A fellow swarm member, I see

Yeah. It basically goes like this: you take a piece of paper and a pen, then you just write nonstop until you hit a defined limit (I chose 1 page as my limit, but you can choose something else like writing for 20 minutes or smth). You write whatever comes to mind without ever stopping before you hit the limit, with no regard to grammar or how ideas connect. Just let the ideas flow.

Then you stop, take a break, and if you choose you can choose an idea that you wrote on the page of the first session and then expand it on the next session.

Here’s a guide made by the MIT

Trying out freewriting. It’s pretty useful for preparing to writing or to vent.

Last week, my father told me he knows I only go to church because of my mother. I never thought he would notice that.

It’s a bit of a relief for me.

You too Oppo!

Don’t be sorry. Thanks for making me think a bit more.

I don’t think I can answer that. I need to read more.

Keyword is “I”. You as an individual **cannot ** fight socdems or demsocs. You need an organized party. I didn’t phrase it well, I think.

Not necessarily. Liberalism is a “lesser evil” compared to full fascism. Assuming that socdems/demsocs are dangerous at every moment is idealism. For example, The CPC allied itself with the Guomindang when it came to the fight against the fascist Japanese. Also, when it comes to solidarity with the White proletariat of the Global North, we shouldn’t forget their complicity, but we have White comrades here. Remember what Fred Hampton said:

We got to face some facts. That the masses are poor, that the masses belong to what you call the lower class, and when I talk about the masses, I’m talking about the white masses, I’m talking about the black masses, and the brown masses, and the yellow masses, too. We’ve got to face the fact that some people say you fight fire best with fire, but we say you put fire out best with water. We say you don’t fight racism with racism—we’re gonna fight racism with solidarity. We say you don’t fight capitalism with no black capitalism; you fight capitalism with socialism. – Power Anywhere Where There’s People!, Fred Hampton.

Apologies for pulling a quote here, but I think it fits this context. I know White people benefit from the spoils of imperialism, but they are proletarians with false consciousness. We shouldn’t dehumanize them.

In a nutshell, dehumanization is the tool of fascists.

Whether you like it or not, our target audience holds the beliefs depicted in the meme. They hold petit bourgeois consciousness because this is the default of a bourgeois society.

If you want to attack something, attack the belief (like this meme does). Don’t attack a person unless they are fascist.

Do they have a job? I feel like the left-wing mentality can’t really take hold until one becomes object of exploitation.

No dehumanization, comrade.

You forgot this one: “[insert media here] was supposed to be a WARNING, not a INSTRUCTION MANUAL.”

Poor Latin America. So far from God and so close to the US.
