Hate Without ReasonPeace, justice, equality. Things Americans are proud to die for. But Communism?  They don't even want communists around them, let alone die for their system. But why? If people actually read the Communist Manifesto, perhaps they'd find out that their government was tricking them. That they were being lied to. That the people who have been ripping them off and exploiting them are now scapegoating and forwarding hate and aggression to innocent people who want the best for their citizens.
I'm of course going to refer back to Red Terror of the 1950's. The US was blacklisting accused Communists and doing inhumane things to them, but why? BecauseHate Without Reason by ~Strudel288
Soavist Quote: HumanityYou see the troubles of life will never dissipate, no matter how hard we as humans try- it would take an eternity to quell the troubles we have in each moment of our lives, and in that entirety we will surely gain far more troubles, so my advice to whoever is reading this, is to not worry and march through- your life is but what you make of it, should people push you down, trample and stone you- you have it in you to march on through, should it be a rape of the body, mind or emotion; you still have it in you to march on through, and in regimented form too.
We as a race are strong especially when we are weak; we can overcome anything- includSoavist Quote: Humanity by ~ShadowsOfAVorlon
Soavist: The 5 Pillars of LifeThe 4 pillars of life: shelter, food, drink, and the Sun. Strange isn't it that we need these very bare basics to survive, and yet we can play God and add another pillar to survival of which changes everything completely. We have added money, if one does not have finances one simply cannot live, just as we can't without the original 4 pillars.
We as humans have done something quite horrific, we have capitalised survival, we have made it so that those who cannot afford to live, simply perish- yes there are organisations to help people with no money, but they simply cannot do what is needed- what is ultimately something for we as a race to doSoavist: The 5 Pillars of Life by ~ShadowsOfAVorlon

Modern Russia, land of frightening homophobia.

:iconnurizin:

Hi everyone, this is NurIzin : "former Commissar, and observer"

I post this entry because I think there is a huge issue, problem in nowadays Russia people should be aware of : strong homophobia. Why I post this today is because a Russian person who immigrated to Belgium I know, recently shared a anti-gay video that will be linked here, from facebook, called "sodomy is not normal". By doing so this person particulary dissapointed me, but showed how strong this hate plea is.

While homophobia is a quite widespread phaenomena, I think it is worth to enlight the case of Russia. USSR years haven't bred left-winged people, nor taught tolerance. It should be noticed that Putin, the now leader of Russia, who is promoting the homophobic law that are now passed, was an agent of the KGB.

But let's come to the real issue : Recently, Russia passed a bill against "homosexual propaganda", that is clearly an act of discrimination against LGBT community : [link] and BBC article : [link]

Quite worrying, but here is a poll (made by a Russian website) about how homosexuals are seen in Russia : [link]
And here another small article about the subject (from Russian website as well, translated in English) : [link]

And here is the video, you don't need to speak Russian to understand its content : [link]


It is interesting to notice that while USSR was theorically a secular or atheist state, religion and traditionnal values are growing strong again, while in always-have-been-capitalist Western Europe, religion and traditionnal values tend to be mocked, at least when they are seen as extremist or backward point of views.
Interesting as well the fact they go in the opposite direction of Western Europe, where Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland legalized same-sex marriage (and in some cases child adoption). As well as France and UK, on the way of legalization as well (really recently passed in France, but with lot of tensions).

I wanted to post this entry as well to have a less American centered subject.
If there are Russians in this group, their testimonies or opinions would be most welcome

I hate how social democrats use the word Communist to be cool.

Like, Social Democrats are Social Democrats and should not pretend they are communists.

Odd, last time I checked, I'd thought most Social Democrats tried to distance themselves from our cause. Or so it has been for some decades...

Do you want freedom, then are not servants.
Do you want the good, so createth the right.
Do you want to harvest, thus ensuring the seed.
Do you want life, so does the deed.

I was wondering if the communist party had its own symbolic animal. I mean, the democrats have the donkey, the republicans have the elephant, so shouldn't we have one as well? I tried to research this on my own but i found nothing of use.
And if we don't have one, why not?

Except that communism is an international ideology, while the Dems and the Reps are two American liberal and neoliberal parties, they do not represent an ideology. The donkey and elephant is an American-only stuff. In Europe, parties don't use animals to represent themselves. As this group is international, I don't think it would be a good idea to americanize it.
That's my opinion at least.
however, think about a symbolic around animal could be interesting, but could be as well difficult, as how each or each animal is seen varies a lot according to the culture, an obvious example : in Europe and American continent, the cow is seen as a farm animal, as food, and globally nothing more, while in India, it is an holy/sacred and respected animal. During the pagan era of Scandinavia, raven was seen as a messager, as the animal of Odin, and so, was respected, but when Christians came in Europe, they associated it with Evil. And there are many more examples.

well we could have one for the C.P.D.A. instead of for all communists.

As far as I've ever known, Communists the world over have not really adopted any one animal to represent the cause. Our symbolism has largely been in relation to industry or agriculture, the hammer and sickle being the penultimate example.

Soviet Communism was somewhat associated with a bear, but that was more of a general Russian thing even before 1917.

Maybe we could have a poll to find an animal to represent the C.P.D.A.
If any of the other members wanted to that is.

I don't know of any communist party that has taken an animal as a symbol, although I think it's mostly because we prefer our already established symbols like the hammer and sickle.
