Country goes full fash (red flavor). Last holdout is the vanguard stronghold in the People’s Republic of Chattanooga that votes entirely third party

Can’t find much about the numbers of prisoners. But folks should check out the plan progressivo. (i had to use scihub to view) Most Cuban prisoners have short term stays (1-4 years). Are paid the same as civilians. Are watched and given political education by civilians who do the same work, live in the same quarters and eat the same food as the prisoners. There are lots of sports, with baseball being pretty popular. It kinda sounds closer to a summer camp with classes, paid farm work and camp counselors than what we think about prisons in the US.

Probably not, the US skirts the legal definition of a blockade by creating insane hoops to jump through. Countries that want to trade with Cuba can’t use the SWIFT banking system, meaning no digital transactions, meaning they literally have to carry the cash with them to the island and back. They have to use ships that can’t dock in US ports for 6 months after docking in Cuba (which Cuba having a gdp less than half a percent of US gdp means businesses have no incentive to choose trade with Cuba). And the trade has to be humanitarian, no military applications (but this also applies to medical and tech equipment which US says have “dual purpose”). All that said, there are awesome countries that choose to go through these hoops at significant cost and risk. But it takes a lot of time and planning to setup and get the right permits.

Probably the same goal as any ML party: Spread revolutionary ideas to wider audiences, expose contradictions in the bourgeois political system, develop organizational capacity and connect with and educate the masses. The vote number itself can also be helpful as a structure test for self-analysis. Where was PSL successful, what tactics worked, how did that contribute to cadre growing, larger protests, etc.

This is really similar, but it was a different meme

im not sure, it could have been. they made a lot of xi memes. their names on the tip of my tongue

Unions at their core are just all of the workers in a workplace. Sure workers in the US can be reactionary as hell so how do we change that? Well, Lenin talked about unions being schools for communism. They’re where the average person can start to gain organizational skills, political training and ultimately state building skills. These are skills no other school in the US will teach you. You take these skills to address the material conditions of the workplace and then you can broaden that to outside the workplace. As socialists we don’t get power from capital, we get it from people. If we want any chance of meaningful power in the imperial core, then we need to meet people where they’re at in the struggle. Lots of those people are workers struggling in workplaces and unions are the tool we can use to address that.

yup finished a few days ago, pretty lib, all the good guys are royalty, the bad guys are the church and a libertarian magician. Pretty standard jrpg fare tho. Fun gameplay

It’s been pretty fun, lots of dialogue though

I thought Leland Stanford Junior university was like a community college or smthing

The first few episodes have some cringe depictions of the cultural revolution but that’s mostly just to establish one character. Afterwards its mostly just cool space opera from there. I really enjoyed it. Haven’t read the books tho

Obligatory another kkkrakkka down unlimited genocide on the first world

Socialism is when union boss Communism is when union superboss

I feel like at this point, it’s just so they can stop working on the project and blame it on the inevitable C&D. The only project I know of that avoided this was the person who made a links awakening dx hd for pc, released the game in full and then they disappeared.

The Fed does the exact same shit it always does. They raise interest rates to discipline labor when it looks like workers have more bargaining power to leverage over profitable businesses. And then they eventually lower interest rates because not doing so would cripple the economy (cuz companies will just downsize, hold their money and not do anything). Inflation has way more to do with energy prices and global supply chains than interest rates.

Calling it now, they’re going to have the best and most reliable chips in the world by next summer

Bought a cheap steam key for smt 3 nocturne and modded the hell out of it. It’s been pretty fun aside from the time I got ambushed, insta killed and lost a few hours of progress because my dumbass never saves.

Guess they turned off the heart attack gun

He’s electable if YOU VOTE FOR HIM!!!

It seems they organized with CWA, which is a real union. CWA has been organizing heavily in game dev and tech for years now. For example the Alphabet workers union is CWA and they’ve worked closely with the no tech for apartheid campaign which is awesome. How strong the Bethesda local will be will depend on how active their members are.
