Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

One of my slides for my presentation defines imperialism, using both Lenin and Parenti’s descriptions. Because of this I decided to take my male dog’s face and edit it onto Lenin to put on the slide.

It adds some humour, makes my slideshow visually interesting (most of the slides are plain), and it was a fun thing for me since I hate presenting. Plus he’s super cute. One day I will have to do the same to my other dog.

I have not done my presentation yet, it will happen in a few hours, but when I do I will let you all know how it goes.

Aww the bubby

Parenti’s descriptions.

What do you mean by his description of imperialism, ain't it the same as Lenin?

Yes, but what I meant was that I used his direct quote which has different words than Lenin, if that makes sense. I felt like his version would speak to my classmates a bit more than Lenin. Prolewiki’s article on imperialism helped me out a lot and I used Parenti’s quote that is cited on there, which is from Against Empire.

You’ll be sad to know that my fellow students did not find the picture of Dog Lenin as funny and sweet as I did.
