First and foremost, absolutely fuck fiscal austerity and laissez-faire, there is nothing natural about this, only consequence of shit political choices, such as scraping environment disaster prevention, basically no relief efford funding, global warming denial and shredding of environment protection laws.

orientalism + drpk achievements like repelling us invasion, the country surviving the fall of east/socialist block but didn't manage to fully win the war to reunify the country like vietnam, so it's at a war state and doesn't take take many tourists from the west, adding all up, its easy to make up bullshit because no one will bother to check, the most wacky lies are taken as truth automatically.

one good example of this was a brazilian blogger that as a prank, made up that north korea was saying to it's citizens they won the 2010 soccer world cup with ridiculous scores and literally no one bothered to check, the "news" got replicated all over the west, when it was found that it was a prank the drpk embassy sent a thank you letter to him for exposing how shit western media was. it is a very interesting case.

recently i stumbled with this banger here https://blogdaboitempo.com.br/2024/03/27/pele-negra-alucinacoes-brancas-capitalismo-ia-e-racializacao/.

but it is on brazilian portuguese, even tho translation tool built in browser do the job, the article itself is of low circulation due to language and the target audience, so i want to know if there is a website where i can post a hand crafted translation to be easier to find for people outside brazil.

also im new into this kinda of thing, do i need to get permission from the author or something?

In mid January i posted about started to read Crime and Punishment, fast forward to some days ago, i finished it and now im trying to read Open Veins of Latin America by Eduardo Galeno.

I feel a little down because i took to long to finish the book, considering that I'm basically a neet, brazilian developer market is wild rn, so i got lots of freetime, but mostly spend it on the computer watching youtube and playing games, i try to cope myself thinking that partly this isn't completely my fault since i was a tv baby, and my education was lacking, teen years were spent playing video games basicaly (which is how i learned english), so i never read anything before making 23 (im 24 now), trying to pick up the habit now.

Now impressions so about Open Veins and divided, i like Galeano's writing style, he uses kinda of a poetic language to make it more engaging and to make you feel the tragedy, but the time and space constant jumping makes hard to follow the point, when he doesn't do it, damn it hits heavy, stuff i never heard about like brazilian military giving sugar poisoned with arsenic to natives.

Anyway, not gonna lie, even tho this book is crucial to understanding latin america, im procrastinating in reading marxist theory, so far after two years of discovering communist I've read only the manifesto and didn't understood much of it, alls i know is capitalism is shit and socialist countries did amazing things and i want those amazing things.

so, what you people think?

For nerd purposes I've been trying to custom compile Wine to see if i can squeeze some performance out of it, i pulled out the -g flag and put in its place -O3 with march native. i don't know how to benchmark properly to see if there at least a marginal gain, so idk if it is a placebo or not. tried to search for articles in the subject but found none

has anyone tried it or know an article that explored the subject?

funny about the so called "gay persecution" is that in the past when homophobia was the norm, people to demean socialists, accused then of being gay, lenin gay, stalin gay, trotsky gay, mao gay and so on.

now that homophobia isnt normal anymore (to homosexuals at least, trans and nb still tough) the discourse did a 180 and they now accuse socialists of hating, persecuting and executing gay people.

anyway, imagine when they discover that su criminalized marital rape in 1922

I'm not very advanced on theory so didn't read much what socialists leaderships wrote throughout mostly 20th century, so I'm not familiar about what albanian line is all about, all i know is they call themselves anti-revisionists and love to trashtalk post deng china, sometimes even mao (which is odd to me) and tito's yugoslavia.

this was brought to my attention because some subs here apparently don't like them very much at the same time that the fastest growing communist movement in brazil follow the anti-revisionism line.

so, what are your thoughts about it?

trust me on this comrade, the people that call you tankie or state bootlicker are not left at all. also, socialist countries do have mechanisms of direct democracy.

quick 5 minutes in any chinese media we see that socialism is alive and kicking.

my counsin often talks with chinese people on exchange apps, if there is one thing they complain is that the party is not left enough

same as every fascist to date, a deep capitalist crisis and the inefficiency of liberal democracy to keep it's word.

in short, argetina took some big ass loans to imf during their military dictatorship, so they are in a permanent crises since that.
