  • mais ou menos, relações bilaterais enriquecem o país e o governo sabendo surfar isso, pode melhorar nossa condição interna, isso não significa exatamente apoio internacional aos comunistas, ainda mais pq os partidos consideram a china como capitalista e imperialista. o pcr/up considera como isso, o recem formado pcbr apesar de não ter linha definida sobre isso, tudo aponta que vai em algo semelhante a up, e os maoistas e trotskistas nem precisa falar né…









  • i’m trying at least to be a contact with some new, to show that atheist are normal people, not satan worshipers that eat babies. but sometimes i fell overwhelmed and that i shouldn’t speak progressive topics, since their first contact with one communist has been disappointing since i don’t fit the ideal worker and leave a poor impression that communists are fragile, spoiled, smart pants and etc, plus due particularity of brazilian politics, people are very immersed on neoliberal ideology of each on your own and people have disdain for politics subject and see parties in general as parasites that show up only to ask for votes in election years and steal their money.


  • thank you very for the message.

    sadly there are no unions around, i do talk with my dad about it, he has some tips and tricks on surviving in the factory. may be a controvert take, but interacting with coworker has been taking a toll in my mental health, i’m not a manly man you know, everyone else try to be stronk men and lots of homophobics jokes around, that i don’t find funny.


  • i will try to put what highalectical said in simpler terms, and starting pointing out that this discussion is very very important to new people.

    so, how communism itself will look in the future will be determined by the material conditions of the future, since we are not there yet, we can’t say for sure, only speculate. but you can say you dream of a society that has x characteristic.

    the same goes for socialism itself, how its gonna look for each country, will be determined by said country, for good or bad. that is why soviet socialism is different from chinese, that is different from yugoslavia, that is different from korea and so on.

    but if we take all of those and try to dawn similarities, we can note a certain tendency, and that tendency is a uplift on quality of life, like the other comrade said in another comment, drastic reduction or extinction of illiteracy, full employment for long periods of time, agrarian reform, reduction or extinction of homelessness and so on.

    and why that discussion is important, there are some revisionists line that throw materialism out of the window and create an abstract form of socialism, and they use that abstraction to shit on former socialists and current ones, for example abolition of family and moneyless economy, no socialist country ever came close to both of these, so these lines spew that there was never a “true socialist country”, all were horrific oriental despotism dictatorship and etc.


  • first, thank you very much from your message, it helps a lot.

    i’m thinking of quitting too, still have some money left from my previous job, that i was saving to buy a house.

    i’m very used to insane deadlines, being pushed around by higher ups and whatnot, but i’m good at some stuff and always managed somehow, this time it is physical work and there is this annoying guy that isn’t even a higher up, a lowly employee like me, but like to bosses everyone around, people hate him, even from different parts of the factory, i’m also very bad at handling people, and get pushed around by this dude and he is major part of why i’m down.

    i was talking to my dad, he said there was someone just like that in his time, lowly employee that works his ass off and likes to boss people around and gave me tips on how to handle, although not sure i will be able to carry forth with what he said, which is basically tell him to fuck off, especially when he is the one tasked to showing me the rope.


  • that is a little part of why im collapsing, talking to coworkers. the whole place is pure toxic masculinity, even tho, im not a “manly man” and nowadays i simply can’t engage in homophonic jokes anymore, don’t find them funny. also decided to experiment a little and told when asked which church i went, that im atheist, well that also didn’t went very well.

    after these few days I’m realizing that the communist movement has rough days ahead, in overcoming the neopentecostal binds, while being everything that the common sense hates, women, atheists, lgbtq+, african religions and etc…


  • there was that one time in high schools that i used a small sock that didn’t cover the achilles tendom, it burned my skin from friction alone, after that i always make sure that my socks are high enough to cover all my feet.

    the problem in having with the boot is that it is a bigger size and it has a shitty insole so my feet wiggle inside and the sole is hard, so that makes my feet hurt like fuck, also i walk a lot during shift to grab materials and whatnot and there isn’t a place to sit nor time, i will put a distance calculator on my phone to see how much i walk daily.


  • thanks for the tips, i will get the correct size shoes and some decent insoles, one day and my feet already hurt. i will see about protein at home, since the factory forbids the entrance of any liquid due to problems with workers drinking alcohol on shift, the least we can do is bring empty water bottles and fill with water inside the factory.

    as for hearing im comfortable since i don’t work close to machines. when picking up things i squat, so it doesn’t hurt my back



  • i gotta work up the courage to do some exercise at least to not be so deadbeat and you know, prepare for revolution, im thinking in doing capoeira, since the least shitty body part is my legs and i have natural flexibility, which could be better if i practiced. my first thought was tae kown do but theres not gym that teaches it in my city. gotta get fit and learn some self defense, fascists are getting bold out here.


  • i feel you, i need to buy some clothes specific to be drenched, specially in brazil hot climate, as for shoes thank the left by law they have to provide us with personal protection equipment so they lend steel reinforced boots, still i need to also acquire a water bottle because cups don’t come by easily there, and the salary sucks, anyway we fucking need communism right now to make factories decent places to work.



  • i with queer on this one, u should keep then from smartphones and similar due to it is not a reward for good behavior, it is a sedative to keep your child under control, and that is bad parenting, specially with how internet works now with shorts videos, content farm sewage, my nephew watches this i’m horrified with what i’ve seen.

    ofc, today we can’t shut someone off completely off screens nor play the reactinary macho that started to hunt dear at the age of 3, u can let him watch cartoons, movies or play video games, on tv ofc and for a limited time per day, consume stuff that is mind engaging instead of dopamin bombs we have on internet. and depending turns it into a bonding activity, like watch a movie together, play video games, discuss the movie after and so on.

    but as queer said, focus primarily on physical stuff, going outside, specially with other children, estimule the habit of reading since a early age, it will be helpful in life.
