ok, this was not an easy find. pretty much most of the maps out there on internet show soviet union map like the way that soviets officially stated until breakup.

i don't subscribe to that because like i said before, i believe soviet union was a russian empire. although russians did not go all the way to occupy much of china or southeast asian countries like vietnam or burma, russians pretty much bankrolled those countries' military for half a century and they were taking the marching orders from kremlin.

china liked to present themselves as if ccp was unrelated, but in reality, ccp was entirely supported by soviets immediately after ww2 to take over china (soviets in fact bankrolled & gave military training to the chinese nationalists, kmt, also, yeah, soviets hedged their bets).

although iran never was communistic, it's really debatable for also being armed by soviet union.

i did not include other countries outside of the land mass like cuba only because i didn't want the map to look too spread out.

and so this map to me is more accurate up to '70s until ccp decided to befriend united states with nixon, which in my opinion is the single biggest geopolitical blunder of american politics, 2nd would be trump (both gop, bicostal).

my next search is a better situation map of ukraine. i don't like any of the maps i see on the web right now. i hope i find one eventually.

i'll be looking for one that's showing railroads, more russian cities around the border, present frontlines, and some topographic info including rivers.

editorial addition: russians bankrolled other country's communist regime on the backs of the countries that soviet union occupied during ww2. think about it, those countries had no vested interest to arm north korea, ccp china, vietnam, afghanistan, and none of them did any good until they started to open up their countries.

none of those fringe communist countries ever thanked poland, hungary, ukraine, georgia, or czechoslovakia-and the reason is -> they knew it was always about getting russians to help them by squeezing the other soviet states.

That's interesting about the Soviets.

As cameras becomes more normalized (Sarah Bernhardt encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use cameras because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by manufacturing companies. I paint not because I want a painting but because I love the process of painting. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

if i have to explain to you that using a camera to take a picture is not the same as using generative ai to generate an image then you are a fucking moron.

Why does the USA hate communism and socialism so much?

I don't have a shred of respect for this absolute pile of failure. Biden has never EVER EVER taken responsibility FOR LITERALLY ANYTHING HE HAS EVER DONE IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE THAT HAS RESULTED IN FINANCIAL DEVASTATION, SKYROCKETING CRIME, AN INCIPIENT COMMUNIST REVOLUTION, A TOTALITARIAN GOVERNMENT THAT HAS TRIED TO DESTROY ITS OPPONENTS THROUGH MASS PSYCHOSIS AND BRAINWASHING AND ABSOLUTE SOCIAL MADNESS. If you don't see this ruthless, bitter, sabotaging, incompetent supremely entitled dullard for the asinine fraud and sociopathic compulsive liar he is, you are FUCKING BLIND!! SERIOUSLY, WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!

If a perianal abscess had a face, it would be this motherfucker.

He's also a decrepit, mentally deficient, obviously mentally impaired, dementia addled pustule spawned from Satan's asshole protected by the same elites who want to enslave you that he vows to punish as your false savior figure through nonsensical policies whose only goal is the total control over your body, your speech, your actions and your thoughts.

Fuck. You. You dumb, worthless sack of bat shit with your laughing prostitute of a vice president who is literally just a whore in a pantsuit. Fuck your worthless degenerate drug addled son with his Russian human trafficking ring and endless obscenities against God. Fuck your whole family and their criminal influence peddling, embezzlement, pyramid schemes, money laundering and THE ENDLESS NONSTOP HYPOCRISY. FUCK YOUR COWARDICE AS YOU BOW TO THE MOST INSIDIOUS COLLECTION OF AUTHORITARIANS WHO HAVE CONSPIRED TO DESTROY WESTERN CIVILIZATION AND FUCK YOUR ENDLESS FAKE OUTRAGE AGAINST THE ONE PERSON WHO HAS MANAGED TO STOP YOU FROM YOUR PLANS OF A NEW WORLD ORDER.

And fuck you if you keep supporting these people. They hate you. They hate America. Every fucking thing they have ever said is a constructed lie, a designed control mechanism. They hate freedom and democracy. They hate God. They hate Jesus. They hate everything pure and good. They hate everything but power and money. They want to replace worship of God with state worship. They have zero morals. They deluge you with propaganda and if you support them your head is just stuck so far up your asshole you refuse to see it because your ego won't allow it.

I want to shit on his grave.

