A law that applies to all ethnicities except non-Muslims is for no other purpose than to further the agenda of the fascist goverment's plan of a "Hindu state", as such, the idea of such an ethnostate is extremely reactionary. Although the states where CPI (Marxist) has control won't implement this, so that is an extremely rare W by them. Modi's continous rule over the nation as well as the military occupation of Kashmir is bound to be the destruction of the Hinduvta project
The world was peaceful when I was a child because I didn't know what the world outside really was, the world to me back then was just my home, yet it wasn't really peaceful, it was hell because of fighting, alcoholism, the usual trauma a child faces.
The world as I see it now is a shithole, but precisely due to it being a shithole did I discover how to really love, and do it correctly. Love people, love animals, love nature. You can relate this to how the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and its efforts to maintain the status quo precisely due to its contradictions gives the proletariat everything necessary to fight. But I'm isolated right now, I don't really have anyone here, but I have more than enough love that is going empty due to not that many people being there to give it to, which I think of as a contradiction.
Marx says how you can't liberate others without liberating yourself, or at least I think he was the one who said it, but I see it as a contradiction with what I say here, that you can't liberate yourself without liberating others. The solution here precisely lies in the act of liberation. You don't liberate others necessarily during dialogue, during educating yourself through everyone, neither do you necessarily liberate others during this long, tiring process of waging a war. But people liberate each other. I think I got this from Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire, which I recently finished. I see its influence on the words I typed out in the post just as I'm typing this right now lol, its a really good work that talks about education through dialogue, criticizing the banking mode of education (used in college, schools, etc) as preserving the status quo. He uses examples from Mao's cultural revolution to say that cultural action is a process of education that has to start before, and not after taking power. I can't describe everything ofcourse, its a short read, around 150 pages and I'll recommend it.
I think I lost track there and switched topics, anyways, that's about it, hope I was able to explain why I wrote that. I just write things and finish it off whenever I'm not in a particularly good mood. I think you should understand it for yourself too, instead of relying on my explanation. Your subjective perspectives of a work (or anything) also matters as much as that of the creator.
Anyways, have a good day!
sorry this is so funny to me thinking of a situation where someone's partner is mad at them, tells them they need space, starts crying while staring at a page of Capital Volume 1 in Arial size 25 and saying out loud "at least you wouldn't do this to me"
okay, I have to ask
"large Marxist texts"
does this mean works with relatively high number of pages (unlikely), or does this mean your partner has relevant texts from Marxists framed on the wall with a huge font size (likely)?
If I'm embarrassed by any of my partners pulling the shower curtain (as if there needs to be one, but for the sake of it, let us imagine there is), and seeing me jerk off, then they aren't my partner.
This is a purely non-antagonistic contradiction, regardless of your opinions on the PCP. As for the RGS, they maintain a political line, which you have to follow if you want to get in, like any other party.
Maybe start by studying PCP, they have multiple volumes from the 1960s till now. But for that you have to study M&E, Lenin then Mao.
As for the answer, Maoist analysis is that there is always potential of an inner bourgeoisie forming within the party, because class struggle continues under socialism, and the bourgeoisie will do anything they can to gain power back. If that is universal, then so is Maoism. Continuous purges are necessary, and the proletariat needs to get rid of the existing remenants of capitalism not just in the economic base, but in the cultural superstructure as well. I don't think it is any different from what Stalin did, and I hold that this is the praxis of Gramsci's theory of cultural hegemony.
