    Does anyone know of a dictionary of Marxist terms and concepts? Found one from around 70 years ago, but it isn’t as detailed as I’d like. I’m wanting to have something like this to bring around with me to jog my memory talking about politics.

    If nobody has anything else, I may just make it myself and post it as some sort of collaborative thing, though I’d need to make the time for it.

    Bruh legit saw a UFO just now. Saw something flying in the air with lights flashing (two white, one red) but in a pretty fast way. I was like: damn that plane is flashing a lot. But then I noticed it was hovering in one place too. So I grabbed my binoculars but I couldn’t figure out what it was. It wasn’t a helicopter either because it was pretty far up in the sky as well. Maybe it was a drone?

      Well, observer effect would mean that’ll you’ll see more soon if it was a some aliens drifting some sick orbs. Otherwise probably just a NATO drone looking for weddings.

      edit: two white on red sounds like aviation lights as well.

        We’ve got an airport so it’s not strange to have lots of planes flying around but the fact it was hovering makes it strange. So probably just a drone. The army has been increasing drills lately.

    Be that voice that will never stop talking about the possibility of a new world. A voice that convinces people that socialism is the solution. A voice that sparks the desire for a better and fair world.

    Can someone tell me why I was told by an r/ultraleft member that Marxist Literature is banned in Dprk?

      Well, the “why” is only known to that r/ultraleft user. Unless that user could share evidence of a policy detailing the ban, Marxist Literature is not banned in the DPRK as far as I know. Marxist literature is referenced in plenty of popular books of Kim Jong Il:

      Maybe, the user is misinformed or misinterpreting the fact that the Juche idea(born from the teachings of Marxism-Leninism) is taught over other Marxist literature(twisted this information to reach the conclusion that it was “banned”). The answer that clears this confusion is simple and it is referenced in Prolewiki:

      • “In the early years of revolutionary activities, the leader (Kim Il-Sung) was well versed in Marxism-Leninism. But he did not confine himself to applying Marxism-Leninism to the Korean Revolution but pioneered a new phase of revolutionary theory from a steadfast Juche-oriented standpoint and resolved the problems arising in the revolutionary practice from a unique angle.” -> https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Juche#Marxism–Leninism

        This is exactly what I told him that Juche is born out of Marxism-Leninism and is still relevant.

      If literature is written in a asiatic language it loses its class chatecter or something.

      Most ultroids are about as chauvinistic as that kind of claim so i wouldn’t be surprised if I saw one say it.

    Sometimes I am reminded that the city I live in is 55% migrants (from everywhere around the world) and I’m amazed at the diversity. Over 180 nationalities in this city.
