My heart goes out to people thinking about leaving the US today, to people who are immigrants, to black people, to trans people, to women, disabled people, indigenous people, to people who have to go to work today at black owned businesses, to people who are visibly trans, to people of color, to people from marginalized communities, systems and therians, people struggling with money, people struggling to find a job, people who don't have a support network, to people living outside of the US who are affected by its actions, to people from Palestine, Congo, Sudan, to people who have already lived and suffered through fascism before, to people who will see and feel it for the first time, to people who wish they hadn't woken up today, to people who knew this would happen, to people who did whatever they could to stop this, people who thought they could make a difference but feel like they didn't do enough, and to everyone who is scared today, my heart goes out to you all. I love you

I hope you have people around you right now who will not rub in your face what an obvious outcome this was, but that your fear and sorrow are valid. I hope they can comfort and be there for you, when it feels like the world is crumbling around you. Today you might leave your house terrified, and I hope things go as well as they possibly can. Your fear isn't unfounded. You've very likely lived through this before, and many others did, and you'll get through it. It won't be easy. I'm sorry. We've been here before. Democracy has failed you before. You still matter. The lives of people who are struggling right now matter. A lot of people right now are afraid, contemplating suicide, reliving their trauma, and things feel hopeless. Marginalized people have survived a lot of horrible things. We've been there for each other, and we have to be there for each other right now too. You deserve dignity, but institutionalized democracy won't be there to give it to you. Please, look after yourself. You matter. The life that they're trying to take away from you matters. I love you

You can only try and be there for others and yourself. You can only try and do good, and follow your convictions. You can only try and stay alive and enjoy the company of those around you, to enjoy life, and to enjoy anything comforting right now. You can only try and organize yourself and your community, support others, comfort your friends, hug someone you care about. Make art, complain, do something, do anything. But rest too. You might be exhausted, and there's only so much you can do. Fixing this, fixing the world is not your personal responsibility, but a community effort. Focus on the small, manageable things. Be there for those who are close to you. Try not to overextend yourself. Drink some water, exercise, pick up a new hobby, write a poem. Comfort others and accept their comfort. They want you to be well as much as you want them to. You'll get through this. You'll live. I love you

personally I do not understand the obsession with revealing whats underneath the mask a character wears all the time. as far as I’m concerned that mask IS their face. do NOT peel them. that’s the same as the beast from beauty and the beast turning into just some guy at the end

Principles of Communism

It's pretty clear, looking at the situation in many parts of the world, that Western liberal capitalist government as we have known it for the last several decades is collapsing, that its contradictions are coming to the fore and people no longer have faith or interest in it as a provider of safety, stability or survival.

This is inevitable, and as it collapses it can go one of two ways: either it reaches its natural endpoint in fascism, or it is swept away in revolution. As we are seeing, from the US to Europe to Aotearoa, only one of those forces is currently ready to take power. While there are many existing communist parties, in my experience most of them seem to focus their efforts - if indeed they do anything - on attracting existing communists who either aren't organised or organise with their rivals, which I think is a far less helpful task than simply making more communists.

To that end, I - with proof-reading and advice from the dependable @/mesetacadre - have tried to edit Engels' foundational Principles of Communism into a form easier for a new reader to engage with in the 21st century, as I still believe it is the ideal starting point, but it must be said that with a great deal of propaganda telling us that communism fell 30 years ago it doesn't help us seem especially relevant if we recommend a document that refers to 1847 as the present day.

I encourage all and any to read through it, especially anyone who defines themselves as a nonspecific "leftist" or who still trust the established political systems to liberate us. Read, share, distribute however you wish, if it brings just one person to accept communism it will have done its job.

If you are trans I need you to stay alive.

Stay alive for every other trans person fighting, stay alive for every trans person who is no longer here, and most importantly stay alive for yourself.

They don’t get to erase us! They don’t get to take away our rights, and treat us as less than human. Don’t let them erase us, and don’t let them make you a statistic. Don’t let them win.

Stay alive

If you won’t do it for yourself, then do it for others. Do it out of spite.
