"STUDENTS BURN AMERICAN FLAG," Kingston Whig Standard. June 02, 1933. Page . --- Young Self-styled Communists Caused Uprising at Amherst College ---- AMHERST, Mass., June 2 - The burning of the United States flag by a group of self-styled young Communists today brought about an investigation of student activities at Amherst College. The meeting of the self-styled radicals was broken up last night by a larger group of students. Three of the "Communists" were injured during the ensuing fight, but none required hospital treatment. Twenty Amherst freshmen held forth on Communism for an hour before about 100 classmates put them to flight. The 'Radicals" burned a small American flag to 'show their internationalism" during the meeting and sang the Internationale, the Communist anthem.

he’s asking if you’re a communist, Robin.

#As a humanities student griffin is so real for this #In my country; the last two years in high school are spent specializing in a subject area of your choice like STEM or humanities or busines #When i was still in middle school i knew these cool humanities students and i was like those young protags who think teenagers are SOO cool #We were having lunch together and then they started talking about communism and looked at me as if i had an opinion #And i—a naive child—stammered out: “b-b-but… isn’t communism…. B a d?” #Then they looked at each other then looked at me and smiled and said the following in reassuring tones: #“Moony in two years you’re going to be gay and a communist” #They weren’t wrong about the first part. #For the second: i’m just anti-capitalist #babel an arcane history #babel #babel rf kuang #Robin swift #griffin lovell #rf kuang

I'm considering joining a communist party but I'm maybe too young and not sure if I have enough experience or awareness of the current state of my country. I've also only read 3 of Marx's works so far and I don't know if that's enough. On one hand the experience might help me get a better grasp on politics, but I could also just not be taken seriously and waste time instead. What do you think?

do it. there is no level of political education which is necessary to join a party. if they laugh you out for not having read anti-duhring or whatever that's not a communist party, that's a snobby book club. any party worth their salt will be happy to have helping hands and any communist worth anything will be happy to teach you whatever you don't think you know. hell, even if the party turns out to be a glorified book club--you will develop a better understanding of whatever texts you have read talking their ideas through with other communists.

in the worst-case scenario, it can be a learning experience--if the organization is ineffective or dangerous, you will be better able to spot red flags for those things in the future. in the best-case scenario you will go from reading a couple of books to actually helping make change happen in the world. join a party!

#ask #and realistically lets be honest here #a lot of people in communist parties havent read a word of marx #this can often be a bad thing but--genuinely #there is no minimum threshold of theory expertise #also you mention that you're young--be careful and be aware that just like in any space #any social organization or group #there are predatory people out there #keep yourself safe #but join a party fr

ohhh I got my first raging anon. I used to get raging anons before but this is the rambly kind that sounds like they might benefit from some serious therapy to learn to control their emotions.

either way thank you, because this genuinely made me chuckle a bit. but it's interesting how you clearly feel so strongly about this, and yet you don't have the balls to show us your username? don't you want your comrades to know who you are so you can come together and arrange a revolution or two?

That's not the correct order but I don't think it changes much to be honest lmao.

#young royals #sorry for putting it in the tag but i want to be able to find it on my blog #i might elaborate on some of these later if i still feel like it #i probably wont feel like it #i really hope someone celebrated the weekend a little too hard and this isn't what they're like when they're sober #btw that comrades thing refers to the fact that they implied they support communism #i don't think anti-monarchy = communist because it doesn't

not simon leaving after wille's whole ass breakdown about how he hasn't gotten the support he's needed 😭😭😭 "love isn't supposed to be this hard" yeah you're also not supposed to lose your older brother at 16 and instead of being given the time and resources to grieve, you're forced to prepare to lead a whole fucking country. but thems the breaks apparently.

#no spoilers i havent watched episode 6 yet #i will tomorrow #also not to be a monarchy apologist at all #watch me write a fic where simon abruptly realizes that a “democratically elected” leader in a capitalist system #is still deeply flawed and corrupted #please actually former prince and his bf join the communist revolution #i actually have pictures of the are you a communist stickers in swedish that my roommate saw when she visited! #young royals spoilers #yr s3 spoilers

“Work Among the Unemployed Youth!” Young Worker.  June 15th, 1931. Page 3. ---- By N. Freed ---- Work among the unemployed cannot be overestimated. The Unemployed situation in Canada has taken on a real mass character. We can expect a much worse situation this coming winter as employment is continually on the decline. Unemployment is the cause of the whole working class today. We cannot carry on work among the employed workers in the shop unless we win the confidence of the unemployed workers - both are very closely linked up. Any underestimation of this work is just as dangerous and wrong as the underestimation of the work among the employed workers. This work has not been given the fullest consideration by our league as a whole. There was no national program worked out for this field of activity, as a result each district carried on work of its own. About a year ago or so our approach to the work among the unemployed wrong was entirely wrong. We issued general slogans such as $25,00 for married men, $18.00 for single men young workers. This of course could not bring us any results. It was only when we started to develop our demands on a more concrete basis, such as meal tickets, bed tickets etc. that we were successful in many cases to rally and win the confidence of the workers. Then we had the task of linking this up with the major demands such as non-contributory state unemployment insurance campaign. In this district because of the fact that this was realized at the beginning of last winter we can record some very good achievements. The unemployed workers in Winnipeg fully realize that it was as a result of the leadership given by the party and league that they have received some "relief." 

