titlegore tho. You didn’t need 2 rules
It’s my personal rule that any rule that is ruleplaced by rule will be rule throughout the whole rule. Thus minimizing confusion.
Just look around: a housing shortage, crime, pollution; we need better schools and parks. Whatever our needs, they all require work. And as long as we have unsatisfied needs, there’s work to be done. So ask yourself, what kind of world has work but no jobs. It’s a world where work is not related to satisfying our needs, a world where work is only related to satisfying the profit needs of business. This country was not built by the huge corporations or government bureaucracies. It was built by people who work. And it is working people who should control the work to be done. Yet, as long as employment is tied to somebody else’s profits, the work won’t get done.
This is the controversial shit that the news/government hid to demonize the Black Panthers.
Guess what? It’s still happening.
They like to talk about how peaceful MLKJr is and shit like that. They never talk about his socialist/communist beliefs, and understood that they needed a MalcomX to make white people come to the table.
A peaceful negotiator and a revolutionary fighter. Alone, both will be crushed; together, both can push society into a direction.
We need this to be posted everywhere.
All power to the people
Holy shit. The simplicity of it all. Great job, whoever penned this

Damn right! ✊
I thought marxism-leninism wasn’t allowed?
The Black Panthers get a pass; they didn’t live long enough to become the villains, and there’s no guarantee that they would have. The BPP was far more prefigurative than vangaurdist, and it was the combination of these things that made them seem so threatening to the powers that be.
The bpp absolutely was a vanguardist party though??? They were an explicitly leninist party???
I didn’t say they weren’t, I just said their prefigurative politics were more prominent. I’m of the opinion that what someone does is more important than what they say, and if they hadn’t been undermined by COINTELPRO who knows where their thinking and organizational structure would have gone. I just think there was something truly transformative about the BPP that could have grown into something beautiful if they’d had the opportunity.
I marxism-leninism was at the core of the ideology though. All of their politics sprang from there. I’m not complaining or anything, but this poster is marxist-leninist propaganda.
Is it propaganda if it’s true?
Yes. Propaganda is media that is used to agitate a mass of people. It’s not inherently negative.
Yes. Most effective propaganda uses truth, but crafts a specific narrative by choosing which aspects to emphasize.
Despite what genocidal despots want you to think, material analyisis is not synonymous with Marxism-Leninism.
But the black panthers were marxist-leninists
Not in the
$insert_ban_wordcontext. Come over to my 🧵 to discuss this, as the @snoons@lemmy.ca made this 🧵 to talk about grammar, and not politics.I resent the insinuation.
What’s your favorite enrule then🤣?
Are offended because I changed the title to follow The Rule?
(✕⍯) is not! (✕⍯) enjoys humor, as much as anyone!
Want (✕⍯) to post before (✕⍯) leaves?
Do you feel that this is a message that should be censored?
Obviously not, i think the rule is stupid as it precludes posting about a bunch of liberation movements. The SACP is another one for example.
where?
The black panther party was explicitly marxist-leninist, this poster is marxist-leninist agitprop
Was anything it said not reflective of reality?
No, they were marxist-leninist through and through
Putting aside the political leanings of the author, was anything spoken about in the poster not reflective of reality today?
That’s the question my “no” was meant to answer.
Oh, so we don’t have an affordability crisis, homelessness epidemic, opioid OD epidemic, a vanishing middle class and a level of wealth disparity that hasn’t been seen since the 1920s.
is any of that not allowed somewhere? you answered the “what” not the “where.”
Sidebar
this was posted in a thread not in the sidebar. please explain.
i don’t understand what you want explained, the side-bar says no marxism-leninism and the post is marxist-leninist agitprop. Not that I’m against it, but it’s a bit weird.
that’s all i wanted; was for you to actually coherently write a soup to nuts explanation of your thoughts. i agree with you.
Wow.
this is longer then that one Dream twitter thread
You like… proud of not reading books or something?
i dont know how to explain this without sounding like an incel basically i like reading books i want to read books i cant read books because the schools ive been too (and still in) had did an almost irreversible psychological damage to me and trust me these are some of the worst schools on the planet
Being able to tell each other complicated information is empowering. If you can’t read well you will be taken advantage of. Taking back your ability to read is a victory over your schools that were built to keep you down. I don’t know how to help you, but I hope you find a way to win it back.
I’m sorry… schools can be shitholes, I know. Ironic that this is pretty much exactly what the poster is talking about. We need better schools but it takes work and work is only done in pursuit of profit for business owners. They have no interest in making better schools because there’s no profit in it, or at least none that they’ll have only for themselves.
I’m don’t think there’s anything I can tell you that would make it easier… I’m pretty sure there isn’t. This stranger doesn’t know, can’t know what you’re going through but they still believe in you because you’re a human bean. Light and beauty fren. :3
It’s called “Trauma,” and it’s terrible😱.
I’m a bookworm, so enjoy a few reads before I start a day. Can’t live without AO3 or tAL.
e.g., I am now reading my reacts🤭
