'To instill into the Established Order the complacent portrayal of its drawbacks has nowadays become a paradoxical but incontrovertible means of exalting it.'

@okimstillhungry I think it's wrong for human beings to be displayed for sale in shop windows

The Black Panthers’ survival pending revolution programs are be one of the most misunderstood things on the left.

They weren't passing out sandwiches and calling it the revolutionary. They shook down the petit bourgeois for resources and provided political education.

everyone wants to say "this poem sucks" that poem sucks"" etc but very few brave enough to say Helllo, here is a poem i LIKE!! This is my taste!

@RodericDay The "media literacy" mindset creeps into everything.

[Bond McQuestion @bondmcquestion]

99% of calls for "left unity" on here boil down to "anyone who tells me or my friends that we're wrong about something is an anti-revolutionary and probably also an FBI agent."

This film is 100% feminist with absolutely no misogynistic undertones in the screenplay or imagery.

Was Lenin also a shit communist and a "wrecker"?

All of my Politics center around making this guy suffer

[Giokielicious @jokieliu]

European: “I’m dying of heat.”
Random Chinese person: “Why not try turning on the air conditioner?”

American: “I’m homeless and completely desperate.”
RandomChinese person: “Why not ask the police for help?”

British person: “My train got cancelled, I can’t get home tonight.”
Random Chinese person: “Why not just take the next high-speed train? Or rebook your ticket?”

Classic Lenin ripping into Hudson and pals from the grave.

There's probably nothing more ideologically dangerous for the budding Marxism of the West today than incessant chatter that "financialized capitalism" (evil) is corrupting "industrial capitalism" (wholesome).

Big thing that horror fans are completely unwilling to interrogate is the degree to which misogynistic tropes have become entrenched in popular horror films, even the ones they think are “feminist”

[Nia Frome @NiaFrome]

"touch grass" read a book

[Bond McQuestion @bondmcquestion]

Films that make their audiences feel smart for liking them - "elevated horror" being a prime example - tend to have this effect, because those audiences will subsequently treat valid criticism of the film as an affront to their intelligence or, worse, their "media literacy."

[dyl @speckvoices]

noticing a trend where any and all criticism of Obsession is deflected by just simply saying “you did not understand it”

[caroline :) @soonrightaway]

Obsession is sort of like a feature-length stand-up set of Barker going “damn, BPD bitches are crazy!! am i right fellas” but occasionally he gets all serious and goes “no but all jokes aside… the patriarchy is the bitch who is actually crazy fr” and also there are rape scenes

[caroline :) @soonrightaway]

i feel like im going insane with this. you cannot do a movie about rape at the exact same time you’re making a movie where you have a crazy BPD gf cartoon character for the audience to laugh at and say how how relatable it was afterwards. like actually what the fuck are you doing

[Roderic Day @RodericDay]

This idea that you need to be as self-sacrificed and poor as possible to do good I mostly associate with Christianity and Jesus.

Marx, meanwhile, was an atheist Jew who liked wine.

Revolutionary theory that seizes hegemony does not praise poverty, let alone voluntary poverty.

[Nia Frome @NiaFrome]

there's a lot going on in this tweet. it's half-ironic. the sincere half is dengist, and the ironic part comes from an appreciation that marxists tend not to get those kinds of jobs, both from an abundance of principle and the fact that most employers don't like us much.

[Nia Frome @NiaFrome]

if you're a marxist my recommendation is that you get the best job you can, making lots of money doing as little as possible, with good benefits and plenty of paid vacation time

[A-kwee-ya @AkuaSankofa]

I don't think I've read Huey Newton's " Revolutionary Suicide," but doesn't he also discuss reactionary suicide? Because ole boy from Backrooms accidentally—i don't believe the writer is that politically conscious—seems like a good candidate to me.

[Roderic Day @RodericDay]

Engels was a factory owner.

Regardless of what discussions you get into regarding who's proletarian, or whether teachers are aristocrats, or who's GS, or whatever else, remember that.

Class is a sociological framework for analysis. It's not a medal, not an anchor.
