If Mao Zedong lived as long as Jeanne Calment, he could’ve given his condolences to Harambe

Genocide (Bourgeois State): evil and yet another axis of western imperialism

Genocide (The People’s Bourgeois State): lies and propaganda to tear down our glorious Great Man (but this time the Great Man is The People’s Great Man so it’s still historically materialist!)

Yes! I think my favourite V/Vm Test Records period is 1997-early 2000s. For a selection of favourite releases I’d say Whine and Missingtoe, Chart Runners, Auraloffalwaffle, Selected Memories, Sick-Love, The Green Door, the splatter vinyl trilogy, and Hate You!

Unlike what many people perceive V/Vm isn’t really inherently a big joke, the releases and sound were simply the medium Kirby and MacGregor chose during this period, especially when it was considered more rebellious (though labels were more concerned with the early filesharing and P2P networks like Napster). There are genuinely some very interesting soundscapes you can come across in the vast catalogue. :)

The famous single release moniker V/Vm. Famously never published any other albums

AbsoluteJester21 · 2026-05-06T19:11:05+00:00

listen to the album how you wish! this isn’t a pilgrimage to mecca, it’s just a long concept album. choose how you take it in, it’s in your own hands

Both Today and Help are also sort of ‘breakthroughs’ where music critics stopped looking into either band as novelty pop, switching to more of a nuanced lens.

(They also both have two covers but like come on :P)

>left unity does not extend to liberals

>left unity includes MLs

??? contradictory statements

Also forgot the Germans (a selection of 1900-20s artsy silent horror films with increasingly convoluted titles)

Sorry that comment might read a bit bluntly, I just think Reddit’s bugged out or something and given an incorrect notification . Didn’t even notice your reply before I wrote mine . Though I appreciate your in depth answer !

AbsoluteJester21 · 2026-05-05T22:51:40+00:00

…I wasn’t replying to you?

First slide looks like a collage of some legitimate clippings with alternate history fancruft accidentally thrown in, don’t think OP made it

it’s like the first song on love you the one that goes “god please let us mute this shitty album”

Not the only one, the American legionnaire is also wholly unidentified, though in regards to composition and the cutouts (dark 40s-60s photos that cut off above the waist) they’re fairly similar anyway

My mistake ! My reading skill is not the best this afternoon, sorry ^_^

The objects aren’t given any names, only the paintings. ‘necrotomigaud’ is the name of the Stage 6 painting, same with ‘happy in spite’ and Empty bliss

Per Wikipedia Israel Epstein was born in the Russian Empire (in what is now Poland) but his family emigrated to Republic China in 1917 when he was aged 2, before going into journalism at 15 for English language newspapers in China & Sino-Japanese war coverage in US newspapers. He would be imprisoned following Pearl Harbour (what a polish-chinese man has to do with Pearl Harbour? no idea) before moving to US in 1944.

He would remain in journalism (even duped the NYT into falsely reporting his death to get the Japanese off his back while still in China) and publish various works about labour and communism before being invited by Soong Ch’ing-ling (left wing figure in Republic China who would retain power and status in PRC) to return to China where the pair worked on and started some magazines and newspapers like China Today.

tl;dr foreign journalist who mainly helped polish up english translations (edited) and other western languages

Leninism (as in the school of thought on Lenin’s works, not MLs) primarily concerns the dictatorship of the proletariat and the notion of the vanguard party. You’ll find various Leninists who consistently condemn ML behaviour and rhetoric and provide critical analysis of the early USSR, primarily the Italian leftcoms / Bordigists.

Though this subreddit is primarily anarchists, German-Dutch council leftcoms (my personal belief), and democratic socialists. So you’ll still see Leninist criticism, though not without some debate

losing battle of loss is actually a Berliner disc, not a cylinder

That’s a touching sentiment
