Dr. Michael John Parenti's passing is only a physical one. His words ring through the ages. People from all walks of life and levels of education can access them. He worked with this purpose, making incredibly complex subjects digestible and, at the same time, entertaining.

I’m currently reading “Against Empire”, which is a must-read, along with “Black Shirts and Reds.”

If you like the occasional nature photo...me!

In all seriousness, I enjoy @unsettlingempire.bsky.social and @existentialcomics.com

Agreed the UI is a bit clunky and it's taking some getting used to but it's been a nice reprieve from Facebook.

Full queer #liberation is only possible through #socialism. Building a strong social system to protect lgbt rights is required in order to create a better world for all.

Put #communism back into #queer spaces. Only we can break our own chains together.
Circular image icon. The circle is pink with white symbols on it. The symbols include a wreath of laurels surrounded by stars of varying sizes. In the middle is a transhammer gendersickle with two ak47s on either side and a large star above with the Juche party emblem on it depicting a hammer, sickle, and calligraphy brush. This version has horizontal CRT & laborwave inspired lines across the image.

A laborwave inspired edit and translation of a soviet poster depicting the earth squeezed by a belt that says "US ARMY" on it, it appears to be crushing the planet as a ring of bones surrounds it. Below it says "The 'Sphere of Interests' of the United States." The poster has been color shifted to be primarily pink and white with a pink and blue border and vertical scan lines across the image.

"Death to America"

Edit of an #anti-imperialist poster from the #DPRK advocating for #self-defense

#Socialism #NationalLiberation #Decolonize #Communism
Black and white stencil style edit of a poster from the DPRK which depicts a US soldier with a helmet and a rifle getting scared by a giant gun barrel aimed at them. The soldier is falling backwards and their helmet is falling off. The image has a red glowing outline and the words "DEATH" on top and "TO AMERICA" below. The image is also on a transparent background (which appears black on bluesky)
