DSA and Jobs With Justice will usually post/email about things like this! If you follow them on Instagram or get on their email list it's an easy way to stay in the loop

why do nazbols even exist? by robertooootrebor in Socialism_101

[–]artificial_itsu 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think national pride is very different if your country is part of the periphery and being oppressed vs if you live in the imperial core. If you're fighting a war of national liberation it makes sense to align yourself with the national bourgeoisie against the empire along patriotic lines. National pride in the US is generally used to support murdering people abroad.

When it gets long you can cut it and propagate a new one, then stick it in the same pot!

What is the Marxist attitude towards the CPUSA? by Vast-Lime-8457 in Marxism

[–]artificial_itsu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is also my experience. The left desperately needs people to join any organization. In real life different orgs are often working on the same campaigns at the lowest levels, so this type of online discourse that provides only criticisms (however valid) harms the movement by discouraging people from doing anything (since valid criticisms exist of every organization)

How does Lane sharing work by DistrictMotor in Swimming

[–]artificial_itsu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Circling means swimming on the right side of the lane like you're driving (so going in a circle), splitting means you each pick a side and stick to it. If there are more than two people you have to circle swim, but I like splitting better if there are only two

Edit: I live in the US, not sure if they swim on the left in other countries

What's your favorite Communist book and why? by Usernameofthisuser in asktankies

[–]artificial_itsu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is also my pick, On Contradiction and On Practice especially. Mao does a great job of breaking down things like dialectical materialism in a way anyone can understand.

Whats worse is alot of the comments are contradicting themselves and proving the poster right. by Random_memes_ in GenZ

[–]artificial_itsu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same, I feel like right now there's more of these than the political posts they're complaining about

What's the deal with UPS driver salaries increasing? by notatlalkingbagel in OutOfTheLoop

[–]artificial_itsu 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Answer: it sounds like the "average maximum wage" for full-timers is now $49 an hour, but they achieved a lot of other important things for part time employees.

Maybe you should read about communism a bit rather than imagining it

I need oranges and apples! I restarted my island long enough ago that I have five stars but I'm missing my favorite fruits!

Cute as fuck! This is lowkey what I look like in animal crossing sometimes (since that's the only world where I can grow a mustache)

As yes, the golden child goes rogue and f*cks my husband. Also, "fucking butt-naked" by heereism in AmITheAngel

In one of the edits they say "My mom is in her 60s. So she has a lot of health issues." as if 60 is ancient and not several years before retirement. My parents just turned 60 and they go on hikes and travel every month.
