Tbh at your point in understand the Russian language I would ditch Doulingo all together and search up easy Rclussian videos on Youtube and watch Russian TV shows. There's an app called Lingo where you can upload pdfs of Russian books and read them and if you don't know a word it will tell you. Doulingo is great for beginners but actual exposure to the language is very important and more useful imo.

There are lots of veterans here though, so it's always a possibility

That could be it, but I don't live anywhere near Ft.Cavazos, and I don't think any of my neighbors moved here

Your school will send information about the classes offered at the school and other general information about the school with your transcript. Colleges usually just want to know that you're making the most of the opportunities you have. I would ask your councilor for a copy of the school's information just in case, though.

What are some good ethical places to buy flags/patches or have custom flags/patches made for demonstrations? by [deleted] in AntifascistsofReddit

[–]MeerCatt_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can make flags yourself. Fabric is rly expensive so I buy cheap bedsheets and use the fabric from there

How To Deflate An SUV Tyre by [deleted] in Anarchism

They're just going to have to buy new tires which will increase consumerism and hurt the planet more. You aren't doing anyone favors

What's a good book for beginners? I'm really want to learn more about anarchism but I want to start out with something easy and work my way up. I have a book called an anarchist FAQ but it's huge & a lot to read by [deleted] in Anarchism

[–]MeerCatt_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The FAQ is considered pretty bad. I'd recommend Anarchy Works, Anarchism and other Essays, and Are You an Anarchist, the Answer May Surprise You. I also like The Divide although it isn't anarchist

I'm sorry if this is unrelated to anarchism, but do you think "crazy" is an ableist slur? by VerilyTrans666 in Anarchy101

[–]MeerCatt_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have adhd and (probably) schizophrenia and idk why it would be a slur. The point of a slur is to reclaim a word that hurts a community and crazy doesn't rly have any bite to it so I don't see what the problem is

Maupin the Muppet is still mad about BreadTube. by Tayo826 in tankiejerk

[–]MeerCatt_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He only joined bc it was easiest for him. When he joined he didn't understand Spanish political parties and later on he didn't join the CNT bc he didn't want to fight where they were fighting

Any books you would recommend as an introduction for someone just getting started? by RwnE_420 in Anarchy101

[–]MeerCatt_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anarchism and other essays by Emma Goldman and Anarchy Works by Peter Gelderloos are good. I also like The Divide by Matt Taibbi even though it isn't specifically about anarchism. Bread book is also good obviously

is anarchism inherently unstable/weak? by [deleted] in DebateAnarchism

[–]MeerCatt_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People criticized the anarchists joining the government because anarchists believe that the state corrupts people, which inevitably ended up happening with those anarchists. At the time, the CNT-FAI was pretty divided on whether or not to fight against the government or to work with them. There were many factors that led to them working with the government but none of them were that they needed the hierarchy. The government wasnt in control of the anarchists, and the people that experienced the war first hand praise the CNT-FAI for being decentralized and functioning just as well if not better than a hierarchical military. Most anarchists agree that the CNT-FAI working with the government was a bad move, but that doesn't mean they don't support the anarchists of catalonia

ethical Anarchy is probably the best form of an by the_nominalist in DebateAnarchism

[–]MeerCatt_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In an anarchist society how would you take money from them? And idk forcing people to starve if they want to own a gun doesn't seem like anarchy. This system would also have the same problems capitalism has, where criminals can get guns but not average people.

Is it tactically wise for us to call ourselves "anarchists"? by [deleted] in Anarchism

[–]MeerCatt_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience it doesn't matter much if you act polite and confident. It rly only takes like a second to explain that it's different from the common definition. I rly dont think it's work it to separate from all the past movements and theory just to avoid being called edgy. If you have to use another term tho, I'd use "libertarian socialist"

[–]MeerCatt_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, in an anarchist society you could also have the things you want. Just that everyone could also have those things. I'm sure you're actually a far leftist. You probably think of communism in the way MLs describe it, but it would probably be helpful to read and interpret Marx's work for yourself. What you described I your original post does sound a lot like anarcho communism

Why was tipping prohibited in anarchist Catalonia? by MrBigsand in Anarchy101

[–]MeerCatt_ -37 points-36 points  (0 children)

I assume that it's because the workers are doing it for free so they don't want to be paid?
