That’s because you didn’t read theory, and without reading theory, you can never become a POWERFUL poster:

From The Path Which Led Me To Leninism by Ho Chi Minh:

Heated discussions were then taking place in the branches of the Socialist Party, about the question whether the Socialist Party should remain in the Second International, should a Second and a half International be founded or should the Socialist Party join Lenin’s Third International? I attended the meetings regularly, twice or thrice a week and attentively listened to the discussion. First, I could not understand thoroughly. Why were the discussions so heated? Either with the Second, Second and a half or Third International, the revolution could be waged. What was the use of arguing then? As for the First International, what had become of it?

What I wanted most to know - and this precisely was not debated in the meetings - was: which International sides with the peoples of colonial countries?

I raised this question - the most important in my opinion - in a meeting. Some comrades answered: It is the Third, not the Second International. And a comrade gave me Lenin’s “Thesis on the national and colonial questions” published by l’Humanite to read.

There were political terms difficult to understand in this thesis. But by dint of reading it again and again, finally I could grasp the main part of it. What emotion, enthusiasm, clear-sightedness and confidence it instilled into me! I was overjoyed to tears. Though sitting alone in my room, I shouted out aloud as if addressing large crowds: “Dear martyrs compatriots! This is what we need, this is the path to our liberation!”

After then, I had entire confidence in Lenin, in the Third International.

Formerly, during the meetings of the Party branch, I only listened to the discussion; I had a vague belief that all were logical, and could not differentiate as to who were right and who were wrong. But from then on, I also plunged into the debates and discussed with fervour. Though I was still lacking French words to express all my thoughts, I smashed the allegations attacking Lenin and the Third International with no less vigour. My only argument was: “If you do not condemn colonialism, if you do not side with the colonial people, what kind of revolution are you waging?”

Not only did I take part in the meetings of my own Party branch, but I also went to other Party branches to lay down “my position”. Now I must tell again that Comrades Marcel Cachin, Vaillant Couturier, Monmousseau and many others helped me to broaden my knowledge. Finally, at the Tours Congress, I voted with them for our joining the Third International.

At first, patriotism, not yet communism, led me to have confidence in Lenin, in the Third International. Step by step, along the struggle, by studying Marxism-Leninism parallel with participation in practical activities, I gradually came upon the fact that only socialism and communism can liberate the oppressed nations and the working people throughout the world from slavery.

There is a legend, in our country as well as in China, on the miraculous “Book of the Wise”. When facing great difficulties, one opens it and finds a way out. Leninism is not only a miraculous “book of the wise”, a compass for us Vietnamese revolutionaries and people: it is also the radiant sun illuminating our path to final victory, to socialism and communism.

I only know about you because of you engaging in silly discourse

There was a crypto currency called Hexbear, I think it failed on launch but it still comes up if you Google it

The Legend of Hexbear

Now we’re still called hexbear AND defederated to the point that the shitflinging is all internal.

I have no idea how people don’t realise this happens, or why they want to make a publicly available website into a closed off discord server x Reddit experience.

I still type it into my browser bar

Oh shit I can get your ass banned now!

You would only become more powerful

A short and incomplete list of stuff to be worried about

• The US could be on the path to war with Iran - US launches retaliatory strikes on Iranian-linked militia targets in Iraq and Syria. That news broke a few minutes ago.

• Yesterday I learned this - There’s been a monster outbreak of measles in Europe. In 2022 there were 941 cases. In 2023 (not including November and December) there were 30,000 cases.

• There’s the continuing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

• God only knows how much hotter and chaotic the world will get due to climate change.

There’s a lot of shit to be enraged and depressed about right now. And personally, in my life, nothing to smile about

I’m actually quite happy irl. I get super angry on here, but somehow, this is about the only site that gets me in a foul mood without me taking that mood back into real life situations. I wouldn’t be here otherwise, i’m really strict about which content i expose myself to since i’ve learned how much it can fuck with me.

easier said then done :deeper-sadness:

Living in an era where you can access limitless good information also means you can access limitless bad information

Probably not healthy tbh but maybe we’ll eventually get an answer
