i don't understand why there is a left com tradition of quoting Marx like bible verses and ignore the emerging never before seen material conditions of a revolutionary state as it builds socialism

i’v never read a book so i don’t understand that either

so apparently the whites called the bolsheviks 'leatherites' because some wore leather, particularly trotsky who would go full leather daddy, but i had no idea his guards wore red leather

remember reading an article that criticized the bolsheviks for being "hyper-masculine" and the main evidence was that they all wore a lot of leather and had to fight a war

It was because leather was lice-proof so it lessened your chances of getting typhus, that and the provisional government received a massive shipment of leather flight gear from the British as part of the Air Force modernization.

I know we think cults of personality are bad, but having a Stalin or Mao figure is probably the only way we'll have socialism in America.

quote:


At one key moment, a woman in a flowing, black and white, Asian-style costume appeared. As martial-sounding music played, she walked the runway with arms outstretched, carrying what looked like a red velvet and gilded Valentine’s Day candy box. The women cheered as she paused, lifting the box to the heavens.

(Organizer) Ms. (Alice) Butler-Short took the stage, her substantial, bejeweled gold lamé millinery bobbing. “That signified our great president and the negotiations he is having with North Korea,” she said. The music, she explained, was the North Korean national anthem.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.
