The less laughter you have, the more serious your revolutionary potential. That's why Stalin famously never smiled. Ever.

There are some wild opinions in the pro-side. It really seems like there's some rot buildup in the mod team, if all of these takes are getting posted for banning this content. Do they just hate this website and the community?

So many of these complaints are a) things that have been a part of the community for years, or b) smears against the community

Like seriously, if these are thoughts they have, why are they mods on this site?

I’ve been slowly learning more stuff about socialist history and the like, and I wanted to ask about the “Great Purge”. I only know kind of background things I’ve accumulated over the years, which are very likely warped and wrong given the whole propaganda machine and all that.

So yeah, any good sources to read more about it would be greatly appreciated, as well as potential critiques/justifications from a communist perspective. I know revolutionary violence is just part of taking and maintaining power, so I get that aspect. I do also see a lot of people got killed also, so imagine there’s a bit of debate either way on it.

Thanks for anything shared in advance!

This lady led a secret coup to depose the bourgeois government of the United States, installing a council republic with minimal bloodshed. Now, the next phase comes, to secure revolutionary power, and quell the counter revolution.

Girls rock.

Republican senators were alarmed and relieved when they learned that their colleague Sen. Joni Ernst had choked during a party lunch on Thursday and was rescued by Sen. Rand Paul, who gave her the Heimlich maneuver.

Ernst appeared to be making jokes about the experience on social media, tweeting, “Can’t help but choke on the woke policies Dems are forcing down our throats. Thanks @randpaul!”

“I didn’t actually see it,” said Sen. John Cornyn, a Republican of Texas. “We’ve had that happen one other time to one of our members. It’s kind of scary.”

Thank God. We almost had a tragedy. Imagine losing two American heroes in one day.

Thank you for your service, Mr. Paul. 07

In a move that critics are calling “one of the most tasteless events I’ve ever heard of,” Berkeley landlords are celebrating the end of eviction protections in the East Bay city with a cocktail party. The Berkeley Property Owners Association, a trade group for rental property owners in Berkeley, apparently believes regaining the right to throw people out of their homes is cause for celebration — or at least a networking event. The “Fall Social Mixer: Celebrating the End of the Eviction Moratorium” is set for the evening of Sept. 12; the event was first spotted by Berkeleyside.

About an hour passed before protesters entered the bar, at which point multiple fights broke out, Berkeleyside reported. According to one witness, a male BPOA member who attended the event slapped a female protester in the face and pushed her. Videos of the event show other violent altercations, including a protester knocking a party attendee’s eyeglasses off and a party attendee swinging their fist toward a protester.

Statement by the Landlord association:

“We condemn the actions of hostile dissidents who disrupted a private gathering at a local restaurant to intimidate, harass, and physically assault our members who are law-abiding small business owners,” read part of a statement, which was shared with SFGATE.

"Hostile dissidents" is some interesting phrasing for local residents chanting outside of a bar.

In the queue of about 130 people, only 20 are male. Men aged 18-60 are not allowed to leave Ukraine unless they qualify for an exemption. Four of those waiting are young lads who look close to turning 18. To avoid the risk of mobilisation, they must leave before then. Of course, some men find ways to get out anyway, legally or illegally. On August 11th President Volodymyr Zelensky announced he was sacking the heads of the country’s regional military recruitment centres, where officials were alleged to be selling travel permits for up to $10,000. “Bribery during war is treason,” Mr Zelensky railed.

In the initial period after the invasion most men trying to get across were driven by fear, says Colonel Trachuk. Now she reckons half are looking for work. But those trying to escape military service must live at risk of being apprehended by recruitment officers and press-ganged. At the beginning of the invasion Ivan, a 42-year-old musician in Uzhhorod, contemplated enlisting, but changed his mind when he saw coffins arriving. Now, he says, he is in constant fear of being called up: “I feel like I am hanging in the air.”

Sorry to :reddit-logo: post

The most recent Chapo episode covered and dunked on the New York Times and their transphobia regarding "debates" over trans healthcare. A bunch of people "just wanting to debate" rolled in, giving all kinds of wonderful takes that you can imagine.

For some reason, the mod team has been leaving their comments, and deleting some people dunking on them. Looking a little deeper, the new head mod installed after Mary was exiled is a stupidpol poster.

All in all, not great.
