Anyone who has used rednote for over an hour knows Chinese people are:

1. Aware of Tiananmen Square
2. Able to acknowledge it as a tragedy
3. Fully allowed to share that information

If only this was true. I don’t see any emphasis on masking in any of the big communist parties rn.

At this rate, randos are gonna have to spend hours at a time analyzing if a single meme posted on the internet is AI, just to accomplish absolutely nothing.

Looks good OP.

Shit happens. Plenty of westerners have visited and been fine too.

TY!

To clarify: I have certain expectations that I hold a socialist country to. The best case scenario would be that the DPRK meets all my expectations and is a socialist paradise. I have no belief that the DPRK does or does not meet those expectations.

XHS? Is this some kind of app?

I do wish finding information about them was easier. It always ends up being a game of believing either the US state department, or the DPRK. Obviously can’t trust a word the US says, but I remain skeptical of what the DPRK says in a guided tour or in a glorified advertisement showing off a single new apartment building.

Would absolutely love to visit some day though. At worst, they don’t live up to my expectations of a socialist paradise and are just like any other country. At best, they exceed my expectations and I become a follower of Juche. 😂

It takes work, and it takes emotional patience with people. Screaming at the top of our lungs that we must have revolution does nothing. We must be teachers first, show the masses that their attempts at reforms are failing. If they are rational at all, they will listen. If they are not rational, getting angry and scolding them does nothing.

The western left (and I self-criticize when I say this because it applies to me as well) tends to be very infantile, very impatient, and has relatively low levels of militancy within it. I’m a full on hoxhaist. I have a very specific view on what I want socialism to look like, and what strategies I believe are actually beneficial. That being said, if I spend the bulk of my time engaged in disrespecting other tendencies instead of doing literally anything I will never see the world I want. No bunkers will be built, and I will be sad. ☹️

The average person just wants to see us do something. How often do communist parties in the west actually organize things themselves as opposed to hopping onto some liberal groups thing? If we can’t even, for example organize our own red aid in a remotely comparable way to what some rando charity is doing, we got a long ass way to go ya know? There is hardly room to bicker and try to dictate peoples lives and views until we’ve proven to be a force of good.

It was a hypothetical. Nobody is contributing to E-waste.

Is Russia being imperialist? Yes. Is Russia committing genocide? No.

That’s what I’m saying! It’s kinda awesome how long things get supported in linux land!

I’m not knowledgeable on the conflict, but it seems that most ML parties hold the position that Kashmir should be allowed to decide its own future.

04/08/25 - CPI (Marxist) : “Full statehood and democracy”

10/17/19 - CPI (Maoist) : "Our revolutionaries, PLGA (People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army) and other frontal organisations would go to Kashmir and help people in their struggle for independence,”

08/05/24 - CPP: “We remain steadfast in our support of the Kashmiri people’s inalienable right to self-determination."

12/04/19 - CIPOML (The international that APL is part of): “CIPOML also declares its solidarity with all the oppressed peoples and liberation struggles with primarily those of Venezuela, Iran, Palestine, Kurds, Cuba and Kashmir”

So you’ve basically got 3 separate ML tendencies here, and 3 of these statements are from parties that would be familiar with the region. Some of these groups have made more recent statements but nothing that contradicts anything they previously said from what I can tell.

I just meant after support is dropped. The CIP I think supports each of its kernels for 10 years? So whatever the last kernel is before they officially drop support will still be maintained by them for a long time. :)

This is the next war that the US will start dumping money into, isn’t it? :/

If anyone is actually using a 486 still, you can try using the kernels that the CIP maintains https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cip/linux-cip.git They actually still support kernel 4.4

I’m very for used hardware, some of my stuff is dumpster finds. I just liked the thought experiment of replacing a hypothetical 486 pc with a brand new computer.

I saw the luckfox products on aliexpress and they definitely looked cool!
