🇨🇺 General Discussion Thread - Juche 113 Week 01 Día de la Liberación Edition 🇨🇺
Comrades Please sit down, take a celebratory box of Cuban cigars and a bottle of Cuban Rum, so we may Celebrate Cuban Liberation Day together 🇨🇺 ! As Comrade Castro said "If you smoke, you can smoke them; if you have any friends who smoke, you can share with them; but the best thing you can do with this box of cigars is give them to your enemy", we do have donation boxes for the Yankees, Zionists and Fascist at the front.

Oh, and I have also been informed I should to wish you a happy new year, and a good Juche 113, but lets be honest, we are all here for Cuban Liberation day right?
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm so excited to go home today. I've spent the holidays with my family and at first it was pleasant but living on the commune I just got so used to all the open space and nature. I feel like I've been trapped in a tiny box for the past month. I can't wait to see my comrades again. 😭
You live in a commune?
Yeah we're a Marxist agricultural commune in the US. I take care of goats and sheep and shit, might be getting rid of the sheep soon though because the ram is a dangerous asshole and none of the ewes will let him hit which kind of defeats the purpose of having him.
What's a "ewe"?
Female sheep
So can't you just get rid of the ram, then? Instead of all the sheep?
Their wool doesn't make a lot of money, we were hoping to sell lambs to make a bit more but as it is right now we can't keep them just to sell their wool twice a year because we don't break even with the amount we have to spend on feed, dewormer, minerals, etc..
Edit: I just realized the implication of replacing him with a different ram, but the reason we're not doing that either is because we're about to have a child born on the commune and rams are extremely dangerous.
Okay that's a good reason to get rid of the ram for sure, if it is a danger to the child. How about keeping one sheep for good luck, cuddles and floofyness? (I'm being stupid. I realize life on the commune is guided by more realistic principles than floof and cuddles)
I wish we could but sheep are social animals and need to have at least one other sheep buddy to be happy :<
I have a little sheep plushie at least that is sufficient in cuddlyness and floofyness for when I do start to miss them ;~;
Wow that's amazing, would love to hear more!
You can find me on Matrix as @catfish:genzedong.xyz and you can ask me all the questions you want!
"Marxist commune based on animal capital / animal slavery" is a new one for sure.
I got bad news for you about agriculture in every single AES country then.
brb telling the hawaiians to shut down ancient fishpond reconstruction because fishing for food is now basically slavery and genocide
damn they got hands
I am an important part of the labor movement, and people like me
Militant veganism seems to always loop back around to anti-indigenous, glad you noticed it too.
It is just anti-international in general imo, the time is not yet right. In many parts of the world people are still trying to increase their living standards, and to them that means eating more meat. In some cuisines, small amounts of meat are integral in many dishes. In some places in the world, the only thing you can eat are animals because plants do not grow (extreme example, I know). Veganism is a lofty ideal and we should work towards it, but imposing it now on a wide variety of people who live off the land in their traditional ways (all over the globe) is anti-development and primitivist (imo). Of course I do not want factory farming and mass animal exploitation, but fortunately traditional methods of agriculture are not so exploitative. When those systems do develop, I think the best thing is to just develop past them as fast as possible. It doesn't feel right to me to deny these developments outright
One of the people who convinced me to become vegan and care about animal liberation, is tohono o'odham . Either way its incredibly dishonest to justify treating animals as commodities when you yourself have other options not available to pre-agricultural historical indigenous peoples.
I'm Nanticoke dickhead, and no I don't. Living in rural areas this is what you do to survive. Quit pretending to know my conditions.
If you really want to start an anti-vegan / anti-animal-liberation struggle session, be my guest. Animals are comrades tho, not commodities, no matter how much you want them not to be.
