Hey, sorry it took me so long to respond. Well, I only spam once a week on my YT and a few times a week on TT. There are a few people watching ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ I used to have a PeerTube, but I can't keep up with it.

Peace Labor May from Kz (lemmy.ml)
 

Hello, comrades, Wow, it's been two years since I've come here. So much is happening all over the world. I'm so overwhelmed with everything. We've been trying to create something cohesive here locally, we fought a battle to unionize, we've organized with some local activists, and we failed, and we connected with some great people. I wish I had the capacity to keep up with everything, but I just don't. I am also very much in need of support and community. I was not able to keep up with posting videos on PeerTube. I'm kinda keeping up with YouTube and TikTok somewhat, and if anyone is interested in supporting a Marxist-Leninist from Kazakhstan who is neurodivergent and not good at keeping in touch with individuals, I would be glad to connect somehow. I can drop the links to my YouTube and TikTok, if anyone is using them.

Personal observations.

The protests in Kazakhstan now (www.kazakhstannews.net)
 

We have been experiencing a rapid spread of peaceful protests in Kazakhstan - starting in Zhanauzen over gas prices (which increased 100%), quickly spreading in the West of the country. Almaty protests started yesterday. The military (Rapid Action Force) were dispersed to stop the peaceful protests. The calls from the protestors quickly took on an anti-government sentiment. The people started fighting back since the Rapid Action Force started using smoke bombs against them. Some representatives of the military allegedly joined the people. Now the city of Almaty is quiet. Transport doesn't operate, no social media except Twitter works. Many people cannot go to work. Many roads are blocked. The president declared the resignation of the government cabinet. The state of emergency has been issued for two weeks.

do you read comments before you respond to a post? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 years ago

I always read all of the comments first. I very rarely comment myself, because very often, what I have to say has already been said. The power of the collective!

An sincere question on extremist beliefs in c/[email protected]

How do you define support? Have you looked into dialectical materialism? One can support *an entity and still see the contradictions, and still strive for the resolution of these contradictions. This is said a lot - communism is not a religion. It is not a static set of rules and principles. It is a science, and it aims to resolve the contradictions of capitalism through materialist means. We should not succumb to the black and white dichotomy that monotheism has been instilling into us.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 years ago

Erich Fromm's Psychoanalysis and Zen Buddhism. Maxine Hong Kingston's The Warrior Woman. Just finished Audre Lorde's Zami: A New Spelling of My Name and moved on to her essays. Still am tackling Fromm's The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness. Picking up Lenin's assorted writings every now and then.

Mega rant about individualism (watch.breadtube.tv)
A recent study shows that you can literally buy happiness by paying others to do tasks you don't enjoy doing thus freeing you up to spend your time the way you like.m (Direct PDF link) in c/[email protected]

If we come from a capitalist perspective, perhaps, we'll see opportunism. If we help ourselves and those around us see through the pseudo darwinist propaganda of "inherent competitiveness and greed" of humans, we'll be able to keep developing and implementing education that is aimed at self-realisation of human potential; and we'll most likely see a decline in "laziness" and self-service. Speaking of anecdotal evidence, do you see yourself willing to give freely to those close to you, and what do you expect in return? I personally want to give to my fellow humans, and I have known many individuals who are alike.

Yes, and what about building a society in which everyone contributes according to ability and receives according to needs?

Hello, there, comrades! I made a new, more casual PeerTube channel (some of you might have seen some of these videos), and would love it if you joined me there. I don't want to spam too much with "advertising" every video, so this is my invitation from me to you! Have a great one!

The time has come for us to talk about human aggressiveness. If you do not appreciate the gnomes, they'll take you you-know-where because you are the enemy of gnomes.
