mais ou menos, relações bilaterais enriquecem o país e o governo sabendo surfar isso, pode melhorar nossa condição interna, isso não significa exatamente apoio internacional aos comunistas, ainda mais pq os partidos consideram a china como capitalista e imperialista. o pcr/up considera como isso, o recem formado pcbr apesar de não ter linha definida sobre isso, tudo aponta que vai em algo semelhante a up, e os maoistas e trotskistas nem precisa falar né...

not only islam, other cultures that had some level of comprehension of queerness got leveled and today are very homophobic places, like india, the exception being the philipines i think.

the inca empire had a bissexual god, other native people in the south america had what they called two spirits, can't pinpoint exactly if that was intersex or nb, chinese religion had a gay god, india had a third sex.

wherever the colonizer set foot, they sure taught the locals to abhor queerness to the bone, for example in brasil, i don't remember if it was the french or the portuguese considered the two spirits a aberration and sentenced those people to execution my canon.

"y'all just asians to me"

tl;dr: it was fucking made up by south korean intelligence to undermine north korea on the world stage due to recent rise in tensions between the two countries.

i strongly recommend the analysis of breno altman from opera mundi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwcS_8bpOqQ

here in brazil the mainstream is more sionist than israeli midia itself, not bullshiting you. they tried to cover and twist the facts about gaza genocide as much as they could. just now we are seeing a tiny tiny spark of critics because the bombing in lebanon, because there is a rather large lebanese community here.

lmao, what?

both countries relations is as good as it ever been, specially after the sino soviet split.

i heard vigotsky books are lit, famous soviet psychologist, if i heard right, he wrote about autism too and collaborated for current days drop of asperger name.

capitalism is so marvelous that applies it inversely, one part gets jobless, the other work like fuck.

I'd say to scale down said debates to not tank your relationship over that. if the debate is inevitable, the "didn't kill enough" depoliticize the discussion, and to someone outside our circle you make you look like a lunatic, so the best approach imo is bringing the discussion to context, like the other comrade commented quoting losurdo, recognize the repression but putting into the context the political situation soviet union had at the moment, surrounded by reactionary forces including the assassination attempt on lenin, to at least not end the discussion looking like stalin was a monster that killed people for shits and giggles. critic without autophagy.

i'm talking mostly with my dad, he worked his whole life, he knows how to handle stuff and some gold tips i got here.

mental exhaustion has been more demanding that physical i guess, i naturally have social anxieties, suspect of being neurodivergent so i'm not handling well the toxicity of the workplace.

i'm trying at least to be a contact with some new, to show that atheist are normal people, not satan worshipers that eat babies. but sometimes i fell overwhelmed and that i shouldn't speak progressive topics, since their first contact with one communist has been disappointing since i don't fit the ideal worker and leave a poor impression that communists are fragile, spoiled, smart pants and etc, plus due particularity of brazilian politics, people are very immersed on neoliberal ideology of each on your own and people have disdain for politics subject and see parties in general as parasites that show up only to ask for votes in election years and steal their money.

thank you very for the message.

sadly there are no unions around, i do talk with my dad about it, he has some tips and tricks on surviving in the factory. may be a controvert take, but interacting with coworker has been taking a toll in my mental health, i'm not a manly man you know, everyone else try to be stronk men and lots of homophobics jokes around, that i don't find funny.

i will try to put what highalectical said in simpler terms, and starting pointing out that this discussion is very very important to new people.

so, how communism itself will look in the future will be determined by the material conditions of the future, since we are not there yet, we can't say for sure, only speculate. but you can say you dream of a society that has x characteristic.

the same goes for socialism itself, how its gonna look for each country, will be determined by said country, for good or bad. that is why soviet socialism is different from chinese, that is different from yugoslavia, that is different from korea and so on.

but if we take all of those and try to dawn similarities, we can note a certain tendency, and that tendency is a uplift on quality of life, like the other comrade said in another comment, drastic reduction or extinction of illiteracy, full employment for long periods of time, agrarian reform, reduction or extinction of homelessness and so on.

and why that discussion is important, there are some revisionists line that throw materialism out of the window and create an abstract form of socialism, and they use that abstraction to shit on former socialists and current ones, for example abolition of family and moneyless economy, no socialist country ever came close to both of these, so these lines spew that there was never a "true socialist country", all were horrific oriental despotism dictatorship and etc.

first, thank you very much from your message, it helps a lot.

i'm thinking of quitting too, still have some money left from my previous job, that i was saving to buy a house.

i'm very used to insane deadlines, being pushed around by higher ups and whatnot, but i'm good at some stuff and always managed somehow, this time it is physical work and there is this annoying guy that isn't even a higher up, a lowly employee like me, but like to bosses everyone around, people hate him, even from different parts of the factory, i'm also very bad at handling people, and get pushed around by this dude and he is major part of why i'm down.

i was talking to my dad, he said there was someone just like that in his time, lowly employee that works his ass off and likes to boss people around and gave me tips on how to handle, although not sure i will be able to carry forth with what he said, which is basically tell him to fuck off, especially when he is the one tasked to showing me the rope.

that is a little part of why im collapsing, talking to coworkers. the whole place is pure toxic masculinity, even tho, im not a "manly man" and nowadays i simply can't engage in homophonic jokes anymore, don't find them funny. also decided to experiment a little and told when asked which church i went, that im atheist, well that also didn't went very well.

after these few days I'm realizing that the communist movement has rough days ahead, in overcoming the neopentecostal binds, while being everything that the common sense hates, women, atheists, lgbtq+, african religions and etc...

there was that one time in high schools that i used a small sock that didn't cover the achilles tendom, it burned my skin from friction alone, after that i always make sure that my socks are high enough to cover all my feet.

the problem in having with the boot is that it is a bigger size and it has a shitty insole so my feet wiggle inside and the sole is hard, so that makes my feet hurt like fuck, also i walk a lot during shift to grab materials and whatnot and there isn't a place to sit nor time, i will put a distance calculator on my phone to see how much i walk daily.

thanks for the tips, i will get the correct size shoes and some decent insoles, one day and my feet already hurt. i will see about protein at home, since the factory forbids the entrance of any liquid due to problems with workers drinking alcohol on shift, the least we can do is bring empty water bottles and fill with water inside the factory.

as for hearing im comfortable since i don't work close to machines. when picking up things i squat, so it doesn't hurt my back

i get the joke, but if that was the case, gotta scratch half of each european country

i gotta work up the courage to do some exercise at least to not be so deadbeat and you know, prepare for revolution, im thinking in doing capoeira, since the least shitty body part is my legs and i have natural flexibility, which could be better if i practiced. my first thought was tae kown do but theres not gym that teaches it in my city. gotta get fit and learn some self defense, fascists are getting bold out here.
