guard is great you get to be like those historically incorrect descriptions of the Soviet Union, sending unarmed masses to soak up the bullets with their cheap bodies while your commissars shoot everyone who even thinks of running away. Great fun.
while I think joining an org is worthwhile and you should try, everyone should also know that not every org is worth your time and energy. Many are just lib shit door knocking for the Democrats, but even some "hard communist" ones will just make you sell stupid newspapers on the corner to teenagers. These orgs make you feel used, exploited for free labor even. Also especially with the communist orgs you run a good chance of befriending a undercover police officer who will fuck with you and the org, often undercovers get into the leadership position because it's literally their job to be there unlike everyone else. So make sure you feel like you are actually participating in something you feel is meaningful. Maybe look for mutual aid like food not bombs
just take Leningrad immediately but also "zurge rush" (lmao) Stalingrad at the same time. Like yeah okay I'm sure the Nazis (famous for Blitzkrieg not close combat) can handle two of the most intense urban warfare battles at once hundreds of kilometers apart without getting their ass owned.
taking Stalingrad wouldn't even cut off the oil either the Soviets had made preparations to ship Caucasian oil across the Caspian Sea to Astrakhan to keep the military fueled. It would have been awfully inefficient logistically but they would have been able to do it.
I hate driving, I hate maintaining a car, I hate having to own a car, and I hate what cars have done to our cities.
unfortunately forcing every American to buy a car allows the capitalists to squeeze like a cool $20k out of everyone which is "good for the economy" I guess because cars are one of the few things we still make here. Everything in this country is a fucking racket it sucks.
that is the risk you take when you run the country as a tyrannical hereditary monarchy. Your whole family becomes a problem.
this thread: chapos who can't handle that art is sometimes made on a stage so they try to denounce an entire activity as liberal like a AM radio host ranting about video games
It was an incredible invasion that took a ton of planning and effort on everyone involved. Still one of the greatest military achievements of all time. It hastened the fall of the Nazis by at least a year and took some pressure of the Soviet front. Though strategically by 1944 the Soviets were well on their way to winning and the Western allies got way more than would be "fair" in proportion to Soviet causalities and everything. The desire not to see Stalinist Mainland Europe (hell based) did certainly encourage the allies to get moving by 1944. But honestly I don't think they were deliberately delaying or anything, it took a few years for the western allies to get their shit together to pull off a big invasion like that.
Yeah basically. There was already prior political pressure from the Zionist movement before WW2, and when the UK decided to get the fuck out of Mandatory Palestine they signed off on Zionists' plans there. The UN was then quite generous to Israel in the partition plan, and hoped that they could live in harmony with the Arab in an economic union with equal rights and everything. But then Israel, with it's population and army swelling from post-war immigration, realized that there would basically be no consequences if they just took more Palestinian land by force (insert "it's free real estate" meme). And well, Israel has been trying to ethnically cleanse the territory ever since.
To put it simply: Jewish people found out the hard way what happens to people who don't have a nation-state to represent and protect them. International politics is fucking brutal, and without an army you are mostly helpless to prevent larger states from trampling all over you. Indigenous people all over the world have been genocided just because they were living on a piece of land too valuable to somebody else, so after the Shoah the world thought that giving the Jewish people a state would protect them. Now Israel's actual formation is much more complicated since only a select minority of Jews were part of that specific project but that's the basics.
The issue now is that Israel became one of those strong nation-states that trample all over weaker defenceless people. Now Palestinians are the (functionally) stateless ones that are stripped of their basic human rights for being born in the wrong place. The core problem of ultimate state sovereignty leading to ethnic cleansing still remains, just the targets have shifted over time as peoples move up and down the geopolitical ladder.
TLDR: "what if we just gave the Jews their own ethnostate? then if they keep getting killed no one can blame us anymore because they would be in charge of their own security" - UN post-war trying to solve fascism while nearly blacking out from liberalism
honestly not a bad tactic. I hate how so many Americans carry this guilt around towards unpaid bills and shit even if they are being ripped off or scammed. The most cowed people on earth with that stuff, they'll work themselves to death paying a debt when the rational thing to do is to tell any creditors to fuck off. Feel like society would improve significantly if Americans used their guns to shoot more creditors.
