Roadside Picnic.

Oh shit… I was immediately told that they were Trans (per usual by my typical reactionary family member), but not of this. What a strange, contradictory patchwork of details.

Having to get a job after dropping out of college; was introduced through Unions (local PetsMart actually got unionized at the time). From there, it was summary education and living examples in regards to the contradictions of Capitalism, class struggle, class antagonists, etc. Finally read the Communist Manifesto, and it made sense- and now continuing to read (though slowly, ADHD).

Especially so when they [the Mujahideen] are so adept in pedophila and illegal opium trade, lol.

Poor woman. This is just typical for Texas, it’s just such a huge sinkhole full of shit.

Yeah, it used to be the biggest subreddit on the website, with tons of ‘Jailbait’ material posted daily. The mods were powermods of numerous other subreddits- including that Maxwell account. It got taken down eventually, but only after years of it having topped Reddit’s charts. It was a big fiasco back then.

You also have to observe the audience’s class orientation. I say this, having failed and realized the futility of trying to agitate to my Petite-Bourgeois & Labor Aristocratic family. It can be possible to successfully agitate non-Proletarians, but their class interest and conditions push them towards reactionary or conservative views- such as my family.

Do you have any readings, sources, etc; about this? I cannot seem to find anything about this online, atleast not in English. Seems like something very important that would explain why there was such a conservative atitude on sexuality in the USSR.

Yeah, it’s 30s to 20s here in the semi-arid (usually) hotbed part of Texas, where all the oil gets sucked up. Not to mention the rainpour. Lights were flickering in my home too, so the (state’s) energy grid is probably being strained to its limits already. Honestly love this type of weather though.

I did not know about that, I always knew they were not Marxist-Leninist, of course; but I always assumed they were adjacent in some form or another- even if often described (by others) as Libertarian Socialists. Do you have any link to this statement? Spanish is fine.

Saw some post on Leftypol that was railing against Marxism-Leninism and ‘Authoritarian Socialism’, praising Libertarian Socialist movements- and included, as examples, Rojava and Zaptistas as successful movements (even saying they were much more successful than the Soviet Union, China, etc). Though I give the Zaptistas slightly more credit than the Rojava. Wonder how they feel now, lol. If I find it again, I’ll screenshot it and edit it onto my post, it was bizarre.

I know how it feels to be a part of a reactionary Hispanic family, so do not feel as if you’re alone in this type of situation. No, haven’t been on Twitter in a few years and definitely not on this name. Sorry for the super late reply. *edit: Actually, maybe, I do have a Twitter account with the same name but I doubt it was on anyone’s radar since I never posted anything, really.

Oof, that is terrible. Mine are definitely reactionary, but not to such an extent- the most being their belief in racial stereotypes, I guess. My heart goes out to you, it cannot be easy to stand them, knowing that.

Are they quite reactionary? I’m thinking it’s just the specific conditions of my family being Labor Aristocrats or Petite Bourgeoisie leading to such reaction, and not any sort of culture or ethnicity. It’s just so disappointing. They’re extremely individualist, and believe fully in the “American Dream”- to such an extent that, when I make a joke about it (i.e: “You gotta be asleep to believe it”, etc), they get provoked.

Anything to fuck over ‘Texas’ and this wasteland is a plus. Down with the Alamo.

I was just thinking along this same line two days ago. My fucking petite bourgeois family was talking about how, in Cuba, Venezuela, etc; that the people have “no weapons” and, as a result, they can never oppose supposed “socialist electoral rigging” or “dictatorships” (I imagine you get what I mean, it’s that same bullshit capitalist propaganda). These same stupid assholes will never use the guns they have for “protecting our rights”, and “protecting our communities against the government”. Without political and class consciousness, they’ll never get further than mild discontent. They’ll never raise a barrel if they already have accepted it as normal, they’re so atomized from one another that they cannot form any sort of collective resistance- if push comes to shove.

My step-father said she should have complied. How easily these supposed freedoms that the “great” American nation creates, gets thrown away- and fast. Unfortunately, I am forced to hear such Petite Bourgeoisie reaction everyday.

Your average Proletarian here knows little to nothing about Socialism, Communism, Marxism, etc; though of no fault of their own. Their class consciousness, however repressed, is still exhibited; there is just no revolutionary, especially in the far-flung isolated areas, to guide them there. So you get this, lol
