PressTV is located in Tehran and publicly funded. I think the font in that image is Comic Sans? It's a common design mistake to use that font. Their website does look a little bit clunky, but their twitter feed is pretty good and their Television Channel is interesting.

This is true. Cenk says that he support capitalism all the time. Cenk was probably banned because he's always going on the British right wing Piers Morgan show as the anti-Israel guest.

I saw this story posted on Iranian news as well.

I agree but it's not like the megathread owns the URLs that are in the comments. The megathread people are set in their ways because they wish hexbear was a discord server.

If you see a comment in the megathread that you think is interesting enough to be a post, then you can make the link into a post (if it hasn't been posted).

Youtube algo recommended me this channel a few times. He's a licensed pharmacist and he reviews gas station pills. He made a review video for "perks", 6 days ago. I haven't watched it because it's age restricted and I don't use an account.

The asmongold tweet is real. I think the andrew tate tweet is fake. I don't see it on the cobratate twitter account.

I see a lot of users with like 1000 comments and close to 0 posts. Users are obligated to post the things that they want to see posted. If you (the girl reading this) are expecting something to be posted, then be the user to post it.

It's not hard to make 1 post a day. It takes like 10 minutes.

Maybe you saw a really funny meme. Maybe you saw an important news article. Maybe you read an interesting blog post. Maybe you have a special interest. Search to see if it has been posted today. If it has not been posted, then post it.

Don't post screenshots of headlines without including the link to the article. The article headline and the article are written by 2 different people and many times the article headline can be inaccurate or not contain enough information. Don't repost screenshots that someone else made. Link to articles.

Make posts that you think are interesting. Make the title of the post contain key details about the post, sometimes articles bury the lede. Include keywords in the title or post body, so that your post is searchable. Don't be afraid to comment on your own post to share your opinion about the post or include additional information. If somebody comments on your post to say that your post isn't interesting, ignore them, they're being a jerk.

"Even though at one time Trotskyism represented an erroneous position, but a position in the field of political ideas, Trotskyism became during the following years a vulgar instrument of imperialism and reaction. This is the way these gentlemen think. For example, in relation to South Vietnam, where a broad revolutionary front has united the overwhelming majority of the people and various sectors of the population, has united them closely around the liberation movement in the struggle against imperialism. For the Trotskyists that is absurd; that is counterrevolutionary. Yet these gentlemen who serve imperialism have the gall to do such an unusual thing in the face of the facts and realities of history and against the revolutionary movement and to express themselves in this manner. "

-Fidel Castro, 1966

Trotskyists support Lenin but opposed the USSR. They also deny the existence of AES states. They oppose China, Vietnam, etc. They also oppose labor unions. They're known for selling newspapers.

The flag says "Revolutionary Communist International". The pin and t-shirt says RCI/RCP. This is a well known Trotskyist party. They own the url "marxist (dot) com".

They're outside in a public space. They're not trying to hide their faces; they're selling newspapers. Trotskyists are most often criticized for supporting western imperialism. I doubt that they're in any sort of danger.

Nowadays anyone still showing it is absolutely being racist.

I think the only reason that Southerners stopped flying Confederate Flags is because they fly Trump flags now instead. Or the Thin Blue Line flag.

I watched the new Boots Riley movie at the theatre, 'I love boosters'. Without spoiling the movie, the movie uses Marxist concepts as major plot points in the film. At one point in the movie, a character just starts saying things like: "dialectical materialism", "heightening the contradiction", labour value being stored within commodity, etc. It even explains Hegel's Dialectic Method.

To me, the movie felt very direct in references to Marx. However, I'm not sure that other people who watched the movie in that theatre were catching the references. I think there's not many socialists in my area.

I overheard other groups of people in the theatre saying the movie was weirder than they expected. I hope that people who like the movie will remember the Marxist terms used in the movie and research those terms. Those people might accidentally discover Marxism.

Women's liberation is another big theme in the movie. The movie evokes the idea of like: don't be a side character in a man's story, women should follow their own ambitions, and women aren't obligated to fix men.
