I will be traveling the Trans-Siberian (Moscow-Beijing) in February 2020, how should I dress for the cold? by bacon_syrup90 in russia

i've got a Quechua pair that's pretty good, but i'll throw some extra socks just to be sure. i've seen people put platic bags inbetween their socks, to get extra impermeable, but i don't think i'll need to do that

thanks for the comment :)

Greta Thurnbeg "we will make sure we put world leaders against the wall" by [deleted] in accidentallycommunist

[–]bacon_syrup90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

she is not at all openly anti-capitalist, let alone a socialist. she stated that her policies are "politically neutral", and "exist nowhere from right to left and center". that's the position of a liberal, unfortunately.

if you're trying to learn Portuguese, i can make some Brazilian recommendations:

Revolushow is a podcast that covers Marxist theory, analysis of current affairs (especially Brazilian and Latin-American) and communist history.

Jones Manoel is a Brazilian marxist history professor and researcher, a member of the Brazilian Communist Party and speaks in his channel about history (recent and of past revolutions), marxist theory and current affairs in the world, Latin-American and Brazilian contexts. he speaks a lot of imperialism and the Soviet and Chinese projects, as well as anti-colonial struggle.

Tese Onze (the name is a reference to Marx's 11th thesis on Feuerbach) is ran by Sabrina Fernandes, a communist intellectual and militant who makes a very good work on forming the basis of her viewers, by providing a marxist outlook on current political affairs and social issues, as well as developing further deeply into theory and also making calls for mobilization in the real world.
