Progressives should not make the same mistake that Ernst Thälmann made in 1932. The leader of the German Communist Party, Thälmann saw mainstream liberals as his enemies, and so the center and left never joined forces against the Nazis.
Why did he see mainstream liberals as his enemy? 
Why did he see liberals as his enemy, motherfucker!?!? 
The Hugo awards are being shit again and barring Babel & Iron Widow from the awards but because this time it is hosted in China of course it is the heinous seeseepee that has tainted the pure and honorable Hugos
A second Chiddingfold has hit the Bangor.
My current obsession is Normal Gossip which is mostly just a fun anonymized gossip podcast about real people. They have a slight left bend as their parent company is a worker's coop but it's mostly fun. Highly recommend!
And everyone is free to fight you in court and sue the shit out of you if they find a flaw in your design.
"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread."
Wonder how wealth plays into the material reality of going to court. 
How many of those lawsuits against eminent domain in the USA were successful btw?
Does anyone know what the cultural connotations of the term Huxiang might be in a somewhat artistic context?
Yeah, that's mostly what I remember from history textbooks at school, plus some stuff I observed from living in a relatively small town in Russia, plus some of my family history and talking with older folks who actually lived in USSR.
Crazy thing about anecdotal evidence is that I can have some too that literally directly discredits yours having known some oldheads of my own. So whose internet anecdote friend wins out lmao.
The number's cool and everything, the question is - how it was obtained. For example, newborn mortality and that of mothers that gave birth might've taken a huuuge toll, and then it obviously decreases when we roll out proper hygiene and vaccination.
Even if it is average and not proper accounting of the actual lifespan, if there are so many child/birthing deaths that your life expectancy is getting dragged that far down... that is sign of a deeply unhealthy society.
Was that done in the tsar Russia? Idk.
Extremely easy information to find... https://www.statista.com/statistics/1041395/life-expectancy-russia-all-time/
Also, even if Alex the Second was a bit of a liberal tsar (conditions were still terrible for most), do you know what happened under his evil-minded tyrant of a son Alexander III? Because politics are not stagnant.
No worries, I'm sure it happened. It's very human. I just love reading about weird burial sites.
basically anyone that ever got eaten by a tiger ends up buried with a tiger skull (because the group they belonged to hunted it down after it became a known threat).
That's metal as fuck, do you know where I can read more about this?
Stop trying to make "The crusades is imperialism!" or "the crusades were settler colonies!" A thing.
So lenin called the eponymous process outlined in his Imperialism thusly certainly to be evocative of previous imperial projects but he was outlining a contemporary system that only can really exist under capitalist economy. Some empires could be argued that they engaged in a form of "proto-imperialism" within this definition because there are certainly through lines. All that being said, this is a semantic argument that I try to avoid by making clear what type of "imperialism" I'm evoking.
