I enjoy posting Soviet Art and propaganda posters. I love Marxism, and Marxism-Leninism in general.

The first few seasons are great. The 4th season is a bit of a mess. First it was cancelled, and later renewed, if I remember correctly.

Who’s “Unlearning Economics”? Haven’t watched any of his videos. Watched plenty of BE’s, but his videos are very “hit or miss”. His newest take regarding Maduro seems very… Odd. I’m wondering if he’s doing alright.

It’s an amazing documentary. But also quite horrifying. It’s quite disturbing having them describe and depict how they killed all those innocent civilians, who they suspected to be communists or left-leaning. It’s definitely worth a watch.

I use the NewPipe fork with Sponsorblock as an optional feature. You can get NewPipe on F-Droid here and the fork with Sponsorblock here.

As a rule of thumb, I always check their respective GitHub pages for links, I don’t really trust the Google Store. There are too many spam duplicates of various apps, especially FOSS ones.

Currently reading Inventing Reality: The Politics of News Media by Parenti :). A great book, but also somewhat depressing. Even though it’s quite old, it definitely still holds up. It kind of seems like nothing has changed.

You can read something China’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Zhang Jun, said here.

Basically saying to show restraint, to limit civilian casualties. And that the UN should push for a two-state solution.

Otherwise, you can follow the CPC’s official news paper, People’s Daily, and their “World” publishing here

And in general, Xinhua, the largest media organ in China: here. Also this and this.

Rest in peace, comrade Nguyen Phu Trong!

NYTimes is already out there wishing for a “less conservative communist leader”:

Mr. Trong represented a conservative Marxist-Leninist faction within the party, which includes another faction seen as more pragmatic and moderate. His death is likely to raise hopes in the West that a less doctrinaire leader could emerge. Mr. Trong, the only one in the 18-member Politburo who grew up during the Vietnam War, was a generation older than many of his peers.

In Denmark the conflict in Russia/Ukraine has resulted in accepting American troops being stationed here, and of course a massive $20 billion USD investment in the military, over the next 10 years. The articles are in Danish, use a translator if you’re interested.

Denmark has for at least 70 years always said no to having American troops stationed in our country, so it’s quite a big move. Very few political parties have been criticizing it this time around, except for the most left-wing ones (obviously including our very-small communist party).
