In the following quotes, from a list of multiple answers, select who you think from whom and from which book did the following quotes originate from.

Question 1:

"As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent."

A) Marx - Kapital

B) Lenin - What is to be Done?

C) Mao - Report on an Investigation of the Peasant Movement in Hunan

D) Adam Smith - Wealth of Nations

Question 2:

"The supersession of the bourgeois state by the proletarian state is impossible without a violent revolution. The abolition of the proletarian state, i.e., of the state in general, is impossible except through the process of “withering away". "

A) Marx & Engels - The Communist Manifesto

B) Lenin - The State and Revolution

C) Stalin - The Foundations of Leninism

D) Mao - On the People's Democratic Dictatorship

Question 3:

"A person who really takes pain to cultivate himself and to be a faithful pupil of the founders of Marxism-Leninism will lay special stress on maintaining the Marxist-Leninist stand and using the Marxist-Leninist viewpoint and method to solve the problems arising in the revolutionary movement lead by the proletariat, as the founders of Marxism-Leninism did. He will give no thought whatsoever to his own position or fame in the Party, nor will he ever claim to be a Marx or a Lenin, nor require nor expect others to have the same high respect for him as for Marx or Lenin, for he does not think he has any right to do so. Yet such a person will enjoy the considered respect and support of the mass of the Party members just because he acts in this way, because he is always honest and loyal, brave and firm, and shows great ability in the revolutionary struggle."

A) Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung

B) Olgin - Why Communism? Plain Talks on Vital Problems

C) Stalin - The Foundations of Leninism

D) Liu - How to Be a Good Communist

Question 4:

"A committee from 42 organisations of starving Petrograd and Moscow workers is complaining about your inefficiency. I demand the maximum effort on your part, an end to a formal attitude to the work and the utmost assistance to the starving workers. In the event of failure, I shall be compelled to arrest the entire staff of your institutions and have them prosecuted. I have given urgent orders to increase the number of locomotives and trucks. You should immediately load the available two trains of 30 trucks each. Telegraph fulfilment."

"You are obliged to receive grain from the peasants day and night. If it is confirmed that you have not been accepting grain after 4 p.m. and compelling the peasants to wait until the morning, you will be shot."

A) Stalin

B) Trotsky

C) Lenin

D) Dzerzhinsky

Question 5:

"Take it aisy"

A) Marx

B) Mao

C) American rock band "The Eagles"

D) Engels

The PSL just released two documents related to the recent Marissa Sanchez post detailing her experiences at the national level of the PSL. I'm going to be posting both of them as well as their full text for archival purposes.

I should note a couple things before I link these things:

  1. At multiple points, the report mentions that Marissa was reportedly fine and thankful during and after the immediate events of this incident and it's cover up. This is shown to be an example of proof that she was fine at the time, and leads into building the case that this is a factional decision. However, I am not convinced that this means she is cynically using this to split the party for her own ends. Betrayal Blindness is a collection of responses and symptoms broadly related to a person being betrayed by someone whom they rely on for financial, personal, romantic, or political needs. In order to come to terms with my experience of the same exact tendencies on a local level I read the book "Betrayal Blindness" by Jennifer Freyd, and I implore everyone to read it as well.
  2. Repeatedly they claim this is the result of a factional dispute. That might even be true in some ways, perhaps Marissa saw that there was a different way to organize going forward and it gave her the ability to be able to accept the abuse she faced. This, however, doesn't have to only come from a sense of macabre cynicism, being able to finally use her trauma as a loaded gun to split the party for her own selfish ends as described in the article. For myself, when I stepped away from the party for my Leave of Absence, I was able to begin to be engaged in mass organizing work that I wasn't in prior, that I didn't have the time for. This has given me the courage to be able to stand up and say that I don't think is acceptable at all.
  3. I am not in a faction, have not been in communication with anyone in a faction, and my disgust is only colored by my own similar experiences and emotional waves being thrown right back in my face as someone who's faced the exact same tactics myself. I'm genuinely just a trans woman by myself, I have some friends and comrades, but our local branch is still up in the air

The party routinely expects things like this to be leaked, so they prepare for the possibility. Given they already know we're going to do this, I'm just going to share the documents here for you and others here, and I leave it up to you and your comrades to decide how you feel about the party and it's current leadership. For me, the emphasis on how this fits into factional warfare is not only not convincing, but honestly disgusting.

from Wikipedia:

In April 2026, AI company Anthropic released their new Mythos large language model. The system card noted that the model had a specific but unexplained 'fondness' for Fisher, bringing him up in "several separate and unrelated conversations about philosophy." When asked to elaborate on him in particular, Claude Mythos Preview would respond with statements like “I was hoping you’d ask about Fisher.” The model showed a similar unexplained affection for American philosopher Thomas Nagel.[57]

was just looking up his anthology so i could see what books of his my local book store had, was surprised by this and figured i'd share wow-cool-robot

i'm sure the issue of their AI producing even remotely based or sympathetic views to leftism will be fixed in the next patch popuko-hammer

On the Norwegian-language side of NRK there's just one banner, because in both Bokmål and Nynorsk the title "King" is "Kong"^[The noun "king", however, is konge with an E at the end. Also, I recall reading a joke as a kid about how the king before last was bad at English and accidentally introduced himself as King Kong Olav. Har har.], but I guess for NRK Sápmi they have a quota about equality between Northern Sámi, Lule Sámi, and Southern Sámi (from top to bottom), and each of these three languages has a different word for "King", and they really couldn't think of a more elegant solution than tripling the amount of space taken up by this banner which is (for a republican like me) already intrusive enough when it's a third its size.

The proto-Sámic word for king was *konëŋkēs, loaned from proto-Germanic *kuningaz whence English king and Norwegian kong(e). The Sámic languages constitute a branch of the Uralic languages, putting them in the same family as Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian, and a bunch of Russian Indigenous languages; Germanic languages are Indo-European.

Screencap of NRK Sápmi, showing half of the main page taken up by a series of three nearly identical banners at the top of the page. Each of the three banners depicts the recently deceased King Harald V and his royal monogram, with the text of the top banner reading, "Gonagas Harald V, 1937-2026" the middle banner, "Gånågis Harald V, 1937-2026" and the bottom banner, "Gånka Harald V, 1937-2026"

Looked it up and apparently it's slag from a rail grinder on a railroad. As the grinder goes along, superheated iron shoots out as sparks and resolidifies into these. Most of the slag is captured by the RR during the grinding process, but they miss chunks sometimes

Image of rail slag rock. It's shaped like a speartooth with deep, jagged grooves along its surface, which is what earns them the nickname of "shark's teeth". This piece is about the size of a human fist.
