Help us hit 1k today! We have a plan, we have willing hands, we have the trailer, we just need your help to get repairs done and launch a pop-up tent in the meantime. Only 100 away from 1000

Communists should be creating 3rd spaces and using them to push education towards revolutionary consciousness. The food trailer porject is combined with a mobile stage asset and one of the people interested in investing has enough speakers to put on a music festival if we wanted

These are guns from Lebanese farms you’ve dumped in a school so you can bomb schools full of Lebanese children

@phl43 _Salt_ by Mark Kurlansky talks about it in more depth. I feel like the account u cited makes it seem like they were looking for gas when in fact they were looking for salt + found gas. There's a chapter about it but here are 4 relevant pages. I love MK's books, they're so fun!

And this is why my community garden projects have guns and security duty

A local non-profit community farm that focuses on food accessibility was broken into a couple of days ago, thousands of seedlings destroyed. They don’t want us to help each other or have access to fresh foods. Some people’s worst nightmare is community care & access, clearly.

@jhal9000 You're going to restart the There Will Be No Restaurants Under Socialism discourse.

this sort of take will never not be funny because the entire argument is that cooking is most efficient when there are economies of scale, which an atomized society divided by capitalism cannot hope to achieve. in other words, down with the capitalists! cafeterias for all!

Panda's food cost on that plate is around $3. They sell it to you for ~$11. If you tried to make it at home you probably spent $15 on ingredients and an hour of your life to lose this race. Here's why the scale math is brutal. Panda buys boneless chicken thighs at wholesale: around $2/lb, sometimes less on contract. The same cut at your grocery store runs $3-5/lb. You're paying a 2x retail markup before you've turned on the stove. Then stack the ingredient tax. Orange chicken at home needs cornstarch, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, orange juice, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and frying oil. Each bottle costs $3-8. You use a tablespoon of each and toss the rest a year later. Panda buys these inputs in drums and the per-plate seasoning cost rounds to zero. Labor is where the comparison breaks. A Panda cook plates 200-300 entrees per shift. Marginal labor is ~90 seconds at ~$18/hr, so about $0.50 of labor per tray. You spent 45 minutes on yours. At any honest hourly rate, the time cost more than the meal. Panda sells 115 million pounds of orange chicken a year. At that volume, they're functionally a food manufacturer with 2,400 retail outlets. The plate is the last step in a commodities pipeline. A chain running 90-second wok labor on commodity chicken beats your home kitchen every time. That's the whole business.

@class_struggler @BolshevikBeyond Burden of proof rests on the accusing party, i.e. the one that barged in and accused decolonial communists of being Nazis. I don't need to prove shit; you're the one that needs to elaborate, except you can't because your entire argument rests on invalid premises. Bye.

@jhal9000 @BolshevikBeyond I’m not arguing in bad faith. You’re the one who refuses to make a point.
What in my profile makes it seem like I’m bad faith

@Alwaysbrokefore @BolshevikBeyond Not to mention that destroying the labor aristocratic and racist ideologies the US has been marinated in isn't just a once and done thing, it is going to be a process that takes years
English
@Alwaysbrokefore @BolshevikBeyond No, you're not miscommunicating; if anything, I wasn't clear when I said "regime" the second time around. I specified earlier the "landed settler regime" meaning the totality of settler-property-societal relations. Of course merely destroying the US state would be insufficient.
English
I think too many marxists who say, in words, that the US is a settler-colony, treat this as no different from the Russian Empire and the nations contained within. There are certainly similarities, strong ones even, but they are not the same and require different approaches.
English
@class_struggler @BolshevikBeyond You're the one who barged in accusing OP of being a fascist due to arguing for landback. Given your profile I didn't want to assume you were acting in bad faith but I guess I was mistaken.
English
@jhal9000 @BolshevikBeyond You have failed to make a substantial point on how property relations are fundamentally different despite the same mode of production which is a tacit dismissal of Marx so shut the fuck up and sit down

If I'm not mistaken most Chinese open air markets also have food court like areas for street vendors, so perhaps the synthesis is open air market/cafeteria/food court community third spaces x.com/jhal9000/statu…

@djinn_the It's not incompatible, but if you look at how meals are prepared there, local food is cheap and plentiful so fresh supplies are obtained from open air markets each day, while kitchens in the US all have massive kulak pantries in expectation of the apocalypse

@jhal9000 Yet we see with China that communism isn't incompatible with complex food traditions. We don't have to suffer for communalism. Fresh ingredients can be cheap and abundant
English
@Alwaysbrokefore @BolshevikBeyond It actually does necessitate it. Anything less would be a mere reformation that would likely result in the reconstitution of some form of settler autocracy.
English
@jhal9000 @BolshevikBeyond I'd agree partly. You're on the right track. But the destruction of the regime doesn't necessitate the elimination of racial prejudice given that it's a critical component that forms the basis of U.S logic that is then expanded, adapted, and imposed on other racialized peoples.
