I mean if you’re under feudal relations supporting capitalism makes you progressive, but right now we’re operating under socialized production with capitalists constraining production around exchange value so yeah supporting maintaining capitalism is right wing. Let socialized production benefit society.

Hopefully Chinese democracy will prevail against western authoritarianism.

Authority exercised by the proletariat through a DotP is qualitatively different than authority exercised by capital through a DoC.

Read the analysis of the Paris commune in “State or Revolution”.

I think you’re getting hung up on an artificial separation of politics and economics, you should look up a critique of this or investigate why political economy is a useful framework for analysis.

Where is that video of the Chinese cop tearing milk company managers a new one for calling the police in response to workers staging a sit in as part of a labor dispute?

There are a few academic publications on this in the first page of Google search results

A munch is just a social. People chat and stuff, kinky things don’t happen, and it is generally discouraged to use the space for cruising. Different munch dress codes vary from “be very normycore inconspicuous” to “be decent”

What are you talking about have you never heard of emperor Comrade Puyi?

Really good book! A little bit inaccessible in the first two chapters though.

Jokes aside, a good start is to join a socialist org, participate, and start developing yourself politically. I believe cowbee has a good reading list.

But only if you’re doing what needs to be done.

Could you cite that please? It isn’t that I don’t believe you I just want to know where you learned it.

“Pogrom” was coined in Russia and became well known largely because of the Russian Civil War.

Weird I distinctly remember reading about pogromists being one consideration for the bolsheviks in how to participate in the 2nd Duma and that was before the Civil War.

What if fucking over those specific capitalists is a greater win for the capitalist class worldwide?

Buddy I’m already on team “Fuck the Tsar”

A bloody Civil War to end monarchism is not equivalent to what the US gets up to on a regular basis for the sake of making capitalists richer.

Well you see they shot some monarchists and that’s equivalent to murdering tens of millions of brown people somehow.

Hell, some women are attracted to boobs themselves, is it bad when they do it as well, or is it only bad when men are attracted to boobs?

I really like boobs too. But I don’t get distracted by them in normal non-sexual situations. The issue isn’t being attracted, it is the gaze.

I think you’re kind of being dismissive of what that commenter is saying. It is really uncomfortable being looked at like that.

Hey I’m not trying to tell you it isn’t normal to be attracted to people, lord knows I’d be a hypocrite. It just seems like you’re describing a learned behavior associated with the sphere of attraction that might make women uncomfortable. I know one of the replies to your comments mentioned being so uncomfortable by men doing it that they thought about getting a cosmetic mastectomy.

You don’t have to be good at drawing actually! The point of that sort of stuff (drawing people, still life, etc) is to develop drawing skills.

There are straight up indexes of photos of peoples breasts not presented sexually, if medical stuff squicks you out.

I’m just trying to suggest things because it seems like what you’re describing might make it harder to interact with women as people and might make women uncomfortable, and if that is something you want to fix there are avenues for doing that.

It isn’t that hard though. Go to a nudist retreat or beach, practice figure drawing (there are plenty of free online figure drawing resources), look at medical indexes, watch medical documentaries, just off the top of my head.

Actually sexualization- as opposed to attraction- to breasts isn’t natural, which is wild. There are plenty of cultures where breasts aren’t sexualized, especially near the equator in some traditional cultures where women go topless.

Also as a lesbian in the US who definitely has internalized sexualizing boobs, I don’t find it at all distracting when someone isn’t wearing a bra. Maybe it is just that I see boobs in non-sexual contexts so it only is sexualized within a sexual context? That might be useful if you’re interested in unlearning this habit.
