ParticipantBut some of the Russian tanks are flying the Soviet flag, and some nationalists wear jackets with CCCP on the back.
Lenin and Stalin are nationalist heroes for Russian nationalists, and the Putin regime conflates them into one with its “Atomic Orthodoxy” and the Tsars. Stalin is now St. Josef Stalin and his image is in the churches, showing him carrying a small cross. St. Seraphim of Sarov has been made patron saint of nuclear weapons, and the red star is used side by side with the Russian Cross. Lenin’s empty shell still lies obscenely on view, I believe, and I think the restoration of statues perfectly plausible in this psychotic pastiche that is modern Russian nationalism – a hotchpotch of historical eras all jumbled up.

ParticipantBy exploiting our natural empathy, but only presenting us with images and reports from one side.

ParticipantSeems one was wrong here also about Finland and Sweden. They will almost certainly be joining NATO.

ParticipantA friend writes:
US Wildlife Services, an agency of the US Department of Agriculture has killed over a million “pest” animals in one year. The “problems” and “pests” are bears, wolves, cougars, bobcats, raccoons, prairie dogs, etc. Some are shot, and some are killed by 1080/sodium cyanide bombs. The latter are indiscriminate killers that take the lives of many unintended victims. It is appalling, but it continues.

ParticipantI post things about us on celebrities’ youtube pages, FB pages, etc., but never any response. I suggested us on Ricky Gervais’ youtube, but my comment was removed in under two minutes, while all the other comments remained. Maybe one isn’t allowed to provide links there though, and that could be why.

ParticipantContinued use of Compound 1080 within the United States is tantamount to biological terrorism.
The substance is so dangerous, the FBI considers it “most likely to be used by terrorists or for malicious intent,” yet it is still employed as a pest deterrent. When predators do attack livestock outfitted with special protection collars imbued with Compound 1080, the result is often the gruesome death of both animals, as well as those that may happen upon the carcasses later.
Protected species, like wolves, bears, and even eagles have all been inadvertently killed by Compound 1080 and similar chemical-based pest deterrent methods, and in colder weather, the poison has the potential to leach into water systems, wreaking massive damage on the environment.
Compound 1080 contributes to the deaths of 37 animals a day, both those labeled “pests” and non-target animals.

ParticipantThe Bolsheviks revealed their true precursors very early on:

ParticipantAnd the end of the Mensheviks, in Georgia … Was it a bloody annihilation by the Bolshevik Red Army (Trotsky)?

ParticipantAnd his campaign for reforms, at that time in Russia, was of course valid, unlike today.

ParticipantExcept for Martov? Do we accept him as a socialist?
Did they ever contact the SPGB?

ParticipantLooking very likely now that Finland will join NATO.

ParticipantI think that depends on the individual socialist. Truly selfish, one should know that one’s own well-being is intertwined with and best served by the well-being of others.
Then, people also differ in their altruism. As for me, I feel more for other animals than for other humans. WHAT??? I hear most here exclaim. But it is true that there are many, many people who are like me in this, if not as many as are not. Which is just to say we are all different in our altruisms – but agree about the need for socialism.

ParticipantSuper!

Participant“The workers will give their verdict in the November mid-term elections.”
Unfortunately, their verdict will more likely be based on their seeing Biden as “weak” in not putting troops into Ukraine, and voting for more hawkishness and confrontation with Russia.
