Relatedly, Cosmonaut types tend to rate Paul Cockshott quite highly while nobody actually invested in trying to justify socialism in economics bothers citing him because he’s fundamentally unserious.

Really funny to me how ‘Mike Macnair’ is so highly rated in American and Australian circles when the party is a massive lolcow within the British Left known for bangers like ‘the right to wank at work’ and being white guys using the n word.

@Weekly_Worker @Tom_Gann Jon, Bryce and Stephen as I recall resigned because of this. Where does that leave DS? Ian, Tina and Chris?
Anyway that you don’t realise how Ian saying that and you defending it incessantly and using that word is a scandal, you’re truly hopeless.
English
@Tom_Gann Oh various people. Wow. Want to back that up with real names, perhaps? Because the MUC resignations long preceded what you think is a big 'scandal'. Go and check your facts before making up stuff.

The other side of “unrestricted free speech” in Lenin is freedom of association, in this case the right to withdraw from association with people using racist slurs. That’s what people have been exercising with regard to Ian Spencer, Tina Becker & others. marxists.org/archive/lenin/…
Weekly Worker@Weekly_Worker
@nondomination_ Then why are you so surprised that we campaign for unrestricted free speech- just as Marx, Engels and Lenin did? When did we ever support bureaucratic censorship and banning words or banning people? That's the total opposite of the culture we need.

@stendhalist Spreading disinfo about me being Brahmin again online 😭
English
@ShinMarginalScr Exactly why marginal only wants to marry brahmins like him
English
You’re talking like arranged marriages aren’t the default in India and shit like marrying outside your community and caste isn’t considered taboo lol.
ThePrintIndia@ThePrintIndia
Young Indians are giving arranged marriage a shot. They have a checklist and they have outsourced the job to their parents. Watch #ThePrintGroundReport by Senior Assistant Editor Stela Dey @brownkhaleesi youtu.be/MxrI6ffI2Jc

People who listen to Wonderwall in public should be shot.

Just the opinions of 3-4 people out of 7 running the organisation 🥰🥰🥰
Like the guy at the centre of this who was using the n word is literally the old white dude from Sheffield.
Dovah@Dovah1000
@tombruhcks It's not a view of the majority of the organisation at all, it's as far as I can tell just one or two people within the organisation that oppose the ban of saying the N word, *not* the entirety of DSYP.

The Baltics are first world countries lol.
They were better off than the rest of the USSR to begin with, but they’re proper first world countries now and this is cope.

There are children and teenagers doing ‘part time jobs’ everywhere in India. Look around yourself for a change.
The actual class-caste thing going on here is the inability to even see that around you.

CASTEISM!!!!!! casteism you can find the root of all in casteism!!!!!
English
Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the other hand was historically progressive for transcending caste lines.
друг@friendinrussian
Tokugawa Ieyasu was like the opposite of historically progressive. Uniting the country after nearly 150 years of division only to create a highly regimented police state and total isolation only to enshrine another 250 years of Feudalism and forceful economic stagnation.

@Liuzhuanzhao_CN @Jamie_Venom Love how the part of Ladakh annexed by China is undisputedly China 😂😂
English
@ShinMarginalScr @Jamie_Venom Official practice of China's map regarding the handling of Kashmir
English
This is secondary to the fact the Kashmir Valley is occupied, but nobody outside India considers AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan to be part of India.
Indian diplomats generally didn't create a scene over other countries using the LOC as the actual Indo-Pak border lol.
Shashank Mattoo@MattooShashank
Indian diplomat: The map of India you are using is incorrect. Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India Ex-Bangladesh Diplomat: This is a representational map Indian diplomat: I understand. But J&K is a part of India and it is misrepresented here
English
@nopeschlesier it's frankly not that deep. nobody on the online left really even knew about the baltics until that 'indonesia vs. estonia' exchange
English

and I am not a fan of either really
Nikolaj🇺🇦🇵🇸@nikicaga
Its funny how many online leftists love Ireland for being "poor colonized white people" but have a pathological hatred of the Baltics, the most clearly colonized people in Europe
English
@Jamie_Venom It isn't 'settled'. The entire former princely state is treated as disputed territory because it is. Maps generally reflect the LOC.
English
@ShinMarginalScr I meant what is the settled international law on the subject.
English
@Jamie_Venom Indians will have to come to terms with the fact that the only part of the former princely state of Jammu and Kashmir unhappy with the status quo vis a vis which country they are in is the Kashmir Valley itself.
English
@Jamie_Venom Nobody gives a shit about Indian law outside Indian borders. Nobody recognises AJK and Gilgit Baltistan as part of India outside India, because they're not just under Pakistani control, they're extremely pro-Pakistan as well.
English
@watling_samuel Gary Stevenson's entire brand is predicated upon peaking in LSE and that trading job he supposedly left to assuage his conscience.
English
University is not the be all and end all of intellectual development. It has been 18 years since he graduated and ultimately the clearest signal of your ability is what you are doing NOW, not what you managed decades ago. Garys arguments are bad NOW and thats what matters.
Aaron Bastani@AaronBastani
Something these guys struggle with is Gary Stevenson sounds like he does, while having a first in maths from the LSE, and a masters from Oxford. 20 years ago the right would have pointed to that as evidence of grammar schools working. Now we just get nonsense.

@purdyrebelkinch Critical solidarity with Adolf Hitler (white) against Adolf Hitler (Brown)
English
@ShinMarginalScr Actually there was a somewhat prominent protest of Modi in Australia
(White Supremacist)
English
The fact there were no major protests against Modi in Australia and New Zealand goes to show how cooked the Anglophone Left is.
I suspect at this point the only protests in the West would be in the UK, Canada and the US.
