As will continue to happen time and time again, these slaughters employed the assistance of Nazis and Nazi adjacents. Most of the people killed were merely Union members fighting for worker protections.
The USA backed technique of utilizing right wingers to coup and slaughter leftists came to be known as The Jakarta Method and is still employed to this day. The recent coup of Bolivia in 2019 was led by a millionaire neo-nazi by the name of Luis Fernando Camacho. Senator Áñez was put into power and immediately gave the military carte blanche to go door to door attacking Bolivian natives and leftists.
When "Tankies" say anti-communism means Fascism, this what they are talking about. The history of Anti-Communism is the slaughter of millions (often indigenous people fighting colonialism) who were simply organizing to not be treated like slaves.

It's on my list, haven't read it yet, but Leveler has become quite relevant lately. his chapter on the Black Plague especially.
Employers lost no time pressuring the authorities to curb the rising cost of labor. Less than a year after the arrival of the Black Death in England, in June 1349, the crown passed the Ordinance of Laborers:
Since a great part of the population, and especially workers and employees (“servants”), has now died in this pestilence many people, observing the needs of masters and the shortage of employees, are refusing to work unless they are paid an excessive salary. . . . We have ordained that every man or woman in our realm of England, whether free or unfree, who is physically fit and below the age of sixty, not living by trade and exercising a particular craft, and not having private means of land of their own upon which they need to work, and not working for someone else, shall, if offered employment consonant with their status, be obliged to accept the employment offered, and they should be paid only the fees, liveries, payments or salaries which were usually paid in the part of the country where they are working in the twentieth year of our reign [1346] or in some other appropriate year five or six years ago. . . . No one should pay or promise wages, liveries, payments or salaries greater than those defined above under pain of paying twice whatever he paid or promised to anyone who feels himself harmed by it. . . . Artisans and labourers ought not to receive for their labour and craft more money than they could have expected to receive in the said twentieth year or other appropriate year, in the place where they happen to be working; and if anyone takes more, let him be committed to gaol.
The actual effect of these ordinances appears to have been modest. Just two years later, another decree, the Statute of Labourers of 1351, complained that said employees, having no regard to the said ordinance but rather to their own ease and exceptional greed, withdraw themselves to work for great men and others, unless they are paid livery and wages double or treble what they were accustomed to receive in the said twentieth year and earlier, to the great damage of the great men and the impoverishing of all the Commons and sought to remedy this failure with ever more detailed restrictions and penalties. Within a generation, however, these measures had failed.
I keep meaning to ask, is this bit Scheidel Posting?
If you've got less than a minute and a half, learn how the US draws a profit from their Military Dominance.

The rest of the interview is quite good, as well.
Lol, you sent me down a rabbithole searching for a song from my youth that for years I thought was by The Hippos... but was actually The Mad Caddies.🤦♂️😅
Yeah, I only really know about them from seeing them on aliexpress a while back.
That's single wifi, dual cell networks. Only the best for fakebooks, I guess.
It’s not a single user. The instance is a safe haven for tankies. This thread is 90% them supporting the CCP. Quite a bit of it is pretty trolly, too. I’m sure you’ll find a large number of their users support Russia over Ukraine.
Who the hell wasn't supporting the CPC?

The name can be swapped with plenty of others and the point remains the same though. Thomas Edison, Obama, any Bush, etc etc
I feel really bad for those twitter libs who had their ptsd triggered when Bernie would raise his voice. They must be freaking out right now.
Ah, fuckin internet. It's a great show tho.
Yes, weird. COD, as in Call of Duty?
Anybody else watching Reservation Dogs? New season has been great.
VERY. GOOD. FRIENDS.Many of the UK’s major railway companies produced wonderful colour posters to promote train travel. You can see some excellent examples in our shop. After the formation of the ‘Big Four’ grouped railways in the UK in 1924 – “Big Four” was a name used to describe the four largest railway companies in...
So this has been happening since the first lemmy upgrade.
Basically the way I browse Is I go to hexbear, I've got All Comms selected and then hit the dropdown and sort by New. Works fine. Brings up Page 1 of New.
I then click on a post, read it, hit the back button. works fine.
I then click next page and we go to page two. works fine.
I then click on a post, read it, hit the back button. does not work fine. Instead I'm back on page 1 of new, while my url shows page 2 of new. If I refresh it, it brings page 2 back up.
Now, I just did my first step, but accidentally did Old instead of New. I fixed it, but when I went to read a post and backed out, I ended up on old again instead of new. Refreshing brought it back to new.
Do with this information what you will, but since this happens to me on desktop and mobile, I'm guessing I'm not alone.
Also, if we could get the abilities to automatically open external links in new tabs/windows that would be great.
Also, also, !william-van-spronsen still has his first name misspelled. It's Willem.
This is the documentary on North Korean film making Blowback Season 3 Bonus Ep 1 covers. Does anyone know of a tracker that's got it? I've checked the Pirate bay, they've got an ebook. Torrentleech has it but no seeds or peers. Nothing anywhere else I've checked. Doesn't seem to be on archive.org either.
Much obliged.
Here's the full movie with english subtitles on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1XL-p5p01g
I watched it last night, it's a pretty good leftist stoner type flick. Dated catch phrases and cheesy humor but no beating around the bush about how the bad guy "Patriots" are nazis.
Apparently there are books and some sort of animation this is based on, I haven't dove too deeply into it yet.
