Is your birthday today? Mine too! Happy birthday comrade! :)

I completely agree with you. In my case, I have agoraphobia due to issues with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and I can’t leave home much. When I do go out, many normal activities are impossible for me, like going for a beer - something I used to really enjoy. Because of this, some friends got tired of me. They see me as a whiner and coward, but they don’t understand how much I suffer with this.

The new people I’ve met recently have suggested some really cool plans, but I’ve had to explain my condition to them. They seem understanding, but I’m afraid they’ll eventually grow tired of the situation. Everyday things most people take for granted - like having a job or a partner - feel completely out of reach for me right now.

I’m trying to improve my health, but I’m not seeing any progress. I’ve thought about seeing a private doctor - I might have undiagnosed Crohn’s disease. Normally, IBS is manageable with proper diet control, but that’s not the case for me. I don’t think this level of symptoms is normal.

I’ve shared it on Mastodon. When it comes to spreading the message of left communism, I’ll strive to contribute. However, I have doubts about the relationship between left communism and autonomism. To my knowledge, left communism is quite distinct from autonomism.

On the article: I agree with the article’s author that organic centralism can be applied by proletarian organizations without requiring a party structure; it’s more of an imperative need for such organizations. This requires understanding organic centralism as a line of action designed to prevent counterrevolutionary and opportunistic deviations. But here I do see a point of tension between Bordigism and council communism: for council communists, democratic functioning is important, while for Bordigists it’s merely a tool that may or may not be used, but shouldn’t be sanctified.

I’ve been thinking about this question, and I believe the Platformist libertarian strategy can address the same issues that organic centralism attempts to solve. The concept behind Platformist organizations is that they can coordinate and give direction to social struggles based on militant experience. Their goal is to create a specific anarchist organization based on prior agreement on core principles and methods.

Edit: It seems you need a separate file with the song lyrics. It’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but I hope it’s still helpful to someone.

Edit 2: DeadBeef with deadbeef-lyricbar does something similar

I love Emma Goldman. I’ve noticed that she was influenced by Max Stirner and Kropotkin, two authors I love as well. I think she is a great representative of anarchism.

I’m on the “kolektiva.social” instance; however, I want to migrate to the “toots.matapacos.dog” instance because I think that they are more tolerant of Marxist ideas there. If you read the rules of “kolektiva.social”, they say that Marxist “propaganda” is not allowed.

I’ve been waiting for over 24 hours and still haven’t been approved on ‘toots.matapacos.dog’. Is it normal for them to take this long, or won’t they approve me? I’d like to know more options… In Spanish, I know about ‘rda.komintern.work’ but it’s very small and I don’t know how hard it is to get approved there.

I read somewhere that he uses Fedora. I don’t know how accurate that info is, though.

I’m going to try Mullvad Leta as my main search engine for a few weeks to see how it works. Thanks for the suggestion — I had no idea it even existed. BTW, even though I use NordVPN, I love Mullvad VPN for the privacy it offers its users. In a couple of months, when my Nord subscription ends, I’ll switch to Mullvad.

After using the search engine for two weeks, I can say that I didn’t like it at all

I use xmonad (https://xmonad.org/) and Qtile (https://qtile.org/). I love them. Another interesting option would be notionwm (https://notionwm.net/)

Spotify has fraudulent practices, so morality forces me not to give him income. All my music comes from Soulseek.

Here’s a link for you to get an idea of what I’m talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversy_over_fake_artists_on_Spotify

What other option is there, other than Spotify? I doubt much that buying all the albums I hear is an option, as I hear a lot of music.

The problem with “the socialist / communist countries” is that capitalist social relations, especially production relations, were not abolished in those territories. In China, the Soviet Union or Cuba, wage labour and commodities continue to exist, despite doing so in different forms than in the West. I would not therefore say that these countries are an example of communism. The only thing that changes is the way capitalism is managed.

Having said that, I think that once the communist ideal is reached, through the insurrection, consumerism will diminish. Obviously, this fall in consumerism, from a capitalist perspective, could be seen as poverty, because they do not take into account the sustainability of the planet and its resources. As for health: Medicine and health have become one more commodity in this capitalist system. I think we need to recover community self-care to avoid medical iatrogenesis and we need to eliminate the root cause of the social, economic, hygienic, etc., aspects that make our bodies and minds sick. This is what Ivan Illich talks about in “Medical Nemesis,” a book I recommend.
