Literally “Holodomor” figures.

I feel you 100%.

The overwhelming amount of support I have received from you all has melted my heart. I have read every comment and have appreciated every upvote. Thank you all, so, so much.

A rather intense one. It has created far more problems than it’s solved, in my experience.

Thank you!!!

I’m only seeing “Vetting Questions (Old)” and no new one, and can’t seem to join any of the rooms.

Was this on lemmygrad or lemmy.ml?

cough Katyn massacre cough

did Shea post some more cringe?

weird post for a malding channer lib to spam like that… congratulations! 👏 🥳

Just kinda shouting out here as the admin of the menslib sub.

I have this tendency to have so much drive to complete something for a couple of days, weeks, months, etc. and then burn myself out and find it difficult to dig back in.

Plus a lot of hilarious shit has been going on in my life that has kept me from engaging with the comm like I want to.

Anyway, point being: I’m going to try to be more active and hopefully give the sub the booster shot it needs. Please use the menslib sub for posts surrounding men’s liberation from violence and patriarchy!!

I got whooped as a kid and I turned out alright!

(THE DEMONS IN MY BRAIN YEARN FOR ESCAPE. AHHHGAGAHAHEHEHHFFUCKKKK)

Yeah, I turned out alright.

Navalny, the guy who called Muslims cockroaches?

Navalny, the guy who was already imprisoned and posed literally no threat to Russia from behind bars? That Navalny?

You’re worse than QAnon types.

THE FUCKING COMMIES WENT AND BLEW UP THE MOON

In as few words as possible: U.S. academia functions as an MLM* scheme where your best career prospect after getting out will be in academia, preparing further students to leave academia only to return, ad infinitum.

Except for STEM degrees. Then you might be able to get a job for the military industrial complex.

Almost no one I know who finished university wound up doing the kind of work they studied for. One’s in healthcare. The rest are still doing odd-jobs or wound up back in academia.

*MLM = multi-level marketing, not Marxist-Leninist-Maoist

Reactionary, old, prole-hating pervert is intercepted by the state before he can do a terrorism and is rehabilitated with no lasting harm done to his person.

Long live Ingsoc, Glory to Oceania! The thought police are here… for you.

I like to look at the DPRK and try to find these mysterious PRISON CAMPS I’ve heard so much about.

Mostly just awe-inspiring nature and beautiful architecture. Most google reviews for places in the DPRK are malding libs who’ve never left Nowhere, Minnesota owning the Koreans. Funny in its sadness.

I would say you are probably correct. A lot of it is semantics - I think prior to the eighties you’re just more likely to run into phrases like “adherent to Mao Zedong Thought” rather than “Marxist-Leninist-Maoist”.

Undeniably, I would say, they were Maoist, but at the time ‘Maoism’ and ‘Marxism-Leninism’ were considered pretty much one and the same by “anti-revisionists” or those communists who split with the USSR after Khruschev’s coup d’etat. I’d say calling Pol Pot a ‘Maoist’ is a fair enough examination, it’s just that to him “Maoism” and “Marxism-Leninism” were synonymous. I’d maybe go so far as to call him a proto-MLM.

A Maoist, not a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist. No one really called themselves an MLM til the 80s, when the PCP/Shining Path officially “synthesized” it.

Proles of the Roundtable is my favorite, they went onto do Invent the Future after they had a falling out, though. Both are great.
