The list is actually much bigger than that, we're more diverse than the queer acronyms now.
There can never be too much Latin American cooperation IMO. The USA better get ready to invade every single one of us ~~again~~.
I may be speaking out of my ass here since I've never done a book club, but I don't think that going through short pamphlets such as this one piecemeal is very conducive to interesting discussion. In the particular case of this one, it is only a short preface right now that there isn't much to discuss, but on a broader scope it can get into an awkward spot where most discussion will rely on either the further chapters or other sources. I understand that plenty of users are new to Marxism, but I think this format might fit better for larger books, since I'm pretty sure one can read the whole Wage Labour in 1-2 hours at most, which is quite a bit, but not enough to split it over what looks like will be 5 weeks.
Maybe we could have the "Thursday" thing be only for the name but make it a weeklong thing? I don't even know what to say about the first two parts other than "They go in further depth later on." I guess I could make a point that I don't remember them making there, that inflation without increase in wages is often just the reallocation and expansion of the surplus value to better benefit the bourgeoisie.
Oh yeah, it doesn't sour my mood or anything, I just wish they could at least be more creative in their anti-communism. I've interacted with a lot of open minded people over there too, but the West is just not sending their best in terms of anticoms. They're not a huge concern, just a sand grain in an otherwise delicious meal.
Most definitely! Not only is it important to help homeless people as the most vulnerable class, but a lot of anxieties of rent-paying proletarians are specifically about how horrible it would be to become homeless without any support. Just be careful that some countries have some really backwards laws over organising and helping homeless people. It'll also require a lot of training since some homeless people will be struggling with drug addiction or mental illness, and those need very special care. Over here we have the Homeless Worker Movement that does some cool ideas like free public restaurants in critical regions as well as more direct action such as coordinating occupations of abandoned housing
The "X" is there to remind you to close the tab ASAP. Always works for me, it's very considerate of Musk.
It's funny because usually the second presidency is the one with the least popular stuff getting done since they can just go on to retire and build Obama Institutes or whatever without caring about votes. Though I have no idea how he can top how bad his first presidency was. Ever since Sanders got cheated out of the primary I've been saying that Trump is just gonna get elected again, if not in 2020, in 2024. I'm just not placing bets yet because somehow the US also produced DeSantis since they aren't trained to de-escalate on literally anything.
He's actually already running though it's such a deflated campaign that you probably hadn't heard of it. There will also be no debates in the primaries as far as I've heard, so the DNC is just handing it to him.
The announcement video is pretty funny though. "DING... DING... DING... DING... FREEDUM!"
It's not like elections change anything, but at least he's a presidential candidate acknowledging the Indigenous population and their demands as well as actual anti-racist policies like reparations. He has some cringe takes and will never get elected, but elections in the USA are just excuses to show ads and at least he'll show some different ones. I'm pretty sure whoever is the Republican will win the election unless Biden dies of a heart attack and lets somebody at least halfway popular run instead, not that it'd change much. He did an interview on Red Nation if anybody wants to hear what he has to say straight from his mouth without having to trudge through newscorps. Don't expect much though.
That looks fantastic, we could nudge the developers a bit and they'll likely know how to help out. Sadly I don't know any Chinese (yet), but nothing is too much of a hurdle for big nerds. The model is so big that HuggingFace was having trouble building it, but people can try it out here now. The English responses are alright and we could probably even just host it somewhere.

It also helps that a lot of leftist are often ostracised from their own communities/families and have no other place than the internet to connect with other people. I deeply believe that online communities can be great gateways to "not thinking you're insane" when it comes to having sensible politics nowadays.
By that logic the entirety of America should declare unending war against the United States. Doesn't sound that terrible if you ask me, but isn't exactly the "humanitarian" approach.
There are two identities, queer and third worlder. All else is made up.
