this weekend i will attach fucking fans to my 3d printer or everyone gets a lib word pass.
3 months i've been waffling with this shit

she even caught adam johnson ire, smh. feel like backlash is disproportional, cause people feel powerless, and at least they can discipline fellow "leftie". although i'm all for hating her sub, because half a year ago or so, there were a thread there earnestly (!) discussing heritability of iq, with updoots and all.
she on the other hand is just a shitlib (and envy made that obvious to me), same as all of new york crimes/dem party whatever, so telling her to eat shit is less productive than doing same to senators/reps/journalists (which is much less productive than talking to your local org abour rent strikes or 
)
if everyone aware she is a shitlib, further outreach is meaningless and largely mob hollering. (although her doing "well actually" for epstein was kinda wild)
private capital porkies are ecstatic 
bitcoin is at 118k, dow at 44k, seems they wriggled their way out of this jam (again), not-curious that with record profits, curious with falling out investment into primary means of production. Just straight worship towards oil/gas/weapons/ai
interestingly, industrial rare metals (silver/copper/palladium, nickel is the exception) going upwards as well, welcome back converter thieves.
Welcome back, new york crimes, circa 1860
If you read wikipedia article, it reads like grinding teeth description of north korea in africa (like, those authoritarians have healthcare and vaccination programs, and education program, they are definitely up to shady stuff, also no free speech).
But, they are more open to foreign capital, canadian mining ops are massive there, and they have very dodgy involvements militarily with ethiopia/tigray, and military service length seems just straight bizarre, so eh? Maybe enlightnened military dictatorship would fit as well, they don’t seem very developmentalist, as they don’t fix agriculture/urban split, compared to dprk, just kinda vibing
Tbh, strongly feel stalin cavalier attitude towards ethnic movements played a strong role in that, but they quickly realized what it was (or, more cynically, that entity became pet imperialist project, most definitively with suez crisis)
Yeah, that’s why I’m debating leaving post as is, let it and your comments provide some contrast/plausible explanation, or remove it for people not reading stuff
It works as a mouse with ds4 on pc 
I click icons sometimes
Listen, shia iran would host saudi backed sunni extremist group, and al jolani is a great person to provide this insight into sneaky Iranian mindset, he was a white hat al qaeda agent, working from within
need to work on cyrillization tho
seems there is small shift from indifference (circa 2018) to embracing communes, but largely puff piece, not a lot of info about what they do, how much they control etc (i remember being discouraged how small they were relatively speaking)
CPM: A good example of close cooperation between the government and the communes are the popular consultations that began in May 2024. Could you explain how they work? How does the consultation process transfer power to the communes?
AP: The popular consultation processes have become an important channel between the government and the communes in this juncture. The first step consists of assemblies that are held in all the communes and communal circuits [essentially communes that are yet to be consolidated] around the country. In these assemblies, people come together to debate and prioritize the most pressing problems. Then comes a nationwide voting process in which the members of each commune select a single project among those that the assemblies have identified as necessary.
After the voting process, funds are allocated to each commune or communal circuit, which then takes responsibility for seeing the project through to completion. For now, funding is limited [10,000 USD per consultation], but the president has indicated that municipal and regional governments should also finance communal projects.
In this way, each project comes out of a planning process that is internal to the community. People have embraced this new practice. It has re-engaged many who had withdrawn from communal participation and restored faith in communal councils and communes. Now everyone can see how communes can indeed address collective problems.
The upshot is that confidence in communal structures is being restored. For almost a year now, popular consultations have been held every three months, and participation grows with each new cycle. People have come to trust this method.
but seems like they may get official designation/relationship to state tho, which is pog:
The majority of Venezuelans live in working-class communities, and they require state support to address their needs. Just as townships and the state governments have a constitutional right to receive funding, we demand that communes be granted the same right—one that does not depend on the political will of a particular mayor, governor, or minister but is mandated by the constitution. It should be a constitutional duty of the Venezuelan state to guarantee access to these funds.
Our debates about the constitution are only beginning, but we will reach a decision this year. There is broad agreement that one of our key objectives should be to ensure that the term “commune” is incorporated and recognized in the constitution. However, it is just as important to define the communes’ relationship with the state and guarantee their access to funding.
i must have missed the post, it's 4 days ago and search don't work 
linky (pedo-curious as well, as is tradition)
hopefully, making it quieter to print at night and faster maybe
