11·14 hours agoLenin wasn’t just “guided by the forces of his time”
His first act after couping the provisional government was the creation of the Checka, a secret police force that he used to arrest all the Socialist Revolutionaries, the people responsible for the February Revolution. Also the winners of Russia’s only free and fair election.
He then wrote about how “vanguard parties” and totalitarian dictatorship were somehow part of communism.
No, Lenin was a power hungry monster who shit on Marx’s dream.
10·1 day agoThe special election thing was Republicans trying to limit the power of the incoming Democratic Governor.
It’s likely unconstitutional, and Bashear has indicated that he’ll ignore it when the time comes. Also the Republicans are terrified of any election at this point.
They delay now to barely “hold” the seat, hoping that Trump somehow becomes competent before November.
I’m one of the people who always says that Lenin was a fucking monster, and that no authoritarian can ever be communist. Which includes China.
I’m 100% sure that if I ever found myself going to China, I’d be arrested for calling Xi a fascist poo bear playing pretend at communism.
I’m also quite certain that come November Trump will start working up to arresting people for things said online. I’m sure I’ll be at risk for calling him a pedo and posting this link; https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/10/6/1578544/-The-Untold-Story-of-Trump-Model-Management-A-Daily-Kos-Exclusive-Part-1
How does that matter?
Both are fucking horrible.
But also, China does both. In 2023 they had over 700 million cameras tracking people.
Didn’t forget them, they’re not sending masked thugs to vanish people from the street.
The NSA is a spy org, but not full of Trump loyalists.
Trump is focusing on ICE, because it is full of specifically Trump loyalists.
Nope. Proud Boys are the brown shirts. Non-governmental paramilitary fighters.
FBI was an actual law enforcement organization, but has been gutted.
The CIA isn’t a boogie man inside the US. They’ve fucked up enough times that very few people respect them. Also they don’t really do domestic spying.
No, the NSA is the one who does domestic spying.
And finally ICE, an agency that is 100% filled with diehard Trump supporters. They’re already abducting innocent people off the street and vanishing them. Masked thugs working for the state vanishing people without warrants is sort of the basic definition of secret police.
That’s only true if you only do and say things online that China approves of.
China has secret police, and has for decades.
ICE is Trump’s attempt at creating a secret police.
China already has this sort of system completely built out.
Yes, that’s how it’s implemented under capitalism.
States further into their authoritarianism don’t need to bother with middle men and cutouts and shit.
They just put up the cameras.
I’d say Mammon, the demonic personification of greed.
2·2 days agoThat’s the “battle” talked about in the article.
1880?
Their brains weren’t pure, they were thoroughly pickled in various distilled liquors. Which since most transportation of the day knew its way back home, that was fine.

From what I’ve seen elsewhere, there’s a shit head son who is just as bad as the father, and then the rest of the family who kind of hates both.
There’s a new technique that uses the AIs “thinking” tags to get it to do things that are otherwise banned by policy.
I’ll have to find the article again. But due to the way LLMs work, they can’t defend against this sort of attack.
11·3 days agoThey botched it, but also the worst of the damage was where Trump drove his motorcade over it.
The guy who gives the blade a quick 120 grit sharpen with an angle grinder can even dress up like a dentist
1·4 days agoThick goo, it doesn’t spread easily.
Gasoline and styrofoam can be stabbed into and lifted, Toluene and styrofoam makes a liquid that can be poured or splashed.
In 2023, China had over 700 million cameras tracking the population.
That’s one camera for every two citizens.
But yes the UK is also building a surveillance state.
