Don’t pass this man the rock when he’s hot🔥🏀🔥🥵HE WILL COOK! Edit: For context, she was saying “China is killing Americans” through opioids and saying Biden is helping China to kill more.

I can definitely understand peoples’ issues with it being consumed, especially in a political context, but how do yall feel about “weed”? I won’t hide my feelings, I am very much pro-weed, it’s not great that I started in my mid-teens but in my area it’s FAR from uncommon. I don’t smoke daily or anything, I’m not addicted to it (people say it’s non-habit forming but any drug can be addictive with enough frequent usage) but I do smoke and dab w/ friends often. That’s not why I believe in legalization tho, my main thing is you shouldn’t make a naturally occurring plant an illegal substance. I’d point to the DEA’s destructive (legal) burning of thousands of naturally occurring marijuana plants found in nature; This seems eco-fascist to me and to deny the uses of hemp as a production material seems dogmatic to me. The USSR used hemp for industrial purposes during the war and it helped in a major way. I’m sure most of us are familiar with the badge given for Hemp growers. If you have any criticisms, I’m more than open to it, but I feel that marijuana won’t be easy to get rid of in future society and would probably be put to use in different more productive ways.

So I’m nearly half Belarusian, I understand that Belarusian is not a language I can apply nearly as much as Russian. Duolingo is pretty bad because they make you guess when it comes to past conjugation. Ex. Words that end in у,а,ого,ю, are all guesswork. Mango languages is a good app, it’s a paid service but free if you have a library card, but the app keeps glitching and won’t work. What is a good website SPECIFICALLY for learning Russian? I’d rather have a website specifically for learning one language than a jack of all trades that barely teaches you how to speak the language. And if any comrades learning Russian would like to practice conversations with me I’d be more than willing to PM

usually Quora is garbage but damn this is pretty good. Wish they went a bit more in-depth but I like this, it’s a change of pace from most garbage answers (and questions) from Quora lol

Pretty based anti-imperialist song in Russian

I am unfortunately not very tech-savvy(I’m better at it than my parents lol but that’s not saying much) but I would like to know more(just a bit at a time, not like my friends in middle school who built their own PCs which is apparently kinda common among tech/gaming hobbyists with a bit of money but I was absolutely blown away). When I was in HS, there was the whole Ajit Pai thing and talk about Net Neutrality. It quickly blew over and people didn’t talk about it much. Basically TL;DR What is it? How does it differentiate from not having net neutrality and what are Marxist opinions on it?

I got banned from my literal fav subreddit bc I got a high rated comment and the mods checked my profile and called me a “terrorist” (except I have never had any attempts at or approval of terrorism, terrorism is to create terror as Lenin said, it doesn’t stir up anything good among a terrified working class and I’m not a psychopath) so I just deleted Reddit. No more libs in my head. No more Yoocrane funds talked about every 2 seconds. No TieJuan talked about every 3 seconds. Peace ☮️ Finally.

I really don’t like calling people out, but this lib got banned and I was cracking up looking at the comments and threads they visited🤣. Within like 3 minutes of reading comments, they bought into Zenz’s Xinjiang Fable, they called us Stalinists, REFUSED to answer whether they’d send tanks to Hungary or not…(sus😨) and basically had a funny way of typing everything so poetically. Realistically this was just a lib who found this site, but for a few minutes I thought they were a troll or someone using an alt account as a joke. So proud of you comrades for identifying a wrecker when you see one🫂🤗

I was listening to an ep of the Deprogram where they talk about how in China, many people have translated Hakim and Yugopnik’s videos into Chinese to understand Marxist discourse from around the world. I’m a lil jealous because they said it doesn’t happen much the other way around, most Chinese resources are not translated into English. I would like to learn more about Chinese resources on Marxism and modern Chinese takes on anti-Imperialism, I tried looking up Chinese sources and surprise surprise, it’s in Chinese and is not really translated well, barely intelligible in the translation I found. I’ll find the link if I still can. TL;DR Where to find good translations of Chinese resources on Marxism?

🤢I need a bag, I’m gonna hurl, especially in the comments🤮

I’m a big fan of Reggae, have been since I was a little kid, my mom loved it. I would suggest a few songs but they don’t fit Tankie Tunes so much, this one is great tho. Ever since I’ve become an ML I’ve loved this song and wanted to share it with the comrades who possibly never heard this version before(it is a fairly popular rendition so I’m sure this is more of a revisiting for some). Enjoy✌️

So I had a convo w a lib recently and they said that I am hypocritical to have jeans or enjoy American TV and movies or enjoy anything in American culture or American inventions if I dislike the way our country is run and the state of our culture and politics. So I gave a few examples of things they like that would make them “hypocritical” by that logic. I said that they shouldn’t be allowed to eat ice cream or play Skyrim (umm no dragons for you, those are Chinese and Korean by origin) no more satellites because the big bad Soviets sent Sputnik. I obviously let them know I don’t actually believe that and they should be allowed to wear and eat and play what they want without having to tiptoe on eggshells around nonexistent ideological barriers. But just out of curiosity, what would be other examples of cultural influences or inventions that Libs/conservatives would have to divest themselves of(if they followed this dumb logic they way that they expect us to)?
