This may not completely address the argument that the unemployed are lazy, but I think one has to keep in mind what unemployment benefits are for us workers. It’s an extremely good weapon against our employers. A high unemployment benefit means that we have less to fear when it comes to class struggle. So if anyone argues against unemployed people getting paid, they’re talking about stripping the workers of an important weapon they can use to improve working conditions for themselves in the future.

I feel like this text here was a really good read after “Marxism is a Science”. Written by a comrade named Roland Boer, he talks about what changes China went through the last 2 decades basically and gives good insights. It’s a great analysis imo and together with those excerpts from Deng Xiaoping’s speeches I read before, the optimism I felt was refreshing to say the least.

What do you think about it?

Oooh, swimming is rly cool for this. When going swimming with your friends it’s easy to alternate between playing or whatever and swimming with proper form for as long as possible. It may not be a replacement for a complete workout, but I like to use it as a substitute for triceps and lat workout for instance. Apart from that, I think it’s good for like lung capacity and it’s also healthy for ur joints. Other watersports concerning: I did some Kajaking last summer and I gotta tell you, ur arms are gonna be sore af from that. Only bummer is, ur legs are left out completely there.

Apart from that, I personally think running in itself is fun. But thinking of actually fun ways to run, then Football, Baseball or Parkour come to mind. Since I know a person that hates running, but loves cycling, ig cycling is a good substitute for running.

Presently, I prefer to just do weight lifting. Since I’m still a student, i also get to do other sports easily, as that is a mandatory subject. Once i’m finished with school tho I imagine I’ll stick with weight lifting. Tho I’m itching to try out MMA as well. Jiujitsu is another sport u may wanna try out. I did it for a few years and it’s a very social sport where ure bound to meet new ppl.

Hope this helped OwO

I was talking with two friends yesterday. Apparently they always supported Palestinians, but once they saw Hamas soldiers screaming Allah Ackbar and kidnapping civilian women, they are of the opinion that they’re not better than Israelis. “It’s just two Nazi Germanies fighting against eachother.” Was a banger I heard during that discussion. Another banger: “You don’t see Ukranians murder and kidnap civilians, do you? They are respectful of POW.”

I tried my best arguing; to no avail. Whatever I said, I was countered with smth like, “well i support them too, but this kind of force is totally unjustified”. So in short I failed the argument.

Thanks for this post. Always wanted to understand what was rly going on between the Anarchists and Bolsheviks. At first I was actually heavily sympathetic towards them as I didn’t grasp just how much of a significant difference there is, and I simply considered them ‘slightly confused allies’ or so. Never got around to read anything on the matter though, as there’s enough books I gotta read first. Looking forward to the next post.
