Unionise, strikes, mutual aid, and other forms of collective action that leverage the power of a group of people to their benefit.

Fights though? Where did you get that from?

If the only thing you know about Bolsheviks is that they are spooky skeletons, you might be convinced.

I'm a Dark Souls enjoyer and a communist struggling to decide if I agree.

I'm trash at these games, but that's why I enjoy them. Is it all accessibility? Can some people just not enjoy that sort of thing?

Hey now, just because we're communists doesn't mean we can't have a dozen different brands of the same joke.

A three letter agency employee has just learnt about the process of elimination.

(Athel for short)

it would imply the "non-rogue" Russians are somehow better.

This "Good guys or Bad guys" logic is why libs keep simping for any nazi that has the same enemy as them.

Would these western leftists...

Yes. The western left loves the communists who were crushed.

You would hear "Stalin would have built a much better nation than Mao did." Just like you hear about Trotsky.

One day I hope to see a map of Chinese flags around the US, but instead of military bases it's just Chinese built infrastructure.

It needs a name. I think Gabe the Dragon suits it.

I've never understood how you could actually effect sparrow populations in rural China. I used to consider it one of the L's of communism until I thought about the logistics of it.

You might be able to drive birds out of a densely populated city with a bit of effort, but Mao-era rural China? What?

So much talk about "understanding Marx" and yet they somehow miss the entire concept of Material Conditions.

Marx sure as hell didn't think we'd see full communism spring out of an agrarian Russia in a couple of decades.

I'll add that the word comes from "Ultra Left."
