As if the US moves here in Latin America has not been worrying enough, the police of Rio de Janeiro just committed the biggest massacre the state of RJ has ever had, there’s more than 160 dead, and only 4 cops died. The governor of RJ is saying that the operation was a success, even tho they did not even get the person they invaded the favela for. From January to September of this year alone, the RJ police has killed more than 510 people.
Shit’s getting bleaker.
Turnout in The NL pretty low so far. Though people have to work of course.
Over here in Belgium at least you get a day off for it. But voting is also mandatory here.
At least turnout in the big cities is up, which could mean more leftist voters. Let’s hope it will be in BIJ1’s favor
Election day in The Netherlands today. Again, because we can’t keep a government for more than a year it seems.
Anyway, most of the topics boiled down to: ‘MIGRANTS’ as if that’s the only thing that matters now. Can’t have a single discussion about anything in that parody country without worrying about brown people.
Also, some dubbed the potential Green/Labour-Neolib-Christian Democrat government as ‘left wing’.
I see militarisation as the biggest topic this election but of course the media doesn’t
Probably because every single party except Bij1 and maybe SP are in favour of increasing spending so they don’t need to debate that. They know everybody will just follow Yankeeland on that one. And according to D66 you can horndog on Princess Amalia in the army too!
If after that statement D66 still become the biggest party this election, we have failed as a country
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.
Prolewiki is great!
work got me screaming fr
many such cases
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.

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?
You are currently in Belgium right? Its likely just drones in preparation for the soon to come russia-eu war
most likely a drone
100% a UFO. It was an object, it was flying and you could not identify it.
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.
I’d probably assume a drone. Though I’m a bit ruthless in my UAP/UFO skepticism.
I hope you all have a nice week :D
Have a nice week!
You too Oppo!
You too!

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.
Have a great week, everyone!
As always, communism will win.
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.
Congrats to my city! It’s Amsterdam’s 750th birthday today
