William Z. Foster joined the CPUSA. The two fledgling parties also played a role.

A Communist Party exists to bring about a democratic revolution and then a socialist revolution.

We're not continuing capitalism; the capitalists are.

The New Deal, the presence of labor unions, and Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid, including the civil rights revolution of the 1960s/70s.

Neither was the IWW a "failure."

Or the CPUSA during its heyday.

Or the anti-war peace movement for Vietnam.

Or NAARPR and NAIMSAL

What do you mean by revolution? Do you simply mean a "popular uprising"?

Then technically, most parties have done that to one degree or another.

1917 general strike in America almost resulted in a revolution.

[-] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 16 hours ago

Yeah, the BPP wasn't a failure.

In addition, most Western parties are still around despite fierce repression and propaganda. The org I was apart of lasted 105 years so far despite it all.

They were toppled. They literally couldn't continue their careers after that. That's a victory. The Fifth Republic has existed since then.

That was a successful revolution.

I try not to delve into "conspiracism" (I know, I know, bourgeois do conspiratorial action, but I'm referring to the general overall attitude toward ruling-class actions or conspiracies; I believe that most conspiracies are out in the open and I'm not obsessed with "secret" actions or "deep state" doings). But I am interested in the current development of diseases and I try to get flu shots every now and then, despite my family looking askance at that. I'm trying to nip whatever I can in the bud before it affects my physical health over the life-span.

Do you think this channel is legit and who would you recommend in terms of keeping up with science-y news or stuff pertaining to disease, physical health, medical science, etc.?

Any YouTube channels are welcome!

I tried using Pluvia but can't. Pluvia keeps crashing for some reason.

And I tried using Winlator, but can't get it to work for some reason (I can't find the backup file where you're supposed to deposit the setup.exe file to play games on Winlator).

How do you get Winlator and Pluvia to work?

And how do I play Disco Elysium: The Final Cut and Devil May Cry 1 to 4 on RetroArch?

Psst! Steam mistranslates its VNs!

Okay, but seriously, you can hear it from the 3:00 mark of the video onward.

I have one "good point" or whatever you call them, but Shu has two "good points" and Wu has "three good points." I'm on Chapter 3. I've quailed the Yellow Turban remnant uprising and met all of Cao Cao's current officers. How do I accumulate more goodwill or "good points" regarding Cao Cao's forces?

I'm thinking of using a med to treat C-PTSD.

I have daily traumatic flashbacks.

How do I get rid of this?

What do you think?

Trying to find other songs by Shaddix and The HU.

And yet, China is using AI.

...I... don't know what to think about that.

...I really don't.

Because it seems that AI is just a scam.

It may "exist" but what it can do is a scam.

Maybe China thinks we have to use it just to "keep up" with the Western powers, but I dunno.

Anyway, interesting discussion with Adam Conover and Ed Zitron. It's long, but you can listen to it while doing other things. And the comments are interesting too, but then again, there are also trolls in the comments as well (AI supporters here and there).

Frankly, though? I oppose AI. I'm anti-AI. I'm anti-AI in China and anti-AI in America and anti-AI in the whole damn planet.

The 50s to 80s era of the USSR fascinates me quite a bit and I wish I could learn more about it.

Nothing biased, of course, but the science advancements, especially in the social sciences, have interested me, and their support for African liberation.
