Welcome again to everybody. Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread.
☭ Matrix homeserver and space
☭ Theory discussion group on Matrix
☭ Find theory on ProleWiki, marxists.org, Anna’s Archive, libgen
We’re currently looking for volunteers to moderate a few rooms in the GZD Matrix space, especially those in UTC-1 to UTC+8 (roughly Europe, Africa and the western half of Asia). If you’re interested, DM any of the mods in the space and we’ll send some vetting questions and guidelines.
I might be up for it.
Amsterdam police are cracking down violently on pro-Palestine protestors on Dam Square who are protesting against the way the Maccabi hooligan situation was treated. They are even arresting journalists. And they are blocking the square so no protestors can leave, even the ones who were at the edge bc they didn’t want to be in danger. I’m safe, I didn’t go.
recently attends my two friends wedding (one korean and one russian)
it was fine. but the russian family recently moved to israel to escape russia war?!? i agonised over attending their wedding a lot. but i left early.
Another week.
Ever since the elections finished over here I am in some sort of political pause it seems. The party hasn’t really communicated something in the last few weeks and I haven’t heard from my group either. I get that in a year with two elections, who are now done, a pause was necessary but idk it’s not like things have stopped. Get back to work I’d say.
The strange thing is that I just sort of forgot too. Like, it was only last night that I thought about the party work in weeks.
In the meantime life is great actually. I finally settled in my new office and I feel really welcome. Made some new coworker friends who invite me to do stuff. Gym is going great and I am on a roll the last few weeks after working out from home for over a year. I eat healthy. Haven’t had a drink in months. I feel calm and at peace for the first time in over two years I think. I got some nice things planned.
Not really sure why I write all of this. But I guess I had to get it out somewhere. I was sitting on my couch last evening thinking about how I truly feel happy for the first time in a while and it feels nice.
Though I do hope party work starts soon.
The fr*nch
Indeed the fr*nch
Pics that go hard.
I hope you all have a nice week :D
You two oppo :D
I hope your week boldly goes where your weeks have never gone before! :D
Hehe, must have been catnip in there!
Have a good week too Oppo : )
I love rats, but that feels oddly mean : (
What you don’t want to be eaten D:
Still no wishing me a run of the mill week?
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I hope your week is filled with good fortune 🥠
Wow! Vole must have rich parents. That’s quite the estate.
Confiscated from the vole monarch

The Spanish Communist Party has issued a call to other communist parties in Europe to send help to deal with the floods and our party will send a brigade of volunteers soon
Be careful out there folks. There are spanish neo nazis organizing in Valencia. In case your team needs an idea on how to identify them, some of them are wearing shirts like this one:

Wish you the best! Valencianos need a lot of help.
I hope i don’t lose my sanity
So the RCMP (Canadian federal police who love to harass and destroy the lives of Indigenous communities) intend to use social media to basically trap “extremists” in Canada. That might be cool if there were some kind of criteria and accountability to communities. But with the “victims” of Communism memorial and what not, it will definitely be used to beat down protestors trying to stop pipelines etc., and protect the ruling class from any workers movement.
Plus we have a wet noodle fascist that will likely be prime minister next time around so… Yeah
It’s not just RCMP but also the local level counterparts.
Yeah, I wanted to be specific lol
I said ‘death to Israel’ on my country’s football (soccer) sub and I got a warning from Reddit lol.
I should have just said that ‘at least Tel Aviv is a progressive place! They have gay prides!’ like the other comment.
Hamzah Saadah says that there is a gay bar in Ramallah. (The IOF have probably flattened it by now, though.)
how inclusive of them to also murder gay people, truly the most moral army there is!
i said “Israel loves genociding and funding genocides”, which is obviously factually true, and it get removed on tiktok (which is controlled by the feds)
I fear a rift between my American cousins and me in the future.
Today is the US presidential election. And everybody online and offline is in the most annoying state of hysteria imaginable.
Since it doesn’t make any difference who gets elected, I think I’m just going to sit back and watch the fireworks.
im gonna sit back and watch Hasan stream, gonna be funny when he has a meltdown because Trump won.
Haven’t checked out Hasan, but I’ve been watching the online meltdown, and it’s pretty hilarious. E.g., from the Destiny sub (ngl, had me at the title):
“greatest country on earth”, canadians are such cucks
Same cuck energy as when the US bootlickers here in Europe go on and on about what a wonderful symbol of freedom and democracy the US is, how it’s the greatest country on earth and won’t you please protect us from big bad Russia. Fuck i hate these losers, at least one good thing that might come from this result is that it will hopefully shut them up for a while.
absolutely, i fucking hate these losers more than the americans.
I heard some of the degenerate gambling streamers on Twitch lost a huge amount of money on betting sites over this election.
my pro-genocide relative voted for kamala lol, at least its consistent
I just had someone who was apparently a part of Operation Prosperity Guardian reply to me on reddit really mad that I made fun of the two US pilots who bombed Yemen and later died in a jet crash in the US. I told them if I were flying the jet it wouldn’t have crashed lol
skills issue 🤣
if I were flying the jet it wouldn’t have crashed
Yeah, same, cause i would’ve landed it in Yemen, asked for asylum, and told them to give the plane to the Iranians or Russians to reverse engineer.
ah I was referring to the plane in which they crashed, which was in Washington state during some kind of training mission or something. I agree with the spirit of your comment though
Bowe Berghdal?
