This is cross-cultural enrichment.

 

[Meppo]

I was aware that Johnson was a slang term but not that Hogg was

 

[Comrade Izaac]

This is cross-cultural enrichment.

promoting cultural exchange and enrichment by talking about slang for dick and balls. we're living in the future my friends

 

[Kimkatya]

crankin da hogg

 

[Steve Brinson]

I've only heard "hog" pretty recently, it may be new or a subcultural thing that just reached the mainstream.

 

[Comrade Izaac]

i think it may be a Coastal Thing, i've heard people from both Cali and Boston say "hog" but Midwesterners rarely say it, at least around here

the duality of man

Yevgeny Stupin: stated back in February that it is the duty of every communist to oppose Putin's war on Ukraine, signed an appeal calling on the CPRF to oppose Putin's war on Ukraine, started a petition to end political repressions against Yury Shevchuk and other musicians for opposing Putin's war on Ukraine

Sergei Savostyanov: goes to city parliament sessions in camo and says that kids who don't play with red scoops grow up to be Yeltsinites and State Department collaborationists

both are CPRF deputies who were elected to the Moscow City Duma in 2019

 

[Time Enough]

the duality of man

The CPRF is very strange, like it contains the vast gamut from EuroCommunist SocDem wonks to full on Stalinist Soviet Nationalists and it just seems to some weird Big Tent Communist Party with soviet imagery.

Biggest opposition party go brrrrr.

It doesn't help matters that the signatures requirement essentially pressures most candidates to try and register with a particular party. Hell, CPRF's list in the Komi Republic State Council included a self-described libertarian. (He got his seat and became the CPRF faction leader.)

 

[Comrade Izaac]

included a self-described libertarian

what type of libertarian? bc if i recall correctly libertarian still means what it originally meant over by u folks

It's not really clear — Viktor Vorobyov is definitely regionalist, and he once stated that his views are closer to those of "von Mises, Hayek and Rothbard than Marx, Engels and Lenin".

His political history is quite varied, as he has long been involved in political activism and worked with various political movements (from Maxim Reznik to Navalny to Yabloko to A Just Russia), and he once organized an independent student union to boot.

The CPRF might be the most interesting political party around today

WIP I think

He is already perhaps among the paltry crowd. He walks among them and they see him not, he obeys many of them whom he could or should command, he is powerless under them, he would be efficient over them, and successful and great. His spirit quickens among the dull and plodding multitude but inert in body his material progress is checked because he has not yet been found out.

Was not Caesar Caesar at twenty? and not yet known for what he was as such but to himself until forty.
