Hey y'all, looking for this article that was titled something like "Bernie couldn't have won" or "Bernie was always going to lose". Basically a structural analysis of why the media would always have ultimately sided with Trump etc. I'm actually looking for it mainly because it had a great comparison pic between rallies when he was running for the nomination versus when he started campaigning for Biden.

If you have it, thanks!

I could have sworn I remember seeing a book about Marxism and the occult mentioned here sometime. But when I look that up all I see is chud shit about le communism and Satan!!!@!

So, am I crazy or does a cool book about that topic exist somewhere?

My uncle asked me for a primer on socialism. I was thinking maybe Socialism Made Easy or Socialism: Utopian and Scientific. Anything that might be better?

For context my whole family are through and through vote blue liberals. It's sad to say but most of them didn't even like/vote for Bernie during the primary cycles. They aren't really hardcore anticommunists though and have always been good on unions and labor generally, moreso the problem is really anti-Trump/pro-Dem brainworms. Maybe there's something more modern to share that I don't know of.

I know we have the react wut ones, but it would be great if we had actual proper emotes for the top BPP members. If someone can let me know a good way to make my own I can try too, suggestions for good pictures also welcome.

I'm putting the emotes in this post to see if I can extract them at a high enough quality. Doubt it but we'll see.

Title says it. Where should I donate that will be the most effective to giving relief on the ground? I have seem some individual fundraisers but I'm not sure how that might translate to material relief given the invasion starting. Is the Occupied Palestinian Territoriy Fund legit and a good org to give money to?

Side note since the OPTF seems to he officially connected to the UN is that not a tacit admission that Israel is Palestinian Territory?

I appreciate everyone's responses a lot. I also think it was good to remove the post because there was some reactionary stuff in the google doc I linked. I found it through one of the articles that Bad Mouse's link led to, not in any of the other comments. I only looked at the "first hand accounts" links in the doc and didn't even double check what else there was so that's my error.

I had a feeling the take would be that there are certainly big flaws, as there are in any org, with any group of people, but PSL is still one of the few vehicles for socialist agitation that there actually exists, and by joining it we can help improve it.

I'm likely going to be moving to San Francisco when I'm back in the states in case anyone has recommendations about specific orgs in the bay that are certainly good.

Also I got to say Bad Mouse's ultra turn also bummed me out a little. It seems like such a baby leftist thing to do to just shit on a socialist party from across an ocean and then refuse to elaborate.
