J-20 so beautiful

I was so much into comic books once that I can still talk about Marvel movies even though I haven’t watched one in years lmao. But nowadays things aways come back to politics, specially in the sorry state that my country is in.

Youre welcome! Hope it helps you

He is one of my fave, alongside with João Carvalho and História Pública

Well I agree partially, because if people are voting for socdems that means they are rejecting liberalism and other captalist alternstives. Also it means material condition of the working class should be better than in these other types of capitalism, so it should be easier to organize the working class.

There is one thing though: people supporting socdems doesnt mean they will support revolutionaries - in fact, they may even oppose it - and as we know, social democracy cannot liberate the working class, only the revolution can do that. The main problem with social democracy is that it “diverges” potential revolutionaries to reformist policies and this is dangerous. So even though social democracy could be seen as a steping stone, I dont think we should, since no revolution started from a social democracy (as far as I know), instead, by focus on seizing power, any victories achieved by soc dems would be achieved but we wouldnt risk loosing the revolutionary horizon

“What is bourgeois democracy?” (O que é a democracia burguesa?) from Jones Manoel

It’s okay, I’ll try to resume the main points. Even if its not as complete as the video maybe its a starting point.

He initialy is criticizing an author that views “democracy” as unique thing, without differentiating between burgeois and proletarian democracy. The author claims that a revolution would be an expantion of democracy and rights in the society.

Obviously, communists are not against such thing but its a mistake not to separate between the two. In a bourgeois democracy, you wont see presidential candidates that propose the abolition of the private property leading the pools in a normal situation. If this is happening, this is a bourgeois democracy in crisis. This proposal breaks one of the pillars of capitalism and of this system. History has shown us that when this happens, the bourgeoisie will use any means necessary to preserve the status quo, like they did with Allende in Chile. The only way for the workers to secure their interests in this case is to resist and overthrow the bourgeoisie.

But this is a rupture. This is a revolution and is outside of the “legality” of the bourgeois democracy. The only way to transition to socialism from capitalism os therefore a revolution.

Social-democracy is still capitalism, and a failure to secure workers interests by overthrowing the capitalists means that any victories of the proletariat can and will be taken away for them to profit. This is what hapoened with Allende, this is what happened in Brazil the last few years with the fall of the PT (workers party) and this is what happened in Germany. In all of these cases, what came next was fascism.

Social-democracies are better than fascism/liberalism and can help us organize the working class, but we must understand that the only way out, that our endgame is the revolution.

Do you speak portuguese? I saw an amazing video about this just yesterday, if so, I could send the link to you.

Im going to be become an secret agent to help comrades at the US

The craziest thing Ive learned in my life is that spider-man co-creator Steve Ditko was an “objectivist” aka Ayn Rand follower

How tf do you write about a working class hero struggling with money, hates his boss profoundly and fights bilionares and you are a fucking ancap?

Bro Duolinguo really works I could understand the first sentence quite easy and all Ive done was just casually fuck around with Russian there

but second one I have no clue lol

Good old 你好

All I could find in 5 minutes was this

30% iincrease in suicide rates in the US from 2000 to 2006

Maybe they can circunvent this by downloading Tails in a pendrive and using it whenever they wanna join lemmygrad

It actually doesn’t feel like a super hero story you know? That’s one of the reasons I liked it so much. Its more a (very) political sci fi than a super hero comic, so you dont have a clear right/wrong side. Except for Orchis, bc they are fucked up

Man I have a comic book you guys might like.

X-Men went through a reboot recently (2019) and they changed some stuff, but basically, after years of massacres and anti-mutant activism, they had enough and they built a Nation for all mutants called Krakoa. Its a really cool comic that honeslty is partially responsible for my radicalization. After this reboot, Krakoa became the status quo and in the first few editions of the new X-men series we follow Professor X and Magneto in their responsibilities as new nation leaders. UN meetings, bilateral meetings, etc. This is the setting of the comic book I’m talking about. It’s just a meeting. Nothing more.

But I swer to god this is probably the best things Marvel has ever made. It is unbelivably based. Magneto’s speech is amazing.

Just read it, I promise it is not big

X-Men (2019) #4

Tabata Amaral moment

I will do what a can to turn everyone that I know into evil tankies
