In the US Undergraduate commonly refers to a bachelors in my experience. Usually folks specifically say associates degree if that's what they are referring to

There was a brief live action Dresden files on the Sci Fi channel iirc

Didn't know he's been in Red Nation as well, but the Rev Left interview was super interesting. Really looking forward to reading this one

Thanks for elaborating and the tone indicator. I had to look up what sealioning even is - I certainly wasn't trying to tone police you, I was just asking you to clarify your tone since I couldn't infer it from your original post and it clearly mattered.

I have no way of knowing how you feel or what your intentions were when you replied and really thought I was going out of my way to politely ask for clarification while pushing back with some critique. I stand by what I said that you should be more direct but in hindsight I should have phrased it differently - suggesting you were lib or socdem rather than more directly saying that your original post (if it was in earnest, which you have clarified it wasnt to some extent) smacked of a form of liberalism was not a very useful shorthand, and I apologize for that.

No harm was meant in my original reply to you, i was really earnestly asking for clarification. Thanks for spending the time clarifying comrade.

No need to put yourself or your efforts down! This is a piece of agitation and education, and its always good to hear a comrade not leaving their politics at the door because its socially problematic or inconvenient. In some of my own relationships I've struggled with towing the revolutionary line (its a work in progress as always), but I do always try to push back on liberal and fascist narratives + educate and agitate when folks I know bring them up. Are you involved in any orgs?

FWIW most of my agitation time is spent with a local org where we use a variety of tactics to attempt to educate, agitate, and organize, and that feels (in a purely vibes based way) much more effective since we can reach a much larger audience and community members we've never met before. We do struggle with organizing actions to try getting folks on the ground and organized not feeling effective at times (or being somewhat liberal in nature, even if the rhetoric is revolutionary), and I would love to hear from other orgs on how they have successfully turned well meaning libs into thoughtful communists consistently.

Thank you comrade! Really appreciate the thoughtful response and links.

Can't really tell what the intended tone of this is. Kinda reads like you're calling me a lib for using the word "involved." If this is meant as a joke, all good, I appreciate that we are all dealing with shit atm.

If this is meant as actual critique I would urge you to be more direct, as your post stands now this reads like a reddit comment or a very liberal critique from a disingenuous socdem.

Certainly in agreement with that, and hopefully many users of the bear site and other adjacent instances are involved with, or getting involved with, their local orgs. It's also crystal clear that USAmerican leftists do not currently know how to pull the masses towards the direction of liberation. I guess I'm personally looking for tactics and strats that folks on the ground are using and how they are working or aren't working so people outside of those hyper local contexts can re-apply effective tools in their own cities.

 

Again, no fedposting. What the hell are we doing here USAmericans? are any folks getting more involved with their communities at least?

Obviously not all of us are in epicenters of obvious or extreme violence, but what are ways principled communists are stepping up?

No fedposting!

Are there any specific ICE monitoring sites that your communities have started consistently using? Asking because I starting building one (not running publicly) but would rather avoid splitting labor across many projects if I could just make use of and/or contribute to an existing site.

All sites or apps are appreciated, particularly if its seeing consistent use! I'm hoping to get some folks in my area plugged into something.

fwiw, what I was/am looking at building is a privacy focused, web-app only, 1 button "report a sighting" that could allow someone to send off a quick report OR they can follow SALUTE to do a more detailed report.

For real though I'm tired of being alienated from my labor. Does anyone here have experience working with or starting a worker coop?

 

Ahoy comrades! Is anyone aware of any resources for learning Spanish for folks involved in organizing? It would be especially awesome if it was in the style of Dreaming Spanish, but I'm open to any suggestions.

Without giving away personal or org information, what are you and your orgs doing with respect to NSPM-7 announced a few days ago? Any changes to what actions your orgs may consider down the road? Suggestions for tightening up opsec? Any union (labor, tenant, or otherwise) members foresee this impacting any ongoing union work?

 

Hey comrades, does anyone know of any decent resources on how effective vanguard parties structured themselves prior to and during revolutionary periods?

