Only Zionists would think to give up latkes to own the Palestinians 🤪

Fire on the Mountain (1988) by Terry Bison is an alternate history novel that takes place in an African American socialist republic a century after Harriet Tubman's and John Brown's successful raid on Harper's Ferry. I've read some of it and have been meaning to finish it. I suppose it's quite explicit in its socialism, however.

2312 (2012) by Kim Stanley Robinson is a science fiction novel that takes place across a colonized solar system with multiple POVs. I quite like it, but if you much prefer narrative over worldbuilding then you may not. However, it does fit your criteria better. Socialism appears to be the predominant mode of production, with references to widespread worker co-ops (the author is obsessed with Mondragon), solar-system-wide economic planning, and I don't think money comes up at all... Earth seems to be kind of fucked up though, so I guess you could say it has FALGSC but not FALGEC. Finally, I should note that Kim Stanley Robinson is not a Marxist.

Little Chinese Everywhere. I watched her video on Tulous but she has many others.

I love Hausu, although it's been a while so I can't recount the plot very well. Not sure how scary it is. My friend loves Martin, and I like it too although I don't really find it scary at all. Maybe somewhat thrilling. Recently I saw Donnie Darko and that was a bit scary and certainly thrilling.

Return to buttons. This "infotainment" fad is seriously dangerous.

Some of the endnotes inserted by Progress’s Stalinist editors in editions up to and including the last editions in the 1970s are fraught with polemics aimed at prejudicing the reader against this or that Bolshevik or revolutionary who, since Lenin’s death, had fallen out of favor with the current leadership of the USSR at the time the notes were inserted. Wherever possible, we have deleted, corrected, or toned down these polemics. In addition, we have added our own notes where appropriate, integrating them into the whole of the endnotes for each document.

Wow yeah that's pretty ridiculous. They claim to be archivists and yet they're clearly editors.

Ah well I'm a bit of a centrist. I only want to ban like 95% of cars. I like that energy though!

High speeds in urban centers. You will go 30 km/h and you will like it! 😈

Reuters, NYT, NPR etc. are all using the opportunity to complain about Xi of course, but no conspiracy theories yet. I went with the People's Daily article cause it doesn't use his death as an excuse to write an opinion piece. Also it's straight from the source.

I'm a nukehead. I want nuclear cargo ships, I want coal factories to be retrofitted with SMRs, I want nuclear airplanes, I want nuclear rocket engines and nuclear bomb propelled rockets, I want nuclear synfuel and nuclear hydrogen and nuclear desalination. The only thing I'm not sold on yet is doing excavation with nuclear explosions.

But to be realistic, I'm mostly just against the environmentalist demonization of nuclear energy. We need more nuclear energy than we have right now, but it's ahistorical to advocate for a fully nuclear economy in the era of renewable energy. Something like China's clean energy mix seems pretty reasonable.

I for one denounce the heinous acts of violence committed by the Haitian rebels. Stand with France!

 

When I browse the all section, it's overwhelmingly reddit logo and Facebook humor. I haven't really seen any niche hobby communities either. Do good communities all block lemmygrad or are they nonexistent?

Discussion for the week of Monday July 10th to Sunday July 16th.

Link to last week's thread.

 

Qin-aligned cetacean patriots have taken control of a billionaire submersible. AtlantiSS will fall.

Now even Starbucks is tossing aside the queer community. I will now paste reporting from the Starbucks Workers United Twitter. I don't recommend you actually go on that site, the replies are full of blue-check fascists.

spoilerBREAKING: In the middle of Pride Month, Starbucks BANS Pride decorations in stores across the United States. For the last two weeks, Starbucks workers have taken to social media to report that the company is no longer allowing Pride decorations in-store. This seems to be the first year the publicly “pro-LGBTQ+” company has taken this kind of stance. Taking a cue from Target, who bowed to anti-LGBTQ+ pressure and removed pride merchandise, corporate and district management are taking down the pride decorations that have become an annual tradition in stores. In union stores, where Starbucks claims they are unable to make “unilateral changes” without bargaining, the company took down Pride decorations and flags anyway - ignoring their own anti-union talking point.

Starbucks is powered by many queer workers, but management has failed to materially support the LGBTQ+ community. Last October, some workers have reported that their transgender benefit plan changed, causing them to pay out of pocket fees and lose access to certain providers. If Starbucks was a true ally, they would stand up for us, especially during a time when LGBTQ+ people are under attack. A company that cares wouldn’t turn their back on the LGBTQ+ community to protect their already astronomically high profits. True allyship with the LGBTQ+ community is negotiating a union contract that legally locks-in our benefits, our freedom of expression, and ways to hold management accountable.

Starbucks Corporate is denying any change to their policies on Pride this year - but if that were true, why are there countless stories where workers are claiming the opposite? Starbucks partners have been making TikToks about the situation in stores - some going as far back as weeks ago. The company can't ignore what is obviously a huge shift for this year's Pride in stores.

 

Raise your hand if you support giving Ukraine tanks. Yeah, that's what I thought. 😤

 

They'll be stopping at dozens of locations and will have a rotating crew. The journey will be made by both a double-hulled canoe and another canoe with an engine. The entire route will be 43,000 nautical miles. Very cool!

 
 

Many American netizens on the right-wing social media website Twitter are calling foul play. Could this have been done by the radical terrorist organization known as the "Tyre Extinguishers"? Only time will tell...

 

The Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang absolutely has a right to exist under the people's democratic dictatorship!

 

They're saying it's smoke from wildfires, but you never know...
