Every election cycle liberals pull out the obnoxious food analogies. debord-tired

Chey Gweyvara, folks. What a guy! Brought down Crooked Fulgêncio, remember him? Boy, he was nasty, really NASTY guy, Fulgêncio. And the Cuban people said "get him out of there!" and they did, they freed Cuba. Nobody thought it could be done, but they did it. Then they made a big wall with Chey's face on it, that's how tremendous he was. He wasn't even Cuban, and they put his face on a big wall. And the lying media says he hated the gays, can you believe that? a-little-trolling

It's hard to directly compare games like this unless they're in the same genre, but Outer Wilds is what came to mind immediately.

who-did-this -style article titled "Yes, Ukraine has a Nazi problem" in which the author wonders how is it that nobody ever noticed the Nazi symbols the Ukrainian military has been using this entire time, and then explains how that relates to Zelensky's support for the terrorist Hamas terrorists who October 7-ed Israel on October 7.

Esmailelbob is also a reactionary.

Unfortunately every other instance on that list is either down all the time or most of the time.

How is the revolution remembered and used politically today?

A few years ago the mainstream right was doing the harmless Disneyfied version thing you mentioned. They would say the revolution gave us "freedom and democracy" and belongs to everyone, not just the left.

Nowadays they are getting more and more mask off about it. Chuds are embracing Estado Novo nostalgia and liberals frequently undermine the revolution by saying November 25th was just as important (minor revolt by some leftist troops that was put down by the government, but they act like it was an attempted communist coup to destroy Freedom™ and turn us into Cuba (sicko-wistful )). The right pretty much despises the entire 1974-1975 revolutionary period as some kind of barely averted communist dictatorship because some bougie fascists lost their factories.

I know that the word "socialism" was written into the constitution but does it mean anything?

No, it's a historic curiosity. But neoliberals use that and the fact that the Socialist party has "socialist" in the name to pretend like we've had 50 years of uninterrupted socialism and that's why the economy is bad, because socialism doesn't work. It's absolute baby brained shit but lots of younger people are buying into it.

And lastly, how does the revolution inspire leftists today?

References to April 25 are very common in Portuguese left wing politics. The Communist Party is especially fond of them. But it's a somewhat bittersweet feeling, as most of the more radical demands and experiments from that period were abandoned over time and what remains is heavily weakened by decades of neoliberal creep.

King Crimson - Starless

Genesis - Can-Utility and the Coastliners

It's hard to pick specific songs, but IMO these two + Yes are the prog bands. Album-wise, I recommend fully listening to

  • Fragile and Close to the Edge by Yes;
  • Foxtrot and Selling England by the Pound by Genesis
  • In the Court of the Crimson King and Larks' Tongues in Aspic by King Crimson
