanted to remove a pipe full of rats from my grandmother's sink I had a very busy sunday.
Finally got around to giving a proper chance to this moderately trashy urban fantasy novel my friend has been bugging me to read for over a year and I got so hooked, already on the sequel. Been so many years since I’ve read something that isnt political/economic theory or history, its like I have cleared some kind of mental block. Highly recommend to try reading not serious stuff sometimes if you’re like me and have struggled to enjoy that shit.
I so fucking badly want From Prisons to Educational Institutions translated. It looks so interesting, the pictures in it, the stuff found in Russian Justice (which uses it as a source). ... Does anybody have a cars price worth of money to throw at translating this thing?
