Alas. It seems the way of some.
Workers killing workers seems fine for some, even if it goes against their class interests.
Not sure if TS is an oligarch, hegemony is a funny thing (permission to be oppressed), yet he/she/ver certainly writes in support for a sadistic elite class.
Time out, pause, try not to do any harm to others nor to self.
Breath, in and out.
Do no harm. Do not promote harm
… And exhale!
In the deepest of love: what!, yes in love, do not wish harm.
Too many have died in this war… too many brothers and sisters and vers.Thank you Alan,
It is worth remembering: it is just as nice, just to be nice… even if disagreement ensues.
My, it must take more energy to be nasty… and it is all consuming!
Otherwise it seems we all devolved into the…. :Here is to a better year and civil debate not devolving into ‘mi arse” insults and attacking the person.
Challenge the idea: not the person.🙂
Hi TS,
Thank you for your earnest feedback on the point I made.
Regarding the term ‘Russification’, it pertains to Russian conquest and expansion. Generally used for the Czar era of imperialism in historical Russian studies. It can also be applied to later periods of Russian expansion, perhaps even the current temporal period.
I had thought you might offer to challenge or seek to clarify my post, alas… only putdowns.
I do thank you all the same. Interesting term ‘communist adjacent’- next to it and not of it?
Some of my post to you was hyperbole (claims over ‘all’ Russian speaking communities): the use of exaggeration to show how an idea can be used- demonstrating an absurdity in annexing parts of the Ukraine with using that thinking to seize other nations territory … perhaps I could have used a more matter-of-fact point of view.
Be safe“Matilde Kimer, who has reported for Danish television from the front lines of the conflict since the NATO/Kiev aggression began in 2014, revealed last week…”
There, fixed it for you.
Sometimes I wish there was a policy of ethical disclosure about who sponsors a posters post.
Declare your philosophy and its backers.TrueScotsman… I am not sure what to say:many of your posts are so pro- Russification it almost harks back to imperialism under the Czars.
What next: a claim over New York, London or other districts as there is a Russian population speaking in Russian! Linguistic orientated colonial expansion!
I know that might seem laud… but annexing a region with linguistic defenses for doing so seems Machiavellian, and that of old Nick, the last Czar.
Ah! Now that would be the doomsday sayers!
Wishing to bring down a whole world for their own selfish needs!
I had to smile Tom at your reply. Thanks.
Membership is a funny thing and stuffed full of inclusions and exclusions in any structure!
My failures in being a member of any club/group is what defines me: I hear the people on the margins deeper- and echo back.
Stay safe and thanks for the smile that suddenly beamed on my face.
Stay safe,Hi Tom,
Time lag is a funny thing across zones.
Thank you for your lovely words on people of faith who share socialist ideas and its appeal.
You know I once had chats with wez and Matt my Christian faith and my socialist views.
Matt was initially surprised that I was a person of faith…
Often, I believe, faith communities are subjected to far right ideations and ‘red scare’ and abase people who express socialist ideas.
I dream and consciously will for a money-less and socialist society.
I talk often on changing the mode of production, based on the science of antagonistic change agency. There must be a better way: a science of production that meets all and every want and need.
Some socialists might be skeptical of my faith and treat me with caution. Some people of faith do the same about my non-capitalist stance (socialism stance).
I have conflated my faith with socialism, so walk like many others in that position in the shadows of alienation. Twice displaced… but content in it.
I have posted here for some time, and have always been welcome to chat- at times it raises a brow (preconceptions if vitriol will spout allayed in chat! people of everyday desire to change the mode sharing ideas and options)
I know, some in the SP may welcome me, and some may not.
I accept that concern. As I know socialists had and have been treated poorly by fanatical religious-political actors (likely labouring under political interference greater than they think).
You know, I have got to know so many here and and glad to use the term comrade and brother/sister/ and preferred pronouns for personhood.
Be safe, and again, lovely words, thanks.
🙂Interesting point again!
The chain of causation has its ripples.
And those ripples expand ‘yond so many imagined corners.
Capital control will never solve its impacts on society, and it knows that.
Dialogue. Communication and a change in the base can come and alter our direction.
Choice, causality and effect.
I am signing off for the night.
Be safeInterpolation. Althusser explains it as appealing (hailing) to common sense of a person/people it hails to.
When did you first hear it?
Well it made sense to me as I had it in mi head at the time!
BBC you say?
Well, well, maybe before then… all the lads said it was so.
And before the lads?
Dunno, made sense to me all the same!I see that. Causal factor and its impact. It stems with choice… lets hope it is informed choice!
Otherwise I would ban the Brits from driving based on modelling outcomes!
Causal chains and differentiating the signification of an event seem to be contentious still!
If acts go undifferentiated: then we have no clue nor ability to learn from actions.Tom,
Act and react.
I could consider myself ‘encased in a nutshell’ and consider myself a king of infinite space!
Yet hark: my very acts have consequences!
My shell is bigger than I thought!
We are more than the sum of materialism and mechanical psychology: we are the sum of that and so much more!
Be safe.Gulp!
This Nazi narrative: where did you first hear it?
What are its origins to you?
Find the origin (in a Derridean sense) and there you see the origin and genealogy of what you said. And what you said came from.
MH was a precursor warning to all nations and all peoples: none of us are immune to such conflict and we all suffer.
Throw away that little red rev book- and take a look at true socialism (via democracy and education).
Myself: statist news and national interests always seem an origin of aggressor controlled narrowcasts. I avoid its hold but note its audience.
Seek broad views as best you can… avoid narrowcasts.
Be safe.
For a comrade who is no longer here. Thank you for your love no matter what!
Loved you man. A big shout out to your partner and dear friends.
I will forever know Mouffe and Laclou sounds like an expensive furniture shop!
Still have a post modern couch for us to share stories!
Miss you.Really!
Are you spreading a little of it too!
MH Flight, the Russians who shot a civil plane down initially said: spies…. spies… Nothing to see here… Mmm… Mmm!
Mmmm.What are you shooting down: Mmmm!
Truth eh!Between Russian Tensions and here: it seems my post is in moderation.
I will say this: ethnic, national and all kinds of tensions generate conflict.
Regarding Hope:
Catch that glimmer friend: it is shared by so many you would not believe!
I am as you may know an Irish man living on the south of the world, who is a person of faith, who expresses socialist ideations… and so much more subject positions.
Sides of a sword kill: their sharp ends.
The flat sides do not: long live the flat sides.
Not sure why I needed to say that.
As a kid I learned about Dier Yassin: the ovens. Another atrocity.
As an adult: I learned we can overcome national tensions… that seem superior to ‘governmental tensions’
Casting an apex aside (casting class interests aside) we will see one another for our humanity and common goals.
No matter what.
