It's probably a propaganda technique to make leftists see themselves as weak and ineffective. Dividing the left is great for the ruling class. Meanwhile dividing the right is not a priority because fascism is not a threat to capitalism.

In any political movement there is infighting. But unfortunately Conservatives and Fascists agree on way more than they disagree on and so can collaborate much easier.

Meanwhile on the left and supposed left, Communists, Anarchists, and Social Democrats, have fundamental disputes about tactics, and objectives making collaboration almost impossible.

Great book. Frantz Fanon is a legend.

 

I was wondering why the USSR is universally beloved among Marxist-Leninists but other AES states tend to be more controversial. So I looked into it.

Saved Europe from Fascism Abolished private property Abolished wealth accumulation Centrally Planned Economy, quotas, prices, wages, EVERYTHING State Atheism - BASED Universal Literacy First Man Into Space Public Healthcare Public Housing Public Transportation

Holy sea cow SpongeBob! Any anarchist would fall out of their chair if one of their projects achieved even one of these things.

What in your opinion are the greatest policies and achievements of The USSR?

Capitalism is an alienating and dehumanizing system. It would be strange NOT to be depressed in these circumstances. That means you are human.

I think that it is healthy to be intellectually, socially, and physically active. Scientists studying rats in cages consistently find that the rats in cages with toys and other rats are healthier and smarter than the rats without stimulation. Get involved with an activist group. Have friends over. Go for a walk. Read a good book.

Then also, progress is the key to happiness. Whatever your goals are, you haven't accomplished them yet, YET. Keep repeating that word: Yet. Take steps towards your goals every day so you have something to show for all this struggling.

I hope it gets better. Your twenties are hard, don't let anyone lie to you that they're the best times.

I doubt it. Probably just theater to manipulate the public.

I have been reading a textbook titled Marieb Human Anatomy and Physiology. It's for college. It's actually very interesting.
