I know being dogmatically anti-US everything is, well, dogma but yeah Iran is probably going to get worse off from these protests. Their current leadership is far from perfect but at least they’re not monarchal puppets of the west.

I mean, it depends what your definition of leftist is, all the communists I know here in the UK have been very much against the invasion.

• US is still bad with Trump gone
• Israel is still bad with Netanyahu gone
• UK is still bad with Starmer gone
• France is still bad with Macron gone
• Capitalist Russia is still bad with Putin gone

It is not the individuals at fault, it is the system and it’s ruling class and this is evident if you actually educate yourself, so please do.

even r/conservative on reddit, the vast majority seem to be against it. That might change though once the propaganda goes on overdrive e.g. Fox News.

Could it be as simple as that the ultra wealthy want a culture war instead of a class war and so they blur the surface level cultural differences between the two primary classes in capitalist society? Or maybe it’s a fascist thing, white unity rather than proletarian unity.

Ermmm, actually USA good because capitalism and white people, China bad because communism and not white people. It is literally this simple you silly tankie /s

Please stop using George Orwell for similes & metaphors. His works were pushed by the West as anti-communist propaganda, portraying a false equivalence of the far left being just as bad as the far right. There are plenty of better sci-fi dystopia authors out there which are overshadowed by this pathetic man.

But aside from that, fuck this fascist government and I wish you all the best with your case

People stay stuck in the mindset of “in the near future I will do this” when what you actually need to do is build up your willpower and motivation in the present.

If you are beginning a new year new body gym routine resolution thingamajig starting January 1st, make sure on that day your main goal isn’t to go to the gym for an hour but instead to work on your mentality to go regularly. And internalise after you have worked out, how good that post-workout serotonin feels.

Also watch like a gym basics guide on Youtube or something it is your first time.

I wish I could learn Marxism-Leninism through a tutor, as ADHD makes it difficult to read theory by myself & my own will, and not just actually read it, but also memorise / internalise what I am reading. I don’t have the money to go abroad and enrol in some communist university course in an AES country, and I imagine that would put me under government surveillance too, if I am not to some extent already on a list. And, I don’t find online courses retain my attention anywhere near as well as in-person classes do. Anyway sorry for ranting, some of my examples:

Kindness & cruelty, dry & wet, loud & quiet, inside & outside, existence & inexistence, intact & damaged, fast & slow, progress & regress, chaos & tranquility, violence & peace, focus & blur, desire & aversion.

Most working class people are not at all happy with the status quo, if we can present them with answers and solutions, show them what capitalism and their government is (nationally and internationally), what their own position is within society, that can push them more and more left so to speak.

I don’t think there is a straightforward broad strategy to make people aware like this, I think every communist needs to understand their own local people and plan in accordance to that, or in other words, the political conversion process is subjective not objective.

For me, the failure of Labour to do really anything to change the circumstances of living in the UK made me move away from the mainstream moderate left western views. In simple terms I just recognised, this is not working. I was never gonna go to the right or the enlightened centre and so it was either political nihilism or investigate more throughly ‘this socialism stuff’.

Once I became some Green Party, tax the rich, SocDem type of guy, I recognised I could still remain open-minded rather than merely, naïvely assume this is what is needed to fix my country.

So I checked out anarchism and Marxism-Leninism - it’s worth mentioning I had a lot of propaganda deprogramming to do, and that is hard to push through, I think it’s a major barrier for many people who have been told all their life how supposedly evil these movements are - but here I am, now an M-L communist (I found it more logical, moral and factual than anarchism), still learning but knowing enough that I can’t see myself committing to any other political movement. I wanted the truth, I wanted a solution, I wanted hope, and I believe I have found it.

We need Stalin AI edits of whatever the present day viral meme is, imagine how many new comrades we would have if Stalin said ‘six seven brain rot slop we are charlie kirk’

Margaret Thatcher never really died because since she left Downing Street, every Prime Minister has just been another Thatcherite neoliberal.

The 2008 crash and COVID has just given them more excuse to continue fucking over the poor, and you would think more people would become radicalised yet all the communist parties are miniscule (some decent ones slowly growing at least) & the closest thing we have to communists getting in power is Jeremy Corbyn and Zack Polanski, and they are typical socialists by name, left liberals in reality.

it is supposed to be, yes lol
