  • I already don’t give a shit what 90% of the politically illiterate say on social matters related to culture war/identity politics; why would I care about young, strong men in this matter when I already know plenty more who are already working with local orgs and are educated in Marxism or are even sympathetic to the message? Why is “young strong men” being singled out here in the first place when I’ve seen women, enbys, etc do the same amount of work?

    Sure, the guy who made a career actively talking down on women, encouraging “masculinity” and has a video of him abusing somebody is just getting smeared by the matrix. Right. Take another hit, man.

    Let me make this simple for you: how do you trust an authoritarian government to provide correct suicide rates? Do you think north korea wants people to believe their citizens are unhappy or happy?

    You dismiss a “personal opinion” and then try to provoke them to make more on an obvious communist website? Holy shit, what a joke.

    “People killing themselves because they wanna live less is a personal opinion”

    Fucking actually made me laugh

    Another drooling hit from Sh.itjust.works!

    “NUH UH I CAN’T TRUST CPC OR NK NUMBERS” why? They’re totalitarian and authoritarian? So is America. They lie about numbers? America doesnt? Every single criticism you land here could be applied to the shithole capitalist country you live in twice or four-fold. So, what is the actual reason you don’t believe them?

    Because they’re just North Korean? What? You believe the shit that is said about the country?






  • You really do love deflection like the rest of your party that you claim “like-mindedness” over. Multiple times I explained to you my own experiences while not denying anyone elses, provided sources and other experiences similar to mine from a thread entirely dedicated to your party’s bullshit and in response you kick and scream like a toddler claiming Prolewiki, Reddit, this website and “third-pillars” convenient to your own generalizations while decrying false Marxists. No wonder your party is seen as a joke; you must be the jester?

    I found this community on my own. Was banned from Reddit over two years ago before I knew what “chapo”, hexbear or lemmygrad even was. So, in a GENERALIZATION, yes, I’m from Reddit. The crazy thing though, I was a communist before I discovered Reddit. Weird how that works. Bit different now, eh?

    Also, chauvinism isn’t anything you don’t like.

    Fucking pathetic. Shapiro would be proud at your demonstration of facts and logic against the false internet Marxists.

    There is no justification for condemning resistance to genocide.

    Gotta love CPUSA chauvinism. God damn pesky Maoist internet communists! Talking about generalizations, aren’t we? I must have zero experience and be a “rival Marxist” because I disagree with you. What a fucking joke.

    Also, fun fact; I’m not from Reddit. I had history there; but was banned years ago. I found this community on my own. What about generalizations, again? Of course I’ve been rude to you. Condemning Hamas is settler bullshit. Combine that with towing the voting line, of course you have “rival Marxists”.

    I didn’t clarify that, correct, misuse of words. You have a point there, my mistake.

    Joe Sims condemned Hamas. On the thread itself, CPUSA members were laughable in the attempt to console people or even provide for an explanation or justification for the leadership decisions. https://lemmygrad.ml/post/4773761?scrollToComments=true Right there, you can see examples of what I talked about, in people being consoled that local leadership/organization tends to be more radical than the leadership. Another generalization, sure; but it’s literally there for you to see and what other people’s experiences are with CPUSA.

    You’re going to look me in the eye and tell me that the average communist agrees with that; that alone isn’t a remarkable difference between “leadership” and a massive chunk of communists who don’t compromise with Genocide or disavow the ones resisting it? Over what is one of the many important issues that we have and then aligning with the democrats like they did in the 80s to “vote away fascism!”? Come on.

    That’s…my experience. Generalization if you put it broadly over others but I didn’t. I linked above to what I said earlier and other experiences with CPUSA that are similar. Perhaps, you being a member, can help me understand on why people SHOULD feel differently than from what I experienced than summarizing it as “well, that’s a generalization” when I said it was MY experience that I didn’t put over anyone else.

    Also, I don’t moderate, edit or control any levers or anything regarding ProleWiki. Did you know there was a suggestions thread/box for ProleWiki? I didn’t see you there.


  • What? In my area CPUSA disavowed the Democrat line. I didn’t say members disliked them, either; just that they disagreed on a few decisions the leadership made. When I say “salted” I don’t mean they salted anyone; but people tend to be more radical at the grassroots level and have their own disagreements compared to the actual leaders of the party itself. Often from other parties or socialist ones.

    I didn’t say ignore FRSO either…just that I have no experience with them and I wouldn’t speak on them if I had no experience.



  • The last part, could you elaborate more? It covers a lot of international movements and socialist history. I don’t think it’s focused towards the U.S at all; just that a lot of the common mythos about communism tends to come from the United States or the West in general. Do you feel it’s not focusing enough on other nations or organizations?

    Fair criticisms, but in the same sense; I think the leadership/upper echelons of CPUSA leadership might deserve some criticism themselves. Plenty of us understand more local branches are more serious nor willing to compromise with the Democrat Party. What exactly about their writings on FRSO do you not like?

    I think you also should realize ProleWiki has only a small group of people working on it. There is threads discussing on development and writing for it. Have you ever participated in those?


  • One thing I wanted to note, while expensive now, 3d printing is gonna annihilate a lot of these steep entry costs when it becomes easier to use/to afford. Can’t wait to see it happen.

    Growing up I was lucky my dad was a machinist. Being on the border of millenial and Gen Z a lot of the old windows XP shitters were getting tossed out with some pretty hefty graphics cards for the time for CAD and design. When we had electricity it was pretty nice to be able to play space pinball and learn how to use a computer. Without that, I probably would’ve never been interested in the internet; for the better or for the worse.
