I’m not commenting on this specifically but in general: Just as a PSA, we leftists don’t think our intellectual leaders are gods, nor their writings as gospel. Read Marx, Engels, Lenin, etc. but understand that they’re only human and did not have a crystal ball.

They got so many things right but there are some wrong things…

It reminds me about how Zionists at a local college strongarmed the school to serve “Israeli salad” with a giant flag on it at every mealhall and students just don’t eat it and the school just has to throw it in the garbage all the time.

There’s plenty of sticks, like anything that supports Google TV, where you can use piracy software.

Even if it’s only a half-assed attempt at a boycott, it is a positive development as everyone is too cowardly to be the first ones.

What would a “Cuban oligarch” even look like?

What? That pikachu thing? Like Detective Pikachu I think?

What’s this purple cat nonsense?

You’re subject to the conditions of the world/country/city etc that you live in. Don’t believe capitalist propaganda, communism isn’t a vow of poverty. In the US the conditions still aren’t at the level (but things are rapidly moving) of the usefulness of a Vanguard Party but the Empire is punch drunk with multiple major wars lost, a declining economy, and a government increasingly desperate to keep things together through force.

For now, educate yourself and link up with entities that seek relief for what is possible in this poisoned nation.

Tbf, the Democrats had until June 24th to change their candidate, in theory it’s already over. But we all know how these things are… Mamdani was lucky that polls actually seriously underestimated his support, with reports of many “shy Mamdani voters” skewing results.

I think it’s more likely they’re just going to go all in on supporting Adam’s independent run as the “enlightened centrist”.

It’s clear Israel is deadset on the war. Iran might as well get on with it.

During the beginning of the COVID pandemic the USDA calculated what it would cost to give every American citizen with food insecurity a full nutritious diet, it came out to $190 billion a year if utilizing the current SNAP infrastructure or $100 billion if organized and distributed via US National Guard at the state level.

China before communism

So the poorest independent nation on earth at the time?