The methods of "relief” on the part of the boss class in their division of single and married men makes it rather difficult to define the actual demands of the young workers as in the category of single men there are both young and adult workers. The amount of relief they receive and the provisions under which they receive it are identical. Because of this situation it makes it also difficult on the organizational field. You could not organize youth sections in the employed association, you would have to organize single men and married men. This of course is not advisable. This does not necessarily mean that there are no specific youth demands amongst the unemployed youth. There are for instance discrimination against young workers. If their fathers are receiving relief or they have dependents they are denied any kind of relief. Particularly is this true among the unemployed girls, The girls are forced to accept house work and farm work just for their meals and if they refuse this they are cut off entirely and given no relief.

It is very difficult to organize the unemployed girls particularly as they don't hang out in the slave markets, soup kitchens and very few of them go to the employment agencies.

Those girls that we did succeed in drawing into our ranks because of lack of attention and also be cause of the uninteresting meeting dropped out. This proves to us that we have to find more attractive means to keep young workers in our unemployed associations, such as sports, etc. The to get best way to keep unemployed workers both the youth and adult work unemployed associations The by proving to them that this organization is fighting for their immediate demands. In Winnipeg, for instance there are about 3,000 unemployed workers in this association. A great number of them are young workers. This is because the unemployed association is continually taking up the grievances of the unemployed with the city authorities. There is a special grievance apartment set up for this purpose.

The Relief assigned by the governments Federal, Provincial and Municipal was to be direct relief, but the authorities found that it was more profitable for them to create relief jobs of all kinds. Most of them being of a non-productive character under the pretense that direct relief would spoil the moral of the people.

Unemployed workers are being entirely forced to work several days a week for this so-called "relief". At the present time the number of days of work have been increased while the relief has been cut down to a minimum. The single men are being forced into soup kitchens and flop house The married men's allowances have been cut. The task of the unemployed organization is that of carrying on a struggle against the soup kitchens and also to develop strikes on these relief jobs.

The coming National convention of the league has one of its tasks to work out a concrete program of demands for the Unemployed Youth to nationalize the work, to find suitable forms of work in order to keep the unemployed young work in our organizations. This question has got to be given very close consideration. It is necessary to make a study of the number of unemployed youth in Canada. Today we find that about 50 per cent of the working youth in Canada are unemployed and a great number are part time. This field of work is a very fruitful field for our league and party and much more consideration must be given to this question.

“Activities Among the Young Miners,” Young Worker. June 15th, 1931. --- By J. Tr ---- The activities of the YCL among the young miners was not stressed much at the unit meetings of the Lethbridge Sub-district. When circulars in this respect were sent out by the DEC the comrades took the matter up followed by very little discussion or no discussion at all and passed up with the feeling that there wa not much more to be done. It has even been proven where members took very lule part in Trade Union meetings. There was not much done in get- contacts with young miners.

We find that under the present conditions it is very easy to get contacts through talking with individuals about their everyday grievances. We have tried to get contacts by holding socials but little was accomplished, due to the fact. that the young miners took no interest in these socials. Just lately we have found out that much better results be gotten through having all members trying individual contacts with their miner friends.

Gremlin loves Legend of Zelda and wants to be Link for Halloween, so today I got a bunch of supplies in order to embark upon a whole series of craft projects. I'm starting with the hat, since that's the biggest thing to make, and it's incredibly satisfying to be working on something that grows so quickly. After that I'll be making a rupee pouch and a handful of resin rupees, a bomb bag with little crocheted bombs, and probably a carrier for his ocarina, since the one it came with is ugly as hell. Maybe I'm going a little overkill, but this Halloween costume is going to kick ass.

#dangerous communist propaganda #specifically he's being young link from ocarina of time #which is his favorite zelda game #we ordered him a kokiri sword and deku shield from a seller on etsy

ok yeah here we go. speaking of things the communards did that fucking deserve to be called out we don’t talk nearly enough about the fact that iosef lilianovich dros was sixteen when he was made a “political commissar” and was fighting against the coalition. he was a child. he was a child solider. no wonder he’s so traumatized 

like. yeah. this is horrible actually

#anybody want mood whiplash on this blog?? yeah?? #when this came up in my playthrough my jaw kinda dropped #me in a sweet tone: my darling comrades do not ever do this shit again #but of course. we also can assume the coalition was executing those kids #communist harry who already had that thought about steban and uli being executed and how *young* they are #meeting dros and realizing he was only a kid when he went to war #and deciding he's not going to let that sort of thing happen again. not in *his* revolution #I have thoughts about that and it's probably going to end up in my longfic
