“George Bush doesn’t care about Black people.” These were the words of famed rapper Kanye West during the 2005 nationally televised telethon benefit for victims of Hurricane Katrina. In this notorious quote, Kanye expressed a popular conception of the Bush administration for a whole generation of people. How is it then, that less than 15 years later the same Kanye West — son of a Black Panther who had previously made commentary on racism in the U.S. — would go on a national tour professing his love for Hitler? Even more recently, beloved star in the Black community, Nicki Minaj, cozied up to Ben Shapiro after rapper Megan Thee Stallion blasted her for misogynoir. Both of these instances illustrate the right’s newfound investment in popular culture in response to young people, people of color and the LGBTQ community’s increasing acceptance of socialism.

Kanye was the son of a Black Panther?! Holy shit...

Anyway:

It's only a few paragraphs long and is for a pre-convention discussion (since CPUSA is in discussion period for our democratic process).

Damn, this was a record for me.

It was a rally and march for Palestine at the city nearby.

@Othello@hexbear.net might know about it, but I don't think they're here now (I'm just tagging in case they are).

Ask me about it if you want, but right now I'm "venting" about something positive; I'm really proud of myself for keeping up the pressure regarding Gaza and helping to do that.

Definitely join an org or activist group if you can.

That's all. Cheers!

Pretty expected, to be honest.

Especially now that Joe Sims is in and not John Bachtell.

Just found out about this an hour ago.

Holy shit, this is good, and it's Marxist writers' group too.

We need more stuff like this.

@muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml Thought you might be interested in this, old friend (since you're the only other person I know right now besides myself that knew BayArea415, at least online).

But anyway, on another note, I'm glad that the PatSoc infiltration attempts were sorted out, otherwise the content would just be a repeat of Haz's trash ideas lol

Glad they're experimenting with a writing and literature group; very early in its initial phase, from what I know.

It's a pity that one of the people didn't get a chance to finish his own fictional work and had to stop at the beginning before it got to the crux or point of it all.

Anyway, enjoy, y'all.

Good discussion and a long one too. Nearly an hour. I felt Ben was a good guest too. And of course, there's Justine Medina as well.

How to Be a Good Communist

Written/Published: July 1939

I'm reading this for the first time, btw, based on something I heard online. Someone also recommended it to me and said Liu Shaoqi was underrated.

Definitely giving this a go.

I talked about this video in this post here.

It really helped me. I mean, this was a godsend (except for the jump-scare near the beginning). I would heartily recommend it to people who struggle with productivity either way.

Love these!

I hope everyone else enjoys this episode.

I didn't know about the recent call for more colonialism in Africa by Erik Prince till now.

If anyone has any more info on that, let me know.

Thanks!

Good stuff.

Love Henry Winston.

You can read the book for yourself here.

Check it out. I highly recommend this book.

Oh yeah, and there's a sequel to it as well. Maybe I'll do a book club on both later on.

I'm quite excited for where the CPUSA is going.

Enjoy!

Thoughts on this?

Video is 13 minutes long.

It seems that there is a lot of government bloat (I know, I know) but it also meshes with non-profits and other businesses involved, which culminates in the state (in the truly Marxian sense of the word) having a lot of bureaucracy to it ("you stay in your role and I stay in mine").

Reading through this right now.