I'm open to any resources but am thinking of specifically things like committees, mass line work, and sort of day to day operations.

Before anyone says anything, obv we can't copy their tactics and strategies 1:1 but I'm not even familiar enough with their tactics and strategies to do that.

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have advice on installing 32bit packages on 64bit systems?

I have tried several times to setup Rocksmith 2014 with wineasio using this guide (and a couple of others, but this seemed like the best one), but it seems to be a little out-of-date. After rebuilding my system wineasio is installed, but only the 64 bit version of the library is installed (the 32 and 64 bit windows dlls are both present, but I assume that those are just copied over for either version of the wineasio package). The script linked in this section fails to find i386-unix/wineasio32.dll.so , and I have not been able to locate it or figure out a way to install it.

I've particularly focused on this section of my nix config:

 programs.steam = {
    enable = true;
    package = pkgs.steam.override {
      extraLibraries = pkgs: [ pkgs.pkgsi686Linux.pipewire.jack ]; # Tried pkgs.pkgsi686Linux.wineasio here
      extraPkgs = pkgs: [ pkgs.wineasio ]; # Also tried pkgs.pkgsi686Linux.wineasio here
    };

but I'm not really sure what to change here or even quite what to search for in the docs.

Probably not very helpful, but this is the latest error I've seen when just trying to insert pkgs.pkgsi686Linux.wineasio into that package declaration:

error: Package ‘wine-wow-10.0’ in /nix/store/pgg4vm83q0kr4hxzcwhdgdiv2yfnh3dw-source/pkgs/applications/emulators/wine/base.nix:194 is not available on the requested hostPlatform:
         hostPlatform.config = "i686-unknown-linux-gnu"
         package.meta.platforms = [
           "x86_64-linux"
         ]
         package.meta.badPlatforms = [
           "x86_64-darwin"
         ]
       , refusing to evaluate.

Any advice on how to troubleshoot this? Solving this would be nice, but learning how to fish would be even better.

Thanks in advance!

 

We have these 2 paver steps that are awkwardly tall. I'd like to add 2 steps to this by adding another layer of pavers to the lower step here, then adding 2 steps going off of that.

Would it be a bad idea to just lay the new steps directly on the existing ground level patio steps?

I've seen mixed guidance on using construction adhesive vs just polysand. Any thoughts on that?

 

“This sends a message all the way up to the top,” one of the US officials told CNN. “Seizing the foreign head of state’s plane is unheard-of for criminal matters. We’re sending a clear message here that no one is above the law, no one is above the reach of US sanctions.” ... “We see these officials and the Maduro regime basically fleecing the Venezuelan people for their own gain,” the US official said. “You have people who can’t even afford a loaf of bread there and then you have the president of Venezuela jetting around in a high-class private jet.”

Considering the electoral college exists and America effectively has 1 party, Venezuala should take Air Force One after the next American election. The election wasn't free or fair afterall.

 

Anyone familiar with the Cincinatti Metro area? I have an opportunity to potentially move there and would really appreciate any tips y'all might have.

Things I'm trying to keep in mind:

  • relatively close to some type of left organizing (<30 min drive). There might be a local DSA or PSL chapter, not sure how active though
  • diversity
  • dog friendly
  • walkable/bike able for errands / parks / poi
  • public transportation
  • safe to have gender bending presentation in the neighborhood

I've heard good things about:

  • Oakley
  • Covington
  • Bellevue
  • Hyde Park
  • Newport
  • Silverton
  • a few others whose names aren't coming to mind

The KY side seems more outwardly conservative (some pockets of pride flags tho) but is also significantly less expensive

Any areas that yall would recommend looking at?

 

If this is against instance or community rules just let me know and I'll remove it.

Are there any groups to get involved with to do tech support or create tech solutions for organizers? I do organize with some local groups, technologically and otherwise, and it seems like it would be helpful to see what cross cutting concerns are and cross pollinate solutions.

Obviously, please don't doxx yourself or others to answer this.

 

Are there any well sourced works regarding the Kronstadt Rebellion?
