Be aware of your own enjoyment of the site.

  • If you find yourself no longer having fun, do something else. There are many different comms on Hexbear, and many different ways to shitpost and have fun.
  • If the site as a whole is just not cutting it for you, take a break. We'll still be here when you get back. Nothing should compel you to stay.

I'd probably start by talking to whatever doctor you see for prescribed HRT. But as someone who transitioned 5+ years ago, the longer youre on HRT, the less this stuff matters.

I've always understood the grass to be allegorical, but i'm not a hexbear literalist, i do have a lot of photos of myself touching grass ironically tho

preemptively putting NSFW on this.

  • an uprising in a ghetto against a superior oppressive force
  • the ghetto destroyed in response, thousands arrested, deported, killed
  • the blame somehow falls on the people being oppressed

You don't have to dig hard to find contemporary people suggesting the Warsaw Ghetto uprising was a mistake and lead to innocent lives being lost, liberals and their proper processes, and civility, it never changes.

guess they should have voted harder. /s

Hey comrades,

Fully acknowledging the canvas event is silly, I've made a template for a hexbear logo on a trans flag, I've made this three times and finally gave up on the second canvas because of dorks destroying it for no reason. I'm trying to write HEXBEAR last because that seems to be the sticking point for people (lol)

direct link to template https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/96b43440-beb7-4f40-b160-4a58e1ef1196.png

I'll workout a good way to draw the hexbear logo when the canvas expands

Hey comrades, theres a local (to me) org RED ANT, doing an online conference on China titled China is not an enemy. Is China really an imperialist Country? - Saturday 13 July, 3pm (AEST)

Dont dox yourselves, but i'll email the org to let them know some online international nerds might rock up

I'm not involved, just sharing after I attended a conference they ran earlier in the year, they've done some talks in collaboration with the Party of Socialism and Liberation, they've also worked in collaboration with the United Socialists Part of Venezuela.

I just think they're neat!

 

If you haven't seen Nine to Five you should remedy that today! (edit, Content warning for sexual assault, misgoyny, drug use?)

A general election recently took place in Australia. The Labour Party, which had a majority in the Lower House—44 seats out of 75—was defeated. It now has only 36 seats out of 75. The majority has passed to the Liberals, but this majority is a very unstable one, because 30 of the 36 seats in the Upper House are held by Labour.

What sort of peculiar capitalist country is this, in which the workers’ representatives, predominate in the Upper house and, till recently, did so in the Lower House as well, and yet the capitalist system is in no danger?

Tap for remaining text

An English correspondent of the German labour press recently explained the situation, which is very often misrepresented by bourgeois writers.

The Australian Labour Party does not even call itself a socialist party. Actually it is a liberal-bourgeois party, while the so-called Liberals in Australia are really Conservatives.

This strange and incorrect use of terms in naming par ties is not unique. In America, for example, the slave-owners of yesterday are called Democrats, and in France, enemies of socialism, petty bourgeois, are called Radical Socialists! In order to understand the real significance of parties, one must examine not their signboards but their class character and the historical conditions of each individual country.

Australia is a young British colony.

Capitalism in Australia is still quite youthful. The country is only just taking shape as an independent state. The workers are for the most part emigrants from Britain. They left the country at the time when the liberal-labour policy held almost undivided sway there, when the masses of the British workers were Liberals. Even now the majority of the skilled factory workers in Britain are Liberals or semi-Liberals.   This is the results of the exceptionally favourable, monopolist position enjoyed by Britain in the second half of the last century. Only now are the masses of the workers in Britain turning (but turning slowly) towards socialism.

And while in Britain the so-called Labour Party is an alliance between the non-socialist trade unions and the extremely opportunist Independent Labour Party, in Australia the Labour Party is the unalloyed representative of the non-socialist workers’ trade unions.

The leaders of the Australian Labour Party are trade union officials, everywhere the most moderate and “capital serving” element, and in Australia, altogether peaceable, purely liberal.

The ties binding the separate states into a united Australia are still very weak. The Labour Party has had to concern itself with developing and strengthening these ties, and with establishing central government.

In Australia the Labour Party has done what in other countries was done by the Liberals, namely, introduced a uniform tariff for the whole country, a uniform educational law, a uniform land tax and uniform factory legislation.

Naturally, when Australia is finally developed and consolidated as an independent capitalist state, the condition of the workers will change, as also will the liberal Labour Party, which will make way for a socialist workers’ party. Australia is an illustration of the conditions under which exceptions to the rule are possible. The rule is: a socialist workers’ party in a capitalist country. The exception is: a liberal Labour Party which arises only for a short time by virtue of specific conditions that are abnormal for capitalism in general.

Those Liberals in Europe and in Russia who try to “teach” the people that class struggle is unnecessary by citing the example of Australia, only deceive themselves and others. It is ridiculous to think of transplanting Australian conditions (an undeveloped, young colony, populated by liberal British workers) to countries where the state is long established and capitalism well developed.

Not totally relevant while the blue tories still control the upper house, but you know

I've started reading Stalin: History and Critique of a Black Legend

Whenever I start reading a book I end up losing hours of my life in the footnotes, old mate Thomas wasn't perfect, but he certainly had some banging quips about nazis.

Those who, as the crisis of the Grand Alliance unfolded, had begun to compare Stalin’s Soviet Union with Hitler’s Germany, were harshly rebuked by Thomas Mann. What characterized the Third Reich was the “racial megalomania” of the self-styled “master race,” who had implemented a “diabolical policy of depopulation,” and even before that was the eradication of culture of the conquered. Hitler had thus adhered to Nietzsche’s maxim: “if one wants slaves, then one is a fool if one educates them to be masters.” Directly opposite was the orientation of “Russian socialism” which, by massively spreading education and culture, had shown that it did not want “slaves,” but “thinking people” and therefore, to be in spite of everything on the “path towards freedom.” It was, then, unacceptable to compare the two regimes. On the contrary, those who argued in this way could be suspected of complicity with fascism, which they also claimed to want to condemn:

To place Russian communism and Nazi-fascism on the same moral plane, in that both would be totalitarian, is superficial at best, fascism at worst. Whoever insists on this equation may well consider himself a democrat, in truth and in the bottom of his heart he is in fact already a fascist, and certainly only in a hypocritical and insincere way will he fight fascism, while reserving all his hatred for communism.”
