they were all bougie as f*** it was insane, i never took in how many uni students are like at least upper middle class even in the socialism club

man i’m having some surreal moment rn i was surrounded by bourgeois kids and now i’m on the bus surrounded by working class people, this man prob just finished his shift and chugged a bottle of crown royal on the bus

surprised that guy isn't dead

He is in his soul

Trust.

but like as well how meaningless that whole s*** was for those kids for them it’s just abstract concepts they didn’t really have knowledge of em but like why would them they lived their whole with some type of security, but for me like my mom worked hard to own a house then lose it all in 2008 cause she didn’t pay off the mortgage and just for it happen again in with the next market crash cause we ain’t getting 250k in 4 years but this person was like anyone has the opportunity to succeed in capitalism if they work hard enough

where were you?

when all the dawgs needed help

it was a uni debate club and they made the topic capitalism vs socialism

if i wasn’t there it would just been socdem vs neoliberals

socdem vs neoliberals

was trying to click on "what drake album is tale care 2" but the recent threads thing moved down as i clicked and i ended up here thought i'd say hello

Welcome

got my paycheque and i ordered all 3 volumes of capitals see you guys on the other side in 2 years

let us know when you get to the Grundrisse peasant

jk lol that’s dope I’m thinking about going through all them once I’m done with this Althusser book

A KTT Socialism Thread Capital study group would be interesting

i understand cult of personalities around Lenin but i never got one around Stalin cause he just some moments where i’m like this man gotta be ed

Comrade

The root of most of Stalin’s problems is his bad understanding of dialectics

For the most part I take the 70/30 line tho. Maybe more like 60/40

Bro these landlords are so f***ing p****, we gotta start like doubling our demands. Convinced this landlord to hand over $8k to these tenants like it was nothing. They get really f***ing scared of tenants being organized and will just do whatever to get out from under s*** lmao

8k? Goddamn.

What's the reason?

Does anyone have a Documentary you’d recommend about the history of the USSR

It’s a long story so I’ll just copy paste the letter we sent them

“Good evening,

Omaha Tenants United is writing to you on behalf of your former tenants Donald and Destiny at 1732 S 14th St. Donald and Destiny experienced an inordinate amount of issues with their rental unit since the day they moved in. When viewing the house, the tenants brought up several issues with the unit including a broken AC unit, multiple plumbing issues including malfunctioning toilets and a leaking shower, structurally unsound ceilings, and a dangerously faulty fuse box. The tenants were promised that these would all be resolved by the time they moved in. However, when Donny and Destiny moved in on August 14th, none of these were addressed. The plumbing issues were so bad that Donald and Destiny were forced to use public restrooms while living there. On top of all these issues, there was a broken window and broken light bulbs that Donald and Destiny requested to be fixed multiple times, without anything having been done about them.

All and all, not only did Shanahan Management fail to provide adequate essential services, a dangerous environment was created and allowed to persist which threatened Donald and Destiny's safety, security, and health. These problems culminated on August 30th when Destiny was electrocuted due to water leaking on the ceiling falling onto the fuse box, requiring her to attend the Emergency Department. These conditions are simply inexcusable, and were clear violations of Nebraska Revised Statutes 76-1419 and 76-1427 of the Nebraska Landlord Tenant Act, which require landlords to provide essential services and maintain fit premises which are safe and in working condition.

Omaha Tenants United and Donald and Destiny are demanding the following as a means of compensating Donald and Destiny for these unacceptable slum conditions, which not represented a failure on Shanahan Management to uphold their basic duties as a landlord, but brought them physical harm due to the unacceptable slum conditions of your building.

The entirety of their deposition refunded: $1,740

All rent refunded that Donald and Destiny paid while they were renting from Shanahan Management: $2,205 (Note: Donald and Destiny were also promised they would not be charged for the month of October, but this has not yet been removed from their account)

Reimbursement of Destiny's medical bills: $2,000

An additional $2,000 to cover their moving expenses and general pain and suffering

In total, $7,945

OTU would like to remind Shanahan Management of section 76-1439, subsection (1b) of the Nebraska Landlord Tenant Act, which maintains a tenant's right to organize with a Tenant's Union or similar organization, and also prohibits any and all retaliation for doing so. Failure to respect this right can result in the recovery of up to three months rent, per section 76-1430 of the Nebraska Tenant Landlord Act. Donald and Destiny maintain their right to have any authorized OTU member speak on their behalf, and be present for any and all in-person and electronic communication

We look forward to resolving this serious issue quickly, and look forward to your timely response.

Sincerely,

Omaha Tenants United

@PhilipMorris I’m glad yall organized and got compensated. we need more of this