I don't really think anyone should look at self-identified Maoists on twitter and call them dogmatic, endless debates will not result in anything, the internet is not the class struggle. I think you should talk more with RGS, I don't hold them in any negative way, I've heard decent things from them. They are student groups afterall.
they deliver consistent information about the various class struggles around the world, so I don't really have any negative opinion about them
100 updoots and I will make this my Phd thesis once I get in next year

To nobody, thin air, and the universe
The motor cortex in the brain activates
yet my mouth stays silent
"Something, get something out
Contribute so that you don't feel like a creep" My heart, screams those words
yet the action feels nothing short of a dream
What do you want me to do? How can I be here, in this world
in this room
where I cannot feel like I belong
My heart believes in me, still it does
I'm alive, that's proof of it
Maybe there's just something not right in me
Why won't the words come out
Maybe I unconsciously know it won't lead to anything
A friend, but one that stays in my mind
I'm trying so hard, I still continue to
feels like I'm eating nothing but failures
You know, when I walk, I see the people as dots
small, black dots
not because I see them as obstacles
but I see myself as one
If someone could tell me they see me
Me trying would mean something I feel like I'm going insane
Because when it rains
I see nothing but tears
"Don't do it now, there are people here"
Not like it matters, I'm not there in the room, even if they see me
"Okay, you're alone now, let it out my friend" All of it saying is my heart
Does it really matter anymore if I give away to my isolation or if I give it my all to socialize
what is the difference? is there any that meets the mere eye?
The very essence of a human being is one to connect
Social animals, as they say
I am one too
but deprived of all the social means that make me a human
Am I even a human anymore?
Why do I exist
I scream and I scream but nobody cares
because nobody is there
I've told this countless times
that I feel like an invisible soul
Like the shore besides the sea
its waves, beautiful crescendo of waves
but alas its midnight
Midnight is every second for me
Maybe I should be trying harder
I just don't know what to do
for now I lay in the bed, alone in my room
as my heart soothes me with tunes
and tells me that it is too soon
"When the time comes, so shall your fortune" Empty words don't have empty meanings
the meaning is simply that the heart has given up too

It matters how if I read today or tomorrow Won't change the world, nor my sorrow Give me happiness, and my love you can borrow
A world of snakes is all it is A few who're not also don't exist Come in my life and I'll believe your will
Happy friends is all it takes For me to stay awake for just this time, to let me say that I won't die, and to mean it this time Because I can be saved by you if I tried anyway But you, my love exist so far and you, my friend don't exist at all So what's the point besides the fall I won't be saved by the time you call
Knife, roof, or pills you choose and I'll oblige until Until you face my eyes and slap my face for even trying to think of this as a waste
but you aren't here, and you aren't there you are a screen who I just fear won't come true and I'll just sear over the skies waiting
not you I blame but if at least if I had others like yourself to keep me sane someone who would come by the lane when it rains, no raincoat but only us to blame getting wet as we laugh away the pains it is all in my head and like everything that is this is also to go in vain
so again, I repeat, pills, roof, or knife so that I can not submit to this life "none" you would say and I'll continue this strife
When will it forever end, I've chanted since the beginning I fear it has already made its way to the past I keep repeating and inventing new endings when I'm only creating the preludes to something more and more destructive in me
Why can't I just be free? From this entity called time.
Only time will tell Until then, be my friend? Alas I'm only talking to walls Just for the millionth time I hope there is someone behind them

this is mostly related to what is brought up in Origin of Family. Class society was historically progressive due to the evolution in generalized commodity production, however, it also brought about a contradiction of private accumulation. I bring up this being related because primitive societies lived as a community with a matrilineal framework, and the contradiction of private accumulation (origin of private property), coincides with the first class division, that between man and woman, which starts the eventual alienation of the working class from their labour, from others, and effectively from themselves.
"In an old unpublished manuscript written by Marx and myself in 1846 I find the words: “The first division of labour is that between man and woman for the propagation of children.” And today I can add: The first class antagonism that appears in history coincides with the development of the antagonism between man and woman in monogamous marriage, and the first class oppression coincides with that of the female sex by the male. Monogamous marriage was a great historical step forward; nevertheless, together with slavery and private wealth, it opened the epoch that has lasted until today in which every step forward is also relatively a step backward, in which prosperity and development for some is won through the misery and frustration of others."
