Welcome everybody to the weekly Tradition of our group our Weekly Discussion Thread. This week I have no witty clip or introduction as none seem appropriate, all I have is anger and sorrow.
• Matrix homeserver and space
• Theory discussion group on /c/theory@lemmygrad.ml
• Find theory on ProleWiki, marxists.org, Anna's Archive
Never forget who we are fighting against. The imperialist system.
This is a global fight. We have to do for our loved ones and, if you are a parent, for your children. If we don't fight, tragedies like this will keep repeating.
الموت لأمريكا!
Death to America!
الموت لإسرائيل!
Death to "Israel"!
تعيـــش المقاومـــة!!! 🇮🇷🇵🇸🇾🇪🇮🇶🇱🇧✊🏼
Just want to say that I’m really stoked there’s genuine community and activity both here and across lemmygrad / lemmy. It’s been harder and harder to swallow my disgust using reddit and feeding the machine just to keep in touch with the world. Thank you for the work you’ve put into this space, comrades.
I recently found this place/lemmygrad and I am so glad that I did. I had recently gotten banned from what I thought was a leftist forum for questioning the propaganda against DPRK and was honestly kinda lost for a while before this place. I've not posted before (until this one) but it's been vital for having me informed on the state of the world without being influenced by imperialistic bias.
Same, I haven't been commenting or contributing really, but this space has meant alot to me, especially the past couple of days
In a break from usual Tradition I this was the second place photo for this week
The backpacks from the Elementary School, the United States decided to bomb. I have no words, only anger and sorrow.
🫵 You WILL have hope, comrade.
Have a great week, everyone. Stay safe if you're in potential danger, and if you're in one of the imperialist aggressors, do what you can to damage the war efforts! Ideally your org will be doing good work already, but be sure to combat hasbara and misinformation when you can. This is an unpopular war in a string of unpopular wars even in the heart of the Empire.
As always, communism will win.
Fuck the kkrackker empire and its zionazi colony.
At this point, I genuinely have a hard time trusting white people on anything. eurokrakkers seem to only know the language of genocide, war, and imperialism.
The United States has launched a military operation in Ecuador to combat drug trafficking

Trump really has some horrendous military advisors. You’re suffering massive war resource losses in West Asia, actively spending billions on war resources there and now boots on the ground in South America.
Really living up to Reagan’s war on drugs and Bush’s war on terror at the same time there, Donny
Some of the places that are getting brought up in the megathread, like Bahrain, are really making me feel I need an ML crash course in what all is actually in the region and its recent (decades) history. There's a decent amount I know, but I'm realizing how limited it is.
What is happening in Bahrain is what it will look like when the imperialist presence weakens in every country of this world (it will be more prominent in the weakest links in the Global North and the Global South). That's why it is important to organize.
Opportunities for a revolution like Bahrain will keep appearing as long as the imperialists power declines.
Great point!
My heart goes out to all the victims of USian imperialism, the enemy is strong, but the united people will win.
These are harsh times comrades, don't let despair take you. Take care of yourselves physically and mentally. We need to be at our best to face this head on.
I wish you all a great week! Communism will win, the imperialist enemies will fall
Happy International Women's Day, comrades. We hold up half the sky.
Well, my landleech decided to break off my rental agreement 7 fucking months early so his gf can move in and they can "have the place to themselves" and we share a kitchen which means I basically have no rights. Guess I'll just have to do what I can and hope I can find a place in this housing desert in 60 days or I'm fucked.
I don't even know what to say anymore man. You know what's hilarious? This fucker works at a homeless shelter even though he's part of the problem. What a joke. FUCK Ontario.
good morning! death to usa and its proxy israel. and also, while this is less relevant to the topic at hand, i will never stop wanting to wrest justice from the decrepit and rotten hands of unrepentant japan, who is still yet to issue sufficient reparations or admit responsibility for all those they slaughtered, raped, and tortured.
Planning a 2200 km pilgrimage takes quite some effort, it turns out. Nonetheless exciting times ahead.
Political wise it's quite, I guess? Next week there is a general strike in Belgium and a huge turnout is expected. And we have the 8th of march, of course. Though that's a Sunday, which lessens its publicity.
Also looking forward to get out of this job. I've seen a lot of weird things happen and everytime you think: well this has to be the most weird thing to happen, only for a guy to piss through our mailbox today. People really can be animals.
