There's this Dutch internet marxist called Left Laser who visited a podcast made by some douchy right wing news outlet and he got ambushed about October 7th but still managed to come out on top. He's now doing a reaction type of stream on youtube about it.

Sometimes leftist activism feels so terminally online lol. Like, I always imagine myself trying to show it to my dad who has been working in a warehouse for 30 years and I just know he wouldn't even care about it in the slightest. Like how are obscure internet beefs going to build class consciousness.

The classic Chinese strategy: "do nothing, keeping winning"

Our party leader gave a webinar today about the new government's plans and what they will mean for the population. I thought it was very informative and I admired how he gave it himself. Imagine Joe fucking Biden giving a webinar to Democrat members himself. On a Tuesday evening.

CW: suicide

Sadly a very active member of our party took her own life. Even though I did not know her very wel personally I am very shocked. We chatted a few times during party actions. Keep checking on each other, comrades.___

I have a kinda heartbreak for my academic minor I've finished. I loved it so much. I miss my classmates and teachers and the lessons. It genuinely feels like I have to refind my purpose again. I have to try to socialize more now, since so much of my social life happened with that class. Sucks that I didn't get a long term friendship out of it.

The new government has been formed and the plans are coming out slowly. The unions have already called for a big general strike soon, so fun times ahead.

The year has started off both good and bad. Family tragedy happened and my mental health seems to have taken a hit. At the same time I'm staying really disciplined when it comes to my workout regime. I am also nearing half a year sober. At least for the last few days the sun has been out instead of the constant grey sky that has been here for months.

Just had another therapy session.

I feel good, as I usually do, after I have one.

I feel that this therapist is the best therapist I've ever had.

watching 《觉醒年代》 Awakening Era at the suggestion of friends over from XHS(Rednote), though I've lost where I got that suggestion from. I've had more serious readings regarding modern Chinese history in my backlog but I've got a bunch of other stuff I want to prioritize too ;A; but anyway a dramatized rendition is a decent way to gain familiarity while having an easier time with reining in my attention. Enjoying it thusfar, got really emotional in the first episode when Chen Duxiu said (paraphrased) "our country is cooked, the old way of 'revolution' to change the leader but not the structure will not work. I don't know the way yet, but I have to find a new way." (context: Yuan Shikai's beiyang government that was nominally a republic but eventually Yuan appointed himself emperor although that lasted for less than 3 months)

before too much excitement, unfortunately I already knew some about Chen Duxiu. He is rightfully lauded for being very influential in overthrow of the Qing dynasty and in the early Republican era, as well as being a co-founder of the CPC. However he was later expelled (much history that I'm not qualified in summarizing,,, yet) and later found company with Trots (trotskyism was found to be the wrong line and almost nonexistent in prc today as far as I can tell)

So what I recall for context of seeing this suggestion, is something along the lines of "Wow, what I hear about the US Gov and conditions from you guys reminds me of our own [Chinese] history during Republican era." (This was a recurring comment I had seen in multiple places), so I think I found the recommendation (to someone else) along these lines.

and yeah. I get why someone might see parallels, it was a dark and chaotic time. I had known about it generally speaking, but with less context of social conditions, like social hierarchy/structure, or mass feeling of helplessness and not really knowing what to do or how to find a way out.

Obviously the specifics of the conditions of China in early 1900s are vastly different from US right now... much to think about.
