Lenin's miniature crossing a hammer and a sickle in front of him, next to a quarter for scale. The base of the miniature is roughly the same size as the coin.

Today might be a good day to share this absolute gem of a website:
theyrule.net
The image is from the theyrule.net website where it depicts a network map of interconnected nodes and lines representing relationships among corporate boards, organizations, and individuals. Each node corresponds to either a corporation or an individual, while the lines illustrate their connections, such as shared memberships or associations. The layout visually demonstrates the interconnectivity and influence within big corporations.

Conservatives: "NPR is a den of far-left radicals!"

NPR: "Do we really need to be enemies with fascists? We invited Hitler to tell us more."

Mike Prysner @MikePrysner The Democrats are using their defeat as a justification to move further to the right. But if Harris won, they'd be using the fact they catered to Republicans as a justification to move further to the right. 12:20 PM 25 Nov 24 192K Views

If society seems to be growing more conservative, it’s because the ruling class has calculated and determined that suppressing progressive ideas and steering toward fascism is necessary to protect their power from the threat posed by socialist movements.
The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e., the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. - Karl Marx

This meme goes viral every once in a while and apparently it is not obvious to a lot of well-meaning but still liberal-minded people what it actually means and why it's capitalist propaganda. So hopefully this can help.
This is an image of the original meme showing a galaxy with an arrow pointing to a small dot which is supposed to be earth and the text says "You are here, crying in the shower before work". An overlay text was added at the bottom: "The meme normalizes suffering under capitalism by framing personal despair as insignificant within the vast cosmos. This perspective shifts focus from systemic issues causing such misery to existential resignation, discouraging critique of the socio-economic structures behind the stress."

Just look at the sheer contrast between what revolution truly means, as Parenti eloquently reminds us, and how some so-called marxists vulgarize and distort it.
From Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti, where he provides a quick summary of chapter 2 in the table of contents. 2. LET US NOW PRAISE REVOLUTION Revolutions are democratic developments that expand the freedoms of people who enjoyed no freedom under oppressive pre-revolutionary regimes. Revolutions are a mass empowerment against the forces of exploitative privilege. They bring a dramatic reduction in political and economic oppression. A screenshot of a quoted repost. The original post says; "Graffiti is revolution, Looting is revolution, Vandalism is revolution. Not endorsing these activities, just identifying them." The quote is by someone who has Marx as their profile picture. It says, "Long live the resistance." endorsing what was said in the original post.

"Women are the roots of the land and the pulse of the revolution."
This is a stylized poster from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) with bold graphic elements. The dominant colors are red, gray, and black. It features a black-and-white illustration of a woman holding a rifle, positioned in the foreground. Her gaze is direct and intense, symbolizing strength and resistance. Behind her, abstract shapes and radial lines create a sense of dynamism and energy. At the top right, text in both Arabic and English reads: "8 آذار" (8th of March) "يوم المرأة العالمي" (International Women’s Day) "MARCH 8 - INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY" In the top left, there is an emblem of PFLP. At the bottom, bold Arabic text in white and red reads: "المرأة غرس الأرض ونبض الثورة" Translation: "Women are the roots of the land and the pulse of the revolution." The date "2023" is included at the very bottom of the poster. The overall style is reminiscent of revolutionary propaganda art,.

These days...
The image is a screenshot of a phone screen showing the "Two Paths" meme. On the bright, sunny path is the "Bluesky" app icon with a white butterfly on a blue background, symbolizing a positive choice. On the dark path is the "X" app icon, representing the rebranded Twitter, symbolizing a chaotic or negative option. The placement contrasts the perceived experiences of the two platforms.

Yeah I have no issues with them being used as medical treatments. That's why I used the word recreational. Regarding the 70s, I recommend this book which also has a documentary with the same name.

Related to the topic of pirates being absolutely based, read this great graphic novel, Under the Banner of King Death, done by amazing scientists based on historical research.
The book cover of 'Under the Banner of King Death' The image features a single, rectangular panel from the graphic novel *Under the Banner of King Death*, illustrated in a stark black-and-white style with expressive shading and bold contrasts. The central figure is a man with shoulder-length, unkempt hair and a mustache, facing forward. His expression is resolute yet somber, with heavy shadows accentuating his sunken cheeks and tired eyes. A thick, coiled noose is wrapped around his neck, indicating his impending execution. The background behind him is abstract, framed with rough, uneven black brushstrokes, enhancing the dramatic intensity of the scene. Two dialogue bubbles capture the man’s final, defiant words. The bubble on the left reads: "I DO NOT ASK FOR FORGIVENESS." The bubble on the right states: "I DO NOT PRAISE GOD OR THE BIGWIGS." The composition highlights themes of defiance, despair, and rebellion against authority, with the stark black-and-white style amplifying the emotional weight of the scene. The image consists of three panels from the graphic novel *Under the Banner of King Death*, rendered in a high-contrast black-and-white style with bold, dynamic brushstrokes and expressive shading. 1. **Top left panel**: A close-up of a man sitting with a defiant expression on his face. His eyebrows are furrowed, and he gazes off to the side. The dialogue bubble coming from him says, "GO TO HELL, YOU BILGE-SUCKING SHIP RAT." 2. **Top right panel**: A medium shot of a tall, imposing figure dressed in an 18th-century naval officer's coat, facing away from the viewer. He holds a coiled whip in his right hand, poised for action, while standing in front of another man in striped clothing. The dialogue bubble from this figure reads, "A SHIP RAT, AM I?" 3. **Bottom panel**: A dynamic and violent scene. The officer swings his whip downward in a brutal strike. The whip makes contact with another man's head, shown in agonized detail as blood and fragments explode from the impact. The chaotic motion is emphasized by the sweeping curves of the whip and splatters that radiate outward. A small rat is drawn in the bottom right corner, standing upright and observing the chaos, adding a grimly ironic touch to the scene. The page's overall tone is dark, dramatic, and raw, emphasizing themes of violence, power, and rebellion. The whip's presence adds to the brutality and symbolism of control and punishment.