"We liberated Europe from fascism, but they will never forgive us for it" ~Georgi Zhukov
damn that's crazy, anyways, any of my trans and NB comrades want to hop into tf2 and legally convert everyone into a femboy?
Although Franz Joseph Gall made an important contribution to neuroscience proposing the functional localization of specific psychological traits, his analysis was far from correct, leading to the pseudoscientific field of phrenology.
The direct consequence of phrenology can be seen as a talking point for a specific community on the internet known as "incels" who attribute size of the body parts of man (and in many such cases, to that of women) to intelligence and strength. This is nothing but a very misogynistic argument that is the result of patriarchal capitalism.
Recent studies have found such "incel" talking points in twitter.com users to analyse politicians, and it is a future implication to research how these two areas intersect
I'm revisiting my fav. clips from my fav piece of art of all time, Bojack Horseman. And I'm crying again. This show means so much to me, yet its so depressing. I find it so fucking funny, yet so sad, that the protagonist's life is one full of suicidal ideations and depression, and that is with a shit ton of addictions. And here I am, feeling the same without any of that, it was like I was made to feel shallow and empty, it was like my soul was never born with my body. The character is toxic to everyone and to himself, out of which his relationships are all dysfunctional. I'm not toxic, yet I feel dysfunction in my relationships and with myself, even though that may not truly be the case. I'm so fucked up. I can never convince myself that someone truly will cry like I am crying right now, for me, if I jumped. I can never convince myself that someone can selflessly love me and care for me. All that exists in my mind is a sense of extreme doubt and paranoia. All that exists in my heart is a love I give for others without any question, which I can't really receive without my own delusions intervening. I cannot receive love. I feel it but I'm not loved because I don't believe one ounce of it. I am so embarrassingly fucked up. It's so funny.
but hey, at least I have a favorite show, and I found my favorite song out of it. Let's rejoice.

There are bigger things happening right now, and this isn't particularly important to me. This is just for people who talk to me regularly/casually, want to talk to me, refer to me in conversations, or anyone vaguely interested.
Around the middle to end of last year was when I realized that the patriarchal monogamous nuclear family that capitalism pushes on everyone isn't really for me.
Lately I've felt the same for the concept of gender, gender norms and (especially) the binary that is pushed on, specifically for the purpose of division of labor between the nuclear cishet family (which effectively functions as private property) and to exploit the woman to an even greater extent.
So yeah, fuck it.
Pronouns for now are they/he. Will move on to they/them once I feel more comfortable.
Don't give this too much importance anyway, I'd rather you read Wretched of the Earth instead to get a better understanding of what's going on.
you can message me if you want a pdf.
BYE!
What the Great October Socialist Revolution did was put the power in hands of the people, and started its construction of a world without any class struggle, or a state to divide classes. It shattered the illusion of oppression being the only reality, and paved the way towards proletarian internationalism. Today is indeed one of the days that shook the world.
Lenin walks around the world
Frontiers cannot bar him
Neither barracks nor barricades impede.
Nor does barbed wire scar him.
Lenin walks around the world
Black, brown, and white receive him.
Language is no barrier.
The strangest tongues believe him.
Lenin walks around the world.
The sun sets like a scar.
Between the darkness and the dawn,
There rises a red star.
~Langston Hughes
I thought I hated one of my lecturers, he seemed like he thought too much of himself as an academic, morally superior or whatever, and he has been cold to me a couple of times. I looked at his twitter and he retweeted some pro palestine shit and one related to RATM so I guess you shouldn't really judge a book by its cover eh?
even if it isn't much this is a start, I don't think he's a hardcore Marxist or whatever but even by retweeting this shit in the imperial core he is risking his job, which is a huge start.
Would you like to see partnerships of lemmygrad/hexbear with leftist internet personalities for projects and events to bring leftists together and act as a common platform for a united and more accessible internet left?
