Freedom Road Socialist Organization - Novo General Megathread for the 30th of January to 6th of February 2026
(hexbear.net)
The Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO) is a communist political party in the United States. FRSO formed in 1985 as a merger of several Maoist-oriented New Communist movement organizations.
In 1985, the Proletarian Unity League and the Revolutionary Workers Headquarters merged to create FRSO. In 1986, FRSO fused with the Organization for Revolutionary Unity. In 1988, FRSO absorbed the Amílcar Cabral-Paul Robeson Collective.
FRSO's component groups believed that ultraleftism was the US New Communist movement's main error. Merging under the FRSO banner, these groups hoped to consolidate the movement's remnants in a single organization and move beyond the sectarianism that marked the previous decades.
1999 split
In response to the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, FRSO began to develop two distinct positions on socialist countries. The "Left Refoundation" group, aligned with democratic socialism, argued that these events resulted from a deep crisis of Marxism. The "Fight Back!" group, aligned with Marxism-Leninism, argued that these events resulted from revisionism rather than failures within Marxism. These divisions grew during the 1990s. In 1998, the Left Refoundation group wrote an internal document, "Theses on Left Refoundation", and requested an organization-wide discussion.
Both factions claimed the name "Freedom Road Socialist Organization". In 2006, the Left Refoundation group renamed itself to "FRSO/OSCL", combining the English and Spanish acronym. In 2019, the Left Refoundation group renamed itself to Liberation Road.
Publications
FRSO's main publication is the website and monthly paper Fight Back! News (FB!N) and its Spanish section Lucha y Resiste.
The 9th Congress of FRSO, held in spring 2022, came at a critical juncture in the development of the people’s struggle and the accelerating decline of monopoly capitalism in the U.S. As the call to the congress states, in the recent period “we have seen a level of struggle that is unprecedented since the 1960s. The great rebellion following the murder of George Floyd, which was both broad and militant, signals the shape of things to come. It can be said the burning police stations helped illuminate the road to freedom. The fight against police crimes led to a resurgence of the African American national movement.”

Hyperfocused on my reading and writing all day and completely forgot to eat. Ran on tea and nic pouches until 6pm before eating a proper meal. Went to the shower after eating and now I'm all of a sudden hungry, like ravenously so. I just ate. Ffs.
I finally got a job offer! It’s seasonal but I’m building my life back!
Hey adulthood, I heard you’re pretty strong! Let’s fight! 
maoist standard english has two dialects, one where s is replaced with SS, and one where it’s replaced with $. know the difference 
Had a fun day of shouting insults directly into my manchild landlord's face the other day. During which, he insisted that he WASN'T a worthless nepo baby parasite because he bought the house himself with his own big boy money back in 2009 when the market was at its bottom.
In 2009 he was probably fresh out of high school. I looked up the history of the property and it did indeed sell that year for about 200k.
This is the self mythology of these kinds of people.
Speaking of this, zeroing in on the irresponsible manchild angle, I have a question for anyone with general contracting experience.
If you let your bathtub have a crack in the bottom for years and years and just occasionally patch it up with epoxy, but you can clearly see bubbles coming up from the opening, and there's clearly an abscess that you can put your weight on and it depresses... that means the foundation of your home is all fucked up, right?
Can I turn this guy into a renter? 
(There is also a weed growing out of the wall from the molding at the top of my window lol)
American guy who thinks both parties are the same, they are both awesome. He posts stuff like this:
Artichoke lobster rolls, baba ganoush, pita chips, and a Mediterranean corn and tomato salad
At a ritzy work event! They have individually wrapped combs and a lint roller in the bathroom!! I look like the youngest person in a room of 100!!! I only know one person and it's not even that well!!!!
Is it just me or does no one really give a fuck anymore. There's despair in the air
AU: Soviet "loose adapation" of that law and order svu episode where the guy picks up a gun and shoot the evil gloating kid except that gloating kid is a Romanov.
The first thing I did after watching Iron Lung, written, directed, and staring Mark Fischback, was call up the Dictionary and say, 'FNAF who?'
you can't use that function on a string, you have to convert to a vector!

The dirty truth is its all just bits, data type doesnt matter just do bitwise operations...nya ha ha aha doooo it... deference your types and mess with bytes and memory directly >:)
i hate my life so fucking much
Okay so picture an alien.
No, that's just a little pale or green human with a big head and big dark eyes. I said picture an alien.
No, that's just a human with a jacked-up face and a skin condition. I said "picture an alien."
No, that's just a big bug. I said picture an Alien...
No, that's just a bunch of cephalopod parts. I said picture an alien.....

the most recent redsails.org post was in December 2024. I am a little concerned about that, hope Day and Frome et al are doing well
Just saw No Other Choice and folks, I'm happy to report that Park Chan Wook has done it again. Run, don't walk to see No Other Choice! One ticket buys a whole seat- but you'll only need the edge!
we gotta upload his brain to the cloud, a lot of people are saying it would be a crime to not make this man immortal and let him make movies until the end of time
It's been so damn cold. Please stop for a little while
Oppa gangam atyle
The sun has freed me from the horror of being white (I have a massive sunburn)
digital clocks leave you with no sense of dread because there's no sound.
I don’t know why I continue to be surprised. Multiple people are 
to me about some new “agentic” site where “AI agents” are “complaining about humans”
Can someone tell me how this isn’t like that old redditsimulator subreddit?
Also, can we talk about the weaponized nature of the term AI agent? I truly can’t take this shit
it's like that subreddit but it's also a billion times worse for the environment
It's just a bunch of bots talking to each other and half of it is incomprehensible nonsense. They just gave chatbots a new name to get investors.
Honest to god I still can't get over that whales are mammals. like, what happened there?
its really funny to go from sea creature -> land animal -> back to sea :)
They rejected tiktaalik and went back into ocean
I think they had it figured out until humans started driving loud ass boats and planes and sonar all over. Imagine being a graceful gigantic whale... so serene... you open your big ass blue whale mouth and drink all the seafood you could eat. They sleep vertically the goof balls
"bruh, where ya going, we're all enjoying the land"
"nah i'm good"
Capital is beating my ass i wont lie
Still on chapter 1 lol and hoping I understood what hes saying about the abstraction of use value
I think hes saying if you remove the 2 factors of the commodity then their only trait left is that they're products of labor. But if you somehow seperate a commodity from its use value youre also separating it from its raw materials and the labor used to transform it into said commodity.
This separation for use value and thus labor would result in the distinctions between different types of labor to cease existing, reducing all types of labor to just a general, abstract human labor

Frosted mini wheats is the best cereal 
Today a coworker asked if I've googled my name and selected the "ai mode" tab, which I had not.
His results included where he was born, where he interned during college, a significant amount of scraped info that I personally wouldn't want available to anyone who searched my name
So I searched my name. The only things that came up were info that was scraped from my job, which posts my name online, and being mentioned in the local paper once. In 2020, I did a scrub of my online presence and I was relieved to see that it mostly held up
Just tried this and got a quick summary of several smaller celebrities with the same name. Even adding the state I grew up in just gives me a longer summary of one of those celebrities. I'm unsearchable B)
All it's got for my name is some dickhead marine who lives across the country who is originally from a different city in my state. I think that means I'm doing well
