I uphold his theoretical contributions. My disagreements are everything after that.

Im a different flavor of communist than the folks you see on hexbear and grad. Not a stan of DPRK or China. Not fond of the later years of the USSR. I don’t support modern day Russia in any conflicts it’s involved in either.

The way these people act in their day to day life has virtually nothing to do with their position on historical events.

At this rate, randos are gonna have to spend hours at a time analyzing if a single meme posted on the internet is AI, just to accomplish absolutely nothing.

Looks good OP.

Shit happens. Plenty of westerners have visited and been fine too.

TY!

To clarify: I have certain expectations that I hold a socialist country to. The best case scenario would be that the DPRK meets all my expectations and is a socialist paradise. I have no belief that the DPRK does or does not meet those expectations.

XHS? Is this some kind of app?

I do wish finding information about them was easier. It always ends up being a game of believing either the US state department, or the DPRK. Obviously can’t trust a word the US says, but I remain skeptical of what the DPRK says in a guided tour or in a glorified advertisement showing off a single new apartment building.

Would absolutely love to visit some day though. At worst, they don’t live up to my expectations of a socialist paradise and are just like any other country. At best, they exceed my expectations and I become a follower of Juche. 😂

It takes work, and it takes emotional patience with people. Screaming at the top of our lungs that we must have revolution does nothing. We must be teachers first, show the masses that their attempts at reforms are failing. If they are rational at all, they will listen. If they are not rational, getting angry and scolding them does nothing.

The western left (and I self-criticize when I say this because it applies to me as well) tends to be very infantile, very impatient, and has relatively low levels of militancy within it. I’m a full on hoxhaist. I have a very specific view on what I want socialism to look like, and what strategies I believe are actually beneficial. That being said, if I spend the bulk of my time engaged in disrespecting other tendencies instead of doing literally anything I will never see the world I want. No bunkers will be built, and I will be sad. ☹️

The average person just wants to see us do something. How often do communist parties in the west actually organize things themselves as opposed to hopping onto some liberal groups thing? If we can’t even, for example organize our own red aid in a remotely comparable way to what some rando charity is doing, we got a long ass way to go ya know? There is hardly room to bicker and try to dictate peoples lives and views until we’ve proven to be a force of good.

Here in the US i’ve been told about people being forced to walk on hot coals and having lighters burn the palm of their hand as long as they can handle. Kids have literally killed themselves at these camps. Fuck the idea they should just be illegal, any parent that puts their kid through this should get 10-15 in prison.

It was a hypothetical. Nobody is contributing to E-waste.

Is Russia being imperialist? Yes. Is Russia committing genocide? No.

That’s what I’m saying! It’s kinda awesome how long things get supported in linux land!

I just meant after support is dropped. The CIP I think supports each of its kernels for 10 years? So whatever the last kernel is before they officially drop support will still be maintained by them for a long time. :)

The great 5th head of Marxism, Enver Hoxha. His legacy of bunker building will live on!

If anyone is actually using a 486 still, you can try using the kernels that the CIP maintains https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cip/linux-cip.git They actually still support kernel 4.4

I’m very for used hardware, some of my stuff is dumpster finds. I just liked the thought experiment of replacing a hypothetical 486 pc with a brand new computer.

I saw the luckfox products on aliexpress and they definitely looked cool!
