do you mind if I ask how you are going about learning mandarin? how much would you say you know it after a year of working on it?

this sounds amazing and I think I would like to try but I don’t understand quite how it works. you are giving 1on1 personal lessons for each person who wants it?? is it more like an online classroom setting like those ‘zoom’ meetings but on a different platform? is it all written learning or do your students speak with you audibly, or with each other? I would love to learn Arabic but I can’t understand how it would be possible to do that not in a class setting or surrounded by people to speak it with you. sorry for a barrage of questions

Thank you. looks like I have some research to do.

but I’m referring to globally while attributing them to the US bourgeois state / international capital.

I figured you meant that. it ultimately always comes back to the top of the ruling class. been learning some about GLADIO of course but while it doesn’t seem as well known, I was also hearing more about how after that period but before the WOT they were wiping out all the ALF/ELF groups and cells in the 90s and what you said fits right in with that.

Literally thousands of green activists have died or disappeared just in the last 10 years and IIRC it was worse in the 00’s.

I do not doubt this at all but I am wondering if you have any good sources that go into detail with examples and names?

late response but I wanted to say thanks for this comment. I appreciate it when people who know theory take the time to explain it with the context of whats going on now or what people are saying now

Username checks out.

^{sorry for the redditism I couldn’t resist}

is it that i am really living up to my username today or not being clear? i don’t understand why people dont understand what I’m asking.

I know libertarians have a strong tendency to be pedos. I know about the “but its actually ephebophilia” meme. I know their big thing is age of consent laws. none of that explains why that is exemplified by elon musk dressed as wario

The emote name is libertarian-approaching

I know but that’s what I’m asking, why?

can someone explain this emoji to me? I know its musk dressed as wario from a snl skit but what does it have to do with libertarian’s penchant for csa?

Why are they doing this? like what is the point? usually the things they do i can identify as being either something that directly benefits rich people, something that hurts poor people and minorities for the sake of control, or something that feeds their base because its popular. But who wants this? doesn’t seem like it helps criminalize black people anymore, there are lots of rich people who enjoy it and make money off it, and even chuds don’t believe reefer madness anymore so it doesn’t even seem like an own the libs thing.

Is israel still claiming it’s abiding by the cease fire and pretending it didn’t do this or saying that this somehow doesn’t count as a gross violation? are they just saying “lol fuck the deal, we’re not ceasing shit” and western media is just pretending these continued bombings are not happening? I’m not surprised at all that they haven’t stopped bombings or mass killing in general, I always knew the entity would keep up the genocide no matter what even in the face of some supposed cease fire, I just want to know how this is being spun, if they’re even trying to hide that they are violating the cease fire or if western news as usual is just turning blind eye.

I have looked at the website and thought of applying but I’m reclusive tbh and just don’t have it in me to start a chapter myself, not even close. But I know it would still be good just to be a member and pay dues and get the newsletter. But I was also looking at FRSO so I suppose I need to learn more about both.

I am not part of an org and am in a city that is small enough that there are no PSL chapters or anything like that. but big enough that there is going to be a fairly big organized protest tomorrow. it is a liberal area, not conservative at least that is good, but I have looked for orgs and they are all too far away and none local even though it seems like there should be.

I don’t know what I’m doing really or who to talk to around here to get organized like everyone always says we all need to do. so my plan is just to go on the march tomorrow wearing my keffiyeh and face mask and making a sign that says “From the River to the Sea” and nothing else. I don’t know is that dumb? what else should I be doing?

I’m glad MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml gets it now but I still don’t know if I fully understand. you’re saying that because these protests are insisting on being all peaceful and not threatening that means they are just showing our enemies the powerful bourgeoisie that the people have no teeth. right? but how does that mean they are against solidarity? because the protests are peaceful that means the people participating in them are not willing to stand up with force against ICE? how would you say that the the protests should be conducted?

I’m not arguing, I really don’t know what my position is on the protests being a good thing or a bad thing.

edit nevermind

It does. there’s a really good interview with one of them on the most recent Trueanon episode. worth a listen I would say.

just want to say I appreciate you doing these comment updates on the situation

Yes, a committed Marxist should run for a local political office in the US, especially in this climate.

sorry nothing constructive to add but no matter how useless electoralism may be as a strategy to seize power, doing this to spread class consciousness and build mutual aid is serious praxis and that is undeniable.