It is bizarre that this serial liar and adulterer, with three divorces under his belt, is implying that a divine "message" is being sent to nonexistent "communist states" in the U.S.

If there was ever a "message" that perhaps Giuliani and his supporters should have heeded, it would have been the hair-dye-dripping-down-Giuliani's-face incident.

Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani said "the communist states are getting earthquakes" and suggested this means "somebody's sending us a message" after a rare and unexpected 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit New York City on Friday (April 5).

Giuliani, who is a close friend and ally of Donald Trump, made this claim during his Friday show of America's Mayor Live, which was broadcast on YouTube and Twitter/X.

YOU’RE WRITING A NOVEL????? Can I hear about it.

it's pseudo-historical fiction set in a made up version of 1880s-1920s eurasia examining the development of imperialism in this era + industrialization + the rise of communism. this is done primarily through the lens of a boy who was born a literal bear and violently forced into the role of a human prince of one of the imperial powers as part of the colonization of his homeland, is woefully mistreated by everyone and used as a pawn and so he becomes a class traitor (positive) and joins the revolution in his homeland and then marries this world's version of lenin who is a mongolian trans woman who can form soul bonds with animals & merge consciousness with them 🫶🏼 its both an examination of these various historical-material forces and a love story at its heart.

they are lifelong friends and her story weaves in and out of his until finally coming together as they transition from being revolutionaries to building a socialist state, and i'm exploring how as they fall in love and their senses of self tangle and merge the limited third person pov expands to include her awareness. in this version of the world my "lenin" (she is not literally lenin, i'm taking inspiration from several historical figures for her, but her role in the history of this world is effectively that of lenin) lives far longer than 1924

the main regions/locations of focus are the eurasian steppe, the ottoman empire, and the british empire, with the russian empire and late qing china/warlord era roc as peripheries - albeit fantasy equivalents of all of the above as i'm taking liberties with some things lol. but i have been doing a lot of historical research on all of the above and having a great time with it. in this version of the world the first socialist state is not in russia but elsewhere in the steppe, and so i'm examining the material conditions that could have caused that to happen and forming the world around that + playing with the political economies of these made up countries

some things i'm exploring through the main characters' personal narratives issues like gender and sexuality including intersexism, class struggle and the role of the state in revolution and what is required not only to start a communist revolution but to maintain it against counter-revolutionary forces, the collapse of monarchism and how the world reached the crisis of imperialism that was ww1, anti-communist nationalism in the early 20th century, childhood abuse and the manufactured powerlessness of childhood as an allegory for being an imperialized subject, imperial and class collaboration vs resistance, and a bunch of other things. it spans 40 years of their lives so there's a lot to cover and many 'periods' of their lives

the world is heavily set in reality with only minor fantastical elements that fly under the radar, like the main character having been born a bear is not really the point of the story but exists to aid the themes. in this world the fact that sometimes animals can turn into humans and humans can share consciousness with other forms of life exists very much in the background. a lot of the story is focused on character development and the personal relationships between characters, set while all of the above is happening. balancing all of this and writing it in a way that the entire thing doesn't feel like a fever dream or a textbook is my ongoing struggle that i am sincerely enjoying

As an immigrant who was born and raised in a communist country: Please, you are a socialist, not a communist. The hammer and sickle symbol is as triggering as the rising sun flag, you can't even imagine how many of my people died under it. Things have meanings. Communist regimes have never been democratic. Learn your history, please.

Do not let these woke DEI Marxist Communists at the noted leftist Democrat propaganda arm The Wall Street Journal tell you that the economy is in trouble or experiencing a historic downturn because of tariffs. This is economic TERRORISM! They are trying to destroy Trump's beautiful economy and his tax and tariff plan, created by very smart, very dedicated people who love America. America has never been stronger thanks to Donald J. Trump! Some say that the economic press is conservative, but these are RINO's and are not REAL Americans!

Speaking of America being stronger, if we are going to Make America Great Again, we need every red-blooded American to Make America Strong Again!

Gutpunch reminder that both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party in the United States are right-wing parties

The Republican Party realized that they no longer need to use euphemisms and can explicitly be fascist because bigots are now the base

The Democratic Party realized that they no longer need to advocate against genocide and just need to use public relations to mask fascism because neoliberals are now the base

The government of the United States of America is a fascist government and needs to be replaced
