A Hidden Camera Protest Turned the Tables on China’s Surveillance State
Before fleeing China, an activist in Chongqing staged an elaborate one-man demonstration against the Communist Party that doubled as performance art.

Communist ideology is a big red flag (inter alia)

One thing that's great about living in #Japan is that it's one of the few countries where the main hard-left party both has some power, and is critical of the pseudo-#fascist, ethno-#nationalist party tha…

#YourParty
"To join, you must be 16 or over, resident in the UK, and you cannot be a member of another national political party."
So goodbye to any ideas of the party as a federation of radicals - same mistake that Momentum made. They could have opened it to Greens, members of PC, SDLP, Communist Party, Majority, TUSC, etc. At least at this formative stage. I wonder how many…

Book Review “The End” by Joel Wainwright
This book is unlike the majority of books I have reviewed here. It is a very serious, academic treatise. The reason I wanted to read it was not because I am a communist (I'm not) but because the blurb I got suggests that it "confronts the planetary climate crisis". I did my due diligence and flogged my way through the entire book - which was a bit like going back to university.

A US court rules that the DOD can classify DJI as a "Chinese Military Company", finds that there is enough evidence that DJI is supported by Chinese government (Sean Hollister/The Verge)

Pentagon can call DJI a Chinese Military Company, court rules
A district court “cannot conclude” that DJI is “indirectly owned by the Chinese Communist Party,” but found the DoD can call it a Chinese military company.

I was interviewed by Kim for her @… Website about my criticism/approach. It was neat to think about how I approach things, maybe it's interesting to you, I enjoyed thinking about the questions a lot.

Trump caught his loyal conservative base off-guard and sparked backlash
by saying he would allow 600,000 Chinese students into American universities.
That would be a departure for the Trump administration after it added new vetting for student visas,

and expanded the grounds for terminating international students’ ability to study in the United States.

Trump says he'd allow 600,000 Chinese students into US, sparks MAGA backlash
President Donald Trump has sparked backlash from some members of his loyal base by saying his administration would allow 600,000 Chinese students into American universities. That would be a departure for the administration after it's added new vetting for student visas, moved to block foreign enrollment at Harvard and more. The State Department said in May that it would revoke visas for students tied to the Chinese Communist Party and boost vetting of new applicants. Trump's announcement Monday…

Trump called out after big Intel move: 'Literally communism' - Raw Story

Ugh, what a dumbass. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:f7utvjkqbgwfjonqtpfcf5fu/post/3luiljxdpdc2d
And yet, this is slightly better than "we're going to deport Mamdani".. I think?

"The essence of the so-called capitalist world or the communist world, is not an evil volition to subject their people by the power of indoctrination or the power of finance; but simply the natural ambition of any organization to plan all its actions."

Bourgeoisie: having two bathrooms in the house.
The poor in post-communist blocks of flats: having a separate bathroom and toilet.
True aristocracy: having a dedicated cat litter box room.
(Read: an impractical room that exists as a result of neverending modifications of an old house. It also features a wardrobe but I won't be having a wardrobe room like some bourgeois.)

There’s another name for that…

Does anybody else see "VC" in an article and have their brain replace it with "Viet Cong"?
It's so much funnier imagining someone making a funding pitch to a bunch of communist guerrillas in the jungle rather than some stodgy bay area tech bros.

"In my opinion... for the left-wing militant in general, and the worker in particular, even more particularly the communist worker: start weaving, so to speak, have a loom at home; one cannot continue speaking out against pollution while polluting intensely."
Manuel Sacristšn, influential Spanish eco-Marxist, speaking in 1979. He doesn't mean literally start weaving, although one could, but to live lightly on the earth while struggling against the system.

Just got back home from the show tonight, brought up the Zohran primary win with my friend and his dad just blurted out the Trump socialist communist (because those can be a thing at the same time) claim line like a sleeper agent, mentioned some "anti-white tax" that doesn't exist and honestly the situation just had the same effect of someone randomly bringing up that they have 30 days to live. Maaaan, this might be the end of my social life lmao

Definitely not a Communist but surely an Anarchist!
