It's not yet summer in Brazil, but a dangerous heat wave is sweeping the country

    This is unbearable. You can't even think straight due to the amount of heat, my city alone is going to have a maximum temperature of 41° C tomorrow and I live in a temperate region of Brazil.

    I'm currently in a 80s punk (new wave) phase, with songs from Billy Idol, Depeche Mode, a flock of seagulls, etc...

  • Will China's foreign policy become internationalist after the socialist transition?
  • Fenix Fenix 1y ago 100%

    Eventually, they will have to, it will be a necessity, socialism and capitalism are the anti-thesis of each other, there cannot be peaceful cooperation between opposites. Of course, there may be mutual agreements, but they're usually short-term. History has shown time and time again that the capitalists will do everything, every time, everywhere to hurt socialists and socialist countries.

    When the USSR was at civil war, what the biggest capitalist powers did? They tried to suppress it invading them. China is in the sweet spot where they can enjoy relative safety from western powers due to the economic dependence the west has on China, but that won't remain forever.

    You cannot trust the ruling classes of third world countries too, as they have shown to be extremely reactionary everywhere. In the case of my country, Brazil, the ruling class is mostly owners of farmland, one of the worst kind. They cannot be trusted. China will eventually have to gain trustful allies, in this case, socialist countries, they have to help the proletariat of the world eventually.

    It's been okay-ish, I'm currently studying for an entry exam for an university in december and holy shit, the pressure is real. I'm trying to get into med school but the requirements are so high that makes it look impossible. Doing previous years tests and seeing that you score really low kinda disappoints tbh.

    But I still have supportive parents, a roof over my head and meals, so it's okay

  • What's the weather like in your part of the world?
  • Fenix Fenix 1y ago 100%

    About 16 - 20C, which is weird, considering most of the time the temperatures are 30C at day and like 25C at night. That being said, 16C is really cold for me.

    That being said, I absolutely despise cold. Having to wake up at 5 am when it's cold is just terrible lol

  • Hello everyone! I'm here to start an interesting theoretical debate, as the title states, how can we avoid the degeneration (not in the moral sense) of the worker's state and avoid capitalist restoration. As we know, after Stalin's death, the Soviet Union went downhill. Starting with Khrushchev's opportunistic policies, such as the reform of the economic system, the bureaucratization through the *nomenklatura* and eventually the downfall of the union. While I already knew about this, I didn't know that Stalin tried to *prevent* this, here I quote the [work](https://savezrada.files.wordpress.com/2020/11/staljin-i-borba-za-demokratsku-reformu.pdf) of Grover Furr, which I **highly** recommend reading: >To summarize, the evidence suggests that Stalin intended the new electoral system to accomplish the following goals: Make sure that only technically trained people led, in production and in Soviet society at large; Stop the degeneration of the Bolshevik Party, and return Party members, especially leaders, to their primary function: giving political and moral leadership, by example and persuasion, to the rest of society; Strengthen the Party's mass work; Win the support of the country's citizens behind the government; Create the basis for a classless, communist society. Stalin wanted to achieve this through universal, direct, multipartyism, secret elections and removing the party's control over the economy of the union. Which would make the party useless for anything other than agitation and propaganda purposes. I found this very interesting, the article from Grover Furr I mentioned earlier goes way more in depth, which again, I highly recommend reading.

    Como sabemos, as cores verde e amarela não representam nossas matas e ouro como dizem, mas sim a casa de Orléans e Bragança. Por isso fiz este post perguntando que símbolos acreditam que seriam os melhores para representar nosso país em uma bandeira, socialista é claro! Acredito que como outros camaradas disseram em outros tópicos, essas cores devem ser removidas da bandeira, pois representam a monarquia que já se fora há muito tempo. Dá para comparar elas com as listras da bandeira dos EUA que representam as 13 colônias.