Finally making the plunge after a 2nd temp ban on reddit. Death to America, Death to Israel.
executive dysfunction is so fucking humiliating. i knew it was wrong, i had it looming in my head for a month, and then i fucked up anyway. stupid innit
Small motor rally in memory of Stalin
I don't think I've ever followed a war this closely before. It's kinda surreal, especially with the hits the empire is taking. I'm not sure it's the best thing for me though, how closely I'm following it; my abnormally anxious tendencies probably make it more nerve-wracking to follow. But also, it's like, this seems like a turning point of one kind or another, so maybe I'm right to be anxious. If Iran can manage to shatter the empire's hold in the region or even significantly weaken it, that's huge, but I still fear the opposite too. It sure seems like it is, in some ways, an existential fight for the independence of the region from western imperialism and the survival of the region against the nakedly barbaric onslaught of zionist colonialism. In that sense, I guess it is all the more reason to trust that Iran has a plan and is taking the stakes here very seriously. And to do what I can, however small, to further the fight of anti-imperialism.
holy fuck, scouring r/tankiethedeprogram and seeing the usual either hasbara bots or straight up fucking insane people is crazy. i swear to god i just saw one straight up copy pasted from like, maybe what could be just the intended 'output' or whatever cuz the comment which wasn't supposed to be a quotation had quotation marks on it. langley lazy as fuck today, my god
that subreddit fkn sucks so many times. omg. thought I was the only one who finds hasbara there.
for the most part i think i mentally block it out from being anomalous since it's largely just par for the course for mainstream social media, reddit is the opposite of an exception. it's just the stray commenter that gets there and starts talking about "You're just as bad as Israel for hating Israel" oh my god bruh. but you will, indeed, find them on like, every single post, so i think people just tune it out and forget that on other platforms like lemmygrad you wont find that sort of thing
Gonna post it here cuz it's not confirmed but apparently the accidental downing of 3 american F15 jets in Kuwait was done by a single Kuwait pilot lmao.
the ghost of مدينة الكويت
I feel like the standard of evidence has lowered, I see so many posts from mainstream western news sources. We shouldn't be so fast to react to that sort of stuff
I agree. I think on Lemmygrad this is being handled pretty well, the comrades here are being careful with what they share and appropriately skeptical over untrustworthy sources, but over on the other Newsmega i constantly see commenters far too often take rumors or news that just broke in the MSM at face value until someone explicitly debunks it - our modus operandi should be the opposite of that.
Bless that Marine Brian McGinnis for doing what he did, and fuck all the bootlickers come out to spread their filth.
The bullshit has been exponentially ramping up since DJT's election and it's probably only going to get worse from here. A new war in the Middle-East where we fight for Israel, the continued spread of ICE buying facilities for camps, etc, etc. Now, with this utter disrespect to human morality in Montana, breaking a man's arm trying to wrestle him out of the building for standing up and saying the right thing, we truly know what path we're being put on. You know shit's truly fucked when we've been doing things 100x worse than any lie we could tell about Kim Jong Un/North Korea.
Also, if you go and watch the video, the room full of people are just sitting there and staring off while a man gets him arm shattered.
issa march 8th, everybloody!
happy women's day! i know this is an important day to most of you since it's one of the traditions that are linked to socialism. we celebrate it here in romania
I hope you all have a nice week :D
Walked into work to see PSL on the local news in the breakroom.
Immediate whiplash lmao.
If only something like this was real:
Edit: I meant what I wrote above in the intention of americans to join the oppressed by imperialism.
I hate seasonal allergies with a burning passion. And the burning passion being my eyes and lungs.
im helping my friend who has depression and they got really fixated on heated rivalry and theyre making me watch a clip. oh my fucking god. of course im going to do it bc i love everyone and its very dear to them and i care about them and it matters a lot but oh my god
I have no party and I must revolt 🤐
marj bar amrika is my new vocal stim
I think I'm gonna graduate (and take chinese classes) and get a masters from somewhere like Peking University. Obviously I'll need good grades but after talking with a professor friend I think it'll be a good idea for me, and meets most of my goals
An actual Dutch marxist YouTuber (Left Laser) made it to the public broadcast to talk about upcoming municipal elections
My trip this summer goes through Basque Country and I can't wait to be back, such a based place
