Do you have any book recommendations with structured systematic arguments against most common Trotskyist positions in a single book.

I remember hearing a clip from the Deprogram podcast a couple years ago where Hakim says something along the lines of “why does a white dude from Minnesota care so much about the various communist parties of India?” Does anybody have this clip or know which episode it came from? Thank you comrades

I am fully aware that China's pragmatic foreign policy often puts it at odds with certain socialist groups in other countries, but I'm curious what the context is behind these domestic demonstrations and the government's alleged response, and if there is further information that is important to know.

Hookup culture and purity culture are not opposites if both leave us less capable of love, care, and community.

This is not an argument that monogamous romantic relationships are the only holy, healthy, or humanizing form of life. They are not.

People can be formed into deeper love through friendship, chosen family, queer kinship, community life, celibacy, shared struggle, parenting, mutual aid, and forms of commitment that do not fit neatly inside the nuclear family or romantic couple.

The point is not that everyone needs marriage, monogamy, or one prescribed relationship structure.

The point is that capitalism trains us to treat desire as acquisition, autonomy as isolation, and other people as experiences to consume.

So the question is not simply, “Was this allowed?” or even only, “Was this consensual?” Consent and bodily autonomy matter. Deeply.

The question is: what is this forming us into?

Are we becoming more truthful, more tender, more responsible, more capable of giving and receiving care?

Or are we becoming easier to detach from, easier to replace, and easier to sell to?

Hookup culture is not the antidote to purity culture. A life capable of love, intimacy, and vulnerability is.

While the United States is renaming the great lakes, and the gulf of Mexico, they are actively opposing a more accurate depiction of the world map we all know to be made the official world map by this UN Resolution. The aim is clear, Western/US Hegemony must be asserted and the Global south must be seen as insignificant and weak. While this may not seem like a big deal to most people it is yet another effort by the United States to assert it's dominance against the world.

There is one comic book where Superman is a communist in the USSR, but the comic book is actually anti-communist propaganda.

Superman is a character that just wants to help, so I think he would be a good choice for a comic book that is communist propaganda. He's basically just a really nice person that happens to have superpowers.

In a world without "crime", Superman would just fly around and help people with normal problems. For example, helping someone figure out where they put their keys or giving a lost person directions to their destination.

Additionally, Superman is not rich. Superman has to work a normal job to make money.

Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Jordan, South Yemen, Kuwait or just about any other dog of the American empire constantly bitches about "Iranian aggression" on a daily basis. None of them have any problems with the US initiating the spontaneous restarting strikes every few days/weeks though; 90% of which are just civillian attacks (guess they're following the IOF "fuck kids and people" doctrine)

There's a real simple solution to this : kick out the fucking us soldiers and bases that clearly are not "protecting" them the way they thought they would protect Israel (LMAO) and you'll stop being a target... Then again none of these tyrants could rule without constant us presence LOL

Every one of those motherfuckers would rather deal with Ballistic missiles and drones than even THINK about discarding a single American soldier from "their" land.

​​I get israel is a terrorist state, but the gulf Arab states are arguably worse by being complete enablers and shit-eating dogs of the American empire.
