Oppenheimer wasn’t worth watching, its more an artistic experiment like a Terence Malick film - no plot, no story, no sense of pacing or time, and overall not entertaining.

However there is an unrelated documentary about him made in the 80s that’s fantastic - The day after trinity.

Agree, the prestige is delightful.

Some great ones of fidel:

Bonus with dog

You do know that we can see your modlog history in lemmy right? You repeatedly demonize Iran, and call everyone to the left of you tankies.

First season was entertaining, and it def gets some style and uniqueness points. Second season kinda trailed off for me and I didn’t feel I needed to watch any more.

The post-ww2 division of labor was that the US would play world cop to keep the global south in line, and europe would remain anti-communist bulwarks.

Their status as imperial core nations is entirely dependent on the US military subjugating low wage nations.

Yes that would be, thanks.

Not a fan of this slogan. Deserve more from who, is the question.

Socdems like Sanders and AOC answer that US workers should get a bigger cut of the imperial pie, out of US capitalists share, and that US imperialism and super-exploitation of the global south should continue and be extended to fund more social services.

Ending that super-exploitation is only possible by nationalizing most of the US’s private industries currently carrying that out, and who hold power over its political system. I don’t see that at all in this program.

The CIA under Allen Dulles also tried to assassinate de Gaulle in 1961, but Kennedy figured it out and warned him. There were a few other assassination attempts on him that the CIA likely had a hand in.

Other notable mentions: Italy and Greece, where the US successfully thwarted left-wing governments from taking power, and funded fascist paramilitaries.

Europe has largely been under US dominance since the end of WW2, and that was the main reason the US got involved in the war in europe, to prevent it from turning red, as it was clear by 1942 that the soviets would defeat nazi germany. Autonomy is only allowed within certain limits (anti-communism, and a pro-US foreign policy), and if any country strayed too far, they were nudged back in the right direction.

His riddle: What am I laying on right now

RIP to one of the greatest Marxist thinkers of all time. This man was still writing slammers in his eighties. I’ve read like 5 of his books and learn something new from every one.

You can find a lot of recordings of his books on torrents and youtube.

Ur good then.

I feel like Lenin would have the urge to write a polemic against Kautsky after seeing this.

Delet this

Cialdini’s the psychology of persuasion is, although not communist, probably one of the best psychology books ever written. Highly recommend it. You can find audiobooks for it on torrents.

I’m currently in the middle of Gabriel Rockhill’s Who paid the pipers of western marxism, which is wonderful so far, but its quite a slog. It dissects much of the “intellectual world war” on communism, and the tactics used by western intelligence agencies to demonize communism, and platform hollow, individualist, or reformist philosophies, education, and cement pro-capitalist superstructures throughout the entire world.
