Similar to all other wars, shitty but numb to human greed, at times.
Best when brought up organically, but steering toward it may also happen.
Teaching/learning and talking to as many people about it IRL, while also trying and failing on the interwebs.
Thanks, I may post later on, to space it out a bit. I may lose my patience and just post, hahaha.
Many different types of communism though, looking at countries with communist pasts.
Unions were started by them, not by liberals and the like.
Compared to today, unions are not that radical. More strikes are coming but both dems and reds stop them.
Looking at Biden breaking the rail road strike.
I think communists would be for gun rights and much more libertarian left polices, to a certain point.
The first international efforts at organizing workers were established by Marx himself. Marx led the International Working Men’s Association (IWA), which was a coalition founded by union leaders in 1864, aimed at uniting various leftist groups, including socialists, communists, and anarchists, to join in the common goal of defeating capitalism.
In 1872, the IWA focused its efforts on the United States, moving its headquarters to New York City. After it disbanded in 1876, the Workingmen’s Party of the United States (WPUS) was founded in its place. The WPUS organized railroad workers in the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, which started in West Virginia and spread across several states, leading to deadly riots. Over one hundred people were killed as a result, and in Philadelphia, rioters burned down 39 buildings and dozens of trains, as well as over 1,200 freight cars.
Unionization continued along Marxist lines, as did the violence. In 1886, after a confrontation between striking employees, strikebreakers, and police, a group of labor radicals (including anarchists and communists) held a rally in Chicago, now referred to as the Haymarket Riot. When one of the speakers at the rally shouted “Exterminate the capitalists!” police intervened, and things became violent. One rioter threw a stick of dynamite at police and shooting broke out; seven police officers and at least one civilian died.
As Weingarten noted in a recent interview, “80% of parents, most parents, want teachers to teach honest history.” That’s exactly what should be taught—honest history. Kids should know about the historical accomplishments of organized labor, and how employees came together to improve their workplaces. They should also know that unionization in America was driven by revolutionary Marxist organizations, and that unions often instigated and participated in rioting and violence.
Block everyone you don't agree with, that is a great way to learn of the real world.
That is what the working class struggle needs, more dividing between ourselves.
Yeah, label everyone left of Bernie Sanders a "Right Winger" so you don't have to think and have interactions with people that think differently than you.
[Verse 1]
Next phase, next craze, next "nothing new"
Got the pretty boy, beat him up black and blue
Broke the sissy boy's teeny toy heart in two
Turned him into a video kid like you
[Chorus]
I know we're just pretending
There's no window for mistakes
I know you see right through me
There's no promise left to break
[Verse 2]
Shot the pretty boy, killed him on commodore
Need a new game, need a new "something more"
Got a new face, got a new way to score
Got a voice like something I've heard before
[Chorus]
I know we're just pretending
There's no window for mistakes
I know you see right through me
There's no promise left to break
[Bridge]
The message misleading
We're lying, we're cheating
We're only repeating
The motions preceding
[Outro]
I know we're just pretending
There's no window for mistakes
I know you see right through me
There's no promise left to break

[Verse 1]
And boys are so cold; they speak without meaning
The only time they talk is in their sleep
And girls are a bore; their touch without feeling
Their secrets always far too grim to keep
And up until now, you've lived in their shadows
Trying hard to please them
But they'll never change as long as they're breathing
[Chorus]
Thinking hurts and thoughts don't rhyme
To those of us who've never tried
To find a face behind our lipstick smiles
And as our pretty faces die
Our broken hearts will wonder why
The makeup just won't hide the scars of time
[Verse 2]
And boys are so cruel; so don't let them find you tonight
And girls are so vain; so put them behind you tonight
I'll cast you a spell, a magic where everyone plays dead forever
And after tonight they'll never remind you
[Outro]
Thinking hurts and thoughts don't rhyme
To those of us who've never tried
To find a face behind our lipstick smiles
And as our pretty faces die
Our broken hearts will wonder why
The makeup just won't hide the scars of time
Awesome!
Another TBM fan!
Was just going to put a song of them this week.
Well, depends on what you believe.
The people I started to watch and learn from are more careful in what they belive from now on.
We know that their is a military induatrial complex, which means the more wars the better the profits.
While the pharma complex also, to a degree, has certain ways of doing things, to keep it simple.
Great to hear.
Many do not know of such options, I did not that far back.
edit: fix similarities typo
Awesome to see the similarities between: Newtonian Mechanics and Quantum mechanics
