Uncritical support to comrade Deng in his heroic struggle to liberate the USian working class from their assigned gender o7

Yeah I've come to that realization as well, looking back I was just trying to rationalize it away. Thank you for reaffirming what I already kind of new deep down but didn't want to admit.

Just got home from Poker, won some money, and shared some good laughs so I'm feeling better now.

I'll take the advice others have given and just cherish the friendship without pushing anymore. As another user said the ball is in her court now and, as you say, she was indeed very polite with her denial, which is cool, so I'll try to take it in stride. She's still a great person and I'm blessed to have her in my life. There's really no point in ruining that just because I can't get over my ego. Thank you for the feedback comrade <3

I don't think anyone said Trump's policy is better, especially in regards to "Israel". Maybe Ukraine but there it's also just redirecting the US imperialist war machine towards China instead of Russia which isn't really better, just different.

If someone with a Nazi flag gets sent to your rally you kick them out. They are either ignorant or don't mind. Both are bad.

How do you refute the claim that Stalin asked to resign to "test the loyalty of MPs"

Whenever I put in the display name I want and hit the save button it doesn't actually save it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Exchange traded fund. It's basically a lot of different stocks bundled together into one Stock that you buy. It usally covers a specific part of the global market. So you can buy an ETF that represents the entire US market (this would be similar to buying stocks in every Dow Jones company), an ETF that represents the retail market (so you get shares of Walmart, Target, TraderJoes etc.), or in this case an ETF that represents the Weapons Manufacturing market (so Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Rheinmetall etc.).

Educate him. Explain that the USSR had many flaws but also did many great things. Have your sources ready and stay calm if they don't agree with you immediately. It is a long and tedious process but there is hope. Especially if their socdem, so they already understand the problems of capitalism they just don´t understand how to overcome them. And ALWAYS stay calm. Don't get mad. Never stop explaining comrade.

It obviously is but I'm having trouble finding good sources to argue this point. Especially statements of intent seem hard to find.

The Dutch elections are today. I was outside handing out Flyers to people on their way to vote. The Flyers broke down the different stances of the parties on Palestine, in the hopes people would vote for those that are pro-palestine. Is this reconcilable with the anti-electoralist stance I take as a Marxist?

This is what happens when your activism doesn't fit the western narrative anymore. Let's hope he learns his lesson, although I doubt he will.

Why or why not?

I'm the REAL leftist. Everyone else is revisionist or reactionary.

A close friend of mine fell into the manosphere rabbit hole after he broke up with his girlfriend. I've been trying my best to help him out of it but I haven't gotten anywhere. Is there anything I can do? Especially resources I could point him to, or resources that can help me develop a better deradicalization strategy would be very welcome.
