I guess plankton was wrong about wikipedia

But nah rn there really aren't any significant leftist organizations in Ethiopia, but a lot do still hold left-wing beliefs. Mengistu really fumbled the bag like nobody ever did, damn near every organized political organization in the 70s was communist but he still went to war with all of em

Tbh Ethiopian history during the Derg is a big part of why I'm so against factionalism, it's not just unproductive but the human cost is very real when it goes beyond forum/twitter posts or petty beefs between organizations in the first world that aren't getting nowhere anyway

They did Corbyn so dirty

Quoting so I remember to come back and watch later/read all of your posts

Might be my favorite Marx quote

"The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt—your capital. The less you are, the less you express your life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life and the greater is the saving of your alienated being."

What are you guys favorite Marx quote

critical support towards Joker and his ppw against the corrupt elite of Gotham City and their lackey Batman

It is not the consciousness of men that determines their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines their consciousness.

Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living. And just as they seem to be occupied with revolutionizing themselves and things, creating something that did not exist before, precisely in such epochs of revolutionary crisis they anxiously conjure up the spirits of the past to their service, borrowing from them names, battle slogans, and costumes in order to present this new scene in world history in time-honored disguise and borrowed language.

Anybody who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without the feminine ferment. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair s***(the ugly ones included).

Inflation is real

There's a letter where Engels' wife died and Marx was like "dam das crazy, can you send me more money" and Engels didn't speak to him for a while until Marx apologized with another letter

Also Freddy called him Mohr (as in Moor) in the letters

what reading a library worth of linen prices and not talking to any humans does to a mofo

Man lives from nature, i.e. nature is his body, and he must maintain a continuing dialogue with it if he is not to die. To say man's physical and mental life is linked to nature simply means that nature is linked to itself, for man is a part of nature.

Autists can change the world fr

One of my friends here, who dabbles a lot in phrenology, said yesterday when looking at the photograph of your wife: A great deal of wit! So you see, phrenology is not the baseless art which Hegel imagined.
