  • I’d say to scale down said debates to not tank your relationship over that. if the debate is inevitable, the “didn’t kill enough” depoliticize the discussion, and to someone outside our circle you make you look like a lunatic, so the best approach imo is bringing the discussion to context, like the other comrade commented quoting losurdo, recognize the repression but putting into the context the political situation soviet union had at the moment, surrounded by reactionary forces including the assassination attempt on lenin, to at least not end the discussion looking like stalin was a monster that killed people for shits and giggles. critic without autophagy.



  • i’m trying at least to be a contact with some new, to show that atheist are normal people, not satan worshipers that eat babies. but sometimes i fell overwhelmed and that i shouldn’t speak progressive topics, since their first contact with one communist has been disappointing since i don’t fit the ideal worker and leave a poor impression that communists are fragile, spoiled, smart pants and etc, plus due particularity of brazilian politics, people are very immersed on neoliberal ideology of each on your own and people have disdain for politics subject and see parties in general as parasites that show up only to ask for votes in election years and steal their money.


  • first, thank you very much from your message, it helps a lot.

    i’m thinking of quitting too, still have some money left from my previous job, that i was saving to buy a house.

    i’m very used to insane deadlines, being pushed around by higher ups and whatnot, but i’m good at some stuff and always managed somehow, this time it is physical work and there is this annoying guy that isn’t even a higher up, a lowly employee like me, but like to bosses everyone around, people hate him, even from different parts of the factory, i’m also very bad at handling people, and get pushed around by this dude and he is major part of why i’m down.

    i was talking to my dad, he said there was someone just like that in his time, lowly employee that works his ass off and likes to boss people around and gave me tips on how to handle, although not sure i will be able to carry forth with what he said, which is basically tell him to fuck off, especially when he is the one tasked to showing me the rope.


  • that is a little part of why im collapsing, talking to coworkers. the whole place is pure toxic masculinity, even tho, im not a “manly man” and nowadays i simply can’t engage in homophonic jokes anymore, don’t find them funny. also decided to experiment a little and told when asked which church i went, that im atheist, well that also didn’t went very well.

    after these few days I’m realizing that the communist movement has rough days ahead, in overcoming the neopentecostal binds, while being everything that the common sense hates, women, atheists, lgbtq+, african religions and etc…



  • there was that one time in high schools that i used a small sock that didn’t cover the achilles tendom, it burned my skin from friction alone, after that i always make sure that my socks are high enough to cover all my feet.

    the problem in having with the boot is that it is a bigger size and it has a shitty insole so my feet wiggle inside and the sole is hard, so that makes my feet hurt like fuck, also i walk a lot during shift to grab materials and whatnot and there isn’t a place to sit nor time, i will put a distance calculator on my phone to see how much i walk daily.


  • thanks for the tips, i will get the correct size shoes and some decent insoles, one day and my feet already hurt. i will see about protein at home, since the factory forbids the entrance of any liquid due to problems with workers drinking alcohol on shift, the least we can do is bring empty water bottles and fill with water inside the factory.

    as for hearing im comfortable since i don’t work close to machines. when picking up things i squat, so it doesn’t hurt my back







  • btf, this is a debate even inside chinese society.

    so yeah, this is a huge discussion throughout parties world wide, most people that i see claiming it is not are from sectarian lines like albanian line of enver hoxha of maoists (gonzalists).

    here in brazil the fastest growing communist party follows albanian line, they consider china capitalist and imperialist, in the likes of usa.

    the other party is split and doesn’t have a solid opinion on the matter, so its up to the individual member.

    recently I’ve read an article by jones manoel (the guy from the quote) where he says he is not convinced that china is socialist but critizes heavily the level of the discussion itself, because no one does a deep analysis over a long duration period, people just spam out of place lenin quotes to refute that china is socialist.


  • i watch a dude that lives in china, he says that because of the century of humiliation and opium abuse, china has a strong anti-drug policy, u can get in jail pretty easily for using, and death penalty for dealing, but wild marijuana cultivation and usage is fine since they haven’t been selected to contain big levels of thc so they can’t get you very high.

    as for russia, i guess the church maybe forbid it.

    and the last edit part you said basically summed it up, cotton lobby, plantations and the plant be associated religious practices of some people.

    i myself wanna try smoking some to see if it can help me sleep a little better, I’ve been trying passiflora but no luck, getting canabis oil prescription is almost impossible and get the medicine itself here in brazil.
