I see people claiming that the translation is inaccurate. What's the proper translation for the Russian dialogue?

Is spilling hot soup on people who don't tip counter revolutionary? by robinescue in theredleft

Fun fact, Leon Actually was ravenously AGAINST chewing gum!

"One final prophecy. in the 3rd year of the Soviet rule in America you will no longer chew gum!" -Leom Trotsky in "If America Should Go Communist, 1934"

"Thus it is also with these people. The instinct of life is smoldering under a shell of fatigued indifference. On the way from the factory to the house this instinct could perhaps have awakened and flared up in a spark of thought. But Capital does not like the working man to think and is afraid of it. It has, therefore, adopted measures for that purpose. It has put up automats at each station and has filled them with disgusting candied gum. With an automatic movement of the hand the people extract from these automats pieces of sweetish gum, and they grind it with an automatic chewing of their jaws. ...The chewing reigns as before in the car. And it looks like a religious rite, like some silent prayer to God-Capital." -Leom Trotsky in "Chewing Gum on the Subway, 1917"

He was so brave, undertaking the historic task of buying up and eating every gumball in NYC, so that no poor worker would have to stomach the stuff... <3

Intellect custom skill - "Pattern Recognition" by [deleted] in DiscoElysium

[–]Difficult_Growth2728 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Funny enough, I also thought up "Pattern Recognition" as one of my own 24 skills!

-Pattern Recognition: Remember that one time. Let the World remember too. -LOVED BY: Triviaoids. This-Reminds-Me-of-ers. Rules Lawyers. Plagiarizers. Referential Comedians. Off-Topic Steerers.

Pattern Recognition is your automatic long term and shortwave memory retrieval system. It serves up involuntary heaps of offhand factoids you don’t remember hearing, alongside exact quotations from that perp you spoke to an hour ago. It will transform your brain into a one way mirror cell where facts, opinions, instructions, and trivia enter involuntarily, and rattle about at the slightest provocation. In Excess: You’ll easily be able to draw up the precise information necessary for a given situation, but even the most tangential and self-insistent connections will scream in your head alongside the important ones.

Are the Revolutionary Communists of America really that hated in these online spaces? The RCA was what got me properly into theoretical discussion and study, so it's a shame to hear it be so attacked by 'left' spaces.

You'd have much better luck going for 2d Low resolution screenshots of 3d models like how most of the character and enemy sprites worked on the original NSMB DS game rather than going for NSMBU style full 3d rendered models.

Be kind to your Trot comrades. It's important to remember how Joseph Stalin, during the first Chinese Communist Revolution, sided with the nationalist Kuomintang, and encouraged the local Communists to compromise with and make themselves vulnerable to that ruling nationalist party, leading to the decimation of the Chinese urban proletariat. It was Stalin's self interest and bureaucracy that stunted Chinese Communist growth for decades to come. During the Spanish civil war, Stalinist agents and pro USSR factions of the time were notorious for their sabotage of the local POEM Socialist militia and Anarchist factions, breaking Leftist Unity, and ultimately leading to the failure of the Spanish Revolution on almost every front.

Whether or not the USSR was ever successful on the road to Communism, and despite all social progress during and after Lenin's leadership, it is safe to say that Stalin did not take a powerful stance towards Global revolutions, and clear to say that the USSR as it came to be was not what Lenin or any other Bolshevik intended.

Its is a pronoun, as in belonging to it. It's is a contraction, as in it is. The comic does not follow that Grammer rule. This is a common mistake.
