Nobody's beaten the Khmer Rouge when it comes to worst communist party yet.
Israel has literally been bombing Lebanese territory for almost a year now, they just blew up random civilians in Lebanon, and now it is heavily implied that they are preparing an invasion if Lebanon. At this point, there is no way that Hezbollah alone is prepared to resist Israeli aggression, surely the official Lebanese government and military is prepared as well?

I've said it before, I will say it again: People have always complained about the current generation when their own generation was little different and was also complained about.

If somebody who is younger than 16 wants to learn about communism in a semi-ironic way, they could easily do so on Discord or Reddit rather than here. If they don't find memes about Hoxha or the Shining Path here, they will find it elsewhere.
Some people who are, say, 14 years old are more mature then the average person their age, or even more mature than the average adult. We should judge users by their actions and not their age. If somebody who is 14 follows the rules and acts alright, they should be allowed to stay, they should not be banned from the site just because of their age. If they don't follow the rules, they should be punished just like somebody who is older.
Negative stereotypes about young people are rampant and I do not believe we should contribute to them in any way, even if it's as small as banning them from an obscure internet forum.

Stuff like "Gen Alpha is crazy!1!1!1!1!1!1!" to me is not very different from literally every other generation being complained about so I can safely ignore stuff like that. I don't see how Gen Alpha is super different from any previous generation when they were around the same age.

I've talked about this with my therapist before and it really helped. Tony is 10 years older than me.
The depressive incident I mentioned was years back but I remember it just as strongly and the hatred is just as intense. I do not want to talk about the main details behind the depression.
Today, I am far less depressed but talk about any issues with my therapist. I believe that suicide is no longer an option for me as I want to fulfill my purpose in this life and see the capitalist system finally fall apart.

What does that translate to?
For people living in non-imperialist nations, the fall of imperialism will probably make life somewhat easier, especially since it will make the transition to socialism much, much easier. Many of us do not live in a communist country and do not have the opportunity or desire to move to one. Therefore, we must stay at home to fight to liberate our homeland. Because of how bad life is going to decline, what can we do to survive financially, mentally, physically, socially, etc? What can we do in order to help liberate ourselves and our nations? Perhaps we can look to our comrades many decades ago who conducted successful socialist revolutions in the past for inspiration, like in Cuba, China, Tsarist Russia, African nations, Indochina, Korea, etc. They were fighting in conditions much more dire than ours, or possibly even more dire than our future situation.

You are correct, I am actually referring to web culture. Thank you for pointing that out, I will correct my post.
I am definitely not the only person who thinks that. There are many people who share similar sentiments, maybe even including you, dear reader. Nostalgia is a very common feeling, just look at how many Russians want the USSR back! Having been born in 2005, I pretty much grew up with the internet going mainstream, with YouTube being created the same year I was born. Back when it was new, it was mainly used by hobbyists that wanted to show off ~~pirated anime episodes~~ cool and/or funny things they made for fun. (Forgive me if this just sounds like a rose-tinted petty bourgeois fantasy.) Then you know what happened next. Like so many fun stuff under capitalism, like JoeMarx has mentioned recently with video games, the internet was commodified and made into a dumbed-down addictive tool for instant gratification, all for profit. EDIT: I am referring specifically to web culture, not the actual technology of the internet.

But if they will that money into existence, that would make the Yuan less valuable and lead to inflation.
So we know that the USA can only avoid paying their debt because the USD is the world reserve currency, but once they actually have to pay it, it's going to be hell. How is China going to deal with their own debt? Because it seems like they have a *lot* to pay back.

It's needless to say that climate change is a very scary topic that is a lot to handle.

By "socially progressive", I am referring to the things we usually refer to when it comes to social progress: acceptance of LGBTQ+, rights for women, anti-racism, respect for youth and elderly, etc.
By "conservative", it would mean opposition to such advances in social progress.
I'm not the best at wording this.

Grizzly bear fur is highly profitable to Villagers. Long ago, the Villagers built Iron Golems that hunted the Grizzlys to near extinction. You are living in the long-term aftermath of this. The few that got rich from the bear fur trade have spent all of their riches and are just as poor as the other Villagers. Most of the Golems were destroyed by the Illagers. The Grizzlys are now all but extinct, they are survived by their Polar and Panda brothers.

Here I am, asking pretty much the same question again, only a year later. I ask again because conditions have changed a lot even in as little as a year.

We've already talked about school and how we can change it in the past. But today I want to discuss a specific topic related to school: bullying. As a neurodivergent person, I've had my own share of bullies pick on me in the past, two of which I was lucky not to get into physical fights with. There are so, so many people who have had even worse experiences with bullying. In school, children/adolescents pretty much have to be around each other, making it more difficult to deal with bullying. How can socialism deal with this issue?
Judging by how they don't like transgenderism, they stan Infrared, and one of the creators is a Catholic, we may be dealing with some patsocs.
I asked earlier about why Stalin was so propagandized, but I'd argue that not even he is as propagandized as the DPRK's leaders.
Sequel to my previous post asking how the Anglosphere and Japan would be decolonized.
USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and similar nations are settler-colonial nations where the indigenous people have been genocided to the point where settlers vastly outnumber them. How is decolonization going to work in this situation? Bonus: How is a post-revolution Japan going to reconcile with the Ainu and Ryukyu people?
I'm looking for an answer to this question that is based in Marxist analysis. You know what I'm talking about. Job positions that required advanced degrees when they previously required undergraduate degrees, positions that require bachelors degrees when they used to just require high school, positions that previously had no formal education requirements but now require a high school diploma, etc. Along with jobs that require more experience when they previously required less or even none. The most common answer I find is more advanced technology but I don't think that's the full picture. Can you guys explain?
