LeftoverSoup@lemmygrad.mlto Comradeship // Freechat@lemmygrad.ml•Is anyone else particularly bad about doing stuff on time?5·2 years agoI find that when there are others involved in a project, I tend to be much more productive. I don’t know if it’s fear of disappointing other people, but just having people relying on me doing my part makes my not wait til the last minute
Literately 1984?

I know I’m not alone feeling like this when I try to explain to friends what communism really is, and how it could free us from exploitation and save the planet from climate catastrophe.

LeftoverSoup@lemmygrad.mlto Death to NATO@lemmygrad.ml•Jens Stoltenberg doubles down on multiple lies to keep Ukraine suffering.9·2 years agoThis is what social democrats look like. Stinkyberg was the Prime minister of Norway representing Norways social democratic Party “the workers party”. Farting socialist terminology like “solidarity” and working class struggle. It’s all words for these morons. Tricking the proletariat to believe they are fighting their cause.
It’s probably a mix of many different views, but there’s probably a lot of Marxist leninists here. Me included.
Very few people are totally against working in general, it’s more that they’re against the current system of work/employment.
Marxism is in large a criticism of the employer employees relation. Or capitalist proletariat relation as it would be called in marxist terms. The critique is in in short terms pointing out the the fact that the workers themselves don’t own the means of production, and has to sell their labour to a capitalist, whom in turn takes the surplus value (created by the workers) for himself.
I can’t possibly write all Marxist theory on the topic here, but if it seems interesting, I would recommend reading up on it, or watching videos by well informed creators. Hakim (@yaboihakim on YouTube) is a great source of information on Marxism. And the communist manifest by Karl Marx is a very short and easily available book that has a great introduction to communism.
Hope this helps. And im happy to answer if you got more questions!

LeftoverSoup@lemmygrad.mlto Communism@lemmygrad.ml•Are there black marxists Youtube channels?0·2 years agoBelieve it or not, but I actually appreciate being corrected when it’s in good faith.
Absolutely. I’m just in the habit of pointing out anticommunist causes due to the widespread belief that Stalin himself caused the famine.
In soviet, lots of things happened. Firstly, famine was not uncommon in the first place. Countless deaths from famine was also the case before the October revolution. Just in the beginning of the1900’s there were famines in 1901, 1906 and 1911, and not long before that, there was a famine in 1891 which claimed 500k lives.
The collectivisation of agriculture often gets the blame for excessive deaths during the 1932 famine. It would be better to say that the landowners(Kulaks) reaction to the collectivisation caused excessive deaths. Millions of cattle and pigs were slaughtered and left to rot by the kulaks and crops were burned.
In spite of these sabotages, there were still farms that successfully collectivised and managed to meet the quota set during the famine. Even though Ukraine SSR have had had the infamous rumor of genocide against Ukraine during the famine, it was also here the reaction against collectivisation was strongest, and sabotages to food production destroyed around 50% of crops and cattle.
The famine was actually worse in Kazakhstan in terms of percentage of population. And there was never a claim of genocide taking place in this region. Guess not being a neighbor to the west isolated you somewhat to western propaganda.

Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism. They stick together because they are symptoms of the same illness. I too long for the day when the U.S empire is just a distant bad memory, tavarish.
