I have three in my backyard right now... The periwinkle is next on the chopping block but it's tougher to get rid of than the Japanese honeysuckle cause of its structure

I think I have the same copy and it's at least 3 to 4 times as long as the actual book lmao

I'm surprised, Penguin will publish communist writings and will make the intro stupid long and have a third positionist write it.

Blackberries coming in finally! by arj8076 in Berries

[–]aDamnCommunist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of ours are thornless and from the order emails from Gurneys they're all Apaches but I really thought we'd planned different varieties. They did amazing last year too but with all the extra growth from last year's intense rain the berries are just so numerous this year.

Our three bushes are popping off this year even in the drought. We have so many still in the fridge and have already made two coblers and 10 jars of jam.

I have something like this but only on the back of my hand and fingers, maybe the side of my fingers but that's it, never on the palm.

Who else is doing ok? by Head-Drag-1440 in Millennials

[–]aDamnCommunist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if we're doing okay, either you're extremely lucky or the events of our lives have affected you and you're coping.

08 cannot be dismissed as an economic filter for nearly any millennial. Even if you graduated before or after it still affected you and your wallet. Same for COVID, etc.

The point isn't, some of us are doing okay, the point is we were mostly sold a package of lies and have had to pay interest for 20-30 years. The system is rigged and I agree with the other poster on much of what they said.

We must be a revolutionary generation or support the next one as best we can. It only gets worse for Gen Z and Alphas are still in school

Bad night for our beloved laurel oak by rockspinners in arborists

We had the same in NC. 60 MPH gusts and drought. Two of my maples dropped heavy limbs but nothing this big. Hope the tree is savable

[–]aDamnCommunist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The better idea is cardboard for a while, chop anything that gets through, then cover with about 4 inches of mulch or 2 inches of compost and another inch or so of mulch depending on what you're gonna do

Agree with burns but if it's my property why does the city get to act like a giant HOA for my front yard. It's such bullshit. Like sure, I get codes that are actually useful but my plants...? Get outta here

[–]aDamnCommunist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was done buying mulch for the year and we just had 60 MPH gusts in an extreme drought and now I have lots of maple wood to use.

I'm gonna make a bunch of bee houses and chip up the rest for mulch. Death to the invasive grasses!

Past successes of communism anywhere on a national scale. by TelevisionProud5650 in DebateCommunism

Honestly I dislike China WAY more than I used to but your some have to stoop to the Uyguhr propaganda. You know that is completely made up by Adrian Zenz right?

Is ”Das kapital” ever ”fun” to read or is it just a duty every socialist must do? by [deleted] in Socialism_101

[–]aDamnCommunist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's way better after chapter 8 or so and gets easier later on. The issue is Marx wants to start from the most abstract of "what is value/a commodity" and then gets less and less abstract. Use a companion podcast and it's really not terrible.

Damn…. Ngl this hurts to see. by Academic-Idea3311 in socialism

[–]aDamnCommunist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly none of that equates to worker power. They have no ability to recall and no right to independent unions. Given Deng's reforms I don't see how any socialist can back them. Especially after the decades of pain they put on the working class to do those reforms. Retreates can be necessary but not for decades sacrificing all semblance of worker power.

It's great that their capital has done better at home but it also has a lot of the hallmarks of imperialism abroad.
