tiennamen square never existed

I know what you mean. But I am going to take it at it's litteral value, because it is so much funnier to think that someone said "Tiananmen square doesn't exist"

This is where someone paints Biden (or Blinken) and German+British+Fr*nch+others PM sitting at a table eating the third world.

"We are going to eat you". They are stating it out loud.

I would have just added a comment under the current weeks general thread. If it weren't for the fact that I really like the book and REALLY think you should read it.

Strong writes in a way that is easy to read. And, as she has done before, she writes about the successes of the Soviet Union and Socialism. My liberal brain-worms were writhing, chapter by chapter they could not accept what was written, too good to be true, propaganda! Though I must have gotten very happy reading about these success, because I at one point got teary-eyed.

quote from where it boiled over.

When a winter childbirth in a distant Arctic station developed complications, the neighbors got the Dixon Island surgeon on the radio and for more than three hours he directed over the air every detail while the whole of a much-worried Arctic listened in. When the child and mother were safe, congratulations poured in from thousands of miles of icebound waterfront.

 

Please read it, not because I made an epub (although yea, also that), but because I think it's a great book.

I have made what I believe to be the first reflowable version of "This Soviet World" by Anna Louise Strong.

This book is incredibly fucking good. READ IT. (please)

The heads of government in America are not the real rulers. I have talked with many of them from the President down. Some of them would really like to use power for the people. They feel baffled by their inability to do so; they blame other branches of government, legislatures, courts. But they haven’t analyzed the real reason. The difficulty is that they haven’t power to use. Neither the President nor Congress nor the common people, under any form of organization whatever, can legally dispose of the oil of Rockefeller or the gold in the vaults of Morgan. If they try, they will be checked by other branches of government, which was designed as a system of checks and balances precisely to prevent such “usurpation of power.” Private capitalists own the means of production and thus rule the lives of millions. Government, however chosen, is limited to the function of making regulations which will help capitalism run more easily by adjusting relations between property and protecting it against the “lawless” demands of non-owners. This constitutes what Marxists call the dictatorship of property. “The talk about pure democracy is but a bourgeois screen,” says Stalin, “to conceal the fact that equality between exploiters and exploited is impossible. . . . It was invented to hide the sores of capitalism . . . and lend it moral strength.” [Stalin, Leninism, I, 46]

You: I wish ["tankies", or whatever else you want to call us] stopped worshiping dictators.

Genie: Granted

You: Nothing changed.

Genie: Correct.

fucking liberals

I understand that you can't understand our comments. I mean, if you did, you'd realise we don't worship anyone.

But... damn, you can't even read the image in the post.

Every time I forget just how bad the U.S. is, I am reminded "death to amerikkka".

[-] ComradeEd@lemmygrad.ml 63 points 1 year ago

Thank you. As you said, even if the person you responded to didn't read it, there are us comrades that will learn from it.

This isn't the security council, or anywhere else, where the U.S. has veto rights. This (the Third Committee) seems to run on "majority yes" voting (i.e. if enough vote yes, it is adopted).

^From^ ^Voting^ ^records^ ^of^ ^the^ ^Third^ ^Committee^^:^

Recorded vote on draft resolution A/C.3/77/L.5, as orally revised and as amended - Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance

Recorded vote on draft amendment A/C.3/77/L.52 - Amendment to draft resolution A/C.3/77/L.5

US and Ukraine voted no, on L.5. And yes on the L.52 amendment.


For reference:

The Committee then took up draft amendment “L.52”, which inserts a new operative paragraph, reading: “Notes with alarm that the Russian Federation has sought to justify its territorial aggression against Ukraine on the purported basis of eliminating neo-Nazism, and underlines that the pretextual use of neo-Nazism to justify territorial aggression seriously undermines genuine attempts to combat neo-Nazism.”
